Letting Giant Python Incubate her own eggs!

- Moo, who has been maternally incubating her eggs in her enclosure for the past 100 days. As one of the largest snakes in the world, reticulated pythons are known for their impressive size, strength, and beauty.
Reticulated pythons are found in Southeast Asia and are named after their unique pattern of interlocking scales, which gives them a distinct, reticulated appearance. These snakes are excellent swimmers and climbers, and they have been known to reach lengths of over 30 feet in the wild.
Moo is a great example of the maternal instinct that is present in many snake species. Female reticulated pythons will coil around their eggs to provide warmth and protection, and they will even shiver their muscles to generate additional heat. This maternal care continues after the eggs hatch, as the mother will remain with her young for several weeks.
Although reticulated pythons are powerful predators, they are not typically aggressive towards humans unless provoked. In fact, many of these snakes are kept as pets due to their unique beauty and docile temperament.
We hope you enjoy this rare glimpse into the world of maternal incubation in reticulated pythons, and we invite you to learn more about these fascinating creatures.
Imagine your protective shell cracking open, you're exposed, don't wanna come out...and you're name is now Eggbert.
Best comment 💕🤗
Eggbert is the real victim
Emotional damage
That's literally the same as being called sleepyhead when you don't want to get up from comfortable bed
Welp! I can't get my shit together now. I will forever house this comment rent free forever and ever
This is why you’re the absolute best in your field. People can build relationships with reptiles, it just not the same as mammals. Reptile-human relationships are all about trust. And if you never break that trust, the bond is even stronger. I love that you’ve taught me this.
@@joshotero6127 that is so rude and inappropriate
@@joshotero6127 God damn, that's a new one, I'm gonna start using it
I firmly believe reptiles can love, just not in the same way. People tend to think of animals as soulless if they don't act like dogs.
@@eggrollorsoup6052 Brother please explain to me how telling someone to basically stop orally gratifying someone else is projection. Projecting what exactly? I dont think you know a fucking thing about Freud's work because you dont understand the definition of projecting lol. So ill tell you this, stop sucking my cock
@teihini-ane no your mother is more than likely part of the sucking cock crew.
“Very interested in whats going on” as the snake looks in the complete opposite direction 😂
She trusts you so much she’s not even fussed that you’re holding her eggs.
She says put the scissor down
She says put the scissor down
@@tinarobertson1012 but thats a sexy pose
I think the snake is looking at the camera man
I was literally thinking she actually doesnt even care! 😂
I can’t believe how laid back she is with you handling her eggs/hatchlings. It’s clear that she doesn’t perceive any threat from you. The look she gives you, what affection looks like from a serpent. I never, ever thought I would see that.
Thats the 1st thing i noticed. She has cartoon eyes
Snakes have no affection towards handlers. You have never owned a snake and it shows.
@dipinmylip1171 educate me, please. I’ve never owned or handled a reptile of any kind. How would you interpret the look?
@@trevabrodt688maybe he has had that snake for a while so it knows he is not a threat
@@dipinmylip1171 snakes technically don’t love but they feel pleasure when provided with habitual things. The snake has come to know this man and has a sense of self comfort with him which is still a sense of liking him
I love that you allowed her to be a mother. This brings so much joy to my heart
Mine too❤😂🎉
No one else in the hobby as I know it has been able to accomplish this kind of relationship with their snakes. This is why you're the best!
He is the best. There are others who have established relationships like this with their scale friends. Its precious though, no matter who.
you have to delelop a bond with them from birth to achieve this I believe , either that or the snek actually has to like you z they are like cats in that reguard XD
I think the mama snake is unique here too. A lot of mama snakes wouldn't let you near their eggs even after a long time trying to build trust.
I used to have a female Burmese 17 feet long. She trusted ME but when other people approached her cage, her entire temperament changed and she would feel threatened. Guess it knew me, I could pick her up (one part at a time!!) and reach right up and pet her between the eyes was but when other ppl tried to even get close she would recoil and get defensive
what do you mean? he's literally forcing its head to "pay attention" to the eggs in his hand😂😂😂
Am I the only one who think her snoot is absolutely adorable??? Shes so cute
I do too!! Shes absolutely precious 🥺😇🐍💛
She is
Absolutely adorable, yeah; but scary too!
I do not like snakes but yeeeees i also thought so, she is so cute her eyes look so kind 😃
Me too! I wanna book her nose😂!
He didn’t finish his statement, basically him and the snake are so cool that she lets him touch, hold and even open the eggs. If she thought of him as a threat for even a inkling of a second things could get messy. But the bond is so strong that the snake is just chilling
Momma snake feels the love he has got her and her babies.
There's no bond, it's not inquisitive it is a filthy serpent.
