- Hey, good morning, everybody.
And welcome to the vlog in my new podcast room.
You know, I'm just sitting here
wishing you guys an amazing day
and waiting for Spotify
to give me a hundred million dollars for my podcast.
The truth is that
not everything that you should do or I do
is about the money.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
The dream is, to do what you love and make money at it.
How much better could it get than that?
But dealing with this podcast room,
do I think it could go well,
I do think it could be something big,
but I'm just having a good time with it.
And the truth is,
the majority of the things I seem to do
are more about just doing things I wanna do
and hoping that eventually it will pay off.
And if it doesn't, I've at least gotten the reward
of having a great time.
Speaking of payoff, we had an amazing clutch,
that was a Pastel Enchi Lesser Bongo
that was bred to a Banana Clown.
And that hatched a few weeks back,
while they actually have shed now,
and I wanna show you the results.
First off, look at that monkey right there.
That is actually a Pastel Bongo that is Het for Clown.
Oh my goodness.
That thing is on fire.
And this entire clutch just hatched out was unbelievable.
It was like literally the dream club.
And I'm keeping all these guys, I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm not gonna sell any of them.
This is actually
a Banana Bongo that is Het for Clown as well.
Just look at the cool het pattern,
that Bongo really does a lot of influence.
This one also might have Enchi in it too.
It's a little hard to tell with some
to be totally honest with you,
because a lot of these animals are world's first
and no one really has ever produced them before.
So we really don't know what they actually are.
This is actually the same animal as the mom was,
which is a Pastel Enchi Lesser Bongo.
And this is also half a Clown.
So absolutely amazing.
Just imagine some of those combinations
with the Clown here pretty soon.
And then we got into some crazy stuff right here.
Oh my goodness.
Take a look at that right there.
This is actually
a Banana
Pastel Enchi
Lesser Bongo Het for Clown.
So that was the all gene animal
and oh my goodness did that come out amazing.
Again, can you imagine when these things get up to size,
it's gonna be crazy to stop again.
And here's another one,
the same genetics again,
that's a Pastel, it's a Banana, it's an Enchi,
it's a Bongo, it's a Lesser (laughing), it's Het for Clown.
Oh my goodness.
That thing is to die for right there.
So again, you know,
we had a beautiful clutch hatch out of there.
I had to give you the update on that.
And again,
these are the fruits of our labor.
I don't even really think about the money side
of those animals.
Because I don't know what they'd be worth,
but I'm not selling them, cause I'm keeping,
cause I can't wait to see what their offspring is.
And that's what it's always about.
Doing things that just kind of get you up in the morning
and get you excited about coming to work
or doing whatever you're doing.
(saw whirling)
Ooh hey RJ, what's going on.
(water splashing) See ya.
Hoo. Guess he wasn't happy to see me as I was to see him.
What do you say we get out of the dungeon here
and go cut a clutch of eggs over at the Reptarium.
(air whooshing)
Back at you.
There is not a lot more egg cutting for the year guys.
I mean probably maybe 15 more clutches
and we are wrapping up 2020, what a year.
Gearing up for 2021 breeding season already.
This is actually a Pastel bred to a Calico Pin Yellow Belly.
We cut a very similar clutch
that had three of the Lemon Blast Calico Pins in it.
That's what we're shooting for.
There's nine eggs in this clutch.
So let's hope we get a few of those again.
It'd be pretty dope.
Let's just jump into it.
And again,
the Calico, the Pastel mixed really well together.
Then you mixed the Pin in there and ooh God...
So this is actually...
It's a bred...
We got a Pinstripe Calico.
Now the Pinstripe Calicos, aren't really extreme,
but they're more orange,
And then as they get bigger, that orange turns to white.
It's really still a cool animal.
So I love the Blue Calico stuff.
So that's actually a good way to start this clutch.
Egg number two, But again, we want that Lemon Blast Calico.
That's what we're really looking for.
Looks like just a normal Calico.
So Hey, we got some Calico stuff, super popular
and this is a really pretty Calico too.
So that's really good.
And we still have seven eggs to go.
Come on Lemon Blast Calico Pin.
That's what I really wanna see.
And what do we have...
No, not yet.
Looks like just a...
Maybe just a Pinstriped guys.
It's a really pretty Pinstripe, but
it doesn't look like there's anything else going on in it.
So far I've been whiffing on her odds
as far as the Lemon Blast Calico Pin,
but Hey, we still have a bunch of eggs to go,
so we're gonna hit it.
Come on let's do it.
Every egg is an opportunity, right?
I look at every egg as the opportunity
to produce the thing that you really wanna produce.
It looks like we've got another Pinstripe Calico here
with that thing.
Interestingly enough, now we cut four eggs,
there's been no Pastel.
Cause it's weird, cause the female is a Pastel.
So half the eggs should be Pastel.
We completely whiffed on that gene.
But again, we still have two, four, five eggs to go.
Let's see what we got here.
Hmm, gosh, it looks like we might've whiffed out everything.
Literally a normal ball python.
That's an unusual thing to (laughing) brace yourself.
Still no Pastels and we only have four eggs to go.
Again, last time we had three of the Lemon Blast Calico Pins
or we're gonna to have to do
some pretty crazy odds on the last four eggs
to get that again.
But let's go ahead.
Hey, I'm gonna send out positive vibes.
Let's do it.
Come on, gotta get a Pastel in here somewhere.
Right?
Another,
non-Pastel.
But this one looks like a...
