- Hey, good morning, everybody.
and welcome to the vlog.
And I hope the start to your day is absolutely incredible.
And you guys know that I mean it,
I know that I'm excited because early this morning,
I pulled this box down and guess what I found
that's right oh my gosh some little baby mangrove snakes.
We still have some more in the egg,
but we have two little babies out so far.
Look at these beautiful little big,
Oh, they're both feisty little monkeys.
All right guys,
now of course, these guys have a little bit of venom,
but at this size they can't even break the skin,
but oh my gosh these are crazy monkeys.
Oh my goodness what is wrong with you two?
You are crazy look at we have three more eggs to hatch.
It's okay, little muck.
Oh my gosh.
When you could see a little bit of that orange and red
in them, that will eventually turn all yellow.
And these are absolutely stunning.
I love these guys I'm so excited.
This is the second collection of mangroves we've hatched
this year and we have one more collection
that has a few eggs
that's gonna hatch another couple of months from now.
Believe it or not, but nevertheless,
still continuing to grow our group of mangrove snakes.
Absolutely wonderful, hopefully the next three eggs
will hatch out here in the next couple of days
and we will actually update you on these guys,
but that's a great way to start the day, right?
With a little baby, mildly venomous reptiles,
hatching out that have quite a bit of an attitude.
That's right, they hatch off and say,
hey, to really big world I'm a little tiny snake.
I better have a big attitude.
And I tell you what that is absolutely wonderful.
And again, I just wanna show you what these guys look like
at it about six, seven months old.
Oh, you were a little crazy monkey too.
They don't lose the attitude even when they start
to get bigger but thankfully they are absolutely wonderful.
Whoo doggy, I tell you what that thing is crazy,
but you can see how that yellow and black just gets
so absolutely crazy and look at that triangular head.
It's okay, buddy.
You're okay oh my goodness gracious.
I tell you what I think I'm going to put this one back
before it bites me.
Again, I don't think it's big enough
to really envenomate me at this point,
but let's not give it any chance right?
That thing is incredible and those little babies
that are hatching out gonna look just like this
in about six months.
If you guys saw yesterday's vlog,
you will know that I tried to fix Salt and Peppers enclosure
if you didn't see it, I'll put a card right up here,
you can check out that video
because obviously for the last two to three weeks,
these guys have been driving me crazy
with water on the ground.
So basically what we did is we drained it.
We did some flex seal on it.
It's been running now for about 18 hours
and I don't see any water.
I see the little bit of water out here,
but I think it might be residue from what was already there.
So I have a feeling that there's a good chance
that this is fixed.
I'm gonna not, I'm gonna hold my breath
just for next day or so to see if any other water comes out.
But the truth is is that even if a little water
does get out, we know that we fixed 90% of it,
which tells me that we at least know where the problem was.
We may just have to expand the area that we flex seal.
And then once we feel like a hundred percent that is fixed,
then we're going to have to drain the water.
And then where this black flex seal is,
we're gonna have to go back in
and actually make it look
like rock again, which is not that difficult.
But hopefully as for now,
it looks like it's actually going to be fixed
or at least close to being fixed.
And now we have to see what the future has.
I mean, the next couple of days
oh no I'm going to go crazy if it starts leaking again.
But I think we at least have the idea of where it's at.
So let's hope it's fixed.
I don't want to ever go through that again
[Upbeat Music]
Jessica, Sorry, Ashley.
How are you?
- Good, how are you?
What do you have there? - I got you a gift.
- What?
- It's a female gecko.
- Oh she's pretty too.
- She is kind of pretty my buddy Steve dropped it off.
So he said that you know - Awesome.
she's, she's a breeder and stuff like that.
Only a couple of years old.
So he dropped it off, so now - Well thank you.
- But now you have to design the new Caledonia room.
- Yeah, okay.
- So you gotta tell me what I need to do with it.
So I'll get with it alright.
- Yeah, we'll have to get together on that.
- Alright, there you go.
So don't say I didn't ever get you anything
- He's angry.
[Hissing].
- What's the matter?
Someone's cranky.
So it looks like the carpet guy's here
for their podcast room.
That's exciting I can't wait to see the color.
You know, you see it over the phone.
I haven't seen a sample in person,
so it's gonna be cool to see how that place
is gonna look from that dirty nasty floor.
It's going to start to really finish it off.
So let's see what he's bringing in.
So yeah, we've got a lot going on here
in the cameraman podcast room.
We gotta do the trim today,
as well as we've got carpet going in,
I'm going to hang up TV's today.
A lot, It's gonna be a huge transformation today
in both the control room and the podcast room.
And then we actually have a guy coming out in measuring
for Corian countertops
that are gonna go on top of these cabinets here.
They actually get installed tomorrow.
I mean, I'm telling you what guys
we're going to be wrapped up
and we're going to be podcasting in here
in the next four or five days.
It's going to be pretty amazing.
But again, gonna see a big difference
from the start of the day to the end of the day
in at least the podcast room.
And then tomorrow,
it's going to look ridiculous here in the camera room.
[Upbeat Music]
So earlier, I brought Jessica a gecko
and now you have some presents for me.
