- Hey, good morning, everybody,
and welcome to the blog.
I hope the start of your day is incredible.
As you know, I'm in my egg station here,
which means only one thing,
which is an egg cutting, that's right.
So we're going to start the day with an egg cutting.
And I was pretty excited about this particular clutch.
I've talked before that I really want to bolster my
orange dreams and my ball python colony.
This is actually the enchi orange dream.
It was bred to a super enchi pinstripe.
So in theory, if that male is the father,
which I think it is,
everything should be enchi,
should get quite a few super enchis,
on average half should be orange dream.
What we're shooting for is a super enchi
pinstripe orange dream.
That's the animal I'm hoping we produce,
but there should be some other
really cool stuff in here too,
so we have two, four, six, eight eggs.
Let's get a cutting.
All right, so first egg, and the orange dream sometimes,
doesn't jump out at you.
So we'll have to see how things go.
But nevertheless, we should produce
some really beautiful things in here,
and oh my gosh, guys, right off the rip.
We've got a super enchi pinstripe orange dream.
Woo, doggy.
Ooh, that thing is gorgeous, man.
Oh my God.
That was what I was dreaming for.
I was hoping for that,
I wanna keep a male of this.
So if this is a male or we don't get any other ones,
I am keeping that.
If it's a female, I might keep it too.
I'm not sure, that is absolutely a ripper.
And again, you can see much more orange.
You can definitely see the suit branch.
You could see the pinstripe influence.
That is an absolute ripper right there.
So gosh, hit it right off the bat.
We still have five eggs to go.
Let's keep going.
So I tell you what, that is the way
you always want to start a clutch.
Let's just hope that it's not all downhill after that.
That's for sure.
So what do we have here?
We have just another little enchi,
doesn't look like an orange dream to me.
So it looks like just an enchi again,
because it's a super enchi dad, theoretically,
all of the babies should be enchi right now.
Why I say theoretically is, cause you never know.
This year's been such a wild year,
you never know what's gonna happen.
Let's move on to egg number three.
And that orange dream stuff is just such a beautiful gene
and the enchi is beautiful,
orange dream and enchi together work so well together.
It looks like, eh, let's see what we have here.
It looks like an orange dream.
I think it's actually an enchi orange dream,
actually just a little more orange.
We'll wait till it hatches out.
You could really start to tell,
they probably will be orange dream,
much like a lot of that kind of enhancer genes
is that there's this there's kind of a scale, right?
You can get a 10,
that's a beautiful orange dream and you can get a one,
that's just a little expression of an orange dream.
So sometimes it's hard to tell.
That to me looks like it's definitely
an enchi orange dream, just not a 10,
maybe like a three, if that makes any sense,
we still have three eggs to go,
this one's all pipped out,
so it's already was ready to hatch,
so we're going to see what's in here
and hopefully it's something awesome.
Alright, here we go.
(humming)
What do we have?
Another, looks like, ooh,
this looks like maybe a super enchi though.
This looks like a super enchi
and it does look like an orange dream.
So it looks like a super enchi orange dream
just lacking the pinstripe.
So again, not a high expression orange dream,
but definitely looks like an orange dream
to me and definitely looks
like a super enchi cause that super enchi
reduces pattern even more right?
The enchi reduces pattern and then the super
is even more reduced, which is pretty cool.
Two more eggs.
Let's get one more super enchi pin orange dream, please
in these next two eggs.
It's kinda weird that we are literally on egg number five
and we only had one pinstripe so far,
which is a little bit interesting,
but let's see what we have here,
looks like another, not pinstripe, unfortunately,
but this is definitely a much better expression
of a super enchi orange dream.
This one is a lot nicer.
If that other one was a three,
this is probably like a six or seven, maybe even an eight.
I mean, this is a beautiful animal right here.
So again, super enchi orange dream, one last egg, again,
I'm happy we hit it on the first one,
I'm super excited,
we got the all gene animal,
but I'd like to just have one more,
'cause like I said,
I really wanna raise up a male.
The fact that we have one of these beauties,
you don't know if it's a male or a female,
so if we get a second one, at least a double
of my eyes, right?
So let's go ahead,
hit this last egg and let's start the clutch on a bang
and end the clutch out of bang.
