(Brian) - This is a super exciting
clutch of ball python eggs
that I had been waiting for, for 57 days to actually cut.
We're about to find out what's inside them.
And this happens to be the female that laid this clutch.
It's actually an Enchi Pastave het Clown Ball Python.
So again, it's an Enchi, it's a pastel
it's a Mojave and it's het for Clown.
And it's absolutely a beautiful animal that
produced some really cool babies last year
and choose bread to the same male that we bred last year.
Cause we were so happy with the offspring
which actually is a Banana Clown Ball Python
because the clown is a recessive mutation.
On average, half of the babies should be clown.
And then there's all kinds
of combination of Banana, Pastel, Enchi, Mojave
all kinds of different stuff like that.
So I am definitely super excited to see what
this clutch hatches and I'm hoping when we cut this clutch
we get a couple of Zingers like we did last year.
Like this is one
of the Whole Backs that we actually hung on to.
It's just a Banana, Pastel, Enchi Clown Ball Python
on that has a super reduced pattern to it.
Absolutely incredible.
And this one's actually in shed right now
when it's out a shed, this thing is on fire.
And then this one was actually the all gene animal.
This happens to be a Banana Pastel Enchi
Mojave Clown Ball Python.
Absolutely incredible.
I tell you what, this is going to be a powerhouse male
for us next year when we're breeding some animals.
For sure.
So a lesson, you know
I think we could get some pretty cool stuff.
We've got five eggs.
Last year she actually had seven eggs
but the reason she had five eggs is a little bit of a story.
And that story actually, is she laid five eggs
and then she egg bound with four other eggs.
Now, the reason I'm telling you this is
that she passed all four eggs on her own.
I didn't have to assist her at all.
And that just goes to show you that if you ever
do have an egg bound animal, which hopefully you don't
a lot of times they will take care of it on their own
especially if those eggs are close to the anal vent, right?
So basically what we don't want is the eggs to be mid-body.
Cause if it's mid-body, they probably need surgery.
But in this case, I could tell
that the age are right down by her vent.
Don't know why she didn't lay them.
The next day she laid one egg and over the next week
week and a half, she laid the other four eggs
and now she's a hundred percent back
on food and doing incredible.
So now that we've seen some of the babies
from last year and we've seen the mom and dad
why don't you say we go ahead and cut this clutch
and see what we actually do get in there.
And again, with only five eggs
you never know what's going to end up happening
but there could be some bangers in here.
I tell you, I always get nervous.
I've cut so many hundreds, really thousands of clutches.
And still every time I have a clutch like this
I get nervous. Because you know
you could do something that's really kind of
like a het Clown per say, which is still cool.
But is it what we really want? All the way up to that.
All gene animal, which of course would be the Pastel,
Enchi, Banana, Mojave, Clown Ball Python.
So let's go ahead and jump into egg number one
and hope that those odds Gods are on our favor.
Let's do it.
All right.
First egg oftentimes sets the mood for the entire clutch.
So let's see what we have.
Let's see what we have.
Oh, okay.
Okay. No Clown, unfortunately, but ooh dog, whoa, dog.
That thing is gorgeous.
I tell you what, that is beautiful!
I, you know, I'm assuming this is a Pastel Enchi
Mojave half for Clown, but I'll be honest with you.
I've never seen any that had color like this.
That is a gorgeous snake.
So we did miss the Clown, but I tell you what I love
that it might, could it be a Banana?
You know, it's a Banana too.
That's, what's making that crazy color.
So, so basically we hit all the genes
minus a Clown in this one.
And I tell you what, that is an absolute ripper.
And it's going to be a great animal
because it's probably a male
because the Banana is a male maker.
That means that's going to be a male Banana Pastel,
Enchi, Mojave head Clown.
It's going to be a banger for someone that wants to
produce some cool Clown stuff in the future.
Four eggs to go, let's hit some Clowns.
All right, and again.
Sometimes you don't hit everything
and you can still produce something really spectacular.
So what is the second egg here?
It looks like we have definitely a Clown
and it looks like weirdly enough.
