- Here bud.
(lizard falls)
Whoa, geez!
It's one o'clock in the morning.
It's just crazy, it just seems like she gets
a little bit of distance and then kinda just stops.
(upbeat music)
Hey, good morning, welcome to the vlog.
And happy Thanksgiving for you people here in America.
You guys know that today is what they call Turkey Day.
And I'm gonna be a little bit honest with you guys.
We had a pet turkey here at The Reptarium
and it was absolutely amazing.
And today I'm gonna be feeding turkey's off.
Including trying to feed Lucy.
The biggest meal of her life.
Once I tried to feed her a pig, she didn't eat.
This is a 25 pound turkey, oh my god.
Will Lucy eat?
That's the first order to get going.
Then we are just gonna try to feed turkey to whatever
wants to eat here at The Reptarium.
I hope that you have an absolutely amazing day.
What do you say we have a great time together?
Have a great Thanksgiving together.
And let's go try to feed Lucy.
So this is the turkey and I have no idea if Lucy
is gonna eat it, but it should be a pretty
interesting thing none the less.
Look at how huge that thing is.
Happy Thanksgiving Lucy!
You interested?
(upbeat music)
Well that was sure dainty, I wasn't expecting that.
Okay, one second.
Uh-oh, uh-oh!
There, that's a little bit different!
There we go girl.
(laughs)
- [Camera Man] That was sketchy.
- That was sketchy, when she popped up I was like oh my God!
But now she took it this way.
Definitely looks like she's interested.
That is one big Thanksgiving dinner right there for Lucy.
Whoo doggy!
That was awesome!
What do ya think?
- That was crazy, I was trying to get the shot.
Hopefully I did, that was exciting yeah.
That was awesome.
- There she is let's hope she eats this whole bird.
This is gonna be a huge meal for her, oh my gosh.
(upbeat music)
While Lucy is eating her turkey I actually have some
other turkey here that I'm gonna cut up.
I'm gonna feed some of my animals like Elvis, Abasuku
and Argumus Prime and Tazzy.
Because hey listen, it's Thanksgiving.
Look, I think Abasuku is definitely ready some food.
Here you go Abasuku.
Here you go bud.
(upbeat music)
Hey Elvis, what's going on?
You want some turkey?
Want some turkey?
Yes!
There you go bud.
You ate that quick.
Here's some more.
(upbeat music)
Elvis is a pretty quick eater.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh you make such quick work of this.
(upbeat music)
Elvis you're such a pig.
Oh my gosh, that's a big meal for Elvis.
I mean he absolutely loves turkey for Thanksgiving.
Elvis your such an amazing little dude.
Thank you buddy, good bud, good bud.
(upbeat music)
Lucy is probably less than half the way there.
Oh my gosh, it is so incredible.
And even after almost 30 years of seeing big snakes eat
I still get absolutely mesmerized when I see this.
Holy cow, and again she hasn't gotten to the widest
part when her jaws have to really open up.
Oh my gosh, this is, this is breathtaking.
I mean again, I feel bad because we had that
pet turkey here.
And I thought that turkey's were such amazing animals.
I literally would have a turkey as a pet.
So I don't get the enjoyment out of seeing the animal
itself get eaten, but holy cow.
Mother nature is amazing that a snake
can eat something that large.
A quick break from the Thanksgiving festivities to tell
you that BHB Reptiles is having it's, I don't know,
8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, I have no idea.
Black Friday sale tomorrow.
Make sure to go over to www.bhbreptiles.com.
If your interested in a lizard, a snake,
whatever the case may be.
Everything is on sale for Black Friday.
So go show that some love.
(upbeat music)
A little reset here.
It's actually been four hours since Lucy took the turkey.
And that's where she's at right now.
Honestly, she hasn't even got past
the shoulders of the turkey.
She's just lurking, wow those jaws are wide open.
If she can get past those shoulders I think she'll
crush it right down.
But the shoulders are definitely giving her a little
bit of a problem, for sure.
Just gonna keep on going.
I have a feeling it might be a late night here I don't know.
I'm gonna wait I want to see if she's gonna finish it.
Remember last time I tried a pig and she got about maybe
a quarter of the way down and then she spit it up.
So, let's hope she doesn't do that with this one.
You know Argumus Prime is gonna want some turkey
for Thanksgiving for sure.
Argumus, what's up bud?
Here bud.
(falling down)
Whoa geez!
(upbeat music)
That's some feathers on you buddy.
(laughs)
Oh my God.
That's a nice big meal for Argumus.
His tummy is gonna be full.
I absolutely love it.
Argumus, you're so amazing.
Happy Thanksgiving buddy.
I'm pretty sure Tazz is gonna like this too.
You want some Tazz?
Yes?
(upbeat music)
Yes, good boy.
He's such a dainty eater.
Here you go bud.
There you go sweetheart.
(upbeat music)
And there it is.
Tazzy is absolutely incredible and now so many
of my animals are gonna have full bellies for Thanksgiving.
Tazzy, time to go home bud.
Time to go home.
Go back home.
Go back home Tazzy.
(upbeat music)
Happy Thanksgiving bud.
I'll see you next time.
(upbeat music)
It's now nine o'clock at night.
