- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I hope your start of your day is incredible
and I truly mean that.
Now my day is starting a little bit interesting
and the reason I say that is that
there are some branches on the ground.
There are a bunch of toys on the ground.
There's a shelf up here.
There's a bunch of shirts over here.
Things knocked down here and you know what that tells me
that tells me that somebody
didn't lock some cages last night, or at least one cage.
I actually wasn't here last night when we finished up
so I'm not gonna place any blame,
but we have to first figure out what is out
and then figure out where is it.
It would appear that it's something that can climb
pretty high and do quite a bit of damage.
There's a banana in there now.
What is out?
So we could do one of two ways here.
We can look around and hopefully find whatever is out
or we can look around and find cages
that are potentially open.
Okay, good news, anaconda's in his cage,
baby Carson is in his cage.
It looks like these cages are good.
They're not big enough and then there's boas in this cage.
Okay, we've got this, Al Machino,
remember Al went around for a little walk
about not too long ago.
We've got Sunfire okay.
We got Moo Moo.
The black-headed Jeffery seemed to be okay.
All right, so I would say everything
on this side seems to be in its enclosure, which is good.
Which means whatever was probably out,
came all the way from over here.
Let's see, what have we got?
What do we got?
So far I'm not seeing anything out
that I would think would cause damage.
Perdida is in his cage, Snaz is in with age.
I mean, I can't imagine that things
just fell off the shelf like that, right?
Okay, we got Elvis over here, which is good.
Toothless, we got Ubusuku.
We're running out of animals here, guys.
We've got Daisy and Sunrise and Casper.
What is going on?
Lucy's over here, guys.
Guys I don't see anything out.
Everything seems to be in its enclosure,
but yet a bunch of stuff was knocked down
all over the place over here.
What is up?
This is so strange, I mean, you could see like,
it was obviously climbing up here, whatever it is,
knocked a bunch of stuff down over here.
What is going on?
It was up here.
Like I said, there's a banana here.
This got knocked off the wall.
All right, the mystery continues.
What do you think happened here guys?
Unless we have a Holter guys.
(laugh loudly)
I don't know, I'm gonna keep looking around.
I mean, it's gotta be something out.
So knocked this thing down.
This is bizarre.
Okay, hang on.
Let's take a closer look.
Let's look at every single thing.
We've got monitors up here.
These guys, nothing can really do anything here.
Nothing can do anything here, again we've got Ivy here.
Aries is down here so we know he's not out.
Guys I'm kind of at a loss.
I don't know what's going on here.
Oh oh Jesus.
No, you gotta be kidding me.
It was Drogo.
Drogo's door was open and Drogo was out.
He's now back in his cage,
but somehow Jay must not have locked the door last night.
It was Drogo.
Drogo was out and cruising around.
I better look for surveillance footage guys,
'cause it's gonna be ridiculous.
Oh my gosh.
I cannot believe that Jay left Drogo's door open.
(bus engine roaring)
Wow that solves the mystery.
Oh my God.
All right, guys,
we got a lot of work to do today,
but that was a definitely crazy way to start the morning.
Let's see if we can find some surveillance video.
(dramatic music)
So obviously as a zoo,
it's important to keep our animals in.
We've done a good job of kind of making new protocols
for the reptiles that's why I thought
there's no way that reptiles could be out,
but I didn't, we're learning with the sloths, right?
And so this, I know this is going to sound so stupid guys,
but I can't believe I didn't figure this out.
I was thinking that someone might have left the door open
while obviously the door was locked, right?
You can't get in and out.
The door has a keypad on it.
What I didn't realize is that if it's locked from this side,
you can still open it from this side.
I was somehow thinking that if it was locked here,
it'd be locked on the other side
but that doesn't work, right?
When you lock the outside door,
you can still open from the inside
and Drogo sees us coming in going all the time,
he's so smart, he just figured that all you have to do
was grab this and pull it open and get out
and then as you can see,
he had a field day just cruising around the entire place.
So what do I do now?
I obviously have to go to the store and buy like a padlock
that locks here so we'll have a double lock, right?
So at night we'll padlock this,
that way he can't open the door,
again it just live and learn.
I feel so stupid for not realizing that he could do that.
I was thinking if the door's locked, he can't get out,
but of course he can do that.
So my mistake, total stupidity on my part.
Thankfully Drogo is okay, he did fine.
He didn't wreck anything other than the gift shop,
could have been a lot worse, right?
So live and learn, we're learning, we make mistakes.
I share the mistakes that I make.
I don't hide them.
This was a silly one guys,
but now we have to do our best to ratify it
and make sure he never gets out again
but he definitely had quite the adventure outside.
