(soft music) (birds chirping)
- Hey, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
Just the start of another beautiful day.
I hope that your day is amazing.
We are gonna actually try to feed some little pigs
to some of the animals like Mumu
that had never eaten before,
but we have a lot of other stuff besides feeding going on.
So let's go ahead and see if Mumu wants
to take her first big meal,
and if she takes this meal, what's gonna happen
is she's definitely gonna get much bigger quickly.
So let's see what she's got going on here.
There she goes. There she is.
There it goes, girl.
Come on girl.
Oh, she smells it now.
There it is, bam!
And that's it.
That is amazing.
So again, now that she's gonna get bigger meals other
than rats, she's definitely gonna grow bigger
and quicker and that's gonna be amazing.
So Mumu ate her first little frozen pig.
We're gonna try Geoffrey.
Geoffrey is up next, he is definitely going, whoop!
Geoffrey is definitely ready to rock and roll.
Let's see if he's gonna take it.
Oh, yeah, no hesitation at all.
And again, the whole reason for this is just getting
a little bit more size on him.
You're feeding him two, three, four rats is, kind of...
It's almost the same body mass,
but having a bigger meal just causes them
to grow a little bit more and quite frankly,
it's a lot less expensive to feed one meal
as opposed to four or five large rats.
You get what I mean?
So regardless, I'm amazed that Geoffrey took that
as quickly as he did.
It looks like Mumu has taken so we are in good shape.
We're gonna feed a bunch of different things today,
but we also have to head downstairs
because I'm working on the podcast room.
I'm working on the camera room.
And if we don't get the floor in today in the camera room,
we're gonna be in trouble because we have electrical
and all kinds of other stuff coming.
So that's gonna be the project I'm working on
in between feeding all of these animals.
(upbeat music)
So the day is come.
We're finally gonna get the flooring in here
for the control room slash Jay, Anthony, Noah, office,
camera room, all that stuff.
This room is gonna be really dope.
I can't wait to take you along the journey.
This is actually the flooring that we've decided
to use right here.
I have never done this flooring,
but like everything in my life,
it doesn't stop me from doing it.
So I'm gonna learn as we go and hey, listen,
I did watch some YouTube videos
so I gotta be an expert, right?
So anyways, we're gonna get this started.
Hopefully it goes well.
Hopefully this place is gonna look dope when it's done.
Like I said, over the next four or five days,
it's gonna get done with the flooring,
then the electrical is gonna get done,
then all the cabinetry and millwork is gonna get done.
This place is gonna look absolutely incredible.
What do you say, we dive in and learn how to do this thing.
(upbeat music)
- [Jay] Dude, looks great man!
- Yeah, I've never done it before, but it's coming out good.
I mean, it's pretty simple, really,
to be totally honest with you.
I mean, anyone that has any aptitude
to building should be able to do this
cause it's literally just go like measure, stick, cut,
stick, and it's pretty simple.
So it looks great too, and it seems to be, I mean,
even with this padding on it,
it's not like really hard on your feet.
I mean, this is gonna be really nice, so yeah, wow.
This place is gonna look awesome when it's done.
It's gonna really...
This starts to make it look finished, right?
And then once you get the trim up,
get all the electrical done, millwork,
oh, this place is gonna be...
Jay, you're gonna be in heaven, right?
- [Jay] I know, I'm so excited.
- But we still have about three-quarters of the room to go.
So Ivy is up next,
and I've got Noah in the house today.
So Noah, what is going on? - Hey!
I got little piggy the pig,
and this little piggy went to the anaconda belly.
- It did go to the anaconda belly.
You can check out, I'll put a link in the description,
he's filming a bunch of stuff here,
right over on his channel.
So let's go ahead.
This is the first time you've fed an anaconda.
- Yes, definitely at least a pig before.
- All right. Oh, that's right, you fed one at 3:00 a.m.--
- At the 3:00 a.m. challenge we did last time. Yeah.
- Exactly, sorry.
All right, so what do you have to do is,
you gotta climb all the way in.
Climb all the way up.
- And avoid the anaconda mouth.
- [Brian] Yeah, all the way up.
Get in the cage.
There you go. Good job.
Hang on, she's ready.
- Oh, oh my God!
I thought she missed it for a second.
What do I do?
Do I just let her grab it?
- I don't know.
- Okay, we're all good?
- Yeah, you're good. (indistinct)
- Holy crap.