I think this is just the normal Clown.
It's really a reduced Clown.
Almost looks like a Bladeish type Clown
but I don't know that there's Blade
in this Clown project or not.
But the Blade Clown basically just has just
that stripe right down its back
with hardly any pattering on the side.
And that's what we look like we have here.
But unfortunately I don't know if it's Blade.
So regardless, definitely a beautiful Clown.
We haven't really hit a whole lot of odds when it comes
to the Clown and mutations,
but we still have three eggs to go
And the more I think about it, why it's probably reduced
like this, this is probably an Enchi Clown Ball Python
because that Enchi will. Yeah.
And the more I look at it, absolutely.
It's an Echi Clown.
When we see its head
that Enchi really messes with the head.
Can't see it in the egg there.
So I'm sure that's where they, so hey
we hit a pretty cool animal.
Enchi Clown.
Let's move on to egg number three.
All right, come on guys.
I really love Banana Clown stuff.
So I'm hoping we can get some Banana Clown
mutations that are combos.
It looks like we've got another Banana that may
or may not, looks like it might be a Clown.
Let's see.
Yep. We do.
We got a Clown here.
So this is definitely a Banana.
It looks like a Pastel.
It's definitely a Banana.
Looks like a Pastel.
Definitely a Clown.
I'm not sure if there's Enchi in this one.
So I think that we actually just produced a
Pastel Banana Clown Ball Python.
Right now, maybe there might be Mojave in there.
When this one hatches out, nevertheless
really a beautiful snake too.
And we've got two more to go.
It's a pretty cool stuff already, but we haven't
hit that dream snake all dream that we hit last year
with two eggs to go, hey, we can still hit it.
Right. So let's go ahead
and do it right in this egg right now.
All right, come on, come on, again.
I tell you, it never gets old people just looking
in these eggs and never knowing what you're going to get.
And ah, geesh, it looks like we've got a Banana
maybe a Banana Enchi that's het for Clown.
So it's kind of a bummer.
So we'd have had two clowns
out of four eggs, which is on average, right?
So we have one egg left.
Can it please be a clown
at least in some combination thereof.
What's interesting with this egg, take a look
at this egg right here.
It's actually fuzzy a little bit.
And that happens.
Sometimes it'll get a little bit of mold on it.
That's nothing to really worry about.
As long as the mold doesn't turn green.
Usually no big deal at all that happens every now and then.
So come on guys.
Please give me something good.
Let's hit it right here.
Come on.
You know, I love ending a cutting with a bang.
You guys know that, so let's see what we got here.
Ooh, let me see.
Let me see.
Definitely a Banana.
Is it?
Ah, it isn't again.
So we didn't hit a Clown on this one again.
So this clutch is still really cool.
We hit some really cool stuff, but we miss they're kind
of all gene animal.
We didn't get any really Banana, Mojave Clowns or Banana
Enchi Clowns or any of that type of stuff.
We didn't hit any of that.
We still hit some good stuff.
That's how it goes, guys.
I'm not complaining.
Cause we still got two beautiful Clowns and we
got some cool hat Clown stuff.
So Hey, all in all.
It's good.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it and do me a favor when
we're cutting eggs, go down below
and you know, guess as I go.
So that way we can have fun together.
- Back in the bar check kitchen
which can only mean one thing.
My friend's over at Hello Fresh are hooking me up.
Today, Santa Fe pork tacos.
That's right.
These look absolutely scrumptious.
I'd been working with Hello Fresh for a long time.
Been using Hello Fresh for about two years.
The thing that's great
about Hello Fresh has got more five-star recipes
than any other meal kit out there.
I love it because it makes me a great chef.
Just like you're going to find out today.
It cuts time out of my life.
I don't have to think about anything.
They just send me a bag.
They send me the ingredients and I actually cook them.
I don't have to go
to the grocery store that could take like 40
plus minutes to go to the grocery store.
I don't have that time.
Not to mention you save 28%
on average because there's less waste.
There's less meal preps and there's less waste.
It's actually great.
Right? It taste great.
