(gentle music)
- So it's the day after all the babies are born.
Just gonna keep 'em in here just for a couple days.
While they kind of get all their umbilicus off.
And so, oh, this one's a little feisty.
I really wanna keep these guys super tame.
Yep. Another little striker there.
That's not good.
I don't wanna get bit by a bunch.
Oh, they're all striking at me.
We're gonna go see what the next box.
You can see all their umbilicus are starting to dry off.
So that's a really good thing.
Well, look at how gorgeous they are.
Here in the next couple days
after everything is dried up and clean.
We'll separate 'em out into individual enclosures.
Look at these baby Anacondas, unbelievable.
I mean, they are absolutely wonderful.
I couldn't be more excited.
Let's go ahead and check out mama.
So here's the deal.
After a female Anaconda or any livebearer has babies
they can be very aggressive or kind of defensive.
One of the reason I was a little worried
about actually breeding Ivy.
So I don't know what she's gonna do.
I'm just gonna try to get in here.
Oh, please don't bite me.
Please don't bite me.
Come on girl.
I love you so much.
I'm so proud of you.
You did, look it, I'm so glad.
Last night, when I was trying to take her babies out
she was trying to bite me.
This is really one of the first times I've interacted
with Ivy in the last month or so
'cause I've been letting her go
and look at it.
Looks like she's her normal sweet self.
Ivy, you're so amazing.
But look at how small she looks.
She's definitely gonna need a big meal here
in the next couple days, but I'm so happy that
my girl Ivy isn't mad at me anymore.
It's such an amazing experience, but hey,
you know what kind of does suck
is that there's still the aftermath
that we have to clean up right now
or it's gonna get really stained.
You can see Ivy, she's back to her normal self.
She was on that side of the enclosure.
As soon as I came over here and opened up
to clean up this mess, she came to this side
of her enclosure.
Of course I need her to get away
because I need to clean up this mess.
We'd have to go in and actually push her aside
so I can start cleaning because trust me, this stuff is bad.
And if we don't get this cleaned up
it's gonna smell really bad in the next couple days.
So we've got quite a mess to clean up.
Ivy, good girl.
She's all slimy now too.
Oh, this place is a mess.
It is so gross.
It's all over the place.
Ooh. Slipping and sliding now.
Come on Ivy.
You gotta stay away, girl.
Come on baby girl.
You need to go in the water or something.
Come on baby.
I've missed you so much.
I know you probably have missed me too.
Get you all cleaned up too.
All right, baby girl.
- [Narrator] Nope.
- Nope.
She says, Nope I wanna stay with you dad.
I am so proud of you girl.
I am so proud.
She's not cooperating with me at all.
(water trickling)
Hey big girl. You're so smart.
(vacuum whirring)
Today we have Paige in the house.
She's actually from New Zealand and
has never seen reptile in her life.
You ready?
- [Brian And Paige] Hi. (laughs)
- So welcome up to the Reptarium.
Paige is actually gonna get
her first hands on with reptiles.
Depending how Jay, Mike, and Noah do,
she's gonna get more than she bargained for.
- Oh great.
- So Paige, you have never held
a snake in your life, right?
- No.
Well, today you're gonna hold Neo.
This is a Pie articulated Python that could eventually
get 15 to 18 foot
and you're gonna have to hold that snake
for as long as it takes for these guys
to find me a snake that is from the Caribbean. Go!
- [Jay] It's the Boelen's
- No.
- [Jay] Papua New Guinea, that's the Caribbean.
- No, It's not.
- [Jay] What about Dominica?
- Oh yeah.
- It's the Dominican mountain boa.
- Dun nuh nuh nuh nuh.
(Dramatic music)
- Just like that. You're getting 'em.
- Didn't know it was gonna be.
- Go go go go go.
- That's right. It's the Dominican Mountain Boa.
So Paige, you did pretty good, but I hate to tell you
we usually just have to saw off people's arms at that point.
It's gonna get a lot harder, onto the next.
(gentle music)
And look at her.
You know, I gotta believe that she's smelling
where the babies were and her maternal instinct is like
where's my baby.
And she just wants to know what's going on over here.
This will be another good reason why we need to
clean this up.