Come on.
It's like I said,
it's crazy that we only got one pinstripe and it looks like
there's not another pin stripe in this one.
No, no.
And this one looks like just a normal super enchi,
not an orange dream, so it's a weird kind of clutch.
You know, we had six eggs, only one pinstripe,
but that pinstripe was exactly what we were hoping for.
And then we got a whole bunch of super enchi stuff,
a couple super enchi orange dreams,
which is really great,
a couple enchi orange dreams, which is great.
And then it looks like just the normal enchi.
So listen, it is a good clutch,
I am super excited about this,
these are gonna be some animals that will
add to my colony and we're gonna get
that orange dream stuff really going
over the next few years 'cause it's a banger
type of mutation for sure.
So what a way to start the date?
Let's push our problems aside and move on with the next.
Some of you guys know that we've had a Patreon
for quite some time and I appreciate
the people that have supported us through it,
to be honest with you, I don't feel we've done
a really good job of like, giving you value
for that Patreon,
well we are about to change that, you know,
Anthony now is with us, Jay's friend from New Jersey.
He's working with us full time now and he's going to spear
off some Patreon stuff.
That means exclusive content,
digital posters, a whole bunch of different things.
So I'll put a link in the description to my Patreon.
If you're interested in supporting us,
we'd always appreciate it.
Again, you know, anything we make, right,
just goes into the zoo and expansion and all kinds of stuff
like that helps the wheels turn, we do appreciate it.
Never begging for anything,
but if you want some kinda more behind the scenes,
there's gonna be something's called Brian's corner
that we'll do every single week.
That is like a two or three minute kind of just me talking
about whatever I wanna talk about.
Maybe I'll talk about how to do YouTube,
how to breed snakes,
how to run a reptile tube,
whatever the case is.
We'll even be doing polls on Patreon for you guys to decide
what next week's Brian's corner will be.
So that's just one of many things we're gonna do,
a lot of behind the scenes stuff.
So again, if you guys are interested in more content,
feel free to check out the link
in the description to my Patreon.
- Hey guys, what's up.
Unfortunately, we did have a stillborn recently
added in and now this was not obviously expected.
We do want this to happen.
However, we don't wanna go
this is animal's life go to waste.
I thought of the great idea.
Why not try to feed it to baby kush
as we sort of experiment,
it's really kind of interesting to see what animals are down
for it and what animals aren't.
And I, you know, like,
like for instance, like we tried the spitting cobra,
I've tried other cobras in the past and they never really
tried, they never really wanted it.
So it's really interesting to see what animals are willing
to eat some meat materials and not so much others.
It's really, really interesting.
Why would you be picky in the wild?
So odd.
So let's get started.
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, buddy, man, that was, man.
He gave me a run for my money today.
I was all sweating up a storm
while I was sitting in there,
but yeah, honestly that was,
that was about as good as it could get right there.
He seems to be really,
really coming along as far as like our own interaction
between him and myself.
I really think there's a lot,
a lot of promise to this guy.
I really think we're going to be able to actually do more
and even be able to interact with them,
like, on one-on-one, instead of just
with a piece of metal in between us
or a piece of glass in between us.
So I'm really excited about it,
I really, really think this was such a good,
good, good positive reinforcement for him and man,
like he's gonna come along so well,
give us a couple more years and I promise you,
this is gonna be my, this will be my boy right here.
- Just admiring a couple of snakes over here at BHB
that are gonna be going into brumation here in about a month
and a half or so, this is actually a note block.
A Tarahumara mountain king snake.
Absolutely wonderful.
As much like the Arizona mountain king snakes,
it's the same pyromelana,
but it's from a different area.
Of course, Mexico and Tarahumara.
So beautiful snakes, definitely can't wait to be producing
more of these in the coming years.
I swear this snake looks like it should be in a video game,
like the fire or something like that.
That is ridiculous.
Of course, this is just a scaleless Texas rat snake,
but it's actually polymorphic.
We bred for that orange and red and it has some white
flashing on it, it literally is ridiculous.
I mean, that is outrageous.
We've got so many new scaleless Texas rat snakes that are
gonna be up to size this next year.
It's gonna be a really good year.
