- Take a look at, guys.
This is absolutely the way I like to start
every single day.
This is a little Stimson's python
and it's wrapped around a beautiful
clutch of eggs right here.
Ooh, doggy, I tell you what,
eggs in the morning is the best way to go.
So let's go ahead and set up an egg box.
(scooping)
And now the fun part to actually pull the mamma
off her eggs and find out how many eggs she has.
Good job, mom. You did so good.
What a beautiful snake.
And of course these are Antaresia stimsoni,
which of course are a Stimson's python from Australia.
Little dwarf python.
I mean, look at these beautiful eggs right here.
Beautiful clutch,
that's two, four, six, eight, 10, 12
beautiful eggs.
The first clutch of Stimson's
we had actually were 18 eggs.
So we are crushing it when it comes
to the first two clutches of the year.
That is absolutely amazing.
Woo, doggy! Welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start your day is amazing.
And that's right, egg season is here
and I'm going to follow up actually
a really beautiful clutch
of Stimsonis with something that's
not quite as good right here.
And that's at this spotted python
which is very closely related to the Stimson's python
Now these are what they call maculosas
which is just a different sub species of the Antaresia.
But look at this, it actually laid a beautiful clutch
of eggs, but then left it.
For whatever reason she would just kind of
laid her eggs and then went away.
She's sitting in the back of the enclosure now.
And unfortunately these eggs just got a little bit dry.
That's one of the reasons why mamas wrap
around them is to contain all that humidity
and keep the eggs actually moist.
Why she did this?
I don't know.
It doesn't look like any of the eggs are rolled.
They all look good, but they are pretty desiccated.
We've got two, four, six, eight
nine eggs from a spotted python.
But unfortunately not sure
if these are going to make it or not.
What we're going to do is just take a little bit
of damp Sphagnum moss. We'll pack it around here
and hopefully they'll actually inflate
over the next little bit.
But boy, what a bummer!
Beautiful way to start the day.
Kind of a little bit, not as good
for the second clutch,
But hey, I still have hope.
There's a chance that these guys could still hatch out.
- [Brian] What are you doing?
- Oh, I'm feeding the spoiled baby.
Look at him.
- [Brian] What is he doing?
- [Lori] He's being fed. This is what he does.
He comes to me and opens his mouth.
Like, I want to eat.
(laughing)
- [Brian] He's so spoiled, Lori.
- I know.
- [Brian] Oh my God.
This is the cutest thing in the world, though.
If you're all good, you're being such a silly monkey.
- You guys want to mess with me?
No, actually I'm going to do an unboxing right now.
What do you say we unbox this cool animal?
And I am pretty excited about this one.
Actually, our friends at Our Legacy Reptiles
actually reached out and actually donated
this amazing animal.
You guys know that we have a couple
of bearded dragons here.
We've got Flamin' Hot Cheeto and of course
we have Fetty Wap. Well, now Fetty Wap
is getting a little long in the tooth
if you know what I mean, he's been around for a while.
(bangs) Wow, that was really heavy.
He's been around for a while.
So we're thinking
about actually letting him retire or wrap BHB.
So we were looking for another bearded dragon
and we wanted to get a white one.
And guess what we got, we got this little monkey right here.
This is actually a white hypo witblits.
It's just absolutely incredible.
Now this one's a little bit more gray right now
but they'll kind of fire up and fire down a little bit
and it's primarily a patternless animal that is beautiful.
And I'm telling you what, Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
This is a female by the way.
So we do need a name down in the comments.
What would you name this beautiful little monkey right here?
Again, it's a hypo witblits and it's absolutely,
Oh my gosh! It's so cool.
Again, a lot of times these guys will be kind
of almost pure white looking.
This one's just kind of a gray but no pattern.
It's really cool 'cause it's probably about a year old
which is awesome because, again,
bearded dragons are gonna live 10, 12, 15 years.
Fetty is 13, 14 years old already.
So we needed another one and for kids
to take this out is going to be absolutely incredible.
So, thank you Our Legacy Reptiles for
donating this to the Reptarium.
We will absolutely love it and we do need a name.
So let me know down in the comments.
And guys whenever you're working with animals,
there's good, there's bad, there's ugly.
