- Holy moly, I tell you what.
Everything's shed today.
All of my giant snakes shed.
Actually, Ariana shed, and then of course,
right back here, we have...
Go ahead, Ariana, we're coming through baby girl.
We have Ivy, my girl, that's looking amazing,
and look at this, a beautiful shed she's got right here.
I'm gonna just try to pull it out.
Move over just a little bit
so I can get your shed, sweetheart.
Move over just so I can get your shed, sweetie.
It looks like a perfect shed.
There's this piece of it.
There you go, girl.
And yeah, this is an amazing shed,
but the thing is, is that not just Ariana and Ivy shed,
tons of other snakes shed today,
so gosh, that's an absolutely amazing,
perfect shed from my girl, Ivy.
But let's go ahead and see what else shed.
Yep, my girl, Gemma, shed too,
but she actually blew her cage up.
There's shed all over the place.
She probably needs a little bit of a soak as well,
'cause she's got a little bit of shed on her,
but that is incredible.
Oh, and guess what?
Guess who else blew their cage up?
My girl, Sunrise. That's right.
Now, it looks like she's actually in pretty good shape here,
but definitely looks like her cage is full of shed,
so we've got some cleaning to do here,
and then, that is not it.
Believe it or not,
that's not the only giant snakes that have shed today.
What a crazy day.
It's so weird to think of.
Usually, they don't shed all at the same time,
but of course, Geoffrey shed as well.
That's right, my boy, Geoffrey, looking absolutely gorgeous.
Look at that snake right there, unbelievable.
Again, not a perfect shed,
but he got it all off and looks absolutely wonderful.
So how weird is that?
To start the day off with
a ton of my big snakes shedding all today,
so definitely a weird thing,
and that Ivy shed looks absolutely perfect,
the one good shed that came out in one piece.
Wow, I love that animal,
and all the snakes look absolutely beautiful
with their new skin.
Well, like I mentioned, Gemma blew her cage up,
so it's time to clean her up, and guess what?
I'm gonna actually have Bruce and Mike holding Gemma,
while I do the work over here.
I get the easy job.
I'll be honest with you,
I'd rather clean the cage than hold a 150 pound snake.
So you guys ready?
- Oh yeah. - Let's do it.
- [Brian] Okay guys, jump on in.
The good news is she's such a good girl.
She's so tame.
- Pulling out giant snakes all day.
Come on, big girl.
- Woo.
- All right.
- Look at the spot, look at the spot.
- All right, and my fun is to actually clean the cage now.
You guys have fun over there.
(vacuum whirring)
- It's working. - Just keep breathing.
- Deep breath. - Just keep breathing.
- Why do I always work out the days
where we do big snakes?
Oh, man.
- [Brian] Is this a good workout?
- [Mike] Oh no!
- Now we're just cuddling, this is weird.
- Yeah.
- Yeah we know what it looks like Noah,
yeah we know what it looks like.
We know what it sounds like too.
- You can't make me laugh while I'm
holding a giant snake.
It's the fourth quarter, you guys gonna give up now?
- (indistinct)
So, I'm all cleaned up
you guys did a good job over here.
Okay. Good.
All right.
Let's get her back now.
- I think I can move.
- Good job guys.
- Little twirl. Good job guys.
Now I'm ready for a break.
- Ready for it now?
Oh yeah. My job wasn't hard at all.
Got some baby. Kluber it's hatching.
Not that many left to go for the year. This was exciting.
Cause this is the first kind of really good
scaleless Texas rat snake clutch.
This was scaleless Texas rattlesnake.
The scaleless Texas rat snake,
and these are going to be bangers again.
Lori has been breeding kind of the nicest ones, you know,
poly genically, trying to breed
the most beautiful scaleless.
And I'm telling you what?
This one right here, once it sheds out.
Oh my goodness.
But every single one of these scaleless Texas rats are like
a quality, I mean really beautiful animals.
So cool.
Next year we even have some more up to size that are going
to be absolutely amazing. But look at how feisty is out.
Got he got me.
The truth is at this size. Their teeth are so small.
You can't even feel it,
but what absolutely beauties these are.
I am so excited to finally have an entire clutch,
of beautiful scaleless Texas rat snakes and
another beautiful animal
we have here are actually the granite max max or San Luis
Potosi king snakes. Again,
these are a beautiful granite one, right?
Normally they would have like kind of bars or saddles down
and the granite's will have like striping.
Branding all kinds of different stuff.
We Preuss a bunch of these this year and they're very
polymorphic.
So it's kind of cool to just see all the different variety.
And then lastly,
we have a couple Halloween Pueblo milk snakes,
and these are getting pretty good. You know, again,
the best Halloween problems are gonna be ones that are going
to be black and orange.
These do definitely still have a little bit of red on them,
but they're getting better and better.
We've had a couple of clutches this year that were absolute
bangers, but nevertheless,
definitely pretty cool to have these gone again.
Maybe about a dozen clutches left the hatches here and then
it's kaputs, the klubers
actually go into brumation in less than
a month and a half. So Oop,
this little guy's trying to get away. Hey,
where are you going, buddy?
