(car engines revving)
(hissing)
- Good morning, everybody, welcome to the vlog.
Always cool to just kind of hang out with Baby Cush,
the Crock Monitor, all these beautiful animals every day.
I am so blessed that I have
each and every one of you guys.
I hope you have an amazing day
and today is going to be pretty cool 'cause
Bruce once again is bringing in some new animals
that I'm excited to work with, and when it's with Bruce,
typically those animals are venomous.
That's right, some little cobras, couple of new species
that I have personally never worked with,
he's never worked with, but with this one particular cobra,
it's kind of like the pinnacle.
Not a King Cobra but a 'Pinnacle Cobra'
one that everyone thinks about when they think about Cobras.
So, I am excited, let's go play with some death!
(upbeat music)
- Bruce, what do you got for us tonight?
- Oh man, I can't wait to show you these guys.
Jessica actually gave me the okay on her anniversary
for me to buy a couple of more snakes,
and it happened to be a couple of my favorite cobras.
One of the smaller ones that I really, really like
is actually inside Hunan Province,
(speaking foreign language) or a Chinese Cobra,
and the other one,
- (exclaims)
- and I think that one's it.
- (exclaims) The things are (beep) awesome!.
- And the other one is a Spectacled Cobra.
It's actually of Sri Lankan locality,
(speaking foreign language)
- Oh my gosh!
These are dope, dude!
- [Bruce] They are pretty!
- Oh my gosh!
You kidding me right now?
This is ridiculous man, I mean, these are both ridiculous!
Now these are what you think of
when you think of Cobras, right?
- Oh yeah!
- I mean, this is like, this is the Cobra you think of
when you think of Cobras, my goodness!
They are little pistols too.
You can tell this one right here is just fire.
- [Bruce] (indistinct) Yeah!
- Oh my gosh!
I'm going to let you take out that one first,
here, I got it right here, I'll help you out.
- [Bruce] That was a good side of the packaging, right?
- Yeah.
- (indistinct) They were making sure that these guys,
they're really great at actually getting out,
like it's one of the things about all Cobras.
It's pretty good at that.
- And these guys can be pistols when they're young,
they go fast and you gotta be on it right now.
So we'll see what happens.
After shipping and stuff like that,
they might not be as crazy but boy, I tell you what,
they're going to definitely be fired up.
(exclaims) This one doesn't wanna hood up.
- (indistinct) He's in the shed right there too.
- Yeah, he's in the shed so he might be,
but it's like, again, when they hood up,
it's a little bit easier
because you're going to be able to see,
this thing is so small!
Oh my God!
Let's see if we can get it on this,
like little white thing here.
- Come on little guy!
- There he goes!
There's the little hood!
Wow!
Look at that thing!
Yes!
- Oh my gosh!
- That is awesome, Oh my God!
- This is ridiculous!
- [Bruce] You walk around here if you want.
- Again, that's what you think of
when you think of a Cobra, right?
- This is exactly why I got this, dude!
This is exactly why we're wanting one of these,
because this is like, this is what you remember,
like, Aladdin and all this other (indistinct)
- Exactly, yeah, when you were a kid,
when you saw a Cobra, you saw that!
- [Bruce] Yeah, like all they needed to put it down.
(imitates playing flute)
- Oh my Goodness Gracious, Wow!
What a trip, I tell you what, that is ridiculous!
Just look at him, he's very active!
But the thing is, because it's in shed,
it's probably having a little bit harder time
actually seeing, which is going to make it harder
for it to kind of key off on the visual part,
but it knows something is going on
and sees enough to kind of come up.
Again, and if you think about that flute again,
like Bruce talked about, it's the movement
that keeps them interested, right?
When I fiddle like this, just continuing going like this,
it's going to continue to follow my hand.
Again, it's in shed, so it can't see it folks.
Wow, Bruce, this thing is incredible!
What does something like this size eat?
- So like at this size, I'm probably gonna end up
going to be feeding this guy some pinkies,
(speaking foreign language) are known to
take on a little bit larger prey
than some of your Cobra species,
like they'll eat a little bit heavier food,
but I do want to start small.
At least when I first get him in and see how he eats.
but I don't just feed him one time though,
I feed him twice a week usually, especially at this age.
- Man, that sucker is beautiful, dude!
I love that animal!
(indistinct) Let's play with this next one.
- Oh my God!
