- I can't even get this thing out of the cage.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Take a look at (oohing).
Oh my gosh, they're just beautiful.
It's takin' pops at me left and right for sure.
- Kinda think that I wanna straight up punch you
in the face. - I don't get it.
- Jay actually saw it for the first time yesterday
and he's like what is that?
- They were destroying everything
and, like, rippin' the bed up and.
- Seven outta eight eggs actually came out clown.
Hey, good morning everybody
and welcome to the vlog.
I am actually gonna get my day started
with a little habituation of this Burmese python.
Now, this Burmese python was actually supposed to be tame.
Someone dropped it off to us
but you can see that this thing is,
what the heck is goin' on here?
Come on, what is goin' on?
I can't even get the,
I can't even get this thing out of the cage.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
All right, all right, come on, come on.
Okay, all right.
Sometimes if you just get 'em under there, they'll.
This thing is crazy.
I don't think I've ever had this much problem
with a snake before.
Come on, little monkey, come on.
Had to resort to the stick real quick.
The thing with this animal is,
is that we brought it over here
and the thing just lights people up constantly.
As soon as you open up the cage
it just wants to bite you
so I'm trying to habituate it back.
And it's not that I think the person
that gave it to us duped us or anything like that.
I think what happened was, when it came here,
it just wasn't as comfortable
as it was in the environment that it was in
and now we gotta get it a little bit comfortable.
I mean, it's hissin'.
I don't want it anywhere near my face,
that's for sure.
But what a beautiful Burmese python.
And that's why I really wanna get this animal tame
is 'cause typically Burmese pythons
are actually pretty good animals
and you can see it's actually doing pretty well right now.
I'm not that concerned about it.
But when I first tried to take it outta the cage,
it was gonna light me up for sure
but you can see, I'm gaining its trust,
I'm just kinda working with it
and that's what it's all about.
I keep saying over and over again,
you take away that food response
and then you take away that trust issue
where they're defensive
and then they become incredibly good animals.
So, rather than going in there and just grabbing it
and potentially getting the animal stressed out
and it kinda not trusting me.
What I'm trying to do is
just give it a really good experience.
And if I can continue to do this,
in no time, I think this animal will be a great ambassador
and that I can actually take it out.
Its name is Bambi by the way.
It's a gorgeous animal
and again it's hissing a little bit
but thankfully, I didn't get bit
so that's a great way to start the day
and hey, why don't we have a great day together?
Got a quick unboxing that I want you guys to do.
I tell ya what, I love these snakes
and I love all kinds of stuff
and we're gonna get some other shipments here
in the next little bit so you don't worry
if you like unboxing 'cause we have
some really cool animals coming in.
I think later this week, if I'm not mistaken.
But this is actually somethin' that we've already unboxed
a bunch of times but it's like I talked about.
Every time ya unbox 'em,
they kinda look different,
they're awesome and stuff like that
and remember, I don't lots of times I don't know,
you guys, that my buddy with all the piebald ball pythons
only had one more shipment of pieds.
Well, they're here, these are the pieds.
And I'm assuming we have low white, high white, mid,
right, I'm not 100% sure.
And guess what, zip tie.
Dang zip tie, my nemesis but now,
you know what's gonna happen
because we have the best family on YouTube,
you guys took care of me
and gave me a little bit of snips
and it really did change my life.
I mean, I'm not kidding you.
This changed my life.
Well, that might be a little bit extreme,
but the point is is that I don't cut my fingers off
with the knife anymore.
So, let's go ahead and take a look at.
Oh my gosh they're just beautiful.
They're absolutely beautiful.
And, yeah, by the way, a bunch of people have asked me,
like, when I throw stuff over my shoulder
what happens to it?
Do I clean it up?
Do I, you know, what goes down from there?
And I always tell people, you know,
I make Eric clean it up.
Yeah, you know, 'cause that's what he's here for, right?
No, the truth is I always clean my own mess up
so stop yelling at me for doing this.
I'm assuming that
these are maybe high white piebald ball pythons.
Not 100% sure because they're not extremely high white.
Just slightly more white than I would say a mid-white
so we'll have to wait to see what happens.
