(slow hip hop music)
- Good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
Seems like it's been forever since I've done an unboxing,
so what do you say we just jump into it?
These are some amazing snakes.
I know that it is probably one of the most popular snakes
that we have whenever we get these in stock.
We do produce some of these as well,
but we always buy a bunch of them regardless
because there's just so much going on
and people want these things so badly.
The thing that I've said in the past
has really driven me for love ball pythons
as much as I have.
So we're gonna go ahead and see what we got going on here.
All right, let's see.
Of course, zip ties, my nemesis.
You guys know how much I go crazy when people use zip ties,
I don't know why.
I don't know, yeah, everyone's got pet peeves, right?
That's just one of my pet peeves.
Because some time I'm gonna cut my finger off
trying to get this stupid zip tie off.
All right, you guys excited
to see what I've got in these bags?
(hoots)
Doggy, I love what I'm seeing right now.
Gotta get all this stuff out of here.
Let's get this back, back, back, back, back.
Gosh, tell you what, look at what we have here, everybody.
(hoots)
That's right, a handful of absolute beauty!
Of course, piebald ball pythons.
We got a whole bunch of them.
Like I've mentioned so many times before,
when you get a shipment of piebalds,
every single one is the same.
So we have 25 pieds in the shipment.
But the truth is that every single one
is unique to itself.
So we're just gonna go ahead and look through
as many of them as we can.
Maybe we'll find some smileys,
we'll see a lot of variety.
All that type of stuff.
So let's go ahead and just look at each one of them here.
All right, this is a really nice one here.
This is probably a good 50%.
You know, I love 50% in pieds,
especially when they're big, white blotches,
then normal, then big blotches.
This one, the majority of the pattern is on the side,
but still absolutely gorgeous
and again, I'm gonna really be looking for some unusual
like smiley faces and stuff like this.
This one has a crazy, wild pattern.
But no smiley faces, wait, wait, wait!
Oh my gosh, are you kidding me right now?
The second one that I saw has a smiley face.
Oh my gosh.
Last year, all the smiley face that we either hatched
or bought were males, and guess what?
This is a male too.
Another male smiley pied.
Let's just keep raising up smiley pieds.
I don't know, maybe, but that's so cute!
Maybe we'll put this one on the website.
I'm not a 100% sure.
Here we go, another lots of variety.
Again, this is kind of a beautiful classic pied right here,
where it's just got nice white blotching,
really orange patterning.
Absolutely gorgeous, oh my God.
I love pieball ball pythons.
I've told the story about way back in the 80s
when I saw a picture of the first pieballs,
that's the thing that really got me excited
about ball pythons.
This one has an incredible pattern right here.
Wow, that thing is unbelievable.
So far, these are amazing.
This is a cute, little one right here.
Look at all the little dot dashes
on the sides and stuff like that.
Wow, I tell you what,
there'll never be a time where I won't be excited
about opening up pieball ball pythons.
These guys are so fresh that they haven't even shed yet.
Some of these have to just be days old,
which is great.
I like getting stuff when it's really fresh,
because we can set it up, kinda get it on our regimen,
let it shed out and then get it going right away.
I'll tell you what,
a lot of these pieds on this particular one
has some really interesting patterns for some reason.
I mean, take a look at that pattern right there.
That is really peculiar.
It's not a smiley face,
well it's almost kind of almost like a,.
it's an emoji in a way.
You know, it's got a couple eyes, a straight smile.
There's a lot of really cool patterns.
Anyways, regardless,
let's see I think we just got one or two more
in this bag and then we can move onto the next bag.
This one looks like it's probably a week or two old,
probably has already eaten
'cause it's got a little bit of size to it.
Absolutely gorgeous.
So let's see, was that the?
Nope, one little more baby in here
and then we can move onto number two.
This is, again, a fresh baby right here.
Gosh, just look at the colors and patterns on pieds.
I tell you what, out of all the snakes out there,
still pieds have to be one of the most shocking
and most amazing of all of the ball pythons.
Bag number two!
Hopefully, avoidance of cutting my finger off.
(groans)
I know you guys are gonna say,
"Why don't you just get some scissors or get a clipper?"
No, that'd be the smart thing to do,
but why do the smart thing
when you can do the unsmart thing, right?
So anyway, make sure we don't have snakes in my bags here.
All right, here we go.
There it is guys, another beautiful bag of pieballs.
Oh my gosh, just take a look at these right here.
(hoots)
Doggy, I mean, that is absolutely incredible.
This one looks like it has kind of more of mid-white pied,
so I'm wondering if the bags are kinda packed
in the sense that there's some like mid-white
to low-white to high-white and something like that.
Not 100% sure yet, but still very beautiful animals.
I mean, just come on, just take a look at that.
I tell you what, unbelievable.
Take a look at this one right here.
This one caught my eye as soon as I opened up.
Now, Kelsey loves these ones here
that have like maybe about 10 or 20% white
and then the rest has that really cool,
interesting pattern right there.
This one is awesome too.
I'm excited that we already got one smiley.
Who know, maybe we'll get more,
but I tell you what.
I'm not gonna be disappointed regardless.
Wow, look at just, gosh, it's unbelievable.
You know, I bought one of the first pieds
that was ever sold, believe it or not.
Then, ultimately we produced the second pieds in captivity
after Pete Kahl proved them out the year earlier.
So it was pretty exciting
when I hatched my very first pieds.
Take a look at this one.
This one hardly has any white on it,
but the pattern is just absolutely stunning.
That's one of things that's really interesting about pieds,
right, is the fact that even though there's not white,
it jumbles up the other more normal pattern
and that's what makes them so absolutely interesting.
