- Let's see if I can get him to take an egg,
just off of some tongs really quick.
Have no idea how this is gonna go.
Where's he at?
(upbeat music)
All right, so this guy doesn't seem to be interested,
so I'm just going to go ahead and leave the egg in here
and we'll come back and check on him later.
(dramatic music)
So I'm going to go ahead and just leave an egg in here
and see if she's going to eat.
What an absolute bummer.
I wanted to see this animal eat
because they absolutely are so incredible.
With that being said, good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the vlog.
Hope the start of your day is amazing.
Oh my gosh, guys, it actually ate it.
It's right down its gullet.
Now, the interesting that's going to happen right now
is this is how egg eating snakes do.
They don't just eat the egg.
They actually have it in their gullet,
just like he has right now.
What's going to happen,
he's going to undulate those muscles
and undulate those muscles.
And eventually he's going to crack the egg itself.
He's going to actually take all the albumen and yolk
and eat it and then ultimately undulate his body
and spit up the egg shell.
So take a look at that guys.
That is absolutely crazy
to think that snakes can have an adaptation like that,
where this is the shell of the actual egg itself.
Wow. That's crazy.
Everyone always asks me
what a scaleless snake shed looks like.
Well, this is what it looks like right here.
Pretty incredible, huh?
I mean, you can see, it's just kind of like skin
but you still see the ventral scales,
but the rest are just kind of like skin.
This is a really cool shed.
So I think I'm going to keep this one.
- I'm about to start working on this cage
for the egg eating snakes. They're really interesting.
I've actually never really worked with them
or even seen them before.
Basically, I'm going to set this up
with a little nest so we can put eggs in there.
And hopefully they go up to the nest and eat the eggs.
(upbeat music)
- [Brian] I'm really excited about this display.
What I'm hoping is that these actual egg eaters
will climb up the tree, actually go into the nest
like they're actually raiding a birds nest
and we'll put quail eggs in there
and hopefully they'll actually eat them out of that.
It'll be a really cool display thing to see.
And it's something that we might be able to even do
during open hours at the Reptarium.
Hey, how do you guys feel about making $5 a piece?
- $5 a piece?
- $5 a piece.
- How about $10?
- Nope. Nope. $5 a piece.
All right. Well listen, let me tell you the challenge first.
You have to break this egg and eat it raw.
- Eat it raw with no hands?
- No, Nope. You can break it, break it.
Yep. You can break it, but it's got to go in your mouth.
$5?
- $5 - Yeah, give it to me.
- Okay. So I'm going to give you the egg first.
- I'll do it after I watch him.
- Wait, wait. Don't don't break it on the thing.
Just crack it. Yeah, there we go.
- Oh yeah.
- [Jay] Ohh!
- Here's your $5.
You're going to do it? - No.
- You're not going to do it?
- It's not worth the $5.
- Double it. Double or nothing?
Do another one? $10.
- [Jay] Oh no. Where's the yolk at?
(group shouting and laughing)
- Oh my. All right.
- [Jay] I don't really know if that's eating it.
- That's easy money. You missed out, Jay.
- Am I going to get salmonella?
- So a little white hypo-witblit bearded dragon
of course, got set up into this enclosure
looks absolutely incredible.
Great basking spot over here.
UV light over here.
Lots of climbing space looks really cool.
So again, still looking for a name down in the description.
You guys came up with some good ones yesterday.
So keep hitting me up and I'll make a decision
but absolutely love this guy.
Kids are gonna love it because it's so small and so cute.
Of course, I'm always down here moving males around,
ultrasounding and stuff like that.
But the truth is is that you always have to be looking
two or three years in the future. Right?
This happens to be one of my grow out girls.
It's actually a Spinner Super Stripe Red Stripe.
It's a Spider. It's a Pinstripe. It's a Red Stripe.
It's a Yellow Belly and it's a Specter.
So look at how amazing this thing is.