- All right so here we go, let's get this guy back.
- This is always a trip.
(soft music)
(cobra hissing)
(soft music)
(lid closing)
- That one is in, easy.
- [Bruce] That's not the easiest its ever been.
- Beautiful.
- [Bruce] There's no way this one's going to be as easy.
- No, this is gonna be, these guys are known for
being super feisty and super fast.
We may be chasing this one around a little bit.
I don't know, we'll have to see what happens.
As soon as that lid comes off, it's going to be game on.
- This is like a little miniature King right here.
(lid opens)
- Yeah, the lid's off, this is going to be fun guys!
It's so pretty!
Look at that thing!
This would hopefully key off pretty quick.
Nope, He's not going to
Come on, hood up!
Hood up for me!
Hood up!
Yep!
There we go!
Fast little monkey!
(snake slithering)
Come on little monkey, come on!
- [Bruce] He's fast!
- They don't stop!
(both exclaim)
That thing spun around so quick, that was crazy!
(wincing in pain)
Look at that thing!
Like I said, these guys are crazy fast, crazy quick,
unbelievable, I wish you would hood at least
because then he would actually stay up on us a little bit.
Even with the like, box, I can't get him to hood.
He just wants to cruise, and that's always the part
that I get scared about with Cobras,
it's when they're moving like this,
they're a different animal for sure!
You know, it's amazing to think that a little guy like this
is so potent, right?
I mean, it's crazy and like I said,
I'll be honest with you, I would rather deal with
the big eight, nine, 10 foot King Cobra
than this little dude, because this little dude
is really wily and he's not gonna be predictable at all,
and still packs a pretty nasty punch,
So be careful with these guys, Bruce, please be careful.
I know you're always careful but boy, I tell you what.
That's beautiful, man!
- [Bruce] Yeah, this is definitely going to be the last
for a little while,
at least until we find a nice King Cobra or something.
- Yeah, King is the next thing, right?
- Yeah.
- So getting this guy in the tub is going to be a tree.
Let me just tell you what, what do you want?
Do I get a shot?
- Yeah, let's try it, man!(indistinct)
It's a little bit smaller than the other ones,
it might get a little bit of more(indistinct)
- Well it's going to be quick.
Look at this!
Its like frozen here, man!
That's beautiful!
- [Bruce] Right?
- Yes sir!
- [Bruce] There you go.
(lid closing)
- Damn!
(soft music)
- (indistinct)A little down there.
(lid closing)
- There it is!
- Good, that's a good one!
- Tell you what guys, that was absolutely incredible!
Bruce, thanks.
You always bring stuff that I love playing with.
This is awesome dude, congratulations!
Those are suitable!
In case you guys missed it, we have some new merch out.
This is the Didion Dixie one, you can get them in shirts,
different colors, hoodies, we also have salt and pepper,
we have coffee mugs, we have stickers and stuff like that,
so we'll put a link in the description.
Please go check that out, and if you want some cool merch,
I think you should get some, and I really truly,
always appreciate your support.
You guys always kill it on the merch side.
So thank you so much, check it out, and if you want some,
please do me a favor and get some.
I tell you what guys, there was a period in there
where I actually did something that was
kind of a little bit weird,
I jammed my finger on the ground.
They don't stop.
That thing spun around so quick, that was crazy!
(wincing in pain)
What basically happened was I was so excited
about the animals that I went to kind of jump,
to kind of get a closer look and I jammed my finger
in the ground, but what you didn't know is that
we had Jay, Anthony and Jessica behind the scenes,
and when I jammed my finger and said, "Ouch!"
everyone kind of thought I got bit, you know,
everyone's like, Oh my God, did you get bit?
Even Bruce looked at me like thinking like, Oh my gosh!
And I didn't even think about it at the time,
but their reaction caused me to think, oh my gosh!
Did I get bit?
You know, the truth is, I knew I jammed my finger
into the ground, and the snake was like
two feet away from me, but just before that,
I actually had touched a snake and it's swung around
really quick, and it didn't get close to biting me
at least in my own eyes, but it did swing around
pretty quick, and I guess Jay and everyone else kind of
thought that there was chance that it was like
a delayed reaction, like I did that.
It swung around, it bit me.
A few seconds later, I was like it was starting to,
and it actually even freaked me out for a second.
'Cause for one second, their reaction caused me
to think like, Oh my God!
Did I actually get bitten and not realize it?
