We did it you guys we hit a million subscribers, which I didn't even think would be possible. But here we are So whether you're watching this video on your subscriber or not, thank you from the bottom of our hearts Thank you for all of your support to help us get to where we are today Snake discovery first started thanks to this snake right here. This is Janet our bull snake He was my very first snake and he is just a sweetheart He might just be a normal mutation with no hets (Heterozygous) even But he is- he was the gateway Snake to the world of reptiles and he's the reason why we're obsessed with them today or at least I am who was your? Athena? [Ed: Probably.]- okay, the ball python Ed had was his gateway snake, you know Everyone has a certain reptile that gets them hooked. We want to do something big to show our appreciation for all of your support So we have not today's one video as a celebration But we have five videos planned to celebrate this big milestone the first three are going to be kind of a tour around our house and Just showing you all of our reptiles and they will come out pretty much in a row the last two Celebratory videos might be a little bit longer of a wait and I'll explain why once we get to them, but it to make it easier To find all of these 1 million celebration videos. We'll put a blue border around the thumbnail of each one So it'll be really easy for you to identify them and click on it and see the next part of this celebration We are also unveiling- (I'm really excited for this) We are unveiling a brand-new piece of merch that was designed by one of our fans, Lexi Created this design and we even tweaked our logo to match the colors that she used and now it's part of our merch store But it'll only be in the store for two weeks. So that's until March 8th You have to order this awesome t-shirt. If you would like one. Today's video will be part one of our reptile house tour So without further ado, let me show you some snakes Since we just had Janet out. I figure we should start with some of his babies He was also the very first snake we ever bred. So that's another reason why he's so special to us One of his babies is down here This is from the very first clutch. We hatched a couple of years ago. It was Janet and Brad This is Hanna one of their babies. And as you can see, she's not like huge by any means That's cuz we're not trying to like power feed these to be able to like beef them up faster, it cuts down their lifespan Considerably. So we're feeding them at a normal rate. Not only did we keep this female from that clutch We kept almost all of them. The reason why we kept so many bull snakes from this clutch. Oh man, come back it's because of This one right here. This is stripey. He's gotten so big we have one escaping. She's just going back there. That's okay Here you can also go by the door. And yes, we can tell them apart. That's why I'm ok with them all being together so most full snakes We're never gonna get this shot then no most normal bull snakes have kind of a checkered belly to them See the checkered belly right here but stripy It has pretty much an all white belly and he's got these beautiful stripes down each side of that belly He these stripes it's kind of a partial stripe I mean, it's almost completely there but it is broken but the stripes continue all the way up to his head so this is just a really pretty bull snake and the dorsal patterns also a little bit different you can see the dorsal pattern of this normal sister of his and then compare it to Stripe is there's a little bit of a difference there, too. So we're really curious to see if Stripeys pattern here is unique or if it was just kind of a an abnormality. That won't be replicated But we won't know for sure until we race them all up and breed them out So yeah, we're just kind of hanging onto them right now for a future breeding project of course, you know stripe these this one right here and this is C This is Doddie. Doddie actually is not super friendly. So I'm surprised she's not trying to bite me right now back here We have a light that's in the way That's Hanna. She's apparently a new species of arboreal bull snake down here is Tina she is in shed. She's a little more skittish but she's calming down now that I'm starting to introduce her into programs and This is Jane. There is nothing really special with her pattern. So she's a plain Jane's. That's how we got her name, but We have a lot of bull snakes just from that clutch now We aren't planning on breeding Stripey to his four sisters to see if his pattern is genetic and if it is to see if they also carry that weird stripe gene It's might sound weird but it is normal for snakes to interbreed occasionally extend the wild they don't disperse as much as birds or mammals do so they are able to handle a little bit of That line breeding without any ill effects so it might sound weird, but it's completely normal in the snake world for siblings to Occasionally breed and that's why we're doing it is to see if it's a genetic mutation that we may have discovered Okay, this is too much too much snake. Let's put you back. Oh Okay. Now that those bull snakes are all put away. Let's actually start with this rack right here and this bin is Your sassy one. We're gonna start off with you there. This is our scaleless, Texas rat snake Texas rat snakes are known for their attitudes so he's gonna be Striking constantly. I think he's a shed. Why no, he's not. He just is chilling in his humidity box Really cool looking scale a snake we got him when we were first getting into scaleless cuz he was a Fun him like it was a Craigslist deal and we're like, yes, please we'll take another one I like their big derpy eyes. Like they're kind of funny-looking and they feel Exactly how you would expect them to like they feel like skin? It's really