- You guys may ask yourself why all our alligators
are in this tub right here.
And I tell ya, they are definitely feisty little monkeys.
Well, the truth is we had a little bit of an incident.
You can see that we are missing a pane of glass here.
And what happens is sometimes the glass gets stuck
and it's kinda hard to push.
And unfortunately, when we're pushing,
it fell down and it broke.
So, obviously now the alligators
were getting out of the cage.
We're like, "Oh my gosh!"
So, we scrambled, we put 'em in here.
So, today I'm gonna have to probably just do
some makeshift thing 'cause it's probably gonna
take me a day or two to actually replace the glass here.
Gonna have to get some like plexiglass
or some kind of acrylic thing.
I think I might have something downstairs, cut something
in here, just to get the alligators back in here.
You know, I'm surprised that over a year being here
that this hasn't happened or any other cages
haven't happened where we've had this issue.
But this is the very time.
Thankfully no one got hurt, no animals got hurt
and we'll get it fixed in a minute here.
So, first thing I'm gonna do is measure this up,
see if I have some plastic downstairs.
Cut that up so I can get the alligators back in.
Then I'm gonna try to find some other glass.
Well, unfortunately this was the piece I was hoping
that was gonna be big enough to actually repair it.
Obviously, it's probably big enough this way,
but it's not big enough this way.
So, I'm gonna probably have to run to the store
and actually grab some plexiglass.
And this isn't gonna be like long term, just to keep them
in the cage until the glass comes 'cause it usually takes
2 or 3 days for the glass to get cut and show up.
We're gonna look around and see if there's
anything else here but I think this was my only hope.
Let me take a look, I could probably
use this if it's big enough.
Let's see.
Nah, it's just not quite big enough.
I'll just keep looking around, if I can't find
anything else, I'm gonna have to head to the store.
- [Bearded Man] What you got, look at that.
- [Beth] Look at her little red and green ribbon.
- [Bearded Man] That is really cute.
- [Mary] Pretty cute.
- [Bearded Man] Should we go clean Speedy?
- [Mary] Yeah, let's do it.
- [Bearded Man] All right!
It's bath time, guys.
This little tortoise is disgusting right now.
At least once a week, we gotta bathe this guy,
we soak him, wash him down.
He poops and pees wherever he wants, he'll walk in it,
he'll fall asleep in it.
The bottom of his shell gets a nice little layer, so,
we gotta keep him clean, you know?
Okay, as you can see here,
I have my beautiful assistant, Mary.
Hello Mary, thank you of course, always.
At least a two person job
'cause it's really hard, he's pretty heavy.
You can't really hold him and do everything
at the same time safely.
So, what I do first is I'll have Mary
come with the old scraper.
Preferably over a trashcan.
I mean this is, oh man.
We'll get him scraped off, we'll get him soaked,
we'll scrub him down.
We usually have some green little Scotch Brite,
we'll kinda scrub him down, make sure he's 100 percent clean
and get him on his little tortoise way.
He loves his baths, though.
Don't let him fool you.
He sits in there, he doesn't even wanna
come out half the time.
I swear, he just kinda soaks in his own filth.
Probably been about 4 days now.
So, as you can tell, it's getting pretty hairy.
- [Adam] Well, here's the funny thing is that like,
I always wanted to soak on a tortoise.
- Yeah, no!
- [Adam] I told my mom, I'm like you should get us--
- Yeah!
- [Adam] I honestly, I'm changing my mind.
- I think she's down south, is she down in Florida?
- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You know what, more power to her 'cause you can keep these
outside, you just leave 'em out there, let it rain a little.
- [Adam] But inside, they'll tear your house up.
I've heard people tell me they'll rip the drywall
straight outta your house.
- They definitely, definitely will, man.
I would not, I always wanted one too and then
I met little Speed.
(relaxing music)
Okay, he's squeaky clean.
Another 15, 20 minutes,
we'll probably have to soak him again.
We'll get him gently set down here.
You all right?
And he's off.
Beefy little guy, real beautiful site there.
But we'll get us kinda cleaned up here.
I just can't wait for the summer,
we bust the old power washer out, you know?
Oh my god!
What did you do?
- I touched it.
- We're married, damn it.
- [Brian] What did you do?
- I was like, "Help me rinse off the bottom of Speedy."
And I lifted him up and it flapped over
and it got both of us.
- [Brian] His wee-wee, you touched his wee-wee?
- [Bearded Man] Yeah, I got wee-wee water on me.
- Mary! - Flapped, it was like--
Mary touched another wee-wee?
- Yeah.
Yeah!
Adam, Adam, we're outta here.
- Look how absolutely adorable these guys,
and this is a feisty little monkey.
I mean he's just a little biter.
Of course, this is African black house snake
and I love house snakes.
There's all kinds, there's auroras,
there's the black ones, there's brown ones.
There's really all kinds and now there's,
oh my gosh, look at this dude.
He is crazy!
This thing has got such an attitude.
And now there's a bunch of color mutations, as well.
