- Hey, good morning everybody, welcome to the vlog!
You know I'm in the incubator,
which means only one of two things.
We have some great babies hatched out,
which is absolutely the case,
look at this Mimosa with all this kind of
crazy Pied markings on him!
And this is another Mimosa here,
look at this one right here!
This is actually a Ghost Black Pastel,
and this was a female Black Pastel bred to
a Mimosa, the Black Pastel was obviously
Het for Ghost, look at this animal, right here.
Hoo, hoo doggy! And then this one, here,
has got his head poking out!
But I'm gonna be totally honest with you,
I'm not here just to show you baby snakes,
of course I'm excited about that.
But we're gonna cut a couple really cool clutches,
I cannot wait, you guys know I love cutting eggs!
What do you say we just jump right into it?
This is my last razor blade in this pack,
so I'm going to have to get another pack,
'cause we do have some more clutches comin'.
And I hope that you guys will keep
enjoying me cutting some eggs.
What do you say we jump into this first one?
It's actually a Super Enchi Pin bred to
a blue-eyed Leucistic, which is a Lesser and a Het Russo,
so there should be some pretty cool animals.
All should be Enchi, could be Lessers, could be a whole
bunch of things. Let's go ahead and cut this first egg.
Okay! What do we have, here? Oh!
I am so excited about this.
Okay, what do we got? Oh! Oh, right off the bat.
You know what? This is interesting.
This actually looks like an Enchi Pin Het Russo!
So the Het Russo and the Lesser mixed together, and
they'll actually produce Blue-Eyed Leucistic.
But this little animal here, look at how clean it is,
that Het Russo really cleans up.
That's a beautiful animal right there,
and a big little baby, too!
Alright, egg number two! Let's see what we got!
Let's see what we got. Oh, interesting!
This looks like an Enchi, possibly a Het Russo,
it's kinda hard to tell, to be honest with you.
It could just be a really pretty Enchi, too,
nevertheless, not bad.
I'm kinda hopin' we get some cool combinations, here,
so far we haven't really hit too much cool stuff.
But, you know how that goes, it can change in a dime.
Let's see, oh, this one looks like it might be kinda cool.
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, look at that right there!
That is actually an Enchi Kingpin. Oh my God!
That thing is absolutely gorgeous!
Now, the Enchi Kingpin would be an Enchi,
a Lesser, and a Pinstripe. Oh my gosh!
That one is gonna be a stunner!
This egg is tucked behind, right here,
so we're gonna do the best that we can do
to try to see if we can't see what's in here,
but there's not a lot of room for us at all.
I'm gonna do the very best I can do.
Ooh! Ooh, yeah, alright, another Enchi Kingpin!
Oh my gosh, that's awesome! These guys are really,
really pretty animals.
Next egg up, let's see what we got here.
So far I've been super happy with this clutch!
Oh! Okay, this one is a slam-dunk right here,
remember I said that the first one might be
an Enchi with Het Russo? That one is definitely
an Enchi Het Russo.
You can see in the sides, right here, where you've got
that real white coming up, it's super, super clean?
That's something that that Het Russo does,
so that's awesome, we definitely hit at least
one Enchi Het Russo, and possibly two of 'em.
But we still have a couple eggs to go,
so who knows what we're gonna get with these guys.
Let's see what we got, here.
Interestingly enough, we haven't gotten
an Enchi Pin Het Russo yet. Oh!
Here's another Enchi Het Russo, dead giveaway,
this patterning right here is a dead giveaway,
that is absolutely another Enchi Het Russo.
And again, this last egg is gonna be really
hard to see inside, 'cause it's kinda
underneath another egg, but we're gonna do
the absolute best we can do, to see if
we can check out what's inside, here.
Ooh! Oh, guess what, guys? Remember how I said that
we didn't get an Enchi Pin Het Russo?
Well guess what? That's an Enchi Pin Het Russo, right there!
Ooh, that's a pretty little monkey, too!
