- [Man] Yes!
- [Boy] Whoa!
- [Man] What?
(people laughing)
- [Man] Op! (laughs)
- [Man] He's literally taking it back home! (laughs)
(leaf blower starts up)
(High intensity electronic music)
- Ay good morning everybody!
Welcome to the vlog.
I'm here at the Reptarium, I'll be over at BHB
a little bit today, and, you know what,
I have decided, let's declare today a fun day.
I know everyday is fun for me
and I get excited about everything I am doing,
but I just decided today is a day
that I needed to just have a good time.
Not a ton of work.
Yeah, we'll do a little bit of work,
but mainly, we're just gonna have fun.
What do you say we have fun for
the next 12 to 15 minutes together?
Give my little guy Toothless his normal bath for the day.
He loves soaking and it's really good to keep him hydrated.
I am a little worried.
I haven't really seen him eat at all since he's been here.
He's been really interested every time we throw,
like a pinky in, or roaches in, or crickets in,
but I haven't actually seen him eat so a little stressed,
but Kevin over at Nerd has assured me he's gonna be fine
so for now, we'll just go ahead
and soak him for the next half hour or so.
Go ahead buddy.
There you go sweetheart.
You love the water don't you.
Hey Eric, have you ever seen
a monitor lizard eat eggs by any chance?
- No, I haven't. I know they do it though.
- [Man] That's right!
- It's like enrichment.
You can bury 'em in there and they'll dig for 'em.
- I honestly have never fed a monitor eggs,
other than mixing in with like turkey
and stuff like that, but never a full egg.
You wanna go and see if Elvis will do it?
- Heck yeah!
- [Man] Let's go do it.
- He'll do it!
- [Man] Let's do it.
Come here Elvis. You want an egg?
Here have an egg.
(jazzy instrumental music)
- [Eric] Oh ho ho! Yes! Oh! Yes!
- [Man] Whoa! What?
(people laughing)
- [Man] Holy Moly!
- [Eric] They're egg eaters! Oh! Oh!
(group cheering and laughing)
- [Eric] What happened?
- [Amanda] What the heck?
- [Woman] Give him another one!
(people laughing)
- [Man] Here Elvis, here. Come on!
Come on out. Come on out.
- [Eric] Dude that was sweet! Did you guys see that?
- [Man] Come on out.
There you go.
(jazzy instrumental music)
- [Eric] Oh my gosh.
- [Man] You cracked the egg.
(egg crunching)
(people laughing and talking)
- One more egg Elvis. Here you go.
Come on. Come on. One more.
(jazzy instrumental music)
(egg shell cracking)
(people laughing)
- Dude! That was awesome!
That one cracked huh?
- That was absolutely, I am going to more often.
That was so cool!
Elvis you're so awesome! Good job buddy!
- You guys know that I get excited
about the most silly things.
I am excited because Eagle the tool company
actually sent me this leaf blower.
Now I had visited my buddy Dan,
who does like a bunch of tool stuff,
and myself and Paul Cuffaro actually use these leaf blowers
and put 'em behind us on skateboards
and we got like 30 miles an hour
just from the pressure of this.
So Dan reached out to the company and said,
"Could you send Brian a leaf blower?"
So this thing is amazing!
I mean, look at the battery pack on this thing!
It's absolutely crazy!
I mean literally, when it comes to leaf blowers,
and I am not an expert on leaf blowers,
but when it comes to leaf blowers,
this was like the most powerful leaf blower ever seen
so I'm gonna plug this sucker in, charge up the battery.
Yeah, I think I might go attack Eric?
What do you think?
We're gonna try to feed Argemis Prime a couple small eggs
like this, but how do you think
I'm gonna get it in the cage?
- I don't know.
- [Man] Without him attacking me?
- Just roll it slightly.
(mumbles)
- Easter egg things, that you know, you dunk in there.
It fits right on in and just set it down in there.
- Alright, so the trick is as soon as he sees me,
he's thinking he's getting fed and I don't know,
I don't want him to like jump at me obviously.
I want to see what he does so we'll see.
Maybe I'll just roll it right into
the corner or something like that.
Okay, here we go.
(keys jingle and lock slides)
(people talking and laughing)
- [Eric] He's so funny!
