- Hey guys. Good morning, everybody.
And welcome to the vlog Reptile Army.
Hope the start of your day is amazing.
(knife swooshing)
I've got Noah over here.
- Hey, be careful, man,
(knife swooshing)
- I've got Mike on this side
and we have a shipment of ball pythons.
We're going to play a little game today again,
and we're going to see if these guys
can guess the ball pythons.
- This is easy.
- Let's see, what should be the consequences,
if you guys, whoever wins
- Whoever wins gets a Jimmy John's sandwich
- and whoever loses, gets stabbed with this knife.
- Yeah!
- What?
(all laughing)
- All right, hang on a second here.
- This is going to be easy for me.
You know who my dad is?
- [Brian] Who? I don't know.
- I don't know either.
- Oh my gosh, there's a snake out.
(Noah gasps)
- I know that one.
- So let's just start right off the bat.
We'll have to figure out which bag this goes in,
but they're snake, what do you think this is?
- Well, I know it has at least pied in it.
- It looks like a pastel pied.
- Ooh.
- Pastel pied?
- Now listen. I don't know for sure it's a pastel pied,
but I would, if I were a betting man,
I would say it is a pastel pied.
So let's see if we can find.
(percussive thump)
(paper swooshing)
- Ow. That had a knife in it.
- No it did not have a knife in it.
- [Brian] Oh there's another one. Look at that.
- Oh wow.
- Hey!
- [Brian] That's why you never put too big a holes in boxes.
- That's a great point.
- Ah! Look at that, empty bag.
And this is... had pied times pied.
It doesn't even say pastel pied.
- And I think this is different than a pastel.
- [Brian] Nope, it is. These are called pastel pieds.
- [Noah] I don't know.
- They're both marked pied,
- This is the man.
- but I'm pretty sure they're pastel pieds,
- That's beautiful.
- but I'll have to check with my buddy
to find out what the breeding was.
- I think there's a firefly in that one.
- So does that count?
- Firefly? No.
(Brian laughing)
- We're gonna open up the next bag here,
and see there's some - no looking at the bag.
- I didn't see, I did not look at the bag.
- Don't cheat. Don't cheat.
I'm going to show these guys,
- the bag here. It's a pretty one.
Look at these monkeys right here.
- [Noah] That's easy.
- [Brian] Ooh. So what do we have?
- Albino?
- Those are something else.
- [Noah] How many genes?
- Oh is this the black pastel albinos? Something like that?
- Whatever you think.
Do you think these are black pastel albinos?
Or you think, what are these?
- They're not normal.
- I know they're albino.
- [Brian] albino.
- There's pied in here too.
- And then what about these ones?
- [Noah] pied albino.
- pied albino?
- pied albino.
- There's something else in it though.
- There's something else in it?
- This one is different.
- Yeah. They're so dark.
- [Noah] Can I hold it?
- You can hold it.
- It helps me when I hold it.
It gets, super powers activate.
- So it's a albino pied.
- Albino pied.
- Are you sure?
Are you sure there's something else in it?
- Black pastel pieds, or Cinny pieds
have basically just the head pattern.
- Oh.
- That would be pied and the rest would be white.
- God.
- So these are just albinos and albino pieds.
- [Noah] Dang it. Mike
- And I haven't even looked at the bag yet.
- To be totally honest with ya. Yup.
Albino times albino pied.
- [Noah] You got it wrong.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- You shouldn't listen to me. I don't know this stuff.
- Moving on. You guys did all right though.
They almost got it. Right?
So, so where are we at right now?
- I got the first one right. Right?
- Well, I don't know if you got the first one right?
- Well, if you said it was it, then it was it, right?
- Because it said it was a pied. I don't know.
- I got 'em all right.
- I think right now you guys are tied.
Don't you cheat! You guys turn around.
- [Brian] There you guys go.
- [Noah] Are you ready?
- Ba-bom!
- Oh, that's easy.
- You get this one.
- [Mike] What do you mean it's easy?
- [Brian] And you get this one.
- Well, this one clearly has sugar in it.
- Sugar?
- I would say it's salt.
- Salt?
- Ha ha.
- A salt ball python?
- There's champagne in it.
- [Brian] There's champagne in there.
- [Mike] How do you?
- Champagne. There's a pinstripe.
- I will say that it's not that bad of a guess
to say that it's champagne
because it does look like a champagne.
- [Noah] Pinstripe. Champagne.
- Here you guys go, you guys down in the comments,
let me know what you think.
This is a clutch mate of this.
