[Music]  what is going on guys  I'm Tyler Nolan welcome to the show  [Music]  [Music]  so today I got some new look I got a new  setup I'm not showing you the whole  snake room yet that's gonna be its own  the video okay for now I'm still working  on this cage I'm still working on this  wall of cages right here this is on the  south side of my room as you can see I  stacked up these vision cages a little  bit better I got two new cages over from  Tom he gave me a couple of these other  these are these are model two two one  from vision like I said in the video  before everybody always asks the cages  that I use I have a couple other cages  from one of my buddies that he made out  of PVC which are dope but honestly dude  nothing beats these Division cages these  cages are built to last like some of  these two footers even a couple of these  three footers over here I've had some of  these cages for like 15 20 years since I  was kid working underground that's where  I got they last forever made out of PVC  plastic some something or other they're  awesome  vented in the back you just drill all my  cages you see what I did here I just  drill a little heat light fixtures  inside of them put put thermostats but I  use zoom ed thermostats on all my cages

just throw a thermostat on there and  make sure they don't get too hot if you  just get too hot it shuts off the  electricity they're awesome  can't beat it so I'm waiting on I  ordered more from vision I'll put the  link at the description below belly you  can check out their site they got fat  ass cages they sell racks they sell  tools they sell water bowls they even  sell the extra glass if you if you break  the panes which I've done a couple times  like this one right here is broken it's  been broken for us to wear guys I've had  this thing broken for like this stuff  tapes been on there for 10 years  so I ordered new glass everything is  getting all freshened up I ordered a  couple more of these cages I'm gonna get  rid of it I built this little bottom  part for the wall but I'm honestly I'm  gonna get rid of it I'm gonna put it I'm  gonna put it on the floor so it's right  here then I'm gonna stack some more  cages because all my baby stuff is  getting bigger and I have some new baby  Cobras on the way in the next hopefully  in the next week or two I'll be getting  them I'm not gonna tell you what they  are and I'm really really excited  they're super rare cobras there's only a  few people in the United States that  even have them and I'm gonna be one of  them so stay tuned for that I'm really  stoked I've got a couple got a couple  really like cobras that I've wanted my  whole life  I just you know as a kid you not able to  afford them but now they're doing pretty  good so today let's move some little  baby snakes around that's the hole  that's the whole point of this video I'm  upgrading all my little snakes so as you  guys know I keep a lot of my babies in  these tubs at first so this is the  safest way to keep a baby for the most  part there's yes there's other things  that you can keep baby snakes in but  this is my favorite I like using  Tupperware containers like this they're

sealed they're really hard to open  there's like a drill tiny holes around  them okay much better  there's escape route I know that this  animal is not getting out here they were  little when I got them now they're  getting a little bit bigger but it's  time for these big puff adders to get  new cages I didn't have a couple baby  rattlesnakes that are also getting new  cages today so let's let's do this real  quick  so these puff adders what I'm gonna do  is I'm going to set up this cage today  for them I have to baby puffs I'm gonna  put them in here together puff adders a  lot of snakes I don't really like  keeping together because it's really  hard to feed them together so with  Cobras like if I were to keep my  monocles together I do  keep them together when I go to feed  them it's very hard because one co girl  grab the rat the other Cobra smells that  Cobra they're very aggressive eaters  they're very active they fly all over  the place they'll fight the scene rat  they'll kill they fight over food  essentially puff adders the boon Vipers  eyelash Vipers mousse of my viper de  animals they stay in one spot grab their  food and eat it right there okay so  they're a lot easier to feed together  because say I have 1 plus matter over  here as long as they're apart from each  other inside of the cage  I can individually feed them and they'll  be fine same thing with the gila  monsters the gila monsters i have  together  yes the big gila monster will try to go  grab the other dealer monsters food item  but if they're apart from each other in  the cages i can easily wash them and  just regulate make sure he eats her she  eats her food safely  he's his food safely everybody gets  along so with that said let's move these  guys into the kitchen these guys out so

these are Tanzanian puff adders it's the  East African puff adder I got these from  Marc McCarthy they're beautiful  especially this one right here now be  very careful when you come close to this  little creature because it is these are  strikers beautiful little guys they're  crazy strikers I'm surprised he hasn't  struck at me yet really bad venom - bad  bad bad bad bad you do not want to get  tagged by a little puff this is honestly  one of the things in my room that I  definitely do not ever take any chances  with because they are just fast little  explosive Springs like that now I've  done a couple feeding videos of them  where you won't even see them underneath  the substrate you just see that  for their head and they just pop right  out of the they pop right out and grab  that prey item swallow it whole sick  like this is a crazy little snake the  first puff adder I ever had I was 18  years old when I got it  he kept it at underground when I was  working there as a kid and then when I  was finally 18 I was able to take him  home his name was murderface he was one  of my favorite things i've ever had and  then walk long long long time ago  something happened and he's no longer  with us but dude this is beautiful it's  little snake is pump back typical you  hear him huffing and puffing being crazy  like that always on edge sick little  stings are so bad so fast that it was  crazy fast bro like I will never ever I  saw my buddy Seth on Instagram know the

