- Hey, good morning everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
It is gonna be an absolutely hectic day for me.
I actually have 2 school events.
I have a zoo-to-you, and then I'm really excited,
because later tonight we are heading to Little Caesars.
Yes, the pizza corporation.
We're meeting with, like, the head guys of Little Caesars.
We're doing the little presentation.
They want me to talk about just,
my business and stuff like that.
Gonna be really cool.
I think it's an awesome opportunity.
A lot going on, and I've gotta just be honest with you guys,
I also have been really, really sick.
I think I might've picked up a parasite again.
Remember, I was kinda doing
all kinds of crazy stuff with turtles,
and I was in with RJ, and all kinds of stuff.
I just, I'm pretty sure I have a parasite
like I did a year and a half ago, so I'm feeling horrible.
But you know what? Things just never stop for me,
so I have no time to be sick.
So, I'm gonna struggle through the day.
With that being said, this crew is also gonna
help kinda entertain you guys as I'm going crazy here.
So, let's just go ahead and get this day started
and make it the best we possibly can.
Down in the dungeon, but I'm solo today
because Kelsey is out running some errands.
So, I'm gonna get you a few
ball python clutches if you don't mind.
Hopefully you will like it.
The first one is this beautiful lesser ball python.
I tell you what, that girl is gorgeous,
but she is just a lesser.
But she looks incredible.
Don't bite me, don't bite me.
You're okay, sweetheart.
It's okay, honey.
You did so good, wow.
I tell you what, this is a nice clutch.
Oops, rolled one egg out over here.
So, I'm definitely gonna have to
candle these eggs really quick.
Just this one right here.
I'm not too terribly worried about it.
We'll get that one in the incubator box,
and then we'll go ahead and pull
the rest of these eggs really quickly.
Okay, we'll get them in a egg box really quick.
And this was actually bred
to that pastel crystal ball python.
That's a male that had a couple
slug clutches to start the season.
Now we've had 3 good clutches from him,
so that's pretty awesome.
You could get what basically is like a super special
when you breed it to a lesser,
but it's actually a special lesser.
Looks a little bit different.
Regardless, we have 2, 4, 6, 7 good eggs.
And again, like I said, 2 more clutches to pull.
This next clutch is gonna be absolutely incredible.
I love this girl right here.
She's actually a cinny woma,
and I think it's absolutely beautiful.
And then it's actually bred to an enchi banana pinstripe.
So wow, that's a lot of really cool stuff.
You know, that cinny and banana stuff mixes so well,
and then all those other genes in there, wow.
This is gonna be amazing.
Oh, I see a slug or 2, but overall a pretty good clutch.
We got 2 little sluggers right here, no big deal.
I mean, that just happens.
Other than that, looks like a pretty good clutch.
So, I'm not gonna cry over
a couple slugs if you know what I mean.
Ooh, and mama is looking like she wants to bite me.
Mama, be okay, girl.
It's alright.
I'm gonna go ahead, take this.
Whoa! Come on, girl.
Alright, I'm gonna take this out, get her.
Mom is just upset that I'm taking her eggs away right now,
but that's pretty good.
We got 2, 4, 5 good eggs and a couple slugs.
So, not the best of clutch, but hey.
5 good eggs, and again, that combination is ridiculous.
Could produce some really unbelievable babies.
Now, I just pulled this girl down.
She's actually a spinner yellow belly,
and she's bred to a Pastave orange dream
and a woma lesser pinstripe.
But she's got a couple eggs left,
so I'm just gonna really gently move her back in here,
and we'll have to collect the eggs
either later today or tomorrow by the latest.
(relaxed music)
- Hey, so, I'm setting up babies just like every day.
We have a lot of geckos hatching every day, about 50 to 100.
So, I'll show you some really cool ones.
Now, this is from our dark line.
It's not super dark, but it has a super cool pattern.
This would be a dark jungle mack snow.
This one here is a high white
mack snow raptor, white and yellow.
Bit of a mouthful there.
So, the raptor is a Tremper albino and eclipse together.
So, this is like, what?
4 or 5 gene animal.
Now, the high white there's the pied on its face.
