Watching these and studying how David watches behavior and is in sink and respectful with the snake. Its very interesting and you can learn alot about the snake. Each one has a different temperment and nature. Like fingerprints.
When you understand the basic modes of animals (of which there's only 4 or 5) you can read body language to determine which mode an animal is in, as long as the animal is in thinking mode interacting can be done safely regardless of whether it's a viper or a Great White Shark.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr you really believe that crap... you can not always read a snake. They have a brain they think for themselves you can never truly know what a snake will do. Reading body language is all well in good but its in No Way 100% its not even close. It only take one time. Why dont you ask a real professional. Who had the training and education in the herping world. Instead of believe to young guys on TH-cam. Who are not professionally trained or have any degree in this type of work. They are on TH-cam for views not pro's. These guy may have a big set of balls but theyre 2 dumb bells when it comes to handling snakes. They think they can read and a snake 100% of the time lol... I just watch him on another video get bitten. Luckily it was non venomous snake. I guess he read that snake wrong... FYI all free hand snake handlers say the same things as these guys. Maybe you should look up how many are dead or gotten bitten... The best of the best have died thru out history. If these guys dont chance the way they handle these dangerous snakes they will get bitten at some point. Its not if they get bitten its when. Look, Im not trying to be a ass. Im just letting you know the truth and ask you to Please do not copy these guys it will get you bitten or worse killed. If you like working with snakes go to real herp lab somewhere there are professionals Trained and License learn how to really interact with these animals safely free handing like these guys is not worth dying for. When I was young I had a herp lab where they milked snakes down the road from me that I would hang out at. you can learn a lot from those type of snake people....
@@UnKnown-zy1km You're absolutely clueless, go to Thailand and check out the snake farms where they hang out in pits with 100s of cobras in them putting on shows. Or check out fake snake charmers from India, those guys work solely on the snakes body language as do many other professionals.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr and a lot of them end up dead from being envenomated. Just because some people exist that have not yet been bitten doesn’t mean it’s safe to do.

Free handling deadly venomous snakes is irresponsible any way you look at it.

Great to catch up with Chris' collection of snakes, they are awesome.

David, you really are a natural at working with these creatures. So glad to see more regular videos. Thank you to all, take care, Vox.
I understand having a passion. I love reptiles too. I also understand if you're down to take risks. Live your life. But what I don't understand is the thought process of recording this video and deciding to upload it. Young herpers will probably watch this, and you aren't being safe. You're in an excellent position to be an educator and role model, but you're misusing it.
Quite, and not explaining why, despite lots of practice and feel for why a snake might bite, it's always risking your life... that shit is goddamn irresponsible. This isn't skydiving, it's jumping out of a plane with a buddy wearing/holding an extra parachute and trying to catch/put it on before you hit the ground.
So them snakes are venomous right like that 1 snake that went right by his face I think it was a Cobra if that would have bit him he would have been taken to the hospital correct
14:32 WOW! Your confidence with these serpents are unbelievable. That blue snake is just remarkable and probably my favorite. A very impressive and beautiful collection, thanks for sharing!
i just had a clutch of green and blue.. my 2nd clutch.. i also have yellow. looking for red now. impossible to find. im in north carolina. facebook Jason Watkins raleigh north carolina

I feel like he gets off on the comments that scold him for being as careless as he is. And believe me hes careless. I get he is good at reading snakes. But all snakes can have unpredictable moments. Wont be long he will find out! Again hes prob touching himself reading this 😆 good luck bud
Animals are not unpredictable, just like we understand the personality of individual people on a per person basis animals are the same and even more simple because they only have a few modes that are very defined by body language. Defensive, Sleeping, Feeding, Breeding and Thinking are the only modes (99% of) animals have and the majority of animals are locked to this due to lacking a Neocortex (Humans, Dolphins and a very few other species are exceptions) which is responsible for complex processing.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr No animal is predictable. Especially something like a snake. It may even be captive bred. And held since it was a little worm. That snake is still a wild animal and unpredictable. And could feel threatened and strike out at any time. Anyone who believes they can 100% predict a animals next move. They are naive. And lying to themselves. Now ill get off my soapbox.