really unique. And that's the Texas rat snake attitude for you. He's oh, you know what? I can actually I couldn't see that before he's got some pattern down his back you see that That's kind of new that's really pretty. So he's growing up really nicely for us We uh have since gotten more scaleless So, I don't know if we'll end up using human breeding, but we're just raising him up in the meantime Just like most scaleless rat snakes He does still have some scattered skills on his back and his belly is still fully skilled, but really pretty yellow skills I think it's really neat underneath that rat snake is Species that we're really excited to be working with and soon to be breeding even this is a tricolor Hognose snake. This is one of the more tropical species of hog noses They don't like permanently wet substrate, but they do seem to like slightly higher humidity levels than like Western prognoses do she was really pretty as a baby and they usually are but it's a hit or miss on how pretty they'll be as adults our Female has really darkened out with age and as she's grown She's the red bands have kind of turned into black bands But our male here is remaining as bright as he was as a hatchling We got them both at the same age at the same time and this just is a good example of how much faster females typically grow since they are the same age and I think she may be ready to breed this upcoming season Yeah, I think she would be ready to breed. She's like a young adult but she it it still might work out We might actually breed these this year I'm hoping so anyway, we don't know for sure full of babies from them But fingers are crossed that we do these two are eating appropriately sized frozen thawed rodents for us They don't seem to be as picky of eaters as Western hognose A--'s are the only downside is they are more expensive because they're harder to find and not many people breed them But I'm gonna just put these guys back and move on to the next ones. We actually have our male and This habitat over here. He seems to really like the Eco worth mixed with Cypress bedding And so it's since it's a he does seem to prefer kind of wetting Substrate up front and then it's drier in the back. You kind of see that It's really dry substrate back here up front we have spring tails in here And I want to add some isopods too And those are just small invertebrates that will break down Waste matter and it keeps oh here's a bunch of they like the water just for some reason These are the spring tails see how they bounce off. They just spring off my fingers That's why they're called spring tails and they just eat decaying matter. They're a great janitor cleanup crew Next we actually are going down a few levels. We have a lot of our snakes information right now That's why there's so many empty bins. So we'll just have to Get you guys all caught up when slow snakes come out of brumation I was hoping to do this tour after everything is already awake, but you guys subscribe too quickly. I wasn't ready So this is just what we have a week right now next would be our beautiful Mexican black king snake. This girl is growing so fast. She's shedding like every three weeks. It seems it's ridiculous She's a great eater Mexican black. King snakes are like all the rage right now it seems like everybody wants one and I can understand why they're beautiful snakes when they're not in shed like she is they're like Iridescent too you kind of see a rainbow of colors and they're scales in the right light, but unfortunately she's in shed So you're not gonna see that today? they also seem to be one of the more calm species of king snakes which is One of the reasons why along with them being good eaters why we recommend these as one of our top-five Starter snakes. If you want to see the rest of the top five snakes we recommend for beginners We actually have a video about it. It looks like this I recommend checking that out. Later I've received a lot of emails from people asking one will have babies as you can see our female is still pretty small So we're at least a year or two out before she's big enough to breed We do have a male lined up for her when she's ready Vickie if you're watching this I'm still excited to use Carlos to a pair up with her when the time comes but again We will not be producing Mexican black king snakes this year 2019. So I do apologize for that But you're just too little let me actually show you her habitat here. This is a what is twenty eight quart Ben Yeah for size reference 28 quart bin and It's plenty room plenty of room for her We have a hide on the cool end to hide on the warm end and this is how I'd recommend setting one up at home - you have your multiple hides water dish things to climb on and around and Since she's in blue we have for humidity box on the warm end and by using humidity boxes it gets you like Perfect sheds, like ideally you want a snake shed to come off in one piece Including the eye caps You see those little skills where the eyes are right there if those come off with the to the shed all in one piece You're doing something right. This is exactly what you're looking for. Here are all of our fat tails geckos No, they are not all housed together. We do have the mail house with females for breeding purposes We kind of move them back and forth. This is an a melanistic. Hi orange It's really a pretty new mail that we got at one of the Tinley shows We're raising him up to replace Chuck since he will make prettier babies then Chuck Does your babies are adorable Chuck but I want more emails. I think it'd be great to breed some emails So we're raising him up and just look at the color difference He will produce really pretty baby fat tail geckos now you can kind of see the difference between a an original tail on a fat tail gecko here and Reground tails on these three