On to the last bag.
(groans)
All right guys, I made it through with all of my fingers.
That in itself is a feat.
Let's see what we have here.
Now this one definitely looks like
there's more high-white pieds in this one right here.
Look at that, inside that bag right there.
(hoot)
Man, I tell you what, these are some beauties.
Again, looks like these have some more high-white pieds.
As a matter of fact, there's a couple in here
that are unbelievably rippers.
Let's see what we got going on.
We'll just go ahead take these all out,
start looking at.
Yeah, okay, that's definitely what it was.
There must have been a lower white pied bag,
a mid pied white bag, which was the first bag we opened,
and then the high-white bag is this bag here.
Because this one has a lot
of unbelievable high-white pieds.
Let me know down in the comments what do you guys,
what do you prefer?
Do you prefer the high-white ones
or do you prefer the kinda low-white ones, mid-white ones?
Like I said, if it was me, I'd say mid-white
is probably the ones that I'm the most interested in.
But don't get me wrong, they're absolutely all amazing.
But look at some of these colors and patterns on these guys.
Still no more smileys yet.
We only have a few more ball pythons to go
and we might just have only hit one smiley.
But with that being said,
I'm still super excited about that.
Let's see here.
Gosh, look at this one, I mean, wow!
Then these two here.
This one, of course, shed.
This is probably a good 80%.
Now this is what I was talking about
when I said I like the big splotches of white
then a normal pattern, then big splotch of white,
normal pattern.
That to me, when it comes to a high-white animal,
is probably the nicest pied that I could.
I mean, if I was gonna make a pieball ball python,
this would probably be the one
to be totally honest with you.
So that is absolutely stunning.
Just a few more to look at
and we conclude our unboxing for the day.
Look at that weird, really dark pattern
on the back right there.
Just kind of a circle.
Man, I tell you what, that is a screamer right there.
All right, beautiful again.
Then last one, I think it's the last one.
Nope, two more to go.
Let's see, we're gonna look real quick.
All right, just again, beautiful high-whites.
It's kinda cool that he separated them like that, right?
Now, of course, I jumbled them all back up.
But that doesn't matter.
We'll go ahead, get these guys set up.
Like I said, some of these haven't even shed yet.
So they'll shed over the next four, five days
and then we can get some food into them
and then we'll ultimately put them up on the website.
Looks like just one smiley pied, which is all right.
But take (shouts).
But take a look at all
of these pied ball pythons right here.
I mean, oh my gosh.
That is a tub of unbelievable beauty.
So it was awesome to unbox something again.
As a matter of fact, I have some more unboxing tomorrow.
I've got another shipment of two more things coming in.
Not ball pythons,
so I'm excited to share that with you guys.
But again, let me know in the comments
what you like the best and I'm gonna go ahead
and get these things set up.
Definitely a little bit nervous.
I showed you guys the other day
that Ben and Jerry had actually injured themselves
on one of the things inside.
Just kinda fighting,
trying to get past it with the two heads.
So today I'm gonna offer them food.
I tell you what, if they eat,
I know that they're gonna be fine.
If they don't eat, I'm gonna be really stressed out.
We've been putting peroxide ointment
on everything like that,
but feeding is gonna be the determining thing
whether or not they're gonna be okay.
Gonna eat, yep!
Ben ate, Ben ate!!
Okay, good, if I can get Jerry to eat now,
I'll feel really, really good.
Come on buddy, come on, come on.
Come on, take it.
Take it buddy.
Come one, please eat, please eat, please eat.
Jerry doesn't seem to be interested
and the injury is actually on Jerry's side
so I'm definitely stressed about this.
I'm gonna just keep on offering and hope that he'll take it.
Come on, Jerry, please?
All right guys, so I'm not really sure what this means.
I'm very happy that Ben is eating
because if they're getting nutrients,
they're gonna be sharing nutrients and that's a good thing.
I'm definitely a little stressed
that Jerry doesn't seem to be interested.
I'm gonna keep trying a little bit,
but listen guys, maybe it just needs to heal a little bit.
But at least Ben is eating.
I'm gonna keep on trying.
Come on, Jerry, one more time.
You want?
He shows no interest at all.
Come on buddy.
Okay guys, it's a no-go with Jerry.
I mean, okay.
I don't know what this means to be totally honest with you.
But hey, at least Ben is eating.
We're gonna keep a close eye on him.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Again, I'd be a lot more concerned
if neither one of them wanted to eat.
So I'm just gonna go ahead
and keep trying some different things.
We'll keep you guys updated.
I'm not panicking yet,
but I'm definitely a little bit bummed out
that Jerry didn't eat.
I know a lot of you guys have been asking
about the Reptile Tycoon reptile breeding game
that we've been working on.
The closed beta got pushed off for a while
'cause we changed a whole bunch of things around.
I think we made it really so much better.
So listen, I am gonna put a link in the description
to the Instagram that you can follow.
But I am happy to say that closed beta launches
on the 27th of this month.
That's right, the 27th of July, closed beta launches.
We'll probably go in between four
and six weeks of closed beta.
I think we have about a thousand of you already
that are gonna be playing.
We have a whole bunch of things going on.
I'll do a video kinda explaining this.
I am super happy with the way this is.
That's the way you can like cyberly breed
and grow a collection of reptiles.
I think it's gonna be amazing.
Again, I will keep you guys updated.
Follow that link to the Instagram.
You can keep up to date with that too.
Again, Reptile Tycoon is coming.
After the four to six weeks of beta,
we go ahead and open it up
and it's up to you guys.
You can play it one IOS or Android.
It is gonna be absolutely amazing.