But the truth was, I just literally jammed my finger
into the ground and by the way, my finger
still hurts really bad, it feels like I sprained my finger.
But again, I was just so in the moment,
it was such an incredible thing
to mess with that baby snake that, I was just
like a little kid, and I didn't even think about my body
when I (indistinct) crushed my hand right into the ground,
but it just goes to show you that you have to be careful
at all times and really be careful with the way
other people react to because, obviously they thought
maybe I was hurt, so it was freaky, but in a way,
it was kind of an interesting story.
So once again, as always, you can never be too careful.
Everything was fine, but it was a little bit freaky,
no doubt about that.
What do you say we wrap this day up
by looking at some baby Ball Pythons that just hatched out?
I'm really excited that this clutch hatched out.
These are all just a bunch of albino Ball Pythons
that are (indistinct) for pied.
So it was an albino female bread to an albino pied male,
of course the albino is recessive, the pied's recessive,
and the fact that the albino is recessive means
that all of these are going to be albino, which is awesome,
and this is by far the largest clutch of albino-to-albino
that I ever hatched out,
and you guys may remember in the past, like with Helen,
that sometimes you breed albino-to-albino,
you could have some issues.
Thankfully with albino pie to an unrelated albino female,
I didn't think I was going to have any problems
and every single baby is perfect.
All of them have all their eyes, there's no kinking,
They're absolutely amazing, and again,
because the pied is recessive it means that
they're all carrying pied as a heterozygous trait,
and this basically just meaning that they look like albinos,
but if you breed them to a pied
or you breed them to an albino pied
you'll get more albino pieds,
which is just absolutely incredible.
So, regardless, super happy just to have
a bunch of albino (indistinct)
Got some beautiful baby Ball Pythons in here,
its out of this clutch.
This was a big clutch of different things,
and this was actually a black Pewter Cypress
that was actually bred to a half-pied,
So these are all just possible half-pied,
but there's a whole bunch of really cool stuff in here.
There's like a black Pastel Cypress Ball Python right here,
we have another black Pastel Cypress Ball Python right here,
have a bunch of just Pastels that don't look like
they're really anything.
Other than that, we have a couple of black Pewters
right here that don't look like they're carrying the
Cypress gene either, I think in the egg.
Well, this one actually looks like it is Cypress right here.
You can see the striping on it and stuff like that.
That looks like a black Pewter Cypress right here,
whereas this one doesn't have that striping on it.
It looks like probably just a black Pewter,
getting more pastels right here, just a really beautiful
clutch of a variety of things,
and those black pewters are just absolutely,
those silver snakes are just something else,
there's no doubt about that.
And then we have another little (indistinct) Pastel Cypress
right here, so it's kind of cool, and it does look like
we've got a little Pastel Cyprus here too.
I wasn't sure that any of the Pastels were Cypress,
but sure enough, this is a little Pastel Cypress here.
The Cypress gene just cleans things up a little bit,
make some striping on it, really an awesome animal,
mixes with Mojave really super well.
So, nevertheless, a bunch of really cool Ball Pythons
to get set up, get started eating and eventually
they'll make it to the website.
All right, back to opening up a couple of things
you guys sent us, you guys always send us
so much great stuff and we appreciate you beyond belief.
So thank you so much, always our address

Just kidding, I'm just kidding,
but I do like essential oils.

- I know, right?
Speaking of which, get the heck out!
Either this is a toxin or it's an essential oil.
But, is there a note?
Though, it's really like, what is it?
- We should throw it away.
- Or I wonder,
I don't know what it is.
- I know
- It could be
- [Cameraman] Waft it!
- It could be poisoned.
- [Cameraman] You have to waft it(indistinct)
- This is giving me the wicked queen vibes
traumas from snow white
- [Cameraman] Turn into a toad.
- So this God, it smells like (beep).
- This came from Inglewood, California.
- [Cameraman] Smells like CBD.
- Oh, that's absolutely CBD.
- [Cameraman] Yeah.
It smells weedy.
- So , well, thank you.
- Why, thank you, for the nondescript,
yeah bottle of, yeah. Goodness.
- Yeah, whoever sent it to me,
if you could reach out and at least tell us what's going on.
'Cause I can't take something I have no idea what it is.
- Those little Cobras were pistols and absolutely wonderful.
I love those things, cannot wait to
continue updating you guys as they grow.