What do we have?
- I have a little gargoyle and it's kind of angry at me.
- Oh my gosh it looks like a little Blatch.
It looks like the little miniature version
of what the adult was almost right?
- Pretty much yeah.
And I bet this one ends up looking like that too,
because so far all the babies from this group,
it looks like that.
- Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. - Please go back in their.
- That baby's a feisty little monkey for sure.
- And then you have another one.
- I'm super excited about this one.
It just really looks like much right now.
It's just kind of black and kind of gray.
- Yeah, so what is the deal with that?
- So the parents of this one.
- Oh, those are pretty.
- So they're quite down right now when they fire up,
they're super red, like burgundy red though.
Not like not the bright red that we're used to.
- Well, they look amazing.
So that is cool.
I love this one holy molly. - Yeah the white stripes on it
- Yeah, beautiful so that's awesome.
- This one has pretty cool eyes too.
They're like darker than normal.
- Oh my God. That's so cool.
- Yeah, - Oh my God that's awesome.
So some more baby geckos in a new project to keep going.
So again, we're gonna be working
on that new Caledonia room as soon as
the podcast room is over.
So we're gonna have a dope set up down there.
Cannot wait and I know Jessica is going to be excited
that she doesn't have
to be having geckos all over the place, right?
- Oh my God yeah, it'd be nice to have them
off the rolling racks.
- Exactly that will be done about a month from now.
We'll have that wrapped up.
Alright my buddies are here.
They're gonna actually help us with the countertop.
You reached out to me and just facing her like,
Hey, can I help out? So where can I pitch you?
- Yap.
- You got Facebook page, I can pitch something where
- It's pretty much his uncle's own.
It's just the cabinet shop in sleet, Ohio.
- All right, Well cool.
Well, I'll tell you what, if you guys need some cabinets.
You're in the Ohio area.
I'll put a link in the description.
Go pay these guys some love.
So we're going to get a cool countertop here.
Thank you guys so much for coming seriously.
Appreciate it, man. - No problem no problem
- I was so excited that this
clutch of ball pythons hatched out
and they turned out amazing.
This was actually that pastel to the pinstripe red Stripe,
yellow Valley and actually this one right here
is just a pin Stripe, red Stripe, yellow belly.
This would be an actual pinstriped red Stripe without
the yellow belly.
So you start to see as you're layering,
how things start to look a little bit different?
You know, it brings out different colors, yellow bellies,
enhance some genes, kind of blow some stuff out.
And then of course, this is another pin Stripe,
red Stripe, yellow belly here.
That's just a little bit more reduced pattern.
So these two are basically the same thing
looking absolutely amazing.
Then we ended up producing the lemon blast red Stripe here.
So this is the pastel.
It's a pinstripe and it's a red Stripe right here.
These two right here were the all gene animals.
I was super excited to look at and they look amazing.
And of course these are pastel pinstripe,
red Stripe and yellow belly.
So basically lemon blasts, red Stripe, yellow bellies.
Right and they turned out so absolutely stunning.
And again, genetically, they're really amazing too,
because we can breed them into other things.
Sometimes the enhancement of that red Stripe thread,
like black pastel or the clown stuff like that,
it's going to be really amazing.
So I'm going to hang on to allow this stuff,
raise it up for future breeding stock, but wow.
I tell you what they turned out so cool.
I can't stop looking at this animal here.
It looks amazing, that is for sure.
kind of looks a little bit like some of that stuff
that we were seeing in the mystery ball fight downs right?
So it's kind of cool to see that at least some of the genes
are getting explained,
even though we got a long way to go to figure that one out
that's for sure.
[Upbeat Music]
Alright, so I guess the carpet is done.
I've been busy doing a bunch of other stuff,
so I haven't seen it.
So this is my first reaction.
You're going to get to see it right along with me.
Oh my goodness gracious.
Look at this room.
Oh my God, it looks so absolutely incredible.
Love it, the carpet is the perfect color
that kind of matches with the wall.
Kind of we've got some cameras mounted already.
We are getting camera would be over here over there.
I'm gonna actually,
I've got one TV already mounted right here.
I'm gonna get two TVs, one for here.
One for over there, here in a few minutes,
we can bring the table back in, set the table up.
And this place is going to start really looking like
the podcast room we are almost done in here.
We just have to do trim work ,door,
few little things in this room is completely done.
And then we just have to work on the control room,
which should be done here in the next couple of days.
So guys, thank you so much for letting me
take you on this journey.
I know it's not reptile related,
but Hey, I always want you to follow your dreams.
And this is a dream of mine
to have a very unique podcasting area.
I am super, super excited about the future of podcasting.
So there you, it guys, we did it.
We're almost done and this looks absolutely amazing.
So let's just keep on rocking.
[Upbeat Music]
And there it is guys.
The checking in podcast room, basically done.
I mean, there's a couple of little things to do,
but for the most part, this is what you get.
What'd you guys say? - Yes.
I think it's great.
Look at this we've got the beautiful river of life
flowing through our table, baby.
- I know we got a TV all round
- We got everything over here.
