(bright music)
- Good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog!
I hope the start of your day is absolutely amazing,
as for me, I have another sand boa momma.
Hey momma, what's going on?
What's going on, don't bite me, don't bite me,
don't bite me, you're okay.
Well, it looks like she definitely had some babies,
I'm not 100% sure what's goin' on.
We're gonna take this water out right here,
we're gonna kinda just kinda search her.
Oh, see, a couple are movin' around right now!
Yeah, I love it.
I'm not sure how many she's gonna have,
but that's one little normal baby so far.
Oh and look at that-
- Look at that.
- An anerythristic animal, so she is a het
anerythristic bred to an anerythristic,
so we have one anery, one normal.
We'll see how many, looks like we got
another little crawler over here, we got two!
Look at his little head poking up over here.
Got another anery over here, got another little,
oh another anery, so that's three anyerythristics
and one normal so far.
Woah, did you see her?
She almost got me.
Okay momma, it's okay, it's okay.
Don't, don't, don't, don't.
It's all right baby.
It's okay momma, there's enough normal over here, nice.
Big babies too!
They look really nice, see how many she's gonna have.
Let's see here, I don't see even more
moving around right now.
I can't believe she only had, four or five of them.
Oh here's another one.
Another anerythristic right there.
Let's see, is that it?
Is that the end of them?
It looks like that might be it.
I'm going to go through one more time,
just kinda look around because these old sand boas
definitely can hide a lot,
So yep, that looks like that's it, guys.
It's not a big litter at all, looks like we got,
one, two, three, four anerythristics, and two normal.
Look how feisty these little monkeys are,
they are so funny.
Look, they're just biting away like crazy.
They are so absolutely adorable.
Obviously we've had a pretty good sand boa year,
it's pretty cool to have a litter.
They'll have anywhere from small litters like this,
five or six babies, all the way up to 30 babies,
believe it or not, for big females.
But momma looks good, looks like she passed all her babies,
everything looks fantastic.
Hey, I tell you that is an absolutely amazing way,
to start my day.
- Eric.
- What's up, dude?
- I got some bad news, bud.
- What's wrong?
- Remember that bird I bought you?
- Yeah, PJ's, I remember. - [Brian] Do you remember it?
- I remember.
- [Brian] What happened to it?
- Yeah what happened, what's wrong, it fine this morning.
- Calm down bud, I don't want you to overreact,
or anything, but, this is it now.
- Peaches!
It's.. what the hell did you do?
- Well what happened was I hear there was a little,
incident at your house with your brother,
- There was.
- [Brian] And your brother wanted retribution.
- How much did he pay you,
I would've paid you double.
- What actually, obviously this is not Peaches,
Peaches is still doing good, right?
- Really good, really good.
- [Brian] But what- - It has a cockatoo beak!
- I know.
- [Brian] Looks just like a Peaches.
- It does.
- [Brian] So listen what happened with Peaches recently?
- Dude so funny, my brothers over at my house,
we had a couple of cocktails in us, you know.
My brother loves little Peaches,
he goes to set him down.
Peaches didn't wanna be sat down, he latches on his finger.
I don't know, he was like a 90 year old lady on asprin.
Just blood spraying everywhere.
(all laughing)
Yeah, it was so funny.
Ew, I'm like don't throw it, don't throw it,
'cause I thought he was just gonna chunk it across the room.
I've never seen so much blood in my life,
there's blood all over everything.
Peaches was covered in blood
from his wing all the way to here.
Like his finger, like wiped it,
we have the ugliest little bloody bird now.
- [Brian] My gosh well, we brought you another bird.
- Dude, that's awesome, I love that.
- [Brian] This one won't bite you, okay?
- It'll remind you of Peaches while your working.
- It is the best kind of bird, the one that's demonic,
I don't know.
- It is the best kind of bird, it doesn't make any noise.
- Yeah, oh my God. - [Brian] Exactly.