We fed Lucy at about 11 o'clock, so she's been working
on this for about nine or ten hours.
She is getting much, much closer.
Now that she's got past that front shoulder part
she should be able to finish pretty quick.
But for those of you that want to know what I put
into a YouTube video.
Again, been working on this video now for ten hours or so.
Looks like I still have about two hours left.
But it will be completely worth it.
And just so you know particularly the pythons in the wild
are like this.
They eat really large meals it's not uncommon.
Typically she's gonna get two rabbits that are about
five to seven pounds.
This is about a 25 pound turkey so it's the biggest
meal she's ever eaten.
But by no way is it kind of detrimental to her.
I would never want you guys to think I would
do anything that would harm these animals.
In the mean time, she's been working on it.
She's getting there.
(upbeat music)
Another hour and a half just went by.
And really very little progress.
I mean it seems like she gets down and then she kinda
backs up a little bit, gets down, backs up a little bit.
I just think this is gonna take a long time.
I'm gonna stick this out for another couple of hours.
If she isn't done in a couple of hours
and it's like midnight, 12:30, one in the morning.
I think I'm just gonna go ahead and shut it down
and come back in the morning.
I mean I don't know what else to do.
She's trying so hard and I know it's fine.
But it definitely is stressing me out a little bit.
I'm not gonna lie.
But I'm still thankful because it is Thanksgiving.
And she's doing her best to eat it.
This will be a absolutely big meal for her.
I don't think she's gonna be eating for a few weeks
after she's done with this one.
But, okay let's just keep on watching.
(upbeat music)
It's one o'clock in the morning.
It's just crazy, it just seems like she gets a little bit
of distance and then kinda just stops.
I'm not exactly sure.
Again, I know that reticulated pythons are kind of made
to eat much larger prey than 25 pounds.
But, she is definitely taking it slow on this one.
I'm getting very tired.
But I'm still trying to stick it out guys.
I really wanna see her get to the end.
Oh my gosh, it's just so crazy.
I mean I am exhausted.
I've been here since seven o'clock in the morning.
So I've been here 18 hours.
But I just can't take my eyes off this so.
I'm trying guys.
I'm gonna try to stick it out as long
as I possibly can before I get exhausted.
But hopefully she makes some progress soon.
(upbeat music)
It's now three o'clock in the morning
and I'm gonna be honest with you.
As an animal lover, when I set out on this thing
I thought it was gonna be really an amazing experience.
And I wanted to see her eat something
like a huge meal like this.
But now I'm kinda stressed out.
I wonder if I made the right decision.
I mean we could be going at this for like 14 hours,
15 hours straight.
Makes kinda like, did I make the right decision?
Am I putting her through unneeded stress
when she could have just eaten a couple of smaller rabbits?
Rather than something this big.
Know these animals are built to eat large meals.
Much larger than this turkey.
But at the same time you know, I love this animal.
I don't want anything to happen to her, so.
I'm in it for the long haul now guys.
I've got no choice, but to hang in there
and hopefully she finishes before the sun comes up.
(upbeat music)
Alright guys so it's five A.M.
I'm pulling the plug.
I mean she really isn't getting very far.
I'm wondering if I turn the lights off
she maybe feels a little more comfortable.
She'll move a little bit quicker.
I'll be back here in about two and half hours
and check on her.
She'll either be done or we'll catch the end of it.
Regardless, Lucy your doing fine.
(laughs)
We'll finish this Thanksgiving episode
of feeding on a turkey in about two and half hours.
Alright so it's 7:30 in the morning.
Got about an hour and a half of sleep.
Took a quick shower.
Heading back to the shop to see if Lucy finished.
Okay, so let's go inside and see if Lucy ate.
How she looks when she's done.
(unlocking door)
Oh no, this is horrible.
Oh no, Lucy what happened girl?
She didn't eat it.
All of that for nothing, oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe 15 hours of watching her
and she didn't eat it.
She obviously had to give up on it.
You can kind of tell where the stain is.
She probably got about as far as we were last night.
And I think she just got wore out.
I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
That was a long time 15 hours of trying to eat.
I just, I don't think I'm gonna do this again.
I don't think I'm gonna put the animal through it.
I thought for sure she would just crush that.
Because again she eats sometimes up to 20 pounds of rabbit.
Just two at a time.
I would have never expected that she
couldn't eat this turkey.
I mean its really not that big
when you look at that compared to her.
I'm shocked, I'm shocked.
But again, I don't know what to tell you guys.
There it is that one definitely didn't work out
the way I thought.
But again I don't think I'm gonna try this again with Lucy.
Maybe I'll get another big snake that can eat bigger meals.
But, so there it is.
With that said guys going on 90 minutes of sleep.
Here it's gonna be a crazy day, but I hope that you enjoy
your Thanksgiving.
It was still really interesting to see her go
through that and try.
I'm sorry that she didn't finish it, but I hope that you
have an absolutely amazing holiday.
I hope you eat 25 pounds of turkey.
No, don't do that.
I don't suggest you guys do that.
Regardless have an absolutely amazing holiday.
Thank you as always for all your support and watching
and everything like that.
Have an amazing day, evening, whenever you happen
to be watching.