over here when a tail of a fat tail or leopard gecko regrows It's much more bulbous than it was before and it's very smooth But if a fat tail gecko with a regrown tail is currently in the breeding season They sometimes lose a little bit of weight during that season So that's why his tail isn't as wide as this younger Non-breeding males is you can also see that a little bit in this female right here She has kind of a thinner tail than the female here That's because this one has been laying eggs for us recently and she is delegating some of her nutrients to those eggs But she will beef up once she is done with egg laying process. This girl bred for us last year. This is Milton and She has kind of let herself go. She is very very big I think She I mean I've been feeding her extracts. I want her to lay eggs, and I thought she was developing eggs She bred for us last year, but there's no eggs yet in her lay back. She's just getting bigger and bigger So I don't quite know if she's planning on producing this year But we'll find out Milton here does not have the fat deposits behind her front arms, which is the sign of an obese gecko So if your leopard gecko at home or fat tailed gecko has fat deposits here It means they are very overweight and should be on a diet and she doesn't have those yet So I'm not too concerned about her very very fat tail. She just lives up to the name fat tailed Gecko this one who is who is breeding for us this year? She's already produced four eggs You can kind of see the next round of eggs since geckos lake two eggs at a time You can see how they develop down here in the abdomen you can pretty much estimate exactly when they're going to lay the eggs both based on when they laid the previous set and What you can see growing on the inside fat tail geckos are a wonderful starter lizard The only drawback is that they're kind of hard to find so they can be a little bit higher of a price point than say leopard geckos but if you can get your hands on a fat tail there's docile personalities are just Amazing. They are very friendly by Nature down here in our unheated levels of the wreck our our amphibians we've got toads and we have salamanders Okay, that's everyone these are all of our amphibians we have a couple of toads these are just American toads this one and here's the other This is Trevor Of course excited Harry Potter program sometimes and that one is also Trevor Because I bring one or the other and they switch to give each other breaks just kind of the tropical substrate again their spring tails And not only their Ben but all of these bins over here is Thomas this is the tiger salamander that redrew this leg and we actually made an entire video about it Which you can it looks like this. Here's the thumbnail You can watch his leg regrowing Thomas really likes food, and you may try to eat the camera Thomas goes to programs So he has learned to associate people especially kids with food because kids always feed him at the programs Yeah, you think you can eat everything? Next Thomas is Houdini. This is the little tiger salamander that was given to us by a fan He is also adjusting very well here Oh, okay. Yes. He does want to work I feed these guys crickets and dubia roaches and a lot of earthworms They'll eat anything that gets close to their mouth. They really don't care. Tell your salamanders have huge appetites. Here's the last one This is window. Well, you can I'm sure you can guess where he was found Haha This is the reason why we have the shirt in our merch store of a salamander eating a finger Thomas, don't crawl up here Okay toads That's right there they're very movement-based get it ah you both missed Okay, well we're pretty much done with that rack, so we're gonna move on to this rack right here This is full of sixty quart tubs. Let's go from the bottom up down here We have tutti frutti. She also goes by Nemo. She is a Mexican milk. Snake a very friendly milk Snake - she is a teenager. She's about 1415 years old somewhere around there But they live to 2025 sometimes even 30 if they're really long-lived individuals So she has plenty of time with us still she is so friendly she is a little overweight She was another Craigslist find And she she had cleavage when I when I got her so I've been trying you can see this cleavage back here She is definitely in over conditioned or fat snake so I only feed her in adult like a jumbo mouse once every two weeks and I'm hoping that she starts losing some weight I've had it for a couple of years and she doesn't seem to be losing weight much So I'm trying to get her to be more active - and that's why I started incorporating her into programs And that's also because she's so friendly she's great to have in programs in case you didn't already know milk snakes get their name because When farmers first discovered them, they were found in their barns and next to the cows and the farmers figured Oh, no that snake must be stealing my cows milk and crawling up his legs and suckling at it while I'm asleep That's why it's in the barn So let's call it the milk snake, but we're gonna kill it on site because we don't like snakes that steal from us They can kill it. Yeah, exactly Um obviously snakes don't drink milk. That's not why these snakes were in the barns They were there to eat the mice that we're in the barn now I think farmers realize their many farmers realize that these snakes are just there to help and kind of keep their barns clean free of Pests farmers I believe do for the most part like having snakes around because they realize that there are helpful species This Ben has a red tag on it. That means there's something angry inside we're just sassy and I see him right there These are our legless lizards camera. Man's gonna have to be careful when I open this top. That was a jerk The other ones actually really