- You guys ready for another egg cutting?
Look at these beautiful pearly whites.
That's right.
There's one, two, three, four, five, six eggs.
And they come from a pie to a pastel pie.
Here are the parents.
And this is the mama pie.
She's about a seven year-old pie.
I've had her for a while now.
And she's an absolute ripper for sure.
And she was bred to this pastel pie,
which is actually an incomplete dominant pastel
and then the recessive pied mutation.
So, everything is gonna be pied.
So, let's go ahead and just jump in
and cut some eggs.
(upbeat music)
And of course, because pied
is a recessive mutation,
that means everything in this clutch to be piped
but because the male was a pastel pie,
meaning there's an incomplete dominant
pastel in there.
There could be pastel pies and pies,
but how cool is that?
Everyone of these six is gonna be pied,
but they're gonna be variables.
So let's jump into egg number one
and just see if we get a 10% white one,
a 90% white one pastel?
Who knows?
Let's go!
And here we go.
First egg.
Oh my God.
It's so cool to be cutting eggs.
Well, this one seems like it's got
a very low white, like super low white,
but it's really cool.
And it happens to be a pastel pie too.
And I actually sometimes like
that really low white,
because the pattern and color is so incredible.
You add the pastel to it
and it is absolute popper.
By the way, it just looks like maybe like
a 15 or 20% or that is a low white pie.
And like I said, I actually like
the low white pies,
but the perfect ones for me are like 40% white
but this one's probably like 50%.
Let's jump into number two.
You never know what you're going to get
when you're cutting pied egg.
Here we go, number two.
And on the other spectrum, this one looks like
it's got a pretty decent amount of white.
I mean, it's hard to say another pastel pied
by the way, which is awesome.
But it does look like it's maybe pretty mixed.
You maybe 50-50, maybe 40%, something like that.
Hard to say, it tell a colors of the egg.
But nevertheless, that thing is awesome.
Definitely cool.
We still have four eggs to go.
That means four beautiful little pies.
So far two pastel.
Let's do it.
Number three.
Here we go.
What do we have?
Gosh, it's so exciting to be producing
baby snakes again.
And again, this one looks like a little bit
higher white pie now.
The last one looked like 40%.
This one looks like probably more like 60%,
something like that.
Again, I think this might be a pastel pied again.
We've got three pastel pies,
but this one looks like it's gonna be really,
really beautiful.
It's crazy to think about it.
You know that we're hatching pies like this.
I could never imagine all those years ago
that we would have pies and pies hatches
just hatching is so absolute incredible.
And for those of you guys that ask
I'll tell you why I'm cutting eggs.
Let's cut egg number four.
And a lot of people say you're white.
You cut egg.
You look, truth is, is that it doesn't hurt
if you cut them at the right time
and you do it the right way.
And sometimes you can actually find babies
that will actually have like
a twisting umbilicals or something like that.
Then you can save the animal's life.
So, it doesn't really hurt to cut the eggs
if you do it properly and it can only help.
So that's right.
So let's see what we got here.
This one's actually flipped upside down.
So it's hard to see what, how much white
is on this one.
I'm gonna say it's probably a 40
or 50% white one right here.
Can't see if it's pastel.
This one actually looks like it's probably
a normal but it's hard to really say.
Two more pies to cut.
Let's jump into egg number five.
And so I hope that explains why I cut the eggs.
Not to mention it's just fun.
Come on.
Seeing what's inside these eggs
is absolutely amazing.
Like this one right here.
Okay.
Another kind of lower white one.
This one's got a little bit more white
than the first egg
but not a whole lot.
So, a lot of this clutch
has been a little bit lower way.
Well, no, there's some white, pop it out here.
This one might actually be 30 or 40%
and this does look like a normal pie.
Probably not a pastel pie.
Last egg, last pie.
Let's jump in.
And here we go.
Oh my God, I love cutting snake eggs.
And I love seeing what's inside them.
And I'm gonna love seeing these guys crawl out
of the eggs here in another four or five days
for sure.
And our last pie again looks like probably
a pastel pie,
but it looks like probably 40, 50%,
the exact kind of pie that I really love.
So there you go guys.
Six eggs, six pies.
It looks like we got four pastel pie,
two normal pies.
We've got some low ones.
We've got some high white ones.
Absolutely incredible collect from these guys
hatched out.
They're gonna be amazing.
And I, hey, I think it's only a couple more days
'till our next clutch to cut.
Oh, and welcome to the vlog, Reptile Army.
I hope to start your day is amazing.
Speaking of reptile army, if you guys
haven't joined the movement,
please go to reptile army.com.
You know, listen, we're just getting started.
And it's all about the movement.
It's all about you becoming our
(indistinct)
It's about us as a community, educating the world
about reptiles and turning them
into reptile lovers like I do.
That's why I get up every single day,
because I love it.
And I want you to be part of the army.
So, go to reptilearmy.com.
You know I have love this small snake.
Of course, this is the boy
that has that more charcoal look from them
that is absolutely amazing.
But the thing that's exciting
is about the female.
And I mentioned the other day that it look like
she was getting awfully chunky, like maybe
she is grabbing and has some babies in her.
So, I decided, what do you say?
We just go ultrasound and just see
if we could see anything inside her.
Oh my God, it's gonna be so exciting.
Let's do it.
I've never ultrasound a Colubrid like this one.
So, I'm really not sure what I'm gonna look for.
But, it's really hard to say.
I, I mean, I could see, see right here,
I can actually see this kind of big masses
right there.
Those look like babies,
but I can't see.
Oh yeah.
There's definitely a bunch of these in here,
for sure.
So again, it's hard to see
why this ultrasound works.
