- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start your day is incredible.
I'm just admiring this beautiful gray-banded kingsnake.
And looking through a lot of the babies
that are now not so much babies
that are gonna breed next year.
And talking about breeding next year,
we have so many amazing animals.
Again, like this gray-band.
Believe it or not,
this is what you would see them
in West Texas look like in the wild.
I mean, it's crazy to think
that you would find the snake this beautiful
without a mutation, without captive breeding,
without anything.
Just fucking flip a rock and this thing will be here.
I am so excited for egg season next year,
which makes me really realize
how much I'm already missing collecting eggs up here
in the coliverd room.
And I tell you what, I sure do miss that song.
(muffled music)
But speaking of that,
what do you say we head down to the dungeon?
♪ Where python eggs are led ♪
♪ In the dungeon ♪
♪ The mighty dungeon ♪
♪ Where python eggs are laid ♪
♪ Python eggs and python eggs ♪
♪ And python eggs and python eggs ♪
And guess what,
this is really weird.
This says eggs.
I wonder what happened to Quinn on that one.
Well actually, should be pretty safe then.
There must not be any Illuminati in this.
(loud explosion)
But it is a clutch I was so excited about.
Of course this is a spiedbald python.
So it's a spider pied.
And for whatever reason, when you mix spider and pied
and you get the recessive mutation,
you getting all white snake with just the head pattern.
Right there, you can see it's got just the head pattern
and the rest of the body is pure white.
Now this was actually bred to an albino pied
so everything the clutch is gonna be pied.
We're gonna have spides and pieds.
So half the clutch on average
is going to be spied half for albino.
The other half of the clutch is gonna be pied,
that is also half for albino.
That is pretty exciting.
This is this girl's first year,
and I just love pulling pieds off clutches of eggs.
You guys know this is the first year I've ever done it
so I'm pretty excited every time I get a clutch.
There's no doubt about that.
We've got some eggs kind of tooling around here a little bit
so I'm gonna have to be careful.
And this mama is about to light me up.
It's okay girl, you did so good, mama.
And I'm gonna just go ahead and put this egg over here.
We'll candle this clutch just to make sure
she didn't roll them around.
Whenever there's loose eggs, we wanna do that.
That's right.
But nevertheless, huge eggs right now.
Just take a look at the size of these eggs.
I always say, I'd rather have a little bit smaller eggs
and more of them,
but nevertheless, we've got two, four, five eggs in there.
Again, every one of these is gonna be pied or spied.
They'll all be half for albino.
That's pretty freaking awesome.
I'm telling you what,
the year keeps getting better and better.
And even though we have a few more clutches going,
we call it a quits for 2020.
It's been a year to remember.
I hope that you guys have enjoyed it.
I know I have.
This clutch was awesome.
(upbeat music)
I'm sure there's not that many people that have a life
where they walk into their work,
they're surrounded by a bunch of really cool reptiles
and stuff like that.
And then they look and they have a big alligator over here.
What are you doing, allg?
Where you going, baby boy?
Are you gonna stay or are you gonna jump in?
You're gonna go back home?
Why don't you go back home?
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go back home.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way,
you got a little wet there, guys.
But you know what? He'll come back.
And now what he's gonna do is,
he's gonna try to show his dominance to me.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
All right, come here.
What are you doing?
Are you gonna show your dominance to me?
Come on, buddy.
You're okay.
And what will happen is, I'll just kind of,
play with him a little bit here.
He'll try to do his thing, whatever.
And then ultimately what's gonna happen
is he's gonna submit just like that.
And he's gonna kind of, sorry good guys.
Come on, buddy.
Come on, little monkey.
And when he goes underwater,
he's basically saying, alright, dad, you win.
And that's the thing with training these types of animals.
You have to be the alpha, right?
You can't let win the battle.
If he wins, he thinks he can continue to do that.
And you have to make sure he understands
you have to submit to me.
And now he just kind of goes under here
and he's kind of like, alright dad,
I'm sorry for being a bad boy.
In the meantime, I told you guys,
it's just awesome to have a pet alligator like Alg there.
The thing that's amazing about pieds,
of course, they are a recessive mutation.
But then you can breed them
into all kinds of other mutations
to produce incredible animals,
obviously, to dad to this clutch
was actually an albino piebald ball python.
Both the albino and the pied
are what they call recessive mutations.
