- Jeez-O-Pete's!
I'm blown away.
Oh my god this snake is huge!
Holy cow this is definitely a 50 foot snake!
(slow electronic music)
Hey, good morning everybody welcome to the vlog!
Savannah is still in town and we are heading to Chicago
today to go check out the Wildlife Discovery Center.
They have a bunch of really cool animals and then I think
we're off to find legitimately a 50 foot snake.
I'm not kidding a 50 foot snake.
Let's get on the road we have about
a five hour drive ahead of us.
We made it here to Chicago we're at
the Wildlife Discovery Center.
This place is ridiculous take a look at this.
That's right this is like a nature center.
All these historic buildings built in 1917.
This is crazy!
I knew this place was gonna be cool but I had no
idea and they have a ton of really cool animals.
Let's go inside and take a look.
Oh my god this is absolutely a treat here.
Of course this is Orinoco crocodile.
One of the most critically endangered
crocodiles on the planet.
This thing is so cool, they get really really large.
I've had the pleasure of working with some really big ones.
The thing that's so amazing is they've
got that really slender snout.
Almost reminds you of a Gharial type of thing.
Of course that would mean that these guys would eat fish
because they have these really sharp little teeth long jaws.
Oh my god this thing is gorgeous.
I didn't expect this when I came here but
this is a big treat, this is awesome, this is awesome.
This is definitely one of the
coolest coachwhips I've ever seen.
Of course coachwhips are typically
pretty whippy kinda aggressive.
This thing is unbelievable and it's even in shed.
Normally when a snake is in shed it's even more insane.
This is definitely the coolest coachwhip I've ever seen.
Absolutely incredible.
I love Uroplatus or leaf tailed lizards.
These are actually Henkeli.
I just think they're some of the
most alien looking animals on the planet.
I mean look at these things eyes.
Oh my gosh and these are big ones too.
Originally when I saw this one here
I was like, what is that, what species?
Oh my god that thing is ridiculous.
I love it.
I mentioned that we were coming after a 50 foot snake.
Well I hate to tell you this isn't the 50 foot snake but,
this is a big albino Burmese python.
It's 18 foot long and it's gotta
be at least 200 250 pounds.
This is an impressive snake.
To think one day Sunrise could potentially get this big.
I mean just take a look at this right here.
Oh my gosh!
That is one cool snake but again, it's not quite 50 foot.
Still on the search for that 50 foot
snake if you know what I mean.
Look at that monkey right there.
Woo-doogie this thing is amazing.
Okay guys.
I love this place.
I knew it was gonna be cool but it is so
much cooler than I even expected.
Look at this rhino iguana.
Her name is Flora and you said she's 22?
- 22 yeah.
- [Brian] You said it was the first one you ever got?
- When I first started Wildlife Discovery Center.
She was our very first animal.
- That is ridiculous.
I knew Bella had some size to go but
I didn't expect her to eventually get this big.
Sh Savannah's filming.
- So this is an Eastern indigo snake
and it's here at Wildlife Discovery Center.
Indigo snakes are one of my favorite snakes in the world.
Look how pre..what are you doing?
- What I was filming you keep going, keep going.
Oh my gosh.
This is incredible.
Of course this is a big Marine Toad.
Definitely the biggest one that I've ever held.
That thing is bigger than my head I think.
That is ridiculous.
These guys always get really big but, oh my gosh.
Take a look at this thing.
That thing is the coolest thing in the world.
I literally have never seen one this large.
I love it I think its freaking cool as could be.
You are so cute little buddy.
- [Brian] So Rob you've got this Komodo named Shrimp?
- Shrimp, yes.
- [Brian] How old is she?
- She's about 10 years old.
She was born at the San Antonio zoo.
Went to St. Louis and then went to Memphis zoo where
she was taken out of the breeding program and we
were fortunate enough to get her here.
She's starting to come.
(laughing)
[Rob] I'm gonna get one ready real quick, target.
- [Savannah] Whoa!
- Oh my gosh that is so awesome, that is ridiculous.
What they're doing is they're actually putting Shrimp,
they're having Shrimp go all the
way down there and then all the way back.
It's basically just a little enrichment number one
and some exercise number two but you can see that
