- Holy cow!
Take a look at that.
It is so crazy to see this.
Oh ya, it's just a little tiny female,
but definitely some good eggs.
(electronic music)
Hey, good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog!
I'm excited 'cause I have a box here.
I'm gonna be honest with you,
the contents of this box
is probably something you won't expect
because it's something that I've really wanted to get
for quite some time.
And I was talking to my friend Kevin over at NERD,
and he said he had gotten some of these animals.
And he was like,
"I think these would be great for The Reptarium."
And I thought, you know what,
you're absolutely right.
I want some.
So, he said he was picking me out a few cool things.
He sent me some swag here.
Thank you Kevin, as always.
You're always great about that stuff,
but for now, I just wanna see what is in these bags.
Oh my god.
It's so cool to get new stuff,
and this is definitely wild,
but it's something that I've wanted
ever since we started opening up The Reptarium,
I was like, if I ever get an opportunity
to get the right ones of these,
I'm gonna get it, and I am absolutely excited.
And let's take a look real quick.
Oh doggy, these things are crazy cool.
Oh my god.
You guys are going to trip out when you see these.
Look at this thing.
Holy cow!
Take look at that frog right there.
Oh, my gosh!
Is this thing insane or what?
Could you even believe that?
That thing looks like an alien.
Of course, this is a Marine Toad.
And, I've always wanted to get a marine toad,
'cause they are great for educational purposes.
Over at The Reptarium we can take him out,
and the kids can play with him.
They're usually pretty good
when it comes to not peeing on people,
and look at how huge they are.
And these happen to be the Suriname Marine Toads,
which are the largest of the marine toads.
I mean, take a look at that monkey right there.
That thing is incredible,
and I have to imagine that you guys
are pretty shocked about it too.
Like, what, Brian, what did you just get?
It's not a Ball Python.
It's not anything else,
but we actually got two of 'em,
because I thought, hey, one isn't good enough, right?
We might as well get two.
So, let's go ahead
and take a look at this other little monkey.
I'm just brimming from ear to ear with these things.
They are so abso...
oooh, and this one's really pretty.
It's amazing how different they look.
I mean, look at this little monkey here.
He's trying to jump away.
Hoo, hoo, hoo doggy.
That thing is incredible.
Take a look at these two.
They look so very different,
but they are absolutely mammoth.
Oh my gosh.
These things are so wild.
Oh man.
Look at the eyes on 'em.
Oh, and these guys will eat mice, they'll eat bugs,
they'll eat just about anything they can fit in their mouth.
These are absolutely incredible,
and are going to be a great addition,
not only to The Reptarium,
but also for educational shows,
where I go around to schools
and different things like this.
I needed this because, what the problem is,
if I take Chunky Monkey, or an Argentine Horned Frog,
they always like to pee.
They're not very good at handling.
And you can see, these guys are great about handling,
and stuff like that.
And, the other thing that makes these guys so incredible,
is how easy they are to care for.
One of the easiest frogs you can ever imagine.
So there it is guys.
I hope that you guys like it.
Let me know if the comments
if you guys are as excited as I am.
(electronic music)
Tell you what guys, I could get spoiled with this for sure.
I come down here every day.
It seems like Kelsey has at least
one or two clutches of Ball Pythons,
so it's a great time of the year for sure.
Definitely killed it this year, Kelsey.
So what do we have?
- First up, we have a Het-Albino female
bred to an Albino male.
- Okay, good.
So, again, just Albinos and Het-Albinos.
But I think this is a pretty big girl here,
so she should have a nice clutch.
Look at her right there.
Oh my gosh, mama.
Oh ya, looks good.
Oh, definitely a nice clutch of eggs.
Not a record breaker, but definitely still really beautiful.
Let's go ahead, get these eggs.
Get 'em into an egg box really quick.
And then we can actually see what she has going on here.
What do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.
- Nine eggs.
Not bad way to start the day.
And we have a few clutches today.
- Yes we do, we have three.
- All right, three clutches.
So we have two more clutches to go.
I think Kelsey is going to have
to take this little egg off, put it over here,
and then we can see what else we have down here.
(electronic music)
Next clutch.
Let's see what we have here.
- We have a Spinner that was bred to a Dragonfly.
- Ooh, she's got a couple eggs out in the back over there,
but it looks like she's wrapped,
whoa! - oooh
- [Brian] Looks like she's wrapped around
a nice clutch of eggs.
And of course that Dragonfly is that Pastel Fire Pinstripe.
Have all kinds of potential cool stuff here.
She is definitely fired up a little bit.
- [Kelsey] She is a spicy mamma.
- She is a spicy mom.
Look at that clutch!
Oh my god.
- Wow.
- [Brian] That's another beautiful clutch of eggs,
and I'll go ahead grab these two eggs here
to help Kelsey out a little bit.
She can get that clutch.
Arrgh.
All right, and away we go into the box.
Looks like we've got one egg too.
