- What?! Dude she is actually ready though,
this isn't a joke.
- [Brian] That face is coming right at you!
(screams)
- Whoa whoa whoa, don't move! - Eric! Eric! Eric! Eric!
- We could have a dual father clutch,
we could have, we don't know who the father is.
Oh you know what I think right off the rip, we got--
And that is free by the way that is,
but you know you just can't show up without a costume,
but if you have a costume, free six to eight on Halloween,
we'll even give you guys candy.
- Okay, what?
- [Brian] Just okay it with me.
- Yeah I'm gonna okay something with you, my fist.
- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
Hope the start of your day is amazing.
I'm starting my day with a banana
no I'm not eating a banana.
What is it is we've been working with Diddy,
the rhino iguana, I should say really,
Bruce has been working with Diddy the rhino iguana.
Never offered him a banana yet.
He's starting to come down for pets and everything
so I think I'm gonna try the little Bella technique
see if he likes bananas,
and see if we can give him some pets, what do you think?
Here Diddy wanna try a banana?
Wanna try a banana? Did, Did, you want a banana?
No? No banana?
Oh my God, he came down, but he doesn't seem
like he's interested in a banana.
I'm gonna see if I can just give him little pets.
It's okay baby. It's all right, good Diddy.
Look at that. What progress, huh?
I mean amazing, he's certainly not a Bella yet.
Come on Did, you're okay baby, it's all right.
He's not quite a Bella but,
while I have a banana I might as well
go pay some attention to Bella.
Of course we got Bella when she was about the size of Diddy.
Come on over here Bells, come on get yourself some banana.
She's being so silly this morning.
Did you just want pets instead?
Is it just pets that you're looking for baby?
And again when we got Bella she was about the size of Diddy,
and it's pretty cool to see how far she's come.
And Diddy definitely has a way to go,
but he's doing super good there's no doubt about it.
Bella is just our super special animal.
But I always love starting my day
spending some time with Bella,
and now Diddy is getting better and better.
He's gonna be an amazing one too.
Baby you're such a good girl I love you so muches.
All right guys I'm playing a little prank
on Noah and Eric right now.
I basically had told them that Ivy the green anaconda
is not friendly, but I want them to handle him.
So there all freaked out thinking that
she's gonna potentially bite.
You guys know that it's super, super tame,
but let's go ahead and see how they do.
This should be pretty funny.
Look who's in the house!
My boy Max is is in the house - What up, we back. We back.
- So listen guys, I told you that Ivy can be
a little tricky - That's true, that's true.
when you take her out you know,
so I'd be very careful cause a bite
from something like this--
Max you helping?
- Uh, they got this today.
- Oh, okay, I see how it is.
- No, I'm playing, I'm playing.
You need help, I got you, I'm here for you, I'm ready.
- [Brian] All right so just be super careful
because, I mean, she will wreck your day.
- Really?
- I just hope this snake doesn't
make us look like idiots in front of our friends, okay?
- No pressure guys. No pressure.
- [Brian] I hate to tell you,
you may have already had that happen.
- That head's like this big it ain't gonna do nothing.
- [Brian] Dude getting bit by something that--
anacondas bite totally different than a python bite.
- Then you're going in first bud.
- No, Why'd you tell him that?
- I can't even fit. - You guys are gonna be fine.
- [Max] I think Noah should climb in.
- [Noah] Here we go. - Yeah, Noah just--
- I'll climb in. - You can fit.
- [Brian] Noah, just go in, go in.
- But no snake hook?
- [Brian] No why do you need a snake hook?
- [Max] That's what you got an arm for.
- Oh no she's right up there she ain't gonna be a problem.
- [Brian] Eric can you fit in there?
- [Eric] Dude, probably not.
- [Brian] The thing that I will say about this is that
as soon as you open up the cage she immediately perks up.
- Yeah I know - That means she wants food!
- [Brian] Maybe, maybe.
- That's why I need a snake hook.
- [Brian] All right let's go.
- [Max] Oh she's coming around!
- Oh dude, oh dude, I need a snake hook bro.
Look it she's looking right at me!
- Yo yo, what's the strike range on this thing?
- [Brian] Uh, they strike crazy.
- What?! Dude she is actually ready though,
this isn't a joke.
- [Brian] Here's Excalibur.
- Oh dude. - Oh, come on!
- [Brian] Let's go.
- [Max] It'll be here in case you need it, don't worry.
- Dude, I am really not trying to get bit by this thing.
- [Brian] Don't just poke the beast.
- I'm trying to grab it.
- [Max] Dude it's really strong,
it's gonna be tough for you to pull out.
- [Brian] It's coming around.
- Here we go.
- [Brian] Oh, don't let it get away! Don't let it get away!
- I'm not. I'm not.
- [Brian] Oh its getting away! Wait a second,
it's coming towards me! This isn't good at all!