@@NoobMaster-fi2ho Go learn about how a brain works and what sets humans apart from other species, if you understood even the most basic functions of a brain you would understand how stupid you sound......
NO no no no no NO!! It’s only a matter of time before you get tagged my friend. Hopefully you have a protocol firmly in place when it eventually happens.
outdoorsy? I notice his photographer is tring to reel him in a little bit. Keeps telling him, "ok, let's put him back before we get bit". Noone ever has done that before, at least on the vids I have watched. This dude is kinda crazy. I hope his bite doesn't kill him. I watched a guy with a channel called Da real beast master, he would take his Gabino viper, and Gaboon viper and give em baths and carry then around his neck for 45 mins at a time. He Loved to show off, all of sudden, he hasn't put video out in 11months. Hope not but I'm sure he got bit!
So, another bite could very likely bring on anaphylaxis and a very quick death. Some years back a young person was bitten a second time by his captive copperhead (contortrix) and died in 20 minutes.
@@cousinmike245 pretty sure hes been bitten multiple time's but I'm not sure. And yes that is very possible, but the reverse is also possible. People can build an immunity to snake venom (but it typically takes multiple years with a small non leathal dose) but yes he could be allergic (not only to the venom but also the anti venom)
I applaud young people who demonstrate that these animals are not viscous, just toxic. They handle the snakes with respect, and speak about respect. With each generation we advance as humans. Young persons now climb without ropes in hours, that which which formerly took many days. They ride bigger waves, and ski down steeper slopes. Not as a dare, but with advanced skill, without hubris.
Awesome video. That's a big blue insularis. Have u ever watched viperkeeper he's also got a really big one. Can't wait until the next one already looking forward to it.
He's no where near as hands on as you but he's a good keeper. He's a older guy that definitely knows his snakes. He's definitely wroth a look if u have time.
After reading alot of these comments. If you look at alot of reptile guys they are missing somthing or have a story to tell dealing with venomous snakes. And all of them...not just a couple all of them use hooks with little free handling. I do think there is a level you can reach to do it "safely". And these young men showed alot of knowledge on handling. They didnt keep the snakes out longer than they wanted to be, they let the snakes do what they wanted to stay comfortable and they watched for changes in mood......and lets be real for a min....when they said gaboon viper i was like oh please pick that thing up. But they know their limits and said yeeeaaa thats probly best not to do that. In summery eventually they will chill with the free handling when they get married have kids and have their lives changed. We have all done some stupid things when we were younger, i caught a copperhead when i was 10 thinking it was a watersnake, struck at me tons of times but by grace of god i never got hit by it. My old man flipped out when i brought it inside the house and he said oh my god thats a copperhead and i dropped it in the floor 😂. Learn as you go i guess. But keep up the good work be safe and remember you dont have to test fate every time you open an enclosure.
I really hope you have a safety protocol in place, because eventually they're going to strike and you're going to end up regretting the decision of being so careless with unpredictable venomous snakes. 🙄
He is a child and an amateur snake handler who loves showing off. I’ve seen couple of his videos and in all of them he free handles them, I’ve seen countless close calls. If he continues to be so careless it’s going to end up baaad I just pray I’m wrong
I agree. . I realize he has a strong love for his snakes but handling these is just dumb. It’s just not smart . Don’t get me wrong I love his videos he has such beautiful reptiles but playing with a loaded weapon eventually your goin to get shot . Stay safe brother is about all I can say
Jennifer animals only have 4 or 5 basic modes they live in that dictates their behavior, there's sleeping, defensive, feeding, breeding and thinking mode. All animals have observable behaviors associated with each mode and understanding the body language is all any one needs to interact with ANY animal. I've rescued pitbulls on death row because they've been branded "dangerous" for over 20 years and have taken in dogs it took me months to even be able to get close to never mind pet, every single one has ended up a huge suck and been amazing animal companions (on multiple occasions I've lived alone with 6 or more dogs and been made a part of the pack). Animal behavior unlike human behavior is very predictable, animals NEVER attack for no reason.
DAVIDSFEED I’m just scared for you. I know that you know what you’re doing obviously but the snakes are soooo close to your body. I wouldn’t want you to die, you’re one of my fav TH-camrs now. I’m watching all of the old videos as we speak. 😁
@@DAVIDSFEED yeah I'm only 16 so I got plenty of time to research, I'm going to start off with a ball python as a starter. Keep up the work, lottsa love.
