- This of course is Lucy, my 20 foot snake.
And it looks like she's not exactly in the best of moods,
but the fact is, I have some friends coming from New Jersey
- Aye
- In a few minutes so as soon as they get here,
of course I'm going to put 'em through the ringer
and see if they can hold Lucy.
What possibly could go wrong with this, right?
So Lucy, you're going to be okay, girl?
I think she'll be okay, let's go and get her.
And they made it in and of course this is Ben
and this is Ryan from RNB Reptiles.
I'm going to put a link in the description to their stuff.
Go over there, subscribe to their channel.
They have some cool stuff on.
Tell them I sent you by the way.
So, you guys ready?
Have you ever handled a 20 foot snake before?
- No, not yet.
- Get out of here, really? Okay.
So the only thing that you really want to worry about
is one: her biting you.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's a thing.
- Two: her pooping on you.
To be honest with you, I think she's not gonna bite you.
I think she's a hundred percent fine.
As soon as I go in there and get her going she's fine.
I would stay away-
the dangerous end is the back end, okay?
So I'm going to get her out,
have these guys just go at it. Let's do it.
- (Offscreen) She's big.
- (Offscreen) She only weighs 250 too, so you're good.
- Please don't poop.
- Guys ready?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Step on up.
Stay away from the back end, if at all possible.
Whoa.
Then just go have at it.
All right, here we go. What do you think?
- She's a biggun! Wow.
- Yeah, go ahead.
Throw that over your neck, man.
Come on, now. Here we go.
(grunting)
(laughing)
It's a little bigger than a ball Python, huh?
- A little bit.
- I always have to put my friends through the ringers.
Right? These guys I've done a lot of things for me.
So I have to go ahead and return the favor. You know?
(grunting)
All right, careful with that end,
I'm telling you, you don't want that end to get too close.
- I feel like I'm palpating her.
(laughing)
- That's a lot of energy, right?
Uh- oh! She's going back.
Mr. Mike! Mike!
Oh, I think she's gone! You're gonna lose her.
- Nah.
- Oh, he got her, he got her.
- It's all you guys.
- Okay, okay, she's like a fast garter snake.
Right? You can let her go.
All right. So you guys lasted about 30 seconds.
How'd it feel? Did you get enough gym time in?
- No, it was real good after a good flight.
You know, just come in and you're like
Hey, get in here.
- Get in there, that's right.
Fly in and jump in with Lucy. Listen.
Hey, but we're not done yet.
These guys gonna meet a bunch of my cool animals.
Lori's excited Why are you excited?
You got a knife. Are you okay? Are you mad?
- (laughing) I could be. If that was like you,
this would be scary. Right?
- Okay. Just do that.
- I'm responsible.
- All right. So Lori, nothing gets her happier
than when she's opening up new gift shop stuff.
So what did you buy? You know what would be cool?
Little baby werewolves.
Can you get werewolves for the gift shop?
- Hold your breath. Maybe this is what it is.
- Oh my gosh! Is it a baby werewolf?
- Now, would that make any sense?
- I don't know,
it would be really cool though. I would like them.
What are they? Toucans?
- Yep, yep.
- You got toucans?
- Think about- I only buy stuff that makes sense.
- Oh my gosh. What?
These are so fricken cool!
- Oh, these are cool.
- Holy moly, Ashley look at this.
- Oh my god, those are cool
- Bat, lookit.
- They're super cute.
- Oh I love those! Those are great!
- Aren't they cute? Oh my god, these are so good.
It this the only new stuff you got?
- Yeah
- Oh my god they are so dope.
- Yeah. They are much cuter than in the book,
so I'm happy. These are a win!
- Oh, those are gonna be popular.
Kids are gonna love those,
so you did good on that one. Wow.
I'm going to take one for my office. Thank you.
Well guys, I'm not exactly Gatorland,
but I do have a pretty cool alligator
that loves to eat drumsticks.
So what do you guys think? You want to feed him?
- Yeah, man. Let's do it.
- Let's do this by hand. Just hold it like this, right out.
No, I'm kidding. No, no, no.
You guys actually can use these.
- Just hold it with my teeth?
- Yeah, exactly. Just out of your mouth.
Go ahead, RJ.
- Here you go, RJ, what d'you think, bud? Holy.
- Ooh, you did a very good job.
Is this is the first alligator you've ever fed?
Come on now, Ryan.
I know you can do better than that. Redeem yourself.
- Let's try this again.
- There you go. There it is. Don't mess it up, Ben.
- Where are these tongs from?
- Oh, careful, careful!
You go in after it now! No, get another one.
I'll get it. I'll get it.
