- Remember the other day
when we did the first egg cutting of the season.
Well guess what?
Those babies climbed out
and I'm always excited to see babies.
Don't get me wrong, cutting eggs is amazing.
That's a cool thing.
But seeing babies, hoo hoo doggy!
And look at that little monkey right there.
We're going to get to that one in a second
but let's take a look at the rest of this clutch.
Remember this was a pastel female
and she was bred to a black pewter cypress.
So the black pewter is actually a pastel, a black pastel,
and then again, a cypress.
And look at these guys,
this happens to be a little black pastel cypress here.
Now, the black pastel is an incomplete dominant.
And then that cypress is also that way.
And this is just super clean and beautiful animal.
And then we've got some beautiful little black pewters
right here.
This is actually a black pewter cypress.
And the way you really tell
is sometimes they have some of the striping on them,
but also they're really super clean
compared to a normal black pewter.
This is just a normal black pewter here,
and you can kind of see the difference.
It's a relatively subtle difference
but there's definitely a difference.
And these guys, let's take a look real quick.
It looks like this might be a low expression,
cypress ball Python right here.
Again, you can see kind of that striping
that goes down the dorsal and then some of that cleanliness.
Whereas this is just a normal ball python right here.
There's no striping.
There's no, the cleanliness isn't the same.
You can see the difference.
Then we ended up with two super pastel females.
Now, in the egg I thought one might be a cypress
super pastel, but it looks like they're probably
just normal, super pastels.
Because again, the pastel is on both sides,
the female and the male.
And then here is that animal that looked kind of purple-ish
or whatever the case is, really just a silver snake
more than anything.
This is actually the silver streak cypress.
So it's a super pastel.
It's a black pastel and it's a cypress.
And oh, my goodness, that is absolutely a ripper.
And look at these guys, they're trying to get away.
Get back in there you silly monkeys.
I tell you what, that is a gorgeous snake right there.
Isn't it cool? We finally are in the egg hatching season.
We've got more eggs to cut. We've got eggs being laid.
We got babies hatching out.
Ooh. I tell you what this is the time of year
you want to be a reptile breeder.
Good morning reptile army.
I hope the start your day is absolutely incredible.
And speaking of reptile army, you can go to reptilearmy.com
join the movement, the reptile movement
that is really going to help the reptile hobby.
And we always donate 10% of the proceeds to USARK.
We donate the rest to other causes in the reptile hobby
that is going to protect and educate.
It's never going to be doing a trip here pretty soon
and donating some money to a place
they don't know about yet, but that's what the reptile army
is all about.
So you guys are foot soldiers out there
changing people's minds about reptiles.
Go to reptilearmy.com
Just got word from the van place
that was wrapping that van that the van has done.
So I'm going to get out of here and go pick it up.
I have been so excited about this.
Let's hit that road.
- We're finally getting that good weather in Michigan.
So we're going to take Jogo outside
let him see some sun, let him see some trees.
See how he likes it.
I've been trying to take them out literally every day.
Take him around the block.
Let them see people.
I don't see the sun down in Florida,
he was actually outside a lot.
Here in Michigan we only get so long.
So, like I said we've been doing it every day
and he's been doing great.
How are you?
Do you want to check him, you want to see him?
You see him if you want.
- [Woman] Hi, how are you?
- Good. How are you?
- [Woman] Good.
- [Man] Hey, girls.
All of you in there, yeah, there we go.
- [Woman] Thanks for letting them pet him.
- Yeah, no problem.
So it's like interactions like that,
that's going to make it even better for Jogo.
When you come and visit him at the Reptarium.
Seeing different people, people petting him
and stuff like that.
Obviously we're still not to the point where anyone else
is going to hold him,
but even with me, he's just doing great.
I really wish we knew the people that lived in these houses
because I really want to let Jogo eat some of their flowers.
But...
we don't know them so we might have to just,
just sneak.
And honestly, it's really good.
He's not reaching for the tree.
That means he likes me more than the tree.
(dog barking)
Make sure there's no cars.
Look this way,
look this way,
look back this way.
Oh, look (indistinct).
You can take a photo though.
You don't know how I seen that.
I was like, man, what's that fancy thing on his car.
(background laughing)
- I saw you guys walking and I felt,
what is he carrying, a mini big foot?
- We're going to go up and knock on these people's door
and let's see what they think about the sloth.
- (screaming) A sloth!
Look at that sloth!
Oh my God, go get the babies.
- My mom loves sloths.
- Enjoy. Bye guys.
- Bye.
- Is it real, is this your pet?
- No, we're from the Reptarium over there with the reptiles.
- Matt!
- Matt, come down here.
Come on, Matt.
We have this idea where we want to start doing like
pop-up Reptarium.
So maybe I dunno, there's a tiger game and then boom,
we pop up, we got Jogo maybe Perdita.
So walking around doing stuff like this
is actually like great training for those events.
But we'll tell you more about that soon.
- And we are here and I am super excited.
Unfortunately, it's a little bit rainy, but you know what?
It doesn't matter because it is exciting.
I cannot wait to see this van and see how it looks.
This is so cool.
Let's go inside and take a look.
Here we go. Oh my God.
Ah, freaking cool.
The Reptarium, Oh my gosh, it looks so good.
Remember, this was a white van when we got it.
Now, it's not a white van anymore.
Oh my God, its got Salty, Ben and Jerry.
We've got Guac up here, Perdita.
We've got Carl.