- Now just don't kill yourself getting down.
- Don't kill myself, I won't.
- And what we have to do...
What's that? That's interesting.
The tails are all locked up over here.
Kind of interesting.
It's about breeding season and I've been noticing this type
of behavior over the last couple days where actually Aries
is curling off like this.
And this is how anacondas will actually breed
is by curling their tails together.
Not just like overlapping one, they'll do multiple ones.
They're not breeding right now,
but I've been noticing some courtship.
So the good news is Aries is in sheds
and so he shouldn't bother Ivy while she's eating,
but we're gonna definitely have to keep an eye on him
cause he could be a cheeky, little monkey,
but still a lot more to feed.
Good job, Noah.
- I mean, literally what's better than breeding and eating.
- Exactly.
(both laughing)
This one's gonna be interesting.
I have to get in the enclosure
and I love when Sunfire is perched like a green tree python.
Wow. That is amazing.
But I have to be careful because I am literally
within strike range right now, for sure.
Come on girl.
Oh yeah. Now she's going.
Oh, that was so cute.
I thought for sure, she's gonna go...
I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I'm so close to her,"
but she just took it like a little baby.
That's amazing.
This is the only retake I have
that literally perches like a green tree python
and I absolutely love it.
This is always the tricky one.
This is Snap and Pop, obviously the black-headed pythons
and they are together so I have to somehow feed them
and not have them try to eat each other.
Oh, they're both coming.
Oh-oh, I'm gonna try to get one over first.
Come on.
There it goes.
Now I can actually pull this one out.
I'm gonna put that down here
and then I can feed the other one over here.
Come on.
There it goes.
Now just keep these guys on two different ledges,
one down here, one up here
and that way there's no chance of meeting each other,
but I'll keep an eye on them.
I'll keep coming back just to make sure
that they all eat equally and that Snap doesn't go down
and try to eat Pop cause these are snake eaters
so you have to keep track of them.
But usually when I have them on different ledges,
they're completely fine.
(upbeat music)
- [Man] Woo-hoo-hoo, bro.
- Tell you what man it's getting there, right?
- It looks so good.
- I'm actually pretty stoked about it, I'm not gonna lie.
Just have a little bit to go here.
- We don't need to show them that.
- Yeah, we don't show them that.
It's nice. We're done.
- Look at how nice it looks.
- But it's good. It's really soft too, real cushiony
so it's good.
Again, once we get that white cabinetry and desktops
and all the monitors up in here,
this place could look like a space station.
I mean, it's gonna look awesome.
So yeah, maybe half hour left
and I guess now I can add flooring to my resume.
So if you guys ever...
We're gonna start a new business.
If you need flooring, you need rocks,
you need anything, we got you.
Call me up.
No, please don't.
(laughs)
There is about a half hour to go and we're done.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so next up is Butterscotch.
I normally feed her with people here.
So today I get to actually feed her without putting people
in danger.
But nevertheless,
we're gonna try and do the same thing
where we'll let her come out,
see if we can't maybe possibly get her to strike once
and then we'll see if she can catch this rabbit
out of the air.
Come on girl.
Come on.
Oh, what's she doing?
She's normally so predictable,
but today she's being a little weird.
I may just have to hand it to her, but man, I tell you what,
look at her right there.
Oh my gosh.
Come on girl.
Come on.
Oh gosh, she hit so hard.
So she didn't do the normal launch out
and then catch it in the air.
But I tell you what, she's crushed that rabbit.
I mean, she hit that thing so hard, it wasn't even funny.
I definitely would never want to get bit by that animal.
That animal is probably one of the scariest animals I have
as far as bite force when it comes to retake.
She hits so hard.
Oh my gosh, I never want to get bit by her,
but you know what?
I never will get bit by her
because I've been doing this long enough to know how not
to get bit by her.
Famous last words, right?
All right time for Night Fury, gonna do the ball.
Come on Night Fury.
Come on.
You know the trick. Come on.
So Night Fury is a little lazy today for sure.
Definitely keen on the ball,
but not really coming out for it.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and give him a little bit
of a treat, say, "That's all right."
There it is.
Nice and cute and cuddly, you know what I mean?
But again, not every time is you're gonna come flying out.
We'll continue to work on this
as well as ball training some of the other snakes too.
So it's getting there.
Slowly but surely, we're gonna get this guy dialed in.
