- I have $5,000
and I'm looking for a snake,
but don't tell Lori.
Ball Pythons can be really expensive.
And some Ball Pythons can cost thousands.
Even tens of thousands of dollars.
And I don't buy a whole lot of expensive snakes these days.
This snake in particular, genetically,
it's a really big powerhouse animal.
It's worth about $6,000.
And I'm sending this $5,000 off to my buddy, Miguel,
over at Always Evolving Pythons.
- Mom is gonna kill you.
- [Brian] He has a really amazing,
crazy collection of ball pythons.
I'm gonna put a link in the description
if you wanna check him out.
Here's the thing though.
I told him that I want to be surprised.
I'm sending a miss money right here.
I told him to pick whatever he wants
and surprise me a complete mystery snake.
- [Children yelling] whose that Pokemon?!
- What if he sends you a Normal?
- Well, I did say any snake.
- You're getting a Cobra?!
- Well, I hope not.
- The money is off to Miguel.
I am so excited to see what he's gonna send me.
- What did you do?
- I actually sent some money to Miguel for a new snake.
- How much money did you send?
- Well, I sent him $5,000 cash.
- How did you do that?
- I just FedEx it to him.
- What if it gets lost?
- I really didn't even think about-
- Is it even legal to do that?
- I don't know.
- So, I'm calling my bank right now
to see if it is legal to actually send money like that.
I should have thought of it beforehand. (phone ringing)
- Yeah. Hi, this is Brian over at the Reptarium.
How are you?
Is it legal to send cash across state lines?
It's okay.
Thank you so much.
- [Brian] Good news. It turns out it is legal to send cash.
- [Brian] so we're okay.
- But it still could get lost.
- Yeah, that's a good point.
- We're so screwed.
- We have the envelope that my good friend,
Brian Barczyk, sent me.
At first I thought he was playing around.
Let's check this out.
- [Guest] Oh my Gosh! He was Serious!
- You crazy bastard dude!
Oh my gosh!
There's a lot of money here.
I have to count this out because I'm very curious.
I mean if this really is it.
So gimme one second guys.
- [Guest] 12, 13, 14, 15
- We have it.
Five- - hold on!
- Thousand dollars.
Thank you very much, man.
So, no it's where the fun begin.
Let's go see what I could surprise you with.
- I'm telling you, he's gonna send you a Normal.
- Realistically, I could, I mean,
send him a Normal.
- I certainly have a lot of amazing snakes.
This is actually a Super Pastel Lesser Leopard Clown Ball
by Thopeiser Banger no doubt about it,
but I kind of need to step my game up.
Producing the same stuff in the last few years.
So I needed that kind of infusion
of something really amazing.
The only thing I told Miguel
is that I didn't want it to be a male.
So that when it's raised up,
I can plug it into a bunch of stuff.
Other than that, no idea what the genetics behind it,
what it's gonna look like.
This is definitely gonna step my game up.
And again, Miguel is one of the people
you definitely wanna go to
when you wanna step your game up.
When it comes to Ball Pythons.
- To me, this is so exciting.
He never thought Brian Barczyk would buy some snakes for me.
I mean, we started this industry because of him.
We got this hobby because of him.
But now, this guy is sending me the big bucks
for the snakes.
- [Miguel] The only problem with this one,
you would actually need twenty-five more thousand dollars
for this guy.
It can't be this guy.(gasping)
You know what? Brian did start the sunset gene.
The reason why I fell in love with it.
It was actually using it for a banner.
I could do this, a Sunset Clown.
I'll be happy to offer $50,000.
Brian, what do you think?
I don't know.
- Brian also was the first person to make a scaleless snake.
- [Miguel] this right here is the world's first.
Right here we have a Pewter Vanilla Scaleless-
(deep tone)
Cause he wants something he's gonna be able to breed.
I got it.
You know what? I'm just gonna surprise him.
that can even show it right here.
Let's bag it up.
- [Brian] Miguel just called. He got the money.
It's all set.
- What are we getting?
- [Brian] I actually don't know what we're getting.
- What? Are you kidding me right now? (laughing)
- [Brian] Yeah. I just sent them the money
and I said, surprise me!
- I'm gonna surprise you.
(laughing)
I can't even believe
that you would do something like that. (laughs)
- [Brian] It's more fun to not know what we're getting.
- Fun?
We have different definitions of fun.
- Fine, you just worry way too much.
It's gonna be okay.
- I'm telling you it's gonna be Normal.
- We have this snake fully bagged up now.
We have a box ready right here.
Put the little snake in here.
- [Miguel] Make sure we get the packing paper on him.
Nice and comfortable. Throw a heat pack on there.
We're gonna finish packing this bad boy up right here.
As I drop it off, I'm gonna head somewhere else.
Cause, I mean, I have $5,000 to my name now.
I have time to go drop off the snake.
I don't know what I'm gonna be taking.
Like I said, I'm heading out somewhere else with that money.
So, I think I'm taking this bad boy right here.
(car engine revving)
$5,000
And I have Brian's snake.
Wanna go drop it off and then I'm gonna go head out to Vegas
cause you know what? I need a little break, man.
Thank you, Brian, for all this man.
I really appreciate it.
But um- (car engine revving)
(plane engine humming)
- Thank you so much.
- Have a good day guys.
- You too.
Dad, this box showed up.
