- Today my quest for a blue snake continues.
You guys know that I'm obsessed with two-headed reptiles,
like Ben and Jerry here,
the two-headed California kingsnake.
I've also been obsessed with blue snakes.
And the other day my buddy brought in
a blue Insularis pit viper.
This is the blue Insularis.
It's a little bit of a runner.
It can be solid blue, which is just absolutely incredible.
This one likes to go a little bit.
Pit viper, not really potent venom.
Just don't wanna get bit by any venomous snake.
Gonna get quite a bit larger,
and when it gets larger and gets really blue-looking,
oh my gosh, you see pictures on the internet,
and you're always like "what, a blue snake?"
This is the snake right here.
But I don't keep venomous snakes.
But there is a blue snake that is a colubrid,
that is a little bit mildly venomous,
but not too terribly bad, called a Baron's racer.
Now you guys might remember,
I got these guys a few months ago,
and was like, "Oh my gosh I got some blue Baron's racers!"
The problem is that they're born green,
and they get blue as they get older.
So as much as I absolutely love these guys,
it's gonna be a couple years
before they're actually a blue snake.
But I noticed the other day my buddy Ryan from Florida
actually posted an adult female blue Baron's racer.
So I figured let's go ahead and give him a call.
Hey Ryan, what's going on?
It's Brian Barczyk, how are you?
Hey I was wondering,
do you still have that
adult female blue Baron's racers for sale?
I'll tell you what dude, if she's blue, I want her.
Yeah, okay I'll go ahead and send you the money,
and you can send me the snake.
So we made the deal, and he shipped it yesterday,
so it should be here any minute.
While we're waiting for that box to arrive,
I actually have a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Look at this animal right here.
This is actually the Honduran milk snake, it's a tangerine,
but it's kinda one of those vanishing pattern ones,
where it doesn't have much pattern, absolutely gorgeous.
Looks like she had a nice clutch of eggs.
So let's go ahead and see what we have here.
Yup, look at that clutch of eggs right there.
Beautiful, big eggs.
We got two, four, six, eight, nine eggs
from albino Honduran.
These babies are gonna hatch out
and look absolutely gorgeous.
This is actually a lavender Cal king.
Hetero-snow, so these should be half lavender snow,
and half lavenders that are hetero-snow.
Looks like a beautiful clutch of eggs,
I tell you what it's gonna be a bummer
when the colubrid season's over.
They're gonna start hatching anytime.
I think next week our first baby colubrids,
besides house snakes, are due to hatch.
And then the explosion of babies happens,
which is always exciting.
We've got six beautiful eggs from this lavender het-snow.
- [Man] This is a really cool snake.
- Pinstripe enchi?
- No. - Calico?
- That is a pastel clown - There's spider in it.
- bumble bee.
- There's no clown. - There's no clown.
- There's spider in it. - Ding ding.
- [Guy With Blue Shirt] That's a-
- That's the first one you guys got right.
- A spider head albino.
- No, this is a, that's not visual.
- That's a, what do you call it, spider GHI.
- No. - He's striped.
Genetic g stripe. - I think it's Calico.
- [Guy With Blue Shirt] No it's not Calico.
- I don't know I didn't see the parents.
- Spider, spider. - Bumblebee.
- Oh! - Champagne?
- You guys just keep throwing everything out there.
You guys are so wrong.
- Spider?
- So this is a Spider Bamboo.
- Ah that's it. - That's it,
that's the one.
- Enchi.
- [Cameraman] I was gonna say probably Enchi.
- I said, didn't I? - I said that.
- I totally said Spider Enchi.
- Why don't people use champagne anymore?
- Well Enchi was in there. (laughs)
- And the package just arrived.
I am excited to see what this girl looks like.
And you know the girls are typically
not quite as pretty as boys.
The boys are definitely much more blue,
but the girls are still really amazing.
So this is gonna be super cool.
Let's see what we have here.
Ah here she is!
It's just gonna be super cool to have one of these.
These were like a dream animal of mine for so long,
I always wanted them.
I just never had an opportunity,
then I ended up getting a green one,
and I loved it to death.
Just such crazy personality.
And then we got the two little baby blue ones,
but, again, they're not gonna be blue until they get bigger.
This girl on the other hand, hopefully,
is gonna be absolutely spectacular.
(whomp) Oh!
What in the world?
That is ridiculous guys.
I don't, you can't, I'm not even gonna show you.
(static buzzes)
(upbeat drum music)
Look at this snake right here.
Oh my gosh!
This is such a beautiful snake.
The males will be like a darker blue.
This snake is just absolutely this beautiful,
powder blue-silvery look.
Look at all the cool color in her face.
Again the males will have a little bit longer nose as well.
That little probasis.
But unbelievable, again,
adult female Baron's rat snake.
I need a make now, 'cause now I have three female blues,
and I have a male green, but no female greens.
And you can breed the greens and blues together,
but really I prefer to breed blue to blue.
That's when you get the best babies.
And these guys do have a little bit more serious toxin
than most of the rear-fang snakes
that we work with personally.
So when you do get envenomation with them,
which is unbelievably rare,
'cause you can see, look at, you can do any-
(upbeat electronic music)
I could boop it's nose, and it's not gonna bite me.
So they're really, really docile.
And you gotta remember with a rear fang venomous snake
they have to not only bite you,
but they have to chew on you to get that venom in.
And so these guys never really do that.
But wow that snake is gorgeous.