- [Brian] Good luck with you, what are you going to name it?
(crickets chirping)
- [Noah] Apples.
- Apples, Apples, yeah, there we go!
(all laughing)
- Literally two clutches of ball pythons left
to cut this entire year, this clutch then there's not
another clutch for about three weeks.
So for those of you guys that love egg cutting,
I'm sorry it's coming to an end.
For those of you guys who are sick of it,
then you'll be happy.
We'll have other content.
Regardless, this is actually a Black Pewter Cypress
and it's bred to a Yellowbelly female.
So basically the Black Pewter Cypress
is a pastel, it's a Black Pewter,
and it's a Cypress, and then of course, the Yellowbelly.
So who knows what were going to get.
Let's go ahead and jump into this first egg.
Might be a little hard to tell in the egg,
a few of these animals, so I'm going to
do my absolute best, to kind of fill you in.
And right off the rip it looks like we have a Black Pewter
Yellowbelly Cypress, maybe?
I think this might be the all gene animal.
You can really see the Black Pewter,
you can really see the Yellowbelly, the Cypress is really
hard to tell in the egg, I'm not gonna to lie,
until they crawl out.
But it's a possibility 'cause it looks really clean,
that Cypress sheen really cleans things up,
often times you have more striping in it,
I see a little striping on this guy.
Looks real clean so bare minimum Black Pewter Yellowbelly,
possibly a Black Pewter Yellowbelly Cypress
would be the all gene animal.
It's gonna to be a ripper no matter what.
So let's go ahead and move into egg number two here,
and these guys are literally ready to come out anytime now.
One egg even actually even pipped and
oh that's a pretty snake right there,
that looks like its probably just a
Black Pewter Cypress without the Yellowbelly gene in it.
Again you can see that Cypress 'cause
that big striping down, the real clean color,
but the Yellowbelly kinda jumbles things up
a little bit, like that first animal.
So that definitely isn't a Yellowbelly
but still a Black Pewter possible Cypress,
which is pretty darn awesome.
What do we have here?
Oh, This looks like just a Black pastel Yellow Belly,
which is really pretty,
I mean that Black pastel and Yellowbelly mix
really well together, lot of cool flaming up the sides,
and stuff like that, so that's absolutely cool, too.
All right, and this is a really cool combination,
especially for people who like the silver or dark snakes.
This is a really cool combo.
What do we have here?
Oh, looks like we just have a pastel, possibly a
Pastel Yellow Belly, but doesn't
look like there's any Cypress or Black Pastel in it.
So that's kind of a little bummer but that's okay,
like I said, can't win everything.
And I tell you I'm going to miss egg cutting,
we have one more clutch but
it's not for like a few weeks away, so.
Okay, this is, oh yeah, this is definitely
a Black Pewter Yellowbelly Cypress for sure.
You can see how clean it is.
That beautiful stripe.
This one is a hundred percent for sure.
The first one, not a hundred percent for sure,
probably ninety percent, this ones a hundred percent,
all gene animal, Black Pewter Yellowbelly Cypress.
Beautiful animal!
That thing is a ripper.
This egg actually, already pipped a little bit,
so that's why I know that this clutch was ready to go.
Oh this is a pretty snake man,
Wow!
- Wow.
- That thing is gorgeous.
So what this is here, wow, I tell you what,
I wasn't expecting this one to look so darn good,
this is beautiful.
This is actually a Black Pastel Yellowbelly Cypress,
so this one doesn't have the pastel in it
and I'm gonna to be honest with you guys,
I really like this animal,
I mean this is a ripper!
Just those oranges, I wasn't expecting that.
So I can't wait till that one comes out of the egg,
Not the all gene animal, but maybe the prettiest
animal in the whole clutch.
I'm not a hundred percent sure.
One last egg and then we're going to have a few week break
from cutting eggs, and then only one more clutch.
Let's see what we have here.
