- Take a look at this world's largest blood python!
She is seven and a half feet long.
This is an albino blood python.
It's a short and fat python from Malaysia and Indonesia.
And later today,
I'm actually getting the largest one on record.
That's right, a world record size animal.
These guys typically don't get much more than
four to five foot long.
The one I'm getting is well over six foot long,
the biggest blood python in the world.
(dramatic music)
Speaking of pythons,
my pied golden child (upbeat music)
motley reticulated python, Neo,
is getting an upgrade today.
She is absolutely one of my favorite snakes.
Super good temperament, absolutely gorgeous.
And I'm so happy that she's finally getting an upgrade.
But first, we have some baby colubrids hatching.
Yes, still hatching season.
These are actually just little rat snakes,
which are really cool.
Little Texas rat snakes.
And you can see right here,
look at this little head right there!
These are actually leucistic Texas rats.
This whole clutch here is leucistic Texas rat.
Now there's potential for leucistic Texas rats
that our scaleless in this clutch too.
So we could get some scaleless white leucistic Texas rats.
But look at how cool these snakes are.
These are some of the snakes that I actually bred
when I was only like, 17 years old,
so they're really nostalgic to me,
and I love seeing 'em hatch.
- Attention! (military trumpet music)
Connie!
Meet the vlog.
Vlog, meet Connie.
Have you met Lucy, Connie? - Yes.
- Have you met her poopies, Connie?
- No, not her poopies.
No. - She has not met the poopies.
- You're gonna need this weapon.
This here is a high caliber, very deadly,
what's it called?
Pondovaco. - A Pondovac.
- See those big ol' floating logs?
- Yeah.
- Grab 'em with your hand, throw 'em in the trash!
- Can I glove my hand?
- [Mike] No!
- What if it gets under my nail?
- Bad with the glove 'cause the water gets in the glove,
and then you got (bleep) water attached to the glove.
- I didn't think about it like that.
- We'll protect you. Little bit.
You forgot the (indistinct).
Privates.
- Someone say privates?
- And then take a look at these right here,
scaleless corn snakes.
This is actually a scaleless crimson corn snake right here,
which is basically just a hypo Miami scaleless, right.
Absolutely beautiful right there.
And then look at these right here.
These are actually anerythristic scaleless corn snakes.
Probably my favorite of all the scaleless mutations
to be totally honest with you are the anerys
'cause they've got that silver beautiful look to 'em.
This one is super cool.
Look at the striping down it's back like that.
Wow! That thing is cool.
Scaleless corn snakes are absolutely wonderful.
It's always cool to be hatching stuff.
Not many eggs left,
and we'll be done hatching for the season.
And before long, all these snakes behind me
go into brumation.
- [Connie] Ah, mommy!
- [Mike] You didn't grab the turds out.
- I'm going to! - [Mike] So reach down.
- God, everyone's a critic.
- [Noah] Oh my God. (Connie gags)
- [Mike] She did it. What an idiot.
- Wait, why am I an idiot?
You told me to do it like this!
I said I wanted a glove! (Mike laughs)
- [Noah] You're not even trying to protect.
- [Mike] But she's not even moving.
- Yeah, if she nails me in the head,
there's nothing you're gonna do about that.
- [Mike] She's watching you.
- [Noah] You're doing really well
for having big old turds in your hand.
- [Connie] Thank you. It's not my first rodeo.
- [Mike] Excuse me? - What do you mean?
- Update on Tyson?
So we're gonna do a little feeding with him through here.
Yum.
So as you can see, obviously he's getting big.
We've had him for just over a year now.
Tripled in size, it feels like.
Even though it doesn't seem like it,
every day, sit here, do a little piece by piece.
Here you go, buddy.
There you go.
(Mike laughs)
He's so cute.
I can't wait till I can just like, give him a couple worms,
and he'll just sit there and eat 'em all.
But until then, oh, you missed.
There it is.
Just piece by piece.
Here you go, bud.
(phone rings)
- Hold? Okay, yeah, I'll be right down.
All right, so Jessica actually said
that we have to go downstairs
because there's actually something really cool
that is just hatching.
(Mike, Connie, and Noah screaming)
- I told you, you protect me.
- [Noah] She's mad! She's mad!
- This is like Harry Potter.
- [Noah] Kick it in there!
- Don't touch me with your poopy hands!
- I touched him with my poopy hands.
(vacuum whirring)
(Connie screams)
Michael, stop poking her there.
- [Mike] I'm not embarrassing the snake.
- I feel like we're really bonding.
- [Mike] Take a nap up here, man.
- Yo man, look at his legs.
- Ooh.
Is that a tapeworm?
- I've seen a lot of tapeworms.
That's a tapeworm, 100%.
100% - [Noah] Are you serious?
