- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the Vlog.
I hope to start a new day is amazing,
or whenever you happen to be watching for that matter.
And I truly do mean that because you people are beautiful.
The other day we had a podcast, by the way
if you don't subscribe to my podcast channel
I'll put the card right up here
go ahead and hit that you guys will enjoy it.
I think, but anyway, someone asks a question.
I thought that was pretty interesting is that,
if you could have any reptile
and you could make it whatever size you want it.
So let's say you have an alligator
like this cute little monkey here,
that's only about three months old
and this could be an adult, you know.
Could you make this into an adult, this size,
It would be the most adorable thing.
Or you could go the other way
maybe take a small reptile and make it really large.
What would it be?
So, today I'm going to show you a couple
of things that I think of and I'm wondering
what you guys think down in the comments.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I love giant alligators, but you've got to admit
if you could have a full-grown alligator that looked
like this little monkey right here,
would that be absolutely ridiculous?
Let's start with one
that I personally would really love
and I've said this all the time.
If I could have a Burmese Python
that stayed exactly the same size as Jeffrey,
with the same temperament as Jeffrey,
I would be all over it.
Now there are door Burmese pythons,
but typically they're scary,
they're a little bit of aggressive.
I'm talking about
a mainland, huge, temperament Burmese Python,
but God, this big.
I mean this is like the perfect size snake for me.
I think it's big enough to be impressive,
but not so big that even like
a four-year, five-year-old could handle it, right.
So it's just amazing
and again, the beautiful temperament.
Again ,there are door firms
and I think over generations
we could probably breed them
to be very calm, like Jeffrey.
But I'm talking about right now,
we're just wishing, right?
And I wish that I could have a Burmese just like Jeffrey
the same color, same pattern, same size, everything.
And then would stay that way, It's whole life.
Now, let's go the other way
and make something larger.
Could you imagine a beautiful gargle gecko?
Like this one here as a giant, like
let's say the size of an alligator
or at least the size of Elvis or something like that.
I mean a three foot, four foot long gargle gecko,
would that be the most insanely cool thing?
And again I can't wait to read
your comments on things.
Again, whether you want
to make something small, miniature
or you want to make something large, that's already small.
It's endless, right
Then I'm not getting into mammals.
We all know that if you could have a miniature giraffe
everyone would want that.
I'm talking about just reptiles here.
We've got Mike here, Of course
and he is going to put butterscotch back.
You've been working with butterscotch
for a couple of weeks.
You feel all right with her?
- She's pretty fast,
- she's pretty fast.
So I'm going to, as you guys know,
when we work with big snakes,
we always want two people here just
in case something happens,
but I'm not going to help them.
I'm just going to watch them.
Let's have that.
Yeah, you got her out.
Okay, all right.
She'll go back.
She goes back way easier than coming in.
So she's going to be fine.
Of course, Butterscotch,
there's a reason we keep her in a top cage.
Probably isn't really that smart
because of course she can strike out
and stuff like that at face level
but she's really fun to feed up there.
And that's why we really keep her up there.
But she's a miniature Lucy.
I'm not going to lie to you.
She looks a lot like Lucy
and she acts a lot like Lucy.
one day she's friendly, one day She's not.
So we'll see what happens
And like I said, I'm actually here.
If anything does happen, I will help
but she's just in a nice soak right now.
And go ahead
- and clean the cage.
- So clean the cage,
he's all good to go
- Pretty well.
Let's give that a little bit of shut off.
- We always talk about the shedding issue, right?
Is that, you know, you, it's not a problem to
help a snake come out
of shed when it's kind of stuck in shed
and butterscotch oftentimes much like a lot
of our rethinks do this where in the winter time
when it kind of dries out
and I talked about humidity earlier,
try to get that humidity up.
We just soak them and you can see
that Mike is just kind
of helping it kind of slowly come
off and it just makes it look nice.
You'll be happy.
And that's a good thing for her to get that shed off.