A little break from this sloth escape drama.
I tell it, I'm embarrassed about this guys,
I'm not gonna lie to you,
but I wanted to remind you about
the Black Friday sale at BHB Reptiles.
Again, this Friday from midnight to midnight,
there's gonna be everything
on the BHB site will be for sale.
All snakes, lizards, everything that we have.
So definitely make sure to check it out bhbreptiles.com.
If you're looking for something good,
it's gonna be everything's on sale,
again, bhbreptiles.com.
So solution for the sloth room
now that we realize that even if this door is locked,
he can still open it up from the inside
and obviously he has learned to do it.
And he is so smart,
you saw him cruising around.
It's amazing how intelligent that animal was.
Again, it's not that he didn't think
he was intelligent,
it's just crazy.
So he sees this,
he's now learned how to open, guarantee
he's gonna try to open again tonight.
So we have just a little latch here.
I'm gonna put it up here and they'll actually be
a padlock on it.
We'll go ahead and lock that up there.
Just so that the door doesn't open so that at night
we'll actually be locking this door and the padlock,
just as a secondary thing again,
again, I can't believe,
I didn't realize this was a possibility,
definitely embarrassed about it,
but hey, we'll get this fixed,
and it'll never happened again.
Oh, by the way, you guys may have realized
that I've been getting a little scruffy here lately.
It's the No-Shave November thing.
I think this is like the fourth year in a row.
I've tried to do it, I've never made it
past Thanksgiving before just saying I've gotta shave.
So we'll see if I get through this time or not.
So wish me luck, but that's why you're seeing my,
my kind of shaggy look,
let me know in the comments if you like it,
or if I should shave before the end of this month.
(upbeat music)
And that should be able to just lock like this
and if I'm not mistaken, the door cannot open.
So the worst he could do,
is just kind of open it to that point and that lock
will keep him in there.
So again, live and learn guys.
I mean, huge mistake on my part.
I own it, I definitely didn't want that to happen.
Thank God, should nothing happened to any of the animals,
including Drogo, things could have been a lot worse.
So I learned a very valuable lesson here.
We're all set, Drogo is gonna be in here for good now
and I tell you what that cheeky little monkey let's just go
ahead and see how he's doing in here.
What are you doing cheeky?
Where are you at now?
Oh, you're over here.
You try to act like you didn't do anything bad.
Drogo did you go on a little adventure?
I can't be mad at that cute little face.
As much as I'm not happy he did it,
he's just too cute to be mad at,
so, okay, he's back in his cage,
locked up for good now.
I can promise you that it'll never happen again.
As you guys know, I read your comments
and someone in the comments, said,
"could you please feed frillie Nova for me."
And Nova is, he's definitely hungry.
So I always love feeding this guy
and of course we always feed a Lilla too,
but look at Nova, you silly, have a bug.
There it is.
Good job, he is amazing.
Unfortunately, we didn't have to hold
a lot of babies this year.
Obviously it was a little disappointing,
but we got next year, we're beefing them up,
getting them ready and I think we'll do a much better job
of breeding this next year for sure.
Here, one more.
Here we go bud.
There he go.
Good job Nova,
I tell you what frilled dragons are really amazing
and again, if you guys comment, you wanna see something,
I do my absolute best to try to accommodate, you know,
I enjoy doing it as well.
I tell you what, as that sloth drama's coming down,
I had to just spend some time with some animals
and I want to show you how the Savu pythons
are starting to develop, right?
I mean, again, they are born much more red
changing a little bit of color,
but definitely getting a lot of size on them.
Now, starting to grow, starting look cooler and cooler,
you can see the head is just starting
to get a little bit more brown on it.
That kind of grayish look,
and it's gonna change a lot.
You can see a little paradox spotting in its back.
So the dark color is slowly coming in.
It's called an oxygenic color change
and that is absolutely incredible.
Again, Savu pythons are amazing.
Hopefully we'll have another big clutch this year
'cause we're just starting to breed.
Then again, guys, there is no excuse
for the mistake that I made
with letting Drogo out.
I mean, obviously I just didn't think
that he could open the door.
I thought it was locked from the inside.
I don't know what I was thinking.
A huge mistake on my part.
I'm sure I'll get beat up by some people,
but hey, I'm gonna tell you the truth.
We're learning.
We made all the changes we needed
to make after Al got out.
We're gonna do the exact same thing with Drago
and this will never happen again.
As a facility like mine,
it's just inexcusable
and I do apologize to you guys about that.
If you enjoyed this video,
here's a playlist of some cheaper baby snakes,
if you guys wanna roll through on that.
