- This happens to be an Enchi Het for Albino Ball Python.
Now, I'm bringing it to an albino clown.
We're gonna take you on a journey,
that is gonna last up to five months,
from the beginning of the breeding,
all the way till when she lays eggs,
right to when they hatch out.
We're gonna follow one egg through the entire process.
Let's hope she breeds and let's hope she produces.
The first thing we're gonna do is get a base ultrasound.
Now, I'm assuming she's not gonna have very big follicles.
You can see right there she's probably got like,
10 millimeter follicles at the best,
and that's what happens in the earliest part.
So, what's gonna happen now,
is we're gonna breed her as much as we possibly can,
we'll check back on her in about a month,
to see if she's got some follicle growth,
and hopefully she'll end up producing eggs here,
in another five, six months.
- So, how long does it take from breeding the ovulation?
- It can literally take anywhere from three to six months,
to go from where we're at now in the breeding season,
to actually ovulation.
So, it's been about a month and a half,
since we checked up on this girl.
She's been being bred quite frequently,
and I just wanna see where she's at follicle grow.
Sure enough she's grown to 13 millimeters.
Hopefully the next time we ultrasound here,
there'll be like 20 millimeters.
That's the next step and then of course,
ovulation happens at about 30 or 35 millimeters,
and as we're waiting for Ducky,
I'm gonna put these guys to the test.
They've been learning all about morphs,
so let's see if they could get these guys right.
You have to name these guys.
If you get more right than wrong you win,
more wrong than right there's a consequence.
You guys ready?
- Uh-huh. - Yeah.
What's that one? Male? - Yep.
- Stinger, bee, male, banana, Enchi, Bongo.
- Het Clown. - Het Clown.
- Can we start with the easy stuff?
- [Speaker] That's a Stinger Bee.
- It's definitely got spider in it.
It looks pretty basic.
Are you sure this is a Stinger Bee?
- It's definitely some-
- What are you saying this is?
- I agree. What's Enchi Spider?
- Bumblebee. - Bumblebee.
- It's a bumblebee. - That's what he is.
- Obviously some type of banana.
- Whoa, it's really dark,
which makes me think that it has Enchi.
- Maybe it's a Bongo. - It's Bongo.
- Bongo Banana. (bell dings)
- Bongo Banana. - Ding, ding, ding.
- Okay, this is a really, really interesting one.
- So, this is the same pattern.
- Basically so we know it's some sort of Bee again.
- Bongo Bee. - Bongo Bee.
- Bongo Bubble. - I already said that.
- What if it's a Bongo- - What's a stinger?
- A Pastel? - No, it's a she.
- So, now what are we waiting for?
- Where we are right now,
we're looking at probably about two weeks from ovulation.
I didn't really wanna bore you guys too much,
but over the last three, three and a half months,
this girl has been breeding a ton.
Her follicles have been growing,
and I think she may actually grab it now,
so I'm just gonna do a quick scan to see where she's at.
Last time I scanned her she was about 20 millimeters.
Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna go ahead, freeze it.
This is the total egg right here, this big egg,
and I can go ahead and even measure this to some extent.
It's actually bigger than this screen itself.
50 millimeters so she is definitely ovulated,
then it's 50 days from ovulation to actually getting an egg,
and she finally laid the Enchi Het Albino,
Red Het albino Clown.
Hoo-hoo doggy, I tell you what, I am excited about this.
I was sure hoping she was gonna have fertile eggs,
so I was thinking we've been spending all this time,
following her journey,
from the very beginning of the breeding season,
all the way till now.
I was thinking if she had bad eggs,
we'd really be in trouble here,
but it looks like an absolutely gorgeous clutch of eggs.
I do see one infertile egg right here.
Gonna just peel this off the bottom,
but the rest look really good.
We've got two, four, six, seven eggs to choose from,
but we're only gonna choose one egg,
and I'm gonna take, let's see,
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo,
catch a tiger by it's toe.
This one here.
I know that didn't work out at all.
So, this one is the egg that we're gonna do it,
and this is the thing,
I am gonna actually call this Ducky,
and we're gonna take you on the journey,
of how this one is going to hatch, right?
So, we've already taken you on the journey of breeding,
now to lay, now we're actually gonna candle the egg today,
and we're gonna candle it every single week,
to show you the development of that animal in the egg,
throughout the entire process and then in 57 days,
we're gonna actually cut Ducky see what's in there.
Nevertheless, Ducky is now here.
We have 57 days, lets go ahead and candle it.
So, here is Ducky, you can just barely see,
see when I shake like that,
you can see that little dot right there?