We started with a great clutch this morning.
We got an okay cluster that was a little desiccated
that may not make it.
And then guess what?
The first ball python laid today
and oh, my gosh! This is actually a
pinstripe piebald
to a pastel pie, and oh my goodness mama!
What happened, girl?
Oh, what a disaster of a clutch.
I mean, gee oh pete's, not even one good egg.
And you could see it's all kind of slimy and goopy.
This egg actually - look at that.
Look at that right there.
That egg actually split.
This is a slug egg though so it's not any good,
but it actually split and it got goop
all over the rest of these eggs.
Now, unfortunately none of these eggs
are any good right now.
We've got two, four, six, seven slugs in here.
Oh, what a way to start the year with ball pythons.
That's part of it, guys.
When you work with reptiles you're going to have
really amazing clutches
and you're going to have disappointments.
You really don't want the first ball python clutch
of the year to be a disappointment.
But in this case, there's not much I can do about it.
You know how that goes.
So let's go ahead and put these eggs to use, at least,
and feed them to something over at the Reptarium.
What a bummer! But hey, that's okay.
We got one beautiful clutch of Stimson's,
one okay clutch of spotted pythons,
and then a terrible clutch of ball python.
Interestingly enough, guys,
when I was taking out those slug eggs
I noticed that this egg right here,
which is a severe boob egg,
you can see all that network of veins right in it.
So it actually looks like there's actually
a fertilized egg right here.
And this is the exact same way.
You can see the networks of veins in here.
So both of these eggs actually do have
a chance of making it.
So there was two potentially good eggs.
A severe boob egg here that may or may not make it.
And this one actually looks like it's pretty promising.
So I'm just going to stick them in the egg box
and we'll go ahead and set them up in the incubator
and, hey, maybe we get two ball pythons out of after all.
So it wasn't as big of a disaster as I expected.
- [Brian] What do you guys smell?
What are you guys doing?
- We're cleaning the humidifier.
- [Brian] How's it going?
- It's disgusting.
(gags)
- [Brian] Just take a little whiff.
- I can't.
(laughing)
It's on my face.
(laughing)
- [Lori] I need help.
- [Brian] Now Drogo wants to help out.
- [Lori] He's really getting angry right now.
- Look at him, he's doing this puffed up thing.
- Look who it is, the three musketeers.
- Hey.
- I got a hundred dollars.
- Ooh!
- [Brian] One hundred dollars.
Benjamin Franklin.
- [Employee] My favorite dead president.
- Easter is coming up.
Have you guys ever been on an Easter egg hunt?
- What's that?
- Yeah? Okay. So I'm going to put
this hundred dollars in an Easter egg
and I'm going to hide it somewhere in the building
and whoever gets it gets to keep the a hundred dollars.
- Only in the Reptarium?
- In this Reptarium.
Nope. Upstairs. Just upstairs.
A hundred dollars. All right.
Ready? Let's go.
(Fun music)
- Let the fun begin.
Like I mentioned, I hope that we don't have
that many slugs this year but we are going
to go ahead and use them every time we do.
This time we're going to try Baby Kush.
It's never had eggs before
so I don't know what's going to happen.
You want to try?
It's really crazy.
I thought Baby Kush would love this
but it doesn't seem to be very interested.
There it goes.
Finally he took it.
Now he's just like, what is this?
Let's see what happens.
Shaking it.
Oh my God. This is so freaking cool.
So this, again, it's the first time that
Baby Kush has had an egg. Now in the wild,
they would certainly raid nests and stuff like that.
So you would think he's trying to figure it out
and if he squeezed it those teeth are
gonna really be able to puncture this.
So look at him. He's just like, Aww nah,
I think he likes it.
Oh yeah.
Great. Right.
All right, I think he likes it.
Let's see if he takes a second one.
Now he's got it. Like yes, of course!
Yeah. This is definitely going.
So again, we're going to put this to use all year.
Anytime we get slugs, we're going to feed them off
to the monitor lizards or whatever might eat them.
All right, last egg.
There he goes.
What a trip
Hey, it's a bummer that we get slug eggs.