I mean the side here where you see all that blue.
Unbelievably amazing.
This is gonna be a cool animal
because they're arboreal too, so they like to climb.
So we can put this into a really cool enclosure
here at the Reptarium,
as soon as we get through quarantine with it.
It's gonna be a really cool snake to look at,
and a really cool snake to take out.
I couldn't be more excited.
I finally have my first real blue snake.
(record scratches)
This is absolutely unbluelievable.
- Tortilla slap.
- Challenge from TikTok and Instagram also,
we're gonna participate, because why not?
- Whoever gets water in their mouth last wins.
- Oh yeah that makes sense.
- Dude this is a thick tortilla.
- [James] This one's ripped.
- Is this regulation size,
'cause this seems like eight inches?
- No the joke's over exaggerating.
- What? - It's over exaggerating.
- [James] My tortilla's been compromised.
Are they actually eight inches?
- Yeah. - [Jen] Yeah it's been said.
- Wow I'm getting good at that.
(coughing) (dramatic music)
- [Camera Man] Who goes first?
Alright Maria you go first.
(tortilla slaps)
(laughing)
(laughing continues)
Maria you're back.
Yeah. (slap)
(laughing)
(dramatic music intensifies)
(all laughing)
- [Camera Man] Maria's out, Maria's out.
Noah is out, Noah is out. (laughing)
- Oh my god, you hit it really good.
(coughing)
- I'm crying this is good.
- Can't wait to show the guys.
Mike take a look at this!
- Yes! - What do you think man?
- She's beautiful.
- Isn't it amazing?
I mean it's a big difference between the greens
and the blues, and, again,
the males are gonna be way more blue.
But look at all the blue in her side, she is crazy.
Noah what do you think?
- Is that what I think it is?
- What is it, what do you think it is?
- That a Green Mamba?
- No it's not a Green Mamba. (laughs)
- Look at it, it's fucking, it's amazing!
- It's like a blue Insularis, but it's safe to handle.
- Yeah that's a good example.
A lot bigger than a blue Insularis too,
but yeah it's amazing.
I mean look at how docile she is too.
- This is amazing. - Isn't that cool?
- Look at how long that tail is.
- It's bluetiful!
- Bluetiful. (laughs)
- [Noah] What? - Feel her scales.
- Honestly dude take it back man.
I don't wanna,
I don't wanna lose a finger or nothing honestly.
- Are you scared?
- I'm not scared, I just wanna be safe.
- He's scared.
- [Camera Man] He swallowed, he didn't spit.
Swallowers get an extra coat.
(laughs) Yeah Mike's out.
- Dude that's so good.
- [Camera Man] It's a one v one, Jen versus Jake,
size dichotomy if I've ever seen one.
(all laugh)
- I think I've seen a start of a movie like this.
- As excited as I am about getting that
absolutely amazing snake, there's still eggs to pull,
and this is a beautiful hetero-albino.
It's just again a recessive heterozygous
that's bread to an albino.
So essentially when you breed an albino to a heterozygous
half the babies on average are gonna be albino,
and the other half are gonna be hetero-albino.
She rolled the egg around so we're gonna have to
definitely kennel these guys.
We've got two, four, six, eight beautiful eggs.
She's just actually a pretty dinker normal
that is actually wrapped around some beautiful eggs.
Bred to this ripper male right here,
which is a banana sini lori.
So should be some really cool babies for sure.
Let's see how many eggs mamma has.
It's okay mama.
They're nice tiny eggs not a ton of them,
but hey I'm not complaining
'cause it's a beautiful clutch of eggs.
And we have two, four, six, seven eggs.
- Let's go show the animal educators.
What do you guys think?
- Oh wow. - Isn't it cool?
- What gonna be her name?
- I don't know that's a good question.
Down in the comments why don't you give me ideas
for this beautiful blue Baron's Racer.
We need a name, a good one,
so let me know what you guys think.
- Tiffany Blue. - Tiffany Blue?
- It's like a dream come blue.
- [Woman] The dad jokes never end.
- Remember that really cool Clown clutch
that hatched out a few days ago?
Well they shed out and look at how amazing they are.
This is actually a pastel banana Mojave Clown Ball Python.
Now look at this ripper right here!
This is actually a banana super enchi leo
clown ball python, woo.
Then this one is a ripper too,
this is a pastel, it's a Mojave,
it's a Clown, it's a Leopard.
Wow that thing is ridiculous.
Take a look at this one here.
This is actually an enchi mojave
lesser clown ball python, wow.
This is one of my favorites for sure,
this is actually an enchi leopard clown ball python.
Oh my goodness look at the head stamp on that one.
Look at how reduced this one is here!
This is actually an enchi mojave leopard clown ball python.
This just happens to be an enchi leopard
that is hetero-clown, but look at how beautiful it is.
And look at that head pattern, unbelievable.
Then finally we have this beautiful leopard clown
ball python with a really reduced pattern.
(dramatic music) (laughing)
- [Camera Man] Almost hit me in the nuts.
- [Noah] Get a new one?
(tortilla slaps)
(all laughing)
- This is so much fun.
- Oh this is getting personal.
(laughing)
- [Mike] Oh, across the neck.
- [Jen] That's hard. - I'm hungry.
(spits) - Oh!
- God does he have an eyeball left?
(laughing)
- All right, Jen's the winner.
- Hey you got a little. - Oh that's so good.
- Hold on I'm just gonna, I'm gonna.
I'm helping you.