wild Hanbury if you guys ain't following  him Seth awesome  Seth posted a picture the other day he  has a little baby Tanzanian puffs  holding it in his hand like this baby  puffs out her yo I'm good on that you  won't ever see me doing that they can't  be nice but this one is definitely not  nice at all he's a little you're for  sure put you in your new cage now you  can see you can see inside the cage  there's really not a whole lot for him  to hide inside of there  I've kept hide boxes with them before  they don't really care too much about a  hide box  I just keep some to keep some plant keep  some plants in there for him  alright so even better spero hi box I'm  gonna give them this little piece of  cocoa bark bruise your head up just  gotta gotta keep track of these other  guys they're fast and they're really  hard to see especially keeping him in  this Aspen like this that's why I like  to keep them in this it's just awesome  for just contrast the way the colors of  them camouflage very well  that's pretty cool all right so let me  grab the other puff adder show you what  he looks like he's a little on the  darker side all right so this is the  other one  now these came from the same clutch so  same mother same pair also tanzanian but  check out the colors on this so now this  one instead of having those light tan  color see this one's very hard to hook  the other ones stayed on the hook pretty  well this one's not going very well  so this one you can see has more of a  and be very careful has more of like a  there's like almost a peach coloring on  him see you could tell actually no this  is a little female see how little that

tail is check this out see how tiny that  little tail is right there the Chloe  goes right there that's the tail very  tiny little tail female I didn't mean it  check the other guy let's see this just  side by side maybe this one's a female I  honestly don't remember okay so this one  check it out so this one right here you  see the cloaca right here see how it has  a longer more slender tail that is a  male so I didn't even know I had a pair  or maybe I did before I just forgot but  still yeah but the male it's crazy see  how much better temper'd this female is  she's chill she hasn't even really  struck at me but this little male little  firecracker you're crazy dude go in your  cage oh yeah this little female hasn't  even struck at me  which is pretty cool so maybe I'm not  even gonna maybe I could let me see let  me push my luck here real quick alright  so this little guy yeah way darker a  little bit better temperament this one's  not trying to not trying to do anything  crazy  look I could tail it like this I would  never be able to do that with that male  that's a great little shot right there  these guys don't even have names  maybe we can name them there's a male  and female puff adders see what you guys  come up with let's put you in your cage  would you relax bro put your girlfriend  in here man these guys are obviously way  too little to even breed they can easily  live together just fine yeah they look

great together guys doing good got the  cage all done got the labels on there  looking good all right thing but booms  throw the walk on this thing oh good  another thing people ask I'll put the  link down below also these locks their  showcase locks I get on Amazon they're  like seven dollars each or ten dollars  something like that inexpensive it  worked great they all have the same key  because before I had all these crazy  locks at different locks over here  different locks over here I had my keys  color-coded with the locks I had a match  the color with the thing pants dard all  my old locks got these new showcase  locks they all have the same key super  freakin easy that's the puffers all  right so now we're gonna give my little  Eastern so this is a normal Eastern  Diamondback that I have is Fattah sad  mantis I bought him or I didn't buy him  I was given him by je and a good friend  of mine owns the jungle Drago for a  bunch of my stuff also my two main  places or underground reptiles in  jungle keep in mind further myself Lord  of people to best places you can go to  so this little guy I got from the Jay  he was confiscated by somebody and he  wasn't doing very well so Jay gave him  to me because he was about to die I  think was a different no no I I was  trying to feed it to my indigo stink  because indigo snakes eat  Eastern's in the wild so I was doing a  video about indigo see the Easterns  obviously that all failed I ended up  feeding it to one of my cobras instead  but anyways long story short I saved  this guy I don't think he has a name  either reasoning because it's like my  seat he's in he's in shed right now

