- Hey, good morning, everybody.
And welcome to the vlog Reptile Army.
Hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
You guys may not know this but I love TikTok,
I am on TikTok @BRIANBARCZYK, by the way.
And I just watch it all the time,
it's just such a cool thing.
So I thought today we'd have a little bit of fun.
I'm gonna get Noah and Lori
and we're gonna kinda react
to some just crazy reptile TikToks.
So it should be a good time,
don't know how it's gonna go.
So let's just go ahead and roll that clip.
For the first video here is actually our friend,
Kevin McCurley's place at NERD.
Have you ever seen this Lori? - [Noah] I saw this one.
- No.
(all laugh)
- Oops, and I think he said before,
I think if I'm not mistaken
He said before like, "Oh the snake really knows me."
(Lori laughs)
- He said, "I'm a snake expert."
Watch. - Yeah, yeah, listen.
(Kevin mumbles)
(all laugh)
Oh, yup, not a professional.
- He got bit right in the chest.
- Oh my God, that was a good one.
And that video crushed it.
I remember when that came on, it was like ridiculous stuff.
So good on you for having the snake professionals,
work for you Kevin.
- Yeah, it dropped him right there.
(both chuckle)
- All right next up.
- Oh, we know her.
- She's Desiree.
(Lori groans)
(all groan)
- I feel their pain so bad
that hurts, that hurts.
- Has that happened to you before?
- I can't tell you how many times
that I've like been feeding a snake and like, drop a rat
and I pick it up and I step on and the snake's like, wham.
Bites me in the face or almost bites me in the face.
So I can feel her pain so poor Desiree,
our friend over at Cold Blooded Cafe,
got groaned on that one so...
- All right, let's see what we got next next.
- What we got next?
(Noah groans) - Another one from Kevin.
Why is he doing that? - What is that?
- I don't know this guy's got problems.
- Oh my gosh, eww.
(all chatter)
- Do they have water repellent skin?
- Yeah, he's like, the blood's dripping on his head
and it's just coming off so that--
- Those things are devil's spawn.
(both chatter)
- So I'm assuming that that's the way Kevin--
- [All] Tames them.
(Lori chuckles)
- There's no such thing as a tame tokay.
- There are tame tokays that one, not so much.
So good job, Kevin.
- That's crazy, let's see what we got going next.
- I like this one.
- Oh my gosh, it's a snake.
- Is that his nipple or his arm?
- Oh God, that was his nipple.
- What?
- But I think it might be his arm.
So it's like a snake
and he's laying in bed naked apparently.
- I think Moses came back from the dead.
- Oh my gosh, it's a snake, I love these things.
- Wow, he's bad ass, he just said--
- I don't even know what I'm watching.
(all chatter)
- I thought it was like, on his chest and bit his nipple
but now that I think it was actually his arm.
So it's not as extreme.
- Why does he, there's so many questions.
Why was he in bed naked?
Why was the snake at him?
Like, yeah, like with snakes?
Like I just, I don't know, I don't think I want--
- That's the only way to handle.
(both laugh)
All right.
- This is one of ours.
- I remember that day.
(Lori laughs)
You can hear me in the background.
- God, that nose is big.
- It got him on the nose and it would not let go.
This is where we did the mouthwash trick, where--
(Lori laughs)
There's like, blood on his teeth and everything.
- Oh, that was great.
- Which snake was that?
- That was actually a--
(all chatter)
Don't use mouthwash and then try to kiss a snake
because it's a, I guess--
- I'm surprised it didn't work.
- So mouthwash does work, which getting snakes up
but apparently we tried it with this it didn't work
and that would actually even made it on TV
that was bunch of clip shows
and so that's oldie but goodie.
- [Noah] That's funny.
- What do we have here? - I don't know.
- Oh, this is interesting.
Look at this Lori. - Did it eat a blanket?
- It's a carpet python--
- Eating a carpet.
- Eating a blanket.