We raised up like, I don't know,
like 10 or 15 animals from a couple of years ago
that were just screamers.
Just like this one here.
And again, this is something that breeds true.
So if you actually breed like these high orange or high red
or high yellow, whatever it is,
you will produce more like 'em, so buckle up guys.
Next year is gonna be a crazy year
for scaleless Texas rats.
So those of you guys who've been following me for some time,
I've been raising up these black milk snakes.
These are what they call
Lampropeltis triangulum gaigae
and they're born red, white, and black.
And then as they get older, they actually turn solid black.
Now this one you can barely still see a little bit of its
color and pattern,
but it's getting blacker and blacker,
here pretty soon you won't be able to see anything there.
Like the Mexican black kings, jet black and glossy.
The only differences is these guys can literally get seven,
almost eight foot long.
They are absolutely incredible.
So I'm super stoked, and finally,
these guys are starting to get their adult black color in
and that's so cool, so with any luck next year,
we'll produce some babies with these guys.
I just wanted to update you guys at how amazing
they're starting to look.
Of course, Laurie's favorite animal Matilda over here.
Just crunching down on some sweet potatoes.
He is just such a beastie,
I'll tell you what and definitely in the next
couple days, I know I've been saying it,
but I'm gonna work on this door right here.
Cut, cut, swing, that way Matilda can come out.
I know Laurie's like, "Yeah, right."
We've been talking about it for weeks, but I literally,
I'm hoping maybe two days from now I'll be able to work on
this two or three days or something like that,
work on this, cut this out, get this door.
That way Matilda can actually come out and walk around
without us having to pick her up and stuff like that.
But she's definitely loving this week.
She is so funny the way she eats and I tell you,
she loves Laurie.
She acts differently to Laurie than anyone else.
It's really quite comical that a tortoise can be attached to
a human like she is to Laurie.
(upbeat music)
Moving on.
Another package.
Let's see, we got, you guys sent us so much stuff.
You guys it's so nice of you guys to always do this.
It's a package inside of the package.
This one's heavy.
Feel the heaviness of it.
That means there's
something's good. - Maybe there's something
else in there too.
it's a gift from Spencer.
"Enjoy the gift.
"We know you love something.
"I'm not gonna ruin it."
- Let me open it.
- And then to Laurie,
"Thank you for what you do at the zoo at BHB,
"from Spencer and Marissa."
- This or these, I don't know what those are.
- They look like stickers.
- Yeah they look like stickers.
(cardboard shuffling)
- Oh, my goodness.
- There's a box inside of a box inside of a box.
- I don't know, I think these were for you, actually.
- This is probably -- - They're all sloth stickers.
So I know they're not for me.
- Ah, those are good. - That's a lot of
freakin' sloth stickers. - Those are sloth stickers.
Those are dope.
Look at those things.
(laughter)
- That's a lot. - They're gonna be
all over my computer.
You won't even be able to see the back of my computer.
I'm gonna get them all over.
So this is probably for you
and it's smelling good.
- Is it? - Oh my gosh.
- Smelling good good - Whatever it is
- or bad good? - No, I think
it smells really good, whatever it is,
I think you're gonna like it
'cause it reminds me of
your bath. - What does it smell like?
You know it reminds me
of your bath. - Ah obviously,
does it smell like lavender?
- No, it reminds me of your bath.
- You know how much I love that smell.
- Okay, calm down, calm down. - I don't know what
the heck it is.
- You're gonna break it. - I'm gonna break it.
- I know you are.
Let me see, it does, it smells a little more flowery.
- Doesn't smell at all like my bath.
- Why is that bad? - Which is not bad.
- But it's good.
And it's a little candle in a little top.
So there you go.
- Does it say --
- So there, you have it.
Thank you guys, I appreciate it.
We'll do more on boxing. - Green tea.
'Cause we still have about 20 more things unboxed,
but we won't bore you in this one.
Thank you guys, - Thank you so much.
You are always amazing.
Loved some of those babies we got out
of the egg cutting today and I tell it,
is it wild to see baby Kush, eat that snake again?
We just like to, you know,
we don't wanna waste something like that.
Give some nutrition to that animal.
He would eat snakes in the wild.
So it's really good for him on all levels.
And it was absolutely amazing.
