I handled my boa so often when she was a baby that now she just comes out of her terrarium and claims over my waist to absorb my heat. I think one of the things that made her so comfortable is that I just let her chill around with me without moving much just for her to see me more of a support
Something I've heard Kevin mention that makes a ton of sense to me is waiting until you see the snake calm down before putting them back/leaving. That way they don't think the defensive behaviour works. Awesome vid, glad to see ya back Jason!
I’m on here because I’m afraid of handling my new baby kingsnake, and this guy’s handling huge menacing snakes going for his face and talking calmly like Martha Stewart filming a cooking show 🤯
Someone put on muscle.
There's nothing wrong with the word aggressive, it's people's understanding of that word that's the problem. An aggressive response can be defensive, fearful, aggravated, food response, essentially a strike is an aggressive motion, a warning is not, that's the misconception, because the warning is actually an attempt at avoiding the conflict. The reason for the aggression is what people don't take into consideration, as soon as something becomes a threat, the english language goes out of the window. The stupid thing is that it only becomes a threat if we ignore the warnings.
got my first python two weeks ago. she’s very defensive but i’m so committed to working with her and getting her to be more socialized. this really helped a lot, probably the most informative video i’ve come across! ❤️
Its criminal how little you put out content, you should and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! Good to see you back bro👌
Jason, Man thank you!!! I have collected, kept and bred snakes off and on for 40 years, I'm embarrassed to say that I still am a little fearful/nervous about handling a snake that is defensive. I like the way you use the gloves and shirt to be able to handle the snakes. You have shown me there's no issue with doing whatever you need to to handle the animals. I think some people have such a fear of getting bit that even though they like snakes they just give up. It's ok to use what is necessary to handle your pet as both of you are learning to cope. I love your style of teaching, You are our hero!!!!!!!!!!! Be cool!!!!
I lucked out with my boa. She has never bit not once in 15 years and I'm glad because she hit 10ft. I pet her head and she just chills
People who are affraid to get bit. Have to raise it from a baby since unfortunately, they need to get bit. when its smaller dosent hurt at all, its like being rubbed with velcro. As the snake gets older you tend to not fear it anymore and your less likely to get bit. Due to the owner and the pet eventually getting use to eachother... (exposure therapy) i use to be terified of snakes now i own 3.
The last thing you said about not shaming people using protective gear is much appreciated 🙏 when I handle my friends big reticulated, no matter how docile it is, I always wear a clear face guard. I'm legally blind and only have some vision in one of my eyes. I'm not taking any chances of a bite to the face taking that from me lol my friend doesn't make fun of me but plenty of people who saw pictures of it talked shi* lol someone said I shouldn't even be having snakes if I can't see well 🙄
You are so excellent at explaining this stuff.
Another way of thinking of it: You're building *mutual confidence*. You're conditioning both parties out of their fear response with consistent, positive experience, or trying to, at least. If you weight it out, however, the animal thinks its life is in danger whereas the keeper is worried about having their hand become a pin-cushion.
That’s great advice with the gloves it’s like if you punch someone every time you hit them it did absolutely nothing to them eventually you would be like why bother hitting them
LOL! When he said “I don’t have the camara on me because you don’t want to see me and I need to focus on the snake” I said Fair enough. Fast forward to the 9 minute mark and Holly shit.. maybe we should keep the camara on him all the time 😏😏
I can't say thank you enough for making a video like this, I lost confidence awhile back from getting bit & haven't been able to get it back, I still have my two snakes but I don't interact with them except to clean their habitats, your video has given me motivation to start building that confidence back!
I have been scrutinizing your video here and This is a beautiful contribution to the snake keeping world. Very solid explanations and very encouraging to the new keepers.
A snake hook has been the best decision I’ve ever made, makes me so much more comfortable
Lmfao I love the intro... "How do I handle the aggressive/defensive snake that wants to kill me..." Omg I really needed that 😂!
I’m an absolute novice with a single BI, completely smitten with her and greatly appreciative of content like this and your other videos.