(man chatters)
This guy actually has a show on TV on Nat Geo in Australia.
So it's a carpet python that's eating a dog blanket.
- I've never seen that.
- Does it just keep eating it or does it spit it out?
- Oh, do you think it smells the dog
and so it's just like...
- Probably--
- So this is a wild snake that got into their house.
- Oh, shut up that's not even--
(Lori laughs)
So a wild snake breaks in
and precedes to eat your dog's blanket.
That's scary as crap because what if it was a small dog
and the dog was laying on the blanket?
- Look at this.
(Brian groans)
Oh, he's angry too.
- Yeah, that was not what he thought it was gonna be.
- That's just a carpet python.
- It's just a carpet python eating a blanket.
- Life is crazy in Australia.
- Yeah. - I know.
- Australia is nuts.
- Somebody said they will protect me from huntsmans,
when we go.
- Oh, don't trust them, there's no protection.
- They said, "We got your back mate."
(both chatter)
- Speaking of crazy crocodile Australians.
- What's that doing?
- Is that a chicken wing for a freaking crocodile?
- Look at this guy, he has like a chicken wing.
- Did he just say "This guy looks pretty friendly."
Is that what he just said?
- I think he did say that, let's see this again.
- That item of food is not big enough either.
- Whoa.
(man chatters)
- All right, though he says,
"Pretty freaking close actually."
- Was he feeding it fingers like--
- He had chicken wings to a 15 foot crocodile.
- Yeah, I'm sorry, when you do that,
you deserve what you get--
- No, they say Florida man but it should be Australian man.
- Yeah, they're pretty--
- They're out of control.
- Absolutely.
- I would do it though.
- I know. - We know.
- Ooh, this is one of ours too.
- We know him. - Bruce.
- God that spider looks huge.
Oh my God, I held that when I was drunk once.
- That's the worst time to hold one.
- Well, it gave me the courage.
- And now look at this, it's on his back
and now he doesn't know to do.
Oops.
- And guess what? You're not grabbing it.
- Who was that?
- [Both] That was Bruce.
- Oh, it was happening to Bruce.
- It was happening to Bruce, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- He was actually speaking quite calmly.
Literally, he was just like, "Oh my gosh."
- That's a giant tarantula.
- Can we get huntsmans here or are they--
- No, you can get huntsman.
- We shouldn't do that.
- No, we shouldn't do that.
- We shouldn't do that. - No, bad idea.
This is cool.
- Whoa, is this time-lapse though?
- Yeah, I think it is a time lapse--
- But it is still cool,
watching him climb up the pole like that.
- That's a little baby D'Albertis python,
climbing up a pole, that's cool.
- Did you see our D'Albertis shed today?
- Did it, look pretty?
- Yeah, it's all the way there.
- Oh, boeleni's.
- Oh, whatever they look the same.
(both chuckle)
- Okay, what do we got?
This is crazy.
- Oh, wow.
Look at how fast that crocodile is swimming.
- What am I seeing?
- [Both] It's a crocodile.
- Where do you see a crocodile, all I see is water.
- Did you bring your glasses.
- No, but I did see water.
- Look, right here.
See that crocodile?
- It just looks like a wave.
(Lori chuckles)
- That's how fast it's going, it's making waves.
- I didn't know they could go that fast.
That is crazy.
- It's going faster than the boat.
- I know that--
- For sure it wasn't just a wave from the boat?
- We can see it.
- Yeah, there's actually a crocodile in there Lori,
you need your glasses.
- That's bad, you can't even see the phone anymore,
it used to be texts.
- Oh my God, it's a 15 foot crocodile, what do we got here?
- [Both] Whoa.
- What is that? That thing's fast.
(man groans)
What kind of lizard is that?
- That's a Jordan Lacerta, ooh, that hurt.
- Looked like it hurt, he was screaming pretty loud.
- He's not now a superhero.
He's got Marvel on him but he's definitely not a superhero.
- That thing, those--
- Those are cool though.
