- All right, guys. I am freaking out right now.
Lori, are you freaking out?
Are you freaking out?
(chuckling)
'Cause I'm freaking out.
Look at this!
Oh, my goodness gracious, guys.
Are you, are you kidding me right now?
Are you kidding me?
Oh, my gosh.
I was actually in the middle of a tour with these guys.
How you guys doing?
- Hi.
- You asked earlier, "When is she gonna have babies?"
And what did I say? Any minute, right?
- Yes.
I literally said any minute, and here they are.
Baby anacondas!
I have no idea when she's done.
I don't know what's gonna happen, but, oh, my gosh!
Can we get tub real quick?
- She's so excited, Brian.
- Oh my gosh.
Ivy, my girl, is having babies.
And I was so concerned if they were gonna be live babies
or infertile, all of them, they look like they're all alive
and she's still having babies as we speak.
She's still pushing 'em out.
She's underneath the rock so I can't really see
what's going on, but, oh, my goodness gracious.
This is the- they are the cutest little things in the world!
- It's nuts.
- I called the day!
- Yeah, Mike won. - Mike won.
- Mike said the 1st of July. He was a hundred percent right.
Unbelievable.
Oh, my God, I'm having a heart attack.
(chuckling)
Oh, my gosh. This is absolutely insane.
Now the question is
is how many babies are actually in here?
Again, I don't know when she's actually gonna be done
but it looks like there's a pretty good slew of 'em.
The good news is, is we caught 'em right now
so that they're not crawling all over the place.
Getting in the filter.
We're gonna have to keep an eye.
We're actually open to the public here
in about five minutes.
So all night long we're gonna have to be keeping an eye
on her. Seeing how many she actually pops out.
What do you say we count how many she has already?
Here's one little baby right here.
You can see it still has this umbilicus in it.
And look at how big that baby is right there.
Are you kidding me right now?
Oh, my goodness gracious.
That's one.
This one's a little bit smaller.
No, it isn't. It's just kinda hiding out.
There's 2. Oh, my God. There are so many babies.
3. They are beautiful, too.
And they seem to be very docile right now.
Look at the goop that's going on?
This is, oh, 3.
She had 'em quick.
I mean, literally five minutes ago
she wasn't even having babies.
And now she's got a lump of babies.
4 babies there. And they all look really good.
5 babies.
Oh, my gosh, this is amazing.
Don't get away.
Oh, they're starting to get away. It's gonna be so hard.
6 babies.
Oh, my goodness. It's so goopy.
6 babies.
Come on, come on.
7 babies.
Oh, they're moving quick. They're moving quick.
Can someone hold the camera for me please?
7 babies. 8 babies. 9 babies. 10 babies.
Oh, my gosh. Don't go away. Don't go away.
10 babies. 11 babies.
I thought maybe 20 at the most,
but there's definitely gonna be more than that.
This is 12 here.
And remember when we saw that infertile ovum?
This is what I was looking at right here.
So maybe there was only one of 'em. That's all I see.
Here's 13 babies, and oh, they're gettin' slippery now.
13 babies.
Get back in there little buddy.
14 babies.
How many guys? How many, you think?
- 26
- 23
- 30
15.
I don't know, I think there's gonna be
at least high twenties, for sure.
16. 17 babies.
18. Whoop, whoop, 18th baby, stay in there little guy.
- Do you need another tub?
- 18 babies.
19. This is crazy.
This is the coolest day
I get- I'm freaking out. 19!
Oh, my goodness gracious.
20, 21. Oh!
- I was gonna say, they're real slippery.
- I might need another bin.
- Someone's grabbing one.
- Okay.
21 babies.
We're gonna have to separate 'em out 'cause this is a bin.
Look at this.
There's 21 babies in this bin.
We'll obviously separate these out more than this.
We need another bin because we're filled up here.
21 babies and they're still- Look at this.
There's still a slew of babies
and I don't even know if she's done yet.
You might still have a bunch more in her.
And look it, she's coming around here.
I'm gonna throw this over her
'cause sometimes she's gonna be protecting her babies.
I have to be careful.
Uh-oh, I'm in trouble.
Can someone get me something to push her away?
Look at her. Look at her. Check it out.
See how she's eatin' the infertile ovum of them right now?
Trust me, she would bite me in a heartbeat right now.
So I have to be very, very careful.
But look at her. Look at her. She's smelling.
She's smelling.
I have to be careful with her,
because listen, she's gonna light me up.
She's protecting the babies.
It's okay, girl.
It's okay.
Mama's love that.
Mama's definitely protect her babies.
Oh, my goodness.
Stay back, girl. Please, don't bite me.
Okay, this is 22.
Oh, and she's coming hard.
23.
24.
25.
26.
Uh-oh, here she comes.
27.
28.