That is actually the baby snake right there.
That is Ducky,
so we'll see how it grows over the coming weeks.
- The Banana, guys, the Banana.
- Oh, whoa. - Okay, next.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- Next nothing, you haven't gotten it.
- Banana Bee-- - Banana Bongo Bee.
- One more thing. - Banana Bongo Bee Enchi.
- Yes. - Yes.
- So, this one's a Banana Clown.
- No, Banana-- - Banana Enchi.
- Just a Banana. - That's just a Banana?
- Where's the-- - It's simple guys, simple.
- Okay, that's a Banana. - This one's just a spider,
and then this one is also...
Oh, my god, it doesn't have eyes.
- What? - It has no eyes.
- Dude.
- This is a Bongo- - Did you know that?
- Spider. - I did not know that.
- it's Bongo though. - It is Bongo.
- Pastel Bongo. - Bongo Pastel
- Oh, yeah, I could tell from the pastel on the side.
- I always guess that. - Okay, put him back.
I'm gonna give that an L, I don't even know-
- What? - What?
- We got so many right. - Let me know in the comments,
if you guys think they won that one or lost that one.
- We won that one.
- And finally Ducky has made it,
one week in through incubation.
Still looks really good,
it's been absorbing some moisture which is really good,
so let's go ahead and candle,
and see if there's been any growth.
And here we go. (suspenseful music)
Let's see where Ducky is at here.
You know, you're starting,
to see a much bigger network of veins.
See how you don't see the real dot anymore?
The entire top of the egg is a bubble now,
which is this air pocket.
You can't really see the snake,
but you could see that the veins are much bigger,
but now again instead of a little air bubble,
the entire top of the egg is an air bubble,
which is pretty interesting.
(record scratching) We'll check back next week.
- This one, we've got female Enchi pinstripe,
male Banana Enchi Bongo Clown.
- So, let's go slow. - So, let's go super simple.
- That's a pastel.
- Pastel. - Pastel.
- This is a pastel Clown.
- No, I didn't think it was a Clown.
- No, that's definitely a Clown.
- This is definitely Clown.
This is definitely Clown. This is a pastel Clown.
- I'll agree with that. - Thank you.
(Brian exclaiming) - What?
- [Brian] It's a pastel Enchi Bongo.
- Clown. - Clown.
(all talking indistinctly)
- Look at the Het on that thing,
you've got a mixed up gene, retained sperm.
- Spider lemon blast. - Good job.
- Lesser blast. - Nope.
- Lesser lemon blast. - Nope.
- Pastel.
- But it's got the- - Lemon blast.
- Pinstripe. - Pinstripe.
- That's a part of the lemon blast. (laughs)
- My bad.
- it's a Enchi. - Banana.
- Did you know what he just said?
- I just, he just said that I was right.
- Come on man.
- Week two and Ducky is still doing good.
What do you say that we see what it looks like inside.
Always excited to see what the difference is.
Again, looks pretty similar to last week.
The snake actually develops at the very bottom,
so you're starting to see a darker ridge.

Again, that air sack is about the same as it was last week,
but the network of veins has really increased,
and the dark spot where the snake is below,
is getting darker and darker.
- These are the-- - These are exactly the same.
- Banana, Enchi, lemon blast.
- Wait, I think this one's- - No. (scoffs)
- That sounds wrong. - It's not that far off.
- [All] Banana Enchi. - And one more.
- Banana, Enchi, pinstripe, Bongo.
- Correct. - Wow, that's a lot of genes.
- So that was, uh... (cymbals crashing)
- Enchi. - Bongo.
- Banana. - Yes, that's it.
- That's it? (all laughs)
- Bongo, banana.
This one's Bongo, banana, Enchi.
- Nope, that's pastel, I mean Pinstripe.
That's Pinstripe Bongo. - Pinstripe banana Bongo.
- Pinstripe banana Enchi. - Yes.
Keep letting me know guys.
I'm helping them out more than I thought I was going to.
I'm not sure what it is.
- I don't really think you are.
- Don't help us out in this next one.
- Another week is passed and Ducky is still around,
so let's go ahead and candle it.
Let's see how things have changed in the last week.
Again, seeing even thicker veins this week,
there's no doubt about it, look at that,
and, again, the whole bottom of the egg,
filled up with what the snake is actually becoming.
So, look at the networks of veins just building all over.
Not only do you have those really thick veins now,
but now you have all the little veins,
that are actually popping off the center.
That's actually feeding all the nutrients,
down to Ducky as it's growing.
