- Pickles happens to be in her nest box
and I'm peeking in there
and I can see there's something in there.
I think she laid eggs!
Let's check it out!
And I've been waiting for this for a long time.
It's been about 20 years
since I've had a clutch of Green Tree Pythons.
Let's hope things look good in here.
I can tell, she's definitely nested up.
Look at her right there, she is not happy at all.
Look at her, oh my gosh!
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Whoa! Come on girl.
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
trying to get in,
just to see if I've got some eggs here
to see what's going on.
Oh! See if we can get her off her eggs.
Oh, see what's going on.
Oh no, this is not good at all!
Oh, this is such a bummer!
Pickles, what did you do, girl?
I'm gonna go ahead and get her back up in here.
Put her up here for now.
Don't bite me, girl.
And sure enough, look at this.
This is an absolute disaster.
I'll just go ahead and remove this nest box right here.
Oh! She's striking at me.
She is not happy.
She's like, "don't you take my eggs away from me,"
but the truth is the eggs are no good.
This is all what they call slugs or infertile eggs.
Darn! I was so excited about this.
This is such a heartbreaking moment for me, guys.
I had been thinking about having Green Tree pythons again,
hadn't had them about 20 years
and to get a clutch was gonna be so amazing
to get to this point
where you're actually getting eggs is the hard part.
So normally the eggs are fertile.
Oh my gosh! What a bummer!
She's still an absolutely beautiful animal
and I love her to death.
But look at her, she is fired up.
We're just gonna have to feed her back up
and try again next year.
But look, we've got one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine infertile eggs.
That would've been nine beautiful babies
if they were fertile.
Ah, what can you do, guys?
That's part of breeding snakes.
This is definitely a huge disappointment.
Well, we never wanna put the eggs to waste.
So Bruce is actually gonna feed 'em off to some Monitors.
- Woo-hoo!
- Thankfully, the Green Tree Python's
weren't the only eggs of day,
this actual house snake here laid a clutch too.
This beauty here is actually a hypo house snake
that is had for T-positive albino.
So we could get like some sun glow,
basically, stuff, you know, T-positive sun glow.
Let's see if she has good eggs.
I tell you what guys.
I need some good eggs because I am definitely foaming
after that Green Tree python clutch.
Okay, we definitely have some some slugs in here,
but mainly good eggs.
We have a couple little bad eggs here.
I'm just gonna get these eggs off here,
but the other eggs look really good here.
I'm gonna go ahead and put these aside here.
Looks like we have one more good egg here, which is good.
And then one little slug.
So we did have three little slugs here.
Two, four, six, eight good eggs.
I'll tell what guys, I needed that after today.
I had been so excited about Pickles,
and for her to lay slugs was really deflating to me.
So at least I got some good eggs here from the house snake.
These guys should hatch pretty quick in about 50 days.
Now that we're done with collecting eggs,
I actually have my friend Drew Binsky in the house.
How many countries are there in the world?
- 197.
- How many have you been to?
- I've been to 197, Brian.
- That's right.
So have you ever held a snake?
- I have a few times.
Most recently in Benin in west Africa.
- You guys know all about west Africa.
That's where Ball Pythons are from.
Well, I'm gonna put Drew to the test
and we're gonna see what he can tell us
about the countries that my animals are from.
- Let's do it.
- Okay, this is a Dumeril's Boa from Madagascar.
- Holy crap!
Madagascar is a beautiful country.
Antananarivo, the capital.
I went up with nosy B, which is a...
am I gonna get bit right now?
- No, you're not.
And Nosy B, we actually have Nosy B Panther chameleons.
- We're meeting for the first time,
and it's cool, 'cause I'm naming places
and he knows them from animals.
I know them just from traveling and meeting people.
Oh, he's squeezing pretty tight around my neck, man.
- This is a Pearl Dragon from Indonesia.
- Indonesia. Wow.
I've spent three months in that country.
The Jakarta, the crazy bustling capital.
You got Bali, you got Limbo Island.
My favorite island is Sumba island.
Have you ever heard of that one?
- I Haven't heard of Sumba,
but I've been to Bahan Baju, part of the Flores Islands,
and I've been to Bali, and I've been to Jakarta,
and all over the place. So it's a beautiful country, huh?
- Yeah. I love Indonesia and the Philippines,
which is nearby, which is where my wife's from.
Gotta love Southeast Asia man.
- Leopard Geckos from India.
- It's a whole continent, really.
