- Hey, good morning, everybody
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is incredible.
Oh, by the way, good afternoon
and good evening for those of you guys at that timeline.
You know, the other week we were in South Dakota,
my friend Desiree, we were at the Reptile Gardens Zoo
and they had mentioned they had 200 and something species.
Desiree mention she had 100 species
or almost 100 species.
And I thought to myself, I don't know how many species
of animals I have. I get asked all the time.
Boy, how many do you work with? How many animals?
So, what do you say we go around and find out,
what is that magical number of species
that the Reptarium and BHB works with.
We're gonna start right here in the beginning.
And of course, we have a bull snake. El Torro.
He's pretty darn cool.
We have a northern blue tongue skink over here.
We have a Burmese. And of course,
I'm only gonna count each species, right?
So, obviously Marshmallow is a Burmese.
But we also have Geoffrey, Sunrise, Ned.
Not gonna count them again.
Only one of the Burmese pythons.
And then of course, we have the plumifrons,
the basilisks or what they call Jesus lizard.
Those are super cool.
We know this rascally little monkey up here.
Oh, here he is right there.
The black throat monitor that envenomated me before,
he's there. So, that's another species right there.
And then of course, we have these guys here
that I absolutely love.
These are my little frill dragons.
Of course, this is Big Mac from last year's production.
He is getting so big
and his daddy Nova, of course,
is one of my favorite lizards of all time.
These guys are absolutely stunning.
So, right off the rip here,
what does that make?
One, two, three, four, five, six species so far.
And we're gonna go through the zoo.
We're gonna go through downstairs with the colover's.
We're gonna go at BHB.
This is all our entire collection.
I don't know how many species, I have no idea.
I'd be surprised if we had more than 150,
may be between a 100, 150. I'm not sure.
Let me know in the comments, what you guys think.
How many species of animals do we keep here at
the Reptarium and at BHB?
It's gonna be fun to find out.
Now, I'll finally have a number, right?
Of course, we have baby Kush, the crocodile monitor.
And hey, listen, these are garra, the doctor fish, right?
And they may not be a reptile,
but they are a species, right?
So, that's another species right over here that we have.
And let's not forget my buddy Drogo, okay?
Again, not a reptile, but still.
Drogo, what's going on buddy?
He is definitely another species.
There's no doubt about that.
And yes, that was nine species.
The 10th one would be, of course, boa constrictors.
I have a bunch of different boa constrictors.
We're only gonna count them once, I told you that.
So, of course, Cupcake is gonna be the boa constrictor
that is number 10 species.
Moving onto the next one.
These, of course, are blood pythons, like Sweetie here.
And of course, Sweetie is beautiful.
We also have Champ the albino blood python,
that's under the bowl as well. Love these guys.
So, that is number 11.
So, we're getting there guys.
I mean, again, we have a lot of stuff to go through.
Of course, number 12 is gonna be reticulated pythons.
I have quite a few reticulated pythons,
but we're gonna start with Al Mattino here.
This is number 12.
Hey buddy, how you doing?
Gosh, you're so beautiful.
Of course, we have a bunch of alligators,
Salt being one of them.
She is such a beauty
and she is definitely getting big.
But again, we're only counting one species, right?
We're not gonna count multiple animals.
Like I said, I think we have 15 alligators overall,
but Salt is just one. 13 so far.
Again, (murmurs).
Of course, we have Tiana is number 14.
Tiana's the lewisi hybrid.
So, that's number 14.
Number 15 would be these guys down here,
which again are underneath the bowls.
These are the black headed pythons, Pop and Snap.
And then, we actually have iguanas.
We have Sriracha and Tabasco
and we also have Heinz and French's as well.
So, that's number 15.
We have Chip and Tail, the red footed tortoises here.
So, that is number 16.
Of course, we have Ivy, Aries and Veerday
and that would be number 18.
Love those guys.
We actually have the turtle tank tore down right now,
but we do have turtles. So, that is number 19.
