Brian! I hope you or your staff read this. FedEx is a big NO. please. I worked there. I've seen people toss boxes as hard as they could. Fragile meant nothing! Please be careful, I'm only telling you for the safety of your scaley babies.
Honestly it doesn't matter who you use to ship packages. My dad used to work for the post office, they use 0 care there as well. I don't know if they do it for packages as well, but for letters they send them through a conveyor belt that moves so fast, certain parcels get slammed against walls, or shredded because they weren't placed on the belt correctly.
i worked at fed ex a few years ago in one of the package sort buildings, and i wouldn't recommend shipping live animals through ANY general package courier, because package handlers simply aren't paid enough to where they will give a shit if your package is "fragile" or damaged or not or requires special treatment. when you are working for poverty wages, a box is a box, and after enough days on the job, you simply couldn't care less. the building where i worked, people would throw boxes every day, and no one cared because you're simply not going to care while working in poverty for a multi billion dollar corporation, and they couldn't fire anyone because the turnover rate was so extremely high that people kept quitting in droves and management was always struggling to keep people from quitting, nevermind firing people and risking retaliation. personally, I've alway thought that any live animals should be shipped through special carrier services specifically made for that purpose, not general package delivery services where most "fragile" things will likely be damaged because people aren't paid to where they will care.
I got my first Ball Python today, a Blue Eyed Leucistic, and while she was super good-natured in the shop, she was a bit stressed out and scared when I went to put her in the tank - was hissing and puffing up at me. I just let her come out the bag on her own and now she looks a lot happier now that she's in her hide. Looking forward to be able to handle her within the next week. :D Nice video, Brian!
neep sheep congrats!! my snake is also leucistic, make sure you use just a heat bad under your tank, if you want a lamp, get a ceramic that doesn't produce light, lucies sunburn easily!! I wish someone had told me this when I first got my snake, he didn't burn but he retained 2 sheds in a row, he's okay now ;]
I'm getting my new baby Western Hognose snake today in the mail. I am literally sitting in the living room just waiting for that delivery man! :) Her enclosure is set up and ready to go and I've got everything ready for the unboxing:) so excited!!!!
Thank you for your videos, Brian. I have learned so much from you and love your enthusiasm and passion for every animal you have. It is great to see how excited and happy they make you.
I can't tell you how excited I was years ago to see AnimalBytesTV created and so many amazing shows of animal adventures all over the world to watch each week. I am puzzled as to why that was so short lived.
Really brilliant video :) this is the kind of video I searched for throughout the net for a 'how to' cage setup before I got my first ball python. Extremely helpful information. Loved how you were using your new knife in the video. The guy that sent it to you must be so happy!
Huge fan Brian keep up the good work. My first ever snake was a 12 ft burmese python, Have had her for a year now and my collection keeps growing up to 5 snakes now.
This was a seriously good video especially information-wise, anyone who is expecting a new snake or any reptile should watch this video. Brian you rock man!!
Glad you kept mentioning communicating with the breeder. Something I hadn't considered before, and might not have otherwise. Personally I'd prefer to buy at a show/expo so I can have a chance to check it out, see how it reacts to me before purchasing. But even so, jotting down their number/email for any further questions would be a good idea.
YES!!! Using your new knife :-)....NO ONE does this...The "Big box" pet stores dont give you 1/10th of this information..."Here is your cage, here is your pet, place in cage and feed it blah blah blah"....Thanks Brian...You are so needed in the animal industry...NEVER STOP Ryan
great advice. I just but three leopard geckos for you this past Friday. a bold Bell, a super snow, and a white and yellow. there's awesome and look very healthy. thanks Brian.
Great video yet again Brian! And it's really nice to see your take on terrariums and so on -In future videos, I would love to see you dig more into that area of the hobby :)
hi Brian ur videos about your snakes are very interesting and educational to...ive learned a lot just by watching ur videos...i love boas and ur lizards especially the baby lizards there spunky but adorably cute 😀
we have a little pied ball python that is still really young that we now have in our house her name is Sunday she was a rescue from Petco her and her sister were brought in from a terrible owner he did not keep them in proper caging he force fed them every time we took her home and even in about 2 weeks she is doing a lot better then what she was in her old home...Sunday is really sweat it is really sad people treat such amazing animals!