you see the blue on his eyes sees in  blue phase right now  so when snakes are regenerating their  skin they go through a few phases so  when they first start to shed their skin  gets very on the lighter colored side  their eyes get cloudy like they are  right now you see there in the blue and  then it may be like a day or two  his eyes are gonna be completely clear  again like nothing ever happens and then  a couple days after that is when they're  gonna actually shed their skin so  there's a couple little processes with  shedding I don't want to mess with this  guy very much I don't want to irritate  him on agitate him he's in shed he's a  great manner and snake my other my other  albino Easterns are psychopaths they  won't be they would be trying to kill me  right now if I had him out but this guy  is not Oh  of course as I say that he jumps off the  table at Kayla China trying to test us  here dude I just told you I was just  telling everybody how good of a snake  you are and now you gotta be a jerk it's  cuz he's in shed normally when he's not  in shed he's not that bad but now he's  being a little bit of a he's just  irritable he can't see very well right  now all he sees is shadows so he's very  scared of everything so I'm just gonna  turn this light on in the cage I'm gonna  try to safely double hook him double  hooking it's definitely the best way to  move a crazy little rattlesnake like  this okay that way you can support both  of his you just support both ends of his  body nicely see he that has no idea

what's going on he's so this vision is  so skewed so just like that no I'm gonna  safely this cage like I said before this  cage is that venomous in it for 10 years  and it's had this duct tape on it I'm  totally fine there's a piece of glass  underneath there  I ordered new pieces from vision they  will be here shortly and then everything  gets new gloss all right so that's the  Eastern got one more little rattlesnake  to go this one is also an awesome little  rattlesnake one of my favorites so this  is a Central American rattlesnake very  cool this little guy got for a Marc  McCarthy also and this one is actually  partially striped so instead of having  saddles like Easterns have this one has  a stripe going down the middle of it  which is pretty cool  alright so before I take this little guy  out I'm gonna give him a little high  bottoms turn on his weight like that  give them some water  mm water bowl always on the other side  of the heat light okay some of my cages  like the swan cage which I'm gonna get  more Squam soon and do a whole Squam set  up I'm redoing the both of these cages  my eyelash Viper the yellow one is gonna  get a bioactive set up very shortly with  these cages I have 25 watt bulbs in them  and I like to keep the heat light on top  of their water bowls reason being is  they need higher humidity than a bunch  of my other snakes so having the heat  light over in the over top of their  water bowl more evaporation more  humidity works great these cages not the

case I do not want it very humid in  these kind of humid I keep the humidity  5060 percent in these guys not 80 like  these guys 50 watt bulbs water bowl on  the other side of the heat so that way  it's not a super humid tank  even though Eastern and Central  Americans need it on a little they like  they like it a little bit of human  obviously Easterns are down here  Florida's pretty humid so we try to  replicate that he is very cool yeah  these guys are just they have very cool  patterns they're like this see that that  straight right down it look at that  straight yes straight that goes all the  way down his body he's got like a couple  little saddles saddle saddle saddle  one two three four little saddles and  then the rest is a stripe now this guy's  a little baby  you can see his rattle is still really  small this guy's maybe chez Tom even  though maybe months old something like  that little tiny guy  very cool little owl snakes with all  that white on them super cool give you a  new cage man look at that everybody's  getting pimped out today great  some put these guys in there I'm gonna  let them get acclimated for a couple  days let this guy out feed  everybody I got a new order actually  ordered a shipment of rats and fuzzies  and all that good stuff like three bags  of chicks all that stuff would be here  Wednesday and then hopefully the vision  cages they'll be here soon too  and then I'm gonna show you the rest of

the snake room because the the indigo  snake he's getting upgraded he's going  into a 4-foot vision a couple of these  other snakes are getting moved around I  got more I got right behind you I got  some new cages I'm getting some new  three footers over here this whole snake  room is getting completely redone  getting rid of all the babies in these  Tupperware containers so everything is  gonna have a nice big cage now and then  I'm just gonna wait for to get my other  my new baby cobras and then everything  everything grows so all my smaller  snakes I have to do I have to upgrade  soon even the next upgrade move is gonna  be upgrading my house because all the  Aldabra 's and water monitors and all  the other things everything is growing  up needs more space so I gotta save all  my pennies get a bigger place soon hope  you guys enjoyed the video hope you guys  like the new cages this new setup is  gonna be sick waiting on new glass for  these guys I'm holding on holding on to  I'm just looking around hopefully I can  find a female wagner's viper eventually  for one of these visions the other  vision I probably want to put a Maine  Shannon have been looking for a baby  Maine chamfer forever  I just talked to my buddy Paul Miller  about that the other day hopefully we  find one this year  Delta opens up everything everything  close right now so it's really hard to  find anything  stay tuned make sure you subscribe  turn on your notifications so you don't  miss any of my videos thanks for being  awesome OOP you guys are almost done  with this quarantine I know we're gonna  be open up really soon everything at  Palm Beach County opened up today  and I think my shop opens up next week  so stay tuned  go click down below this video I got  sunshine state tattoo shirts down there  and working on more merch right now I'm  just been really busy and it's a pain in  the ass honestly I do this all myself  so later guys till next time  [Music]  [Music]
