Video Summary
AI GeneratedA reptile importer unboxes a high-value shipment of animals from Indonesia, including rare pythons, monitors, and turtles. After navigating customs delays with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the importer hydrates the animals and moves them into specialized enclosures, highlighting the rarity of the species and the safety precautions required for handling dangerous predators.
Ryan, show us what you got in this box. Lots of goodies in here. We have no idea what's gonna be
under the box. Yeah, we gotta be careful putting our fingers in holes. Yeah, they're a big monitor.
And there's some bags, okay. Nice. Oh, you smell that? That's the imported aroma. That means they've
been sitting there for three days. That's the smell of money, son. I just don't want to get bit through
the bag. Let me tell you guys what's going on. So these animals have been sitting in the box for
about three days, maybe even four from Indonesia. So right now they're a little thirsty. So we're
gonna take everything out of these bags, and we're gonna soak them in fresh, clean water. We're
gonna leave them in there for about 30-45 minutes. Let them get hydrated before we put them into
their temporary enclosures. Good spring water. Good stuff right here. I'm taking off. This is
sealed and inspected. This is probably inspected by U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Yeah, so the shipment
came this morning, but we had to wait like, what, four hours for Fish and Wildlife to check through
it. So I get there. They're starting to do the inspection around 11. I'm like, all right, cool.
I'll be done by lunch. Two o'clock rolls around. I'm like, hey, what's going on? They're like, oh,
you don't actually, the original signings on the paper didn't come with the shipment. I'm like,
what do you mean? It always comes with the shipment. They're like, no, it didn't. So we
gotta figure out what we're gonna do with your box. I'm like, ah, so they're gonna take it.
And then two hours later, I'm like, hey, can we get this moving? They're like, yeah, actually,
we'll release it to you, but you can't sell anything. It has to stay in possession. If
anything dies, freeze it, because we're gonna take it back. I'm like, okay. Then the box gets
broker. They go, hey, the paper's right here. I don't know how they missed it. So they're like,
are you kidding me? We're going to have to have Donnie pull the body cam footage and see what
really went on. See what we're cooking with in here. So first things first, we have a little
tree, like I said, the tree monitor. I don't want this thing to shoot and launch out. You want the
gloves? I also don't want to get bit. We also have two crocodile monitors in here. And I was telling
Ryan what happens when Fish and Game opens the crocodile monitor bag. Do they get bit or what?
I don't love the condition it's in. So it's just going to take a little bit of TLC
to get this thing perfect to where I'd be comfortable selling this to a keeper. But you
can see we're going to need to get this thing hydrated and we're going to get it set up and
then fed. And it's going right to drinking. It looks like you can see he's taking a nice little
drink right there. All right. Now we're taking out some green tree pythons. It's kind of like,
kind of like Christmas, right? Two beautiful green trees right here. You got to be careful
because the teeth on these guys are insanely long. This is probably one of the big ticket
animals on this list, right? This is the biggest. It's Ryan's favorite. I don't know if I'm going
to sell it or if I'm going to keep them. Keep them, keep them. But if he does sell it, you
know where to find them. Look at that. That's a nine month old, almost a yearling Bolin's python.
I don't know if this is the male or the female, but there's a pair in here. Look at the head on
the head is so black. This is the girl. Okay. This is the female Bolin's python. I've never
actually seen one of these in person. Me either. I don't know if I'm going to sell it. This is a
$20,000 pair of snakes and I might just keep them. Yeah, keep them. You can breed them. Dude,
how cool are the Bolin's? Crazy. The craziest part is their lips, man. Now this is a holy grail
species for a lot of keepers and especially a lot of arboreal keepers like green tree guys,
carpet guys, they, they look at this like the top of their, their field from what I've gathered.
I mean, that is, I mean, essentially it's a highland scrub python. This thing is
sick. Do that laugh again. Do that laugh. Just like Santa Claus. This thing is, I don't know
if this is going anywhere. I might keep this too. I think it'd be an honor to get bit. Don't take my
Hello. Dude. Wow. Wow. That's a hell. That's like way crazier looking than the blue actually.
Okay, we're about to lose a monitor. Look at that. Dang. Cool. All right, I'm back on this
import. Black and yellow, black and yellow. Name him, uh, Wiz Khalifa. Look at this.
Baby green tree python. Um, it's like orange, so I don't know if it's just changing
because maybe of an age or what? Because it's like a warrant. Do you know what I mean? Like
when they go through the jack, this thing looks like a pit bull. Yeah. Let me see yours. Mine's
bigger than all. All these are going to turn green. Crazy. I wish they would stay this color.
Yeah, me too. There's some of the Canary Island yellows that stay this color. Um, but they're
just like a dark purple. Look at the tail on that thing, right? Look at the tail. These things are
dope. This one's got like a blue black tail. What are we looking at right here? All right,
so this is one of my favorite species of lizards in the world. This is a frill dragon. Now this
one's a little small, so I'm not don't know if I can get my finger behind there, but basically,
have you ever seen the movie Jurassic Park where the thing has a huge fan or frill on the side of
his neck and spits venom like a sick venom of that guy? This is kind of what they went off to
mimic it. But these guys have giant frills. These are Indonesian frill dragons. Then the other
species of them is Australian, which get larger. We're just gonna give these guys a little soak.