(jazzy instrumental music)
(people laughing)
(egg cracking)
- [Man] It is so into it!
I can't believe these monitors love eggs!
It's so crazy!
Oh my! Oh my gosh!
(egg shell crackling)
- [Eric] OH!
(egg shell cracking)
(jazzy instrumental music)
(people laughing)
- [Eric] This is so cool!
- [Man] Andrea you got some clean up here at Argo's cage.
- No, no.
(people laughing)
- Our fun means more work for Andrea. (laughs)
- 'Kay you guys ready?
Got the leaf blower, let's go get Eric.
(leaf blower starts up)
(leaf blower drowns Eric out)
(leaf blower powers down)
- [Man] Take a look at this thing.
- Dude this things badass!
- [Man] Isn't that crazy!
- Oh my gosh!
- [Man] Give that sucker a try!
You gotta hit the turbo on top.
(leaf blower revs)
- Turbo on there! I could use one of these.
(mumbles)
- Isn't it great (mumbles)?
- That's pretty sweet!
Where'd you get this from?
- [Man] Actually, Eagle sent it to me,
man, they just sent me one.
Isn't it awesome?
- Dude! This is pretty sweet!
This'll make sweeping the shop a lot easier! Yeah!
Oh my God! (laughs)
- I may have declared this a fun day,
but Laurie still has to work.
- Fun day?
- [Man] Yeah, I declared today a fun day.
- I didn't get that memo.
- [Man] I know, you havta still work.
You havta do the alligator tank,
so what do you havta still do? (laughs)
- I call BS, is what I call! (laughs)
- [Man] No you can have fun later.
After you're done working you can have fun.
- Oh, oh, okay. (laughs)
- [Man] Are you almost done with this though?
- I don't know.
I feel like every time I get close,
you make bigger messes that I have to clean up.
- I know, I'm a little crazy with the foam.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Yeah, it makes my life real hard. Real hard.
- [Man] Is that all you have to do?
If you just notice, we actually put some stuff up here
just to hide the lights over here so you have to seam that
and then you havta just work on this piece here.
- Yeah, which is a big, big mess I have to figure
(laughs) how to clean up, but whatever, it's on my list.
- So I'm gonna let Laurie get to work,
and I'm gonna go and continue to have fun.
Look it Tazzie! An Egg!
What do you think? (laughs)
What do you think buddy?
Ohp!
I'll hold it for ya.
(jazzy instrumental music)
Oh God they love it! They really do!
(people laughing)
- [Man] Tazzie!
- [Woman] He's like, "Ya know what..."
- [Man] Where ya going?
- [Woman] Oh he's taking it home.
- [Man] You gonna take that home?
(people laughing)
- [Eric] I think he's gonna go sit on it,
see if it'll hatch. (laughs)
(mumbling)
- [Man] Sit on it, see if it hatches! (laughs)
(mumbling)
(egg shell cracks)
(people laughing)
- [Woman] He's so gentle.
- [Man] Where are ya goin'? Taz?
This is where the stuff is; over here!
- I love that lizard!
- He's too cute!
- [Eric] He is so funny!
- [Man] Look at him in there!
He's just, like, hangin' out.
- So Tazzie was like, it's so funny, he was just so gentle.
He didn't wanta crack the egg.
Now he's just eatin' the shell in the back over there.
I'm gonna leave this here for him,
I would assume he's gonna come back and
probably like to eat this, I'm assuming.
If not, Andrea can pick it up.
- Yup, I got it guys.
- That is just, I mean, this was awesome!
- Dude! Next is Bowser!
- He can't! Bowser isn't eating no egg!
You hold that one!
(people laughing)
- [Eric] This was so cool!
- That was pretty epic!
Lizards eating eggs!
Guys I swear to gosh I am not getting paid
to endorse this product or anything.
They just sent it to me.
I promise you, this isn't a brand deal.
But even look at this, this is awesome!
(leaf blower blowing)
Talk about cleaning up the rack, super easy!
Oh my God! I'm gonna mess with this thing all day long.
Ah thank you Eagle, this was awesome!
Yup, an Laurie is still working on our day of fun.
About time to have fun for you, okay?
- We're getting a bottle of wine?
- [Man] No, no, no. You've just got a few more hours of work
and then you can have fun.