So what is it you think this?
- Oh, I meant to say banana.
I meant to say banana.
- What? It's a Mojave lesser clown. But it's a pied.
- Okay. So this is a pastel genetic stripe.
- What?
- What would these be?
- [Noah] You're getting ripped off, man. I'm telling you.
- It's a banana firefly.
- Ha ha.
- Mojave lesser something.
- It's a super pastel genetic stripe.
So you guys both whiffed on this one.
There's one pastel G stripe,
and the rest were super pastel G stripes.
- What makes the difference
between a pinstripe and a G stripe?
- They look completely different.
- [Brian] No one would think a pinstripe
looks like a super stripe. Except you.
Okay. You guys ready?
All right. So I'm going to show you guys.
Hard to say.
What do we have here?
- Yeah I've seen these so many times.
- [Brian] What do we have here?
- [Mike] That's still genetic G stripe.
- This one is definitely...
- It looks like the same one you just showed us.
- So what'd you say?
- pastel genetic G stripe.
- The G stands for genetic.
- Oh, so I got it right, got it right. genetic G stripe.
- G stripe.
- [Noah] This one has such a peachy vibe to it.
- [Brian] Okay. So this is, what do you think it is?
- I think it's a Mojave G stripe.
- The pastel G stripe. You just saw one in the bag before.
- They're the same thing?
- They're the same thing.
- Why are you buying the same thing?
- I tried to. Well, the ones are super pastel.
Just the one, you know how there was the one.
- Ugh.
- [Brian] Right? So. Okay.
No, Jimmy John's for either one of you guys.
No, actually Mike got that last one.
Someone's getting stabbed today.
- [Mike] You were the one that went,
yeah, let's stab people.
- Heh heh. Someone's getting stabbed today.
Ow, it bit me in the bag. Okay here we go.
- [Noah] Oh wow.
- [Brian] There's two in this bag.
- Oh my goodness.
- [Brian] All right. So what do you guys think?
- I think this is a jungle clown pied.
- Jungle clown pied. Ha ha.
- [Mike] There's definitely pied in it.
- Okay.
- [Noah] There's the pied.
- [Mike] I'm going to guess pastel.
- Definitely pastel. G stripe.
- [Mike] Mojave pastel.
- You're just throwing out G stripe. Hee hee.
Because we just did-
- Can Mojave and pastel be together?
- It's got an O, an N, an I, and an M.
- [Brian] I know it's got a-
- [Noah] Onimi.
- The sea animinimi.
- This one's got letters on it.
- This one's great.
- This should be called the alphabet ball. What the heck?
- All right. So what do you guys think? Final answer.
- I'm going to guess pied.
- pied.
- What'd I say, pied?
- pied.
- pastel.
- Mojave.
- It's like when Noah's taking tests at school.
He's like, just look it over and answer it.
These are super pastel pieds.
- That's perfect, exactly.
- [Brian] Super pastel pieds.
- That's what I was thinking. I just didn't want Mike to-
- I got the pastel pied part right.
- You got it. You got it.
Now turn around, we got a couple more.
- So many bags.
- One thing. How come they're all the same,
but they all look different?
- Because, well, there's a little difference to them.
We had pastel pieds and now we have super pastel pieds.
We've got one last bag.
Right now Mike is up by one.
- Is this double or nothing though?
So if I get it right, I win.
If Mike gets it wrong, he loses.
- I like the idea.
- No, it wouldn't.
- Oh no, no, no that's tied.
- So if you tie, you both get stabbed.
- Okay. But it's, if I, if I get it right
and he gets it wrong, I win.
- No, because then you would tie.
- How about.
- You have to get it right.
- How about we do double or nothing?
- How about we just whoever wins it, wins it.
- Yeah, yeah... yeah.
- Okay. Turn around, turn around, turn around.
This is the one I was excited about.
- [Noah] It's just albino.
- This is the one I can't believe
I waited until the last one.
Here you guys go.
Boom. Hang on one second.
Ooh.
- [Noah] I just have a feeling.
- [Mike] Oh, I think I know what it is too.
- Oh my goodness gracious. Okay. Turn around. You get one.
- You got Titanoboas?
- And you get one.
- Wow. This is-
- [Mike] I know what this is.
- You know what it is?
- [Mike] Yeah.
- [Brian] What is it?
- [Mike] It's a Clown. But it's a, uh.
- [Noah] It's got a lot of O's on it.
I'd call this one the smoke ring.
- [Brian] A smoke ring. Not a bad name.