We'll candle these two eggs
just because they were out of the clutch.
She's got to take that one egg off really quick.
(electronic music)
And as we're getting this egg undone,
I'm getting attacked by Speedy here.
Speedy is literally trying to climb up my leg.
He actually goes home for the summer tomorrow.
So, Speedy, you excited to be able to be roaming around
the backyard for the rest of the summer?
I don't know what he's doing.
What a crazy monkey.
But, nevertheless, How many eggs do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
- Ten, all right!
We're trending in the right direction.
Nine eggs the first clutch.
Ten eggs the second clutch.
Again, we'll just candle those last two eggs
just to make sure they're up right,
and move on to the last clutch.
I never want to get too repetitive,
but I can't help it when it comes to Ben and Jerry.
It's just so cool to now see both of their heads eat.
Let's hope they do it again.
What do you say we try to feed these little monkeys.
You guys ready?
You ready for one?
(machine humming softly)
Oh, there you go.
There's one.
(machine humming softly)
There, the other one took it right there.
Hoo, hoo, hoo, that was crazy,
'cause Jerry usually just opens its mouth and eats it.
This time, it was like, lunging for it and stuff like that.
It is so cool to see both of these guys eat.
(electronic music)
And as Jerry is finishing up,
it looks like Ben is looking for some more food.
Come on buddy.
There you go, bud.
(laughing)
Oh my gosh, it is so crazy to see this.
I tell you what, that never gets old.
I'm so happy that they're both eating now.
And it's so weird that we didn't know before.
By the way, when my vet was over last time,
she said she wanted to actually put some iodine down 'em,
and actually we could radiograph
to see where the food goes.
We could see if they have two stomachs,
what the internal organs are like.
So, that would be really cool.
As for now,
I'm gonna let these two little monkeys eat their food.
I'll probably give them two or three more fuzzies,
and then call it a day.
Unbelievable.
(electronic music)
Then this last clutch,
oh my god, am I excited about it,
and I know you're excited too.
- I am thrilled.
This is one of my favorite Ball pythons
that we have in our collection,
and I've raised her since she was just a little baby,
when I started.
This is her first clutch.
- [Brian] Well you did so good.
Her first clutch!
Of course, this is a Loried Leopard Ball Python,
and it's bred to a Lori,
so we could get some Super-Loried Leopards.
Oh my gosh.
It looks like mamma is definitely ready to go
right there too.
It's okay sweetheart.
You're all right.
She's got a nice clutch.
One little slugger, but that's a nice first clutch.
Oh my gosh.
Again, we'll have to candle that rolled egg right there.
We'll probably candle them all just to make sure.
But, it looks like it's absolutely incredible.
Again, one little slugger, but not too bad at all.
Look at the eggs are nice and small,
but a bunch of 'em.
Oh my gosh.
And, just so you guys understand,
the super is a potential for one-in-four for a Super,
and then you've got a co-dominant,
so in theory, one-in-six, on average,
would be a Super-Loried Leopard.
But hey, you can get six eggs,
and get six Super-Loried Leopards,
so you never know because of the odds.
So, what do we have here?
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven eggs.
- Seven eggs.
So the odds, hopefully, will be in our favor.
And, we may produce the first
Super-Loried Leopard Ball Python in this clutch.
So fifty-four, fifty-five days from now,
we'll go ahead and cut those.
Oh my god.
I know I'm excited.
I know Kelsey's excited.
Again, Kelsey, you've done such a good job this year.
- Thank you.
- Over here, at The Reptarium,
Lori is doing a little touch up of this cage over here.
You can see she did a whole big foaming on that side.
Basically, what happened was,
there was a little hole where Joker,
the scaleless rat snake, could actually get in there,
and he started to go in there
We were able to get him out,
and then we had to kind of replace him.
And, again, this is exactly how you do it.
You foam it first, and you put a little silicone,
and you put this dust on it,
and it just kind of blends right in.
So Lori has really become an expert on this,
because she's done probably hundreds,
and hundreds of hours of it, all over around The Reptarium.
Oh, Opesucu, you're lookin' good today.
What are you up to buddy?
Hi, little guy.
What's up with you?
And it is amazing how Opesucu
is starting to really calm down here.
Just with that target training.
Again, it's the fact that
it doesn't think that there's food,
and that it knows that we're not feeding it,
so it's really good.
By the way, look who else is looking good.
Lucy's been cruisin' around.
She looks so good.
Again, I'm gonna give it a day or so,
and I'm gonna thaw out some food,
and I am pretty sure she's gonna eat,
because she's looking awfully thin in the back there.
Remember when she looked so bloated up.
I am so happy that my girl Lucy is looking good.
You guys know that I'm not goin through a day
without collecting at least
a couple colubrid clutches, right?
This time of year.
Well let's hope it keeps that way, regardless.
This is actually an Albino Quartz snake
that's het for Ghost Scaleless corn,
so hopefully this clutch will be a good clutch.
