this is not the wild this is captivity
this is a threatened species in the wild
I wonder how I don't want them to take
people to have people take them out a
wild for any reason so why not just let
this female do what she actually wants
to do have her babies and I wanted her
to be successful so what we're going to
do today is we're going to put them in
an incubator and so the incubator is a
nice stable place for an egg to be it
doesn't have insects most the time it
doesn't have anything but the right
temperatures and the right possibility
now the female won't be excited about it
because deep down inside her genetics
she's still thinking this is my kids I
got to protect them the good news is I
save her a lot of effort too because she
has to protect them for three months no
food they don't have they all they have
to do is basically be stuck on the eggs
and nervous the whole time that
something's going to come and take them
because these snakes are long-term in
captivity they're jus multi generations
that have they're not so aggressive all
the time so I'm not sure what this one
is because she has a couple sisters that
look just like her and water is a bear
and the rest of them are pretty good so
we're gonna find out right now and so
here we go come on are you gonna be one
of those crazy ones oh so now she's on
like what are you gonna do I'm used to
you but I'm not used to you taking my
eggs so this this would be the one I'm
still curious curious are you come to
camp you help me do this or you're the
one who would never get a million yeah
tagging a friend that would come to help
you and tag the friend that would never
set foot near here okay so here we go
come on girl come on so now the idea is
a loner to get a little bit of a nervous
and I want to call it down now this is
not her first year this is not her first
clutch of eggs so she's laid many many
eggs this is about her eighth year and
then like the wild she has problems
she's had a lot of offspring of all
different colors all different kinds
this will be the first year that she
will produce a certain color face
because she has a special gene called
genetics paper there come on girl
yep this is not the nice one this is
that this is the one sister that I was
worried that it could be but I'm gonna
put and make it look like she's not that
bad the idea is I'm gonna just let her
[Music]
now this is where it gets a little weird
because if they don't have a target they
don't normally bite but my elbow is kind
of a target at times and so the idea is
now I just want to get her off her eggs
because python eggs can't roll around so
because of that they're genetically made
or whatever you want to call it they all
stick together and fertile eggs don't
stick which is pretty crazy because they
come out of the same place they have the
same thing I don't I don't know why they
don't stick but they don't look yeah
that's what we don't want
okay there we go
I'm gonna get lucky I thank you guys and
she's gonna get lucky too because all of
her babies are gonna go be able to
survive the majority of them now she's
off on her way now here's the cool part
instead of not eating for three months
she'll actually be able to be careful
see Amash nobody gets bit today okay so
there's her eggs
that's a fertile egg now the eggs have
to stay in upright position
you call your campers can come right
back up here you can actually touch an
egg so these bees have to stay in an
upright position because while the eggs
are doing
incubated there's a baby comes up that
baby actually blows to the top so the
baby so even though this egg is kind of
pointing up in the air now I'm gonna
have to put this egg upward in the air
like that here we go so the question is
you guys have a guest from how many eggs
are on this clutch I always love to know
that go ahead how many 16 16 okay what
about you guys out there 25 guys should
know that mom well I totally normal in a
few days be able to joke back on food
and everything will be great