A bunch of really cool babies.
I'm just kinda surveillin' to see if there's any cool marks
on 'em or any smiley faces
or anything like that.
Right now I don't see anything
but look at how gorgeous they are.
It's definitely gonna be a bummer
that we're not gonna be able
to get any more big shipments of pieds.
That doesn't mean that, you know,
we're hatching pieds obviously.
And we're also gonna get some other pieds
from a couple of my friends
but nothing in big shipment-wise
so there might be just a couple pieds here
and there type of thing so anyways,
probably a mid-white bag there.
Maybe, possibly high white.
We'll have to see it 'til we get into these other bags.
Again, there are three bags here
so I'm assuming there's three different color grades
if I am right about that.
But, then again, at the end of the year he may not be able
to separate 'em as much.
Ooh, and I think that I was wrong
about the high white for sure
because take a look at these monkeys right here.
I mean, look at this one right here.
That one is definitely a nice high white animal right there.
This is pretty high white too
so I think this whole bag here.
I'm gonna pull all this paper out here.
I'm just gonna kinda take a look at.
Ooh, I tell ya what,
that is absolutely gorgeous.
There is no doubt piebald ball pythons are just one
of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen,
that's for sure.
And again just kinda looking through,
seein' if there's any really cool patterns.
This one right here has some really amazing patterns
but I don't see any smiley faces
and it's okay, you know,
emoji pieds are really cool
but nevertheless real just pieds are cool in general.
So, one more bag to go, so I think that with that first bag
was probably mid-white.
This is high white.
So we'll see if that last bag is low white
or if this time I'm not gonna get low white ones
in this particular shipment.
Let's see, one last bag, my handy clippers.
All right, tell ya what.
Yep, and I was 100% right.
These are definitely a lower white pied
which is still really cool
and it's not like they're super low white either.
Let's go ahead and pull these guys outta the bag.
There's some really beautiful animals in here
and it looks like there might be a pastel or two, too.
This one looks like a little pastel pied here, possibly.
But, wow, look at that.
This one is definitely the lowest white one right here
but still not bad
and look at the pattern on that, that thing is absolutely,
I mean, look at the stripe.
That thing is crazy cool
and the rest just look really good.
I mean, they're a little bit lower white
but they're not, like, extremely low white.
They're more like, you know,
say a low mid-white or something like that.
Really amazing animals.
We'll go ahead get these guys set up,
we'll see if there's any interesting markings on 'em.
If there is, I'll share it with you guys later in the vlog.
Regardless, last shipment of pieds
for you guys to see
but we got some other great unboxing coming really soon.
You guys wanna see a crazy, cool, impressive snake?
Take a look at this yellowtail cribo.
This is a colubrid snake,
much like Rico the blacktail cribo,
but this is a yellowtail cribo
and the yellowtails actually get a little bit longer.
This guy is in shed here
and I just think they're amazing.
I mean, I always say that if you came across this thing
in the wild and wasn't sure of the animals
in that area, you'd definitely think
that this was a cobra.
Just the way its scales are,
the way that it moves around,
that head shape.
I mean this definitely doesn't look
like a non-venomous colubrid snake.
Now, this particular guy, I might be in better shape
with the fact that it's in shed
because it can't see really well.
'Cause usually, its takin' pops at me left
and right for sure.
It's an absolutely gorgeous snake.
It's gotta be a good seven, maybe seven
and a half foot long.
These guys can get up to eight.
Eight foot plus, for sure,
but again, you gotta be a little careful
with this guy 'cause he's high energy
and he will take the opportunity
to bite you if he wants to.
Most of the time, cribos are absolutely pretty cool animals.
This particular one has just got
a little bit of an attitude.
I just had to show him off
because I think it's absolutely crazy cool.
- What's up, what's up?
- [Brian] I got a question for you guys.
- Oh god, I'm not ready.
- [Brian] What's the different between
an iron man and iron woman?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
- [Brian] One is a superhero and one's a command.
- Iron woman.
- Really, really?
- Iron, one's a superhero. - You kinda think that's funny
'cause I kinda think
that I wanna straight up punch you in the face.