Noah what are you doing?
- Dude she's strong.
(laughs)
- [Brian] Oh, this is where it gets dangerous.
- No it's not.
Damn, who put all these--
- [Brian] Don't let her get up there,
don't let her get up there, you gotta get her.
Just pull her, pull her, pull her.
- Who put all these rocks in here?
Eric I need backup!
- [Max] Send him in.
- Give the boy some backup!
- [Brian] Oh that face is coming right at you!
- Eric! Eric! Eric!
Eric! Eric! Eric! - I got you buddy.
- Eric! Eric! Eric! - I got you.
(screams)
- Jesus Christ!
- [Max] I thought you were getting bit.
- Dude, what was that Eric?
What are you doing to me?
- I'm sorry I just started pulling it out.
- Jesus, dude.
- [Eric] I'm sorry man.
- That was crazy.
- She's gonna pull down the center aisle.
- Whew this is one strong snake dude.
Holy crap. Oh God, Jesus.
- [Brian] All right so listen, this is the deal,
- Okay, what's the deal?
- [Brian] She's super tame, she never strike at anything.
- What?
- [Brian] So I was just joking guys.
- Dude, she's super, oh--
I wasn't even worried about it anyways.
- No, I was scared, I was really scared.
- [Brian] Yeah you were scared from outside the cage.
- Yeah, oh yeah.
- [Brian] Max what did you think?
I mean, that was kinda--
- I think he held it together kinda.
- What? Dude, that's messed up man.
- Ivy's amazing, good job.
- You were screaming you said "Eric, Eric, Eric,
"help, help, help".
- I needed help dude.
(laughs)
- [Brian] Good job you did good you two.
- The next like 4 or 5 days, things are kinda crazy
here at the Reptarium at BHB,
because we have a bunch of people
that are traveling for the Tinley Park Reptile Show
that is happening in the Chicago area.
It's one of the biggest reptile shows in the country,
so a lot of people on their way are stopping in.
Have some company later on today,
and then tomorrow we are actually heading down to
Indianapolis with my buddy Forrest,
because he's doing a barbecue for all the people,
so it should be pretty fun.
So, for those of you guys that miss Forrest,
we're heading there tomorrow.
I've really become more and more excited about this
cow reticulated python.
This is the one that I got last year
that was pretty aggressive that was biting as a baby,
and it's become so absolutely docile,
and such a great animal.
And it's interesting, 'cause of course,
Perdita is white with the black freckles in it.
This one was yellow, so I can't wait to see
what this turns into as it gets older.
It's just starting to get a lot of freckles,
but it's cool that is has that kind of
yellow highlight in it.
Just something really different from an animal.
And again it's name is Mumu if you don't remember,
and it's really cool.
I'm sure the next couple months this girl is gonna
make it over to the Reptarium as well
because it's a beauty.
And for those of you that like egg cutting,
we've got a couple clutches of eggs to cut right now.
And with only 7 clutches left for the entire year
with ball pythons, this one is actually
a normal ball python,
but it's bred to 2 different males,
it was an enchi yellow belly,
and it was a super enchi pinstripe.
So we could have a dual father clutch,
we could have one, we don't know who the father is.
So hopefully once we start actually cutting the clutch
we can kinda put the mystery to bed
if you know what I mean.
Let's go ahead and cut this first egg.
We know if there's a pinstripe in here,
we know who the dad is of at least that eggs,
but again, they can be dual fathered.
Okay so right off the rip we have an enchi ball python.
Might be an echi yellow belly,
but you gotta remember an enchi yellow belly
and a super enchi pin could both produce enchi,
so we don't know if the father is yet.
Again, each egg has to be fathered by one father,
but multiple eggs can be fathered by different fathers,
if that makes any sense.
Let's move on to egg number 2.
See if we can kinda get an idea of what is happening here.
Oh yep, right off the rip we have an enchi pinstripe here,
so we know now that the super enchi pin was the father
of at least this clutch.
Again, it can kinda go back and forth.
But usually once one father fathers the clutch,
most of the eggs are fathered by that animal.
Sometimes one or two eggs can go whatever.
Again, another enchi pinstripe.
Really absolutely beautiful animals.
That enchi is kind of an enhancer gene.
Reduces pattern, kind of makes it brighter.
Really pretty snakes.
And so what I'm expecting here is just a bunch of enchis
and enchi pinstripes to be totally honest with you.
Again, another little enchi ball python here,
which again goes to the fact that it was
the super enchi pin that was the dad.
We've got 4 eggs left in this clutch.
I am gonna miss cutting eggs, I absolutely love it.
Another enchi ball python.
The thing that's interesting
is the enchi gene came from Europe.
I believe it was Sweden if I'm not mistaken,
and it was really an amazing gene way back in the day,
when the ball python game was just getting going,
to have this kind of new co-dominant gene.