So we have a lot of really cool ball pythons
that will be up to breed next year.
Then take a look at this.
This is actually just a banana leopard enchi.
So sometimes very simplistic things,
just three genes in here, make it absolutely wonderful.
Of course, no one's really taken a liking
to all the monitors here.
So we came up with the idea of,
since we've feeding eggs all day and you-
- And I've been feeding eggs. - You've been eating-
- And fertilizing them.
- Yeah. What? (laughs)
We're going to try to feed Santana.
- And looking at him, he's taking down the egg immediately.
He hasn't even cracked it yet, but he's got it in his mouth.
- [Brian] Oh, if he cracks this thing all over the rock
then you're going to have to clean it.
- All right. It's all right. I already got a taste.
I got a taste for egg.
- [Brian] Oh, he cracked it right there.
Oh, he's got, oh. It's starting to-
Come on, buddy. You can do it.
- He probably thinks it's stronger than it actually is.
Come on, chomp it. You've got the jowls for it.
Now he's just bragging to Argumus
like, Look it. I got to treat you, you don't.
- That's what he's doing. He's showing Argumus.
Argumus is upset.
- [Noah] I know.
- Eat it, bud. - What are you doing, guy?
There we go. - [Brian] There we go.
- [Noah] Making a big old mess all over
my girl, Argie's cage.
- [Brian] Look at Argumus, just looking.
Like, Can I get some of those eggs?
Come on, buddy.
(upbeat music)
- So Mike has turned the tables on us here
and he's coming to us with a shed.
So we're supposed to be doing this to each other.
But what do you got, Mike?
- Okay. So I'll give a dollar.
- A dollar? - A dollar?
- [Mike] One dollar.
- Oh man. I gotta go. Man, that ain't worth my-
All right. Let's go.
- No, I get to hold it.
- Okay. You hold it first.
- It's at the Reptarium, correct?
- [Mike] Yes.
- [Jay] I already know what it is.
- You know what it is?
- Yeah. Only because I'm just on the kick.
I don't really know what it is.
I just know what I'm going to guess.
I guess that's the better thing to say.
- Okay. I don't. I really don't know.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
- [Mike] Okay. Three, two, one.
- False water cobra.
- I don't think so.
I don't think it is a false water cobra.
It's a rat snake.
- [Mike] No.
- It's not?
- Three, two, one.
- Woma - [Brian] Scott's garter snake
- [Mike] No.
- No, its not-
- [Mike] Khalifa the Mangrove.
(group shouting)
- I'm keeping my dollar.
- And of course, clown ball pythons are all the rage, right?
This is just a lesser leopard clown ball python.
But we have a lot of clown stuff
that's coming up in the next year or two.
Including this pastel lesser leopard clown ball python.
So essentially the same snake as I just showed you
but this has the pastel in it.
And it's got that really cool dark paradoxing,
where the pastel isn't going through.
It doesn't even look like lesser is there,
just this kind of black paradoxing spot.
Absolutely wonderful snake.
And this is that new project I'm working on
that I'm just calling new gene ball python.
We actually have a group of them
up a size breeding this year.
This is just a yearling right now.
Just a really wonky thing,
don't know what the genetics behind this is
but I'm super excited about the future.
So like I said, lots of cool stuff
that's going to be coming up in the next couple of years.
This year is going to be amazing
but the next couple years are going to be even better.
- Whoa. She's coming out hot and heavy today.
She was not messing around.
Come on, girl.
There we go. Thank you.
Fire in the hole.
Bingo.
Get it, girl. Get it.
Get it.
Smash it. Smash it.
Come on, girl. Yeah.
Lick it up.
She's like, What do I do?
That was supposed to happen in your mouth.
Not on the ground.
(laughs) Look at this.
She's trying to suck it up like she can't figure it out.
She's just pushing it around with her tongue.
Just making a big, old mess.
But hopefully she's slurping up some of it.