Then we have Diddy, Dixie and of course, Bella.
That would be number 20.
Hey guys, what are you doing in here today?
I know, they're just chilling out up by the lights.
It's a little bit chilly outside.
So, they're like, "I need some basking lights"
if you know what I mean?
But, that is 20 species so far.
And now, we've finished Reptarium 2.0.
Now, onto the original Reptarium.
We're gonna start with (murmurs) as species 21.
22 would be Breadloaf right over here, the Dumeril's boa.
23 would be Gramps the Chinese king ratsnake.
And then, of course, we have a hognose snake up here.
This is actually Peppa the hognose snake.
So, she counts for another species.
She's so cute, she's absolutely adorable.
And hey, you know,
even though we have a lot of king snakes over at BHB,
we're gonna count Ben and Jerry as a species as well.
Again, this would just be counted,
not as a two headed snake,
it will be counted as a California king snake.
So, that's one more species there.
And then of course, let's go ahead and say
the first ball python would be Helen. That's right.
Now, we have lots and lots of ball python's,
not only honey over here, but all the ball pythons.
We're only counting this one species.
So, Helen counts as another species.
I'm gonna try and do this as quick as I can.
So, we'd be here all day.
But, we've got 27 as leopard geckos,
28 Mango the caiman lizard.
29, the woma python.
30 of course, we've got Tazzy over here.
31, we have the emerald tree boa.
32, the mossy tree frogs.
33, corn snake, like Maisie here.
And of course, we have lots of corn snakes,
but the 33rd species would be corn snake.
So, all the corn snakes that we find,
that's gonna go here.
33 species with him.
And then over here, we have our leachie Honest.
34. This of course is Reptar here
and we have a number of these guys anyways.
But this is the 34 species, which is the leachie Honest.
35 would be Pickles, the green tree python.
We have a couple of those guys, but only that one.

hanging on like Spiderman over here. That is 36.
We do have a cave gecko at 37 in here.
And then of course, our pixie frog right here, which is 38.
We actually have three species of dendrobatidae

(murmurs)
I tell you, that thing is crazy.
We're getting close to that 100. 91. Of course,

And we are so close to 100,
but I don't think we're gonna get there.
We've got 93 actually, as Guacamole, the Meller's chameleon,
the second largest chameleon in the world.
Biggest chameleon on the continent of Africa.
And then 94 is my girl Matilda. Hi Matilda. What's going on?
And then 95 would be the leopard tortoises.
By now, you guys know that have Ho-Ho Drogo merch.
We have the ugly sweater, as you guys know.
So, I thought I'd just show you the hoodie.
You know, it's getting a little bit cold
and maybe Christmas is gonna be gone,
but you still wanna wear a cool shirt. Ho-Ho Drogo,
that merch is only gonna be available
for about four more days.
Link in the description,
get you some before it's gone.
So, we didn't make the 100 guys,
95 species here at the Reptarium,
we gotta get five more species to get to 100,
but let's head downstairs into the clivered room
and start seeing what BHB has to bring.
96 would actually be the (murmurs) cola county king snake.
Of course the goini, our blotched king.

and that's the greenish rat snake.
107, where my passion started, garter snakes.
This happens to be an albino checkered garter.
Then another garter snake,
this is actually the plains garter snake
or a snow radix.
Now, we're over here at BHB upstairs
and we actually have some morning geckos
and they have a bunch of eggs in here.
So, there's gonna be a lot more morning geckos pretty soon.
And 110 would be this beautiful monkey here, of course,
our Nuevo Leon king snake
or what they call a variable King.
111 is another pyromelana,
but this one would be called a knoblochi
or a tarahumara mountain king snake.
112 would be what they call a black milk snake
or lampropeltis triangulum gaigeae.
These are the ones that start out red, black, and yellow,
and then turn jet black.
And you see, this guy's pretty much all the way black.
113 are some gorgeous monkeys. Of course,
these are rhino rats snakes. I love these guys.