@@don_fami okay buddy
@@don_fami how dumb can you be? Who am I kidding, you’re just a looser troll desperate for human contact
Snakes during this phase are very sluggish and vulnerable bc they typically don’t eat and stay to protect the eggs at all cost.
My boa birthed a bunch of slugs once and the second I opened her enclosure, she wrapped my whole forearm. Poor thing was protecting her babies even though they weren’t alive 💔 I didn’t breed her, I received her already gravid, and I had no idea when the litter might come. I was so sad for her
Aw I’m sorry you did your best and so did she❤
What's slugs
@@JessicaWilliams-b8m they didnt make it.
@@battousaicrescent why are they called slugs
Cause they probably looked like a messy bunch of slimey slugs. A snake and slug don’t look very different when the snakes are babies probably so mixed in with all the bodily fluids from birth.. nasty slimey squiggles
I love that you let her stay with her eggs, because a channel I won't name takes all the eggs away, which causes the mother snakes extreme distress and they strike repeatedly at him.
Lol I know who you talking about.
Chubby dude?
@@sibusisofaya7874 Yes.
Are these just cut open the whole time charity
Yeah I've seen it
The amount of times you held those scissors up to her neck 😭
Right! Completely unaware, or was it insurance?
Why do you think she's so well behaved? 😂
I know she was like "I better play this right" 😂😂😂
I didn't even notice what he was saying at first cause I couldn't look away from those damn scissors!
Daymm thats wild..
"The Big One does weird things all the time but is harmless"
_Oh, Ling-Ling_
Lol, honestly that adorable big noodle is probably thinking that. Have you seen the other short with him dealing with a what I can only guess is a Monitor Lizard that he cut the egg open like this. That little liz got so much love, affection and even chin scratches all within it just opening it's eyes...
Hahahaha omg yep
What a gorgeous critter! It’s clear she trusts you immensely from how relaxed she’s behaving and I can only imagine how hard you’ve worked hard to earn that trust.
Are you on the spectrum?
@@sammicopor What kind of question is that?! There’s nothing they said that could’ve suggested that, and without that, your words sound malicious.
@@sammicopor why ask? does it matter?
@@sammicopor you are strange
@@sammicopor Found a typical lame troll..
I LOVE that you are letting her incubate her own eggs!! Thanks for taking good care of her...and letting her be a mom!
This is beautiful, she completely trusts you! you obviously show her the respect she deserves. What a beautiful bond. ❤
I LOVE the fact that you let her incubate her own eggs! Thank you for not ripping them away from their mother like so many others do! You're an amazing person!
Yet instead of letting the babies hatch in their own he opens the egg up which could damage it some….why do people think they can do a better job of taking care of those babies than the Momma can ????
I truly hate snakes. They aren’t anything like dogs or cats that you can trust not to bite us with time passing. They just don’t show us the same type of love.
@@robertjohnson3855 🥱
Human: "I have a loving relationship with this animal."
Also Human: puts scissors to snakes throat
YES 😂😂
Lol right?
kjdfyugh EXACTLY LOL
OmFg I said the same shit Fml 😮lol
🤦🏾♀️😩😂😂😂
She’s grateful that someone can appreciate her eggs just as much a she does 😊 AND supports her . This is family !!
Did the snake tell u that…?
Wake up, the creature has no choice but to be forced to live in a plastic box. Not Disney.
You have abandonment issue lol
@@mikedmacc709 I was about to say she needs to text her dad but bro you beat me t it so I’m gonna switch my toxic to you.
Stop projecting your own insecurities on others.
It’s not her fault that you’re single.
@@dantex3469 nah got a women from Cali your the insecure one. It's always the one with no profile pic . You soo insecure you don't even have a profile picture cause you don't even want the public to see you🤣😭. Bye ugly. You sound like you the one who lonely don't project that on me. At least I'm not ashamed of how I look like you . Lmaooo
She's an amazing mom and i love the respect you have for each other. You have such a trusting bond with her ❤
Her face is gorgeous..She is so trusting of him
.Makes me want to hug and kiss her..Wish all snakes were like she is with him
No striking no nothing!!!! This is the first time I’ve a seen a snake momma not strike when a person has her eggs!!!!! You really know what you’re doing and the time it took for her to trust you and be so cool about you holding her eggs SHE IS SO CALM!!!! It’s the dedication and love for me
Love this!!!❤
“She very protective and inquisi..
(snake starts moving away completely uninterested in what he’s doing)
**pulls snake’s head back over to the egg**
“And look how protective and inquisitive she is!!” 😂
Looool YES 😂😂
I think she was just looking at the cameraman? I mean afterall she might have no reason to see a threat from the owner
Actually thank you for this video. I never knew snakes were capable of that type of bond. I'm so glad I got to witness this.
This is the very first time in my life, that I have found a snake like this one, cute deserving of love and tenderness
Wow, that's the most compassionate snake I've ever seen....the face!