And if you want to get
on a diet, there's low carb, there's vegetarian.
There's all kinds of different options for you guys.
Not to mention they have large box sizes now for you
big families out there that need large boxes.
Like our family kind of needs that to be totally
honest with you.
And also they're really great about the environment.
Their content comes in already recycled
or ready to be recycled content, which is better
for the environment, which is better for you guys.
And at any time you can kind of change your meal, plan up
add proteins, add desserts, takeaway, skip a week
whatever you might do.
It's absolutely incredible.
Like I said, for a guy like me, that's as busy as I am.
I need help.
When it comes to the kitchen, it's going to make me look
like an absolute wizard in the kitchen.
They always do.
It always tastes great.
I know sometimes between me and you
I'm going to tell Lori it's Hello Fresh.
I just say I came up
with the recipes and she's blown away by it.
So let's, let's go ahead and get into some cooking.
Hello Fresh uses a selection of tasty extras

(Brain) - Oh and good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the log Reptile Army.
I hope to start your day is amazing.
By the way remember when someone sent us that Iorvy rock.
Well, that's now right down here for anyone that comes
we actually hide rocks around.
People had rocks around.
It's really cool.
And speaking of Reptile Army, go to ReptileArmy.com.
You can get the Fear Me shirt.
You can get whatever you possibly want.
I mean, I love the Fear Me shirt.
Definitely one of our best sellers.
We've got like six or eight more
design's going to be dropping here in the next few days.
So go to ReptileArmy.com.
Join the movement.
(Jay) - All right guys,
so we got my boy Tamale here
and we're going to do some blue ball training with this guy.
He loves the ball.
He loves beef.
Should go great.
Come on.
Oh yeah, there you go.
Get that down.
Tasty. Is that focus?
Focus. Oh yeah, here we go.
Here we go.
Come on.
Savage.
Let's go to Tamale.
Yeah, come on.
Open as a ten.
Boom. There we go.
We'll go ahead and reward that.
Come on.
Boom. And that right there is exactly what we wanted.
We wanted them out, eating, back in.
So we're going to go ahead and give him one last piece.
So it Tamale it's super awesome.
How all motivated
he is. So we're going to open up the doors
for doing amazing feedings with him.
He isn't really the happiest guy being pet
but he does love this ball.
He does love to eat.
So honestly, it's going to go great.
(Brain) - So I absolutely
love this little guy.
This is one of our, what they call Ackie monitors.
This is a little dwarf monitor
from the Northwest part of Australia.
And they actually even can be on some
of the islands right off the coast of Australia.
And this is what they would call a red Ackie monitor.
It's actually three subspecies of Acanthurus.
There are Varanus Acanthurus that's where their name
Ackie monitor actually comes from.
And a lot of people actually think
that the red Ackie's have a little bit longer tail
and get a little bit larger than some of the other ones.
But the truth is, is that
even a big Ackie is maybe 17 to 20 inches.
Males will typically get larger.
Females are smaller.
Some they call sexual dimorphism.
So the females stay about maybe 14 to 15 inches.
Males can sometimes reach up to 20, 22 inches.
Something like that.
This guy is actually about three years old.
The thing that's so amazing about it, is that again
I always talk about the fact
that these guys are like little tiny Elvis's right?
Like just like Elvis, you can train them
you can teach them, you can interact with them.
You can have a relationship just like we do with Elvis.
That's almost five and a half, six foot
but this little pint size animal.
And there's a handful of dwarf monitors
from Australia. Ackie's being the most common
of them and the most readily available.
So the fact is if you want the monitor lizard
and you think my gosh, I would love to have Elvis
but there's just no way I can have an eight
or 10 foot cage or something like that.
This is absolutely a doable animal.
Again, you want a pretty big hotspot
because these guys do come
from the area that it's going to get maybe 115
120 degrees during the daytime.
And they are a diurnal animal, meaning that they are out
in the daytime and then they sleep during the night time.
So they're baking in the sun.
So you want that really big, hot spot, but then
you want a cool spot.
Cause they will go into caves to get away from things.