(all chatter)
- Where would you think that was?
- Australia.
- No, no, no, they're not from Australia.
I don't know where that's from that's crazy though.
- I mean, listen, anytime you grab,
something out in the wild, is that where he is?
Like, it's going to bite.
That's how it survives.
(all laugh)
- His reaction-- - Yeah.
(Noah chuckles)
- Oh my God.
And those have, they're like tegu mouths,
I mean, those are bites right there so...
- He's pretty tan, it's probably forest or something.
- For demand.
What do we got here? Ooh, what the heck is that?
Oh, it's a little Jesus Lizard.
- Oh really? - Look at this.
- Why is it such a different color than ours?
- It's a brown, oh my gosh, we gotta do that,
we gotta do that, man, that is cool.
- We can set up like a water slide right here.
- Yeah, and just like, have him run across, that's cool.
That is cool, yeah, that's awesome.
- It looks so pretty compared to (mumbles)
- This is crazy.
This is my buddy, Chris Gillette.
Watch this Lori.
- I know that guy.
- Watch this.
- Let's prove it right now.
Casper come.
- Look at this, would you do this Lori?
Look at how it's, when it gets up to him.
- There you go big fella.
- Well, what the hell?
- All right so there you go.
- Now watch, he'll go up to his face.
- Does he actually know the words, yes, he does.
I could have a full conversation with somebody else.
Talk, talk, talk the whole time,
he obviously hears me, he knows it's my voice,
he knows it's me talking and he doesn't respond to it,
until I actually say his name.
- Watch this, watch.
- Good for him but honestly,
do any of you guys even realize,
like it's just a matter of any of these animals deciding
like, "I don't like you anymore."
Poof, you're gone.
- Chris is the, he is one of the best in the business,
when it comes to these stuff, I mean, he trains--
- Well, I'm sure Chris is but I'm just saying,
do you not realize an animal can make a choice--
- Well, I've seen a lot of videos too where like,
Casper, he would call Casper and this one didn't have it
but it'll come up and it'll touch his face
and then open its mouth.
And actually opens it's mouth just a little bit,
like on his cheek and then--
- It's just a matter of time, like it wants to,
it's almost like, "Mm, so sick of you."
- No, I don't know, man, I wanna do this with Chris.
You can actually go down there
and you have to be behind like, a fence
or something like that.
But you can get in the water with Casper.
You used to be able to do it before him,
now fish--
- I will be behind the fence watching you.
- No, I wanna do it, that's awesome.
Chris is great, that's awesome.
- He doesn't eat him 'cause he's too lean.
He doesn't have enough fat on him.
- He's a vegan.
- That makes sense.
- What do we got here? Ooh, Tyler Nolan.
- Aka Crazy Man.
- He's got the white cobra.
- And 1/2 a finger.
- Whoa, yeah, you always know when you're missing a finger,
probably something hasn't gone right.
- And you rear end that thing.
- Oh my God, that's crazy.
- Look at like the way he reaches in there,
does he not care?
- He knows his stuff though, man.
But look at that, he's just like--
- That's crazy.
- He's just like, "I'm gonna go right in behind here."
- You know the Grimshaw,
touch him with a 20 foot pole that's a beast.
- Wow, what a beautiful snake though.
And it's my nightmare, right?
White Cobra.
- You're night mare.
- Yeah.
- Oh, he kissed him on his, he kissed him.
- Gave him a good old smoochy.
- Oh my gosh, what do you think Lori, would you do that?
- No.
- Look how close he is.
- He just got big balls.
- He had an eye cap.
- Oh, he had to do some surge.
(all chatter)
- Now, it makes sense.
- You gotta kiss him to woo him.
- Now, it makes sense
- To woo him into calmness.
- You know what would I make the video better?
If he ate the eye cap at the end.
- Ah, that would have been good.
- It actually would have been full circle.
- Tyler, next time eat the eye cap.
It was almost the perfect video.
