[ Upbeat banjo music playing ]
No, Grandpa!
[ Banjo strums ] Banjos aren't cool.
And no, you can't talk us into going to Banjo Town!
[ Banjo strumming gloomily ] I'd rather go to a farm full of snakes
than go to -- [ Tires squeal ]
Maybe it won't be that bad.
[ Gasps ] Oh, gross!
It's just a little baby snake. Aah!
[ Whimpers ] You're afraid of snakes, too!
Gwendolyn, please. I'm afraid of squids.
And you might think tentacles
are the same basic size and shape as snakes,
but snakes, uh, aren't connected to a body or anything.
They're just like tentacles that are off on there own,
but still alive.
And still, wriggling!
Aah! Get it off me! Get it off!
Maybe if we run we can still catch Grandpa!
Aah! We are not going to Banjo Town.
How did you get out here, little guy?!
[ Hissing ]
Uh, hello? Oh, hi!
I didn't see you there.
Got distracted by my little buddy here.
What are you doing out here, Mortimer,
you little scamp?!
I'm Dr. Mary Jo Fourfeathers, herpetologist.
You two must be here to volunteer at the ranch.
I think we're just gonna hang out here.
That's not what your grandpa said on the phone.
He called you?!
Can't just drop kids here and drive off.
Now let's get you started.
Can't be any worse than Banjo Town, I guess.
And here is the crown jewel of Repto-Ranch -- our new solarium!
Wow, cool, a big dome.
I control the temperature for our cold-blooded buddies in here
with a state-of-the-art sun lamp system!
I designed it myself.
Light system, huh?!
Time for a rave!
Unz, unz, unz, unz, unz, unz!
We've got to be careful with these lights.
Changing the heat too much can make the reptile agitated.
Now, come on!
Time to teach you how to clean the cages in the Repto-Lab!
Aw, man!
Still better than Banjo Town.
King Koil: Brothers, sisters, aid me.
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Both scream, grunt ]
It's just a friendly ball python, he can't hurt you.
You two just need more contact with snakes.
Scary things usually aren't that scary
once you get to know them better.
Say, I have an idea.
♪ They need ultraviolet light to see ♪
♪ And to get their vitamin D ♪
♪ These little guys have a vitamin deficiency ♪
♪ This should be familiar to you ♪
♪ Pythons get blisters, too ♪
♪ Put a little ointment on, that's all you have to do ♪
This is all so, so interesting,
but does it have to be a musical?
Maybe if you read a book,
she wouldn't have to sing facts at you.

♪ Reptiles are your friends ♪
♪ You won't have to pretend ♪
♪ Once you get to know them ♪
♪ You'll love them 'til the end ♪
[ Banjos playing ]
Uh, what's that snake doing?!
♪ Now, there's nothing wrong with him ♪
♪ He's just shedding his skin ♪
Ohhh, no, no, no, no, no, no! Nope! Gross!
He's just molting.
It's a common process for many types of reptiles.
That is maybe the second-grossest thing
I've ever seen,
right behind Ben's bunk.
Then you need more snake facts!
Double time!
♪ They split their chins to swallow their food ♪
♪ They use their tongues to smell you ♪
♪ Their eggs are soft and leathery ♪
♪ They are not furred or feathery ♪
♪ Some breathe through their skin ♪
♪ Some have powerful venom ♪
♪ Burrowing snakes' eyes are weak ♪
♪ But they can sense your body heat ♪
[ Hissing ]
Still not that into it?
[ Whimpers ] I'm sure there's some way
to demonstrate the majesty of snakes.
I'll think on it while we feed the Komodo dragons. [ Crunch ]
What in the world is this?!
Uh, extra large snakeskin?
Nasty! Why would you touch it?!
Nastier! Strange.
[ Screams ] I've never seen a shedding fragment this large.
[ Screaming ] What could have even made something this size?
The biggest snake in the world is the green anaconda,
but we don't have anything nearly that size
here at the ranch.
[ Screams, grunts ]
I'm going to go check this in the lab.
You sweethearts can go feed the Komodo dragons while I'm gone.
Ah!
This I can do!
Meat! Meat! Meat!
Yeah, anything that doesn't involve -- s-snakes!