You don't want that to be about 80, 82 degrees
maybe 84 degrees.
At the most part, they definitely eat mainly insects.
And we sometimes give them little piece of meat
but mainly an insect or absolutely one from you.
Just take a look at how cute that little animal is.
It's just so awesome to think that this is an adult here.
Not going to get any larger and I can still play
with it the same way that I would play with Elvis
without having the huge claws and all the other stuff.
So I tell you what I love little Ackie monitor's definitely
an awesome animal.
If you want a monitor
but you don't have the size for a giant one.
(Brain) - What is Matilda doing?
You guys know that we actually let the tortoises come
out whenever they want.
They just push their way out and walk around
to this morning, came in and Matilda's been
out all day. She's in there walking around just
kind of enjoying herself.
She is absolutely amazing.
And I love the fact that they have the freedom
and they can stay in their closure if they want to.
And they can push the way out if they want to.
She's just having a little walkabout today.
So she's absolutely beautiful.
She's looking at Sunrise right now.
Probably like, can I eat you?
You are absolutely wonderful animal, but I love
that they get the freedom like that.
- I wish all the animals could just be set free
- and just roam her around. But, but Tilda
- Definitely an absolute wonderful animal.
- Alright Jay. You ready?
- Yes.
- You ready to see?
- I'm never taking a vacation again.
- Oh, that's perfect.
- Oh, is this real life?
- That's real.
That's what it sort of looked like.
So the rep tarans is down here right now
and that's the top side.
- Oh my God.
When does it start?
(Brain) - Next week?
No, I don't know we're working on it.
Actually. I'm going to go talk to a guy right now.
A construction guy.
- Oh my God.
(Brain) - Yep. Yeah.
- This is beautiful.
(Brain) - Isn't it amazing?
- Yeah. It's going to be great.
- You guys ready to play the egg game?
That's right.
We actually have a VPI
Axanthic around some eggs and here she is.
And again, the Axanthic
and this happens to be a VPI Axanthic which is Vita
per coder, international string.
And basically there's like three different types
of Axanthic's.
They aren't compatible with one another.
If you breed a snake keeper
what they call the Sutherland Axathics to the VPI
you'll actually get normal babies.
So you definitely don't want to do that.
Most people do keep the VPI
but they all really are beautiful.
And they're just licking the yellow pigment
which is called Zand for, and it's pretty cool
because it's bred to this dragon fly het, Axathic VPI.
So basically it's a Pastel, it's a Fire.
It's a pinstripe and it's het for VPI.
So down in the comments, what will I potentially produce
from a VPI female to a dragon fly het, VPI
remembering it's a recessive mutation.
So let's go ahead and see what this girl has.
I see a slug or two in here
which is not something I was hoping for.
Ah, yeah, there's a few different slugs in here
but there's also some good eggs.
So that's a little bit of a bummer.
Now that male actually only fathered one clutch so
far this year and it was all fertile.
I think there was one slug in that clutch.
So it's a little bit of a disappointed
that this girl that typically lays a really
good clutch would actually have some slugs, but hey
that's all part of the deal.
We have four slugs in here right now.
We'll go ahead, get mama back,
get her all cleaned up and then we'll count the eggs.
We've got 2, 4, 6 good eggs 4 slug eggs.
That would have been a 10, eight clut, but hey
we still have 6 eggs, down in the comments.
Let me know what you think we're going to have.
We actually have a couple more Ball python clutches
but we're going to go ahead and pull those over on Patrion.
Link is in the description.
We're just trying to pull a handful
of clutches here and there for this watch
so we don't bore you guys that much.
The rest of the people that want to watch all
of our eggs full and you can check it
out over on Patrion.
Another cool species of Australia.
Australia has all the cool animals.
Don't they?
I mean, they have so many cool things
but of course they're the Blue-tongued skinks.
Now this happens to be Irwin
which is a Northern blue-tongued skink.
And there's a bunch
of different subspecies of what they would call
Tiliqua scincodies.
This one is really known as Tiliqua scincodies intermedia.