I keep talking about the fact that we need to target train,
ball train, Casper,
because this is the one that is definitely outrageous
when it comes to striking
and you just never know what's gonna happen with it.
Where you at, dummy?
Where you at?
Come on Casper.
Come on.
Whoo, tell you what, like I said,
it misses more than it hits.
So this time it actually went well,
but I totally half the time,
I definitely pucker up every time I feed that snake.
You never know what's gonna happen,
but it's a absolute ripper.
My girl, Perdita.
Wake up girl.
I know you want some food.
There you go sweetheart.
I just love the way she takes food, I tell you what.
And I wanted to just kinda tell you guys
that I'm in a better spot mentally.
I'm starting to feel myself again.
And I'm really more grateful than ever
to have the things that I have.
It definitely was a really tough time and I'm not out of it.
And I'm gonna make that video I told you guys about
that really kinda tells you the entire journey
that I've been on over the last five months,
because I want to help others.
But I'm just happy that most days are starting
to feel better and I'm so happy.
I mean, being able to see Perdita eat
and all these animals eat
and making progress on the podcast stuff and all this stuff,
it's bringing me so much happiness
and I appreciate the fact that you guys were there for me
during this entire thing, encouraging me,
sending me great messages, and thank you so much for it.
And I want to be here for you guys.
So definitely life is getting better
and it's gonna be really good soon.
This is gonna be pretty interesting.
We've got Cupcake way up in a tree
and I'm gonna see if she's gonna want to eat for me.
Come on girl.
Oh my gosh, come on.
You want a rat?
Come on.
You want one?
I just kind of assume that this is what it would be like
in the wild, right?
Oh jeez, wow.
Whoo. That was incredibly crazy.
Whoo-hoo-hoo, doggy.
I tell you what, that was odd. That was unexpected.
So that was crazy, but it was awesome.
That was good.
Let's move on.
So woma pythons and black-headed pythons are notorious
for being incredible feeder.
So as soon as she smells this rat,
she's gonna be crazy cool.
Woo, there she goes.
Here you go, girl. Here you go.
And the thing about womas and black heads is they have
a really ferocious bite.
I've often said that the worst bite I ever had
as far as pain goes was actually a black-headed python
down in Australia at my friends, the Quay brothers,
and it got me in the bicep.
It was like a nine foot black head,
was on me for about five minutes.
Literally, tears were coming down.
They bite so hard.
Even a small head like that with the powerful...
They're like the little pit bulls of the python family.
Definitely don't wanna get bit by these guys.
(upbeat music)
So the floor is done
and I realize that we're mainly an animal channel.
I get that, but we also do a lot of stuff like this
that we're excited about, our renovations and expansions.
So the floor is in, I'm super excited about it.
Next up, we just have to finish all of these wirings here
and then we start putting countertops in, desks,
all that other stuff.
Again, this is the camera room slash control room
for the podcast room.
Then we have to finish off the podcast room,
which will happen here over the next couple of days too.
So the podcast room will be done.
This room will be done.
I think we've got five, maybe six days total
and this is gonna be wrapped.
I mean, it's gonna be completely done.
So I realize it looks like there's a lot of work,
but to be honest with you,
we're in the kinda final stages.
But I couldn't be more happy.
Love this floor.
Absolutely incredible.
But let's get back to some snake feeding.
(upbeat music)
Come on Pickles.
Oh, she is definitely in a precarious spot right now,
but she's gonna go and oh, I know I'm getting closer.
Oh yap.
Yeah, I knew she was gonna get me and to give you an idea,
that is what happens when you get bit
by a green tree python, even a little love nip like that,
just barely nipped me, they have some big teeth guys
and I'm telling you what it ain't no joke.
If she actually grabbed me and wanted to keep holding on,
I would have been in big trouble, but hey, you know what?
It's been a while since I've had a good bite.
This isn't a good bite,
but every now and then you gotta sacrifice a little blood
to the snake gods.
And last but not least, we're gonna give my girl Daisy...
Whoa.
Whoa, come on now, girl.
It'll keep you on your toes.
The last one is always the sketchiest one
if you know what I mean?
Cause I've been feeding all day.
Regardless, if you enjoyed this video,
I really appreciate it.
Go ahead and check out this playlist right over here,
it's me feeding a ton of snakes.
Could you also do me a favor?
You see I'm continuing to work on that podcast room,

Have an absolutely wonderful day.
Remember, be kind to somebody and I promise,