I remember I think they were like $35,000.
I think that's the one I bought.
The first one I bought was like $35,000.
Now they're like 150 bucks or something like that,
so it's really cool that these animals that at one point
were so expensive are now affordable in the pet trade.
I love that about it because you can get
so many different amazing colored ball pythons
in a relatively in affordable way.
This is another enchi pinstripe here.
And just unbelievably beautiful animals,
I'll tell you what, I love these guys.
Two eggs left in this clutch, let's see what we got.
Looks like we're gonna have just another enchi ball python,
and again we don't know for sure that the other male
didn't father clutches because an enchi yellow belly,
you could get enchis as well,
but you would also get some normal.
So we haven't got any normals or yellow bellies,
so we know so far that there's a good chance
the super enchi pin was the father.
Last egg and we'll see what we got here.
Oh my gosh these guys are so pretty.
Again just another enchi ball python,
so all in all I'm pretty sure
the super enchi pinstripe fathered all these eggs.
We've got enchis and we've got enchi pinstripes,
which is what we would expect.
Absolutely gorgeous animals.
We have one more quick clutch to cut,
only two eggs in it.
This one happens to be a normal to a cinny cypress.
That cypress gene is a really cool gene
that kinda cleans things up, makes some striping in it.
I love the cinny cypress stuff,
I love the normal cypress stuff.
With two eggs, you might not get a whole lot of stuff,
I'm not sure what's gonna happen.
Let's just go ahead and open up the first egg
and see what we got.
Oh you know what, I think right off the rip,
we got a cinny cypress, and we did!
Hey right off the bat, not bad right?
So one egg left to go.
I tell you what like I said,
after this there is only 5 clutches of eggs left.
That's it for the entire year,
and then I am gonna be sad for quite a while.
What do we have here? It looks like a--
oh, I can't tell it's rolled over.
Looks like actually just a normal ball python.
So we hit the cinny cypress in the first gene.
Looks like just a normal ball python in the second gene.
But nevertheless awesome.
It's been a great year of cutting eggs.
By the way in a couple days I am gonna be cutting
what I think is probably the coolest clutch,
And that's that pastel lesser clown
bred to a pastel leopard clown.
I think there's like eight or nine eggs in that clutch.
And that's coming up in a couple days,
so that should be epic.
So Lorrie you always complain
when I get new animals, but what are these?
What's going on with this over here?
- These are the perfect animals because they literally,
they need no care.
(laughs)
- [Brian] I'm assuming this is - Am I wrong?
for Halloween I'm assuming, right?
- Yes, it's October, we have to start decorating
the Reptarium for Halloween.
- [Brian] So what's the events?
I know we have like spooky reading.
- Oh yeah, so we're doing a spooking reading with reptiles
so the kids can wear their costumes in,
while they read to the reptiles.
It'll be fun it's like a day or two before Halloween.
And then we're gonna be doing trick or treat
at the Reptarium, so anybody who's in the area,
or wants to travel, we will be open I think
from six to eight passing out candy.
- And that is free by the way, that is,
but you just can't show up without a costume.
But if you have a costume, free six to eight on Halloween.
We'll even give you guys candy.
Is the weekend before are we doing
any kind of costume thing? Or anything like that, or no?
- Uh, it's not in the books, I know we've got the crow movie
that I think is two weekends before Halloween, so.
- Yeah so maybe the weekend before
we'll do like a costume thing where we give out, like,
maybe some passes or something like that.
I'm not 100% sure but in the meantime
make sure that you okay when you are
buying stuff like this all right?
- Okay what?
- Just okay it with me so.
- Yeah, I'm gonna okay something with you, my fist.
(laughs)
- And speaking of re-takes a bunch of people have asked me
like, what happened to Lucy's babies
from a year and a half ago.
As you can see, absolutely gorgeous.
We actually ended up keeping just this one female citron.
I actually gave another one to a friend of mine
that's raising it up that he'll give back
in probably two or three years once it's really big.
And he's just kinda habituating it,
but these guys did not inherit her attitude.
I mean they are absolutely placid, really beautiful.
Again these are citron tigers.
That's what makes them even brighter
than a normal tiger like Lucy.
This thing is gorgeous and adorable.
Can you imagine this snake when it's the size of Lucy?
So I got my friends that have stopped in of course,
Ben what is going on my man?
- Hey what's going on man? Thanks for having us man.
This is great, this place is awesome, my first time.
- I know it's awesome,
you know it's crazy that you first came out.
Of course a lot of people have been kinda filtering in
because of Tinley Park, the big reptile show
in Chicago coming through.
So we just got Elvis out hanging out,
just doing a good time. Thank you guys for coming.
Anything you guys, just let me know,
and you can see anything you want, all right?
- [Ben] Excellent.
- [Brian] All right cool guys.
