- Take a look at Jazz.
I mean, it looks like, it's so bizarre.
It's like Cali coed out, right?
Look at all of these weird dots all over it,
that look like almost a different snake.
Like almost a little bit of raised scales.
Now I actually have seen this
a couple of times with Anacondas.
The first time I saw it, I really was freaked out.
I was actually with Ariana and I actually was like,
what is wrong with her and stuff like that.
For whatever reason, every now and then,
especially with an animal like Jazz,
that really likes to spend 99% of it's time in the water.
When they go into shed,
it's like their scales raise just a little bit,
like kind of all over their body, just before that shed.
Now he actually went through that opaque stage,
now is in the clear stage.
And basically that's how snakes work.
They go opaque, that's that bluish tint to them,
has that lotion that's between the epidural top layer
and the second layer of skin.
That basically, it gets absorbed into the outer layer.
That basically just moisturizes that outer layer.
So that way you can actually shed it off really good, right?
Well also with him being in the water,
he's super moisturized as well.
So sometimes you'll get these raised scales.
that almost look like Calico or something like that.
The truth is, he's probably gonna shed today,
tomorrow by the latest.
And he'll look completely back to that green
and kind of darker in color like he always is.
But I know some people come in and go, wow,
that's the weirdest looking Anaconda I've ever seen.
And again, I've seen it with some of the other Anacondas
we've had too, even beard has done it.
In the first couple of times,
I was like, what's wrong with them?
But the truth is it's really pretty natural
for an Anaconda to go through this,
but it kind of looks really cool.

You know what I mean?
So go to the REPTILEARMY. COM and join the army.
Am doing a lot of unboxing lately.
But that's just because we've been getting a lot of stuff.
My buddy actually sends me a bunch of ball pythons
when he produces them.
And like I said before,
I usually don't even know what they are.
To be honest with you.
This one, I really don't know,
because I didn't even see a list in advance.
I'll tell you what.
They're pretty heavy though.
So either there's a lot of animals in here
or he packed sandbags in here.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on,
but let's just go ahead and open up box number one
and start to see what we have here.
(paper rumbling)
What do we have?
It's actually a pretty big bag of snakes here.
Here we go.
Bag number one, kind of a mystery.
What have we got?
Well, these are a little bit bigger.
That's why they're probably heavier.
It's cause they've got some size to them.
And these look like lemon blasts here.
These are just pastel pinstripes, to be honest with you.
So let's see what the bag says.
It says lemon blast passable leper, 50% hat pie.
I don't see the leopard in these guys.
I think they're just lemon blasts,
but nevertheless, pastel and pinstripes.
These guys have some size to them.
Hey bag number two.
Again, we have a pretty big animal here.
We got this little thing here.
This is actually a super pastel.
So this is a super pastel pinstripe.
This one's a possible leopard.
This one does actually look like it
got some leopard in it just to, by the way,
the pattern is kind of broken up on it.
So this one looks like a super pastel
or what they call a super blast Leopard.
This is actually interesting.
This is what they call a Nola yellow belly.
The Neolalia are actually an African morph in South Africa.
I don't know that I've seen anyone working with the Neolalia
here in the states to be totally honest with you.
So I remember seeing him when I was in South Africa,
I was at an expo and people were showing me Minneapolis
and I was like, oh, there's are kind of interesting.
So I'm really not sure what is up with this morph.
I don't know much about it.
Obviously there's a little bit of different patterning
and stuff like that had happened,
and then the yellow belly as well.
So I'll have to talk to my friend and find out exactly
what the deal is with this.
But it's kind of cool to have one that probably
is one of only a handful in the entire country.
And box number two.
Let's see what we have here .
(papers rumbling)
What do we have?
Ooh, it looks like a little bit smaller ones.
We don't have the bigger animals.
Let's see what we got.
It's always fun unboxing,
especially when you don't even know what you're getting.
So we have just a normal ball Python.
It looks like a super pastel.
Let me look on the back.
It says super pastel yellow belly actually.
Yeah, I say that.
So yeah, super pastel yellow belly and the normal.
Onto the next bag.
It looks like maybe just some Mojave's in here.
Let me see what we got.