Oh, my gosh. There's so slimy.
29.
Whoo. 30.
And if we have to open up, open up.
By the way, I've gotta still finish your tour.
(chuckling)
So we're up to 30 babies
and there's still more babies in here,
but unfortunately now I'm gonna have to go inside
and I don't even know if Ivy is done having babies yet.
30 babies. I'm grouped up. They look absolutely incredible.
Look at Ariana. Very inquisitive.
Like, "What's going on over here?"
But I definitely have to keep a close eye on Ivy
because you can see she's poking out.
She is protective of her babies.
She does not want me to take 'em but she has no choice.
I'm taking 'em.
There's a bunch under here, too.
So we've got 31, 32.
This is a big litter.
33. Whoo. So slimy. So slimy.
I gotta watch out for Ivy.
34.
35. We're up to 35 babies already.
- Can you see the one right under the log?
- Ow! It bit me!
(chuckling)
It's the first one that bit me.
I've got 36 babies already.
We're getting close to 40 now.
36.
37.
This is crazy.
38. We're gonna hit 40 guys.
39.
39. Oh, I don't know if there's more or not.
We've got 39.
Are we gonna hit 40?
39 so far.
Now, I'll be honest with you, it looks like she might have,
oh, Ivy's coming. Ivy's coming.
39.
So far 39.
I don't know if there's gonna be a 40 or not.
And I don't know if Ivy is completely done either
but humming over.
And like I said, mamas that just have babies
are really aggressive. So she's just protecting her young.
She's gonna calm down after a meal or two,
but I tell you what, this is crazy.
39 babies.
That might be it.
I'm gonna continue to look around and see
if I can't find any more.
- Try under the log.
- Oh, there's the 40th. We hit 40, guys.
Oh, this is such a mess. 40.
Oh, come on Ivy. Get away, baby.
- She's coming around.
- 40 babies, everybody.
Guys, I think that's it.
Unless she has more or there's something hiding
in here I can't see.
There are 40 baby green anacondas, man.
I am freaking out.
Let's get outta here. Give her a little break.
See if she's gonna have some more
and we'll look at the babies outside
'cause they are amazing.
- Three essential takers now.
- Yep.
- So we're now officially open.
So let's take a look at how many babies.
Look at all these little baby anacondas in here.
How ridiculous is that? Unbelievable.
Wow.
That is a lot of-
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble now. I'm in trouble now.
(chuckles)
- Oh, my god.
(crowd chuckles)
- One's trying to-
- Yeah. Look at all these beautiful babies.
Can you believe that? 40 babies in this.
And it was really cool that it actually happened
just before we opened and a bunch of people had
the opportunity to see babies be born live here
at the Reptarium.
Absolutely incredible.
Again, we'll keep an eye on Ivy for the next hour
or two, as well as the case to make sure I didn't miss any.
But as of right now, 40 is the number.
40 baby anacondas.
So Chuck went out there and said, July 1st.
That's when it actually happened. You were right.
And then whoever guessed 40 babies, you were right, too.
Comment down below if it was one of you guys.
- I was about ready to leave.
Beth texted me.
She's like, "Ivy's having her babies right now."
And I literally dropped everything and ran.
Grabbed my phone, called Jayden and tell him
to come get here. He couldn't miss this.
- I don't even know what to say. This is crazy.
- We were actually on a tour. You guys came from Kentucky.
We were standing almost right here.
And you asked me, "When is Ivy gonna have her babies?"
I was like, "It could be three weeks from now
or it could be any minute." Right?
You guys are like my lucky charms.
What did you think? What'd you think?
- I thought it was awesome experience to see Ivy
actually have her babies.
- I was like, there's no way this is actually happening.
- As soon as I heard screaming babies,
I was like, "oh, my god."
- And Patrick, you were holding a snake.
- He was.
- What happened to the snake?
I don't even know what happened.
- I handed it to one of your employees.
- He said, "Do you guys want this back?"
(chuckling)
Our son was like, "I hope we get to see her
have her babies." Here we are.
And she just has them.
- So Lori, what- What do you think?
We have 40 baby anacondas, Lori.
- They ask you how you are
and you just have to say that you're fine.
And you're not really fine, but you just can't-
What are we going to do with 40 baby anacondas?
- Anacorridor, baby. Anacorridor.
- [Jay] I can see it now.
- 40 babies, right on the, yep. Growing 'em up.
It's perfect for the expansion.
- I hate my life.
- [Jay] What's up, dude?
- Don't start with me.
The babies are here, I know.
- So what do you think about the anacondas?
- You and I were just right there.
It had to happen within like 15 seconds
because we walked away
and then Beth comes yelling around the corner.
I don't know.
Only thing I got is like,
when's the anacorridor or being built?
- Exactly. I like that.