(laughing)
Blame it on the tongs. Come on.
(laughing)
Did you lose it again. All right, get it, get it, get it!
Yay. You redeemed yourself.
(laughing)
Good job!
I'm in the dungeon.
You know what that means.
(scary music)
No, no, no, no, no, it's the other one, the other one.
(happy music)
And that's right, because this is an absolute ripper here.
I am so excited. Look at this giant Mojave ball python.
I mean, this is a giant girl.
Aw! She got me! It's okay, girl! It's all right.
But look at that beautiful clutch of eggs. Mama got me.
She's just protecting her eggs. You're a good mom.
That's the way mama should be.
But we're going to go ahead and get those eggs off her.
And she was bred to a really cool combo.
I cannot wait to see what this looks like.
And that would be this male right here
which is a pinstripe. It's a red stripe.
And it's a yellow belly.
Think about that The red stripe and the Mojave
mix really, really well together.
Then you get the pinstripe and yellow belly.
Whoo, Doggy! I'll tell you what,
with the amount of eggs it looks like mama has
we've got a good shot to hit all those combos.
So let's go ahead. Get an egg box set up,
and see how many eggs mama has.
(funky music)
All right, let's see what mama's got going on.
Like I said, she was definitely not happy.
She gave me a little love nip here.
So I've got to be a little bit careful with her.
It's okay, mom, I'm just going to unravel her a little bit.
Get her off her eggs.
Again, like always, we always clean them off
and that kind of stops that drive
of like being protective of the eggs.
It looks like a beautiful clutch of eggs.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I thought she might have a little bit more.
She's protecting her eggs. It's okay, mom.
It's all right. It's okay. Stay over here.
It's okay. All right. She's a good mom.
She's like I'm projecting those eggs up.
Here he goes, whoa, there she is!
I knew she was coming. I tell you what,
I gotta get these eggs outta here pretty quick.
But again, as soon as we clean her up, kind of wash her off
put some soap on or stuff like that.
Get the cage clean. She's going to kind of calm down.
Regardless, we got two, four, six, eight, nine,
beautiful eggs. I tell ya.
This is going to be an amazing combo.
I cannot wait for 57 days.
We're going to be cutting this clutch.
There's going to be some banger babies in there.
That was absolutely incredible.
Don't look now guys
but we have 17 clutches on the ground
and you know maybe about 150 more to go.
You guys need to join the movement.
And that movement of course is Reptile Army.
You can go to reptilearmy.com.
You can get your swag over there.
We got about 18 products right now.
Gonna be launching 10 more,
hopefully 10 more each month for the entire year of 2021
10% of the proceeds go to USR.
Other proceeds will go to education.
I promise it's not going to go
to a Rolex watch for me driving around in a Ferrari.
It's going to go to things that are going to educate people.
So go ahead, get to Reptile Army
because we need you to join the movement
and be part of the solution.
And of course, I'm not going to have my friends out here
without meeting Drogo, right.
Have you guys ever held a sloth?
- No, I have never not.
- You've never held a sloth?
- Not yet.
- Oh, well today's your day.
- Today's the day.
- Today's your lucky day. Of course, Jay is over here.
Just going to help us out a little bit.
You know, Drogo is so amazing.
I know these guys are going to absolutely love him.
Get your Instagram ready.
- I'm a little wider than you.
- That's okay.
- Just a little bit.
- And there's Drogo.
- Just put your hand, just exactly where that it.
You don't really have to like, hold him
or squeeze him, you're just supporting him.
(laughing)
- Hey, Drogo.
- This is dope.
- Isn't he cool?
- Yeah. He's super cool.
- Drogo, what's going on buddy?
It's just, there's something really cool about sloths
and obviously holding it one for the first time.
I'm so happy I got to do this.
And of course Ryan is up next to you.
He usually doesn't like people with black shirts on,
but hopefully, no I'm kidding.
I'm just kidding. He doesn't care. He doesn't care at all.
- He should be really comfortable
with Ryan cause Ryan moves slower than him.
- Oh yeah. And sleeps 23 hours a day.
That's what I've heard
Actually, ironically enough,
I was surprised when we got a sloth.
He does not sleep 23 hours a day.
I can tell you he is sleeps a lot, but he cruises a lot.
He's up and about at least probably
six or eight hours a day. Roamin' his cage.
So he's definitely a pretty energetic little slother.
- Ryan, try to speed up your movement
so you can at least match Drogo's movements.
(laughing)
- This is really amazing.
- Isn't it crazy. It's so cool. So different.
They're so unusual. So I love it.
So there you go.