We got, oh my gosh, we got everybody.
It's so cool.
Of course the sloth on the back, Jogo on the back.
Oh my gosh, this turned out so cool.
I am in love with it. Look at this side.
Oh my gosh! Wow!
Awesome!
I can't say enough.
I mean, this is a dream come true.
So, wow!
Turned out better than I even expected, unbelievable.
So what do you say, we hit the road
and go show everyone back at the shop.
(upbeat music)
Okay. Back at the Reptarium.
I'm so jacked up, this so amazing.
Let's get Lori and show her the van
and see what her reaction is.
Hey Lori, you wanna see the van?
- All right, you got it back.
- Yes. Let's go take a look at it.
What do you think?
- Looks good.
Isn't it awesome?
- Definitely eye catching.
- Right, that's what they said.
They said watch out for people running into you
and stuff like that.
So, you can look all the way around.
Came out good, right?
Sharp, it's convene, it's beautiful.
- This is good, it's durable, it won't pill off?
- No.
- Jogo came out good.
It turned out good, right?
- Way better than a white little...
(chuckling) van.
- It's awesome, right?
Lets call Jay, his going to be excited, isn't he?
- Oh yeah.
- He's going to be stoked.
All right, we're cool.
We're cool.
All right, I'm excited, yay!
Got this next clutch of pythons here.
That is actually just a beautiful normal ball Python.
And this will probably be the last year
that we breed normals.
We probably only have about six or eight
but we'll probably actually reduce them down.
It's because like I've been saying,
I'm going to squeeze my collection a little bit.
Obviously normals would probably be the first one to go.
But nevertheless, this girl looks like she's wrapped around
a beautiful clutch of eggs.
And she was bred to one of my favorite males
when it comes to clean beautiful animals.
And that's this banana fire pinstripe.
You know, all out of the bananas, which I don't mind
have all that black freckling in them.
Well, the fire gene in a pinstripe team really cleans it up.
And that is just a beautiful, clean animal.
So in this clutch, when they hatch
we're literally just going to get bananas,
fire bananas, banana pins, fire banana pins,
stuff like that.
So let's go ahead and see how much mama has.
It looks like a beautiful clutch of eggs too,
let's just get mama unraveled here.
Come on, mama. Let go, let go.
This guys are kind of piled high for sure.
So we're probably going to have to reduce them.
(exclaiming) Oh, oh!
Mom almost got me.
I knew she was about to bite me any second.
Whoo! See, I told you.
Now, my lens is...
look at this, my lens is all messed up from my mama.
Okay. That's a little bit better.
Let's see how many eggs we got here.
We actually have two, four, six, eight beautiful eggs here
and definitely going to have to take off.
'Cause they definitely, the lid doesn't fit very well
does it?
Nope. It doesn't do it.
But Hey listen, loving the clutches so far
we still have like over a hundred females to lay.
This is always cool and exciting.
Take a look at it.
It almost looks like there's two tranches here, right?
But the truth is, is that our salmon bird eater
actually just molted and it's incredible to see that mold
just like that.
A little duplicate of itself, right?
It's an actual skeleton and it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Again, the salmon birders are a giant spider
and this one because it's growing well, actually molted
and it actually even looks larger now that it's molted
but eventually it's going to get huge,
like 10 inches across.
It's going to be a big spider
but this thing is unbelievable.
And the cool thing is
you can actually see the fangs on the mole
and that gives you an idea.
You do not want to get bit by one of these.
The good news is this particular animal is really docile
and you can actually hold it.
But how cool is that?
To see a little duplicate like that?
That is awesome.
Next kluber clutch,
is actually this cream sickle hepper scale.
So she does not look happy. Mama!
She is protecting her eggs. Mama it's okay.
I'll just get these eggs out of here really quick.
Look at how upset she is.
(exclaims) Ooh!
Tell you what, that is one upset mama.
I'll go out and get her all cleaned up.
Get her some water.
Get her all settled in.
Oh my gosh.
I tell her it's rare to have a corn snake that's so upset.
But let's go ahead and see what we've got going on here.
It looks like we've got a nice little clutch of eggs here.
We'll pull these right over here.
Pull these right over here.
It looks like we've got two, four, six good eggs.
It looks like there was maybe a slugger too
that she may be eat or push around and stuff like that.
'Cause that's some of the goop on the actual egg itself,
but nevertheless, six good eggs.
I love this project and I am super excited and a bit nervous
to see what this girl has got going on.
This is actually what they call a tiger scale.
It's kind of a new mutation of the scales
that looks almost like more like a tiger
or something like that.
Absolutely wonderful.
Let's hope she has some good eggs please.
Oh yeah! Look at how gorgeous that snake is right there.
Oh my goodness.
Again, that's why we call them tiger scales,
'cause they literally look like a little Siberian tiger
or something like that.
Absolutely incredible.
And she's bred to another tiger scale.
So all of these are going to be tiger scales
and that is a perfect clutch of eggs.
Looks like we have one little slugger on the bottom there.
Just when I said it was perfect, I found a little slug.
But hey, I tell you what, other than that,
this clutch is gorgeous.
I'm just going to go ahead and pull these eggs out
to get them all separated out here, so that we're all good.
We're good here. Right there.
Wow! I tell you what, beautiful clutch eggs.
Nice big eggs.
All these babies are scales,
all of them are going to be tiger scales.
That is incredible.
We've got two, four, six, eight good eggs.
Wow, that's a beautiful clutch.
