- This is a ripper female right here.
This is actually a lemonblast
that's het for VPI Axanthic.
And it's bred to this dragonfly het
for VPI Axanthic.
Last year, we actually induced the firefly VPI Axanthic
from this exact pair.
And it looks like mama's definitely protecting her eggs.
It looks like a beautiful clutch.
Look at how many eggs these are!
Ooh, come on, mama.
Let's get off of 'em, that's all right.
Here you go, girl.
All right, we'll put her up here.
Hopefully, she won't bite us.
That is a gorgeous clutch right there.
Here, we got a couple rollers here
which we will definitely candle here in a minute.
Mama, calm down, calm down!
So we have two, four, six, eight, nine beautiful eggs.
Let's go ahead and get these over to the incubator.
We're gonna be able to cut these
in about 57 days.
For you guys, it's gonna be in about five minutes.
I am beyond excited.
But, you know, I'm excited about every clutch.
We're up to 60 something clutches of eggs in the incubator.
This happens to be that lemonblast het VPI
to the dragonfly het VPI.
So a lot of potential
for some really cool silver-y, beautiful animals.
30 Days in, we still got two, four, six, eight, nine eggs.
We have not lost one egg yet.
We still got 26, 27 more days to go.
But at this point, they're looking pretty promising
and I think we're gonna have a good time.
- Okay, we have to ask all the crew five questions,
or else they're fired.
Connie?
(knuckles tapping)
We have some questions for you or your fired!
- Are you ready?
- Yeah.
- That was the first question. - Okay.
- She passed, question two.
- Is it trivia?
- Yeah.
- (groans) No!
- What is the main difference between boas and pythons?
- Obviously like their heads.
- She was gonna say their tongues-
- I don't know.
Constrictors, they kill their prey by choking 'em out.
- Think Lucy, Ivy.
Hit us with something. - Lucy, Ivy?
Well, Ivy's aquatic.
She's aquatic-loving.
Wait, no, are we really doing this to me?
- All right, we're moving on. - Boa.
- You're fired. - No, don't put me
in the closet!
- Okay.
- We actually have a few more questions.
- So you failed the second question.
- Yeah.
- If you answer them wrong, you get fired.
- Question number one, what are the main differences
between boas and pythons?
- No heat pit, boas are life-bearers.
They have a different body shape.
- We gotta give Alyssa a chance-
- Sorry. - Anything you wanna add
to that? - Maria covered it all.
- It's the night before the cut.
Tomorrow, we get to cut this clutch.
It's really cool.
Of course, it's the lemonblast het VPI
to the dragonfly het VPI.
So we started with nine eggs
and we still have
two, four, six, eight, nine beautiful eggs.
So it's gonna be an absolutely amazing day tomorrow.
You get a chance
to see if we have any axanthic VPI,
dragonfly axanthic VPIs, axanthic pinstripes,
all kinds of different stuff.
So one more sleep.
Tomorrow morning, we wake up, we take these
over to the shop and we get a chance to see what is in 'em.

I love the knocking thing.
- [Noah] We gotta get one of these things.
- [Friend] I know.
(wings fluttering)
- Hey!
It jumped off.
- And after a good night of sleep, thinking
about cutting this clutch of eggs, I'm excited
to get them over to the shop and see what's inside.
Like I said, hopefully,
it'll be some nice silver axanthic babies.
What do you say we take 'em to the shop
and go ahead and cut 'em?
- [Jay] Oh God.
- [Noah] Bad choice Noah.
- Wow.
- Like that?
Are you jealous you don't have your J one?
- Got you, you thought...
I got you for a second.
- Ready?
(keys jingling)
Boom.
- Yeah, we don't need bad choice Noah.

- No.
- Go on, get out. - No.
- [Vision] Hello.
- Connie, next question, okay?
- Uh-huh.
- What does ectothermic mean?
- Ectothermic means that they get heat
from outside sources.
(group cheering)
- Second to last question,
what does ectothermic mean, Alyssa?
- Ecto...
- Hit us with it.
- Ectothermic, 'ecto' would be like out.
'Thermic' is like, heat.
- Turn around real quick.
- No, hi.
(group laughing)
Can I ask a serious question?
But I didn't know you guys were filming.
- [Friend] Okay, no, we'll stop filming.
What's the question?
- It's really, now I feel embarassed
'cause it's not that important.
Where's the R-G-B, ROYGBIV, what is it called?
- It's A-B-G.
- It's A-B-G, first off.
- Basement on the gift shop side.