Not a fan of snakes, but she has the sweetest look on her face❤
It's very interesting. You became such a common part of her life, that she thinks of you as a part of her normal environment, even though you are moving around and are very different from her. She just doesn't even consider you being able to harm her eggs. She knows you won't do that
The snake is watching and tracking the canera person
She don’t look curious at all lol she completely trust you with them eggs, she taking a break😂😂
😂factz
Omg, look at her, she’s so cute and loves her caretaker! Look at how she stares at him 🥹 innocent and cute
THIS!!! This is everything. There are so many videos out there of other breeders who manhandle their snakes & laugh when they’re clearly in distress, while they steal the eggs she just laid….but here you are, showing that these kinds of relationships exist if you work for it. And this is just so much more comfortable to watch, in my opinion, than some fat turd getting bit in the face by a reticulated Python who is absolutely stressed to the max because of how she’s being handled. It doesn’t have to be that way…..but it takes time, dedication, patience, and love. You have to be willing to provide all of those things. You do. And that’s what makes you special.
There's not one reptile keeper in the game that does it like this guy.
He's the league's above everyone else and showing you what can become of a well socialized reptile
Oh, I thought you meant opening all the eggs before they could hatch on their own.
That's one of the most socialized snakes I've ever seen. I big ole sweety pie
Wow Kevin what you just did speaks volumes to the relationship you have with that momma. I’ve never seen that before. Wow. Just when I thought I couldn’t respect Kevin more. He does this. Wow.
She has to be the most cutest snake I have ever seen 🥰❤️
He's very gentle with her and honestly I'm so impressed with the trust he has built with her! Very cool she's a beautiful snake
I just love her, she's stunning and the most gentlest of soft nature's. Who ever gets one of her babies is lucky if they take after Mummy xc
Obrigado por ter sido dica profeya hinos para Agostinho telegrama TH-cam bhethefhu trabajar para
Absolutely incredible, that animal knows who you are and most importantly TRUSTS YOU. This is extremely uncommon to see such levels of trust
You can see how chill the snake is. If you treat an animal nicely it will treat you nicely back
“She’s very curious.” While snake trying to turn away.
Python got more chill than 99% of humans.
well she is cold blooded
It is SO sweet of you to let her brood! I know that it's safer for the babies to take the eggs, but it always breaks my heart to see python eggs be taken from their Mamas, especially when they have a high maternal instinct like her. Thank you! ❤
Wow! I've never seen them so calm around their eggs and someone playing in them... No matter how domesticated or captive.
The fact that you can even get close, let alone pick up and cut open the eggs to assist in hatching, shows that her trust in you is enough to override her maternal instinct to see you as even a remotely potential threat.
What a lovely mama, she's so calm, that's how you know she trusts you.
this is the cutest snake ever 😭
Dude I can't believe she isn't freaking out, and striking at you. They normally go ape shit when anyone tries to touch the eggs.
That’s why the video was cut short …
It looked like she surely responded to those sharp ass scissors gently touching against her underside
"He's so considerate of the animal"
@@lazyscholar7932 right!!🙁
She's absolutely trusting in your skills and abilities to take care of her and her babies.
The last kiddo in the egg was like a neonate sleeping in his cradle..... It was so cute❤❤❤❤❤
That’s unreal Kevin !! I’ve never seen anything like this before in my 62 years
This is the only time I've ever seen a snake that docile when someone came close to it's eggs.
Such a good momma. What cute babies
She's so beautiful! You can see she's kind as well.
I love the relationship you have with your snakes.
Wow, I’ve never seen a snake so calm and trusting.
That’s amazing! I can’t believe how docile she is!
You poked its neck multiple times lol
You know I think it's really nice to see some make Keepers actually let their mother snakes incubate their own eggs. It's always nice to see that cuz I'm sure it's stress of them out to have the eggs yanked from them and then taken from them and you know.
Im glad you’re showing others how sweet these guys can be. After getting a snake, I’ve noticed how intelligent and loving they truly are. It makes me sad when I watch videos debating about whether they even have feelings. I’ve even seen vids of reptile breeders saying they don’t! Of course as a reptile breeder with all your snakes being in crates and you never really bonding with them you’re not really gonna be able to see what they’re really like since they’re not comfortable with you.
My snake, Constantine, loves to poke his head out of the substrate once he hears that I’m in the room. I’ll walk in not seeing him and a couple mins later he’ll have his head peaking out against the glass to see what I’m up to. He’s so fricken adorable. He’s even eaten while still holding onto me! And he loves climbing things I’ll take him out every now and then to let him explore he’s so fricken adorable. And my snake is still a baby, I’ve only had him for 5/6 months. Anywho. They have feelings. It’s sad how people don’t typically know that. Or that they have such a bad rep I guess people didn’t even care to know cuz there still isn’t many studies done about how emotional they can be.