She doesn't have that smell and that residue on here
so that she's over here seeing.
She's like, what, what are you doing, dad?
So again, gonna have to continue to
work with her getting away
so I can just clean this place up.
(vacuum whirring)
So I'm literally gonna have to take Ivy out,
let her crawl around on the ground.
Jake's gonna help me out because there's no way
I can clean this enclosure.
Her maternal instinct is so big that
she's just wanting to be over by where her babies are.
Just slimy so if you grab that side. It was just-
- So slimy.
- Yeah she's real slimy.
- [Worker] She's slimy?
- Yeah.
You just set her on the ground.
Take the back end, just set the front end and the ground.
Now I can get to work.
(gentle music)
(vacuum whirring)
(brush scrubbing)
- [Cameraman] What?
- Everyone's not a fan of the situation.
- [Cameraman] He's like mmm mmm, mmm mmm.
(worker laughing)
- I'm in. I'm cleaning up Ivy's cage.
Hello? Hello?
(gentle music) (vacuum whirring)
- A clutch of eggs here
from actually a Flame female.
Looks like she's on a bunch of beautiful eggs.
Bred to the Ripper of a male
which is a Banana Enchi Lesser Mongo Het Clown.
So let's see how many eggs Mama has.
Come on, Mama.
Looks like, oh, there's a Slugger up top
and a slugger down below, a couple sluggers actually.
And she had 2, 4, 6 beautiful eggs, had a couple slogs.
(dramatic music)
And like I mentioned,
things are about to get a little bit bigger.
For someone that's never handled a snake,
she's about to handle Red Loaf, the Dumeril's Boa.
I told you, it's only gonna get harder.
- [Jay] You know, she's never held a snake before. Right?
- I know.
- Yeah. So you give her the strongest snake
pound per pound.
- Paige is gonna suffer holding the Dumeril's Boa.
Although she's doing a great job.
You have to find me a specific lizard that I have
in mind that come from Indonesia.
- Chuckwalla.
- No, that's not.
- That's not- - Indonesia is
- Asian water monitor.
(fun music)
- Go, go.
- Oh, wow. That was amazing.
- [Mike] Move Noah.
- OW OW, OW OW, OW OW.
- This is what I was looking for.
- Yes.
- You got it right? Elvis.
There's a whole bunch of Indonesian lizards
but you guys nailed it.
I think she's choking.
I don't know if she can breathe.
Can you breathe?
- Yeah. It's a necklace.
- Now she can meet Elvis while I find the next animal.
- This is Elvis.
He's our Asian water monitor.
- Oh my God.
- He loves to give hugs.
He loves long walks on the beach.
(bumps head)
- [Noah] He likes scratching faces.
- Ew, musk.
- [Cameraman] Did you did somebody Musk?
It smells like Musk.
- Yeah. Just you see it?
- [Cameraman] No, no, no.
That's good, I smell it.
I smell it right here.
- Yeah,
- [Mike] Did you stink.
- Paige is probably gonna regret her visit to the Reptarium.
(Paige laughs)
- She's never held a snake.
And we're gonna give her an alligator.
- So as Paige is holding Salt, the albino alligator
you guys have to find the largest alligator besides
Salt and Pepper in the place and bring it here.
And then you have to answer a couple questions.
(Paige laughs)
- Right here.
Mike, you gotta do it.
I'm not grabbing RJ.
He said two gators, two gators.
Whoa. Look at that Lizard!.
- Mike, Mike, open this.
I need that alligator right there, Mike.
Well, this one's gonna bite me. (screams)
(Jay claps)
- Hold this.
(dramatic music)
- [Mike] Whoa.
- Crikey Mikey. (screams)
- All right.
Here's that alligator.
- Okay.
- He's kicking.
(Jay screams and laughs)
- [Noah] There's one behind your head.
- Oh my god.
- He's just moving.
You getting too close.
Got him? You got it? Give me that. You go.
- Got him. That was nothing.
- Run, my arms are getting tired.
- You said two!
- That's fine.
So now you guys have to tell me what two facts
that make an alligator different than a crocodile.
- That there's different.
- That their snout is grounded.
- Ground snout.
(boing)
Oh. Oh, I got it.