friendly, so let's see how this goes Hi, I think he just has a really strong feeding response I Like to think that he's not actually aggressive or mean. He just really likes to eat. Okay. I changed this yesterday. You already pooped it Well, this is a European legless lizard or a shell to pusuk they're also called they were once known as Glass lizards because people used to think that if you touch them they would shatter like glass and then when they weren't scared anymore They could put all the pieces back together Obviously that isn't true I'm gonna take out the female Are you back? I want to deal with you right now This is what I believe to be the female now you cannot visually sex these guys unless they're pooping you can kind of watch their cloaca and males will expose their Reproductive organs as they're going to the bathroom but in order to see that you have to be at like they have to be level with the lizard and You have to be lucky enough that substrate is in the way so you can actually see them going to the bathroom So chances are slim you'll be able to sex that way, but it can work It's just not a 100% sure method either so another technique is by looking at their head shape and Apparently females have kind of a thinner head shape whereas males have more of a bulky head But again, that isn't 100% accurate So the one way to tell for sure Is by doing a blood test and actually getting a DNA Sample or a DNA test done on a sample and we have not done that these two Breeding of these guys is virtually non-existent in captivity So they are unfortunately all wild caught the ones that are in captivity right now, but who knows? Maybe that'll change Maybe we'll have a parent to breed them some day and have captive bred specimens instead of everyone needing to get wild caught ones Who knows we'll see we have a video all about legless lizards that you can find right here We also prove that the basilisk from Harry Potter is in fact a legless lizard and if you want to watch that video That's right here today on the menu for the legless lizards ever meant to put that in here earlier But I guess now's as good a time as ever We give them high quality grain free canned dog food Along with various insects that are dusted with either a multivitamin or calcium powder today They're getting super worms along with their dog food. And I think that's what this mail really wants by the way His name is Lieutenant, Dan Dan this is Legolas. Who's your food? I think that's all he wants. Is this food Dan. It's in the dish One yeah Really? Drag it around We give them aspirin fibers just like we do our snakes because not only do they retain retain a tunnel shape To allow them to dig and burrow but if they ingest a little bit of the bedding with their food The Aspen fibers are small enough that they can be digested. If not, just at least passed through and they shouldn't cause impaction issues I've heard of someone who had their legless lizards on stone or like aquarium gravel and passed away from impaction from eating the gravel Next one up is Janet. I don't really spend much time on him. You've seen him before Janet is the bull snake I had out at the beginning and you can really just see his tail back here so I won't take him out again Next up is the first Giant Madagascar. I've noticed over the day. She just usually in this cave Yep, there she is nice, sweetie. You are so pretty We got a trio of these Madagascar hogs. This is the Largest species of hognose snake. We picked him up at the Tinley Park Expo. It was last March So we've had it for almost a year This is one of the females and this big one here is the male the other female is very cold. She's an S laughs And she's the one that I handle the most These two are kind of a challenge to hold on to and the females must all over me So I smell quite lovely right now, but these are big colubrids. These are solid snakes They are all adults So we do plan on reading them this year, but they breed a little bit later in the year than most other colubrids Although we pair our other curly ribs in March. These guys will have to wait to pair in July or so All right, those two are put back away because they're too much to handle this one However is pretty mellow pretty handleable compared to the other two, but really cool snakes we did have Insane issues getting them to eat when we first got them. We were told at the Tinley Park show we picked him out back from the Sellers for the vendors that breeders cos these were all wild caught we were told that they were eating from frozen thawed Unscented rodents already and they had been in captivity for over a year We couldn't get them to eat anything for at least six months for her She was the first one to start eating and it took about Seven and then eight months for the other two to start eating so they went a long time without food and we were really worried About their health, but we were able to use some tricks and eventually get them to start eating and now they are fantastic Eaters they are garbage disposals. We just had to work with them a bit and now I'm not worried about them at all In fact, I am looking forward to producing these in the near future and I think these are kind of an underrated species It's probably because nobody breeds them yet There are a few breeders out there, but they are becoming more popular as they're becoming more available captive bred This is native to Madagascar being you know, the giant madagascar hog Nose is pretty easy to remember they live pretty much all over the island, but they prefer well-drained soils. So kind of grassland areas They're not they allow you. They might look like a tropical species of snake that may prefer humid environments They definitely seem to prefer it to be on the more drier side. These are also not very shy species We've heard plenty of