Such good advice. So many folks want to buy the animal and their habitat on the same day. It just doesn't work with most reptiles. Also...Shoot an opening video and post it on You Tube. Lol
John Dayton I mean, that can work? It doesn't take long to set up a snake's habitat. Took me like 10 minutes tops to make a new habitat for my corn who grew out his old one.
that babysnakes reaction is exactly why I can't get a snake, not that I'm afraid that it biting my pinky would work but the fact that I would panic and drop it and be afraid to pick it up.
Great video. I don't even have or plan to have reptiles in my life. The closest thing I have to one is a Moluccan cockatoo. I love all animals and will watch more of your videos!
This is amazing info Brian thank you so much! Quick question for youtube: I was given two snakes that are basically adults so they'd been handled but my issue is that these snakes were adopted. Is this process that Brian outlines here a good way to get them acclimated to their new environment? These are my very first snakes and I am nervous about messing things up for them especially since they had already been with a family for a long time.
Oh my God!! I remember when my colombian was that small! In my experience with a colombian rainbow boa, they need higher humidity because of their natural environment; the amazon rainforest. I use reptile carpetting to avoid molding when coupled with a humidifier that keeps the tank closer to 100 than 50, retained sheds are common for rainbow boas, they need moisture.
Hi there. I want a male checkered albino garter snake from your site. I'd prefer a female, as I see from your videos they get larger, although I don't wanna go too large like a corn snake, so this is right in the middle but females are all sold out. I know the season just started, do you know when they will be in stock again???
Brian - If this new snake is your only reptile would you recommend doing any quarantining of the animal? If so, would you just simplify the substrate? By the way love both your channels!
I have a few snakes and other pets, and i just love them so much the thought of losing them nags at me. My biggest fear is that one of these days I'll be at work and some heat sorce, whether it's a heat lamp or heat pad or just a short in an outlet, will catch my house on fire and take them all. So I was wondering if you have some sort of fire rescue plan for all of your reptiles in the case that your shop were to catch fire. How would you get them out?
Oh my goodness Brian, thank you so much for putting out such a nice basic video how to settle in a new pet snake. I do think letting the baby keep striking at your hand as you spoke was a bit of a misstep though. It sort of displayed the opposite of what you were so sensibly promoting in saying not to stress the baby out as you were kind of letting the baby stress out as your other hand moved back and forth in front of its face. I think we the viewers would happily forgive you for taking that extra moment and breaking you train of thought to divide your attention to the un-boxed snake and getting it perhaps turned away from your other hand, then continuing. Yer a Pro Dude, you can do it all.....=D
Hey Brian, I just started watching your videos and it's awesome especially the "what Snake I should get" ones. It's been my dream to have a pet Snake and I'm getting close to the age where I can start looking to invest in one. One thing I would look forward to a video on is different body shapes of snakes. Like the head of a python is more defined than the head of a cornsnake, which is rounder and less defined. I was wondering if there were smaller snakes then the boa or python that had that defined head, because I do love the look of a ball python but I was something a little more active and smaller.
I have a question, I'm not sure if you can help out, there's not a vet in my area who treats snakes. I just recently got a full grown Ball Python. He was rescued by my local fire dept, out of burning building. He sat at the police station for almost a week, and no one came to claim him. I'm decent at taking care of animals so I took him in. For the first week he didn't eat, Then on day 9 he took a frozen/thawed feeder mouse, but, he hasn't eaten since, and we're going on day 18. I tried to feed him again but he's not interested. I know I should be concerned, but I am missing a step some were, or is there something else I should be trying? Thank You for your time
That’s one angry little snake lol. I think it’s striking is so cute and Brian is completely unphased hahaha. I would have dropped the thing and ran lol.
I just got an African house snake from Snakes at Sunset. Their site said that they’ve been feeding on fuzzies... but the snake I got is about a foot and a half if that and MAYBE half an inch around. Should I try fuzzies or just go with pinkies to be safe?
I'm looking into getting a Ball Python as my first snake, but there are so many morphs to choose from it can be overwhelming. (especially seeing the price tag on some morphs!) I've also heard Brian say that he's known some morphs to be more high-strung and nippy. Is there any ball python morph that's characteristically calm and easy to handle? Also, I know that younger snakes can be more apt to bite, so is it better for a first time snake owner to start off with a young/baby snake, or an adult? Thanks!
