- Today, I'm gonna show you (upbeat music)
animals you haven't seen yet.
You guys know my girl, Sunrise,
but we actually have two other albino Burmese pythons
that we use for educational shows.
This happens to be Homer.
It's a hypo albino that's het for green.
And then there's Bart, the normal albino Burmese python.
You guys don't know that we're Simpsons fans here, do you?
That's right.
We have three albino Burmese pythons.
Sunrise stays here at the Reptarium.
The other ones are used just for education.
I have been fascinated with these snakes
since I was, like, 16 years old.
This is a D'Albertis python,
what they would call a white-lipped python.
This is actually the northern phase,
which is more of this bronze color.
But look at how gorgeous that animal is.
And then there's the southern white-lipped pythons
that are more black looking.
They don't have that bronze look to 'em.
And these guys can get pretty big,
but I will tell you what,
D'Albertis and white-lipped pythons,
every now and again, get a little bit nippy.
And so far I've come away without any bites.
That's for sure.
But that may end right now.
Hey, Mike! - Mike!
- Yeah, what are we doing?
- Mike, I'm gonna let you handle this snake.
You handle it for the next 10 minutes
without getting bitten,
I'll buy you an ice cream, okay?
- Deal.
- Let's play a little game, guys.
What do you think?
- Oh no. - We're playing.
- We're gonna play a little game called Guess Who?
I'm thinking of a snake that is yellow.
You guys go find it.
- Mandarin Rat Snake
- Lucy?
- He wants the mean one.
He always goes with the mean one.
- Mandarin rat snake.
- Nice try guys, but I'm thinking of a snake
that is yellow and white.
- Lemon Drip.
- Lemon Drop.
- I can't for the life of me
think of another yellow and white snake besides Lemon Drop.
- Come on, come on.
- I have one. Here we are.
- It happens to be Lemon Drop.
- Yeah.
- Bar Jack telekinesis.
- Okay, put your snakes back. On to round two.
Now, I actually showed these guys when I first got 'em
but haven't showed you in a while.
These are the Sanzinia or Madagascan Tree Boas
from Western Madagascar, and hoo-doggy,
are they getting big and absolutely beautiful.
Now the majority of animals
I'm showing you guys today are gonna be
at the expansion of the Reptarium,
so you'll get to know 'em a lot once we expand.
Take a look at this little monkey right here.
We got this a couple months ago.
This is actually an Albino Blue Ice Tegu.
This is definitely an animal that is so amazing.
Super socialized, and we are loving her to death.
I cannot wait to get it over here at the Reptarium full-time
'cuz it's a great animal ambassador,
and what a beautiful Tegu!
You guys remember when we got the Sudan plated lizards.
They haven't quite made it over here to the Reptarium.
They're ready to go, they've passed through quarantine,
and everything like that.
They're such amazing animals.
We're just trying to figure out exactly where
we're gonna put 'em, and that's the prob, right?
We're running outta space here.
We need this expansion to happen so we can have
all these cool animals come over
so you guys can come visit us and see 'em in person.
These guys are wonderful.
- So it's pretty tough going from a couple relaxing days
spending time with the grandbaby to coming back to work.
And I tell you what, it's one of those days.
I literally start the day looking at a baby gecko like this
and it projectile poops all over my shirt and pants.
So that starts my day.
On top of the fact that Brian didn't get me coffee.
- Round two.
I'm thinking of a reptile that is black.
- Toothless
- Ah, Nightmare.
- Toothless. Come here buddy
- Oh Toothless. Yeah I think it's Toothless.
- Mr. Nightmare (evil laugh)
- You got it.
- I happen to love rodents.
Go.
- Everyone's-- - Oh, wait a second. I know.
- That right there. That right there.
See it. You see it right there. That whole thing.
- I happen to be a snake.
- Did you already know my first pick?
- I happen to be a snake.
- I'm not going on this one.
- I thought we're on a new one.
- For sure. That one right there.
- Right? That's my snake.
- Oh man.
- Tony.
- Well guys, I can't believe you didn't get this one.
I think this clue might give it away.
I'm from Mexico.
- Oh, Mexico.
- How do we not think of that?
It's literally called the Mexican Black King Snake.
- Mexican Black King Snake.
- So, we all got that one then, right?
- I think Bruce got there first
- It was a race?
- I am the winner.
- Now, this is one unusual animal here.
This of course is a Mata Mata turtle.
These guys come from the Amazon,
and they look like leafs at the bottom of a river.
We got that little tiny nose
and that big smiling face right here.
These guys can literally sometimes get
up to 30 to 36 inches.
This one is getting on its way, but in the new place
we'll have a thousand plus gallon terrarium just for him.
It's gonna be absolutely incredible.
These guys are wonderful.

Take a look at this chunky monkey right here.
This is actually a blood python but
a T-negative Albino Blood python.
An absolutely wonderful animal, thick-body snake.
These guys can also get six foot or so, really heavy body.
Just an absolutely wonderful snake.
I love this thing to death.
Again, an animal that cannot wait to get back over here.
A very interesting boa.
This is actually what they call a Hog Island boa.
What makes these guys so interesting is
they only come from a very small island chain
off the coast of Honduras.
Actually come from Cayo Mayor and Cayo Menor and that's it,
and basically comprise
only of about two square miles of space.
All the hog island boas are literally
only in about a two mile square area
on this little chain of islands,
making them very interesting.
I absolutely love these guys.
And typically their temperament is great
and they are typically a smaller boa as well.