Don't don't drown your brother there. I like how they don't run. Oh, these things are so cool.
Honestly, they're small. So as they get older, they will start running, but we're gonna let
them soak a little bit. I'll get crickets for them tomorrow. Look at that. Look at that. That's
Take out the croc monitor next. Hey, that's all you buddy. This one's a lot healthier. Yeah.
Here, like show me the quaker. Like this, I think is a male. See how it has those two bulges.
So that one I think is like a male for sure. Good size. Absolute unit and check out these beautiful
baby fly river turtles. How cool is that? We got about 12 of these little guys in. You can see
they got those two fingernails on each side and they kind of look like a sea turtle and a pig
mixed together. Look how cute. And this one has some crazy coloring on its back to such an awesome
turtle. All right, guys. Now time for the dangerous part. Thankfully, Ryan has these where these hex
gloves. Yeah. Hex armor. Yeah. So venomous snake bite you. Hopefully a croc monitor bites you. You
won't get hurt. So you don't have a lot of mobility with these. And this is one of the bags that
actually opened. There's blood on the back. Take it out. Now. See, just let me give you a little
kiss. There you go. There's your croc monitor stone. What do you think of him? He's cool. He's
cool. He'd be nicer when he's not in my hands. There you go. I don't think he's gonna bite you.
I don't think so either. Just don't let them get back on their bare skin.
I know you monitor guys are gonna laugh at us for doing this. We're snake guys.
Sorry. Yeah. I'm just trying to be gentle and not get bit myself. Let's just let you out.
Keep it away. Keep it away. That is a croc. This is your monitor. I don't want it anymore.
Wow. These guys are kind of sketchy. A little bit of nose rub, but overall. Wow. Very pretty.
That's a beautiful one. This is, this is probably the female and she does not like the flash,
but we'll go ahead and put her in a nice soak and oh my God, look at those teeth.
When she's opening her mouth, you can see the teeth go through. I'm trying to be real careful
because these gloves are good, but if she launched over, she'd hit my bicep and I don't feel like I'm
in a hospital tonight. So people don't realize how long their teeth are. Google crocodile monitor
skull rating and you'll actually see. Good job, Brian. Yeah. All right guys, we're back here at
my house and this is the first monitor cage. This is going to be for the blue tree monitors.
If you come close, you can see this is one inch wire, so they won't be able to get through here.
We've got all kinds of logs. We have an automatic water dish and we also have a rain drip system.
So when I turn this on, you'll see this hose will fill up and then water comes all throughout the
hose. So these wild monitors are not used to drinking through a bowl, so they'll drink through
a rain system. So basically this hose will fill up, it'll drip water onto these logs and the
lizards will actually come up under the log and drink the water right off. Blue tree monitors,
I ended up picking the nicest bluest female and the largest bluest male as well. So I got the
cream of the crop. I got to choose between 12 blue tree monitors. Let's go ahead and get these guys
set up. And this, as you can see, this is a tiki hut, so there won't be really any direct sun
exposure. So that's really good for these blue trees, considering they're wild caught. If you
come over here, we got the top is all meshed off. We have this perch that goes all the way around,
a couple tubes for them to hide in, some on top and a couple on the bottom and all these branches
for them to relax on as well. Now these guys' claws are like fish hooks and I want you guys to
check out, look at the blues on the head, look at the blue feet, look at those gnarly claws.
This is the biggest blue tree monitor out of the bunch. Have a go at that tail.
These guys are no joke. This is the big male. You can tell he's a male from those two bulges
on either side. That's where his hemipenes reside. The females have just kind of a straight down look,
but these guys have two bulges right there. That's how we can tell that this is a male.
Now the croc monitors are way more dangerous. So when we unbox those,
we're literally going to set the tubs in, flip the lid off and let them be, let them go on their own
because I don't have those hex gloves. And if I get bit by a croc monitor, it's a big, big deal.
Once I heard a story of a guy getting bit by a croc monitor, a big one, probably about a nine
footer, bit him on all four fingers, all four fingers dropped and fell to the floor. That's
how sharp the teeth on a croc monitor are. Now there was a healthier, larger female,
but she had more of a turquoise blue. This girl is a little bit smaller and a little
bit on the skinny side, but she had the best blue out of all 12 blue tree monitors.
Look at the blues on her. Insane. So if you think you're going to come steal my stuff,
not going to happen. And I got a camera right over there. And this right here
is the crocodile monitor set up. Now you can see another tiki hut, same size cage.
This one is actually just a perfect size for them when they're adults, we'll move them into a bigger
setup. But if you come over here, Riley, another lip around the enclosure, some big, big branches
in here for them to lay on and an automatic water bowl. And we're going to add the rain setup as
well. You can see we've got led lights in this enclosure. So now these guys had a good 45 minute
soak. So these croc monitors are all hydrated up and ready to go. Now this female is a little on
the skinny side. The male is just perfect. They both have a little bit of nose rub, but that will
shed out as they get older. Now we're getting tore up by ants. Like I was saying, croc monitors are
just too dangerous to go in there and interact with. Even ones that are used to people and are
fed all the time and that are at zoos, sometimes just accidentally, they go ahead and nip people.
Check out that beautiful male and that beautiful female. I got her positioned to where she could
just walk right out on the branch and he can walk right out as well. So we're going to give them
enough time, see when they leave, and then pull these tabs.