Although there are some people now that are
calling them Tiliqua scincodies scincodies as well.
I'm not exactly sure how that classification is working
but basically this is just a little bit
in the more Northern animal on the East side of Australia.
So you're going to find these animals all throughout
mainly Queensland, maybe the very tip
of the North part of New South Wales.
Then when you get down
into the New South Wales, like the Sydney area
you get Eastern,
which are definitely the scincodies scincodis.
And then of course there's some other species
like potato and stuff like that.
That I'll show you in a second.
But nevertheless, I love the Australia and skinks.
I think they're absolutely amazing.
And the Northern's are the ones that are the most common
here in the America.
You definitely see them
because you can't import them out of Australia anymore
and you can't even import them out of Europe anymore.
So no imports come into the country except for the ones
out of Indonesia, which are actually Tiliqua gigas.
So they're not scincodies.
So no scincodies can be important to the country.
So whatever we have here is what we have here.
And most of them are actually Northern.
And then like I mentioned, we actually have potato.
He is actually a Centralian and blue-tongued skink.
So these guys come from the red center of Australia
the Atlas Springs area, all the way down into the Oola Rue.
And so on like that, these guys are definitely
a lot less common here in the country.
There's just a handful of these guys.
And again, these are actually a Tiliqua scincodies
multifasciata, and again.
I absolutely love them.
I mean, it's probably the Westerns and the
Centralian's are my favorite
of all the blue-tongued skinks.
And actually I have a friend down
in Florida that might have some baby Westerns this year.
And if he does, I definitely have to get those guys.
Cause then I'll have kind
of all them I'll have the Eastern's
I'll have the Western's
I'll have the Centralian's.
And of course I'll have the Northern's.
Now there are black skinks.
And of course Bob tail skinks, which are the shingle backs
but it would be cool to have all of that at the
zoo I'll be totally honest with you.
But potato is pretty darn awesome.
You guys know, I read your comments.
So there's someone has been dropping comments
for the last week or so saying
if you get an Everglades rat snake collected,
please show it.
- So guess what! This is for you. It's actually
for everybody, but this is actually what they
would call a white sided Everglades, rat snake.
They used to call them ghost Everglades, rat snakes.
Don't bite me.
I knew you were going to bite me.
Yeah. That's that's what Everglades do that's for sure.
Especially when they have eggs.
So we'll go ahead and get this egg box out of here.
I'll tell ya, mama is upset.
- Look at her.
Woah. Come on, girl.
You're okay.
Get back in there.
Sheesh, oh please. We'll get her all cleaned up.
What a pistol.
Huh?
- So again, the way Everglades rat snakes
typically lay eggs is they'll lay them in all
over the place, but they're kind of buried kind of
in the sphagnum, which is kind of cool.
It's so when you find them
it's almost like a little Easter egg hunt, right?
So we have no idea how many eggs are in here.
We just keep on.
It's literally like treasure hunt in here.
We do have one little Slugger right here.
The rest of the eggs actually looked pretty good.
So hopefully all of the eggs will be good
and we'll get them all out
of here. Slowly but surely.
See how many eggs she has.
And again, this is a white sided
which is a recessive mutation
and it's actually just bred to a normal Everglades.
That's het for white sided.
So about half the eggs will actually be white sided.
Half the eggs will be normal.
A couple more slogs.
Definitely not the clutch that I wanted from this girl
but for, well, here's some more good eggs right here.
These are nice.
So yeah, it's not a bad clutch.
Yeah known, a couple of slugs and stuff like that
but for the most part, mainly good eggs.
We'll make sure we've got all the eggs out.
Yep. We sure do.
We've got 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 eggs.
So there you have it
for the person that wanted Everglades clutch.
You seen it.
So there you go.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog and the egg cutting.
Some pretty cool babies.
No doubt about it.
You did enjoy it.
Here's a playlist of a egg cutting galore.
If you want to check out a couple
of those videos on this side, could you do me a favor
and subscribe to this vlog channel.
Have absolutely wonderful day Reptile Army.
Remember be kind to someone.
And I promise I'll see you in the next one.