And literally, I'm not kidding,
she had every one of those 40 babies
probably within one to one and a half minutes.
That's how quick it happened.
I thought it was gonna take hours
and it took, literally, less than two minutes.
- Bro. I mean, come on! Ivy had babies, dude!
- I'm like out of my mind.
I could- (groans)
It's almost like a dream.
It's like, I don't understand what just happened.
And like I said, I was so sure she was gonna-
I'm gonna be completely honest.
I was sure she was gonna have about 8 or 10 good babies
and the rest were gonna be infertile masses.
The first time mamas oftentimes don't have great litters.
So I was, my expectations were super, super low.
And I never in a million years thought 40
was gonna be the number.
As a matter of fact, I gotta go look at 'em.
Let's go play with 'em.
They were born about an hour ago.
- What? - Yeah. 40 of them.
- Oh my God. - Whoa.
- Baby anacondas.
- Yeah, what are you gonna do with them?
- Is this a YouTube thing?
- I'm taking one.
- Everyone that's here right now gets on baby anaconda!
(light cheering)
- You're gonna freak out.
- You know I'm gonna freak out. I'm so excited.
- Look at these babies.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Is that, is that crazy?
And then look at more. There's more.
- There's so many.
- Look all these.
- Oh. My. God.
- And only one of 'em was bitey.
Every other one was super, super docile.
- Let me get in here. I gotta feel that. Wow.
Oh, my goodness.
God dang!
- Isn't it crazy though, dude?
- Wow. 40, huh?
- We've been talking about this for- Yeah, 40.
(chuckling)
- I mean, I think it was the second trip I went with you
to get Ivy.
- Guys, I am over the top excited. Over the top happy.
This girl is going home with us.
- And now she's had 40 babies, dude!
- I know.
And what's crazy is, I mean, so many of you guys
out there commented about what date.
It turned out to be July 1st.
One day, by the way, off of Tiffany's birthday.
She said she wanted it to happen on July 2nd.
So sorry, Tiffany. One day early.
I think most people said between 20 and 25.
I thought, what did I- I don't even remember.
- I don't know either. I think I said 27th or something.
- Yeah. I thought like 20, 25 at the most.
And like I mentioned earlier, I didn't even know
if there'd be live.
40? Never in my wildest dreams. I mean, that's just crazy.
(explosion)
(dramatic music)
So, it's crazy to see that Ivy is slurping up some
of the other goop, which is interesting.
And even Ariana's coming over and partaking as well.
It's just really cool to see.
- Turned and looked to my left
and I saw what looked like a new plant.
I thought it was a new plant in Ivy's enclosure.
And I got closer, it was 20 little heads
all sticking up like this.
And as I got closer, they all went like that.
And so I just dropped everything and yelled,
"Brian, babies are here!" Everybody came running.
- I've been waiting for this forever, dude.
Because Ivy's one of my favorite animals.
And the fact that I'm not here when it happens.
It's already was done by the time I got here.
So now I'm just cleaning up the pieces, you know.
- It was already done by the time Brian came over, too.
- That's what's so crazy.
- But she was- her labor and delivery was amazing.
- Amazing natural birth. No drugs.
- All natural, no epidural, not even a midwife.
- Sunrise is a little heavier.
- [Jay] Till it falls off.
(chuckling)
- Little heavier than the false water cobra.
(groans)
- You're gonna give it to him like that.
You're gonna drop it all the way down.
There you go.
- [Jay] What are you doing?
- Running around like crazy like-
- [Jay] No, What we doing, dude?
- I'm feeding.
What are you doing?
- [Jay] What are you doing?
- Feeding Dixie. I just did Bowser and a tortoise.
- Okay. There's a lot going on.
Gator feeding, Betty White feeding. Vivian- (chuckles)
There's a lot goin' on.
- Drogo and Abrillo to do.
- Put it right in the first alligator's mouth.
(clicker clicks)
- [Jay] What are you gonna do?
- He's feedin' alligators.
I'm teachin,' leave me alone.
- [Jay] Can't make it easy for you, right?
- No, never.
- [Jay] It's like a gauntlet in there, dude.
- They're not easy to grab,
but I would recommend squeezing 'em in the middle.
- They really don't make it easy.
- I am protein.
- [Jay] What you doing?
Fish spa?
- (chuckles) Fish spa.
- [Jay] What you doing?
- Just hanging out. Get it?
- Once we go in there we just gotta whisper. Okay?
(cheerful music)
- [Jay] Did you call the date right?
Did you win the pool?
- I did. I said July 1st. - [Jay] Yo!
- Like I said it was gonna be a couple weeks
before I'm gone for a while.
But yeah, I called it.
- [Jay] So what do you think, dude? Are you excited?
- No. Look at that mess.
Who's cleanin' that up, 'cause (coughs)
I'm feelin' a little under the weather. You know?