You don't want that shed on there
because of course bacteria can form belief
that it's supposed to come off, Right?
So as long as you're not trying
to shed an animal early,
it's actually really helpful
for them to get it off in a soak.
And if it's not coming off
if you're having a problem to soak it longer, right?
So if you soak a snake long enough
it'll peel off super, super simple.
And it's not traumatic for the animals.
As a matter of fact, it almost seems
like it might be soothing in a way really?
So she's looking good.
So now let's, let's go ahead
and get her back in.
She's fine, she's not flighty or anything like that.
She is just very fast for a snake.
It's kind of crazy how retakes are like that, Right?
It's like retakes are like a giant snake
that have the energy of a small snake
which is make some really interesting.
You see just a little bit of shed right here.
We'll just kind of peel that right there.
There you go.
Lets get that last bit shed off, here it goes.
- She don't peel now, We're doing great.
He had his line.
She doesn't pee on you.
You're doing good.
So, so that's it.
You did good, Mike.
See where to go.
Give him a round of applause.
Y'all listen, Al is a giant toad.
I mean, you know,
one of the biggest toads on the planet, you know,
there's no doubt that this is giant.
But could you imagine
if this thing was the size of Matilda
or even larger, like a four-foot long toad?
I mean, how fricking awesome would that be?
The only problem is these guys eat anything.
I think they, a four foot long toed
would eat little babies
or something like that.
So you'd have to be careful
but it could probably jump like 20 foot.
Oh my gosh, this.
I mean, this is pretty fun just to imagine
and just to dream about animals
that are different size than they were.
I mean, it's super cool.
So I was glad that someone brought that
up on the podcast that really had my brain thinking
for the last couple of days.
So I couldn't wait to share with you guys.
I know some of you guys are dying
for a hundred foot tranches.
- I wonder the transformed
a tiny insect under the a hundred foot spider
but was now a ravaging panic-stricken countryside.
- And I'm not going to lie.
Although I think I'd be pretty scared
if a hundred foot transla
was crawling down the street
In one way, I think it would be pretty darn cool.
At least if it was something like zombie
the Rose hair transplant.
Now you put a big Goliath, bird eating attitude
or maybe a cobalt blue or a OBT.
I don't want a a hundred foot, one of those guys
cause they'd be going around just killing everybody.
But an animal like zombie here, a hundred foot
I think it'd be pretty darn cute.
I know that there's already a lot of giant snakes.
Speaking of giant snakes
someone's very curious over here at what we're doing.
Hey, what are you doing, girl?
All right, Of course my girl, Daisy.
But could you imagine a Honduran milk snake?
I mean something red like that,
that's the thing about giant snakes.
There's no red giant snakes.
If you could have a hundred
and milk snake that was 1820 foot long.
Now granted, they are kind of fast
and stuff like that,
they would be a pretty,
a funny animal to take care of.
There's no doubt about that,
but nevertheless that would be pretty cool.
Again, it's endless, isn't it?
I mean, you could go from smaller animals
to get huge big animals that say small.
I mean, it's like, gosh
I wish we could genetically engineer
to change these guys because we could have a field day
with all these animals
Another wild snake.
So that's enough.
I'm not going to beat a dead horse down in the comments.
Let me know what you guys think.
I want to hear what animals you want to have.
Smaller, which ones you want to have bigger,
which ones are, I'll pick the top five ones.
I'll post them on my community page
and we'll do a poll on him.
And the winner of that poll.
Maybe I'll send you guys some short
and the winner of the poll
and whoever started and I'll actually
send you guys a couple of things have merged.
So I'll reach out to you guys, but I can't wait to
hear what you guys have to say about that.
Remember to always continue to improve things.
You know, every time you can even do one little thing
organization, stuff like that, It's huge.
So this is just a little back area
that we hang our hoses for all the drains
and stuff like that.
So we just want to make it more organized.