This one actually is a Yellow Belly
and it might just be a normal Yellow Belly.
Doesn't look like there's anything else to it
so strange.
This has been weird.
Three eggs to go.
Let's just keep cutting.
You never know when you're cutting a clutch of eggs,
what's gonna happen. Right?
Sometimes even I'm surprised at the results.
So three eggs to go.
let's get at least one all gene animal.
Here we go, gosh, what a weird, weird batch to cut,
but this one might be it.
This one might be it.
Let me see.
Oh my gosh. It's not gonna be a Pin...
This is crazy.
So this is actually...
it's still a really beautiful snake.
This is a Pinstriped Calico Yellow Belly.
So this is all the genes minus the Pastel.
So now we've got two, four, six, seven eggs.
And have yet to hit a Pastel.
Which is crazy, cause the female is a Pastel.
Two eggs to go.
If we get this whole clutch and don't produce a Pastel
of any kind, I will be blown away.
And again not,
we missed it again and...
and listen guys, we have another little umbilical twist.
Remember this happened the other day
where we had an umbilical twisted around.
This one we're gonna have to kind of go into.
So let's cut the last egg. We'll go back.
We'll get this umbilical,
hopefully untwisted with this animal.
This one, I don't know.
Last one was super easy.
It was right by the head, we were able to just pop it out.
Don't know, sometimes it can be a really severe twist
and you have to really work on it,
but let's cut this last egg and then we'll go back
and see if we can get that umbilical twist out
so that we save that baby's life.
And again, that's just another reason why cutting eggs,
if you didn't...
If I didn't cut that egg
and that umbilical twist, most likely would kill that snake.
And guess what guys,
we hit a Pastel,
but it looks like a Pastel Yellow Belly,
possibly a Calico.
So only one Pastel out of nine eggs.
So weird. No Lemon Blasts, no Lemon Blast Calicos,
no Lemon Blast Calico Yellow Bellies.
That is weird.
But with that being said,
let's go back to this egg here
with this little umbilical twist.
And again, I'm gonna have to kind of cut into this thing
a little bit more than I'd really like to,
and see...
You can see right there where the umbilical
and the yolk is like, just twisted around.
Again, it looks like maybe I can...
Maybe just slowly get the things head through it like this.
Just like last time,
if I can, we can get that restriction out there,
exactly like that.
Beautiful.
Absolutely what I wanted.
So I was able to untwist that umbilical.
We're good now.
Now the rest of that yolk can be absorbed.
It's not gonna restrict the animal and kill it.
So, that was actually an easy fix.
Two umbilical twist this year.
Both of them super simple.
I've had many of them where they've been really a pain.
A couple of times I've actually had cut the umbilical
and then solder it so that it doesn't bleed out.
So far it's been good.
We saved another animal
and ultimately had a pretty cool clutch of eggs.
Even though the results were very unusual.
RJ, you're getting pretty heavy.
Look at there's a white Cobra,
(laughing) Guys, is this the coolest thing ever.
That's so amazing.
Guys Let Roses Burns actually fit this for me.
It's absolutely incredible.
The point is, dream big people, dream big,
because one day you may have your own action figure
with the banana shirt and the whole shot with bell on it.
Absolutely love this side.
And if you notice, even RJ is missing the right leg.
So it's a great job.
Thank you for that.
I wanna go back to the podcast for a second.
I need your help really quick.
I want to start bringing in weekly guests,
but I don't want them to be like always animal guests.
I want them to be all kinds of things.
I'm interested in every walk of life, right?
So every Saturday or who knows what day,
to be honest with you,
we wanna have a guest on where it'd be me and that guest.
And we wanna just kind of talk about their life,
whether they're a scientist, whether they're paranormal,
whether they are a zookeeper or something like that,
but I'm busy.
You guys know that.
Does someone have some time
that wants to start reaching out to people
that would actually come in and spend time?
You're kind of like a booking agent.
If you guys have the time, think you have the connections
and the tenacity to get to some really cool guest
that people wanna do...
I want you to do me a favor,
go over to @Jaytomsky on Instagram,
follow him first and then send him a message
and he will message you back.
We need one person that's gonna be really tenacious,
really amazing, really hardworking.
That will actually try to find us really good guests
for the podcast.
The podcast that we're called Been Wondering,
which means that:
I've been wondering about whatever that person
does for a living or their hobby is.
So again, message Jay to tell us if you can help us out,
let's make this podcast amazing.
And speaking of salt and pepper, (laughs)
I tell you what guys, this is odd.
This is a nightmare.
I'm literally....
I'm kinda of at a loss.
I'm not gonna to lie to you.
I thought I had this fixed three times now.
I guess we're back to square one.
What exactly to do
and where this water is coming from is your...
your guess is as good as mine, I don't know.
So (sighs) I just gotta mentally regroup.
And hopefully here within the next couple of days,
I can kinda get a mental attitude
and try to fix this thing once for all.
If you guys have any ideas for me,
let me know because there's water all over the ground.
This thing is, this is,
this is crazy.
I usually can fix things.
And I am at a loss.
Excited. My buddies from Ohio
came back down to install the countertop.
I may have to have bribed them to come out on a Sunday.
(buddy laughs)
No, I appreciate you guys, man.
I tell you what,
literally their day off they're here working to help us out.
So definitely show them some love up.
I'll put some links in the description, really good guys.
So the countertops is gonna go on
and this place is gonna be amazing.
Are you excited Jay?
Where's Jay?