If you buy animals vía FedEx you only can track where ur package is, but don't forget that inside theres an animal, and u cant track the treatment it had
I'm most nervous about the initial i boxing of my snake it should be here Tuesday , my stellar said they are going to shop Monday if weather checks out. I am worried that he will be stressed from shipping and I don't want to pick him up and make him mad
Just received my baby Oreo pueblan milksnake! He seems to be in very good shape, his eyes are clear and his scales are smooth. Very glad to have him as an addition to my family of animals :)
Music is nice but it's a bit distracting and loud in comparison to your voice- almost trying to battle to hear you over it at some points. That aside thank you for posting a video of this sort!
Oh my god ive been looking for a video like this. Ive got a hognose coming and i wanted to know if letting it get used to the temperature of the house before putting it in the tank
I have a question, he talks about inspecting your snake for parasites, but how exacting do you tell if a snake is carrying a parasite? I'm getting my first snake soon and this is the one thing I'm unsure about.
Indigo if your snake has a parasite it won't look healthy best thing to do is research what they can get and how to tell usually eyes are a big way of telling if your snake is healthy or the way their scales feel but best way is researching and observation even after their in their cage
I assume he is mainly talking about external parasites like mites. When you take the snake out check under the chin,around the eyes, and look at your hands to see if there are any small blackish colored bugs crawling around. If there is you probably should put it in a temporary enclosure.
hey my ball python (ET) has the start of scale rot right between his eyes and i changed the substrate to the rug and it seems impossable to raise the humidity, i baught a terarium enclosure and my questions would be Would it hurt to install a little waterfall in his enclosure to help raise humidity and How would i be able to get rid of the scale rot that has started??? please help
Am wondeing if its possible to have a Bio Active cage for the animal, plants with under belly heating? I like these types of cage set up except the lamps. Only thing I want the lamp is fo the plants. So is ut possible or not?
just watching the start i have a couple of questions before i get my first pet snake-a ball python-. would i want a heat mat or the lamp? how will i know if the ball python will need a bigger enclosure?? i do know i REALLLLLLYYYYYY LATE but yah so ummm ")
Got my snake in the mail yesterday and fed it the same day. But I understand why you guy's all same the same thing, not all breeders are pros like you guys so some snakes could definitely be more stressed than a well taken care of snake.
I just imagine him taking a huge breath before recording.
One deep enough to completely reset the lungs
😂
lol
Brian! I hope you or your staff read this. FedEx is a big NO. please. I worked there. I've seen people toss boxes as hard as they could. Fragile meant nothing! Please be careful, I'm only telling you for the safety of your scaley babies.
Holy crap! I can't speak for UPS from experience. I hope they arrive safely.

I've had ups deliver my packages by tossing it in the middle of the road so...
all shipping companies have people like that, it's always a gamble no matter what
it took me a moment to realise that Fahrenheit exists i thought they were gonna bake the poor snakes
i love u brian u inspire me daily and are shaping my future(i'm 14 and i'm already taking Ap biology to major in veterinarian care) thank you so much
This is a good episode about my new snake coming today. Thank you Brian, you're the best!
lol you better take his advice , and inspect your new reptile good and well when it arrives.
Luckily, I told them to make sure it's a healthy one
woah.. haha i think they just deleated my first comment to you
:Edit: never mind looks liek youtubes being wonky .....
Jimmy Mendham Lol kid you stole Brian's description on your youtubw
Elk army not exactly. But I'm glad he uploaded this episode so I can be prepared for my new animal
I got my first Ball Python today, a Blue Eyed Leucistic, and while she was super good-natured in the shop, she was a bit stressed out and scared when I went to put her in the tank - was hissing and puffing up at me. I just let her come out the bag on her own and now she looks a lot happier now that she's in her hide. Looking forward to be able to handle her within the next week. :D Nice video, Brian!
neep sheep congrats!! my snake is also leucistic, make sure you use just a heat bad under your tank, if you want a lamp, get a ceramic that doesn't produce light, lucies sunburn easily!! I wish someone had told me this when I first got my snake, he didn't burn but he retained 2 sheds in a row, he's okay now ;]
neep sheep how is she now? ;D
How is she doing a year later??