So I'm going to hang a couple more of these things
up so I can actually hang more hoses up
so that things aren't all over
the ground just makes it neat, easy,
everyone knows where things are,
it goes back where it's supposed to go
and things like that just make my job easier
and everyone else's job
because the worst thing you ever want to do is
when you're looking for a hose, trying to find it.
So now we're going to put these
up and everything will be good.
And there you have it just a little organization
that just makes everyone's life a little easier.
Here's my big yellow tail cribo.
I mean this thing is absolutely a massive snake
and I'm hoping that we get a chance
to breed these guys to share.
Of course we have Black tail Cribos
and then the yellow tail cribos.
A yellow tail cribos, believe it or not
are a little bit larger.
I mean you could see this snake literally
is probably a good seven and a half foot long pretty whippy.
when I first got this little monkey,
he was out of control
and he would actually even like to bite
and stuff like that.
Now it's actually gotten pretty cold.
it's a little bit crazy when it comes to movement
but at least it's not a biter.
You can imagine a seven foot snake
that has a strike range
of about three foot with this type
of whippiness coming at you.
I had some fun times with this guy, for sure
but hopefully if any luck we'll get some babies
in the female he's breeding is spectacular
and here she is.
Now I'll be honest with you.
She could probably be a little bit bigger
and a little bit more beefy,
but she's just really turned
down in the last six months eating well.
So I think there's a chance
that we can put enough food
into her to potentially breed here
in the next month or two.
And you may say, well, gosh,
that male is a lot larger than the female,
while it comes to Cribos
at least in my experience is
that you kind of want the male to be a little bit bigger
because the females every now
and then can get a little bit contagious
during breeding season
and they are snake eaters.
They will eat or mate
if you know what I mean.
Again, I'm sure that if you had similar size,
you should be completely fine.
But in our cases typically our males
are bigger than our females.
So again, this is a gorgeous snake right here.
I hope she produces again,
maybe another couple months a beef in her up
and maybe we'll get lucky
and get some eggs here this spring.
Pretty excited guys that this is gonna be our first female
that lays eggs in 2021.
She is literally probably days away from our ovulation.
This is actually just a pinstripe that is head
for piebald and it's bred to a pastel pied male
meaning that I could produce, you know,
lemon, blast pied pin pied, pastel pied, pied,
all that type of stuff.
And it's a pretty big girl.
So I'm assuming she'll probably
have eight, nine maybe even 10 eggs.
So that's pretty exciting guys.
I mean, we literally are just a month
and a half away from the first clutch of 2021.
And then it's game on.
We're going to be having tons
of clutches as the year goes on.
So pretty excited just to say
that you can see that kind of glow before they go
where she's just really lightening up and glowing.
So I can't wait to get the first eggs of the season.
Remember last year when I told you I wanted to
kind of op my orange dream game.
Well, these are a couple of my hold backs.
I absolutely love them.
This is actually a super orange dream pastel over here
again, just the pastel and super Arne stream.
Look at the color on that one
and then the other one is actually
a super orange dream lemon blast.
So that would be a super orange drink passed
out and a pinstripe.
But I tell her, I love these guys
and my buddy over at Ozzy Boyd's is the one
that actually produced the very first orange stream.
And he has credere Oculus orange dream style.
So these are just a couple of the animals I back
but I am excited for the future.
These are both females.
So they're going to be really good
adding into some more orange dream stuff.
Just starting the game.
I'm a little bit behind.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm about 10 years late on this project,
but Hey, I'm getting started
and I'm going to have a great time
with that little shameless plug.
Lori's has been adding Ball Pythons
to the website every single day.
This is actually an invisible
it's actually a Russo and a mystic
that is bred together which is just really, really cool.
Again, white with a little bit of pattern.
Again, every single day
Lori's adding stuff to the BHB reptile site.
So if you're interested in the Ball Python now
just go over there and head over.
I very rarely ever shout it out
but Lori has been working really hard to get a bunch
of Ball Python on the site.
So that was pretty fun.
I mean, what big animal would you like to have Small?
What small animal would you like
to have big in the comments?
I can't wait to read all about it.