Because, this will be kind of interesting,
to be totally honest with you.
Ooh, yeah.
Looks like it's a good clutch of eggs right here.
Let me go ahead and just look at it.
Oh, yeah, it's just a little tiny female,
but definitely some good eggs.
Let's see if we can just slowly get mamma out from here.
Come on mamma, don't roll your eggs, baby, that's okay.
Ahh, good job.
And, again, that's a relatively small female.
That's about as small of a corn snake
as we'll ever breed here.
She was a two-year old animal,
so I'm sure Lori just thought
because she had the age on her, that she could breed,
but let me show you the male that she's bred to.
Look at this dude too.
He's actually pretty small as well,
but he is absolutely gorgeous.
Regardless, let's go ahead and get these eggs out,
and for a little girl, that's a beautiful clutch of eggs.
We'll just set 'em right in here.
That's two, four, six eggs.
No slugs.
Absolutely incredible.
I think we only have one more clutch of colubrid eggs,
but hey, I'm loving this time of year with eggs.
(electronic music)
Ho ho, what are you guys doing over here?
It's good that you guys are together,
which seems to always be the case.
I want to show you guys something.
- What do you got?
- We got
- [Brian] Okay, hang on right there,
I'm gonna come get 'em, all right?
- Oh my god
- [Brian] All right, turn around, I don't want you to look.
Turn around.
(soft electronic music)
Hang on a second.
Okay, you can look.
- Whoa! - Oh my god!
- What the hell? - Yes!
- Dude, those are huge!
- Look at the size of that!
That's like a chicken.
- [Brian] Pick one up.
- [Noah] I do not want to touch that thing.
- Oooh, my gosh.
- That thing is...
What?
What are these?
- Look at the size of that.
- [Brian] These are Suriname Marine Toads.
- What!
They are huge!
- Were they exposed to radiation?
- [Brian] I know, right?
- [Noah] They're from Chernoble?
- Isn't that crazy? - Dude!
- [Brian] Look at this.
Noah, grab one.
- I do not want to hold this thing
- Dude, no they're cool, man
- [Brian] You've got to hold it, come on,
- They're not cool, it's freaky
- [Brian] What are you talking about?
They are amazing.
- They're so big
- [Brian] Look it, it likes his beard.
He's a little beard baby
(laughing)
- Damn, these are strong!
- What the ha, how much does that thing weigh,
like thirty pounds?
- [Brian] I don't know.
They feel like they're like a pound,
or pound and a half, or something like that.
- Ya, a pound and a half, or two pounds at least
- I think these guys can literally get over two pounds,
is what I've heard.
So, I don't know, we'll to put 'em on the scale sometime.
But, are those cool or what?
(laughing)
- They're crazy. - This is, oh my god.
- We have to set 'em up over at The Reptarium,
get em all settled in, but I had to show these guys.
Been a minute since we collected
a Mexican Black King Snake clutch.
I think this girl was kinda of on the smaller side,
but we'll see how many eggs she potentially has,
and hopefully, they'll be good.
Oh yeah, they're definitely good eggs,
and she is definitely a smaller girl,
but she looks like she's done...
Yup, that looks like she's done.
But a pretty small clutch, just like I mentioned there.
Not very many eggs.
And, that's been kind of the case this year.
We have a lot of brand new females that were up to size
that were kind of on the small side,
so rather than getting six or eight eggs,
we've been getting a lot of three, four, five egg clutches.
But next year she'll definitely lay a big clutch.
Again, we put that shed up,
we'll get some water in with her,
and it looks like, if I'm not mistaken,
there's just gonna be three eggs in this clutch.
But again, Mexican Black Kings are absolutely incredible,
and are certainly sought after.
We have a bunch of clutches already on the ground,
and have a bunch more that are still gonna get laid.
And these smaller girls, we won't double-clutch,
but our larger females, we will double-clutch too,
so we have a bunch more
Mexican Black Kings on the way for sure.
That being said, that concludes
the colubrid egg collecting for the day.
- Well, it's feeding day here again, at BHB,
twice a week, so we really stay on top of it all,
and just going through the baby colubrids right now.
I can't even say baby colubrids,
'cause they're growing really fast.
We will have some babies soon.
We're just kind of going through,
getting everything fed, check on everything,
and we'll see you guys at the end of it.
(electronic music)
All right, so we're just wrappin' it up
here for feeding day.
We've just got this little Cali-King here.
Op, he's hungry today.
Drop him another one in there, and check 'em tomorrow.
Go through, check for poops, check for mice,
and that's about it, wraps it up.
- I'll tell you what guys,
there is your first video of the second thousand vlog
that I'm gonna be doing, so one thousand-and-one vlog.
And, for those of you that joined me for the first thousand,
thank you so much,
and let's make this next thousand even better.
Regardless, have an amazing day.
I love you guys.
Do me a favor, be kind to someone.
That promise, I'll see you tomorrow.