I can't wait 'til that comes outta the egg, and,
actually, ironically enough, the first one was
an Enchi Pin Het Russo, too, so, I kinda lied on that one.
We got two Enchi Pin Het Russos! That was a pretty
awesome clutch of eggs, right there.
So this is a big clutch of eggs, this is actually
a Super Vanilla Pastel bred to a Pinstripe.
I'm gonna go ahead and cut these as quick as I can,
because there's ten eggs in this clutch, but again,
because of the Super Vanilla, everything should be Vanilla,
some should be Pastel, some should be Pinstripe,
so we could get some Lemon Blast Vanillas,
who knows what's gonna be in here,
let's go ahead and cut the first egg.
And here we go! Gosh, this is
a big clutch of eggs, right here, isn't it?
Ooh, what's this? Huh? What is that?
What in the frickin world is that?
What is it?
I tell you what, guys, that really looks like
a Red Stripe, for some reason.
I wonder if, somehow, a Red Stripe male got in this clutch?
I'm not a hundred percent sure, it could just be
a random goofy error. But regardless, that certainly
isn't anything I was expecting to see in this clutch.
I can't wait to--and it looks good, oh my gosh,
that head looks wild! Wow! That animal is super dope!
I don't know what it is, maybe it's a red stripe,
maybe it's not. When we cut the rest of the clutch
we're gonna find out. Let's see if we can start doing some
investigative egg cutting, here, and finding out
what the heck was going on with that animal, right there.
Ooh, interesting, interesting, okay.
That is definitely a Vanilla, right there,
looks like a Pastel Vanilla. Alright, alright.
We're getting there. It looks like the Super Vanilla Pastel
was the father, at least of that egg, so what was
that other egg? We'll still keep cutting
and trying to find out. (laughs)
I love it when sometimes there's like a mystery,
where you've gotta kinda figure out, "what is going on?"
Alright, what do we have here?
Okay, that's just a normal Vanilla, not a Pastel,
just a normal Vanilla, okay.
So, we haven't gotten any Pinstripes, yet, which is weird
because the female's a Pinstripe, we know that's the female.
We just sometimes throw an extra male in, and that can
kind of goof things up. But right now we definitely have
a Super Vanilla Pastel, it's the father of two eggs,
for sure, but no Pinstripes yet, let's keep going.
(laughs) This is getting interesting, guys, it's wild.
Oh, okay! Oh, look at--What? What the heck is going on
here, man? What in the world?
Okay, so, that looks like a Vanilla Lemon Blast,
but what's up with all this crazy patterning?
It doesn't make any sense!
Something's gotta be going on, 'cause this is weird.
I mean, the female is definitely a Pinstripe,
the male is definitely a Super Vanilla Pastel,
but we're producing some crazy, granite-y wild stuff!
I don't know what's up, we got some more eggs,
this is getting nutty! My gosh!
I don't even know what to expect, now, to be honest.
With every egg I'm cutting, I'm like
"what am I gonna find in this egg?"
Okay, okay. (laughs) Oh my Gosh, this is so weird.
This looks, definitely, like a Vanilla Pinstripe,
but again, it doesn't look like a normal Vanilla Pinstripe!
It's really granite-y. I wonder if the female has
some kind of Granite gene attached? What a crazy clutch!
And the only way to really know what's going on
is to continue cutting, and continuing finding goofy things.
Okay, now, see, this is interesting, here.
Because this is a Vanilla Lemon Blast,
what I would expect to find from this clutch,
but that other animal looked nothing like this!
This definitely looks like a normal vanilla lemon blast.
The other one was crazy patterned!
So, wow. The plot gets deeper.
We have four more eggs to cut, to maybe
start to piece this puzzle together.
Let's see what we've got, here...
Okay, another Pinstripe Vanilla, pretty typical,
that's what I would expect to see.
So it's interesting, some animals are exactly
what I expected, and then there's a couple animals
that are radically different.
That makes me believe that there's definitely
another gene floating around in there, most likely with
the female, because this male fathered some other clutches
with no results like this.