stories of people who are camping in their native range and they woke up to find Hognose snakes giant Madagascar hogs in their campsite trying to find food. We're gonna put her back We have trays and a lot of their habitats because that's where we placed their mouse on To separate it from the bedding below. We have a video all about giant Madagascar hog noses So if you want to learn more about them, it's right here next up Is our Fox snake her favorite spot is under this log, that's where I find her all the time This is the only Fox neck we have that's not information because I need her in programs throughout the year But it's essential to roommate this species in order to get them to breed the following spring So I'm sure she won't want to breed for us this year She was found in a box at the end of someone's driveway that said free snake on it so someone picked up the box looked inside saw the snake inside and it had a wound that you can actually see the Backbone sticking out through the skin and through the scales. You can touch her back vertebra. It was just they were just right there so we got her in the long run and after a couple of years of Sheds she healed right up Although she has this pretty gnarly scab or scar a lot of people mix up Fox snakes with bull snakes So you really kind of have to look at their faces Fox snakes have a much more rounded Face like a rounded nose right here. Whereas bull snakes have quite a pointed nose in comparison These also have a completely brown head as adults but babies have some spots to their head so you can't really go by that If you know their pattern it's easy to tell them apart But if you don't know what the patterns are have them memorize just look at the nose shape Here's an example of a bull snake so you can see how much more pointed the nose is now I'm gonna pull this whole thing down. She's gonna be kind of tough to take out This is one of our new bull snakes that we picked up last fall when we picked up I think it was 11 in one group. There's a whole video about it. This is one of the Examinee look at her nose though, see how much more pointed it is. So that's one of the biggest difference between Bulls and foxes So really pretty snake she's a little too young to breed. That's why we haven't been bru mating here this year instead We're spending the time to be fur up a little bit. But as you can see, she was not handled in her previous home So she's a bit skittish. I know all you want is your cave so Duh The male is as skittish as she is the male exam think is just a buffer. So I'm not gonna take them out She looks exactly the same. The habitat is very similar Instead. We're just gonna move on to the next rack so over here we have our egg eating snakes We haven't separated by species. This is the Daisy pelvis fachada They are cute little egg eaters Kind of have a smaller female in here. It's a very slender species of snake. Hi cutie They're really easy to feed. Well once they're this size. They're easy to feed you Just put fresh quail eggs you pooped on that one put fresh quail eggs inside their habitat and As they eat them they crunch up the shell and just leave a shell behind This was actually a diamond death egg If I remember correctly that I got from a friend like any any bird egg will work They'll eat them all they do seem to prefer Bird eggs from species that nest up in trees as opposed to ground dwelling species That's because these shells are thicker so it's a little harder for them to eat, but they'll still eat them. That's fine I'm gonna put you back in here. It's actually two in there They have no teeth so they can't eat each other. They get along fine songs. They eat you can cohab them Yeah, this is the Daisy pelt is Gansey or Ganzi. Oh There they are. We have a male and female together in here. This is a slightly darker species They have darker eyes too and the female if I take out the male, she might show you their defense mechanism Which is really cool. Let's see if she'll do it There it is So when this snake Feels threatened. They rub their killed skills together to make that raspy sound and this She's very good at displaying it that's kind of cool, too and The reason why they did that is because in their need of range in Africa The saw skilled Viper does the same thing and it rubs the scales together to look intimidating and scary Hopefully you can still hear everything with their going at it So they just try to act like they're Scott saw-scaled Viper and to scare you away, but they don't even empty Sometimes they'll Bluff straight but not often. It's usually just there's a bluff strike But usually they just rub those scales together Are you done? All right How's mouth opens ooh, that's pretty cool You made her man. Now, you're putting him back. No, I'm gonna put him in the other cave. I'm sorry Your girlfriend is in a mood right now. Like the worst thing you can do Okay, calm down. Calm down male. Oh, he's doing it too now Really? Yeah now they're both angry. I'm sorry It's like I'm mad you made her mad now I have to deal with her I'm sorry. I'm just I'm just gonna push this back again and let them calm down below here We have the tricolor male you saw earlier. And now we have some Western hognose We have a lot of our Western hogs in this rack in this one we have This is a female that's actually going to be upgrading her bin soon. She is a little bit hissy. That's okay She is apparently a pastel morph, but honestly, she looks like a normal to me But she is just about breeding size So we might be breeding her probably will be breeding her this year And here's our her future boyfriend who is also supposedly a pastel again. He looks normal, but that's okay They'll still have cute babies. I'm sure there's a little bit of a color difference between the two and there are really nice little snakes Ready for