In the next clutch is actually a Het Anery Brooks King
and it's bred to an Anery Brooks,
meaning about half the clutch will be Anery
and half the clutch will be Het for Anery
normal Brooks Kings.
Let's see what she's got going on in here.
Oop. And it looks like a mixed bag, you know,
not every clutch is going to be perfect
when it comes to any of the snakes that we breed.
So far, the colubred season
we didn't even one slugger, I think maybe one slug
out of 'em. This one, not so good.
We have definitely a mixed bag here.
I'm going to go ahead and remove
what I think are mainly good eggs
and kind of take the bad eggs out here.
I tell you what definitely some not so good eggs here.
A bunch of them, unfortunately, and no idea why
because actually we had the same male bred
another female that lay, just a couple of days ago
he was a hundred percent fertile.
So it's probably the female to be totally honest with you
but we'll get mama all cleaned up and get her ready to go.
It looks like we've got two, four, six good eggs.
And then two, four, six, eight, 10 slugs.
Oh my God. That is definitely not the ratio,
but hey I tell you what, some of the animals
are going to love eating this slugs.
I can tell you that much.
So hey, all in all, any eggs are good eggs.
We're going to have ups. We're going to have downs.
We're gonna have good clutches.
We're going to have bad clutches, but all in all
it's going to be an amazing year.
So actually, Ryan and Ben, believe it or not,
were some of the first people to buy into
the lori ball project way back in the day.
So you guys are preaching some pretty cool stuff.
- Yeah.
So these guys are my competition
but I want to hand you this.
You take one and you take the other one.
These are actually the super lori leopard ball pythons
now that they've got a little bit of sides to them.
Yeah, they're looking really cool, right?
- Yeah, this is amazing.
- This is way, way smaller than Lucy.
(laughing)
- A little bit,
a little bit more in your wheelhouse for sure.
But the fact is that the female that actually
produced these the last two years I've produced these guys
believe it or not, is ready to lay eggs any minute.
- That's awesome, wow.
- I mean, literally within the next day
maybe when you guys are still in town
we'll be able to pull a clutch together.
That would be absolutely amazing.
But I have a couple other lori things I need to show you.
(funky music)
So this is actually a lori banana cinny.
- Oh, that's really good.
- That worked good, right?
- Yeah. That's a great one.
- I know the way that, that cinnamon
and lori mixed together to get that kind of chocolatey
and purpley look, I mean, look at that.
- Look at the, blushing down the sides
how it just fades away.
- Yeah. That's awesome.
- Yeah. So I figured you guys would like that.
You know, I know they're working
on a bunch of lori stuff as well.
So definitely go check their stuff out
because they got some cool, cool animals.
But, I've got a few little tidbits here
that I've been messing around with.
- A little bit of a head start.
- But actually it's funny I had the head start
but I didn't really utilize it.
You know, I kind of slept on the project.
So now I'm trying to catch up to be totally honest with ya.
All right, next up.
I can't have friends here and not introduce them to Salt
the amazing alligator, but I think she's ready to eat.
So I'm gonna try to take her out.
But if not, we're just going to have to feed her.
If not, you guys can hold her and then we'll feed her.
But she is deaf. Look at these two.
Are you kidding me right now?
I don't know that I'm going to be able to get 'em out.
Let's give it a shot.
Come on, come on, come on, come on. Maybe. Okay.
There you go, sweetheart, there you go.
Whoa, she's ready to eat.
I think we'll calm her down for a second.
Give me a second. Calm down, Salty.
Shut that mouth there you little girl.
He'll just go like that, I'll talk to you like that.
And she's good to go.
- Aw, man.
- She's trained to stay still, huh?
- She has grown so much.
- I know last time you guys saw her
she was probably like this big right.
Stay, Salt, good.
And there you guys go.
(laughing)
Alright. No Instagram pictures. Okay. We're good.
All right. So we're going to put her back
and then we're going to go ahead and let you guys feed 'em.
All right.
- Sounds great.
- Okay. Here we go.
- I didn't eat on the way here,
so can I taste it? Can I just have a little?
- There you go, Salty!
There you go girl. Just gotta keep calm and watch your hand.
There you go. Pepper. Come on over Pepper.
- How about let's feed you here before you jump out.
(laughing)
- I can't see her head, no don't take the tongs.
(laughing)
- That's pretty fun.
- Yep. There you go.
There you go. Now you're eatin'.
- Come on, Brian. Pop it like it's hot.
- I can pop it.
- You gotta get more emphasis.
- All right, You go back in.
Get outta here, Pepper. Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Okay, Salty, go. Good job, guys.
It's always nice to have you guys around.
They're going to be actually in tomorrow's video