- [Jay] Oh, you're cleaning it.
- I didn't hear nose goes.
- Nose goes.
- Well, let's rock, paper, scissors.
- No nose goes.
Oh, rock, paper-
Oh.
- I got a broken finger. (chuckles)
The fact is, is she just pooped them all out
and there's 40 babies. Crazy.
And right at 3:50, right before we open like-
- [Jay] I know, the whole world is here to see, dude.
- Yeah, the whole world.
- [Jay] Every single person in the world-
- I Know. I'm telling everyone like, if you post pictures,
if you post pictures-
- Everybody. All eight billion people in the world
are right here right now.
- We will hunt you down.
- [Jay] Like, if you post before the video comes out?
- Yeah.
- [Jay] Oh, if you guys have seen pictures anywhere
tag 'em in the comments.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
(laughing)
- Ow! Beth!
Mommy.
- Baby, baby boy.
- [Jay] A different note, I guessed the 29th.
So Mike got me by two days.
- Hi, Jay.
- [Jay] This is nice, husband and wife workin' together
side by side. Dynamic duo.
- What?
- You. He's not my wife.
- [Jay] I'm your mistress.
- Look at how rocky they are. I'm gonna-
- [Jay] They are rocky.
- Look at that.
- Checkin' people in.
- [Jay] What do you mean you're checking people in?
You wear a lot of hats around here, Mr. Mike.
- Mike of many hats.
- [Jay] Yeah, that's right. That's right.
Where we going?
- I gotta find people with the two alps.
Beautiful. Just like that.
- Stay right like that.
- Thank you. - Hold it.
I get to hold it right now.
Oh, I got nails. I know you'll like this.
Oh, it is.
Oh ima get you. All the tickles.
Oh, wait a minute. (chuckling)
Right there.
- These guys are just chomping up.
Chomp and swallow. Chomp and swallow.
- They watch the videos all the time.
- We do.
Hi!
Yeah!
- This is Franklin. Can you say, "Hi?"
He can pet his shell. They feel the shell.
They can feel everything through it.
Their spinal cord goes all the way up through it
so they can feel every time you pet them.
- I'm gonna do his actually I'm gonna put 10 per container
just for over the next couple days.
Just so they can absorb all this umbilicus.
We'll put water in with them and just kind of go from there.
They so slimy.
That'll absorb over the next little bit.
Look at how docile they are, too.
I mean, they're so docile, just like Ivy.
That's why we gotta keep most-
- That one lit you up.
- Yeah.
(laughing)
Jesus.
Oh, it got me. (groans)
This is my first anaconda bite.
- So docile.
- My first anaconda bite.
That's okay, babies. It's all right, babies, I know.
There's one little mean sucker in here.
- [Jay] I think it's probably the one that bit you.
- That's the one you're taking home, Jay.
- [Jay] Oh, no way, dude!
- I mean, who's cleaning that cage next door?
'Cause that's gonna need cleaned today.
- [Jay] Oh Mike. He lost rock, paper, scissors.
- Lori, put this in a jug. We're gonna sell this.
(laughing)
- [Jay] You know she'll do it, dude. I saw it in your eyes.
- And this is the very first time
I've ever had green anacondas.
It's been a dream of mine since I was probably
like 17 years old. I never had the opportunity before,
but now we finally produced them.
I don't think I'll ever breed Ivy again.
This is a one time deal. But I just had to do it once.
To be able to achieve that goal,
that's all that matters to me. This is amazing.
And I'm gonna make sure my count was right,
because I'll be honest with you, I've got 32 already.
33.
34.
35.
36, 37, 8.
Nope, 39 and 40.
Give 'em a few days to kind of dry everything up
and then we'll separate 'em out.
And then Lori can take care of 'em for the next, you know,
year or two till they get big enough to where we can move
into the anacorridor.
- He asked for the biggest snake
that could possibly come out.
- That's what I like to see. That's awesome.
- He is so brave.
- Ooh. I'm a wreck today, guys.
(chuckling)
I just gotta squeeze past you real fast.
I'm a wreck.
- Welcome to our world, Jay.
- Yeah, but you don't hold the camera.
You have two giant man hands.
Oh yeah. Line 'em up. Line 'em up.
- You can pet anywhere on her.
Not by the head. Not by the tail.
Anywhere on her body's okay.
- What do you guys wanna see today? You let me know. Okay?
- You want Ben and Jerry?
- Oh, double whammy, dude. - Yeah.
- Checkin' people in, baby.
- Okay. You ready?
We're gonna hold and take a picture together. All right?
- There you go.
- Let us know anything you guys wanna check out.
- Thank you. Appreciate it.
- It kind of made it even more special that she had babies
during open hours.
I still can't believe that she pumped out 40 babies.
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 while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day, reptile army.
Remember.