more hard noses. This is probably my favorite hog nose that I have This is a twin spot albino, or albino twin spot wherever you want to call it The albino is of course or color mutation and the twin spot is the pattern mutation She has you see instead of one large central spot down her back. She has two that are side by side This is not a trait that you can breed for it's a line bred trait if you want to learn what line bred traits are We have a whole video about genetics you can watch but I'm not gonna go into details about it here then We also have on the other side This is a condom morph so they have the black ballet, which is really nice they have the white walls along the side of their black belly and Dorsally, they have fewer spots. So they have a reduced pattern on their back And this is a co dominant trait. So we will when she's big enough Hopefully be breeding her, but she is neither of these are big enough to breed yet. So maybe next year We'll see she was a terrible eater when we first got her. So she's a little bit on the smaller side for her age She had something. Oh, yeah, she's had albino. Yep. Yep So by breeding her we might get some albino condos, which would be cool. All right, we'll put you back. Oh What? Really nice now. She's a great eater as you can see Really Smells like food next to them is bacon. She's another con de mutation So she's also she also has that beautiful reduced pattern down her back Along with the black belly that you can see here We have a pretty snake and she's super calm. This girl joins me at a lot of programs So she's used to being handled almost on a daily basis and she eats in front of crowds, too Which is like unheard of for hognose snakes, they can be picky eaters so to have one eat in front of someone like in front of a group is Well, we lucked out with her is some of what I'll say there maybe you would she'll snake Alright, I'll put your bag. There you go. And these two bins are just more hog noses We have a normal that's het albino and exam thing. So she's hits. No, but she visually looks normal This is lumpy. He's just a normal No heads for anything just a normal Western hognose snake Beautiful snake where we use him in programs when she needs to take a break So we kind of flip-flop between these two so they don't get overwhelmed with programs A fan actually sent us lumpy 'n if you're watching this he's doing great. He's an awesome Awesome little hognose snake beneath those two are yet more hog noses These are more Western hognose as this is kind of a kind of looks red Yeah, wasn't she wasn't sold to me as a red, but she's a really pretty kind of copper color This is a pair of head exam thick hog noses. This is the female. This is the male. He's not a very good eater So he's a little bit on the smaller side, but the female is nice beefy, but she's still not quite big enough to breed So we're thinking maybe next year. So 2020 we'll be able to breed them and then hopefully produce eggs antics then over here I won't take him out as you can see it's a red tag, so I have to be kind of careful This is a male rat snake and just like all rat snakes. He has a huge appetite and he also is very active so we have lots of things for him to explore and climb on and underneath He also has his humanity box over there, but I'm not gonna take him out because he's so food motivated I'd rather not get bit by another snake today down here is candy corn This is an albino Nelson's milk snake. We got him at another Tinley show You probably saw this it maybe you saw the video where we picked him up He was pretty wild when we first got him But he's definitely calming down with some regular handling and I hope to incorporate him into programs sometime soon we had another albino Nelson's milk snake named candy cane and she I mean I assume we still have her but I brought her home from her program once and put her in the bin and Closed it, but there was a little gap that was still open and of course she found that gap overnight and by the time I saw that gap the next morning she was out so Candy cane is loose right now, which I'm still kicking myself over for not closing the bin all the way So that's why you always double-check learn from my mistake guys double check your enclosures Make sure they're closed securely and all the way each time you put your snake back Because if it's not they will find that small gap and they'll escape so I'm sure we'll find her eventually She's just not here right now She's out fighting crime we figure but we have candy corn instead for the time being and he is a one full edition We'd like to breed him to candy cane someday when she shows up on this side we have Our newest false water Cobra nice, sweetie. Oh My goodness, I know we're still working on handling. She's not too bad She does calm down with time, but she's still trying to figure out what people are she's growing quick We love false water Cobras will show you a couple other in part two of this Reptile house tour and this is the girl We are raising up we bought her as a baby from a breeder and we hope to breed her someday, but in the meantime We're just having fun watching her grow and eat and eat and eat. These are garbage disposals. They're like never-ending pits She would eat every single day if we offered it but I of course don't want to feed her too much or she'll get fat and It could actually cut her lifespan in half If not more if we were to power feed her, so we're just still feeding her at a normal rate She's another one of the snakes that has kind of a tropical set up in her enclosure. They like humid environments in the wild So we have her on Eco earth and cypress mulch mixed together just like that tricolor That's up the waist and just like the tricolor We have lots of springtails in here to break down the waste matter and we're hoping to add