- Look at the size of that animal.
Oh my gosh.
(smooth music)
(crash)
Hey good morning everybody.
Welcome to the vlog.
I got a few hours of sleep after going a couple days
with hardly any sleep, so I am still struggling a little bit
with my energy level, but hey, you know what,
there is no crying in baseball.
- There's no crying in baseball.
- Well, I mean, it's really not baseball.
But anyways, let's go check the incubator.
You guys might remember just before I left,
I cut some clutches of eggs.
I'm sure that they are out and sure enough, they are.
Remember these animals here?
These were that really weird fire pin stripey animals.
Oh my gosh, they are really unusual.
Wow! Those are really cool.
Again, I had mentioned that there might be
some other gene going on there that just makes
them look a little bit different.
I produce a lot of fire pinstripes,
but none that have looked quite like this.
Wow! Those are interesting.
And then of course, that Lori Mimosa clutch.
And these are some champagnes.
Ooh, that's really neat looking, isn't it?
That's that one that I said, I think had Lori influence.
It definition was cool.
We have a couple of Lori ball pythons here.
And then this one here is definitely
that Lori champagne right there.
Wow! That is cool.
Just look at the grays in the side and the colors.
Oh my gosh, that's cool.
And even this one is really interesting too.
This looks definitely like a champagne.
But then again, I think this might be a Lori
because the influence of color
and pattern is definitely very unique.
Oh, and this is that chocolate mahogany thing.
Oh, there's some cool little ball pythons.
This right here of course, is a chocolate mahogany.
What's interesting, is it almost looks
like a super chocolate ball python.
That is really interesting.
So obviously, the mahogany and the chocolate have
some sort of allelic way, or at least mix
in a way that they actually look like super chocolates.
Now this looks like just a chocolate ball python here.
And this is another one that looks
like maybe it's a mahogany chocolate.
Wow! Those are awesome!
So that basically wraps up what's happening here
at the incubator.
Let's head over to the shop.
I tell you, sometimes the things you see
at BHB are absolutely crazy.
So you've got a chicken
that has a tortoise as a best friend.
And then we have a tortoise that's drinking out
of a dog bowl.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up my day.
Time to check some baby colubrids and as you see ...
(air whooshing)
I have Noah filming because you guys know every time
I look at baby snakes, I let them all out.
So I figure if I have two hands,
maybe I'll do a little bit better.
You can see these guys are all just a bunch
of little corn snakes.
Look at all, these are all little corn snakes.
Ooh, wait, wait there's a couple of kind
of cool little guys in here.
It looks like there some anerythristics and yeah,
that's really neat.
Look at how awesome.
And again, it's really cool how corn snakes are hatched
like this color and then it doesn't take too long
and they kind of turn that orangy red color
as they get bigger.
But these guys are really cool.
These are actually just a bunch of Okeetee corns here
and they've got really nice bands.
And the Okeetees are basically,
look at that really feisty monkey right there.
Okeetees are basically just a locality
of corn snake that's really pretty.
It has really beautiful black borders around the saddle.
So these guys are feisty, but they absolutely are cute.
I tell you what, that's a lot easier
with Noah holding the camera and me
actually having two hands.
Let's see what's ... Ooh,
these are actually really pretty here.
Look at this.
These are actually some
normal Nelson's milk snakes right here.
And they are just absolutely beautiful little colubrid.
Of course these are little milk snakes.
Now, what's interesting is there's a Nelson's
and then there's a Sinaloan milk snake
and they look almost exactly the same.
But it has to do with the triad count.
When they have more triads, I believe it's more
than 13 triads, that comes from the locality
that's actually a subspecies called nelsoni.
When they have less than 13, typically they are Sinoloans.
Now of course you could have more or less within Nelson's
or sSnoloans, and that doesn't make
them a Nelson's or Sinaloans.
They are different subspecies.
But I don't know.
That's just the way that's described.
So that's the way it is.
Look at this little monkey right here
that's trying to get away.
This is just an albino corn snake.
And this albino corn snake is the first one that hatched
out of a het scaleless corn snake.
So hopefully this clutch will produce
some albino scaleless corn snakes as well.
Next clutch here, oh, oh gosh.
This is absolutely incredible.
Take a look at this, ooh doggie.
This of course is another Nelson's milk snake,
just like the one I just talked about,
but this is actually what they would call a T-Positive.
So it's a type of albino, but instead of just being white,
red and yellow, it's got that purple look to it.
And oh my gosh that's absolutely amazing.
And of course these guys are actually a lilac,
meaning if you breed this to a normal albino,
about half the babies will come out these
absolutely gorgeous T-Positive Nelson's milk snakes.
In this case, this was actually a T-Positive bred
to a het normal albino.
And it looks like this is the first one
out of the clutch.
But we have a couple really other beautiful snakes
in here too.
Take a look at these guys right here.
This is actually a salmon snow corn right here.
And then this is a coral ghost corn snake.
So these are ones that get really pink when they get bigger.
So that's absolutely beautiful.
And you can already tell with this ghost right here
that it's gonna be a stunner.
And there's still a bunch more eggs to hatch.
I actually had one piece of footage from my trip
to the Dells at Alligator Alley.
And it was of a green anaconda just like Verde here.
And I tell you what, seeing that big anaconda a couple
of years ago is really what spurred me on to get Verde
in the first place.
To think that one day she should
probably get that large is amazing.
So I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys
that footage right now.
It's pretty insane.