And it looks like another Black Pastel, possible Cypress,
doesn't look like there's Yellowbelly in it at all.
So that's okay though, still some really pretty animals.
So all in all a pretty cool clutch, lots of silvers,
lots of dark morphs, got the one pastel, you know,
stuff like that.
This is cool, these will be out in two
or three days and I'll give you guys the update.
Still just a couple more tickets available
for The Crawl Movie Night,
here this Saturday at the Reptarium,
Savannah from Gatorland is coming up.
We're gonna to do a premiere of The Crawl movie,
that really awesome alligator movie.
I'm gonna to put a link in the description,
I'm gonna pin a comment.
If you guys wanna come out and hangout,
nine o'clock, after we close the zoo
and just have a small group of people, watch a movie,
hangout and have a great time, pizza and stuff like that,
go ahead and check that link out and go ahead,
and reserve those last couple tickets.
Found a couple boxes that Lori just brought back
from the P.O. box.
This one says, of course, says open on the vlog.
This is all duct-taped up, did you ever see?
- I did not notice that when I grabbed it.
- It's from Timens, Ontario, and it's from Mel.
So Mel thank you, let's go ahead and see if we can't
open this up and see what's going on in here.
- Oh yes, the best ways to cut, kids,
is right to the chest.
- Right to the chest.
- That's the safest.
- Always do this when you're cutting,
cut towards you, a hundred percent of the time.
(laughing)
There's a little styrofoam box, so that's good.
We have arrived,
This is gonna be a lot to read on the vlog.
I'll read, as much as I can.
- Wow. (laughs)
- "Brian, I sent you a little homemade clay ball python.
"If you look closely at the pattern it says BHB.
"I love watching your vlogs every day and
"I appreciate your work to educate us through the vlogs.
"I have a tongue twister challenge for you,
"Anyone who would like to do this challenge."
Oh my gosh,
"Say this three times,
"as fast as you can, it's easy,
"you gotta say it without looking once and say it."
I don't know, you wanna try this?
"The big black bear ate the big black bug."
The big black bear ate the big black bug.
The big back bear ate the big black bug.
The big black bear ate the big black bug.
- Okay.
- You say it now.
- No.
(laughing)
- Jay say it.
- [Jay] The big black bear ate the big black bug
the big black bear ate the big black bug.
The big black bear ate the big black bug.
(Lori laughs)
- Okay moving on, there's also a bunch of stuff.
And by the way Jacob and Crowley,
comment on our videos all the time, so thank you.
Let me look at the actual thing, oh my god.
We're talking and we already forgot.
So first off we got, you know I used to love these
when I was kids.
- Chocolate coins.
- The chocolate coins!
- Yeah cause you were rich and it was candy
- Oh my gosh
- Canada.
Okay, so.
- Yeah this is from Canada.
- Okay, there we go.
Oh no, did you see what it is?
It's a loony,
- Oh it's a loony!
For you guys that don't know about Canada,
a loony is a- - Is it chocolate, let me see?
- I just wanted to make sure he didn't send us
actual money, but no.
- No no, so loonies are actually dollars in Canada, coins,
and toonies are two dollars.
So, and then there's some maple leaf hard candy,
that is awesome and I think this is the snake.
That is handmade, ah, it's really beautiful.
And it should say, oh, there it is right there,
see, BHB, that is super cute.
So thank you so much and appreciate you always
commenting on the vlogs.
So you're great.
- I also appreciate what he was wrapped it in.
So that's a homemade dishcloth, cause I make those as well,
and you can always use another one, so thank you.
- So there you go, where's that knife.
- Here you hold this.
- [Jay] (Australian accent) Call that a knife?
- Call that a knife?
This is a knife.
- You got to do the that one so I get to do this one.
- Ah, don't point that knife at me!
- Again, I'm cutting towards myself, right?
Is that the way to do it?
(laughter)
- I taught her well, I taught her well.
This one is from, where is this one from?