It's a little harder to tell on these guys
'cause there's not a lot of contrast there,
but it's similar to that super snow eclipse
that has a lot of pied on it.
This little guy is a Murphy's patternless mack snow,
and it's a little crazy. (chuckles)
You can see this little guy screaming
and running all around, shaking its tail at me.
This is a little sign of aggression
when they pull their tail up and wag it.
It's to make it look a little bigger.
This last one is just a really nice tangerine.
It's got a cool pattern.
It's got a really cool head pattern,
that bold little band there.
I'm hoping that stays.
I was in this group working on just, like,
isolating that bold type pattern,
so it's cool to see that it's working out a little bit.
All right, as you guys can see,
I got a ton of work still cut out for me today.
Looking forward to showing you guys more in the future.
And actually, maybe next time we could have Danny
pick out some that are pretty cool,
'cause I always tend to show the same type of stuff up.
It might be cool to see a different perspective.
(relaxed music)
- It's actually what they call an omnivore, okay?
That means it needs both protein, like bugs,
and it also needs vegetation.
- [Child] This is pretty cool.
- Yup, everyone will get a chance to hold stuff, I promise.
These presentations have been amazing.
It's actually summer camps.
And even with me feeling as bad as I am,
it kind of lifting my spirits to be around kids
and just be so excited about it.
So, I probably enjoyed this more than they did.
- 'Bout to feed everything,
and I just saw a few snakes that caught my eye,
and I wanted to show you guys.
This is a highway Mackenzie.
And this is a pinstripe red stripe yellow belly.
So, this one is actually my favorite one
that's still here right now.
It's a black pastel chocolate Cypress,
and it's just so dark and beautiful.
It has this beautiful ring around both sides.
- Quick update on those eggs that I caught a few days ago.
Still not a hundred percent out of the egg,
which is weird, because I'll be totally honest with you,
I think I need to find a little warmer spot.
What we're trying to do is find a spot
that we can hook a live cam on these guys
so that you guys can watch them hatching 24 hours a day.
I think the place that we started with is a little bit cool,
so we're gonna have to
increase the temperature a little bit.
Regardless, they're starting to come out.
This is that Pastave orange dream bred to a pinstripe.
We're hoping we're gonna get some lemon blast,
Mojave, orange dreams, and a whole bunch of different stuff.
Regardless, looks like we definitely
have a Pastave orange dream right here.
This looks like it's probably a pastel jigsaw,
possible orange dream, not 100% sure yet.
This is definitely a jigsaw orange dream right here.
And then this one I thought might be an orange dream,
but it turns out it's just a jigsaw,
which is a pinstripe and a Mojave.
And then we have a few other things here,
but you can see this one is definitely
a lemon blast orange dream.
This is definitely the jigsaw orange dream right here.
So, they'll be outta the eggs in the next day or 2,
and then we'll check on the other clutch.
And then there's just a few babies in these ones
that haven't hatched yet.
We just have a little woma pinstripe right here.
Looks like we have a really beautiful animal in here,
which could be a pastel woma lesser pinstripe,
which is really cool.
And then one more egg right over here
that looks like a woma pinstripe that hasn't hatched yet.
So, these guys'll be out soon.
And again, probably not high enough temperature
for these guys to hatch the way I really want them to.
So, we're gonna change that today,
and hopefully these clutches I just caught
will hatch out in the next day or 2 as well.
(relaxed music)
Onto coluber clutches.
We actually have a couple coluber clutches now.
This first one is actually a het crimson corn,
which is a hypo Miami phase.
So, the Miami phase just kina looks a little bit more
like a milk snake than a corn snake or whatever,
and then the Crimson is a hypo, which is recessive.
But these are het first scaleless,
and of course it's bred to another scaleless.
We'll see what's going on here.
Looks like a pretty decent clutch.
There are a few slugs, but overall it's not too bad.
We're just gonna put these guys in here,
kinda see what happens.
I'll put 'em in, get those slug eggs
and stuff like that out.
And you can see how beautiful the crimsons are here.
Again, they have that more silver
and a little bit banded compared to a normal corn snake.
So, absolutely a beautiful animal.
Mama looks really good.