(smooth music)
Ever since I first came to Alligator Alley,
I've dreamt that I would one day be able to mess
around with this green anaconda.
Take a look at how huge she is.
Look at her.
You guys know that I absolutely love Verde
and one day I hope that Verde can get anywhere near this big
but it's gonna be like 10 or 15 years.
Look at the size of that animal.
Oh ... my ... gosh!
Is that an unbelievable girth?
You know I bet you she's 250 maybe even 300 pounds.
I have never been in with a green anaconda this big
and certainly tame.
Just take a look at her right there.
Oh my gosh!
What an incredible animal.
Oh my gosh.
I tell you what guys, I'm absolutely trippin' out.
Like I said before, if you guys get to the Dells
in Wisconsin, you've got to come to Alligator Alley.
I'm gonna be honest with you, you're
probably not gonna be able to get in with
this big green anaconda, but hey, you can still come
and see her 'cause she's absolutely incredible.
I'm freakin' out.
This was worth the trip, just for this,
this was worth the trip.
How incredible is that?
Is that absolutely incredible?
Are you excited that one day Verde is gonna get that big?
- Thrilled.
(laughs)
- [Brian] Is that the reason you didn't want me
to get a green anaconda is because of how big they can get?
- Do we want to go there?
(laughs) [Brian] Yeah.
- Okay, I didn't want you to get a green anaconda
because we've had anacondas in the past
that have been a nightmare.
So I'm not a fan.
And then second, you just um, kind of sprung this one on me.
This wasn't like, "Oh hey, Lori, let's get ... "
This was like, "Oh, by the way, look what I got."
- Yeah, but look at how tame she is.
Look at her. I could kiss her
on the ... muah.
- Oh my God. - Look at how tame.
I wish she would bite - Look at how tame.
- you right now.
(laughs)
Especially 'cause she's in blue too.
- I know.
She is definitely in blue, which means she's growing.
And just so you guys know, it's gonna take Verde
probably a good you know, 10, 12 plus years.
And that is one big anaconda.
She may never get quite that big.
But it's gonna take her 10 or 12 years
to really get sizable.
So that was pretty insane, wasn't it?
And the last egg box I'm gonna check today,
ooh, look at this, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Look at how cute that little monkey is right there.
Of course this is another
Mexican black king snake, otherwise, negritas.
And you can see this one right here is
actually got it's head just poking,
oh they both have their head poking out.
But that's absolutely incredible.
We sent out a bunch of Mexican black kings last week.
And everyone that got one was just like, "Oh my God.
Those are some of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen."
And they truly are.
So it's absolutely amazing that we continue
to hatch a lot of colubrids.
And hey, we've got a lot more to hatch this year.
So how awesome is that?
Okay guys, I hear like a bunch of screaming.
What's going on down here?
- Um, I got-
- Eric's just having fun.
- You got bit?
I literally, - Yeah.
- I come down here 'cause I was like,
"Mary, what's going on?"
I mean there was screaming and yelling ...
- Crazy stuff went down.
- [Brian] What are you doing?
- I feel like I just went 10 rounds
with freakin' Mike Tyson, man.
- What are you doing?
You're shooting this for your blog?
- Yeah, I'm just putting him to the test.
- Oh my God.
Yo, Eric you do realize you don't have
to get bit for Noah's blog.
It's not part of your job responsibility.
- Yeah he does.
- He said that I would get fired if I didn't.
(laughs)
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
- All right, well I wasn't here for this,
but I can't wait 'til I, I'll put a link
in the description to this video.
- This is nothing right here. - We got all the blood off.
- Yeah. Lucky the Amazon tree boa had a little bit
of a snack today, so.
- It was eating him up.
- It was eating me up.
And he put a timer on me.
So there was no escape. - I had a stop watch out.
- [Brian] What?
(laughs)
- Like I was timing him.
(laughs) - You said 30
more seconds, Eric, bam, bam, bam, bam.
(laughs) - All right,
I got one last question.
Are you guys on the time clock?
- No.
- No, oh no, no this is my break.
- Yeah, yeah I saw you.
That's what I thought.
Get back to work.
- Yes sir.
(laughs)
- Just back home and you guys know
that Lori and myself hang out by this pond.
Of course, my buddy Greg from Aquascape helped put this in,
as well as a friend of mine, Dan, from Puts pond.
As a matter of fact, Dan Put is the one
that gave us our koi.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
They're not the most beautiful koi, are they Lori?
- No, but they were free.
(laughs) - They were free.
So Lori actually got some new little koi.
They're just little tiny ones in here.
We're gonna go ahead and float them,
get the water temperature right
and let them loose in the pond.
In the meantime, we'll go ahead and feed our big koi too
and you guys can see kind of the ...
No one say anything mean
about my koi.
- There they are.
(water rushing)
(smooth music)
Here they go, into your nice big, new pond.
(water splashes)
- That one-
- Was excited, yeah.
(laughs)
- How many did you get?
- Three.
- Three, oh, look at, they're right there.
That's a pretty one.
- I know, that's what I said.
I really like the fins on that one.
- Oh my gosh.
Well, they have a lot of water to grow really big.
So I think I'm just gonna go ahead and shut things down.
You guys know that I'm exhausted.
I definitely need a good night's sleep.
We may or may not be traveling tomorrow.
I'm not sure what's going on yet.
So I am gonna to just kind of relax here by the pond
with Lori and Noah, wherever he may be.
Thank you guys for tuning in today.
You guys mean the world to me and I hope
that you have an absolutely amazing day,
evening, whenever you happen to be watching.