some isopods in there, too um The last thing I want to show you your last species that's in this wreck would be the bull snakes that we held back from last year inside of this bin is the albino that we held back and She is beautiful This was the high white albino that we hatched out last year. This is the hypo snow So he's hypo and albino and white side at all put together. This is a male and this is a female This is a just a regular snow. So she is the same thing but without hypo both pretty much white snakes one just has a little bit more of a pattern than the other and then if you compare them to The albino here you get another cool shade of like orange and pink Mixed in and there's actually one more even that we held back this one Which I just pulled from another enclosure is a high by now. So hypo and albino So look at all those different colors and patterns. These are gonna be so much fun to breed in the future But again, just like the false water Cobra. We're just enjoying watching them. Grow in the meantime Alright, there's one more rack in this room. That'll probably be Too I guess Okay, there's like two more racks in this room and that'll be the end of part 1 for this video So I know there's a lot to see in this room. This is giant Madagascar Have you already saw her and down below? This is creepy cooter He is a corn snake a blood-red mutation corn snake He was abandoned in an apartment complex and really thin when we first got him we have a video about why don't we got him in case you want to watch it and he's actually named after a character from another YouTube channel that we watch but he's super friendly and This guy goes to programs with me too, and he eats in front of crowds and we're not gonna breed him though Because the blood red mutation of corn snakes has the weakest immune system out of all of the genetic mutations We are not gonna breed him because we don't want to produce snakes with weak immune systems So we just have him as a rescue and as our pet but I'm gonna set you back down And gonna go right back into his cave. Yep going into his cave He really likes this like he's usually wound up underneath it. It's funny some snakes really like half-logs Okay down below is one of Ed's reticulated pythons, a pretty young one. This guy was a rescue as well He was pretty thin when we when we got him But he's actually looking a lot better now. He is an albino golden child mutation. So a really pretty reticulated python No super dwarf or anything in him. So he's a mainland retic and he will get big someday He is thankfully a great eater nowadays. It's just too bad that he wasn't at first and he came from kind of a poor situation Originally, but he's a he's a great little snake He usually has an attitude which is why he has a red tag, but actually he's really docile today down here are Ed's-- --this is like Ed's section. These are the Woma Pythons. And you are under your water dish looking adorable. That's a great thing about these water dishes is they're kind of hollow underneath So they double as a hide -you have like made yourself in the exact same shape of it, too. This is the male Woma Python. He is not Super handleable. I mean he's okay. He's just kind of wiggly. These grow to around five to six feet. So he has some room to grow yet. How old is he, two years? (Ed: two, three...) Two and a half. Okay, yeah, we're hoping to breed him someday, but we have to wait till he's big enough first, but I'll put him back and instead instead I'll take out the female Who is a little bit bigger. Hi sweetie, this one goes to programs with me. These are native to Australia, by the way. They live in such a hot area in Australia that they only touch a few inches of their belly to the hot sand at a time and this girl has a big appetite. A lot of people will tell you that Woma pythons have very strong feeding responses Which we have we've-- we would agree with but people will also tell you that they are an aggressive species of snake But we think they just have big appetites. It's not that they're mean they just really like food So as long as you handle them regularly, they make fantastic pet snakes. One thing I really like about the Woma Python. Is their orange belly -look at that! Isn't that cool? I don't know any other snake that has this color of an orange belly. It's just super cool. Ring-Neck Snakes I mean, kind of have an orange belly, but they're so tiny you can barely see it Okay. That's been- Oh, that's right. There's one more. I'm sorry This is kind of a newer snake You know us and Bull Snakes This is a Hypo mutation Bull Snake. Oh, you just pooped too. Look at that That's a fresh poop (looks good, though). This guy was really skinny when we got him last fall So we decided even though he's breeding size, we didn't want to brumate (hibernate) him because we wanted to take that time to help Um, beef him up a little bit and get the weight back on him and he's looking excellent nowadays. He's gotten the weight back on. Um, no problem It helps that he's a bull snake and they love to eat, but I think this is a true Hypomelanistic Bull Snake Hypo means they lack melanin or they lack black coloration in their scales And if you look at him, there is no black anywhere! A lot of Hypo Bull Snakes You'll still see some black on their tail, but that's all brown So this may be the first True Hypo Bull Snake we have ever seen So, of course we had to buy him. Last rack. This is the baby rack. Up here we have a Fox Snake baby. Oh, you're in shed. Look at that You're just about to shed too, got a nice tail buzz going already. Oh, you're so so scary so scary Come on, you're a Fox Snake. You guys are supposed to be really friendly. We're just raising up this little girl and This little girl to be future breeders and these are actually about ready for a bin upgrade, they're growing