@@redneck826 copperheads are probably the best choice of first hot snake here in the USA, which I'm assuming you are from based on the Tennessee flag in your profile thumbnail. I would check with your laws and it definitely shouldn't be your first snake, not hot should be, but good luck.
Handling these snakes will be just fine 99% of the time, if you know what you are doing. Eventualy you get bit, thats just a given. At the end of the day it is a snake, and snakes are very predictable until they are not.
Tino Anttila thanks Tino! I never knew you watch these videos hahaha. You should definitely come visit Thailand, you’ll love it. One day I’d love to come see your awesome setups too, I think yours are the best I’ve seen. Too bad you live so far away 😅

@@bigtoe8741 it gives me anxiety too and I worry about the people being bitten and about loosing my right to keep snakes. But I have to look at it that I like my freedoms and we have to many people trying to rule our lives because they don't believe in others ideals and freedoms.
I saw one in the mountains it has body color of green diamond head and red eye hanging in the 🌲 not moving and his big similar to person wrist but its not long maybe 2meters..sadly i forgot my phone ...but i tell you its very beautiful creature than any other snake..idk the name of the snake because i only saw one in the mountains where i live..i tried to find in the next day but i couldn't find ..
Quit Hating On Him, He Keeps Mostly Thai Snakes And If You Live In Thailand Hosptials Are Bound To Have Anti-Venom And The Ones That Aren't From Thailand He Likely Keeps Anti-Venom For And If He Doesn't Then That's Not Any Of Your Concern, And For The People Who Say He Is Gonna Inspire Young Reptile Lovers To Go Out And Pickup Snakes, Yes It Might But If You're Dumb Enough To Mess With Any Animal At All Without Experience Or Knowledge Then It's Kinda Just Natural Selection At That Point, And For Those Of You Saying That He's Gonna Get Bit And Make The Reptile Community Seem Like Bad Or Uneducated People I Assure You That Not Too Many People Who Don't Enjoy Reptiles Are Watching This Video But In The Unfortunate Event That He Does Die From A Bite, He Died Educating People And Doing What He Loved, So Why Don't You Pansies Just Click Off Of The Video Or Enjoy His Content, Be Glad He's Filming These Animals And Educating People On Them, Most Would Never Know Of Or Get The Chance To Work With Animals As Amazing & Beautiful As These🐍💚
Just because he has access to antivenom doesn't mean he's invincible. There's still a high chance that a bite from some of these snakes would still be fatal. Antivenom isn't some type of super cure all. Go ahead and look into what happens to people after being bit. It's no joke and the way that he just lets these highly venomous snakes crawl all over him, he's basically asking to be bit. I will give it to him, he has some skill. But the complete disregard for how absolutely powerful these snakes are, this will probably end up getting him killed. There's plenty of incredible handlers that make content one TH-cam that you can go and watch and see how big of a difference there is when they're responsible. Lots of them free handle too, just with much more caution.
I love reading the comments on these videos. Everybody talking about how stupid or dangerous it is to handle these snakes… Granted I would not do what you do but I have been 180 miles an hour on a motorcycle jumped out of an airplane along with many other things that are every bit as dangerous as this. Keep doing what you do bro if you love it and it kills you you’ve died happy! I really enjoy your videos and your knowledge on all the different species!!
David I am very curious as to your biography. What country are you from? How long have you lived in Thailand? Are you parents biologists/herpetologists? Your accent sometimes sound vaguely Canadian but at other times possibly like from an anglophone country grown up in a foreign country with no regional inflections ... very curious to know your origins.
Yah good idea for sure only problem with that idea though is even in Thailand home of all the snake farms and bunch collectors and even there they do not have all the antivenin for all the kinds he has and really he already been hit twice once by a cobra and once by a pit viper I wouldn’t doubt if he was hit again he would most likely have worse reaction and be dead before he got to hospital
Whenever i watch this guy handle a viper... i sit in like with full anxiety. Like walking on a thin ledge of a 1000 storied building 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I love snakes and pretty much can handle most of em.. but never in my life would a viper... especially pit vipers.