It's definitely not the way we wanted
to start the ball python season out
but hey, ya know what? Baby Kush got an awesome meal.
- I'm trying to think! It's very hard.
- [Brian] Look who decided to come join the party.
Hi, Matilda. Hello, girl.
So Matilda of course just pushes her way out
when she wants food. So I think she's hungry.
Let's go get her some lettuce and feed her.
(happy music)
- All right guys, I'm going to up the ante.
If you can find it in the next 60 seconds,
I'll give you $200.
60 seconds, go!
40 seconds, guys.
15 seconds for the $200.
Okay guys, I'm sorry, but you don't get the $200
but there's still a hundred dollar egg hidden in here.
I'm going to narrow it down for you guys.
It's in this side of the building
and it's in the front half.
- [Employee] Found it!
(cheering)
- There he goes, guys. Got the a hundred bucks.
Way to go. Happy Easter, Mike.
- Thank you!
- I just literally can't believe how big
Chopsticks is getting.
I mean, it's amazing again, you know,
two-headed animals are definitely tough
when you first get them 'cause a lot of them don't live
and it's really tough, but you can see
once they start taking off, they absolutely explode.
I swear to God, these guys have doubled their size
just in the last two months.
Won't be long before there'll be full grown
two headed turtles.
I mean, how awesome is that?
I absolutely love these guys.
And speaking of two-headed animals
of course we've got Ben and Jerry
the two-headed snake that are absolutely doing well.
What I really need now is a two-headed lizard.
It's kind of weird because there are some
two-headed lizards out there.
And as a matter of fact there was a two-headed
crested gecko that I was trying to buy this last year.
But I think it ended up dying, unfortunately,
because the person that had it that wanted to sell it to me
just stopped responding to my messages
and I never saw it again.
So I think that it didn't make it, which is a big bummer
because the two-headed lizard would really round
out my two-headed crazy freak show here at the Reptarium.
But I absolutely love them and I'm telling you what
they are an amazing attention grabber for sure.
People come in and absolutely love Chopsticks
and Ben and Jerry.
Good news! I actually had a guy out yesterday,
the cement guy about the basement.
And actually I think that the budget was actually
may be the right where I thought it was going to be,
maybe even a little bit less if we decide to do the basement
but you guys will not believe this.
Lori actually would prefer to do the upstairs
the entire length of the building.
That's what you want to do, huh?
- You can't pin me down on stuff. It was an idea.
- No, no, nope. Right.
But we need a confirmation on the blog right now
so that everyone knows what you're saying.
So yes for the upstairs is what we're gonna do.
The thing that's nice is upstairs is that
we can expand that way upstairs.
Keep the basements the way they are.
That way we don't have to really move anything out.
And then we can actually do the entire upstairs,
that would be dope.
That means we actually have like four additional
units instead of two additional units.
So it's like a lot more space.
- Math.
- Yeah. Math. I'm good at math.
I know two plus two.
So we're good? Yes? Upstairs?
- No.
- What do you mean no? It was your idea, though.
It was your idea.
- These are all discussions. We're discussing.
- I know, but this, but yeah, but right.
But it was your idea.
It was your idea.
- Nothing's decided.
- It's your idea.
Yes. Okay, good.
You heard it here first.
Take a look at guys.
We actually have a male in with Carole Baskin.
Carole Baskin, of course, is the Cal king
that last year ate three of her males.
Three of them!
This year she seems to be doing pretty good.
No issues at all.
This male seems to be surviving well, so that's good.
And the coluber season is on its way.
Lori has been switching males every single day.
See all the male tags all over the place.
So that means egg season is right around the corner.
Probably about four or five weeks away
for our first coluber clutches.
So things are definitely heating up here.
I absolutely love this. Look at it.
Mike is chopping up some food for Matilda.
Matilda is like, Okay I'm right here, I'm ready!
Well, it certainly does suck to start the year off
with a slug clutch of ball pythons
but hey, we got some good Stimson's python eggs
and hopefully those spotted python eggs will make it.
That's just part of breeding snakes, to be honest with you.
Enjoy this video and if you're looking for snake eggs
here's a playlist right over here
that you can actually watch a whole bunch of
snake eggs. We're over 3 million people,