- And you're crazy, man.
Keep it up.
- [Brian] What do We got here?
- Argus, is that a shrimpy. - It's a shrimpy, yeah.
- I gotta feed them some shrimp.
Look at that jump. - Look at his jump.
- [All] Whoa.
- It did like the crocodile swim jump.
- Yeah, in the air.
- That's pretty cool.
- That's a good one.
You guys sure should do that.
- Yeah, Arguses are known to do that.
'Cause we should see how high that would be a fun thing.
- So guys, I hope you enjoyed the reaction of the TikTok,
we love TikTok.
You can obviously check our Brian Barczyk TikTok account.
Reptarium has a TikTok too.
And yeah, let's us know if you enjoyed this,
we'll do some more reactions
and tell us which one of these TikToks,
you think was the craziest and most interesting.
There was some crazy stuff in there.
- There was. - There was crazy stuff,
also tell us your favorite TikTok.
- Yeah, go ahead, hit us up with your TikToks.
- And maybe we'll react to next time.
- You may notice a little mayhem going on
with a bunch of tubs out.
Well, basically while we're doing some maintenance
on Ricky, the albino reticulated python
that used to be over at the Reptarium's enclosure.
It got out and now it's somewhere in between these cages.
I've gotta somehow find him first
and then try to get them out.
This should be interesting.
Yeah, I love going herping
but I don't really like going herping in the basement
over a place where the snake is loose.
And again, we've seen him in a couple of these,
we've pulled out all the tubs from the bottom.
He's not down there and, you know,
he can only be so many places.
So it's gonna be pretty easy to find a 12 foot snake,
oh, there he is.
He's right behind here.
So all we have to do is take these tubs out
and hopefully he's cooperative and not angry like Lucy was.
Well, obviously I found Ricky.
He was actually behind these tubs.
I put these out here and now it's just a matter
of trying to get him out over here.
He's all dirty and he's been in some muck
and stuff like that.
But the good news is, is that he's not biting at me,
which is really good.
But he is so strong, I mean, just even trying,
I mean, look at, he's just like on this edge
and I can't even get him off the edge it's so weird,
it's crazy.
But again, it just goes to show you
that you got to keep an eye on your animals
because we just took our eye off from his holding tub
for just a minute, until we're cleaning, obviously
and he got loose.
Oh my gosh, this is a,
although it was a pain to find him and get him out.
I tell you what?
That could have been a lot worse guys.
You remember when Lucy got out,
when she was 18 foot and angry
and she was right up here, up top
and that was an absolute battle.
At least with Ricky, he's a nice animal, a tame animal
and we've got some shed going on.
So I'm gonna get him in a soak really quick.
I've got his cage all cleaned up, then we can get him back.
But holy cow, I tell you what?
(Brian exhales)
It wasn't really an escape,
it was really just the fact
that we didn't keep an eye on him,
when he was in his holding tub.
But a little mistake like that just cost 1/2 hour
of our day trying to get him found and back out.
So, okay, let's get Ricky back.
Literally, were just talking about the intervention.
(Lori laughs)
Literally, and what's going on with this.
♪ Oh, Christmas tree ♪
- See Jay agrees with me.
- [Brian] Oh, my gosh.
- They were playing Christmas music in the subway today.
- [Brian] What? - See, see.
- Santa's coming to town.
- Oh my gosh.
Well, apparently Halloween decorations down one day,
Christmas tree up the next day.
So, I'm okay.
(all chatter)
Okay, well, good job, way to go, wat to encourage her.
Take a look at this guys.
I just wanted to give you an update on Neo.
Look at how absolutely large she is getting.
She is an absolute beauty.
And now that she's getting a little sized here,
you can see that night fury sheen,
again, it's got the same genetics as night fury,
when it comes to the Motley Golden Child, the black part.
But of course, then it's a Pie retic
and for whatever reason it has red eyes.
We don't know exactly what the reasoning is
because it's not an albino,
it wasn't bred to an albino.
