Ring-necked pheasant baby #1

TOTAL SPOOF/PARODY
for all those reptile breeders out there.

The soundtrack, ideas, and quotes are all material owned by Jurassic park and should not be used commercially. I make absolutely no money off of this crappy video.


No animals were harmed in the making of this video. We were lucky enough to see the belly and tail end of the baby snake to make sure that it had absorbed all of its yolk. So we knew that it was fully formed before gently prodding it out of its egg. Its siblings, who had pipped at the same time as this one, had all come out of their eggs two days ago. He was the last lazy guy sleeping in so to speak.

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor ( http://www.youtube.com/editor)

Most of our cresties won't come over and eat or lick fresh fruit when we put some into their enclosures. They tend to only go crazy for pangea gecko food or live insects. However a few of them will enjoy a taste of fresh ripe or slightly over ripe banana. Flint is the only one who gets a little more excited over it though.

This was the last video we were able to take of Sookie the pacman frog before she passed on. We found out later through dissection that she died form impaction, not fom the mouse which was fully digested, but from a madagascar hissing cockroach shell she could not digest. The roach was of a proper feeding size for the frog and she had eaten many before that with no complications, however we decided that if we ever got a pacman again it would only be fed freshly molted madagascar hissers only, among the other usual diet of mice, worms, and fish. RIP Sookie.

Ring-necked pheasant baby #3

So unfortunately we have to put this record up because we don't have a decent camera to record this baby's color and pattern with in relation to our breeding project. This baby's egg was checked last night around 10pm NY time with no holes or slices in the egg from the baby trying to hatch. I woke up this morning to a gecko leg stuck in a hole of its own making and it still trying to hatch on its own. I was able to see this by candling the egg as it was fully developed and pretty clear to see inside with the added pen light. I don't like videos or the idea of cutting reptile eggs open in the first place, but as I kept an eye on that baby and watched its weakening attempts to cut more slices into its egg I knew I had to do something. So I worked on gently cutting the baby out of the egg. First I freed the leg. Then the rest of the baby when I could see and realized that it was fully formed. By that time however it was very weak. When I got it fully out the poor kid had either stopped breathing or never started. This kind of experience saddens me to no end, as the baby had been fully formed and ready to hatch, but for the life of me I can't understand how it got its leg stuck through a slice in the egg that it had done. It was a beautiful baby and I wish I had woken up sooner when it started hatching to watch it and maybe help it sooner. It may have survived had I gotten it out faster. I've set this video into the gecko and educational playlist so people can understand that there may be instances when cutting an egg open might mean the immediate safety of the life inside. I can really only think of instances like this where the baby had already started hatching that one might think of cutting an egg open.

The baby was out of Flint X Narillo and had been a normal yellow brown tiger with partial pin striping. Semi hatched today (with help) 5/2/2019-and died today during hatching 5/2/2019 Rest in peace little one.

Now they are flying. Sometimes if I couldn't catch them and put them in their sleeping places for the night, they would fly to the roof or the big spruce tree right next to us. Then in the morning they would come for food again.

Some things to take notice of. The detergent containers are empty and washed in the background. We use them for watering plants or holding sand for our various plant projects.

...and yeah we were in the middle of spring cleaning and other spring gardening activities which is why that room's floor was a bit- a lot- dusty.

The cat's name is Sol, named because we brought him home the day after the solar eclipse that shadowed the United States in August 2017. He was a friendly stray until we brought him home. He was taken care of by the vet and enjoys indoor life and lots of food. I'm training him with a harness and leash so that it's easier to get him to and from the vet as our cat carrier is now too small for him and we're saving up for a better one. He also knows a number of tricks like sit, stay, stand (up), high five, and is being point trained (where you point/tap a spot and he goes to it.) He's very intelligent and gets bored of his toys quickly.

The first feeding video for Jewel Juno Bacon our abbott's okeetee corn snake. Her nickname is Oakie.

Not sure when it was that I went to the expo. I remember it being my last semester at SUNY Cobleskill. Video 5 of 5. I eventually have to edit all of the 5 videos together once I can find a reliable video editing program that doesn't download unnecessary and or dangerous stuff to my laptop.

Butter X Abbott's okeetee 3/2/2015 #2

Butter het for stripe male crossed with an abbott's okeetee 50% possible het for amelanistic. Unfortunately this pairing only yielded a clutch of slugs.

Just an update video of how our young blood red corn snake is progressing.

She sits un-moving watching the dancing statues... :o

This guy has been named Mushu some time after the video was made. I have a bad habit of not washing my hands in between feeding each snake. Sometimes when I'm moving them back into enclosures or feeding tubs they decide that my fingers smell tasty and try their best to nom on me. It really doesn't hurt though. It's just a gut reaction for me to say ow when something is nibbling or scratching me.