Look at it! - [Jay] I'm zooming in.
- [Noah] It's varicose veins.
- No, that's a tapeworm.
- That's why I eat so many cheeseburgers!
- And baby snakes aren't the only thing that's hatching.
What do we got, Jessica?
- A little leachie!
- Another little leachie.
I tell you what, this is how many leches have we got so far?
- So this'll be the fifth one.
- Fifth one, and of course, they come in pairs,
so this one should be hatching pretty soon too.
Look at this little guy.
Hey, little buddy. Welcome to the world!
Oh, it's beautiful, huh? - [Jessica] Yeah, it is!
- It's really a pretty one.
Isn't that amazing?
- [Jessica] So little!
- That's so cool.
I mean, it's been a dream of ours
for probably the last five years to produce leachies.
To finally produce 'em this year is absolutely incredible.
And we have, again, five hatched.
Sixth one should be hatching anytime,
and we still have a handful of eggs left.
And hey, we might even get some more eggs.
What do you think? - Yeah, I think we will.
- Oh my God, it's so cool.
Look at how cute it is!
So guys, after moving a few animals around
to free up some space,
we wanted to actually move Neo
into something like this size.
Lots of areas for it to climb, basking spots.
It's gonna be really cool.
Much bigger enclosure for sure.
That's gonna be amazing.
But it does need a little bit sprucing up,
so I'm gonna get Jessica to have it fixed up,
and then we'll move Neo in.
- Doesn't smell that much.
Connie's really good at this.
Way better than Mike.
- It's not poop soup!
- [Connie] I agree.
- [Noah] It was literally poop in water.
- I think it's time for me to take Michael's position.
- Wakey, wakey!
What's the matter?
If anyone wants Mike's position, go ahead, take it.
- Just sucked the poop off my hand.
- [Mike] Woo! (Mike laughs)
- [Noah] Let Dingo teach you.
- I'm not doing it.
- [Noah] Oh, she's ready.
- [Mike] Whoa. (Connie screams)
- [Noah] Connie. - Sorry.
Don't look at me! I'm sorry!
I love you. She's turning her head toward me.
- Gotta go that way. Time to fill her up!
- Interestingly enough,
we have some ball pythons that are hatching out.
And this is one of another mystery animals
that's bred just to a normal ball python.
And really, I don't see a lot of the mystery gene,
which we're probably gonna, by the way, call the Scooby gene
because you know, mystery, you know, machine. Anyways.
Scooby gene, I think is what we're gonna call it.
I don't really know if the cinnamons have it here.
I don't really think
that this is anything more than a pewter,
but this animal here is definitely very unusual looking.
So this is what I think is a pewter Scooby gene.
So this would be a pastel, a cinnamon, and a Scooby gene
because it certainly doesn't look like a normal
pewter by any stretch.
Very different looking snake.
So I think we're starting to see some of the expression
of the mystery genes and other things
other than pinstripe, which is really awesome.
But interestingly enough, at second look,
look at the pattern on the belly of this animal right here.
It almost looks like a yellow belly to some extent.
But the truth is there's no yellow belly
in any of the animals that we bred.
So it can't be a yellow belly.
I thought it was just a cinnamon,
but when you look at the sides and the belly,
no doubt that that mystery gene
seems to be expressing itself there too.
It's pretty cool that the Scooby gene
is expressing itself in the cinnamon as well.
Not only do we have the Scooby gene in pinstripes now,
now we have it in some other mutations,
which means we could do all kinds of things with it.
And take a look at this clutch that hatched out too.
Just a bunch of really cool stuff.
Looks like a super pastel pewter right here.
And this one actually looks like
a pewter banana right here.
So it's a pastel, it's a cinnamon, and it's a banana.
Love that gene, and then look at this.
I love super cinnys right here.
Basically, just all kind of blackish snakes.
No pattern whatsoever.
Unbelievably cool.
A bunch of cool babies.
I tell you what, we still have about 30, 40 clutches
of ball pythons to the hatch this year.
I'm gonna be so bummed when it's done.
But that being said, we're about ready to start breeding
in just about a month and a half.
- Why are you doing this to me?
What have I ever done to you?
No, no, no, no, no, Mike!
- [Mike] She will only strike you here.
- [Noah] Shakira, Shakira!
- [Mike] You can just set the hose in there.
Oh, I have to make some. - [Connie] I don't know.
I didn't-- - [Mike] I'm gonna have to--
- Okay, don't. Please don't.
- [Jay] How old are you? - How old am I?
- Not old enough to hold his bladder apparently.
- [Noah and Connie] Boogie woogie woogie.
- Good job, Connie! - Woo! Oh.
- We ain't touching those poop hands.
- I hate you guys.