- I looked there and I didn't see it.
- It's there.
When you go downstairs - I'll go look harder.
Sorry to interrupt.
- [Noah] There's four corners.
- Alyssa's got her answer, come on.
- [Friend] Did you tell her?
- No! - Wait a minute.
- No, I figured it out- - They were cheating.
- All on my own.
- She Googled it.
- They need heat from outside sources.
They have to lay on- - Look at her smile.
- Like warm sand.
- [Friend] You guys are so full of crap.
- No, she- - You told her the answer!
- No! - I gave her a hint.
- [Friend] Look at me in the eyes, did she cheat?
- I gave her a hint.
- Told it once and I figured it out from there.
- You're lying, 'cause she's about
to say something completely different
than what you're saying right now.
- 'Cause 'exo' is outside.
- [Jay] Hi Sally.
- [Sally] Hey everybody.
- [Friend] Hi guys, how are ya?
I'm wonderful, is your husband here?
- Yeah.
- [Friend] Where is he?
- Sleeping.
- [Friend] No, he's not, no, he's not.
- Let me join him.
- [Friend] Bill, knock-knock.
Is he really sleeping?
- He takes a nap.
- [Friend] You're taking a nap back there, dude?
(group laughing)
- I just got here a half-hour ago.
He says, "I gotta take a snooze."
- [Friend] No way, I love it, that's-
- I gotta take a snoozer.
- He's gotta take a snoozer.
- And it is time, guys!
I hope there's gonna be a bunch of silver babies in here.
That's what the hopes are for sure.
Egg number one, let's see what we got.
Like I said, last year we produced some rippers
from this exact pairing
and right off the bat, we have what looks like a dragonfly
which is a fire, a pastel, a pinstripe.
And it's a possible het
because when you breed het to het there's is a 66% chance
that they're het.
So it's not a het, it's a possible het.
Let's see if we get a silver baby in the next one.
What do we got?
Looks silver.
Oh, yes!
This is the dragonfly axanthic VPI.
This is the all gene animal here that we're hoping for.
Absolutely stunning!
That thing is crazy-looking.
We already knew it was proven out
because last year, we produced some axanthics from it.
We produced one of those.
We've already produced one of those
and we still have two, four, six, seven eggs to go.
So that is super exciting.
Let's just keep on moving on.
Egg number three, see what we got.
Let's hope for another axanthic.
Whoa, what?
What in the world?
This one is disgusting!
So listen, this is...
I didn't even think about it.
This is actually the super pastel dragonfly.
So we'd call it a superfly axanthic.
So I hadn't even thought
that we were gonna produce something like that.
That is just a silver animal with a super faint pattern.
So that actually, is the all gene animal.
So we are crushing it.
Oh my God, that was amazing.
I didn't even think about the fact
that we could get a super pastel out of it.
So that is unbelievable.
That is a ripper.
Probably gonna keep that one 'cause I absolutely love it.
Let's see what else we got.
Oh, let's if they're silver.
Oh, look at that, an axanthic!
This is just a normal axanthic, so we've hit three.
Oh gosh, look at how cool that is.
You hit three axanthics in a row
and we've hit the dragonfly, the superfly
and then of course, a normal axanthic.
Wow, what a clutch this is turning out to be!
We still have five eggs to go.
This is ridiculous.
- Polycephaly?
- What is- - He can't even,
if you can't even say the question, you can't ask it.
- I'm dyslexic.
What does polycephaly mean?
- Okay, so 'poly' means many,
'ceph' I don't know what that Latin root is from.
A head?
So, they have multiple heads.
They're like, multiple heads.
- How'd she know that
but doesn't know what a chameleon is?
(Connie laughing)
- Good job, Connie, you passed.
- [Connie] Okay, all right, bye.
- [Noah] How did she know that?
- Okay, now I'm gonna be disappointed
if every single one isn't silver to be honest with you.
That's crazy, run and again, wait a second,
yep, another silver.
This is definitely just a lemonblast.
So this is an axanthic lemonblast.
So we're getting all the axanthic stuff, unbelievable.
But there's all combinations of a dragonfly,
superfly, axanthic and then, lemonblast axanthic.
Wow, this is ridiculous.
I couldn't imagine it did this well.
So why don't you guys go ahead and comment down below
and tell me what you think is gonna be in this egg here.
You ready?
You gotta be kidding me right now.
What in the world?
This is another super, unbelievable.
This is another superfly and it looks to be axanthic.
There's a chance it could just be a superfly.
I see a little bit of yellowing in here.
