- Ben and Jerry, the company is gonna sue you!
Well.
Wait, What the heck? Oh my gosh!
Oh, this poor little monkey right here
it's only got one eye.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Oh my gosh, she's crazy
whoa!
Come on, don't bite me, don't bite me
I knew I wasn't going to get through this
without losing some snakes.
Oh! She just took the knife away, careful!
(dramatic music)
- Hey, good morning everybody, welcome to the vlog
Do you guys remember the Ben and Jerry t-shirts?
Well of course they were based off of Ben and Jerry
the king snakes that have two heads.
You guys know that,
they're doing really well, by the way.
And a lot of people were telling me, like,
"Brian, I can't believe you're using Ben and Jerry
ice cream on your shirt, Ben and Jerry the company
is going to sue you!"
Well, as it turns out, they did reach out to me,
they reached out to me a couple of days ago,
and honestly they thought it was kind of funny,
they used words like "hisssterical"
and stuff like that (laughs)
Regardless, I don't know that they were super excited
that we're branding "myscream" or something like that,
but they knew that it was all in good fun.
And I wanted to fill you guys in, because
believe it or not, they are sending us a care package
that's supposed to be here later today.
So for those of you that thought that Ben and Jerry's
was gonna sue us, or something like that,
well, it turned out that they actually kind of thought
it was a cute thing and they are sending us some stuff
so we're pretty excited about that!
Tell you what, there's only a handful
of ball python clutches left to hatch
As a matter of fact, I counted the clutches today
27 clutches left in the incubator,
which still seems like a lot,
but it's really at the tail end
and this is one of the third last clutches that we had,
which is actually a pastel, lesser clownball python,
bred to a pastel leopard clown.
We can potentially get some killer leopard lesser clowns,
would be absolutely incredible.
This girl is great, she needs to get some food into her,
'cause she's still kind of a little bit thin,
but that's gonna work out,
but listen, I have loved this year with clutches,
so we'll still do some egg cutting clutches
and stuff like that,
but we have clutches still hatching almost every single day.
Nice big blue- (laughs)
Nice big beautiful clutch of ball pythons here
this was actually a pinstripe female,
bred to a male firebee, and this was what a firebee
looks like right here, it's actually a fire,
it's a pastel and it's a spider,
and i'll tell you what, it's beautiful,
but you know what's even better than this?
Two of them, that's right, we had two of these
beautiful monkeys right here and that fire
really cleans the bumble bee up.
Basically, what it is, it's a fire bumble bee right?
The pastel and the spider and that fire really cleans it up
you can kinda get an idea of what a normal bumble bee
looks like right here.
Looks really similar, but you start to see a lot
of that dirtiness in the sides, and stuff like that.
As a bumble bee gets older, it will dirty up a little bit.
The fire bee's stay nice and clean, so that's really cool
Then we actually just got a couple pinstripes,
this is actually a fire spider, again same thing,
just minus the pastel.
Really, absolutely beautiful.
We've got, of course, a dragon fly,
so this is the fire pinstripe pastel,
really beautiful snake.
Of course, we've got this one right here, which is
the fire spinner blast, which is the all gene animal.
It's pinstripe, it's spider, it's fire and it's pastel.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Then looks like we've got just a couple fire's here,
just like some normal, wait!
What the heck, oh my gosh!
Oh, this poor little monkey right here,
it's only got one eye! It's missing it's right eye!
Oh my gosh I'm gonna take a look and see,
looks like it's left eye is okay,
maybe a little bit small too, oh my gosh it's so cute
of course we've had this happen before,
it's not something that's common at all,
but it is just a deformity that happens,
you can see there's absolutely no eye in it
on the right side and on the left side it looks like
it has just a little bit of a smaller eye too.
Other than that, it looks great,
it's tongue response is really crazy, but that is insane!
This is the first one.
Remember a couple years ago we had a couple of no eye snakes
and a couple of one eye snakes?
This year we've had none of these types of mutations.
This is the very first one-eyed snake
that we've produced all year.
And of course, last year we had Shell Hellen,
the no eyed, albino ball python.
We really wanted to keep her, number one,
'cause she was so cute and is a really truly amazing animal.
But we also wanted to use her as an educational tool, right?
The fact that, you know with disabilities
you can still thrive and do amazing.
And it's weird because last year we had a handful
of snakes that hatched out either
with one eye or no eyes.
Whereas this year, this was the very first one.
Now, it can sometime be congenital, in the case of Hellen,
might be the case, right?
It's albino to albino, and sometimes
with that type of paring, you can produce
no-eyed, or one-eyed snakes.
When it comes to this fireball python,
it's just a random mutation that happens
that's probably not inherent at all,
nevertheless, we'll probably end up just keeping it
as a pet, I think even Erik and Mary said
that they might want to take it home and keep it,
which is completely fine.
But Hellen is definitely one of the crowd favorites here
when people come into the Reptarium.