- I'm so excited to see Neo get an upgraded cage.
Already outgrown the first cage we put her in,
so this is gonna be great for her.
Let's get started sprucing it up!
(upbeat music)
- And now for the fun part.
This enclosure is gonna be so cool.
Neo's gonna love it!
So much opportunity to climb around and grow.
Again, one day she's gonna be 15, 16 foot.
But for the next year or so,
she'll be able to stay in here easily
and just kind of explore herself.
And look at how cool she looks already.
She's actually just coming outta shed.
So she's gonna shed in the next couple days.
She's gonna look even better in here, but wow.
She is just so cool.
Having her in an enclosure like this
really shows off her beauty.
I can't wait to just sit back
and just watch her for a little bit
and see where she explores.
It's gonna be amazing.
Speaking of enclosures,
we're gonna get that enclosure cleaned up
and bring a new animal over from BHB.
And finally, my friends Des and Steven are here,
and they brought me this absolutely gorgeous snake.
I am so excited about this.
She's actually in shed right now.
Much beautifuller when she's outta shed.
But look at this beast of a snake.
Des, how long have you had this girl?
- My gosh, Brian.
I don't even remember.
Four or five years? - No.
Probably six years or so. - Six years?
- Been with us a while.
- Biggest blood python in the world, wouldn't you say?
- Yeah. - Amazing.
And look at how docile she is.
That's why I was so excited about it.
So when Des asked me was I interested in her,
I was like, are you kidding me?
I dreamt of owning this animal
because she is such an amazing animal ambassador.
Look at this snake right here!
Can you believe this?
This is a blood python.
They rarely get over four and a half or five foot.
This a absolute beast.
And to have it this docile too.
This is gonna be a great animal ambassador.
Guys, thank you so much for entrusting me to have this.
And by the way, for people that don't know,
Baby Kush, our crock monitor, is named after Steven Kush.
That's where the name came from.
- At least a 20 foot snake.
- Imagine the poops that thing is gonna lay.
- I didn't think about that.
- In actuality,
when I said I thought she was six and a half foot long,
and I thought that was the world's record,
turns out that this girl is seven and a half foot long.
I have had some giant snakes,
and I've had some amazing animal,
but this is the first world record snake
that I've ever owned, which is absolutely amazing.
Look at how beautiful she is.
Now that we have Neo's cage all cleaned up and ready to go,
I'm bringing over this animal, which is an absolute ripper.
It's actually a boa,
but it's an IMG boa bred to a leopard boa.
And look at how iridescent it is.
As these get older,
that IMG is an increasing melanin gene,
so it's gonna get blacker and blacker as it gets older.
Absolutely incredible now, but it's only gonna get better.
Let's go ahead and put this guy in here.
These guys will do a lot of climbing as well.
So I think that they'll perch quite a bit.
It's gonna enjoy the vertical side.
And again, this isn't long term.
This animal will one day gets six foot or so.
So again, this'll go in here
for maybe the next six months or something like that.
But I think it's gonna absolutely love it,
and it's a great addition to the Reptarium.
- Oh, Noah! - What?
No way, dude!
- Oh my--
- Is that what I think it is, dude?
- It smells like it. Smell it.
- Ah! - Oh my God!
We just almost got our (beep) rocked.
- Oh my goodness!
Stay still.
Okay, we're good. - All right.
- Maizey got really big!
- Put her back in though.
Should we ask somebody first why they--
All right, it's fine.
Just stick her in there. - There you go, Maizey.
God, that is ridiculous!
- Mike! I mean, God, what'd they feed Maizey?
Like a puppy? - I don't know.
- What do you think? Here, hold it.
- What's the reaction you want?
- What do you mean what's the reaction I want?
I just wanna know if you like it or not.
You wanna hold? Hold it. - No, I do not like it.
- You don't like it?
- I don't like blood pythons.
- Why? Well hold this one.
- No, I don't want to.
- Hold it around your neck.
Hold it around your neck.
I'll hold it around my neck.
That's good.
So just pet it. Oh!
Blood pythons are so weird 'cause they don't hang on.
They just flop around.
But isn't this thing cool?
Is this a beast or what?
- It is huge, and it's a blood python,
so that's like, two not good things to put together.
- No, this is, no, this one's super tame.
They've had it for years, and it's never bit anyone.
- Okay. - Are you excited?
Yeah? I knew you'd be excited.
I am beyond excited to have a world record blood python.
This thing is gonna be amazing,
and it'll beyond display here
in the next couple months at the Reptarium
after we go through a little bit of a quarantine process.
But this thing is amazing.
I love the fact that we have it now.
And that's the end of the video.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist
that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also, hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day, Reptile Army.
Remember--
- Yeah, this is good.
We don't really handle snakes too often around here.
