How gorgeous are those?
So, it's cool that the twins are out.
- [Child] Oh my god she ate it!
(high energy music)
- Hey good morning, everybody!
It is 6:00am, it is gonna be a long day,
but I am super excited.
First thing to do is a new spot for the local Fox channel.
I hope that you guys are having an absolutely amazing day!
It's super excited again,
we get some new stuff this morning,
then we do opening for the reptarium later on today,
then a movie night tonight. Oh my god,
it's gonna be a great day!
Just a little reset,
we are literally doing three live spots on the
local Fox News Affiliate.
And the host is actually pretty afraid of snakes.
So the first round we actually got him to hold
the tail end of Sunersise!
He actually seemed pretty receptive to it.
We're gonna try to pull out Taz the Tegu next time.
And who knows what else is next.
Again, it's about changing minds.
Whether its a TV Host or people who are watching.
I think it's amazing that we're continuing to reach
a lot of people.
And hey, later on tonight some people who watch today,
might actually come and visit the reptarium,
and we may be able to change their mind about the animals.
Between new's spots, I have to work on Lucy's cage.
She sheds, she poops, she did everything over here.
That's the only downside to these big cages,
not only do you have to walk in with the animal.
But when she sheds like this,
Oh my gosh,
it's a mess.
Let's try to do this!
And I might have mentioned earlier today.
I was in here just trying to clean up,
just leaving her alone, and she did strike at me
and almost bit me.
So this should be pretty fun.
Lucy, you gonna be okay today?
Come on, girl.
Oh she's hooked.
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Whatever you do, don't bite me, please.
I don't know what to do, I think I might just go for it.
I tell you what,
that went unbelievably well.
Earlier this morning she was mad, she was striking.
This time she went right in there.
That was absolutely the best case scenario I could imagine.
Now, the hard part.
Andrea, are you excited about this?
We have to clean this whole cage.
Oh my gosh, what a nightmare.
She's just a little pup,
she's only about a year old.
One of the things we really wanna do here,
at the Reptarium is have unusual animals like this.
You're not gonna find these in many places, right?
Alright, so now we gotta get Lucy back in the cage.
She's got a little bit of shed on her,
so I'm gonna see if I can't get that off as we're going in.
Done with all the TV spots, went absolutely amazing.
Again, it's just about reaching people.
Trying to get people out to the Reptarium,
so that they can get hands on and get over their fears,
enjoy, or show their love, whatever it might be.
I wanted to show you guys,
here's the latest thing we put on exhibit here.
We literally just today are bringing over this
Mandarin Rat Snake!
What a beautiful snake.
And this exhibit is gonna look absolutely incredible.
I am absolutely loving this.
This was originally gonna be cave gecko exhibit,
but we found out they just hid all the time.
So we thought, lets just bring a Mandarin Rat Snake in.
And oh my gosh, is this thing gorgeous!
So when you come to the Reptarium,
you'll have a chance to meet this one.
Remember all those comments,
where you guys told me the door didn't look good
in the aisle way? Well guess what,
Lori gave the door a makeover,
now it is the same color, looks really good Lori.
And we're gonna actually put some like,
vines and some other stuff on here after it dries.
But at least,
that white door is no longer an eyesore in the Reptarium.
Before the Reptarium opens today,
I wanted to share with you some of the Hrithik's,
that'd have already hatched out.
We had three containers of eggs,
and two of them completely hatched out.
The other one just had heads poking out,
it's just really weird because it's right next to eachother.
It should be the same temperature, but hey,
that's just how it goes.
Regardless,
look how beautiful these monkeys are.
Again, these should all be Citrons,
and some are just Tiger Citrons.
I mean just look at how amazing these guys are.
There are a few of them in here,
they are absolute stunners!
I mean, take a look at this one right here.
Oh my gosh, I mean that thing is ridiculous.
And there's a bunch of them.
Oh and this is just one of the little twins here.
Remember we had the twins?
This is a twin here, and then this is it's sibling.
And they both look really similar.
I had mentioned that they almost look like identical twins,
because they have the exact same pattern.
How gorgeous are those?
So it's cool that the twins are out!
But I tell you what,
all of these babies are absolutely incredible.
I mean look at the orange eyes on this guy right here.
Whew, doggie.
I am so excited! And by the way,
for those of you guys interested in these guys.
I'm gonna be a little bit selective.
I don't just want anyone to buy these.
I wan't to make sure that people can
actually take care of big snakes.
So feel free to reach out.
It's gonna be a couple weeks before they shed and eat.
If you have any interest in any of these
Citrons, Tiger Citrons, or whatever.
Like I said, please reach out.
Let us know if you have the responsibility to keep this.
We're only gonna have maybe 35 or 36 animals available.
So if it's something you're interested in,
definitely reach out to us.
But I couldn't be more excited.
Where you going, little buddy?
Uh oh, we got an escaper!
Where's she going? Oh my gosh!
This guy almost got away!
I tell you what,
I'm not good at this snake sitting thing, for any means.
I gotta get these guys back before they get away now.
On the docket for tonight,
we're open to the public four to nine tonight.
