- [Brian] Oh my gosh, look at those eyes.
Oh my gosh, I am so excited about this.
- It's actually going to the bathroom right now.
- [Brian] Whoa! - Yay!
- [Brian] Hey, way to go!
(jazzy techno music)
- Hey, good morning everybody, welcome to the vlog.
Remember the other day I cut the last clutch
of Ball Pythons, well sure enough,
they have all hatched out.
And there is some beauties in here for sure.
This is a little Fire Spider Ball Python here.
I just love the way that fire gene brightens things up,
cleans it up.
And then there's a whole bunch of other,
really cool little babies in here.
Of course, this was the only 3-gene that hatched out.
It was actually a Fire Bee, which is a Pastel,
a Fire and a Spider.
And then just a whole bunch of other stuff.
We got some Fireflies here.
We've got a couple Pastels,
and some other odds and ends.
So these guys are going over and guess what?
The incubator is being shut down, that's right.
The BHB incubator is shut down for the season,
but like i-a-venture, we're starting to breed animals,
literally next week.
So it won't be long before we get eggs again,
and the cycle starts over,
and it's gonna be a really fun time.
But for now, let's go ahead and shut the incubator down,
get these baby snakes over to BHB
and see what's going on over at The Reptarium.
And we have a busy day over here at The Reptarium,
but I'll start with giving my girl, Bella, some pets.
Hi, sweetheart, how are you today?
Oh my gosh, he's such an adorable little monkey.
How are you, sweetheart?
Again, we are actually open later tonight,
but we have a ton of stuff to do over here.
I have to make a trip to the store in a minute,
because believe it or not,
romaine lettuce I guess has E.coli,
and we use romaine lettuce for people to feed the tortoises,
so I have to go get some like collard greens or kale
or something like that.
So we're gonna do that,
just a lot of little things going on.
And speaking of a lot of things,
things are crazy here at BHB too.
Lori, you got the Black Friday sale going today right?
- Yes we do.
- [Brian] How's that going?
- It's going good, which means very crazy, very busy,
and yeah, just gotta make it through the day.
- I know, I could hear the phone ringing,
and she has a little thing that dings on her phone
when a sale goes off, right?
And all day it's been like, ding ding ding,
it's been absolutely crazy.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] You've been like filling calls
and checking on animals and all that kind of stuff.
- Yeah, no, it's been crazy but, not gonna complain
because it's a good thing.
So, again, just gotta get through the day.
(chuckling)
- And we do appreciate everyone's business.
I gotta ask you Lori, are we doin' Cyber Monday?
- Um, it's bad question for today,
but the chances will be yes.
But, with today,
ask me tomorrow.
- Alright, I'll let Lori get back to it,
'cause I know she's goin' absolutely incredible.
I'm gonna hit the store and get this collard greens
or kale or whatever they have to offer
that'll be good for the tortoises.
And like I mention, it's really weird
that there's some E.coli breakout with romaine lettuce
and they basically pulled it off the shelves
out of every grocery store around.
And again, it's just kind of the perfect sized leaf
for kids to kind of hold and feed the tortoises.
That's why we like it so much.
But regardless, I'll have to go to a more specialty shop
that has stuff like kale, or like I said, collard greens
or whatever.
We'll see what they have there.
Again, just all part of what we do on a daily basis.
The animals always come first,
and certainly when people come through the door,
we want the kids to be able to feed the tortoises as well.
(light jazzy music)
Pretty excited, I got to pick up some dandelion leaves,
they love this, this is a great treat.
And just grabbin' a couple things of kale
and should be good to go,
so back to the Reptarium.
So I have an assistant zoo keeper for the day today.
He's helpin' out here, he's helpin' Bruce,
he's helpin' Jessica.
So I obviously have the dandelion back here,
so I wanna give the tortoises a treat.
These are really really good for 'em.
And I figure I'll give 'em this
before we open up with the Reptarium,
that way when people come in, we can have them feed kale
or whatever, but you ready to feed?