Gah! What do we do?!
Mary Jo said we shouldn't hurt them, right?!
We need help! Three steps ahead of you!
Step one! Super-smart Grey Matter!
♪♪
Step two, analyze!
Well, what's step three?!
I realize I should not have turned into Grey Matter,
as I am now bite-sized!
Ah!
[ Grunting, whimpering ]
[ Hissing ]
What reptile are you?
Ben! Who -- What is that?!
You and girl ruin my plan.
Though I know I should accept you rationally,
you are really freaking me out!
I am King!
Gills?! Filthy water-breather!
Uh! Aah! [ Groans ]
Human?! Only one human must be here!
I make you leave!
[ Hissing ]
You pay price for interfering!
[ Gasps ] The snakes! They're agitated!
What are you?!
I am King!
You... you are incredible!
Huh? W-What?
Your scales!
This tongue! What's your diet like?
You're a burrowing creature, right?!
I move below the ground.
Of course, you do! And look at this tail!
This must be the source of that skin fragment!
Are you about to shed? Can I watch?!
Kids, look! Oh, right, the snakes!
Sorry! I think if I just dim the sun lamp,
they'll cool down and calm down.
Do not take the sun!
Sir! This is sensitive scientific equipment!
I explain. You help broken snake.
I am partial to the reptiles!
Yes, best --- better than mammal!
World belongs to reptiles!
I turn up sun lamp, get strong!
Be king of world!
And you -- queen!
[ Gasps ] Banjos sounding better now.
Rule new world with me, give heat device.
He wants to turn her into a snake queen?!
Five bucks says she goes for it.
Oh, that's... completely bonkers.
I'm a scientist, not a queen!
I want to help reptiles, not rule them!
You -- you not see!
I can show. Give the remote!
Okay, I've had just about enough of this "snake charmer."
You can't stop me, shape shifter! No!
Do they have the word "no" underground, buddy?!
Uh, where'd he go?
My remote!
I show you!
I show all!
Yes! New!
I think I'm tasting my lunch!
See now, Queen?
New! More powerful!
King Koil!
[ Grunts ]
Come and -- oh! Get me?
Where'd he -- You not defeat me now!
-[ Screams ] -Take she,
make future for all cold bloods!
You have hair? Reptiles are hairless!
I should be mad at you, but I'm just so fascinated!
[ Grunting ]
Mortimer! No! My snakes are going to get hurt!
Sacrifice good of all!
Gwen! Get the snakes to safety!
The snakes?! Safety?! Gwen?!
I know you're scared,
but think of how frightened and confused they are!
[ Sighs ]
Hey, you're not so bad, are you?
You asked for it, leather face!
[ Whoosh! ]
Ben, be carful. He has Mary Jo!
It's okay, I have great aim!
[ Grunts ] Ow.
Weak surface walker.
Friends! Eat!
Be careful! Alligators can run 20 miles-per-hour on land!
Alligators?
[ Screaming ]
How does a human man beat a snake man?

[ Gasps ] He's a burrowing snake!
He senses heat!
King needs Queen. All will serve!
[ Yelps ]
What? Where?!
You can float? How?
Diamondhead: You're a burrowing snake,
and that means you rely on your heat vision.
So a guy made of cool, cool crystal
would be pretty much invisible to you, right?
Guess those big, beautiful eyes of yours aren't all that great!
I still hear you!
[ Grunts ] What I hear, I hit!
But I just can't stop making hilarious jokes!
Mary Jo, planet could have been yours and mine.
I come back for you.
Yeah, you'd better have some new tricks by then!
Ben: Oh. I guess this isn't so bad.
You see how his tongue is moving?
He's getting to know you. Yep, that's enough.
[ Laughs ] It tickles!
Can I keep one?
No, they need to stay here. This is their home.
Aww, too bad. Yep! Too bad.
Oh! I think your grandpa is back.
[ Banjo playing ] Ugh, Grandpa.
Bye, Mary Jo!
Good luck with the critters!
Thank you!
How's that shed going, Mortimer?
Do you think I would have made a good Queen of the Snakes?
[ Laughs ]
Don't worry, buddy. I'm not going anywhere.