But my favorite part of India is a Northwestern region
called Rajasthan. Have you been up there?
- I have not.
- India's fantastic. I highly recommend people to go there.
There's a lot of things to do and see, like this guy.
- This guy is from Argentina.
- So what is this thing?
- This is actually a Tegu.
He's actually the largest lizard in all of south America.
- Holy crap. And he's a friendly guy?
- Oh my gosh. He's super friendly.
He loves people.
- You have Cordoba. You have Buenos Aires.
Those are the only two places I've been,
but they have some of the tallest mountains
in south America and the friendliest people.
- What's that giant mountain range?
- So it's called Patagonia.
You can go skiing, snowboarding, hiking.
Really good for outdoor sports.
- Me and my buddy, we drove actually about five hours
to go get some pizza, and of course ice cream,
we got a flat tire got stranded there for three days.
- Neil the reticulated Python.
Now these guys do come from Indonesia,
but they also come from the Philippines.
- The Philippines.
Man, I've spent two years of my life in the Philippines.
My three favorite islands are Siquijor,
Rumblon and Bohol.
Make sure you go to those three islands.
Manila, you can probably do without it.
I've never seen these in the Philippines.
- Yeah. These would be rare in the actual wild.
But these snakes do come from the Philippines.
They're absolutely amazing.
This is Gene, the Walmont Python.
From one of my favorite countries, Australia.
- Of course you go the Australia for the wildlife,
the big cities of Sydney, Melbourne.
You go down to Tasmania, which is beautiful.
And I actually went skydiving for the first time,
in Melbourne.
- Oh my God. That's quite-
- Have you been skydiving?
- I do-
- You seem like an extreme sports kind of guy.
- Yeah. I'm more like an extreme animal kind of guy.
- What's your favorite part of Australia?
- Probably Darwin.
- Darwin. I've never been there.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Northern territory. Amazing.
Although I do love Atlas Springs and Uru as.
- Well. When I was traveling in UK with my sister,
she booked us a 4:00 AM flight back home.
Of course we missed the connection in London.
So we were in a London airport, drinking beers,
eating conveyor belt sushi for six hours.
Who's even up at 4:00 AM?
They had to pound the door, waking me up.
Conveyor belt sushi, not good for the tummy.
Farted on the whole plane back home.
It was like 12 hours.
Feel bad for the old lady next to me.
- So we have a Ball Python,
these guys come from west Africa.
Cogo, Ghana, and Benin.
- When I was in Benin,
there's a thing called the "Python Temple".
In the religion of voodooism, they worship pythons.
And when you walk into this, this room,
hundreds of pythons, just coiled up on the floor.
You have to take off your shoes.
You walk in barefoot and it's just the most spiritual,
interesting place. You gotta check it out in Benin.
- I'm on my way. I'm booking a ticket now.
- First up, Beetle Juice.
All right, bud.
- [Cameraman] He's like a cat.
- He's exactly like a cat, I'm telling you.
Here you go.
Ooh, yummy, yum, yum.
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got bugs in my tummy.
That's enough for Beetle Juice.
So let's move on to Toothless.
- Solomon Island, Prehencile Kayle Skins.
- In the Pacific, you have many different island chains.
Solomon island is one archipelago.
But the capital, Hoiara, is the only place I went.
It was actually lovely, very nice people, good food.
And it was kind of the gateway
for more travels around the Pacific.
- Gritz is a White Throated Monitor from South Africa.
- Oh, South Africa.
I mean you got Durban. It's one of the best Indian food
in all of Africa.
Johannesburg, Cape town and Kruger National Park,
where I did my first safari.
- Kruger's amazing. I remember following that safari,
it looked amazing.
- Oh man. Back in 2016.
You've been following me for a while, man.
- I've been following you for years.
- Respect.
- So we have a Mandarin Rat Snake,
and a Hundred Flower Rat Snake,
and these are both from China.
- I was just talking about going back to China,
in the central and Western part,
but I've only been in the big cities,
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou. It's cool, man.
I lived in Korea for two years and then, you know,
I love east Asia and the cuisine and...
I love feeling lost in translation.
I think it's a beautiful thing.
- When you're in China,
you definitely feel lost, except Shanghai.
- Man. This is a cool colored snake.
Look at this guy, yellow and black.
- Isn't it beautiful?
One of the most beautiful snakes, I think, in the world.
- I'm pretty stunned right now.