- Sure.
- Okay all you gotta do is jump in and go for it.
Ha-ha, maniac.
Franklin's comin'.
So is this little monkey here.
(light jazzy music)
Just a real quick check in with my girl, Lucy,
after that turkey thing.
Again, I know she was so wore out after, you know,
15 hours of trying to eat.
She's doin' really good, I mean,
she looks fantastic,
she's completely kind of back to normal.
You know, her mouth was a little bit stretched out,
obviously, because it tried to eat that huge meal.
But, she's completely back to normal now.
And as you can see, she's a little bit agitated with me,
as usual, but thankfully she's doin' good.
I'll probably thaw out some rabbits in a couple more days.
Wanna give her a nice big rest, so that she's ready.
I'm sure she's really wore out after that, so.
Okay, Lucy, you're lookin' good, baby.
Little story time, an animal that probably
made one of the biggest impressions on me
when I was younger.
I was nineteen years old and we went down
to the Orlando Expo.
It was the very first big breeders expo in the world.
The very first one, at a place called the Howard Johnson.
Bob Clark had a 15 or 16 foot white Burmese Python,
and I literally spent hours just looking
at that snake in awe.
It was a white snake with black eyes.
I'll be totally honest with you,
looks much more like Casper than now the white Burmese
that are being produced.
With that being said, Ivory Burmese Pythons
are being produced now,
and I think they are absolutely incredible.
And guess what?
Today I've got some friends from Wilcox Reptiles,
that are actually coming, not only to visit the Reptarium,
but we're actually gonna do a trade.
One of Lucy's babies, probably a citron tiger,
for a little white Ivory Burmese Python.
Oh my God, I am so excited.
(light jazzy music)
(light chatter)
Told ya, Toothless is kickin' in.
I am so happy he's eating like a pig.
I told you guys today,
things were gonna be absolutely incredible.
Course my friend, Low-ee is in town.
Low-ee, thank you, and welcome to the Reptarium.
- Thank you for having me.
I was just telling Brian.
Have you guys seen this?
Have you been watching the vlogs?
This is insane.
Like, I watch your vlogs because I'm a fan,
but like, this is crazy.
I am so excited to be here.
I'm so excited to see everything.
- Ah, it's awesome.
Well, I can't wait to show you around.
Again, we're open in about a half hour or so,
so we got some things goin'.
And my buddy, John from Chicago's gonna be here,
about that Burmese Python,
so we're gonna have a great time today.
Let me show you around.
- Yay, thank you.
- And then Sandy continues.
Of course you guys remember Chip, my nephew over here.
My family came in.
You, the first time you've been here too, right?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Oh my God, what do you think?
- I think it's awesome.
- That's cool.
Well, Chip loves reptiles.
You have a Bearded Dragon, what's his name again?
- Chubs.
So he has a Bearded Dragon.
He's a reptile lover.
Of course, my sister, and uh, how are you, sir?
How's things goin', man?
It's good to see you guys.
- Pretty good.
Nice place here, man.
- I think it's amazing.
This will be a good educational resources.
- [Brian] I know, right?
- For schools.
- And she knows, 'cause she's a educator.
So she knows all about education.
So, it's awesome that you guys made it here.
I am so happy.
But, guess who else showed up?
My buddy from Wilcox Reptiles.
What's up, John, how are you, dude?
- Good, how are you?
- How's things goin', man? - Good.
- How's it goin, hey, how are you, man?
- Good, how are you?
Oh, oh, look at what they brought me.
Oh my gosh!
- [Woman] Aw, it's a present.
- I told you guys I was obsessed with white Pythons,
especially, I saw Bob Clark had us-sis-tic Burmese,
back, way back in the day before, it never produced.
But, I've always wanted one.
And I've talked to you at the shows about having one.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- So it's amazing.
John brought me this beautiful animal.
Oh my gosh, look at those eyes.