Rob has a little target on the end of this.
So Shrimp has to come down to her name,
actually touch the ball before she gets rewarded with food.
It's just a typical target training.
This is crazy.
(laughing)
- We're not your average nature center.
We're pretty fortunate to have this animal.
For me this is the crème de la crème, Taj Mahal.
- It's the pinnacle of reptiles.
Any reptile keeper will say king cobras
and komodo dragons are the pinnacles.
- This is amazing, I'm in shock,
I don't even know what to say right now.
I've never even seen one this close.
- [Rob] Here she comes.
We're gonna make her work this time.
Hold it really high like up here we'll
see if we can get her to come up.
Target, okay good now we're gonna follow up there.
- [Savannah] Oh sorry.
That was my bad.
- [Rob] I think it'll work.
- That was awesome.
- Will you video?
- Yes I am.
I'm gonna have Savannah do this one.
- Okay.
- Target.
Target.
Okay ready?
- [Savannah] Yep.
- [Rob] Alright go for it.
- [Savannah] Now?
- [Rob] Yep.
- [Savannah] Don't fall out here.
Come on good girl.
Whoops.
- [Rob] You're alright.
There ya go.
- Guys I am absolutely blown away
take a look at this alligator snapping turtle.
This is legitimately,
I mean it's the largest, I've never seen anything like this.
This has to be the largest alligator snapping turtle
in captivity, maybe in the world, I don't know.
That is unbelievable.
Easily a 100 150 years old.
This thing has been around for a long time.
Look at the size of head on this thing.
- [Savannah] You look so little!
- I know this thing, look at it!
Jeez-O-Peet's!
I'm blown away!
I am literally smoked about this one.
Oh my, that is awesome, this is awesome.
I don't even know what to say I'm so freaked out.
That's awesome.
Guys there are certain times in life that I
seriously wonder how I've gotten to where I've gotten.
This is amazing.
Look at this unbelievable sloth.
I tell ya what, you know.
I love all animals, I love all mammals, but for some reason
I've always had a special affinity to sloths.
They are just the most peculiar,
beautiful, amazing animals in the world.
I didn't think I was waking up this morning and
gonna have this experience and I am so grateful for it.
This thing is adorable.
(laughing)
(mic audio scratching)
- [Savannah] I don't know what to do.
- Savannah.
- What!
- [Brian] Look at this Screech-Owl.
Isn't that crazy?
- It's the cutest thing in the world.
- Savannah, I can't thank you enough for
bringing me along on this trip.
Rob thank you for having us.
- Yeah you bet.
- This has been an unbelievable fun
day ending with this amazing Screech-Owl.
- I love them and we love Rob.
Wildlife Discovery Center is amazing.
- Yeah dead serious guys if you're ever in the Chicago area.
Please, I will put all the links in the description for
their social media as well as the website.
You gotta come pay this place a
visit it is unbelievable awesome.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Rob's place.
Savannah you're a savage.
(laughing)
We didn't find that 50 foot snake yet,
so you wanna go on that adventure?
- Yeah let's do it!
- We got one more place I think
we will find a 50 foot snake.
Rob, you the man thank you.
- Hey you bet man.
- Alright thank you so much you come visit me soon.
- Definitely, definitely.
- [Brian] Alright good I'll see you in a few.
Let's go find the snake.
- Alright let's hear it.
- So there's reports that they saw that
50 foot snake in this park earlier today.
Wait!

(grunting)
Oh my gosh this snake is huge!

(laughing)
Obviously guys this is a awesome pillow from
a place called That Pillow Guy.
That's right, I mean a 50 foot snake.
This is absolutely incredible.

It was little bit heralding.
Oh wait a second.

(breathing heavy)

Now I told you we were gonna find a 50 foot snake.
I wasn't lying to you.
Here we are back at The Reptarium.
What an amazing couple day's we had together with Savannah.
It was so cool to see the Wildlife Discovery Center.
Every time I go to a place like that I get a ton of ideas.
Plus Rob is really co-working working
together on some things in the future.
After all he has a Komodo dragon.
Maybe one day The Reptarium will get a Komodo dragon.
I'm not sure but I know that I love being back and
seeing my guys like Nova and Sunrise and everyone.
As much as I love to travel and I certainly do.
The fact is that nowadays I love being
back here at the home base with The Repterium.
Look at Tazzy just sunning himself over there.