But we have three more eggs, and we're going to continue
to find and see if there's anything else
really goofy going on.
Okay, now this is cool, this is another very typical
Vanilla Lemon Blast. So we've gotten a couple of very
typical Vanilla Lemon Blasts, and then we got that
really crazy one! These eggs are kind of buried,
so it's gonna be a little bit harder to see,
but we're gonna do our best to take a look, here.
Okay, that's just a normal Vanilla Ball python, there.
It's kind of interesting, we've only had
two normal Vanillas, which is pretty cool,
that's pretty good odds for this clutch.
And, finally, the last little egg,
let's see if we get something else crazy,
or if we're gonna not solve this problem.
And, again, it's just a normal Vanilla. Hmm, that's crazy.
But, what's interesting, is that this animal here
is certainly a Vanilla Lemon Blast, but really wacky!
And, then, this animal here makes zero sense.
It doesn't match anything in the clutch, at all.
So, I don't know what's going on.
We've got two kind of mystery animals in this clutch,
I don't know, guys, but that's it, that was pretty awesome!
I get so hyped up when I cut eggs,
especially when I find something that I'm not expecting,
so I hope that you guys enjoyed it!
What do you say we head over to the shop?
Oh my gosh, guys, we are four days away
from the install of the Reptarium, and I'm over here now.
What the plan is, for today, is to get this wall up
for the utility room, get kind of a start of a wall
over here, which is gonna be kind of a storage room.
It's also going to be behind the alligator enclosure.
So, I'll be honest with you, this is the one problem
with daily vlogging, is sometimes you have a bunch of
kind of work like this, that isn't very exciting.
I'm gonna ahead and just put these walls up over here,
and you guys can join me, and hopefully
I won't bore you too much. But, again,
this is all part of the process.
The steps in the process. Again, four days away, oh my gosh.
(Upbeat music)
(Power tools whirring)
Okay! So, that is the outside wall, here.
All I have to do is build this wall
that will have a door on it as well,
so, uh, comin' along nicely.
It's like I've told you guys,
I don't just clean snake poop for a living.
When you run a business, you kind of are
the jack of all trades.
Taking a little break from the build out there,
and, y'know, that's what so awesome about this,
is that, y'know, I enjoy building things out,
but more importantly it's awesome that
I get to do it for the animals.
And it's cool that, right next door, is my place.
So I can come over here and take a little break.
And I actually tried to get Titan out,
but, uh, he's cranky today.
You know, a lot of people have been asking about
Lucy and Titan's babies, like,
"When is the eggs gonna hatch?"
I don't know, I think they're two-or-so weeks away,
I'm not really sure, because they're not like Ball pythons,
where it's like, sixty days. These guys can go seventy,
eighty, sometimes even close to ninety days, so I have to
just kind of wait. Oh my gosh, Titan, oh, oh my gosh,
come on Titan, don't bite. Okay.
I think Titan's okay, now, I'm not a hundred-percent sure,
but you can see he's definitely looking good,
and he's gonna be--Whoa! Oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh!
It's okay, Titan! Titan, it's alright. It's okay, Titan.
I'll tell you what, I'm getting Titan back in his cage,
because he's crazy today! Oh my gosh, oh.
(exhales) That was a close call a couple times,
I'll tell you what, but the fact is that
Titan's babies are on their way.
Titan's gonna be on display next door, too,
along with Lucy, so, I'll tell you what,
I did not expect it. I thought I was gonna just
pull Titan out and kinda show you guys, like,
how amazing he looks, he was a cranky little monkey today.
(Upbeat music)
And there you have it. Officially, this is
the utility room, the wash room for the Reptarium, here.
The walls are up, everything is good,
I obviously have to sheet-rock it, still,
and all that type of stuff, but this is a start.
And then I have to put the door in and so on,
like that, so this is all good.
Tomorrow, I'll probably tackle this part, here.