Oh my gosh, I am so excited about this.
Dude.
- You're welcome
- This frikkin', this is,
dreams do come true.
- Yes they do.
- [Brian] Dreams do come true.
Oh my gosh, that thing is so incredible.
Low-ee what do you think?
- Oh my god, oh, it's so freakin' pretty.
- [Brian] I know, can you imagine,
this thing's one day gonna be like 18 foot.
- God, that is so cool,
do they stay this kind of lighter shade?
Or do they yellow out?
- Yep, they're gonna be really white
and then like the head is gonna be more yellow
down the spine.
She's actually going to the bathroom right now.
- [Brian] Whoa! - Yay!
- Hey, way to go, thank you.
Something quick in the mail that I wanted to unbox
for you guys.
It says animal-like, so it's gotta be pretty awesome.
I've been getting a lot of stuff from you guys.
I really really appreciate it,
and I'm sorry that I don't always open on the vlog.
Again, I feel like it might be boring to some of you.
Let me know in the comments if you want me
to open more of it,
because I absolutely get excited every time
you guys send somethin'.
This one is actually from Lee-Ann Polk
down in Garland, Texas.
Of course that's where Universal Rocks is from.
So, let's go ahead and open this up
and see what is going on in here.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this.
Is this frikkin' epic or what?
Oh my gosh, it's a two-headed snake skeleton.
Of course, it's just rubber, it's not real.
But this is frikkin' epic.
Lee-Ann, thank you.
Oh, and I think that you had a note in there,
so I'm gonna read that in a second.
But, regardless, thank you.
I just wanted to do this quick unboxing.
Alright, lets's get back to work.
(light jazzy music)
I get such a kick out of Sammy.
Literally, he just sits there
and tries to get into this container right here
that of course has the Mazuri Tortoise chow.
And he just sits there and tries to get into it.
So every time I walk by I give him some.
That's probably why he's gettin' so big.
He is definitely way bigger than Speedy now,
and they used to be the same size.
But this guy is a little pig.
(jazzy horn music)
Hey guys.
Hi, how are you guys?
Hi, guys.
Come on in, come on in.
Thanks, guys.
Hi, hey, how are you?
- Hello.
- [Brian] How's it goin'?
Good to see you guys.
Hi, how are you? - Hi.
- Oh my gosh, how's it goin', guys?
As always things are poppin' here at the Reptarium,
had some fun with Low-ee and my family
and all kinds of stuff.
Been an absolutely incredible night so far,
but hey, it's still early.
We got a long way to go,
and we've got some cool people that have come in to visit.
So as always, we love it.
Look at these guys.
Oh my God, they're amazing.
Hi.
- Hi camera!
- I think it's so cool that we're able
to start taking Chicken Strip out.
I mean, look at how good he's doing?
I mean, he's gettin' amazing.
Again, that's hours and hours and hours
of workin' with him.
When you first take him out, he's definitely squiggly,
he might even try to bite you a little bit,
but once you have him out,
you can see how unbelievably docile he becomes.
And again, I'm just super excited that he's getting better
like that, so you know, when he gets four or five foot,
hopefully he'll be dog-tame and we can take him out,
'cause he is such an incredible animal.
- Hi, you're adorable.
- Little time out with Daisy.
- Sweet girl.
(light jazzy music)
- Hoo, doggie, that was a crazy day.
Not only were we unbelievably busy at the Reptarium,
but the BHB Black Friday sale went crazy.
Lori was going out of her mind today.
So thank you guys for,
whoever joined the Black Friday sale,
got animals, did whatever,
your support is amazing.
And thank you for everyone that came
to the Reptarium tonight
'cause it was absolutely incredible.
I hope that you enjoyed the vlog today.
And as for now, I am just gonna end it
and wish you an amazing day, evening,
whenever you happen to be watching.
As always, I don't have to say this,
but you know, that your support means the world to me
and truly love you guys so much.