I got it.
Crocodile. See you in a while
and alligators, see you later. (screams)
- Okay. Good job guys.
(gentle music)
So we got all the smell kind of out of here.
That should actually break her maternal instinct
which is one of the things I'm the most surprised about.
Yet Ivy keeps surprising me every time I have her.
I tell her that's amazing.
I didn't expect that at all.
It's so good to have Ivy out again.
It's been so long.
She certainly looks a little deflated
but she still looks pretty huge.
What I'm gonna do is actually let her kind of
crawl up on her own just so that
she can go back in her cage if she wants to.
Here you go girl.
This way she can climb back in.
She can explore.
She's gonna know there's not the smell of all her babies.
And maybe it'll make her a little more comfortable.
I wanna try to feed her in the next couple days.
Start to get this weight back.
Again she doesn't look as bad as I thought.
She definitely looks smaller
'cause she was so huge with 40 babies.
Nevertheless, see how she's already smelling around.
She knows this is the enclosure.
I tell you such an incredible experience
from the breeding, to ovulation,
to seeing her go through multiple shed cycles.
Actually seeing her have the babies so quick
and the maternal instinct
not only right after the babies were born
but all the way 'til the next day.
Absolutely wonderful.
I'm talking about, I'm learning so much
about Anaconda behavior that I never knew about.
No one ever talks about this stuff.
It is absolutely fascinating.
Next up, snakes get even bigger.
You ready?
(Paige laughs)
- Okay. While Paige holds Jeffrey The Burmese Python,
you three have to get Lucky out
without getting bitten and bring it over to me.
Every time you get bit
you have to set it back up and start over from scratch.
(evil laugh)
- [Jay] Get it. Get it.
- Distract it.
Distract, distract.
- [Mike] Go Jay, go.
- Mike, come back.
(Mike and Jay whistling)
- You guys are too far.
(boys woo-ing)
- That's good.
That's good.
They like that.
Closer, closer, closer, closer.
Mike. Mike, come Mike.
- Come on, come on. Lucky.
- [Jay] He's got it. He's good.
We did it.
- Good job guys.
Now you have to put it back without getting bitten.
If you do get bitten, you have to start over.
- [Jay] What if you get bitten-
(Brian screams)
(boys laugh)
- Start over.
(indistinct)
- [Jay] Put her in the cage.
- We did it.
Yeah.
(calm music)
- I love this Cinnamon girl right here.
She's always a good layer and
looks like she's got beautiful clutch of eggs here.
Couple slugs, but mostly good.
Bred to this Ripper, Pastel Vanilla Bamboo Spider.
So I think there's gonna be a
really interesting combination.
A few sluggers in here.
A few more than I'd like to be honest with you.
I would never.
Still a lot of the clutch is good.
We have, let's see 2, 4, 6 beautiful eggs.
In 57-58 days, we're gonna find out what's inside.
This time you only have two people.
Mike and Noah get to find these animals.
Jay and Paige are gonna be preoccupied.
'Cause right now they have to go out and handle Gemma.
(dramatic music)
- Why?
- On your shoulder, on your shoulders.
There go now, stand up, Paige.
(Paige laughs)
- Oh my god.
- Paige, you gotta stand up.
(Paige laughs)
Paige, you have to stand up.
- Why did I get Jay? (laughs)
Oh my god. Ow.
Who gave me Jay?
- I gotta do it by myself.
- You're worse than I am.
- I'm not.
(Paige laughs)
- He might be right.
- Oh my God.
All you gotta do is just stand there.
I don't wanna make out with it.
- She's not gonna bite you.
(Paige laughs)
- While these guys are holding the giant snake,
I think Paige is doing a good job.

(dramatic music)
- [Noah] I'll get down.
It's the shoe technique.
Gotta break the feeding response.
Remember that video?

Quiet.
Noah, you good?
- Yeah. Mike, go get the C animal.
Watch the Glass there bud.

I'm so sorry.
- Okay Guys, you can put her back now.
- Okay slow. Oh my God.
Oh it hurts.
- False.
- Can I get some assistance?
- I'm your assistance.
- That was horrible.
(Paige and Jay high five)

for her first experience.