(both laughing)
- Just let (laughs) no we're about to wrap up,
but I did want to show you guys this.
Look at how cool this is!
It's the little finishing touches that
are starting to come together.
Laurie's putting up plants over here,
obviously she finished the gator tank, it's 100% done now.
She seamed all this stuff, everything looks really good
so the gator tank is ready for filtration,
and then of course, yes, gators, and again,
I love the fact that we are starting.
This is what all cage stuff is gonna look like.
It just gives it that super finished touch.
We're gonna have QR codes also on all of these cages
like this, that way when you come in,
you can use your phone and you can search that QR code,
and find all about Bella and rhinos iguanas,
in every single cage so we're super excited about that too.
So again slowly making progress.
There's always so much to do, but it's so great to
be slowly chippin' away at that list.
(leaf blower blowing)
Yeah I feel like I haven't spent enough time at BHB.
I don't know if you guys like that or don't like it.
More time at the Reptarium?
Let me know in the comments what you guys think as far as,
do you want me to split time a little bit?
I still love BHB, I'm still very integrally involved,
just find myself over at the Reptarium vlogging a lot more.
As a matter of fact, speaking of the Reptarium,
you guys are watching today, which means that we're open
tonight and the next couple days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
For us, it's the day before,
if you guys get the idea because of how I vlog.
Regardless, RJs definitely gonna be making an appearance
this weekend, we'll bring him over.
He's just absolutely amazing.
And the thing I find really interesting is that
when he was with Bowser in here,
he spent almost all his time outside of the pond.
Now that we moved Bowser over to the Reptarium,
RJ typically stays in the water,
which makes me think that maybe
he didn't like sharing his pond with Bowser.
So anyway, we're still working with RJ a lot.
He's absolutely amazing!
Oh! And, by the way, Sunday at 6 o'clock,
if you come to the Reptarium, we've got a friend of mine
whose bringing some falcons, like red-tailed hawks
and a bunch of things like that.
So if you wanted to get a picture with a bird of prey,
come to the Reptarium at 6 o'clock on Sunday.
(leaf blower blowing)
While we're at BHB, we might as well talk
about ball pythons a little bit.
It is almost the ball python breeding season
and we have a ton of new, really amazing ball pythons
to breed this year.
This happens to be a bamboo Mojave fire cinne woma.
That's right, that's a lot of (mumbles)
Look at how frickin' awesome that is!
This male should be up to size
and be able to breed this year,
but there are tons of new animals that we have.
I am really looking forward to this breeding season.
But there's plenty other snakes, not just ball pythons,
that are about to go into the breeding season.
Take a look at this savu python.
Oh my gosh! We produced these two years ago,
and then this year, the females took a year off.
I think that they have great body weight.
I mean, just take a look at how awesome they look,
so they should definitely be primed
and ready to breed this year.
These guys hatch out nice red and beautiful animals,
and, again, they're kind of an interesting smaller python
that a lot of people really don't know much about,
and hardly anyone keeps so I am super excited about these
and everything that we're about ready
to start breeding over here at BHB.
Noah and Eric have been trying to, like,
blast things outta the leaf blower
for the last, like, half hour.
- Yeah, it's not goin' too well.
- He literally, he was, he tried to pelt them with an egg.
- [Eric] Can you believe that? And a melon!
`- (laughs) And a melon!
Thankfully it didn't work, but if you wanna check it out,
you can go watch it over on Noah's channel.
Good work Noah.
Way to be a good influence. Bad choices.
And with that said guys,
I think I'm gonna go ahead and end the vlog.
Truth be told, I still haven't been feeling good
and a little under the weather so I'm gonna go ahead
and get out of here a little early today.
Get some rest, eat some chicken soup,
and just try to recover because I definitely need energy
for this weekend with the Reptarium.
It's gonna be bonkers, it's gonna be awesome!
I cannot wait, but I definitely need a lot of energy
so with that said, I am gonna wish you adieu,
and hope that you have an amazing day,
evening, whenever you happen to be watching.
As always, your support means the world to me
and I truly do love you guys so much.
Can you do me a couple favors before we get out of here?
Can you smash that like button,
turn those post notifications on,
make a comment so I can read about you
cause I love readin' about you guys,
make sure to be kind to someone, and I promise,
I will see you guys tomorrow.