- I don't get it, I don't.
- [Brian] You're like, iron, woman, command.
- Iron clothes. - Oh!
- Exactly. - I'm, yeah, I don't.
- That's not funny and. - I don't agree with that.
- This vlog is takin' a break.
(thumps) - Ow.
Excited to be hatching another baby gargoyle gecko.
What did we get?
- This'll be a little red stripe when it sheds out.
- [Brian] Oh, okay.
- [Jessica] Come on.
- [Brian] Oh, okay, oh okay,
so what's the line on this one?
- [Jessica] This is Elvira Nosferatu.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh that's awesome.
Look at the little guy.
- [Jessica] They made some nice ones last year
so I'll actually show you.
- [Brian] Okay, cool, that's awesome.
- [Jessica] One of their babies.
- Yeah, absolutely.
They're so cute when they're babies.
I tell ya, they're unbelievable.
We have a whole bunch comin'.
You guys know that we're makin' the
whole New Caledonia slash Europlades room
down in the basement under the Reptarium.
It's gonna be absolutely awesome.
So, we're gonna be loadin' up with that
but we have some other yearlings
that are unbelievable that Jessica produced
or that we got.
So, let's just go ahead and look
at a couple amazing gargoyle geckos.
And of course these Tiki geckos are amazing.
This one here that is really all red
is actually what they've called the Deadpool line
and then the other one is a Dracula line
that comes from Tiki Geckos.
I think he has some of the most amazing red geckos
in the business and a whole bunch of other stuff.
I'm a big fan of the stuff he does.
These two females here are definitely gonna be the stars
when we start to breed next year.
I cannot wait to start breeding 'em
into some of our line.
But we have a lot of other geckos as well,
that's for sure,
but these guys are actually even more beautiful
when they're fired up.
Right now they're what they call fired down
which means that they're not as bright
as they usually are.
I tell ya what, these guys are rippers.
And the crazy thing is, I know it's weird,
but, you know, Jessica runs all the gecko stuff
so I don't even really pay attention.
This thing is incredible.
I didn't even know we had this.
- [Jessica] I know, this is one of my favorites
that we've produced.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- This is out of I think a pair of mine
so Morticia and Narilathita.
- Oh my gosh that thing came out great
and you can see once we start pairing them up
with like Deadpool stuff
and the Dracula line, they're gonna be some crazy ones.
That thing is gorgeous.
- Yeah, there's so many different reds they come in.
She's more of a burgundy red
whereas the stuff we got from Tiki's
is like a brighter orange-y red.
- Yes, but still beautiful.
I really hardly ever show this off
and Jay actually saw it for the first time yesterday
and he was like what is that?
Of course this is palmetto corn snake.
It's a recessive mutation of corn snake,
kind of like a cow retic in a corn snake phase.
So, it's really cool.
I love this little girl right here.
We're raisin' this girl up.
Hopefully produce some of these in the future.
Really cool but unlike the cows that are born white
and then get their spots as they get older,
these guys are born with the exact same spots
that they're gonna have the entire life.
Almost like, more like a calico
than a cow, really.
But they do really look just like a cow retic
in a corn snake body.
And another one.
- Another one.
- [Brian] That is crazy.
- I love the reds.
- [Brian] Oh my god, now this is a male right?
- [Jessica] Yeah, this is a, one of the males we got
from Tiki's Geckos.
- [Brian] Oh, so this is a Tiki guy?
Is this the Red Blotch, is that what they call this one?
- [Jessica] Yeah, the red blotch.
- Exactly, you can definitely see,
wow that's gonna be cool.
Again, you can imagine maybe pairin' this one up
with Dracula or Deadpool, oh my gosh.
- They'd make a nice pair, like,
some stripes and blotches.
- [Brian] Oh my god, that is so.
- [Jessica] Good pairing.
- [Brian] Oh my god, I guess so.
That's awesome.
- Oh, dude, I had a weird dream
and it wasn't anything weird, it wasn't weird,
it's wasn't like, you know, we were on each other
or anything, okay?
- [Brian] What the heck are you talkin' about?
- 'Cause, you know, your people say dreams and, you know.