Some lucky kid, maybe adult, who knows.
Is gonna get a free python egg.
One of Lucy's little eggs,
we have a hand full of these that we'll give away.
We have movie night tonight.
I am feeding Lucy, hopefully,
because she's being a little stinker!
She's way up on the top of tree over here.
So I'm not 100% sure how that's gonna work out.
I am gonna feed Argumas Prime,
I'm also gonna feed Tazzie the Tegu.
We're gonna have a fun time tonight,
and just hand out with some people.
So let's hope that today is a success.
What do you say we open the Reptarium?
Welcome to the Reptarium.
Come on in, sorry it took me a little longer than I wanted.
How you guys doing?
- [Women] Good, hi.
- [Brian] So these guys drove all the way from,
where'd you come from?
- Springfield, Ohio.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, and how far is that?
- About 400 miles.
- 400 miles, oh my gosh! I'm so happy they came.
I hope that you're gonna have an amazing time.
I'm gonna do everything I can do to make your stay amazing.
Let me know what snakes you wanna see,
we'll pull some stuff out and we'll have a good time.
- Sweet. Thanks, man.
- [Brian] So you're telling me you've never held a snake?
- Yes.
- [Brian] And you wanna hold a snake?
- Yeah.
- Okay let's go find her a snake to hold.
Ready?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Alright just put your hands out.
I'm gonna set her in here, like that.
And you can just hold onto her a little bit.
You're doing so good.
Goodjob!
What do you think?
- Good.
- Another awesome day at the Reptarium.
Absolutely having a great time.
Actually heading over next store to grab my rabbit.
I don't know how this is gonna go,
trying to feed Lucy. I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
She's up in a tree, it's gonna be death defying.
But I'm gonna go get a frozen rabbit right now.
So it is six o'clock, we have a group of people
that want to see me feed Lucy.
Probably they're really hoping I get bit,
is what's really happening.
But no, let's go inside and see if we can get Lucy.
I'm definitely worried about the fact that
she's way up in a tree and there's really no way to do this.
- [Boy] Oh my god, she ate it!
- [Brain] Alright, well she took it!
She's up in the tree, guys. I don't know what to do.
We're just gonna have to wait and see.
This could take a long time,
you guys are more than welcome to take a look and watch.
I'm not sure what's gonna happen, this is a first for me.
So anyways, guys. Lucy definitely took the rabbit.
She's way up in the tree. So let's see what happens.
There he is.
- [Boy] This is awesome
- [Brian] And that's it, Argumes.
Goodjob, Argumes.
Definitely another successful night at the Reptarium.
This is definitely amazing. I love it.
I just love how the kids are loving Sunrise.
You're doing great, bud!
- You're filming this?
- It's good to see that Lucy is finally taken it.
She actually dropped it when she was in the tree.
So I had to regive it to her,
but now that she's down here, she's eating like a champ.
That is really good to see.
What do you guys think? Cool to watch the snake eat?
- Amazing!
- [Brian] Isn't it crazy just to think,
that snake without arms can eat like that.
It's insane, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- So we're wrapping up the day,
and we're about to get to the movie time.
I don't know how this is gonna go.
It's gonna be absolutely incredible.
My friend actually brought us a bunch of donuts last week.
And Laurie ate, what how many dozens of donuts did you eat?
- At least one and a half.
- At least one and half dozens of donuts.
Thank you. But today she brought me something else.
I can't wait to see what this is!
Awww, this is awesome.
Make today awesome! I love it, this is so cool.
So who made this?
- I did.
- [Brian] You made this?
Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
This is going on the wall in my office.
Laurie, don't steal this, okay?
Laurie likes to steal my stuff.
So thank you. Give me a hug.
Thank you so much, seriously this is awesome.
This is what the first Reptarium movie night looks like.
People have snakes, they're hanging out.
Tons of bean bags and we just ate tons of pizza.
It is about to go on,
so let's go ahead and watch Jurassic World.
It's been kinda cool,
everyone is watching the movie, but then they get up,
stroll around and handle animals.
This is exactly what I envisioned this night to be.
It's been so much fun, to just hang out with people.
Talk about animals, with Jurassic World in the background.
But not being the focus,
really the zoo and the animals are the focus.
This has just been an amazing night.
And there it is, guys!
It's officially the end of the first movie night!
It was absolutely incredible, we had a great time.
I cannot wait to do more events like that.
Again, in the comments if you have any ideas
of movie nights you'd like to see or other event
you'd like to be apart of at the Reptarium.
If you ever wanna come, I'd love to have you.
With that said, we're gonna end the vlog.
It's been an absolutely very long day.
And I need to definitely get some rest.
I hope that you guys have an absolutely amazing day,
evening, whatever the case happens to be
that you be watching.
Thank you so much for your support.
You guys mean the world to me,
and I truly do love you guys so much.
Can you do a couple favors before we get out of here?
Can you smash that like button?
Turn those post notifications on,
so you know when I upload a video.
Again, make a comment,
tell me something awesome about yourself.
Be kind to someone today, and I promise
I will see you guys tomorrow.