- It's got a cool pattern. But, black pastel clown.
- Not though. I think it's a, so you see that.
- So you're going with, black pastel clown?
- Yeah.
- His vote's in, I'm going Mojave.
- [Mike] Wait, wait, what is this, then? That's different.
(indistinct)
- But I only have one of these.
This one is, that is a ripper though.
Take a look at that one.
- [Mike] Whoo hoo. That's like, just a gray scale of that.
- Don't you look?
- I didn't look.
No, I really think this is a Mojave genetic stripe.
- Nah, I'm still sticking with black pastel clown.
- Guess what? Someone's right.
- Yes!
- And someone's wrong. This is a black pastel clown.
- What did I say?
- You said a Mojave genetic stripe.
- We'll look-it, can I explain my reasoning?
- Go ahead, but you're wrong.
- So the Mojave adds the, the rings to the side, right?
That's Mojave.
- That's is true.
- And the genetic stripe,
if they knew what they were talking about,
has a clear, dominant stripe down the back.
- But they don't know. And you're wrong.
So Mike gets, gets Jimmy John's and you get stabbed.
Where would you want to get stabbed?
In the leg, the butt...
- The liver.
- The liver? Ha ha.
All right. Let me know if you guys enjoyed this,
this unboxing.
Definitely some awesome snakes.
These will be on the website here
in another couple of weeks.
Once they feed a couple times.
Banger snakes, man, I to' it.
I was excited about it.
You guys did, actually did pretty good.
Let us know in the comments,
what you guys think about how they did.
- I think they marked the bags wrong.
- All right, wait a second here.
- Yeah.
- We're coming back on this.
So he, Mike cheated because before we opened up, Jay said,
- [Jay] Oh, this is the one with that black pastel clown.
- Yeah. He said, this is the one
with the black pastel clown.
So you knew that the last bag had to have
a black pastel clown. Cause it wasn't-
- [Jay] Noah was here too Brian.
- I didn't hear that. I don't pay attention.
- [Jay] So Mike did put two and two together.
- You guys are both getting stabbed.
- Wait, no no no, but I still won before we open that.
- Yeah but you cheated, so cheating, you get to-
- Yeah, that's minus two.
- Minus two. So you're done.
- I won.
- You're both getting stabbed.
All right. Say goodbye to these guys.
- [Brian] Wanted to just give you a little update on Neo
of course the pied reticulated python.
Of course the Golden Child Motley Pied Reticulated Python.
Absolutely amazing animal.
Look at how big she's starting to get.
I mean, she is just powering food.
We got her and she was eating like super small rats.
Now she's eating like big small rats to small-medium rats.
I mean, she is crushing food, like every five/six days.
Growing like a weed.
Again, cannot wait to get her over to the reptarium.
I think we'll probably put her over there relatively soon
to be totally honest with you.
Just to get her to the point where she's so socialized,
just like Perdita was, right?
'cause we handled Perdita constantly when she was this size.
So she became such a great animal.
We want Neo to be the same way, for sure.
So, absolutely wonderful.
I just have to update you,
'cause I tell it every time I look at this animal,
I am blown away and remember, you know,
Perdita's continuing to get more and more dark.
This animal stays this color its whole life
that stark white and that black.
Oh my goodness gracious.
This animal is a dream animal and I'm so happy we have her.
And at the same time we got Neo,
of course we've got the rock python.
This is the patternless rock python male.
Now the thing with these guys is that it's really important
to handle them a lot when they're young,
because they absolutely can get aggressive
or pretty aggro when they get bigger
and you do not want a fifteen or eighteen foot rock python.
If you've ever seen pictures of these guys teeth,
they make retics look like nothing.
I mean they have gigantic teeth
and you definitely want to keep 'em tame.
The weird thing is about these guys,
'cause we used to breed them,
is the fact that they would actually be tamer
when they were young. And then as they got older,
they would get a little aggro.
So it's really important to take the time,
to get them really habituated and socialized at this size.
But this patternless one is absolutely adorable.
But my love of rock pythons really started with the normal
rock pythons. The actual wild type coloration.
Again, they didn't have patternless back then.
That's something that's only happened
over the last maybe eight or ten years.
So when I was younger, I actually had a pair of these.
These are called python sebae, sebae.
There's actually another form, that's a little smaller,
that's called, sebae natalensis.
But these guys are the giants here.
And this one's peed on me a little bit.
Normally she's really good about handling, but again,
that's why you have to handle them every single day
and keep them socialized
because you can't let them start to get to a point
where they don't want to be handled
and they're peeing on you or biting you
or something like that.