So, I'm looking forward to getting into more of the cool
house snake morphs and different localities and stuff
like that in the coming years because they really are cool.
And honestly, usually they're very,
very docile but these are the black ones.
They're almost like the Mexican black kingsnakes.
But in an African house farm--
Whoo!
What are you doing, you little monkey?
This thing is crazy as can be but it's really cool.
We got six of these a while ago.
And they are doing so absolutely well, crushing food,
I mean just a cool little thing.
I cannot believe how insane this little dude is.
Unbelievable, super happy to be working with these
but you can definitely ensure yourself that I'm gonna be
getting more house snakes in the coming months.
Just a little snake update today for a few things.
This is actually the Applegate San Diego Gopher Snakes
that we got a while back.
Unbelievably beautiful gopher snakes.
I mean these are definitely one of my favorites
when it comes to the albinos, for sure.
As they get older, this kinda purplish stuff turns
really white, really high contrast, really cool snakes.
You know, they'll get four, four and a half foot,
so a relatively sizable colubrid.
But not too big, ya know,
they're not as big as say, bullsnakes
or something like that, which is in the same kinda genus.
But absolutely incredible.
As these guys get older, they're gonna get
just better and better.
I cannot wait till they're adults.
And hopefully we can produce some babies.
Super excited about gargoyles.
You guys know I am into the gargoyle, geckos
and we finally got some eggs from some
of the really good ones.
- So, this is one of our Dracula line,
they're both the Dracula line.
- [Brian] Dracula lines.
- Deadpool one hasn't given us anything yet.
She's still super chunky.
- [Brian] Nice.
- But this is one we produced last year,
the male that we've got it to.
It's a red base. - Right.
And then this is the female-- - Yep.
- [Brian] Oh my God, that's awesome.
- She's beautiful.
This is the male for the other pairing.
- [Brian] Got ya.
So, it's just cool to finally have some that like really
red lined beautiful animals to finally produce eggs.
I mean, it's super cool.
Oh my Gosh.
- And then we got eggs from her.
- [Brian] She got eggs from that one?
- Yes, I'm excited about this pair.
- [Brian] Holy cow, that one is gorgeous.
- I wish we had a male as beautiful as her
but maybe next year.
- That is awesome.
So, it's cool that we finally
have some eggs from those lines.
You said Deadpool hopefully is coming up.
So, with any luck we'll get some
Deadpool stuff here pretty soon.
Exciting, we've got another,
a lot of other cool geckos too, right?
- Yeah, we've got a lot of stuff from Tikki's actually,
that we're growing out, that'll be really nice next year .
And then some other stuff we're line breeding
that I'm super excited about.
- [Brian] Awesome, can't wait for babies!
- Just so slimy, I'm like "Ah!"
I can still feel it.
- I think the tortoise is actually
the one that should be making--
- Exactly.
You inappropriately touched the tortoise.
- Why was it out?
- Well.
- Why'd you reach--
(group laughing)
Maybe Speedy feels violated at this point.
- Okay, Beth, we're gonna have to write Mary up.
(group laughing)
Yes, she's gonna get care-fronted there,
just put it right on her.
(group laughing)
- How was it Mary?
She said it was better than anything
she felt at home before.
- We're done.
- Feisty snakes today!
Ooh!
We got these little baby black-headed pythons just recently.
This is from the same friend of mine
that actually produced the black-heads before.
It's Snap, Crackle and Pop.
And, of course, Crispy.
So, we got 3 of these little babies right now.
I think I'm gonna hang onto one of them
'cause they're absolutely incredible.
Maybe I'll hang onto this feisty little monkey here
'cause I like his attitude.
And we'll probably have 1 or 2 of these up on the website.
So, for the first time ever, we'll actually
have a black-headed python available at BHB.
'Cause we've never bred these before and I've never bought
any babies but these guys are unbelievable again,
and Australian python.
They'll get about you know 8 foot or so, pretty sizable
but not much bigger than say a Coke can
or something like that thickness.
But really cool animals, super cool.
As a matter of fact, one of the new big displays over
at the new expansion at The Reptarium,
might be a black-headed python display.
I'm pretty excited about that
but aren't they absolutely cute?
And this one here definitely has a little attitude.
Come on little monkey.
It's good to be back at BHB after the travels
and the holiday and all that stuff.
So, I get a chance to just kinda look at a bunch of cool
snakes and I'm like, "Oh my God, it's so cool."
And, of course, these are some little baby Dumeril's boas.
I love 'em.
You guys know that we have a couple over at The Reptarium.
But these are fresh babies,
only about a month and a half old.
Another animal that we haven't put up on the website yet
but will go up on the website.
I mean Dumeril's boas are incredible.
Again, about the size of a common boa,
roughly in that sense.
I think that their temperament is just absolutely amazing.
They're such unique animals and again the pattern
and coloring on these guys are absolutely breathtaking.
So, a cool boa that you don't see around too often.
This guy's turned out so amazing, this is actually
a Flamingo Pastel Jungle Motley boa that
a buddy of mine gave to us a while back.
And it's just looking so incredible.
