- This is where the inside goes out right here,
where the heart is actually beating.
And then I can't even tell if it has a head,
or where its head actually is.
I have no idea what is going on in that mess right there.
In all my years,
I've never seen anything this severe, for sure.
Hey, good morning, everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start your day is absolutely incredible.
We have a busy day, we got some egg-cutting,
we've got baby snakes,
we've got a bunch of stuff going on here at the Reptarium
and over at BHP,
so let's say we just push our problems aside,
have a great time together, and jump right into it.
(upbeat music)
You guys ready for another egg-cutting?
I know there's been a lot this year,
but it's always exciting.
This is actually a Pinstripe female bred
to a Silver Streak Bamboo Woma.
So basically you have a Pastel, you have a Black Pastel,
you have a Bamboo, you have a Woma,
and then, of course, the female being a Pinstripe.
Lots of combinations, 10 eggs in this clutch,
let's get cutting.
And who knows what kind of combinations
we may get in this clutch,
but there could be all kinds of really neat stuff
and right off the rip, what?
Hang on a second, just can't see it really well.
What is going on with this one here?
What in the heck?
I'm trying to figure this out.
I don't even know what I'm looking at right now.
I don't know if I'm looking at a messed up snake,
or yeah, that's weird.
I mean, this is like, I don't,
I literally don't know what that is.
That is like, I think that, to be honest with you guys,
I think this is like a mangled mess of a snake.
Like, sometimes you just get deformed snakes, you know?
And let's hope the rest of the clutch is all right,
'cause this looks like,
it looks like something you'd find inside an oyster
or something like that.
It doesn't look like what I'd normally see
inside of a snake egg.
So let's move on,
hopefully we'll have better luck with the second egg.
That one doesn't look too good.
Let's do the second egg.
Yeah, it's pretty rare that I cut a snake egg,
and literally don't even know what I'm looking at.
Like, is this even a snake?
So what we have in the second egg
is actually just a Lemon Blast,
which is just a Pastel and a Pinstripe.
Doesn't look like there's anything else going on in there,
so it looks like just a two-gene animal.
Egg number three.
All right, but at least that was a good snake.
Just obviously that first animal
was just one of those deformities that happens,
and that's just part of the game.
Weirdly enough, second egg is a Lemon Blast, as well.
So two Lemon Blasts right in a row, bang, bang.
On egg number four,
let's start getting some of the combinations,
please, here, guys.
It's not that I'm ever disappointed
in producing Lemon Blasts,
because they're always a very popular snake,
and very, very pretty snakes, too.
Ooh, we have a nice silvery snake right here.
This actually looks like probably
a Pastel, Black Pastel Woma.
Doesn't look like there's Bamboo,
and it doesn't look like there's Pinstripe,
but that is really a beautiful silvery snake.
Next egg, here, actually it's pipped out already.
It already did half the work,
so let's go ahead and cut and see what's in here.
See what monkey was really anxious.
This is the first egg that pipped out in this clutch
and just a Pastel.
So, so far we haven't been hitting very many good odds
on this clutch to be honest with you,
but we have two, four, five eggs to go.
I really wanna peruse some Bamboo stuff,
I wanna peruse some Silver Streak, Bamboo stuff,
let's get it going.
Let's get this next egg.
Come on, give me some combos here, people, come on.
Another Lemon Blast, that is weird,
three Lemon Blasts, guys.
So four eggs to go, let's,
I think these next four eggs are gonna be spectacular.
What do you say we find out?
Been one of those years, right?
Where sometimes you produce some stuff, and you're like,
"Oh my God, it's so amazing."
This one is actually just a, it looks like a,
to be honest with you, it looks like a Pastel Woma.
Really, really nice one, though.
I mean, that's a beautiful, beautiful animal,
but it doesn't look like there's any other genes.
So it looks like a Pastel and a Woma,
really reduced, beautiful.
Not a Bamboo, not a Silver Streak,
not any of those combos.
I think we could get a five-bang animal in this,
and I don't think I've gotten past
the three-gene animal yet, so let's go, three more eggs.
Here we go.
Let's see, come on,
give me something crazy here, people.
Ah, there we are, hoo hoo.
Boy, did we hit it right there.
Wow.
Yeah, okay,
so I'm not really a 100% sure what it is.
If I were gonna guess, I think it's the all-gene animal.
I think it's a Pastel, I think as a Black Pastel,
I think it's a Pinstripe, I think it's a Woma,
and I think it's a Bamboo, I think it's everything.
The only thing that might not be in here
is the Black Pastel.