Anyways, I had this dream, I'm with Brian,
we're on the road, like everyone's there.
- He's pretty low temp right now.
- I do feel funny.
Maybe this is a dream, I don't know.
But I had a dream, we were all there
and we were, like, at hotel
'cause we were travelin' back to BHB
Brian had five monkeys, dude, five of 'em.
- Five monkeys.
- But I couldn't even tell ya what kind of monkeys
they were, they were
the weirdest little ugliest lookin' monkeys.
And they're. - Were they chunky monkeys?
- Yeah.
Maybe that's what triggered the dream.
They were destroying everything
and like rippin' the bed up
and tossin' stuff everywhere.
I was like what are we gonna do and then I woke up.
- What'd you do? - I woke up.
- [Brian] That was it?
- That was the point
of the dream, bro? - That was it.
- All right, down in the comments,
I'm sure there's people out there that psychoanalyze dreams.
Tell us what this means.
- Yeah, 'cause I was panicking
but everyone else was cool.
I'm, like, how are we gonna pay for this?
- [Brian] Wow, this one's crazy.
It's like, patternless.
- [Jessica] This one's way different, yeah,
so it's pretty rare to get a patternless one.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, that thing,
I've never even seen one like this.
That thing is crazy.
So this is, is just considered a patternless?
Is that what it is?
- Yeah, yep, and she fires up
like a darker color.
She used to fire up completely black
but now it's more of a gray color.
- Oh my gosh that thing is so cool.
I mean, it's the complete other direction
of the reds but absolutely incredible.
So, as you can see,
this is just a few of a lotta gargoyles
that we've raised up for the future
so I'm excited about the future
of workin' with these animals
as well as lychees and everything else, too.
So, and once we get that room goin'
which, by the way, I'll take you guys
on the entire adventure that hopefully starts next week
with building and it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
Iron man and iron woman.
- I couldn't tell ya.
- [Brian] One's a superhero and one's a command.
- Command?
- [Brian] Yeah, like iron, woman.
- Huh, one's.
Oh, I get it now.
Sorry it takes me a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's like, that's never gonna die.
- It's not funny.
- [Bearded Man] You sure?
- And I don't think Mary would like that either?
- No, I had Mary at the doctor.
I took a picture of her up on the table
and I said, my dishwasher's broken, so.
(raucous laughing)
- [Blonde Woman] And you're here to tell that story?
- It's a good one, it's a classic.
- Remember when we cut that clown het for ghost
bred to an albino clown clutch?
And we had seven outta eight eggs actually came out clown?
I mean, how crazy.
This is the one actual het right here.
This one's het for clown.
It's also het for albino,
possible het for ghost so it's a double het,
possible triple het animal here
and then everything else in the clutch
was clown and it's just amazing the polymorphism
within the clown gene right?
This is a clown with broad patterning, you know,
really thick pattern which I think is really cool
and then you have ones that are really reduced
like this one here
and then there's stuff all the way along.
Look at how cute they are.
And of course these were actually named clown
by a company called VPI, Vida Preciosa International, down
in Texas and they basically thought
that they look like their heads
have little, like, clown makeup on it.
That was they called 'em clown ball pythons all
those years ago.
And some of these ones are absolutely incredible.
I mean, look at how cool.
This one has, like,
kind of a big old blotching pattern on it.
It's super cool.
And then of course a lot of the clowns
will have kind of a more striping dorsal
like this one right here is super striped all the way down.
Really reduced pattern.
It's absolutely incredible, so,
great odds and I can't wait to raise some of these guys up
and breed 'em back and get some more albino clowns,
some more ghost clowns, maybe even albino ghost clowns
so this was a great odds clutch
and they are absolutely gorgeous.
Today certainly was a mixed bag.
From handling kind of a little bit of defensive snake,
tryin' to get that goin'
to opening up piebalds to checkin' out geckos
and all kinds of other stuff.
I enjoy days like this.
Lemme know in the comments what you think.
Do you like the kinda mixed bag day?
Hey, if you like this video,
here's another video I think you'll like just like it.
Here's an entire playlist if you wanna
just kinda roll through a bunch of my content.