I've always loved the Motley boas,
they're an incomplete dominant animal.
So, there's a super-farm.
A lot of times the super-farms are a little bit messed up
to be totally honest with you.
But the fact that you can breed this in the first
generation, you get Motley, same thing with the Jungle,
so this is a powerhouse male for sure.
It's got some really incredible genetics behind it.
And just take a look at that tail pattern and oh my gosh,
that thing is so cool.
I love boas.
This one might one day go over to The Reptarium
and boas are what we're gonna use mainly
for the snake massage over there.
And so, I need a couple cool boas.
So, maybe in a year or so, this guy will have a job
over at The Reptarium.
- [Brian] What are you guys talking about?
- Dude, I can't, don't let him--
- [Brian] What happened?
- So, I had a nightmare, you know I like to watch
like demonic stuff, right?
- [Brian] Like scary stuff?
- Yeah, so I was on YouTube.
- Right before you go to bed?
- Yeah, well, usually-- - No wonder why you--
- I know, it's weird though. - You're summoning the demons.
- But listen, I watching Sam and Colby.
- [Brian] Oh, Sam and Colby, friends of mine.
- And they were at this like demon castle.
I'll just call it that.
And anyway, it was really scary and I go to bed
right after I watch that and then I had this dream, dude.
"No, oh my God, it's the face!"
And then you run out, right?
You're running and you're like,
"It's the face, it's the face!"
- [Brian] The face?
- And I'm like-- - What face?
- I know, exactly, and I'm like,
"What's the face, what's that mean, what's that mean?"
And then you get in your bed and you're like
all curled up like, "I'm not getting out of here."
- This is scaring me.
- I'm like, "What is the face, dad?"
And you're like, "It's the face,
"it's been following me my whole life."
And I'm like, "What the heck does that even mean?"
So, I'm laying in the bed next to you
'cause I'm like, "I'm not getting outta here."
- So, I talked Lori into going to the store
'cause it's a busy day for me over here.
She got us a new piece of plastic, it's a little bit
flexible, I'm a little worried about them
pushing their way out.
But again, we'll kinda secure it up, at least to
just keep 'em in there for the next day or two.
And then we'll get the glass and put it in.
So, now I just have to cut it up, hopefully it fits
and hopefully we can get the gators back in their enclosure.
(upbeat music)
(saw buzzing)
All cut up, let's hope my measurements are right.
This is where I get nervous, you know what they say, right?
Measure once and cut twice.
(upbeat music)
Let's hope they don't wanna get out because,
but it'll work, it should keep 'em in there, at least.
But definitely a little sketchy.
At least we'll have a way to keep 'em inside.
- [Beared Man] Looks good though.
- I mean it'll work, it'll at least keep 'em in,
ya know, so.
All right, let's put the gators back.
I'm sure they'll be happy, they do not like being in here,
that's for sure.
Hey, little monkeys!
Oh my God, how do you even go about it?
There's like literally not one area that you can get where
you're not putting yourself in jeopardy.
These guys are getting so big.
There you go, guys, there ya go.
Come on, there ya go.
In the water babies, there ya go.
Hi guys, there ya go, sweetheart.
Ah.
There ya go.
They're actually very well behaved.
I mean look at how incredible they are, wow!
I tell ya what, it's amazing and you know, it was funny
because it was next week will be one year
since we got these guys.
I was looking back on some video stuff and it was literally,
I think it was January 4th, if I'm not mistaken, that we
actually received the shipment of these guys
and put 'em in these tanks.
So, one year they went from little tiny babies,
you know, 55, 60 grams.
All the way to these ones.
Here's Tildy, she still is so small.
She's so cute, this is what I wouldn't mind hanging onto.
This one I usually take to all the birthday parties
and stuff like that 'cause she's super well behaved.
And she's just smaller and kinda cute,
so I'll put her up here.
And there we go.
Now the gator tank fixed for the time being.
Again, we'll get some glass cut.
No one would ever know that this is plexiglass,
so it worked out really well.
It's definitely scary.
Okay, we might put a piece of tape on that.
(group laughing)
- All right what's this last one,
this one's a little bit bigger
- Oh, did someone send you shoes?
- I'm thinking this--
- Oh! - What?
- Rad. - What the heck?
- White, more white--
- Bye, bye diet, Brian.
- Dude, I'm not joking, we have so much candy.
- Somebody likes Brian.
(couple laughing)
- I'm sorry, after the first of the year, no more.
- After he puts on that 20 pounds.
- So, now I have no choice but to eat
all of this candy before the first.
- Yeah, guess what, it's all white chocolate
and I hate white chocolate.
- Yeah.
- Except for this one, I'll try.
- Well, thank you guys because you're amazing.
I love that you guys know I love white chocolate,
thank you so much.
Keep sending candy, we love it.
- We're gonna have diabetes.
- I know
- Send some diabetes pills with that and we'll do,
we'll un-box some more stuff tomorrow because we have
a whole bunch more stuff that you guys sent me.
So, thank you guys, I appreciate it, love you guys.