But holy moly,
that is the snake I was dreaming about when we had this.
So it took us off quite a few eggs to get there,
but we hit it.
Either the all-gene animal, or close to the all-gene animal,
and we still have two eggs to go, here we go.
What do we have?
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Gosh, mow I want more of that.
And we just have actually a Black Pewter, which is fine,
a Pastel and a Black Pastel mix.
That's a beautiful snake, too.
So a lot of two-gene animals.
And listen, this clutch right here,
it's kind of how the season goes, right?
You just need one egg to make it all worthwhile, right?
It's kind of like golf, right?
You may hit golf balls out into the woods all day
and you hit that one shot onto the fairway,
and you wanna go back golfing,
this is what keeps me going.
One egg to go, let's finish with a bang.
Alright, gosh, I can't stop looking at that snake.
It is so beautiful.
And let's see what we've got here.
And at the end we just got another little Lemon Blast,
it looks like, something on that line.
But nevertheless,
we did hit one ridiculously beautiful animal.
When it comes out,
I'll get a better understanding of if it's Black Pastel,
all-gene or not.
Nevertheless, beautiful, incredible, great snake,
that one snake definitely made this clutch all worth it.
Okay guys, tonight, 5:00 Eastern Standard Time,
you're gonna wanna go ahead
and check out the podcast, a special podcast.
I have Reverend Clinton coming in.
It's a guy that has been doing exorcisms for over 20 years.
So we have a special podcast tonight,
5:00 Eastern Standard Time,
where I am gonna hear all kinds
of crazy stories about exorcisms.
If you guys are interested in it,
link in the description, checking in, check it out.
It's gonna be pretty amazing.
Again, you won't wanna miss this one.
So I'm taking a closer look at this snake and the deformity,
and you can literally see its heart is on the outside.
I have no idea what's going on in here,
but you can see its heart
is beating outside its body right now.
I would think we're gonna take a closer look
and get this out of the egg.
Unfortunately, this one's probably not gonna make it,
that's for sure.
So let's go ahead and see what's inside this egg,
and wow, this thing is crazy.
So I gotta be honest,
we have no choice but to investigate
what in the world is going on in here.
What mess are we about to find in this egg.
Oh, in all my years,
have never seen a heart beating outside of a snake before.
And what, it, there's such a mess in here.
It's hard to even know what the snake is.
I mean, we see this big, old, massive yolk right here,
where it didn't absorb and then you see kind of a pattern.
It definitely looks like right here,
you can see it's a Pinstripe, and over here.
And then this is where the inside goes out right here,
where the heart is actually beating.
And then I can't even tell if it has a head,
or where its head actually is.
I have no idea what is going on in that mess right there.
In all my years.
I've never seen anything this severe, for sure.
I mean, I feel terrible for this little thing.
I mean, it's lived this long,
and, obviously, is still alive, being like this.
And, obviously, we'll definitely call the vet up
and see if we can get this humanely euthanized pretty quick,
because it can't be doing well right now, right?
So, wow, that is crazy.
And you could see these little stripes right here,
I don't even know what that is.
I'm not sure like what part of the body it is.
I don't, I can't even, I can't make anything out.
This is the craziest thing ever.
So I don't, like I said,
we're definitely gonna do what's right for this animal.
It's been weird, I've never, that is crazy wild,
but definitely, definitely a tragedy.
I mean, listen,
I hate to produce animals that are like this,
but this is just kind of reality people.
I'm taking you guys on the journey,
always ups and downs, and goods and bads,
and seeing things that we've never seen before.
Listen, out of the thousands of babies that we hatch,
there's only a couple of these like this,
so it's not like it's a big thing,
but it does happen in nature all around.
So we're gonna go ahead and take care of this animal.
And wow, this has just been crazy.
Always in the process of updating things,
and we actually moved the ackie monitors,
I'll show you that in a minute.
And we redid this cage, actually, Jessica redid this cage,
and Jessica's just been a rock star lately,
with kind of updating cages,
putting new foliage in, and stuff like that.
We decided to put another leopard gecko on,
but not just a normal leopard gecko.
This is an awesome leopard gecko,
this is actually an Eclipse Super Snow.
It's got that pied, white head,
and it's just really, really cool.
I think it's awesome.
This guy does need a name by the way, and not,
it is a boy, by the way.
And yeah, we'd like to have a cool name for it,
but it's just a really cool leopard gecko.
And again,
I'm loving this new enclosure that Jessica made for it.