Time to get Ducky back in the incubator,
we'll check up next week.
The thing that's really exciting is now I'm starting,
to think like what mutation will it actually be?
Will it be an Enchi Albino?
Will it be an Enchi? Will it be an albino? A Het?
The fact is most snake eggs that don't make it,
typically go in the first three weeks,
so the fact that Ducky is still around,
tells me now I can start dreaming what it might be.
Let me know in the comments what you think,
is gonna hatch outta Ducky later in this fall.
- Female Pin, male Pin Calico.
Yellow belly. - This has yellow belly in it.
- Wow. - Pastel.
- That is a beautiful snake though.
- There's no pastel- - What is this?
This is Calico. - 100% Calico.
(all speaking indistinctly)
- Calico yellow belly and this is pin.
- Yeah, there's like a lot of lemon blast.
- There's a lot of going on here.
- No, there's a lot of pinstripe.
- (laughs) There's not even one lemon blast.
- This is a lot of pinstripe, that's pinstripe,
so this is a calico pinstripe. - It's the same thing.
- This is just a pinstripe. - Pinstripe yellow belly.
- Probably, yeah. - This is just a pinstripe.
- No. - Yellow belly,
- Yellow belly. - Oh, yellow belly.
- This is pinstripe yellow belly Calico.
- I'll give it to those guys.
They were pretty close on this one,
but let me know what you guys think.
Ducky, week four, still doing well.
You can see little Ducky right over here.
Let's go ahead and candle it,
and, again, just see what difference it is.
Every week it seems like the veins are getting bigger.
We're about halfway through right now.
Here we go. (suspenseful music)
Let's see if there's anything has changed.
Oh, and it's kind of different right now, right?
So, definitely has changed from week three to week four,
a lot more veins and I noticed that the veins,
are kind of tailing in different directions,
than it seemed like last time.
If you see the bottom here,
that's the actual where the snake is growing.
Hopefully as the next couple weeks goes by,
we'll start to see the snake fill up some of this area,
but look at all the network of veins in Ducky right now.
- Female albino, male albino pys.
- Boom, this is easy. - These are easy.
- These are albino pys.
- Where? Not a py, there's no pys.
- It's albino Clown. - No, there's no Clowns.
- [Cameraman] It's you who's the clown here, bro.
- They're all just albino. - Is there a super 'bino?
- Okay, they got that one right.
I still not sure,
I think I'm gonna give them a consequence anyway.
Continue to update you guys week five with Ducky.
You can see they're still a very plump egg.
They'll start to desiccate or dent in a little bit,
in about two weeks so let's go ahead candle Ducky,
see how it's moving along.
Okay, week five. (suspenseful music)
Look at how things have changed so much.
Remember those big thick veins that were across?
They've now kind of moved more towards the sides,
which is interesting,
and then you can see the shadow down below, right down here.
That's actually where the snake is,
which is really interesting.
It's crazy this is the first time I've actually candled,
through the entire process.
It's crazy to see how it's changed.
Week six of Ducky,
meaning we only have about a week and a half,
maybe two weeks till they actually hatch.
We can cut we can finally find out what Ducky is,
so let's go ahead and continue the candling,
see what's changed from last week.
And here we go. (suspenseful music)
Not too much has changed.
I see a little bit more bigger veins,
kind of popping through and stuff like that.
You could see them all along here.
Those were kind of not there last week,
so the veins are moving around a little bit.
You see down at the bottom,
there's definitely more snake down there.
The snake will eventually fill a lot more of the egg,
over the next week or so but I'll tell you,
it's cool to see only a week and a half or so,
and we get to meet who Ducky is.
All right, here's the deal, guys.
You have to carry Jay around the entire reptarium.
If he hits the ground at any point,
you're spending 12 hours in with Lucy.
(record scratching)
- Can you hold my hand maybe?
- Oh my God. - You guys are slipping me.
He's gonna drop me I'm telling you right now.
- Your lotion on your arm is...
(both laughing)
- Wait, wait, wait, I'm gonna drop him.
- Wait, wait, I got my foot under you.
- This is horrible.
- Why didn't we start this way?
- You're so slippery.
- Dude, you gotta stop with the lotion.
- I'm not wearing lotion right now.
- Ah, my hand's slipping.
- Don't put your head back. - Sorry. Sorry.
I think I saved it. - This is ridiculous.
No, you can't grab my butt.
- Bend your arm. - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Wait, you gotta get me up higher, Mike.
Higher in your crevice.