Don't you leave? Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Where are you at? Okay, there you are buddy.
Come on, get back.
Hey, this guy's a squirmy.
Okay. So that's it for baby kluber
We're at Randazzle is a really cool food place.
We're going to pick up a bunch of pizza stuff.
This guy's going to make some amazing pizza. All right.
All right. We're all set, right?
- Oh yeah, party on.
- Donuts don't go on pizza, Mr.Brian
(Upbeat music plays)
- We're back home. We got our ingredients.
You ready to make some good pizza?
All right, I'm ready for it.
Let's go.
(Upbeat music plays)
- Whoa baby.
- Get to the shoulders, bro.
Get the shoulders. You got it, you got it, you got it
Yeah dude.
- Awesome.
(Upbeat music plays)
- That was good pizza though, man.
Holy moly.
You gotta try it, man.
That was good pizza.
All right. We're going to eat some pizza.
Getting back to the shop.
Cause we aren't done for the day.
Getting down to the nitty gritty guys.
When it comes to clutches,
I think we have 12 or 13 more ball python,
clutches to pull for the year.
But this one is actually a pretty interesting animal here.
This is actually a black pastel pinstripe,
but then it was bred to a vanilla red Stripe,
which I think is interesting.
Cause I don't know how that black pesto red Stripe
pinstriped vanilla is going to mix.
Remember we had shot that really crazy animal that had like,
and this is actually got black pestle in it on top of that.
So we could hatch out some more of that really cool stuff.
I don't know. It doesn't look like a very big clutch to me.
Mama it's okay.
Let me just go ahead and see what you got down here. Well,
it's got a couple of slots and it looks like we've only got
a few good eggs.
So let's just go ahead and pull these eggs out really quick.
Get them off the bedding here. We'll get her all cleaned up.
We got two little sluggers right here.
So definitely a little bit of a disappointing thing,
but that happens sometimes towards the end of the year,
I've talked about fertility, stuff like that.
As temperatures rise,
sperm actually can go bad and stuff like that. So we just,
like I said, we have 12 more clutches.
I'm assuming most of them are going to be good.
They all look good, but we're going to have some slugs.
That's just part of breeding stakes.
There's no doubt about that. We have three good eggs,
a couple of slugs from this clutch. And again,
some really potential for some interesting things,
because again that vanilla,
the red Stripe black pastel and pinstripe mixed together.
That could be something really cool.
I have no idea what it's going to look like.
So hopefully we'll get lucky.
And the odds guys will be in
our favor and these three (indistinct),
but Hey, we had an absolute banger of a year.
We're not done yet, but man, I tell it,
it was one for the ages, pretty excited.
We're always trying to kind of improve the way we keep
things here at the rep care, right?
And of course we have automatic missing systems on all our
comedian lands as well as anything else that needs high
humidity.
But one of the things that we were noticing is that was
getting a little bit wet in here. To be honest with you,
they go off like four times a day and chameleons need that
type of moisture, right?
So we ended up reducing the nighttime MREs and actually
replaced them with foggers instead,
which is pretty cool here. It looks really cool.
What we're going to do is actually open for rep term hours.
We're going to have the foggers on it as well,
just because they look so amazing.
So they still get that humidity and all of the condensation
on the leaf so that they can drink off of them.
But you don't have that wetness that was happening with too
much moisture from the misting system that we have.
So again,
there'll be actually do better this way because now they'll
have four or five hours of actual foggers as opposed to just
like three or four minutes of misting. You know what I mean?
So, and then it looks just absolutely incredible.
I mean, look at how cool that looks.
So again,
we're always trying to not only prove the way things look
here,
but also improve the husbandry for the animals to keep them
healthy and happy. Another banger clutch hatched out guys.
This is actually at Mojave. Remember we actually cut it.
It was actually a Calico yellow belly pinstripe and wow.
Did we produce some cool stuff? I mean,
some of the stuff is just kind of,
normally we've got yellow bellies here, stuff like that.
And then look at these two Calicos here, man.
Oh, gees.
These Calicos are unbelievable.
I mean the orange and all that orange and pink is going to
turn to white when it gets older.
So these calicos are going to be absolute rippers.
Then it's actually kind of cool here.
We actually got a Mojave yellow belly Calico,
which I think looks really cool too.
A lot of times the Mojave and the Calico kind of cancels
each other out a little bit.
That one looks absolutely incredible.
Then we have a little jigsaw Calico here,
which is pretty cool.
But then we got these two monkeys here,
which are actually jigsaw yellow belly Calicos so that's a
Mojave, it's a pinstripe,
it's a Calico and it's a yellow belly and they are
absolutely beautiful. I remember when I cut these eggs,
I was like, oh my God,
they are so cool while hatched out they are even cooler.
So I was so excited to see these guys climb out of the egg.
- How much you know, was shedding out.
So we actually have them soaking helps them. Obviously,
you know, humidity brings it up,
figured this would be a great opportunity to deep,
clean this case.
So that's what I've been doing for the last little bit.
Now you guys get to watch me, let's do it.