What a beautiful snake.
114 would actually be a Taiwan beauty snake.
Now, I showed you the Chinese beauty snake,
which is a taeniura friesei.
115 is probably the most iridescent snake I own,
but a little rascal and these guys musk really bad.
This is actually a sunbeam snake,
unbelievably, unusually cool animal.
116 would be the central and South American
tri-colored hognose snake,
that are a little bit different than, of course,
the Western hognose snakes.
But guys, these guys are getting big and huge.
Oh, and by the way, this little monkey here, Salkata,
he would definitely be number 117.
Another all black snake here,
but these are actually black African house snakes.
Really cool. I love them.
They are like little miniature versions of
the Mexican black king snakes.
Absolutely wonderful snakes.
Of course, I just got this snake
to add to the 119th species.
This is the albino red banded rat snake,
which is ridiculously awesome.
And in that same shipment, I've got the 120th species,
which is the melanistic Dion's rat snake.
121 would be actually a gopher snake.
These guys are the Applegate San Diego gopher snakes.
Unbelievable, beautiful, when they get bigger.
These things are rippers.
122 of course, would be the musarana rat snakes.
This one happens to be a super pied.
123 would be Colombian rainbows.
This happens to be a leucistic Colombian rainbow.
And I love this dude.
124 is a very unusual animal called a
calabar burrowing python from West Africa.
125 are the eryx johnii
or the Indian smooth sail sand boa's.
Just cool, unusual weird boa's.
126 would be the Brazilian rainbow boa.
Of course, you know, much like the Colombians,
but just a little bit prettier
and they get a little bit larger.
Live bearing boa from South America.
127 would be a black tail cribo
that's just coming out of shed.
Of course, we've got Rico and this is Maya here.
So, we'll get her in a soak and get her shed out.
And then, 128 would actually be the yellow tail cribo,
very similar animals.
But this has got some beautiful color on the tail end.
Now, you might be asking yourself like, Brian,
you already showed us a carpet python.
So, you're cheating, right?
But the fact is, this is different species.
This is actually a variegata chini.
Whereas the other one was a Darwin's carpet python.
So, these are from the Atherton Tablelands in Australia.
In almost the same thing.
Yes, this is a boa, just like I showed you before.
But this is a constrictor, constrictor.
And this is actually a guyana red tail boa.
So, what they would call a true red tail boa.
I showed you the Northern blue tongue skinks,
which is the scincoides intermedia.
I showed you the multifacetada.
This happens to be the Eastern blue tongue skink,
which is the skin scincoide, scincoides.
And then, this is a really unusual blue tongue skink too,
from an island called Keys, which is the Key island
or the keyensis.
So, different from the other ones, for sure.
133 is another blue tongue skink,
but this is actually an Indonesian blue tongue skink.
So, a tiliqua gigas.
134 would be the viper bar
or a candoia aspera.
These guys are feisty.
135, the Stimson's python, antaresia stimsoni.
136 is a close relative,
the children's python
or antaresia childreni.
And then the last of the antaresia that we work with
are the spotted pythons, for species 137.
I absolutely love savu pythons for 138.
They're kind of like,
the miniature Macklot's python of Indonesia.
Kind of a smaller python.
This is as big as they get
and they're just absolutely wonderful.
139 would actually be my Bowlin's python.
140 would actually be what they call a javelin sand boa.
Cute little monkey, isn't it?
getting close to the end here guys.
141st species, would be the rough scale sand boa's.
142 would be Kenyan sand boa's,
a live bearing boa that can have up to 35 or 40 babies.
These things are awesome.
And guys, if I'm not mistaken, this may be the last species.
143, the hog island boa.
Yes. Another boa, but a sub species.
So cool.
So, again, I'm gonna look around really quick,
but I think that might be at 143 species
here at BHB and the Reptarium.
Crazy guys. It looks like it's 143 species.
So, there you have it.
I'm sure we'll be adding more
and hopefully we can continue to expand that stuff.