You guys know that we have the little baby frilly's
and we have seven more eggs that are due to hatch here
in a couple of weeks.
Lilith is over in the corner and she didn't really look
that puffy to be honest with ya,
but she's starting to fill out a little bit.
I'm just curious, because normally, they will have
three to five clutches a year, she's only had two,
so I just figured I'd go in here
and see what she's got going on.
Hey Novo, what's up buddy boy?
What are you doing today?
Look at Nova, he's just so absolutely incredible.
You stay over here buddy.
Lilith isn't nearly as friendly as he is, as you can see,
but she's doing pretty good, I just want to give her
Whoa, come on Lilith
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
oh my gosh she's crazy
(lizard hisses)
Whoa, come on don't bite me, don't bite me!
Okay girl, I'm trying baby, it's okay sweetheart.
Look at her, she is crazy! Come on girl.
Wooh, that's okay.
All right, I think I'm gonna go ahead and leave her alone
I was able to just kinda feel her a little bit,
I don't really feel any eggs in there,
but look at how crazy she is, whoa
oh my gosh, i'll tell you what,
and I don't want her to bite me because
to be honest with you she's gonna hurt her jaw
more than it could hurt me,
so I'm gonna go ahead and just leave her alone,
get back outta this cage.
Nova, are you going to be a daddy again?
I love these little baby frillies's.
Not sure if she's gearing up for a third clutch or not.
I'd say now, probably not,
but she's getting a little bit fatter,
so, next week or so, we'll go ahead
and update you guys again.
All too often in the vlog, I'm always showing you guys
playing with animals and all the awesomeness
and don't get me wrong, that is an amazing part of my life,
I love it and the crew loves it as well.
But I always wanted to continue to let you guys know
that the majority of what we do here is maintenance.
We clean, we feed, we take care of the animals,
and then we have some time to play with them.
And without an amazing crew like I have,
I wouldn't be able to play with them as much as I do.
(slow bass music)
And we're getting down to the nitty gritty
when it comes to corny clutches,
not too many more left to hatch,
and this is a really unusual result from this breeding.
This is actually a snow corn bred to a snow sun kissed,
or at least that's what they said that they bred.
So something was wacky, 'cause what we have here
is a bunch of just normal albino corn snakes.
A melanistic corn snakes, uh oh
all right I'm gonna try and stay calm
I'm gonna try to stay calm
calm, calm, calm, calm, calm
okay, calm, calm calm.
Okay, good.
I would have expected a bunch of snow corn's,
possibly even some snow sun kissed corn's in there,
but regardless, that's what we got.
Oh it looks like we've got
another little scaleless corn snake clutch.
Looks like we've got one or two more eggs to hatch,
but oh, gosh, I knew I wasn't going to get through this
without losing some snakes, come on stay in there buddy.
But here we have a beautiful (laughs) oh my gosh, oh no
(laughs)
oh my gosh
here you go, stay in there buddy,
stay in there, stay in there, stay in there
Let's see if I can get this shut.
So here we have a beautiful scaleless corn snake here,
probably one of the last scaleless corn snakes
that we're gonna hatch for the year, to be honest with you.
I think this is the last scaleless clutch,
but I might be wrong, there might be one or two left.
I'm not 100% sure.
Regardless, we have an amazing scaleless corn snake here,
and it's gonna be bummer when we're done
hatching cluefers for sure.
And hey, listen, brewmation is literally
only about a month or five weeks away,
so it is getting to that time of the year,
can't believe how quickly this summer went, that's for sure,
but nevertheless, some beautiful
little baby cluefers hatched out today.
(deep base beat music)
I've got Nightfury in a soak here, and he's got a little
bit of shed still left on him,
and a lot of people think that it can be a bad thing
to help an animal shed, well the thing is
you don't want to help them shed when
they aren't supposed to shed,
and if they're already supposed to have shed,
you can soak them and you can help rub that shed off
it's not bad, I don't know why people think that.
Absolutely, if you take the shed off too early,
it can be an issue.
But as long as it's ready to come off
and it's already 80% shed off, to put it in a soak
and help that last 20% off, that's not a problem at all.
So let's go ahead and see if we can get
Nightfury looking beautiful.
(deep base music)
All right, so we have a tour in the house,
and you're from Hawaii, Texas, all over the world
- A little bit of everywhere
- [Brian] Little bit of everywhere,
and I've got some Michiganders in the house
and who else? Anyone else?
- [Black Hair Lady] Texas
- [Brian] Texas over here all right cool.
All right we're gonna have a good time, lets go.
(deep base music)
And we're here with that Ben and Jerry's package
I know you guys are excited.
- [Red Shirt Guy] Oh I've been waiting,
I didn't even have lunch today
- [Brian] Look, she just took the knife away,
be careful! Do you know how to use that?
Whoa!