(all speaking indistinctly)
- We're now on week seven,
meaning that it's only about a week away before we cut Ducky
and find out what the mutation is and see what's going on.
You can see they're still very plump,
they haven't started to desiccate,
or lose that kind of moisture yet,
so let's go ahead candle Ducky for the last time.
Next time we see Ducky,
we're gonna be cutting and seeing what he actually is.
Last egg shine here. (suspenseful music)
Lots and lots of veins for sure.
You can see kind of on the bottom here,
there's a tremendous amount of actual snake,
taking up the bottom, really thick veins.
Not a huge change from last week which is interesting,
but definitely Ducky is ready.
Literally less than a week away from being able,
to cut into this egg and see what's going on.
You would think that maybe,
he would be filling up more of the egg at this point,
but the fact is that he is not.
I don't know why I'm calling him a he,
he may be a she
- Oh, Jesus. - Oh.
- Don't worry about it.
- You could have knocked your arm.
(speaking indistinctly)
- Come on. - This is so stupid.
I'm out of breath.
Oh, no.
Who put those blue boulders there?
Wait, we need a flipping rest.
Give me a rest, give me a rest.
- Wait, we should probably go like this way, Noah.
- Yeah, okay, Jesus Lord Almighty.
Huh, that's right there.
- Does that count? - Oh, door dash.
I'm done, put it in his belly.
- I thought I was light. Thank you.
- Okay, let's finish the loop, Mike.
- Dude, it smells so good. - Mike, you're dropping.
- And down.
- Boom. - Boom.
- I don't know you guys are a little bit further ahead.
12 hours in with Lucy.
- I'm not doing it. (upbeat music)
- So, the journey from the very beginning,
all the way to egg cutting is finally here.
Now, ironically enough,
some of Ducky's clutch already started hatching.
Now, what we can get out of this clutch is,
Enchi double Het albino Clowns,
we can get albino Enchis Het Clown,
we get albinos that are Het for Clowns.
So, this first one here is actually an albino Enchi
that is Het for Clown,
and we have a few other eggs that have pipped out,
but Ducky has not pipped.
So, we're gonna get the first view of what Ducky is.
Let's go through the rest of the clutch first.
This first egg that I'm gonna cut is a normal Enchi,
that is double Het for Albino Clown.
Now, Enchi albino Clowns,
are gonna be absolutely ridiculous as well,
so I'm excited about that.
Egg number two here is already pipped as well,
so we just cut the top off and find out what's in the egg.
Another beautiful Enchi that is double Het for albino Clown.
Next egg up has not pipped,
and like I said we'll leave Ducky for the end.
Really hoping it's an Albino Enchi Het Clown,
because I'm gonna raise Ducky up no matter what,
and it would be a perfect animal to raise up.
Looks like we have a little albino here.
This is an albino Enchi, it's just an albino,
that is Het for Clown ball python.
So, so far odds have been pretty good.
We've got another egg here that has not pipped as well,
so let's see what's inside this one.
Always exciting, I cannot wait,
we've been kind of following,
this Ducky saga for a long time.
Another Enchi that's double Het for Albino Clown.
Okay, this egg is actually pipped right here,
so we can tell it's definitely an albino,
but I'm not sure if it's an albino or an albino Clown yet,
so let's go ahead and cut it and see what we've got here,
and this is definitely an albino Enchi,
that is Het for Clown ball python.
So far we've had two albino Enchis Het for Clown,
one albino Het for Clown,
and three Enchis double Het for albino Clown,
we've got two eggs to go the last one being Ducky.
Here we go, what do we got going on?
Boy, I hope Ducky is an albino Enchi,
I'd be so excited if she was,
or he, whichever it is.
Looks like just a normal albino Het Clown,
and the moment of truth guys,
all that time that we spent,
from breeding to seeing follicle growth,
to seeing egg laying, handling it every single week,
the moment of truth is here.
What is Ducky going to be?
Of course, what we'll do,
is we'll actually separate Ducky's egg into its own thing,
so that when it hatches out we won't get it confused, right?
Let's see what Ducky is.
Come on Ducky.
What do we got here?
No matter what I'm keeping Ducky so it doesn't matter.
Oh, it's not albino.
It looks like it is an Enchi,
that is double Het for albino Clown.
So, Ducky isn't the albino Enchi I was hoping for,
but it still is an Enchi double Het for albino Clown.
Hopefully it'll be a female,
we'll raise it up and we breed it back,
and we'll get some Enchi albino Clowns regardless.
Ducky is gonna be out of the egg here,
in the next couple days.
It's been a long journey which is now over.