And then we actually have the bigger boas.
Of course the Columbian boa.
But this is actually what they call a Sunglow Sharp boa,
which is a hypo boa, which is
incomplete dominant bred to recessive.
I know it's a confusing thing,
but the recessive is the albino
and it's actually the Sharp strain albino.
There's two strains of albino, Kahl and Sharp,
that are incompatible with one another.
This one is a beauty. Look at that tail right there.
This guy is a beast and he is strong.
And then last with the boas I'm gonna show you today
is actually what they call an Eclipse boa.
Now this is actually the Columbian boa.
The bigger boa has spread to a Sonora boa,
and it's a leopard bow.
Now the Sonorans actually stay much smaller,
five, six foot.
The Columbians, of course, can get eight to 10 foot.
But this is the combination of a Motley Colombian
bred to a Sonoran leopard and, oh my God, this is amazing.
Those jet black eyes, that's why they call 'em Eclipse.
I am a lizard.
- These the worst tanks in the world.
- Nova! - Nova!
- You guys are all picking Nova?
- Right there.
- I said, Bella
- Literally looking at us as we speak.
- I happen to be an Iguana
- All right Albino
- Specifically the yellow.
- I choose you.
- I pick Bella. She's all the way back here.
- I love veggies.
- It's an Iguana
(indistinct)
- Tabasco.
- It's my boy.
- I'm not opening that right now.
Whoa, hi buddy. So aggressive. So nice.
- Guess what it was Tabasco.
So Mike has one. Bruce has one. Noah has one.
Last round, whoever wins this, gets it all.
And then there's a leucistic Colombian rainbow boa,
a solid white rainbow boa.
That thing is an absolute ripper for sure.
Of course, these are the Columbian strain,
which are the more brown ones.
The Brazilians are that bright red, right?
But without any color, being leucistic,
it really doesn't matter.
This is an absolute ripper.
Another cool Colombian rainbow boa.
This is actually an albino Colombian Rainbow boa.
This is what they would call a T-negative.
So it's Hidrosis negative.
And it's basically got those pink eyes.
Absolutely beautiful lack of all black pigment
which is called melanin.
Phew this monkey almost got ya.
And then there's the T-positive albino Columbian rainbow boa
which basically just means that it has plus tyrosine, right?
So it's still an albino.
It's still lacking a bunch of that black pigment.
That's called melanin, but it has enough
of it to give it that brown purplish look really
cool. Albino for sure.
- Got the Kevin uncurly spin,
(indistinct) but did you already get bit or something?
Dude it's eye's green.
I want the good one. Not the cheap one.
Want that Magnum.
Oh, did you musk?
Do you wanna hold the tail?
Not that bad (laughs)
So the southerners are just darker
than the northern really?
- Now I have to go through the adult colubrids,
which is fine, except for the fact that I don't
know why every single one wants to bite me today.
Like seriously, I don't need this crap.
- Of course you guys have seen Chicken Strip
the albino nile monitor before,
but I haven't him out in the blog in a while.
So I figure he's an animal that you don't see very often
and look at how big this animal is getting right here.
It's absolutely incredible.
And he's actually mellow.
Once you get him out the cage he calms down.
Getting him out, that's another story.
- [Noah] Got a hell of a grip on him.
- It's fighting you, Noah.
- [Noah] Whoa.
Oh (shouts in shock)
- Okay, I'm backing up.
Look at that
- Dude, you almost hit me in the face.
(reptile thrashing)
- (zookeeper) Oh God.
The problem is (shouts)
- Don't touch him Mike
- [Mike] I'm not gonna do anything.
- Don't come close.
- I happen to be a snake.
- God dang it.
- Ivy.
- Cupcake.
- These are horrible.
- It's all about trying to find it.
- Ivy.
- This big guy right here.
She's a little heavy from me so
- El Toro.
- I come from Southeast Asia.
- Barron.
- The hundred flower rat. Absolutely.
- I don't even know if this Southeast Asia.
- I'm gonna go Sunfire.
- Gemma.
- I can get 20 foot plus.
- Which reaching is it though? Butterscotch.
I'm choosing butterscotch.
Hi Butterscotch.
- Oh over 20 feet already.
- So it's not Lucy.
I'm still going Sunfire.
- We don't have any King cobras.
- I have white pattern on me.
- The girl Beta for sure.
- I'm going Sunrise.
Southeast Asia, over 20 feet, and white.
- I'm going Pickles.
(man laughs)
Pickles.
- I'm named after ice cream.
- Oh, Neapolitan
Neo.
Turn her in.
- That's right.
It was Neo, reticulated Python.
So in our first Guess Who game?
Mike is a champion.
- Way to go Mike.
- Oh, and then has ice cream in it. Boy yah
- And then there's basically the poop emoji snake here.
This is actually the Indian smooth scale sand boa
Just a really interesting sand boa.
It's the largest of all of the sand boas.
As these guys can hit literally three, three-plus foot.
They're really wild.
When they're born, they're really orange.
They have black bands. They're really beautiful.
And then when they get older,
they get kind of a little bit more dulled.
You know what I mean?
But they're still absolutely amazing.
So there's some animals that you haven't seen yet.
Good job Mike.
- Oh, $20 bucks. Yeah
Here's your snake back
- I'll take my $20 back
(all laugh)
- See what happens when the vending machine
doesn't eat the $20 it gets ripped right back out.
- Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.

"Mike, Mike. Don't let the snake bite me."