- That is so awesome.
- Let's go!
- Can't believe I was sitting in the office
waiting for this thing and you ended up getting it.
- I got it.
- So, you ready to open this thing up?
By the way, I just spent $5,000 on this box.
Do me a favor and smash that like button.
(box cutter clicking)
Who knows what's in here,
but I think it's gonna be an
Orange Dream Pie Yellow Belly.
- It's Miguel's view of monster.
- I think it's a Hog Nose.
- Cobra?
- [Brian] And the time has come.
I am beyond excited! Let's see.
Will you marry me?
please say yes.
Yes Miguel, I will.
Get link in the description to all Miguel's stuff.
He's got some amazing content.
A great friend of mine.
- Get it off of me!
- Let's just jump into this and see what we got.
- [Brian] got a little bag!
All right, you guys ready?
Oh my God. I am so excited.
Again, I've been thinking about this for
at least a couple weeks.
I can't believe we are finally here.
So, let's take a look and see what's inside.
(screaming)
- Stop. I could have dropped my Croissant.
- Oh my gosh!
That's crazy!
All right, so, let's see what we have here.
Okay. So this is the trip of this whole thing.
I don't even know what it is guys.
Actually saw on his Insta store the other day
- [Brian] that he hatched this animal,
but I don't know what the genetics are.
He didn't actually put the genetics in here.
I don't even know.
Look at how incredible that snake looks.
It is absolutely ridiculous.
It's a boy.
I know that.
He said he was sending a boy powerhouse animal.
Ridiculous looking!
There is no doubt about that, but the problem is
I don't know what the genetics are behind this.
So, I'm gonna have to call Miguel up and ask him what it is?
Absolutely ridiculous looking snake!
This thing is an unbelievable ripper.
Oh my gosh!
So, now once I figure out what the genetics are,
I was obviously wrong about the Pie.
I thought it would maybe be something clown potentially.
Turns out it's something else.
Again, he posted this on his Insta story
and I was like wow! That thing was incredible!
So, let's go ahead. (phone ringing)
Call Miguel up and find out what the heck this snake is.
- What's up, dude?
- What's going on?
Dude, I love this snake,
but you didn't tell me what the genetics are?
I know you posted something on Instagram
but I don't know what it is.
So, what is the genetics man?
- Super Ghi, Mojave, Yellow Belly,
100% Het. Pied, 50% Het Desert Ghost.
- Ooh! The DG too, whoa! - Yeah.
- Here's the thing.
So, it looks a lot different from many other ones
that I've made like that.
So, I'm hoping that's the, you know
that DG is making it look that clean.
- Oh my gosh, dude.
Well, I love it.
I just wanted to make sure I knew the genetic, man.
Thank you so much, brother.
I appreciate you beyond belief, man.
- No worries, brother. Have a good one.
- All right, I'll talk to soon, man.
- Peace. - Thanks man! Bye!
So, basically everything I breed that animal to
will be a GHI because it's a super GHI
and then of course there's Mojave gene in there
and Yellow Belly gene in it's a hefer pie.
If I take it to a pie ball, ball Python
I could actually get some GHI Mojave,
yellow belly, pie ball, ball pythons.
Those would be an absolute ripper.
No doubt about it.
- Oh man.
If it was me I'd sent him a Normal.
- Of course I could take it to this Mojave Hefer pie too.
Could produce some Mojave pie stuff
but also everything would be GHI
could produce again more GHI Mojave pie would be cool.
Have that Yellow Belly gene in it now, unfortunately,
because there's a Mojave in that gene too.
I could produce some Blue eye Blue cystic.
Theoretically, could be Pie, Blue Eyed Blue Cystic.
Who do knows.
Regardless, there's a lot of things
that I could do with that animal.
Definitely a powerhouse when it comes to genetics.
A beautiful snake and just a complete surprise.
I had no idea what I was gonna get and I'm excited
that I could actually raise that guy up next year.
Hopefully it'll get big enough where we can actually
breed it and produce some amazing things.

- Man. I wish it was a Cobra.
- Keep in mind, this animal could have desert ghost in it.
- [Brian] Like Miguel said,
he's actually had this same genetics before,
but it looks a little different.
Which means there's a good chance
that there's desert ghost there.
Game changer for sure.
Cause, I don't have any desert ghost stuff in the collection
and I love it to death.
So, if this little monkey goes into an enclosure
and is gonna start getting raised up.
- [Brian] So, Lori here is the snake that Miguel sent.
- How much did you pay for this?
- [Brian] It was five grand
but it was a deal cause this thing is awesome.
- What is this?
- [Brian] This a super GHI Mojave, yellow belly Het Pie
possible Desert Ghost.
It's a banger animal.
(laughs)
- [Brian] It's pretty though, right?
- All right, so, it's it's okay.
- [Brian] Uh huh.
- It's okay.
I don't mind the gene.
I'm not really sure about the price tag on this.
- Right? - Uh? (laughs)
- Well, if you want you can call Miguel
and you can Complain to him.
- I think I might. (laughs) - Going too?
- Okay. Miguel, watch out Lori's coming for ya.
So there it is.
I have a new cool snake
with a bunch of really cool genetics
that add into the rotation.
Can't wait for us to get up to size, to breed.
That's amazing, by the way, I need a name for him.
Let me know in the comment.