- [Lori] This is for me, not for you (laughs)
- [Brian] Okay you can have your ice cream
- [Red Shirt Guy] God almighty dude
- [Brian] All righty, so obviously Ben and Jerry
sent us some stuff, lets see what we got here.
- [Red Shirt Guy] What's that say?
- [Brian] About dry ice
- [Lori] Yeah, it says don't touch it
- [Brian] Don't touch the dry ice
All right Ben and Jerry, let's see what we've got here
- [Red Shirt Guy] Oh, baby!
- [Brian] Fish food!
- [Lori] New York Superfudge Chunk
- [Brian] Oh my goodness - Let me get that
- [Lori] I've wanted to try these
- [Red Shirt Guy] Chocolate fudge brownies!
- [Brian] Oh my gosh
- [Red Shirt Guy] Chocolate fudge brownie pint
- [Brian] I would like to try this
- [Lori] Look at all the pint cozy's, this is perfect!
Because every body knows this is single serving,
this is awesome!
Spoons! - They gave us spoons?
- [Lori] Oh my god, these are great, these are amazing
ice cream spoons, look at that!
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, they are literally,
what are they, ceramic? - Yes!
- [Brian] Oh my god this is awesome
- [Lori] This is so exciting, this is the best
- [Red Shirt Guy] Oh those shirts are awesome!
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, look at those
- [Red Shirt Guy] Those are sweet! I like those
- All right, so there you go
- I'll tell you what, I already love Ben and Jerry's
but now, you know, they are definitely my all time favorite.
- This I think is yours
- Oh yeah! - Thank you!
- Lori, you didn't get one, sorry
(laughing)
- That's fine, 'cause this is mine
- No!
- Hey wait a sec!
- I'm keeping the spoon
- So I think the lesson I'm taking out of this
more than anything is that big companies
like Ben and Jerry's rather than being jerks,
are awesome, they reach out to you and just like,
"Let us help you promote your product"
So if you're starting a small business
or you have a business
(door squeaking)
- Erik, you (beep) it up.
- So if you have a small business or
you know, running a big business, whatever,
just take that into account, instead of, you know,
thinking like, "I'm gonna sue them"
You know, help them promote you, I mean
'cause look it, we're doing a whole thing on Ben and Jerry's
'cause they're so awesome and I think
we are going to go eat some ice cream now huh?
- I'm ready
- You're going to wear a shirt,
and I'm going to eat ice cream (laughs)
Have fun with the shirts!
- Thanks guys, I appreciate it! No seriously
Ben and Jerry's, you guys are awesome
- Have to show you guys some of the stuff we're raising up
'cause why wouldn't you want to see that, right?
There's pretty cool clewberds up here
I know it's a lot of ball pythons,
but there are clewberds too, so let me show you some.
First thing right out of the gate,
where am I?
This one is really cool, I never actually knew about these
snakes until I started working here.
It's a mex max, you know king snake,
but this one's a granite mex max,
so just a little bit different pattern on there.
He'll get a decent size, but not massive.
Some of the adults that we have here, probably around
three footers, and they're egg layers.
Really cool snake, I just, how could you not like that?
Look at those red's and gray's.
This one's a male, we've got a few other females coming up,
but this one is just, look at that man!
All right, so next up is
we have some of these albino golfer snakes.
These things are sweet, I've got a snorin at home,
doesn't look anything like this.
In my opinion, the albino golfers in the bowls,
there's nothing prettier albino clewberd out there.
Look at this thing! It's crazy!
Just even like the head pattern and there's purple and red
I just really can't wait to raise these guys up,
the golfers stay a little bit smaller than like your
bull snakes would. The bull snakes get pretty big actually
but these guys, anywhere from three to six feet,
just can't wait to work with them,
they're pretty fast growing, you know.
We try and feed them at least twice a week here.
They'll definitely explode in size.
Really excited for this project.
Next up we got this little goneye king snake here,
they really remind me of just your typical
little crazy king snake, really crazy food response,
kind of like a brux king, or something like that,
you can kind of compare it to.
Look at that color, that's sweet,
it's got the blacks, the oranges, the yellows in there
and just a really cool easy raising clewbred that we have,
I mean he likes to eat food and just kind of chill, so
I can relate.
No, I'm really excited, these guys get pretty big,
they'll get pretty girthy, pretty long,
I would say six plus feet.
We have a pretty big female here, right now,
but I'm really excited to work with these guys,
this one's from last year.
Another year or so we'll be pairing them up.
- It's totally bizarre to hatch an animal
that only has one eye.
The good news is, is the majority of them really do well,
so we're excited to go ahead and see
what the animal does in the future.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it, as a matter of fact,
if you liked that, right over here is when I hatched Hellen,
the no-eyed snake.
Here's a playlist that has a whole bunch of cool hatchlings
that I have going on.
Hit that subscribe button over here,
and turn those post notifications on,
make sure you have a wonderful day,
and be kind while you're doing it.
I promise, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