@@DAVIDSFEED yeah I'm only 16 so I got plenty of time to research, I'm going to start off with a ball python as a starter.
Keep up the work, lottsa love.
@@redneck826 copperheads are probably the best choice of first hot snake here in the USA, which I'm assuming you are from based on the Tennessee flag in your profile thumbnail. I would check with your laws and it definitely shouldn't be your first snake, not hot should be, but good luck.
King Cobras are by far my favorite, and Mangshan Vipers are a close second.
Handling these snakes will be just fine 99% of the time, if you know what you are doing. Eventualy you get bit, thats just a given. At the end of the day it is a snake, and snakes are very predictable until they are not.
Pretty popes! I miss mine.
Man I wish to be able to visit you guys there as soon as possible! Great video once again :)
Tino Anttila thanks Tino! I never knew you watch these videos hahaha. You should definitely come visit Thailand, you’ll love it. One day I’d love to come see your awesome setups too, I think yours are the best I’ve seen. Too bad you live so far away 😅
Hahah sure I do! One of the most interesting chanel in youtube! I know!! I would probably never leave once I get there 😂
You’re always welcome here. I’ll teach you some background techniques then 🙌🙌 Naah man, it’s only few hours from Netherlands once you’re there
Ace Ventura:"This is a lovely room of death." :P
The production quality and the intro song in on point 👌 and of course the snakes 😍
King cobra was so gentle with the new guy😂😂i got scared for no cause
is the spider tailed horn viper in private collector ? never see any video on it
Great video and intro. You are a natural, I have watched all your videos and want more!
Hahahaha. It's like he was going over all the details of the snake and then it clicked in his brain.. "there's no anti-venom for this snake.. soo"
Sehr schöne Video! Große von bayern ! Mach so weiter ! David !
Checkout the stack of aquariums in the middle of the room, there's an accident just waiting to happen, a slight slip or trip and bang, you've crashed into a heap of plexiglass with bitey things in it. btw fellas have you ever free handled a Aussie brown snake?
Sick Intro 👌🏻✌🏻
Tomym 7 thanks, it was made by JasfordEdits
"Once he's outside he's like a puppy dog!" Yeah, 99 times out of a 100. Then there's that one time when things go wild...
WUUUAUU HERMOSAS gracias x compartir y cuídense mucho desde CDA. De mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽✌🙅🙍🙆🙎🌹🎼🎵🎶🌺👌
You should talk more on how to keep them . The herpotology around each species
Very cool collection!
I love the Atheris species, i have 4 squamigeras
2 Yelloy/Red, 1Red and 1 Turquoise.
greetings from Germany
I keep seeing these young people on youtube having venomous snakes. How are they getting licenses? In Florida it has become extremely difficult...
Many many states in the us don't require licenses whatsoever and these guys do not live in the states
Your boyfriend is cute David! Thanks for keeping the videos coming. 🤟🏻😊🙏🏻
Tone Man hahaha Im not gay and don’t have a boyfriend 😂
But thanks!
I don't get the gay vibe but I've seen this commented before.
Same here, that’s why I said that. It’s all good tho, I think ppl are who they r and who gives a truck! It’s nobodies business who ppl wiggle with.

Always Amazing videos
Why does that one guy have a dead cat on his head?
Tom Crutchfield would have a stroke watching this 😂
Tom and I are friends. He has nothing against my way of handling snakes :)
I love the blue insularis. As for free handaling, it's your choice, no one else's.
yeah gives me anxiety tho
@@bigtoe8741 it gives me anxiety too and I worry about the people being bitten and about loosing my right to keep snakes. But I have to look at it that I like my freedoms and we have to many people trying to rule our lives because they don't believe in others ideals and freedoms.
Do u have ur own anti venom for ur snakes if u ever get bit
Fucking awesome video as always both you guys have great feed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jason Omar thanks a lot! Appreciate it
First comment! Love the channel David!
Michael Jasper thanks for watching :)
I saw one in the mountains it has body color of green diamond head and red eye hanging in the 🌲 not moving and his big similar to person wrist but its not long maybe 2meters..sadly i forgot my phone ...but i tell you its very beautiful creature than any other snake..idk the name of the snake because i only saw one in the mountains where i live..i tried to find in the next day but i couldn't find ..