Egbert is adorable
It’s amazing how the giant python trusts you!
I usually see snakes on the screen and they freak me out but she has the most cutest eyes the most calmest snake I have ever seen
This is really awesome. She's so sweet and chill. She's obviously got loads of personality. ❤
This is absolutely incredible!! I’ve never seen a retic so calm while your touching it’s eggs.
Oh I love your snakes so much. You’re such a kind soul! 🖤
See, folks? When you have this kind of trust from any animal, what you have is a treasure that billions of people never get to experience ever in their lifetimes. Never betray that trust.
That applies to all creatures, even humans...
Such a wonderful way you can handle her eggs and she isn't upset.
Out of every TH-cam video I have ever watched over the course of 4 years, i have never seen someone let the mum incubate the eggs for survival reasons. That’s so cool
Awe she is so sweet and she's so pretty what a great mom and I love that you're teaching people about reptiles...
It’s absolutely amazing how you can see the softness and kindness in her eyes. You can also tell she just knows he won’t hurt them and looks like she’s smiling at him as well! She’s a proud Mama❤
Awesome that you gave her the chance!
🐍
She's so calm and gentle. Ive never seen one behave like this before. You can tell she loves and trusts him.
Sharp pair of scissors near her head when she could potentially become defensive….absolutely brilliant Kevin.
That's really cool that she let's you handle her eggs. She knows they are safe. She so cute
I’m literally glad he kept the eegs with there mother usually they take away the eegs and incubate them and they don’t see there mothers how sad.
Isn’t that because some snakes (and other animals) will eat their eggs? Also safer that way because the eggs are in a monitored incubator. Vs some moms not wanting to eat so they can stay with said eggs.
@@silentmeklar1783 that‘s what I‘m thinking too… I thought that most of them leave the eggs right after they laid them, so I dont know if thats really the relationship or he put her just for the video next to the eggs that would also explain that she‘s absolutly not interessed in what happens with them… but I dont know which kind of snakes leave the eggs and if there are breeds that really stay with them and protects them but I think as soon as they‘re out they leave the mom, so i dont think its comparable to animals that stay with their „kids“..
@@LauraP865 some animal’s definitely do stay with their kids, I just wouldn’t have labeled snakes as the ones. Or other animals that are willing to eat their young. I’d say a better example of animals that stay with their kids would be elephants or even horses
She just lets you. Never seen an animal show that much trust towards an owner.
They obviously have a great relationship.
That is amazing I've never seen a python be so passive with someone around her eggs, just wow
from the second the video started i could sense how comfortable that snake was around you! so beautiful
she’s making sure you’re nice to her babies ❤ This is actually beautiful to see I’m loving it
Yeah, I'm impressed she's so calmed while you're handling her eggs!
She makes me think of my dog... I have a few morph balls, but she makes reminds me of my dog. So sweet and trusting and adorable.
I love how every animal that is a mother has a whole new look in their eyes that’s so pure and loving
She's so chill about you holding her eggs! It's amazing!
She so trusting she knows he loves the babies as much as she does proud mama
I’ve had an absolute phobia of snakes for as long as I can remember, but after seeing a few videos here and there, I can’t deny that they’re actually quite fascinating. I don’t want any near me, but it is nice to be able to appreciate them-even if from a distance.
That's incredible......that blew my mind I was waiting for her to strike and she was completely comfortable that she left her baby with you and took the time to look around and get some personal time as you babysit. That's incredible, if I didn't see it I wouldn't of believed it.
The cutest baby snake in that egg at the end ❤
Damn I remember seeing a different video of someone dealing with a mama like that and she was not happy with him near the eggs, kind of amazing she’s chill with you handling them.
I also used to think that reptiles are not capable of feelings and therefore not capable of such bonds. I simply had no idea what I was talking about. I don't have any reptiles myself and I don't want to get any, but I like to watch other people dealing with these animals and that made me change my mind completely. I was just stupid and people like you help others to change their view of the world and for that I am grateful. Thanks. 👍🏼
NEVER found a snake cute until today 😢 I feel like I’ve been missing out! She’s a beauty!
her eyes and mouth are so cute❤
beautiful snake😊
Excellent video this is what I was waiting to know if my own snake could hatch its own eggs in captivity thanks
She is gorgeous. Love watching you interact with your snakes.
See this is a guy who knows how to have a bond with his pets great job at what u do
You know you have a good relationship with your snakes when you can pick up the eggs from her clutch without her striking. GREAT work
She's such a sweetheart. She's going to make a great mother.
I think its great you leave the mom in the incubator with the eggs. Other people will separate them right away. Poor moms. Love this❤❤❤
I love how u understand unlike many people and I love how she understands that u understand what she wants
You never think that a snake thinks, just reacts. I’m amazed