pretty quickly. These, we have a bunch of empty bins we store our We house our baby snakes that we hatched in the summer in this rack So it's winter a lot of those babies have sold We have a few still but not many like this is a bull snake from a friend of ours who bred her and we're um- She's getting a new home pretty soon. She's just in here temporarily and then same thing for a couple other Bull Snakes in here They're not ones that we're keeping. They're just for sale or already sold. We have a couple of Hognoses this was Yeah, this is the male Het-Snow, he was a really bad eater in that other bigger rack so a trick to getting Hognose snakes to eat is to put them in slightly smaller enclosures and that usually helps I just moved him last week. So i don't know if he's gonna Eat yet but I'm hoping that it helps. Oh, here's the Scaleless Rat Corn that we bred last year. Oh, you shed! Nice. Hey buddy. You're looking good. He ate yesterday So wrinkly we're just raising him up as well Just to kind of see-- oh, that's right wonder if you can see his heart beating. The main reason why I kept this as a hold-back Was because you can see his heart beating through his body; you can see him digesting his meal; you can see when he's about to poop So you're my little science experiment hold-back. That's really the main reason why I'm keeping him Here's another -yeah, and he's really pretty, he's gorgeous-. Here is the Super Conda. Man, you dumped your water again. This is a Super Conda Hognose that we hatched a while ago and held back He's also kind of small because he was a horrible eater He, still, only eats live mice I cannot for the life of me get him on frozen-thawed but I've kind of given up and I'm just feeding him live because I want to bump up his size so that I can, I dunno watch him grow and see him as an adult. Last would be a couple of other Bull Snakes that aren't ours; We have Garter Snakes down here We are raising up some Garter Snakes. These are the- oh, they're gonna be spazzes, of course. We have California Red-Sided Garters in here Beautiful and they are gone, here they are Garters we've found do better when they're kept in groups. They eat better. They are kind of calmer, California Red-Sides though are kind of crazy snakes, they're very active. However, check out this little girl This is one of the hybrids we had last year She's growing really well, and she is so pretty She has some Ribbon Snake in her and some Plains Garter Snake in her. She has Checkered Garter Snake from her dad She was an "oops litter" We did not mean to breed her parents together, but after seeing how pretty she is turning out I am actually kind of okay with it She's a really nice snake. And she's actually a lot calmer too than those California Red-Siders She's also a great eater too. These guys are eating fish and worms and pinkies, we're feeding them pinkies now. And that's that. That was- Oh, really? You could poop on your stand that whole time we were filming, you had to poop right now That was a lot. That was a lot of snakes a lot of reptiles we Probably took two hours, I think it was, to film all of that So we're going to call it a day But this will be the end of part one to our reptile house tour. Our next two videos We'll be showing you the rest of the animals that live in our house Of course, I don't want to skip over Cheyenne though Cheyenne is our Rescue blue and gold Macaw and she is plucked because she was neglected in a previous home and she picked up this habit of plucking Her feathers out due to stress and boredom So this is a habit like chewing on your fingernails, where it's hard to stop or curb This behavior. Macaws have a mental age of about a three-year-old. They're like toddlers for life So it's like getting a toddler to stop biting their nails which is difficult and it's difficult to get you to stop this habit But that's okay. We love her anyway. Her personality more than makes up for it And she is our baby. So she also lives in this room, which is why I wanted to include her in this video. Let's put her on her- [Ed: She just makes a lot of noise.] She's not too bad. Well she mumbles though she doesn't scream like a lot macaws do Yeah. [Ed: Just, click click click.] She mumbles and [Ed: Jingle jingle jingle, mumble mumble.] Yeah knocks things over while we're trying to film so she was in the other room until just now we just brought her back You're a good girl. So again, thank you everyone for all of your support over these last couple of years We wouldn't be where we are now without all of your encouragement and all of your support. So, thank you again The next few videos we'll also be celebrating a million subscribers and they will again they have a blue border around the thumbnail So they'll be easy to find. We would also like to thank all of our Patreon supporters for backing this channel But with that all said stay tuned for part two, and then let's test out Cheyenne's knowledge before we leave Okay, Cheyenne the nut is in this hand ready? Which one? [Gasps] You got it Good girl, Wow. She actually picked the right one Mmm is that good? We'll see you later! Ugh, really, ugh. Don't put your tail in my mouth what is wrong with you! That whole time we were filming, you had to poop right now Ed: The joys of having a bird Ed: Right Cheyenne. Say, "I poop where I please and then I make mom clean it up" Ugh, it's a bad one too. Not what we needed right now Cheyenne. Yeah, and you said you wanted to film the second part today
I started watching in 2017 and it was such a relief to find a snake channel that was educational and entertaining instead of "CHECK OUT OUR POWERFED BREEDER BPS. THEY LIVE IN BARREN RACKS AND THEY ALL HAVE OVER 25 DISTINCT MORPHS SCREECHING ROCK OUTRO"
I simply adore Emily!! My daughter wants to be just like her and I absolutely encourage it.