It's really difficult to actually see
likes skeletal or anything like that.
But, there's no doubt that she either has babies
in her or she has slugs one or the other.
Nevertheless, it looks like
we are gonna get something from this girl,
which is a huge accomplishment.
Because again, I didn't know
that I was even gonna breed them this year
because so many of my friends said
they're really difficult to breed
and that most people don't have any success
again like young.
So this girl, hopefully within the next,
I don't know month, two months,
I have no idea how long it would be.
Hopefully we'll open up the cage
and they can have literally up to 50 babies
sometimes even up to 75.
I don't think she's at the size
where she's gonna have 75,
but hey, even if we got a dozen
or two dozen babies who (indistinct)
I would love it 'cause they have certainly
become one of my favorites Colubrid snakes.
Got another exciting clutch.
Let me just tell you guys.
If there's a clutch that I pulled this year
that I say I'm not excited about.
You should definitely see if I get my head check
because I'm excited about every clutch.
But some clutches are just more exciting
than others.
Well, no, they're all exciting.
The point is this is actually a Bumblebee,
which is a pastel and a spider
and is bred to a Black Pewter lesser Cyprus.
Absolutely incredible animal mama as always.
They're not gonna be happy with me.
That's just the way it is.
You know.
Mama, come on.
Come on baby girl.
Let's go.
Up you go, off the eggs.
There you go.
She came off pretty good.
And it's got a beautiful clutch.
I tell you what I love it.
And this black pewter lesser Cyprus last year,
actually didn't father, even one egg.
I bred it to like four females
and unfortunately backed it up with a male
at the very end.
And everyone in the clutch has turned out
to be the other male.
So, that's the first time I've gotten good eggs
from him and that is actually already fathered
two good clutches.
And now this clutch and that is just a lot
of really cool potential animals on even 57 days.
Man, when we're cutting this clutch,
there's going to be some bangers,
it's gonna be exciting.
I cannot wait, two, four, six,
seven beautiful eggs.
Hey, I tell you what that's gonna be amazing.
And with those combos food.
Little update on Boelen's Python down here.
Of course, he's still living in this cage
for the last three, four weeks.
Something like that.
Doing really well, probably looks better
than it looks since I've got it.
To be honest with you.
So it's settled in, it goes up in the trees,
it goes down, it's always moving around.
It looks incredible.
The iridescence on this thing is insane
but I did wanna tell you that we finally came up
with a name for it.
This was a tough one.
We went back and forth on a few different things,
but you know what?
This is that elite Python, right?
Probably one of the coolest pythons
and hardest to get pythons on the planet,
for sure.
At least in the top five.
So we decided to call it Bugatti.
That's right.
Bugatti, the Boelen's Python.
I think it's perfectly because it's such
a rare animal and so expensive as well.
And it just kinda looks sleek
like a Bugatti, right?
So, guys meet the Boelen's Python,
Bugatti.
In the clever room, that can only mean
one thing.
Egg time,
egg time,
egg time.
Egg time.
And this is a banger right here.
This is actually a Crimson Scale that's female
that is wrapped around a beautiful clutch
of eggs.
And she was actually brought to a silver queen,
which is that ghost scale is.
So, these guys will all the scales,
all the hypo scales,
and some will actually be head four
unless this girl is (indistinct)
there'll be (indistinct) so that's pretty awesome.
I love scale as clutches in the beginning
we didn't know a female scale would lay for legs.
Obviously all the female scales we have now
are crushing it.
So, we've got two, four, six, eight,
nine beautiful eggs.
These babies are going to be amazing.
This next clutch is actually
a umbilical Corn Snake.
Let's take a look and see what she got.
Oh, she is so pretty.
She's got a beautiful clutch of eggs near two
and she was actually bred to a silver queen
'cause she's had anerythristic.
So basically what we're gonna get
is some us some (indistinct) Okatees,
some hatch from those Okatees,
stuff like that.
So, this is a really nice clutch.
Look at that.
It looks like there's one little Slugger in there.
Mama, why'd you give me one little slugger
but we'll get the rest of the eggs out here.
Oh, here we go.
Then, this one little slugger right here.
We'll get mama back in her cage.
Good job, mama.
You did good.
We'll get you cleaned up.
Get you some fresh water, all that stuff.
She'll be good to go.
She has two, four, six, eight, 10,
11 beautiful eggs.
(indistinct)
still crushing it.
I think that's clutch number 60 for the year.
Everyone says that I don't show bugs
nearly enough attention on the vlogging.
I couldn't agree more because I do love them.
I become a guy that just loves tarantulas.
This happens to be a Brazilian black,
which is a Grammastola Pulchra
and it just is such a beautiful animal.
It is just black and used
to be a little bit jumpy to be honest with you,
but we handle a ton over
the last six months or so.
And it's really calm down.
I mean, just look at how beautiful that is.
Then, there's no doubt that I need to get
more bugs in the vlog,
because they're really cool.
Let me know in the comments, if you guys
wanna see more bugs and what bugs you want
us to see.
We have a pretty cool assortment here,
but we definitely need to get more
when we do the expansion.
Definitely gonna add some more bugs
because kids love them.
And I love them too.
Always admiring these little baby snakes.
I mean, these are really living art, isn't it?
I mean, every animal looks different.
Every mutation is incredible.
This is what they would call a Coral Ghost
which is basically that Coral Snow,
that snow, that height pink snow corn snake.
But this is in the ghost version
and the ghost is actually a hypo
and an anerythristic.
And again, it's the same thing.
It's gets that high pink and unbelievable color.
This thing is gonna be an absolute ripper
when it gets bigger.
But I just have to show you guys now
'cause it is gonna be amazing.