It looks like just some Mojave ball pythons.
So some single gene Mojaves.
Mojaves are incredible.
The Sutherland is actually from the snake keepers
are the first people that actually produce these guys.
And they lived in the Mojave desert or right outside
the Mojave desert at the same time and so
they decided to call it Mojave ball pythons.
Maybe you were wondering like,
why do people name things the way they do?
And the truth is everyone names things differently,
but whoever produces the first one has the rights
to basically name them.
So let's see what else we got.
What do we have here?
It's a pretty snake.
Let's see, what do we have?
It's a pastel fire vanilla.
So this is actually like a vanilla cream, actually.
It's interesting.
These don't really look like pastel vanilla creams though.
Do they?
So I don't know exactly like pastel vanilla,
definitely pastel vanilla, possibly something else.
We'll see what happens,
but he definitely doesn't look like a vanilla cream
because that's the allelic between fire and vanilla.
And these guys look really beautiful,
but definitely not that.
So nevertheless, that's the thing about ID and snakes.
Sometimes it's a little bit difficult
and my buddy actually even sent me these and said that,
hey listen, if I miss ID something,
just let me know and we'll change it up.
So in these, we just have some beautiful pastel vanillas.
These are actually beautiful little animals
and genetically they're amazing too.
These are actually pastel butters,
but they're actually heifer hypo and heifer desert ghost.
That desert ghost stuff is really sought after right now.
So these guys are cool.
Maybe I'll have to keep a couple of these
cause they are absolutely wonderful.
I'm telling you when the desert goes up its rocking.
These are pretty right here.
So this one here is actually just a lemon blast.
Said possible leopard, but I don't see any leopard in it,
but this one is beautiful.
This is actually a lemon blast PI,
possibly a leopard as well.
Love that animal, look at that.
That is absolutely breathtaking.
Then the last bag here,
let's see what we have in here.
It looks like we have a nice,
beautiful little pastel pie ball python here.
Another lemon blast here,
which is of course just a pastel pinstripe
and then another Pastel.
And I'm assuming these are actually head for pie.
Seeing that there was a pie in the clutch here, there.
So all in all, just a cool Shipman.
Had no idea what I was gonna get,
got some surprises that were pretty darn awesome.
These guys will get set up, quarantine.
Get on the site here in the next couple of weeks,
just in time for black Friday, which by the way,
black Friday sale, I think it's our like 10th or 11th year
over at BHBREPTILES. COM.
So if you're interested,
everything will be on sale.
Black Friday BHBREPTILES. COM.
- Come on.
Let's go.
Come all the way up, let's go.
Still got the ball.
Oh look, what is that?
Is that a brand new problem Monitor Mo ish.
He's so funny.
He cracks up.
It's so funny.
Cause he's like one of the only monitors that we have
that like we'll clean out the cup and then lick his lips
and then just like spotless.
Everybody else has this stuff
all over their face all the time.
You missed your mouth.
Remember the whole point and you don't make a mess.
I'm sure I didn't wake you up from your nap or something.
So you guys don't know what monitor mosh is.
It's actually really healthy for these guys,
especially the meat eaters, obviously.
So it's ground up Turkey.
And then we also use whole eggs, including the shell.
We have calcium powder mixed in there
with a little bit of vitamin powder,
a wholesome meal between the whole rodents or meat or fish
or just the eggs or whatever that we feed them.
- And sure enough, a couple of hours ago,
jazz looked all kinds of weird.
The scales real crazy.
Well, guess what it shed off.
Look at how incredible it looks now
is getting the shed outta here.
Look at nice shed here.
And this is jazzy right here.
We get this shed out, it looks like a really nice shed.
Of course they always shed good and all of this water.
Oh, all full of water.
Come on jazzy, let go.
But you could see how perfect jazz looks now.
No Ray scales at all.
Absolutely amazing.
Again, the first time that I saw that happen,
I was kind of freaking out like maybe some scale rod or,
oh my God, maybe they're too wet or something like that.
But you could see once Jazz is shed off,
he's absolutely perfectly beautiful.
And I tell you, out of all the 3 anacondas we have,
Jazz loves the water.