I love Kong’s but which they had more color ... Gaboons are my faves
Anybody else heart in their throats?!!!!!!😳😳😳😳😳😥😥😥😥😥
It’s a an awesome collection, idk how you have the time for all of those reptiles tho.
To be fair most of those snakes don't do anything lol they just sit there
Ever been to Kentucky reptile zoo in Slade,KY? They do alot of milking for anti venom. Has some really cool ones
This kid looks 14 yrs old. With a room full of deadly snakes. Thats wild
Blue snake so beautiful, green too
Biutiful snake dud!!!!!!
Quit Hating On Him, He Keeps Mostly Thai Snakes And If You Live In Thailand Hosptials Are Bound To Have Anti-Venom And The Ones That Aren't From Thailand He Likely Keeps Anti-Venom For And If He Doesn't Then That's Not Any Of Your Concern, And For The People Who Say He Is Gonna Inspire Young Reptile Lovers To Go Out And Pickup Snakes, Yes It Might But If You're Dumb Enough To Mess With Any Animal At All Without Experience Or Knowledge Then It's Kinda Just Natural Selection At That Point, And For Those Of You Saying That He's Gonna Get Bit And Make The Reptile Community Seem Like Bad Or Uneducated People I Assure You That Not Too Many People Who Don't Enjoy Reptiles Are Watching This Video But In The Unfortunate Event That He Does Die From A Bite, He Died Educating People And Doing What He Loved, So Why Don't You Pansies Just Click Off Of The Video Or Enjoy His Content, Be Glad He's Filming These Animals And Educating People On Them, Most Would Never Know Of Or Get The Chance To Work With Animals As Amazing & Beautiful As These🐍💚
Just because he has access to antivenom doesn't mean he's invincible. There's still a high chance that a bite from some of these snakes would still be fatal. Antivenom isn't some type of super cure all. Go ahead and look into what happens to people after being bit. It's no joke and the way that he just lets these highly venomous snakes crawl all over him, he's basically asking to be bit. I will give it to him, he has some skill. But the complete disregard for how absolutely powerful these snakes are, this will probably end up getting him killed. There's plenty of incredible handlers that make content one TH-cam that you can go and watch and see how big of a difference there is when they're responsible. Lots of them free handle too, just with much more caution.
Great video! That eyelash viper seemed very docile.
I love reading the comments on these videos. Everybody talking about how stupid or dangerous it is to handle these snakes… Granted I would not do what you do but I have been 180 miles an hour on a motorcycle jumped out of an airplane along with many other things that are every bit as dangerous as this. Keep doing what you do bro if you love it and it kills you you’ve died happy! I really enjoy your videos and your knowledge on all the different species!!
David I am very curious as to your biography. What country are you from? How long have you lived in Thailand? Are you parents biologists/herpetologists? Your accent sometimes sound vaguely Canadian but at other times possibly like from an anglophone country grown up in a foreign country with no regional inflections ... very curious to know your origins.
14:32 not even a flinch.You sir are a real pro.
I think I kind of dug the green bush viper the best. However I liked the baby king Cobras that Chris had in another video the best. Cary in Tucson
Y'all are crazy👍👍👍
I don’t see an issue with free-handling as long as you are prepared for the outcome. If you own a venomous snake, you better own some antivenom.
Yah good idea for sure only problem with that idea though is even in Thailand home of all the snake farms and bunch collectors and even there they do not have all the antivenin for all the kinds he has and really he already been hit twice once by a cobra and once by a pit viper I wouldn’t doubt if he was hit again he would most likely have worse reaction and be dead before he got to hospital
I love the blue insularis.
Beautiful, very interesting,but please take care.Life is precious.
I like the trippy mushroom t-shirt. Hint: those aren't your usual white button variety! 😅😵🌈🦄
I love your videos! Peace 🙏
Great collection and video
Whenever i watch this guy handle a viper... i sit in like with full anxiety. Like walking on a thin ledge of a 1000 storied building 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I love snakes and pretty much can handle most of em.. but never in my life would a viper... especially pit vipers.