Vermont, oh it says "maple syrup and honey" on it.
- Oh I wasn't gonna give it away,
there was a little clue on the thing.
- Little syrup and honey on it.
- "Dear Brian and family, really enjoy watching your videos.
"I am a person who didn't like snakes at all,
"but watching you handling the snakes changed my mind."
- That's awesome, thank you.
- We love hearing that.
"I'm thinking about maybe holding a snake one day."
- You should, you should do that.
- "I hope you will enjoy a taste of Vermont."
- Well thank you so much.
And I was impressed that you were able to read that
without your glasses.
Oh, first off,
- Oh god.
Yeah, taste of Vermont.
- There's some meat sticks.
- Some sausages he just loves that.
- Meat sticks is great.
This is, oh this looks good too,
I love honey, I'm a huge honey fan.
- That's honey?
- Yeah, it's honey.
It's probably very organic, right?
We get Canadian maple syrup a lot,
so this is Vermont maple syrup,
this is dark color robust taste.
- Maybe that's a good tasting
for Noah's channel or something.
- Oh yeah, maybe we'll do that on Noah's channel,
- A syrup taste off? - A syrup taste, yeah.
Vermont vs. Canada's.
Who else does maple syrup?
- I don't know, we could find some other ones.
'Cause you know what goes good, with syrup?
Waffles!
- In the morning, I'm making waffles!
(laughter)
- Yeah, waffles are good.
If you guys are maple syrup people, send us some.
(laughter)
- We'll do a little maple syrup thing.
We're gonna have a sugar high for weeks.
So okay, well thank you this is awesome,
I'm going to have one of these right now.
Chameleons are absolutely amazing.
Of course this is Raul here,
and a lot of people that come into the Reptarium
always ask like "how do they change colors?"
You know, "How fast can they change colors?"
The truth is, they really don't change colors.
Basically what happens is they have something
called chromatophores,
which is the same thing you can actually see with,
an iridescent snake like Night Fury,
or Brazilian Rainbow, that rainbow sheen.
The difference is that these can actually
articulate the chromatophores to kind of have the light,
of the sun hit them differently.
And that's how they change the color of their hues.
An animal like Raul can actually go from
like a of a green color to kinda a yellow color,
to even more of a brown but
it's always going to have the same exact pigment,
it's just going to be different hues,
and again that's just the way the chromatophore
actually will reflect, and they can actually
shift them to were they can look a little bit different.
So actually chameleons don't change color,
they just kinda change the hue of the same color.
You can look and see in this short clip
that Raul went from more of a brownish color
to a more green color just within the last 30 seconds.
We've got the last crested gecko babies
that hatched this year, just hatched out.
These guys are pretty too.
- Yeah they are.
- [Brian] What is the,
do you know what these guys actually are?
- They're probably extreme harlequins.
- [Brian] Extreme harlequins.
- Yeah I'm still learning their morphs,
they're a little weird.
(both laughing)
- [Brian] Well they're absolutely gorgeous.
And we don't produce a lot of crested geckos but
it's cool that we had some.
I'm not sure if we'll raise these guys up
or put them on the website, I'm not 100% sure but-
- I have one more we're gonna raise up,
it's super pretty, from the last clutch that hatched.
- [Brian] Oh okay, cool.
- It's a pinstripe, it's really nice.
- Nice, well cool maybe we'll hang on to these for
a little while, let 'em get a little bit of color and size
and then decide if we're going to raise the up
and all that other good stuff.
But nevertheless, the the last rested geckos for the year.
So this is the one you wanted to keep?
- [Brunette Female] Yeah.
- Oh my gosh, it is, it's absolutely adorable.
- It's a dalmatian, too, it's got spots.
- So pretty, that is gorgeous!
Kind of a bummer this is coming down to the last clutches
of the year to cut but I absolutely enjoy it.
Not to mention some awesome new sand boas.
This has been an good year for those guys too,