Ivy is back here, she's hanging up.
She's on land a lot.
You could see Arianna right over there, his head,
She sees me and she's like, oh my gosh,
I'm coming to see his daddy.
So she's just absolutely amazing.
But for whatever reason,
Jazz never comes out of the water.
That animal spends all his time in the water and maybe
that's why its scales were raised
a little bit earlier today.
But like I said, no problem at all.
Shed out and looks absolutely wonderful.
I know.
I think that we need to talk to your mom
about a certain holiday issue with your mom.
- So it's like, what do they call it?
- Intervention.
- Yes intervention.
- It's an intervention.
Let's go find her.
- Intervention.
- Intervention exactly, let's find her.
- Mom, wait, we have to talk.
- We have to talk.
- About what?
- First off we wanna talk about backup, we love you.
- We do.
- We love you, and we think that you're great.
You're a wonderful person.
- Wonderful.
- Do you know what time of year it is?
Do you know essentially about the time of the year?
Like Halloween just happened a couple of days ago.
- November, yeah.
- The beginning of November right?
The very beginning of November.
We actually came home yesterday and there was a couple
of Christmas trees already up.
- Yeah.
- And it's not like, thanksgiving hasn't happened yet.
That's still three weeks away.
And now there's,
- We already had conversation.
- About what?
- About your problems?
- About Christmas.
- This is what Noah likes to call intervention.
- There's no intervention happening.
If you guys don't like it, you can move out.
But Christmas is coming and in order to be ready in time,
I have to start now, otherwise,
- But Christmas isn't coming for another two months.
- You realize, you act like you've never lived
in the house with me before.
- But I don't think I can remember
the beginning of November having Christmas tree.
- No but I have two places I have to decorate now.
Because now Christmas has to be
in a different place this year.
So now I have to start earlier or I'll never get it done.
- Let's call the cops.
- If you don't like it, move out.
That's what I said.
- Call Dr. Phil.
- So if anyone's got any ideas for help, we need help.
- Grinch 1, grins 2 get the heck out,
there's no place in our house for you.
Get on the train or get off.
That's your option, but it's happening.
- That didn't work out so well.
So Merry Christmas.
- I'm gonna set up more today.
- You guys know that I love my Anaconda Cage.
I tell you what, it's rare that you would like put your hand
in front of an Anaconda like this, like with Ivy,
you can do that because she's so amazing.
And I wanted to tell you guys,
after we did the video about getting
kind of the first approval of the city,
we posted a few pictures on Instagram
and had an overwhelming response from you guys.
I wanted to just thank you for that.
It is truly amazing how excited you guys are.
And I'm gonna do an entire video,
on kind of the process there and some of the concerns
that some people had about me doing it.
Like, why would you do that and stuff like that.
So stay tuned for that video.
The other video I really wanna do
is talking about animal behavior.
So I'm gonna be doing that video here in the next few days.
Talking about what we look at when you put your hand
close to an Anaconda or another snake.
Know the behavior side.
A lot of people ask,
how do I tame my snake down?
And I want to really break it down.
Really simplicity.
So in the next couple of days,
expect those two videos to come out.
A video that talks about the do's and don'ts
of the expansion, why I'm doing it,
why I'm not moving,
why I'm not doing something completely different,
why am I risking so much.
And also the fact of actually the behavior of animals
and how you read them, and how you actually
can get in their mind to kind of change their behavior,
much like Bruce did with baby Kush.
- Katherine did the headphones.
He just came out and ran up on me, so I figured
that kind of encourage the behavior a little bit.
He was really excited to wanna hop off me today,
but I'm waiting for him.
I know his tricks.
- [Man] I like that the IC went up real nice.
- He keeps trying to infer my face too.
- [Man] You look like a real pirate right now.
- Oh dude, Awesome.
He's just so full of energy.
So it's like, he always makes you sweat.
I'm telling you, man, like it's so cold right now today too.
I'm gonna go outside and I'm gonna absolutely
regret myself doing all this.
It's one thing to scratch, get scratched and bleed.
It's another thing to sweat and it's freezing.
Nice, nice try.
Just full of energy.
- Hope you enjoyed today's video,