- Yeah. Tiger Lily, The Brazilian Rainbow Boa.
- Oh, Brazil.
I actually went to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
There's a place called Florianopolis,
which is my favorite part of the country,
down in the Southeast.
But I've never been to the Amazon in Brazil. Have you?
- No, I can't believe-
- I've gotta get to the Amazon, man.
And look at this guy. He's really cool.
- I think we should go to the Amazon together.
What do you think?
- I think, you know what?
That'd be a really cool trip.
- Oh my God. Let's do it.
- One time, I actually went to Las Vegas.
I ended up getting in a wreck and there was this big SUV,
and it pulled out and actually blocked out two lanes for us.
SUV pulls up and rolled down the window.
"Ya'll okay?"
And I go, "Oh my God, it's Cat Williams."
- So Drew doesn't like tarantulas.
So I'm gonna be holding this one.
- Arachnephobia.
- This is actually a Rose Hair tarantula from Chile.
- Also you have Patagonia region.
You have the desert in the Atacama Desert in the north,
and Santiago is beautiful.
And there's a town called Valpariso, which is my favorite.
Also in the south Punta Arenas,
which is on Cape Horns,
the Southern most part of south America,
I took a cruise through there. Amazing.
- And is that where you launch to go to Antarctica?
- Yes. You can launch from Punta Arenas.
- Side note here guys.
I will never take a boat to Antarctica,
but you've done it a couple times.
- Why? Because the Drake Passage?
- The Drake Passage.
- See, I won't hold the tarantula,
and he won't go across the Drake Passage,
the roughest seas in the world.
- By the way, I'm gonna put all the links in the description
to all his stuff. So go show am some love, man.
- Appreciate it, man.
- Superman.
Good job, buddy. You're so, you're so fast,
the ball fell off.
(laughter)
Here you go, bud.
All right, day four, nothing goes to waste around here.
And it's awesome to feel out of our animals are able
to actually benefit, even when it's something like this,
something that we really don't want to have.
And I would much rather have fertile eggs
instead of having to feed these infertile ones
off to these guys.
But that being said, never have to really worry about, like,
ever having to throw any of them away.
And that does feel a little good in that sense.
Here, you get the last one, bud.
All for you. Good job, buddy.
- Flad is a legless lizard.
This is actually not a snake.
It's actually a legless lizard.
These guys can come from all over Eastern Europe,
including into Russia.
- Oh Russia. Yeah.
So luckily I left a week before the invasion of Ukraine.
I was in Siberia.
So I was in the world's coldest city called Yacus.
It was minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
And I actually got detained on the border
of North Korea and Russia,
'cause I tried to get into North Korea
and they didn't accept me.
- Don't worry. Vlad's not gonna hurt you.
- Yeah. He's like snapping around.
- He gets detained in Russia,
but he's afraid of the legless lizard.
So this is Wanda.
This is a Leaf Tailed Gecko from Madagascar.
- Look how he just grips onto my hand.
- Isn't it wild?
- It's so delicate and soft.
Madagascar is just completely full of jungle and wildlife.
Couple of million people out there,
but it's just a huge island off the Southeastern coast
of Africa in a place that I want go back.
- Went too Mexico, went to Cosmo, Mexico.
Now many people have been there.
They know there's like touristy area
and a not touristy area.
Well, I decided to go to the not touristy area
and I got lost and it was really, really scary.
It was really frightening.
Well my dad ended up finding me and I got out of there.
It was no problem.
- This is actually a Milk Frog from Suriname.
- Paramaribo is the capital, a Dutch speaking country
in south America.
Actually I went on a four day Anaconda experience.
Didn't see any anacondas but I went down to the Amazon
and it was just a beautiful country.
- Now, Drew, do me a favor.
Kinda stick your head all the way in the cage
and take a whiff. Kind of smells like maple syrup, right?
- It does smell like maple syrup.
- This guy's name is Waffles. Let's take him out.
- I guess that makes sense.
- And of course these guys are from Tanzania.
- Looks like a dinosaur.
- Isn't he crazy?
- So Tanzania's great. You have Zanzibar,
a beautiful island. You have Darus Salaam,
and you have the Serengeti.
I always say that Africa's so underrated.
There's so many places to go and Tanzania is a great
beginner country if you've never been to Africa.
- This is a little tiny snake for you.
This is actually a Mexican Black King snake.
- Nu-uh, Mexico, very underrated country.
My favorite part of Mexico is Oaxaca and Chappa.