But again, ackies used to be in here,
and they were just getting a little bigger
so we decided to upgrade them.
And I absolutely love the way this enclosure came out.
Look at the ackie up here, buried at the top of the light.
I mean, of course,
this one's right over here, just poking his head out.
Look it, he's curious, like, "Hey, what's going on?"
He's actually, literally,
coming up to my finger right now.
It's absolutely incredible.
So it's cool that they're up here,
they've got the nice basking light up there that's lit,
a 120, 125 degrees, but they can run around.
And it's kinda cool,
'cause even though it's an upper cage,
that's kind of high,
the fact that they're always climbing on the rocks,
people can see them really good
and they don't come out as much as most stuff.
So it's kind of a perfect cage for display
without having to always, constantly, taking them out.
And speaking of taking them out,
we ended up moving Flaming Hot down
to this enclosure right here
where he's just more normal level,
where people can see him,
and it's a lot easier to access him, that's for sure.
And I think he likes it, too,
'cause he can see more people as he's running around.
'Cause he used to be in that upper cage over here
and he was just kind of out of view, right?
So people didn't see him.
He's such a beautiful bearded dragon, and again,
super popular here at the Reptarium, so it's cool.
Jessica did a great job of fixturing out this enclosure
for him, too.
He's got the big hotspot over here, cool side over here.
He can get over and hide if he wants,
just kind of perfect for him.
So I think he's super happy here.
He seems to be doing really well,
and people seem to be enjoying the fact
that they can actually see him all the time.
- Back at it again, guys,
with another update here with our Croc monitor, Baby Kush.
I know you guys are really,
really concerned that I'd wear my red plugs today.
Don't worry, I remembered, I got my other ones in.
So now that we can use the little red ball
and actually show you guys how much he's progressed.
And I'll tell you right now,
the last couple of times I've fed them by myself,
he gave me a little bit of a run for my money,
so let's see what he does.
(upbeat music)
- Holy cow, people,
we had that Pastel to Mojave Calico B clutch hatch out,
and ooh-doggy, yeah, we get some crazy stuff.
I mean, just some stuff is just like Mojave Spider here.
It looks like we have a little Pastave right here.
Nothing too crazy, a little Pastel here.
Even a little,
this is a little Calico here, but a single-gene Calico,
nothing too crazy here.
Even a little Spider Ball Python, that's not too,
this is pretty interesting to me.
I'm not a 100% sure what's going on
with this one right here,
because, theoretically,
this is probably a Super Pastel Calico,
but it looks really interesting.
Just really different and kind of unique.
And then we start getting into some interesting stuff here.
Like this almost looks like a Clown Ball python,
this is the Mojave Spider Calico B right here.
But, wow, does it look so cool.
Much cooler than even the dad, that thing is crazy.
And then there's this one here,
which I'm assuming is the Super Pastel Calico Mojave B,
crazy, wild, unbelievable.
So these two animals here
are really the cream of the crop right here.
Well, this one, I guess is a little bit, too.
I mean, the truth is all of them are amazing.
This clutch blew my mind.
Oh, and by the way,
this is just the cool, little Mojave Calico right here.
That looks pretty cool.
So, nevertheless, we produced some bangers in this clutch.
I was so excited to see this one crawl out of the egg
and this one, as well.
Oh my God, I'm just excited.
Once these things shed, and eat,
get a little bit of size on them,
they're gonna look amazing.
And again, the work never stops here.
I mean, we're never gonna stop improving, increasing things.
As a matter of fact,
we're retooling this entire racking wall,
I've got a pretty big surprise for you guys,
if things go the way I want them to go,
here in the next few weeks.
But I'm not gonna tell you about
what's gonna go in there, it's pretty exciting.
But Jessica and Bruce also added a bunch of foliage
into these enclosures here.
The Brazilian Black, I think, really loves it.
Now it's got a huge hide,
a bunch of different foliage, and, you know,
just making the animals feel more secure, right?
I mean, that way they can crawl underneath things,
like they're supposed to in the wild, and stuff like that.
And I think it looks amazing.
The animals seem to be happier, and all in all,
I'm just really excited about it.
So again, we're gonna continue to upgrade as we go.
Even if we're not doing huge expansions,
we still can go back and renovate a bunch of stuff,
making the animals even happier.
And again, long process,
but I love when we're making the progress we are.
Well, I'll tell you what, guys,
in all the years that I've been doing this,
I've never seen a snake so wild like that,
the heart beating outside.
It was absolutely crazy,
it was gross, but also extremely interesting.
I hope that you guys enjoyed this video.