We'll get the shed out.
She already has water in there, weirdly enough.
So, she's all set and ready to go.
We'll get her a little bit cleaned up,
get her a meal relatively soon, and check on these eggs.
Slide these in here real quick, there you go.
And now we'll take a look at this clutch again.
It's kind of a mixed bag.
There's some slugs, there's some good eggs,
there's some other things like that.
So, we'll just kinda clean all of the bad eggs up,
and just leave the good eggs behind,
and see what we end up having.
It's weird, 'cause there's just kinda bad eggs
scattered throughout all of the good eggs.
Typically what happens is they'll lay, like,
5 or 6 good eggs, and then a bunch of slugs.
In this case it was like, a good egg,
a bad egg, a good egg, a bad egg.
So, they're kinda all over the place, which is fine.
We'll just have a little bit more work
getting these guys all figured out.
Get this egg out over here.
Think we've got 2 more slugs to get away really quick.
There we go, and let's get this one off here.
There we go, alright, we'll get these eggs
kinda all settled back in here.
Then we'll count them up and see what happens here.
We got 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 good eggs!
And looks like we got 2, 4, 6 bad eggs.
So, 15 good eggs, 6 bad eggs, not too bad.
Again, this is a crimson het scaleless bred to a scaleless.
So, we should get some pretty cool babies out of this.
Moving on, this is actually a second clutch
from a Mexican black kingsnake.
And again, the second clutches are typically
a little bit smaller clutches
and sometimes there's some fertility issues.
She's not a really big girl, but she sure is beautiful.
So, let's go ahead and see what she's got.
Okay, and they're really big eggs.
I mean, take a look at the size of the egg
compared to the actual female.
I always think that that's absolutely crazy
that a female can lay that much energy.
This is kind of a weird egg here.
Good chances that isn't gonna hatch,
but there's enough of a good egg looking
that I'll put it in there.
Maybe I'll candle it and see if there's
any embryo or anything like that.
Regardless, she has 4 good eggs.
Well, 3 good eggs and 1 kinda so-so egg.
First time clutch, not too bad.
Just finished up pulling up clutches,
all of the other stuff that we had to do here at BHB.
We're gonna actually pack up,
get on the road 'cause we have a zoo-to-you.
I think it's like a summer camp.
Again, not a hundred percent sure,
but it's supposed to be pretty awesome.
Then right after that we're heading off
to our Little Caesars meeting.
So, again, busy day.
Still very much under the weather, but hey,
I'm gonna hang in there,
and we're gonna make the best of it.
(relaxed music)
Just pulled up to this next event.
I think it's actually like a gymnastic camp that is done,
so that should be pretty cool.
I'm feeling okay.
Not that great, but as soon as we're done with this,
then we head over to the Little Caesars.
No clue what's gonna happen there,
because literally, I think, like,
the president and the head of operations
for Little Caesars is gonna be there.
So, this is like, it's kind of a big deal.
So, not really nervous about it, but more excited about it.
Let's get this one done and then head over there.
(relaxed music)
Just wrapping up, had an absolutely amazing time
with a bunch of amazing people.
- [All] Bye!
- It's awesome.
Okay, so we're here at the Little Caesars headquarters,
and basically what it was was that a friend of mine,
Ben from, like, 25 years ago, was a snake guy,
is now, like, head of operations at Little Caesars.
So, he asked me to come in and do a little presentation,
talk a little bit, introduce people
because "It's the time to strike"
is their motto for the year.
So, they have like, the snake is their motto'd animal.
So, I'm coming in.
We're gonna have an absolutely great time.
Let's go do this.
(relaxed music)
And we're back here at the Reptarium.
It was a pretty awesome day
even though I've been feeling under the weather.
I'm gonna go home, get some rest.
What a crazy day, guys.
I promise I'll feel really good.
I'm feeling better right now.
I did take some medicine,
so hopefully I'll be right as rain
within the next day or two.
We'll see how things go.
I will keep you guys updated,
and I'm wishing you a happy day,
evening, whenever you happen to be watching.
You guys are amazing!
Do me a favor, be kind to someone,
and I promise I will see you guys tomorrow.
(relaxed music)
