- This is a Baron's Racer,
a really cool snake from South America.
And they come in three color phases.
This happens to be the green phase.
They also come in a brown phase,
but the one that I'm really excited about is the blue phase.
And guess what?
Later on in the vlog
we're gonna be unboxing a couple blue ones.
But before that,
I've got an interesting question for you guys.
In the Reptarium,
do you think that we have more eyes or more legs?
- Right off the bat, eyes.
- Legs, dude.
- Well, conventional wisdom would think
with all the snakes that we have that don't have legs,
that eyes would win.
But there's only one way to find out
and that's to go ahead and count.
Before we get started,
I want you guys to play along too.
Down in the comments let me know what you think,
do we have more eyes or more legs at the Reptarium?
- Eight legs, four eyes.
See Mike.
Can you even see what that scratch on your eyes?
- Huh?
El Toro, all snakes have two eyes, no legs, Noah.
- Two legs and no eyes.
- So we're counting spurs, now?
- Well, they're mini legs aren't they?
- I don't know about that. Let's ask Mr. Brian.
- They are residual legs,
so I'm gonna go ahead and say spurs are legs.
- Yay.
- The other day I was scrolling through "MorphMarket"
and I came across the blue Baron's Racers.
That's the snake I was really looking for.
So I jumped on a call
and made sure they were still available.
"Yeah. Hey, how are you?
This is Brian from the Reptarium.
Yeah, I was just wondering,
do you still have the blue racers?
You do?
Awesome. I want them.
Can I send you money for them?
All right, sweet.
I can't wait to get them."
- Cherry Pop, two eyes, four legs.
Mike, you're getting crushed.
- Tyson, two eyes, four legs.
It's so cute.
- You're proving my point for me, Mike. (laughs)
Baby Kush, four more legs, buddy. Hah!
- All the garfish, no legs, all the eyes, buddy.
Two eyes, two eyes, two eyes, four eyes.
- Four legs, too.
And if we're counting spurs,
that's like, you know, 10 or something.
- I thought I was bad at math.
I'm still not convinced that spurs are legs.
Let me know in the comments.
- Well, dude, they only walk on them at night,
that's why you don't know.
- Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
- And the box arrives.
So I'm excited to see these guys.
Again, as babies they're a little,
what they call an octagenic color change,
which means that they're actually more green as babies,
but then they turn bluer as they get older.
And I'm excited to see these things.
Oh yeah, you can already see,
these guys are beautiful.
They're gonna be a greenish color,
but they have this blueish tint to them.
And that blue is just gonna get
more and more blue as they get older.
They're gonna turn almost like a powder blue color
all over their entire body.
Take a look at these. Whoo-hoo.
I tell you what,
Baron's racers are absolutely beautiful animals.
Again, they come from South America.
These guys are rear-fanged venomous,
and you know we work with mangroves, hognose,
the false water cobras,
but believe it or not...
- Hah, two eyes, four legs, Mike.
- I think two of them should count as arms.
- Well, I'm gonna count them as legs
'cause you cheated with all those fish eyes.
- Okay.
Let's not forget Pickle, two more eyes.
- And two legs.
Four more legs, Mike. (laughing)
- Two more eyes, Noah.
Two more eyes.
- Two legs.
Mm. Look at all these legs, Mike.
- Still two eyes.
- Still four legs.
Now we're getting to the leggy section.
You're done for.
- Maybe.
Two more eyes for the armadillo.
- And four more legs.
I think that's five legs, Mike.
I think that's five legs. (screaming)
- Four eyes. - Four legs.
- Two eyes.
- Three legs. Wait!
- Three legs?
How about three eyes?
- Wait, what dude?
- They got the little third eye on top of their head
they can see shadows and stuff.
- Ask my dad.
- Mr. Brian?
- I don't know, that one might be a stretch there.
I'm gonna say two eyes.
- Team legs.
- This venom is a little bit more toxic
and it can be a little bit serious when you do get bit.
Thankfully, these guys are always very placid.
And they are rear-fanged,
so when you do get bit, they have to really chew on you
to actually get any venom into you.
But if they do, there's a lot of kind of hemorrhaging
and some other things going on.
So I don't want that to ever happen.
But at this size you don't have to worry.
And look at that little appendage on its nose.
It's called a proboscis.
Now females won't have as big of ones as males as they grow,
but it's really interesting.
What an absolute ripper.
And this is gonna get six, seven foot long and turn blue.
Wow, I am so excited about getting these.
- Two eyes.
- Two legs.
These next two, I'm beating your butt.
24 legs.
- 12 eyes.
- 25 turtles, 100 legs.
- 50 eyes.
Let's not forget the anacondas.
That's six eyes.
- Can't forget the spurs either.
Six legs.
Eight legs.
- Four eyes.
- 24 legs.
- 12 eyes.
Is that them or him too?
- Both.
- Okay, 12 eyes.
- We're halfway through the Reptarium,
and those fish really turned the tides.
Actually, 269 eyes to only 220 legs.
But we have this side to go and there's no fish.
- Can we open up another fish spot?
- Eight legs with no (indistinct).
- Four eyes.
Breadloaf, two eyes.
- Two legs.
Get down.
- I'm down.
I don't squat.
- Marshmallow, Night Fury, four legs.
- Four eyes.
Terrance the Taegu, two eyes.
- Four legs.
Pick up four.
- Beetlejuice, two.
- Four legs.
- I might lose on this side.
Snazz, two eyes.
- Two legs
- Chicky Strip, two eyes.
- Four legs, man. You're getting beat.
- Yep.
- Four cages, five lizards, 24 legs.
- Isn't that 20 legs?