Meaning that, when you breed them together,
you'll get normal looking babies
that are double heterozygous for both albino and pied.
And then Mendelian genetics would basically have
what they call a 93:31 ratio.
Meaning that every 16 babies on average
will come out albino and pied.
And then you'll get three albinos three pieds,
a bunch of hats and all that other stuff.
The point is that that's an average
over many, many generations.
But the fact is that piedbalds mixed
into animals, incredible.
Even just a normal pied, like my guy drama here,
is just really an incredible animal.
Single gene recessive mutation.
Of course, we call him drama
because you can see right here,
he's got a smiley face that's upside down
and right side up.
And so we just figured he's a trouble animal.
Absolutely wonderful.
I remember when he was a baby,
he's getting pretty big and will probably breed next year.
The fact is that smileys and emojis on pieds,
that do happen from time to time.
They don't pass along.
So unfortunately, even though he's got two smiles on him,
he's not gonna probably pass on those smiles,
unless it's just a random occurrence.
But you certainly can breed the other mutations
just like the albino pied I was talking about.
This is actually a pastel pied.
So the pastel is in complete dominate
and pieds are recessive.
And you can actually produce
just a little bit higher yellow,
a little bit more broken up pattern and stuff like that.
He's a little bit prettier than the normal pied.
And like I mentioned, there is a ton
of different piedbalds.
What did you do?
And he's a crazy little monkey right here.
This is actually a pin pied,
which is just absolutely incredible.
It's a pinstripe and he is ready to take a pop at me.
He's like, come on, get closer, I wanna bite you.
And we actually produce the very first pinpieds
back in the early 2000s.
Absolutely incredible animals.
Again, this is a low white pinpied.
So it's only got about 10 or 15%.
But I tell you what, these guys are really special to me.
Obviously, because we produced the first ones.
I definitely need to be producing
some more pied stuff for sure.
So basically, we've learned with pieds.
You can breed for colors
and put them into different mutations,
but you can't breed for the amount of white.
It's a completely random thing.
You can have 10% pied, you can have 90% pieds.
Well, actually, the one animal that you certainly can breed
for the amount of white is the spieds.
Actually cinese are usually this way as well.
For whatever reason, when you breed pieds to spider,
you'll only get a head pattern of a spider
and then the rest is pure white.
So they're all 90% white, and just a head cap of pattern.
So if you do breed a spied,
a spider pied into other mutations,
all you're gonna do is change the color of the head.
Which is pretty cool.
So I was excited that mama gave us
a good clutch of eggs today.
And listen, they're all gonna be pieds
because they're albino,
which is the double recessive bred to the spied.
Which is also recessive in an incomplete dominance.
So basically, half the clutch is gonna be spied head
for albino and the other half will be pied hat for albino.
It's gonna be a pretty awesome clutch to hatch
in just another 57 days.
(bright music)
The other day we hit the barney ball python.
Well, we have another clutch here
that was kind of almost all hatched out
or at least peeped out
when I looked at the incubator this morning.
But this again is a chocolate pinstripe
to that chocolate banana spinner,
the same one that produced the barney ball python.
We can see right here we have a little camel ball python,
which is the one that we're looking for with banana.
The barney ball minus the banana.
And then we have just a little spinner ball python
right here.
We still have a few eggs that have peeped up
but we don't know what's in them.
So let's just go ahead and see what's going on.
And again, these guys have all peeped out.
And they will probably all be climbed out really
probably by tomorrow to be totally honest with you.
But let's see what this first one is right here.
You know what?
This is actually another barney ball python.
This one is a little bit lighter than the last one,
but this is the barney ball python.
The banana camel ball python.
So wow, now we get to barney ball pythons
after it took us three years to not hit one.
So wow.
Wow, that thing is awesome.
When I looked at this clutch and I saw it,
I said, "oh, it doesn't look like
there's gonna be anything that spectacular."
And right off the rip, we have a barney ball.
Wow, who knows, maybe we'll have more.
Let's go with the egg number two.
It's hard to cut because of all these slits in here.
Gotta be really careful too to not hurt the snake.
And guess what guys, you got to be kidding me.
No, this is a banana chocolate spinner.
It's a banana chocolate spinner.
At first I was like,
is there gonna be another barney ball python?
But it's not.
It's a banana chocolate spinner, still absolutely amazing.
Two eggs to go.
Okay, so this is a banana chocolate spider ball python.