I suppose we go for the second one?
- [Brian] Why don't you hand her the shell?
- Okay.
There you go.
Good girl.
Keep on chomping it.
Get your calcium up.
Oh, she crushed it instantly.
Girl. You crushed it instantly.
You gotta be gentler than that.
- Jay, what you got going on now?
Okay. I bought this last night for Tato.
- Tato. Of course, Tato is Tazzy the Tegu's brother,
that's here, that's absolutely adorable animal.
Okay, let's put it on.
- Perfect.
- That's the thing about Jay.
You just never know what's going to happen.
You come in every day, he's got something crazy
in his mind every single day.
Before it was Dwayne the Rock Johnson's harness.
Now we've got Tato's.
Oh my God. It's a beautiful animal by the way.
- Thank you. I did a lot of work.
- Oh my gosh. That is so cute.
- [Jay] He doesn't even care.
- [Brian] He doesn't even care.
- I used to put them in harnesses all the time.
- [Brian] Oh yeah?
Oh my God. He's amazing.
It's like a little dino. That thing is too cute.
That's awesome. We got to take him to PetSmart.
- We should take him to PetSmart.
- [Brian] Yeah. - [Jay] Right now?
- [Brian] No, not right now. Maybe next week.
- Okay. - [Brian] When it's warm.
- Okay.
- [Brian] Lori loves cute stuff.
- Lori in here?
- [Brian] We got something for you.
- What?
- Isn't he so cute?
- [Lori] What is it?
- What do you mean, what is it?
It's Tato the Tegu in a dinosaur harness.
- What do you think?
- I think I don't have time for this.
- Yes, you do.
- Everyone has time for that. That's cuteness.
- It's so cute. Here, let him lick you.
Let him lick you. He's so good.
- We're good.
(Brian laughs)
- [Jay] Okay.
- [Brian] Okay. That went over well. Let's get Tato back.
- All right.
- Of course, Joker the Scaleless Texas Rat
is absolutely amazing but I want to tell you a little story
that I've been trying to perfect this way
of talking about this particular animal.
And it never really happens when I'm on tour.
So I'm going to tell you guys
and let me know in the comments what you guys think.
I always say, this is the hairless cat of the snake world.
And what I mean by that is that a hairless cat
has a recessive mutation that's lacking keratin.
In a hairless cat sense, the keratin makes up hair.
In this scaleless Texas ratsnake,
it is also a recessive mutation lacking keratin.
The keratin actually makes up the scales.
So what I'm trying to figure out is
why do people not make the connection
when I always tell that story?
Everyone looks at me with this blank stare
like they have no idea what I'm talking about.
Am I explaining it wrong?
Let me know what you think.
Yo, what do you think?
- Look at Bones right here.
- [Brian] We're going to call it Bones then?
- So beautiful. Oh yeah. That's a great name, Bones.
- [Brian] Okay, I like it. I don't mind.
Also, Jay and I were talking.
We were thinking we should get two more.
- [Brian] Two more?
- Thugs and Harmony.
- [Brian] Thugs, Harmony and Bones?
- [Noah] Bones, Thugs, and Harmony. Exactly.
- [Brian] Bones, Thugs, and Harmony?
- If not, Bones is just fine.
We can act like it's Mario Kart and then it's all good.
But look at how beautiful that thing is.
- [Brian] That thing is awesome. I knew you'd love it.
- He's a good guy.
- These Hundred Flower Ratsnakes
are absolutely gorgeous snakes.
Of course, these are a Chinese native animal.
Just absolutely stunning.
And I'm certainly excited about the egg eating snakes.
Bummer that the female didn't eat,
but hey, we got to see the male eat.
That's going to be good.
And I promise you in the future,
we're going to get some really cool footage
of that female eating in this new enclosure.
Again, we just moved her over
so I'm sure she's going to be settling in.
I hope that you enjoyed the video.