- I don't know.
Dang it, they got me.
- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 eyes.
- 20 legs.
Five alligators, four legs each, 20 legs.
- 10 eyes.
- Hypnotized by all the legs.
- And then this is the second female here.
And again, you can really see the blue tones in this one
in the front of its body.
Meaning it's gonna turn really blue.
Wow. I tell you what, that's amazing.
So excited to add these.
They're gonna be so cool.
The problem is is I have a male green one
and two female blue ones.
So I'm gonna be on the prowl for a blue male, for sure.
Now you can breed them together
and you'll get blues and greens,
sometimes even get browns and so on.
Regardless, these things are gonna make a great addition.
And because they're arboreal,
they're gonna be climbing in the trees,
which is gonna be amazing.
Can you imagine a blue snake up in a tree?
Whoo doggy.
I cannot wait until these change in about a year.
Four more eyes, zero legs.
- Eight more legs, Mike.
- Four more eyes, too.
This here's Tiger Lily, Brazilian rainbow boa.
She's got two eyes.
- Does she have any legs? Let me see.
Oh Mike, two more legs. Two!
- Great.
Bugatti, bullish python, two eyes.
- Two legs.
- Noah, I got you on this one.
Legless lizard, two eyes.
- You're supposed to be on my team, lizard.
- Shh. He has two ears too.
- You're supposed to be on my team, lizard.
- Hognose snake, two eyes.
- Two legs, Mike.
- They don't have legs.
- What?
- No spurs on colubrids.
(Noah whining)
- That's right, no colubrids have residual legs,
which are called spurs.
- Oh Noah, colubrid, four eyes, no legs.
That's a Mike win all day, baby.
- 1-800-Mike-wins.
Well my girl, Honey got them long legs, Mike.
Two of them.
- She's still got two eyes.
- Cayman lizards, eight legs.
- Four eyes.
- Sleeping geckos, eight legs.
- Technically, they still have four eyes,
even though they're closed.
- They're sleeping, Mike.
Can they see when they're sleeping?
- It's not about seeing, it's if it's got eyes or not.
What have we got?
Five more alligators, that's 10 more eyes.
- 20 legs.
- Oh, she's in shed, but she still has two eyes.
- And two legs, I see them right there.
- Yeah.
- So these are gonna go into quarantine over at BHB
for the next couple months.
Then they come over to the Reptarium.
They're gonna be amazing.
(water splashing)
- Parents.
- [Cameraman] You guys have got to be missing something.
- No way. (giggling)
- Yes Ma'am.
- That's tragic.
- From here to here I counted 28 eyes.
- And I had 34 legs.
- It's getting to be a pretty close race.
- Yeah, and I'm gonna beat you, boy.
- Mandor the rat snake, Zugo, four eyes, no legs.
(animal growling)
Those other turtles may have kicked my butt,
but this one has four eyes.
- But it also has four legs.
- It's the only one with four eyes and four legs.
- Yeah.
- [Mike] You're not supposed to let her go back in.
- Yeah, but I didn't want to hurt her.
Good job, Mike.
It's always good to have a man around the house.
- This is our big girl, Gemma.
- And she's got two legs, two eyes, and a lot of body.
- That's a lot of bones.
- (indistinct) 80 eyes.
- 114 legs.
Then we got our tortoises.
Four of them, 16 legs.
- Eight eyes.
Can't forget Bowser, two more eyes.
- Four more legs
- Whoo. There's another snake that has a proboscis,
just like the Baron's racer.
But this is a feisty little monkey here.
And this is actually a rhino rat snake from Vietnam.
Woo-hoo, calm down little buddy.
And that little pointy nose there
is something that will really help them find food.
Over here. It's okay. Alright.
Woo, I tell you what,
that is one feisty little dude right here.
What happens is both the Baron's racers
and the rhino rat snakes are actually a arboreal animals,
so they're gonna be up in the trees.
And that little proboscis actually looks like a grub worm
and a bird will fly around, grab that grub worm.
And guess what?
The snake grabs the bird and gets a free meal.
This guy is definitely ready to eat,
there's no doubt about that.
Woo-hoo. Oh my gosh. What an amazing animal!
But how cool is that?
Our male Baron's rat and this guy is both named Pinocchio.
- Now for my secret weapon.
Come on, Mike.
Open it, Mike
- [Cameraman] He's got his own keys with his name on it.
- Can't grab him.
- Yeah, well, it's your job.
This one's got eight legs.
- Don't spiders have eight eyes too?
- Um. I really don't know.
- Hey Bruce, do they have eight eyes as well?
- So no, not at all.
It varies largely between species.
You can see there's like this little mound
with like kind of a mohawk right there.
There's like a set on each side.
So if you wanna call like each compound an eye,
we'll say two.
But looking into like a kaleidoscope.
- Oh, so I win.
- Uh-uh, I won cause we can actually count them.
Get a telescope. Get a telescope.
So, what's the verdict, Bruce?
- Dude, I'm just gonna say two eyes.
- Yeah, that's right.
Seven tarantulas, which means they have 56 legs.
- Because they have (indistinct),
that would be considered legs.
So they each have 70 legs.
- Ha!
- They only have 10 eyes.
No 14 eggs.
- Eggs or eyes, Mike?
- Eyes, eyes, 14 eyes.
- So it turns out that there are 591 legs
and only 380 eyes here at the Reptarium.
I'm a little bit shocked about that.
Let me know what you guys think about the entire world.
Are you team eyes?
Or are you team legs?
What are you guys?
- It's impossible to tell.
Think of all the fish and stuff.
- I love legs.
- (laughing) And that's it.