So banana chocolate spider ball python,
we actually hit one in both
of the last two clutches too.
So now we've hit it off.
One egg to go.
It doesn't look like it's a banana.
I can see through it real quick.
So let's just cut this egg and see what's in there.
And it looks like we just have a chocolate pinstripe here.
So all in all guys, amazing.
We hit another barney ball python.
Absolutely incredible.
When the other one crawls out, I'll show you.
It's incredible when they shed out and start growing.
It's gonna be amazing.
So there it is.
We still have one or two more barney clutches coming through
so that is pretty epic.
What do we have here?
Just a bunch of little corn snakes here.
We've got, a little albino corn, normal corn.
There's a little black corn down here
and a couple other little albino corn snakes
such as a bunch of really cool corn.
That are actually half for sunkis
and half for strawberry as well.
And now the snakes are getting out all over the place.
Come on you guys, stay in there.
Come on little monkeys.
Come on.
All right, I'm gonna set my camera down for one second
and get these guys in here.
All right.
As always, I make sure there's no heads caught.
Never want that to happen.
Bunch of cool little corn snake babies for sure.
Had a little creamsicle clutch right here.
This is the creamsicle corn
and these are the hat creamsicle corns.
Really pretty animals.
And again, I've mentioned before that their creamsicle
is that more orange rather than red corn snake, right?
And that orange actually came from long ago,
like 15 years ago, breeding a corn snake into an emery rat.
That's why these guys are a little bit more brownish
than say a normal corn that has more red in them.
And then the albinos of them actually turn into this,
which is the creamsicle version.
So we didn't get very many creamsicles out of this clutch
but we did get some beautiful hat creamsicles
that have that beautiful tan brown color to them.
Just a couple little babies in this clutch here.
This was actually a yellow belly to a pastel ivory.
So we just have a couple little ivory ball pythons here.
These are actually both pastel ivory ball pythons.
The pastel ivory are a little bit more faded
and the eye beads will have a little bit more
of a gray head than this.
Its only that these guys turn a little bit more white
than the normal ivories as well.
Again, they're very small clutches, two little babies.
But the odds are really good.
The fact that we produce two white babies in the egg,
that's pretty awesome.
Now the baby ball python clutch hatch.
But I tell you, it's been a crazy year, hasn't it?
It's been absolutely incredible.
This was actually Just a pinstripe bred
to an extreme gene, banana spider.
So we have all kinds of really cool animals here.
This is actually just a little banana extreme genes,
spider right here.
That's pretty cool.
And then we've got a couple spinners right here.
These are actually banana spinner extreme genes.
They look really, really good.
And then we just have a little banana pinstripe here.
It doesn't look like an extreme gene, just a normal banana.
But nevertheless, really cool.
And then just a little spinner and a normal
but really beautiful babies.
And again, what a year.
I tell, we're running out of space, guys.
I mean, we literally are like three quarters full
as far as our babies downstairs in the dungeon.
And we still have a lot of eggs to go.
I mean, I think we're only about halfway through hatching.
So we are gonna get some new stuff up on the website.
Hopefully some stuff sells so that we have enough space
to set all these babies up.
Regardless of what happens, we'll find the space.
But it's awesome when we're having a year
like we are this year.
Got another little package here.
It's pretty heavy.
Now we say that heavy stuff is usually good stuff
unless you got bricks in your backyard
that I had to carry out after I destroyed the backyard.
But that's a whole another story.
What do we have here?
We have a whole bunch of stuff.
Wow, look at this, this is crazy.
All right.
There's a big note says, "Hey Brian Laurie, the gang.
We hope this finds you well.
We're including some goodies
for all of you guys here at the shop.
Brian has the roller balls."
There's so much stuff in here guys.
This is crazy.
"Has an anxiety blend with some concept
to put in the pulse pants."
What?
"There's stuff for Laura, there's stuff for Bruce,
Noah, game to possibly play on Noah's channel."
That's awesome.
Beth has something here, Jay has something here,
a camel bracelet for Jay.
So thank you so much.
We hope all these find you well and it brightens your day.
If you could please open on the vlog,"
which I just did, "we appreciate that.
So thank you again for everything.
It's Misty and Wayne."
I appreciate you.
So it's pretty cool.
I always love producing pied stuff
and this is the first pieds I've ever produced.
That was absolutely incredible.