So two Southern most states, a lot of culture,
a lot of great food and really nice people.
- This is actually a mangrove snake called a Multi Sincta.
And it's actually from Thailand.
- Bangkok, you have the island, which I really recommend.
Kota and Costa Moi.
In the north, there's a town called Pi,
which is on the border of Myanmar.
It's just so rural up in the mountains up there.
I could talk about Thailand all day long.
I spent a year there. Bangkok's a great city.
It's a great place to go. If you're a budget traveler,
great food, great night life.
It's all in Bangkok, man.
- And speaking of budgets,
you used to do, and you still do from time to time,
these $10 a day videos, which I think are really cool.
So how is that?
When you go into a country and you're literally
only gonna spend $10 for an entire day?
- It's really fun. I mean, everyone knows what $10 is.
And so to see how many different things you can buy,
it's always a journey and it's a great way to show off
the culture and the food and the people.
Yeah, I've done 55 episodes of those.
- Oh my God, 55 days, $10 a day.
That's a challenge to you guys.
This is Matilda, the giant tortoise
from El Delver Island in the Seychelles Islands.
- Seychelles is like your ultimate
vacation honeymoon getaway spot. I mean, pristine beaches.
It's very expensive.
It's like the Maldives, you can pay all in resort.
And you know, it's one of those places
that's like a bucket list item for many people.
- Interesting. I didn't even know that.
This is actually an Argus monitor.
Now they can come from Australia,
but they also are known to be in New Guinea.
- They're hissing.
- Yes.
- Papa, New Guinea.
It's the most diverse country per capita
in terms of languages.
There's like 800 different dialects in Papa, New Guinea.
Port Morris Visa Capital City.
I recommend to get out of there road trip and you can see
some really, really interesting things like this guy.
- This of course is Cupcake, the Boa Constrictor
from Columbia.
- Columbia, man, Cartagena is a beautiful city
on the Northern coast. You have Bogota.
You have Metagene, you have Codere.
Holy crap. That thing just got close to my face.
Highly recommend Columbia, great country.
You see how I start fumbling on my words when I have a big,
heavy snake around my neck, oh man,
this is a thing of beauty.
- Okay. Burmese pythons.
Of course, this is my girl, Sunrise.
She's got some weight, huh?
- I like the name Sunrise.
I love how all the names of your reptiles
are just so indicative of who they are
and what they look like.
- We put a lot into it.
- I can see that.
- But we, these guys actually come from Vietnam.
- Vietnam, another country that I lived in.
Hanoi in the north.
We also have Saigon in the south.
Halong bay, which is one of the UNESCO world heritage sites.
It's also one of the most affordable countries in the world.
You can get a whole bowl of frog for a dollar on the street.
- A dollar on the street?
Now these guys also do come from
what used to be called Burma.
- Present day is called Myanmar.
The most spectacular place in Myanmar is called, Bagon.
There's 10,000 ancient Buddhist temples that are just like
doting the skyline, it's, they're from the 10th century.
And you can just climb them on top of them
and just walk around. And it's just such a cool place, man.
Look at those eyes.
- This is actually a New Caledonian Giant Yaco,
called Alichianes.
- The eyes are like purple and they're beautiful.
New Caldonia is actually not a country.
It's a territory. It's actually owned by France.
So it's not part of the UN's 197.
And I have not been there yet.
- I've been to France. So I've been to New Caledonia.
Apparently.
- It's not the same. It's not the same.
Like, you know, it's a different landscape.
It's a different culture. The UK and France and Spain,
they own a lot of other countries.
You gotta actually go there yourself
and feel it and see these things.
You can't find this in France.
- No, you can't find that in France.
And I definitely will go to New Caledonia sometime.
Closest I've been, is flying over when you go to Australia.
- Yeah.
- You fly over New Caledonia and I'm always like,
you always know, you're getting close to Australia
when you hit New Caledonia,
- Hey, Brian, we gotta take you on a trip, man.
We gotta do something together.
- Where's the one place you would take me?
- Honestly, you've taken me a little bit
outta my comfort zone today with those snakes and stuff.
So I want to take you outta your comfort zone.
- Oh, gosh.
- I'm thinking central or west Africa. Or north Africa.
Like Libya, Algeria.
- That's a different story.
(laughter)
- And cut.
- Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist that you can watch
all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day Reptile Army.
Remember be kind to someone.
- My buddy got locked in the movie theater in our house.
It was fantastic.