Yeah, I think it is.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's axanthic.
At first I thought, "Oh my gosh, another superfly axanthic."
But I actually think that it's actually just a superfly
that is a possible, again, 66% possible het axanthic.
Three more, here we go.
Now I'm jonesing for more silver snakes, that's all I want.
And looks like a normal ball python.
So this is just a normal ball python
that's possible het axanthic, that's it.
Two eggs to go, let's end on a bang here, guys.
This is amazing.
Silver, silver, silver, silver, silver.
Nope, another normal ball python.
So two normal ball pythons in a row.
We've got one egg to go.
Boy, we were on a run there for a minute.
But let's go ahead and see if this last egg
at least, ends with a bang.
Come on, be something amazing.
Ugh, looks like we just have a pinstripe
that's possible het axanthic.
So we ended kind of a little bit weak
but we started super strong.
And there's some amazing animals in here.
So we'll wait a couple days.
These guys will crawl out
and I'll show you what they look like.
And then of course, we're gonna wait till they shed
and they're gonna really look amazing.
All in all, it was a great clutch.
- What is polycephaly?
Don't look at Maria.
Do you need help looking it up too?
- I've never even heard this word.
- We say it all the time in the blog-
- All the time.
- You think I watch the blog?
- Yeah, I know you do.
- Only when I'm in 'em.
- You're not subscribed? (Maria laughing)
- Oh, I'm subscribed and I have the bell.
- Ding!
- Maria, tell us what polycephaly means.
- So 'poly' is having multiple of something.
- Right. - Double heads, right?
- Alyssa has to agree or disagree for it to be correct.
- Sure, yeah, I agree.
I agree to whatever Maria says.
- All right, I guess they're still both employed.
- (chuckles) Nice try, guys.
- And the clutch is all hatched out,
and there are some rippers in here too.
This is actually a super dragonfly
that's possible het for VPI.
To be honest with you, this is the one
that I thought was also a VPI
but you could see, it's got a lot of yellow
in it, unbelievable.
And I'm just gonna go ahead, set all of these guys up
as we go.
We have just a normal dragonfly.
This is basically what the dad looks like, right?
It's a normal dragonfly
but this is a possible het VPI.
Then we actually have a fire pinstripe here.
You could see
those two combinations work together really well.
You add pastel and that's what makes it the dragonfly.
Then initially, I thought this was a VPI axanthic
but in actuality, it's a fire VPI axanthic.
Again, the dragonfly is a fire, a pastel and a pinstripe.
This is the fire version of an axanthic.
Then we get into some beautiful snakes here.
Once these guys shed,
and I'm gonna show you guys later in the vlog
after these shed, you're gonna be blown away
at these things.
This is actually the dragonfly VPI axanthic.
So again, it's a pastel, it's a fire, it's a pinstripe.
It's an axanthic, woo doggy, that thing is beautiful.
Then there's the creme de la creme
which is of course, the superfly VPI axanthic,
which is a super pastel.
It's a fire, it's a pinstripe and it's axanthic.
Wow, I cannot wait till this thing sheds
'cause it's gonna look so silver-y
and so absolutely beautiful.
And finally, we just have a pastel
that's possible het VPI axanthic.
We'll set these guys up here, get 'em some water,
let 'em shed out here in the next four or five, six days.
And I'm gonna show you
as soon as they shed out, how amazing they look.
(friend speaking in background)
- [Friend] Is that a car alarm, what the hell was that?
He doesn't even want me.
- And the clutch shed out
and they look absolutely incredible.
Starting with this superfly here,
which is a super pastel fire pinstripe
that is het for VPI axanthic.
And then this one here would actually be just a dragonfly
which is a pastel, a fire and a pinstripe.
So it's just missing that second expression of pastel.
And then we start getting into the axanthic stuff.
This is actually a fire VPI axanthic,
what an incredible snake.
And these guys are all little pistols.
They are so funny.
But after that shed, wow, they look good.
And then take a look at this one here.
We actually produced one of these last year as well.
This is actually a dragonfly VPI axanthic.
It is a pastel, it's a fire, it's a pinstripe
and it's axanthic
which is a recessive mutation, unbelievable!
And then, woo-hoo doggy!
Then we finally got the real ripper here.
This is the superfly VPI axanthic.
So again, it's the super pastel, it's a fire,
it's a pinstripe and it's axanthic, absolutely wonderful.
And these things look amazing now that they shed out.
Speaking of out, hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist
that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button,
it would mean a lot to me.
Also, hit that like button
