Yeah. Have 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: you ever seen a hamster try to walk through a 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: maze before? Yeah? Maybe you put its favorite food at 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: the end of the maze and they sniff their way 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: through the maze. Have you ever been inside of a 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: maze where you can actually walk around? Whoa like a 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: corn maze?

Owen was building this amazing course that's maze 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: for their hamster. But meanwhile across the room, inside of 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: another enclosure, were two lizards that had been planning for 30 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: weeks their attempt to go on a real advance sure 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: outside of their enclosure. 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 4: Hey, you you keep an eye on over there, because 33 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: I think it's almost time for when Owen changes are water. 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 5: Or less on a little ruttle.

As 50 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: Owen opened up the top lid, he grabbed the water 51 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: bowl and walked over to the bathroom to fill it 52 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: up with some new, fresh, clean water. There's our chance, 53 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: the star All right, I'm I'm at the top here, 54 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: grab my tail, I'll pull you up. As the first 55 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: lizard was sitting on the edge, he draped his tail 56 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: down kind of like a rope for the other lizard 57 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: to grab onto and pull himself up, but it was 58 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: a little hard for him to hold onto the tail. 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: And then Owen came back from the bathroom. 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: Bernard, there's a run for it. 61 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Go with thermal. The second lizard let go of his 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: friend's tail, which sent him flying back into the enclosure 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: and the other lizard flying out of the enclosure. 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 5: Oh help, oh, oh where am i? 65 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: As Owen brought the water bowl back into the enclosure 66 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: and closed the lid, we now had the two lizards 67 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: separated from each other. 68 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Dun, dun, dun. 69 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: As the lizard picked himself up off the ground after 70 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: that very big jump from his enclosure. He looked around. 71 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: Wow, looks like I'm in a different world. 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 4: These walls are so tall, and how do I get 73 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: out of here? 74 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: As he started walking around, he got very lost.