It just was a Motley Golden Child Pie
and it came out with red eyes
but it's got to have doubled its size already.
So now I'm on the hunt to figure out,
where I can put this at the Reptarium
'cause it's about that time,
it's about the size,
where I think people would love to handle it.
So within the next couple of weeks,
we're gonna have to move something off display,
not sure what it's gonna be
and then get Neo over
because this animal is incredible.
And just like Perdita,
this was about the size
that Perdita went over to the Reptarium
and started getting handled constantly.
We want Neo to be the same way, right?
We want this to be like another Perdita,
where when she gets bigger, she's just as docile.
I mean, she is an absolute ripper of an animal
and it's gonna be a great animal ambassador.
- We're doing zoo lights.
I want this whole place lit up.
This, we need way more than this.
- Well, I think that--
- You're giving me a mad interior decorator vibe right now,
I'm loving it, I'm loving it.
(both chatter)
- We'll continue with the ceiling
but also like, start after that,
wrap like the trees--
- Noah, all of this, is lights everywhere.
- I know.
- You guys are crazy.
(group chatters)
All right, I'm gonna see you guys after January 1st, man.
I'm outta here.
(all chatter)
You're on their side.
(group chatters)
Oh, no.
- I think I need is to talk to the bank and get a loan.
(group chuckles)
- Christmas light loan. - Light loan.
- [Brian] Do you want to be seen by a satellite?
- [All] Yes, yes.
- That's exactly what we're trying to do.
- Elon, hit us up.
- Listen, Elon Musk,
if you just so happened to be watching this,
just cut us a little check for a couple of Christmas lights,
we love you.
- He can help us with also being seen from space.
- Oh my gosh.
You know, baby snakes hatching out.
We actually had that one Pinstripe
that was to the Silver Streak Bamboo Woma
that hatched out.
And there's some really interesting stuff.
This was that Lemon Blast
that just had a really peculiar pattern for a Lemon Blast.
Again, just a pass on the Pinstripe
but I don't really know why the pattern is so unique.
Then of course, there is this animal
that I really am blown away with
because theoretically it should be,
a Pastel Black Pastel Pinstripe, maybe Woma.
But the truth is, is that this animal here,
is actually a Pastel Black Pastel Pinstripe Woma.
So why do these two animals look so radically different?
So there must be some gene going on in that animal
that just makes it look so cool.
Nevertheless, really cool.
And then we just have a Black Pewter,
which is a Pastel and a Black Pastel
but nevertheless,
really excited about these two animals here
because they were just so unique
and we actually have one more collected hatched out as well.
And there were some heat in this one.
This was actually a Lemon Blast Orange Dream bred
to a Stinger Bee Orange Dream
and just some beautiful animals here.
We actually have a Pastel Super Orange Dream.
I mean, look at how clean that animal is.
That's Super Orange Dream stuff,
just absolutely clean stuff up and makes it look amazing.
But we have here is just a Fire Orange Dream,
which again is just two incomplete dominant animals.
Again, the Fire gene can make the black eyed Lucy's
but the Orange Dream,
just makes it look really beautifully clean.
Then we have some really amazing animals here.
So this is actually a Pinstripe.
It's a Pastel and it's a Super Orange Dream.
I love it, and it could potentially be a Fire as well,
to be totally honest with you,
a little hard to tell what that one.
Then we have this animal here, which is cool.
This is actually just a Fire Spider Super Orange Dream
that is super, super reduced.
I mean, I love the Orange Dream stuff
and I'm glad that we're finally producing a bunch of it
and next year will be even better.
So I tell you, we still have maybe five, six clutches
to hatch for the year and then we are done for the season.
But it's amazing to see these babies.
I hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
Let me know if you want us to do more TikTok reactions.
We had an absolute blast doing, if you enjoyed this video,

Have an absolutely wonderful day Reptile Army.
Remember be kind to someone
and I promise, I'll see in the next one.