But, again, over here, right in this corner, here,
is gonna be the 'gator tank, so I can't really
build the wall all the way out, 'cause I don't exactly know
where the 'gator tank is gonna go, so we're probably just
gonna put, like, the corner in over here, and then
leave it there until Stewart comes with the tank.
We'll get the tank in, and then we'll build the wall
as we're actually installing the rest of the stuff.
So, okay, one more job down. Oh my gosh.
Only four more days!
You know, guys, I needed some time with something
a little less cranky than Titan,
so I decided to take Sunrise out.
She is so amazing, and I tell you,
she's going to look so beautiful
in a nice, big display nextdoor. People are gonna love her.
And, again, she's gonna have the opportunity
to be out around kids so much.
I absolutely love it, and I know
she's gonna be an absolute crowd-favorite.
And if you guys haven't realized that I'm kinda stalling,
right now, because, y'know, as much as
I don't mind building things out,
and I'm excited about all the progress we're making,
I do have to get back nextdoor,
and instead I want to just play with some animals.
So, I'm gonna go back to nextdoor and sheet-rock that room
to get that all done. Basically, after that,
I just have to do some finish work and paint it,
and get it ready. Because, again,
we only have a few more days.
It has to be done by then.
So, I guess, reluctantly, I'm gonna go ahead
and get nextdoor and finish up this work.
But again, you know, it's not really reluctantly.
The fact is, I love every bit of this process,
and you guys get to share the experience.
Isn't it cool that every step we make, we're closer?
And trust me, things are about to change tremendously,
in only a few days. Oh my God.
Alright well, alright, enough messing with animals.
Let's get back to work.
(Upbeat music)
Alright, I'm wrapping up the day, here,
over at the Reptarium, or what will be the Reptarium.
This is my results of my room, right here.
I completely have it sheet-rocked, put a coat of mud on it,
I hung the door, and then, now,
this is our utility room, here.
Obviously we'll sheet-rock this, we'll put shelves up
and stuff like that. We've got a sink,
we're gonna have a couple hose rails, here,
so that we can do the maintenance out in the shop.
But there it is, guys. And again, you know,
I don't know, I guess I'm not just the snake guy.
I can build stuff, I guess. But, I actually
have to build this, hopefully
tomorrow I'll build that room out.
And then, really, after that it's just a matter of
cleaning up over here, getting ready for the cages to arrive
in, now, three days, so that's pretty exciting.
Oh my God, three days. I actually have
the first set of company coming in tomorrow,
and then a bunch of other people are coming in
in about two days, and then the insanity begins.
Oh my God, are you guys ready for this?
With that said, guys, I am gonna go ahead and head home.
This was an extremely long day, and there's
a lot of long days ahead of us.
No relaxing days until the Reptarium is done.
And, just so you guys know, it looks like
the fourteenth of September, I'm shooting for the open.
So, if you guys are planning on coming up the fourteenth,
fifteenth, sixteenth, that weekend,
please make the trip then.
But make sure to keep an eye on my social media.
You can follow me over at SnakeBytesTV on Instagram
and Twitter, I will be updating you guys just in case
there's something that gets postponed.
But right now, we're looking for the fourteenth,
fifteenth, and sixteenth to be the first weekend,
with the fourteenth being the first day.
So if you want to come, go ahead and comment down below,
and hopefully we can have a great time that weekend.
In the meantime, I'm out of here.
I got home late after a long day at work
and I forgot to tell you guys goodnight!
So, I'm gonna go ahead and end the vlog.
And, of course, it means that it's tomorrow,
which means there's three days left for the Reptarium!
Three days, people! We have a lot of work to get done,
but it is gonna be absolutely amazing.
Are you guys as excited as I am?
I am absolutely freaking out.
But, with that said, I've gotta get to work,
I've got a lot to do, so I will see you in the vlog today,
even though for you, it's tomorrow, if that makes any sense.
You guys have an absolutely amazing day!
Thank you, as always, for all your support,
it does mean the world to me and I truly do
love you guys so much. Do me a couple favors,
before we get out of here and I get my day started,