So we have our work cut out for us,
but we're going to do a good job with these guys.
We'll get these over to the reptarium soon
so they can be handled a lot too.
So they continue to stay socialized.
'Cause again, one day these are going to be
seventeen, eighteen, nineteen foot snakes
and absolutely giant.
The largest snake on the continent of Africa.
- How 'bout, how 'bout, we get, we get this crazy girl out.
- [Mike And Jay] I hold her.
- No, no.
- [Mike And Jay] I hold her.
- [Mike] You clean the glass.
- rock, paper, scissors.
- [Jay] rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Go.
rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Okay, cool, I get to hold her.
- [Mike] No, you lost, you clean the glass.
- [Jay] I'm not cleaning the glass.
I'm not, I'm actually not strong enough to clean the glass
'cause it needs to like come out.
- No, you jump up in there.
- He got weaker. He went to Vegas.
- I did. I went to Vegas and got muscles.
Yeah, I won't do it.
but I will hold her if you want to take her out.
- No, I don't wanna.
- Then I don't want to do it. I'm sorry.
I'm just, not gonna do it.
- How about later we make Genesis clean the glass.
- Who's going to hold her?
- Both of us.
(hands slap)
- Let's go to lunch.
- Hey guys.
So I want to take a little bit of a update on the reptarium
because things are always moving along differently
with the expansion, right?
So first off our initial meeting with the city,
which was the planning commission
and then ultimately the city council, a few days later,
was supposed to be the sixth and the twelfth of October.
Well, unfortunately they had some issues with the planning
and it got pushed to November now
because of some variants and some special use permits
and all kinds of other jargon, regardless,
not happening in October.
So now it's pushed to November,
which pushes everything back, to be honest with you.
And now because of the special use,
both meetings are public meetings,
which is a little scary because that means that
all the people around can come in
and if they have an issue with what we're going to be doing,
they can view their grievances.
Now we have a great relationship with the city.
So I think we're going to be okay,
but it is nerve-racking because listen,
that's the one thing that can derail
the entire expansion, right?
Like if for some reason the city says no,
which I don't see that happening,
but you just never know what's going to happen.
These two meetings are crucial.
Nothing moves forward if these meetings don't go well.
So I was hoping we were going to have these done in October,
but unfortunately now we're pushed to,
I think the ninth and fifteenth of November,
if I'm not mistaken.
So it won't be until the middle of November
where we know for sure we can do the expansion.
Then I met with my general contractor
and we started talking about the plans with engineering,
structural engineering,
the different things we have to do,
when he would be ready to start helping.
And the truth is, is that,
my kind of idea of maybe by the end of the year
was pretty ambitious. And maybe even, you know,
the very beginning of next year was even very ambitious.
He said that he thinks that we're probably
eight to ten months away if everything goes perfectly
before we could probably break ground, right?
Eight to ten months before the break-ground point,
it could be as much as a year from now to break ground.
So he's thinking sometime,
maybe August or September of next year
is when we could actually start the build out.
So I'm a little bit bummed.
But to be honest with you, I'm a little relieved too,
because that gives me more time to raise funds, number one.
Make sure all my planning is in place.
'Cause we're not only planning the expansion
as far as the build out
and that's the city and all this other stuff.
But I've got to plan the aquariums.
I got to plan the reptarium build.
What animals we're going to get.
All kinds of different stuff.
So listen, I'm a little stressed out because I really need
like, Salt and Peppers larger enclosure,
and a few other animals need to move up.
But the truth is we'll make ends meet somehow.
And we'll probably not get started
with the reptarium expansion until sometime,
maybe the end of summer,
maybe even towards fall of next year, unfortunately.
So, uh, but that's okay because you know,
things are moving along. So just, you know,
send positive vibes for those city meetings
because that is the big one. Now listen,
if for some reason those don't go well
and we can't do the expansion
probably going to maybe look at moving to another building
and starting over.
And I know a lot of people
have kind of made that suggestion.
Like maybe you should do that in the mean-
It'll actually be more expensive to move
than it is to build here.
But I would probably at least take a look at that option
if for some reason the city doesn't allow us to do it here.
But like I said, I don't think that's going to be an issue,
but uh, just wanted to keep you guys updated
on what's going on.
Definitely a little bit stressed,
but then, but at the same point,
a little relieved, right?
Because now I have more time
to make sure this thing goes off the right way.
It's going to be amazing regardless of when it happens.