Can i have it
Who else remembers the old intro with the snake that strikes the screen? Classic.
Fuck off
Nick Gurz no u
Great video again Brian!
I love your videos!
I want a reptile now!
*_Keep up the good work and thumbs up!_*
I'm getting my new baby Western Hognose snake today in the mail. I am literally sitting in the living room just waiting for that delivery man! :) Her enclosure is set up and ready to go and I've got everything ready for the unboxing:) so excited!!!!
how did it go
@@dank9288639 It went great! She is growing pretty quickly and has a very healthy appetite :) Her name is Zagara!
Thank you for your videos, Brian. I have learned so much from you and love your enthusiasm and passion for every animal you have. It is great to see how excited and happy they make you.
I can't tell you how excited I was years ago to see AnimalBytesTV created and so many amazing shows of animal adventures all over the world to watch each week. I am puzzled as to why that was so short lived.
we just ordered an albino corn snake from you yesterday can't wait til it arrives should be on Tuesday so excited for my first snake
So excited for our little guy (Albino corn snake 😍) to get here! Love your videos Brian!
Really brilliant video :) this is the kind of video I searched for throughout the net for a 'how to' cage setup before I got my first ball python. Extremely helpful information. Loved how you were using your new knife in the video. The guy that sent it to you must be so happy!
Just realized that this was the first video I ever watched of yours Brian! Hook line and sinker I've never miss a day since ❤🐍🦎❤
Huge fan Brian keep up the good work. My first ever snake was a 12 ft burmese python, Have had her for a year now and my collection keeps growing up to 5 snakes now.

P.S. #Queit lol ....
Thanks Brian, this is such a great and informative video! I'll be re-watching this video when I'm ready to get my first snake.
Yes I've been waiting for a video like this! 😊😊
You sir, have a great music sense👍🏻
great advice. I just but three leopard geckos for you this past Friday. a bold Bell, a super snow, and a white and yellow. there's awesome and look very healthy. thanks Brian.
i bought my snake from you guys after thanksgiving . love him he such a awesome snake.
You guys are babies. The music is barely noticeable
Thanks
Great video yet again Brian! And it's really nice to see your take on terrariums and so on -In future videos, I would love to see you dig more into that area of the hobby :)
Brian makes my day!
hi Brian ur videos about your snakes are very interesting and educational to...ive learned a lot just by watching ur videos...i love boas and ur lizards especially the baby lizards there spunky but adorably cute 😀
Love that intro music&video great compilation! :D i could watch it 10h :P
we have a little pied ball python that is still really young that we now have in our house her name is Sunday she was a rescue from Petco her and her sister were brought in from a terrible owner he did not keep them in proper caging he force fed them every time we took her home and even in about 2 weeks she is doing a lot better then what she was in her old home...Sunday is really sweat it is really sad people treat such amazing animals!
My Fed Ex lady was extra happy to get of her live animal box. My baby was in perfect condition
Very informative! YAY!
Great! I was hoping you mention something about quarantine along with just arrivals if you have other snakes.
It's pretty like moving from old place to new place and find out what it's gonna be.
Coping with the animal to get used to can help gaining trust.
Nothing goes together better than reptiles and dubstep.
Such good advice. So many folks want to buy the animal and their habitat on the same day. It just doesn't work with most reptiles. Also...Shoot an opening video and post it on You Tube. Lol
John Dayton I mean, that can work? It doesn't take long to set up a snake's habitat. Took me like 10 minutes tops to make a new habitat for my corn who grew out his old one.

Man! Awesome video! your videos keep getting better and better both in quality and topic.
This is amazing info Brian thank you so much! Quick question for youtube: I was given two snakes that are basically adults so they'd been handled but my issue is that these snakes were adopted. Is this process that Brian outlines here a good way to get them acclimated to their new environment?

I was so jealous my friends were at a reptile show last weekend and met you Brian that was awesome
I like the background music. Excellent vlog as always!!! have a awesome day brian!!
Jeremy Bush same here, this and last week's song were both great, i have had no luck finding them though
Jeremy Bush but it's not a vlog
Martin Reyes

Ben Waldock no it's just a snake bytes episode
Thank you very much! This answered a lot of questions I had.
havent been getting notifications for your vids brian!!! im slowly but surely finding them
Thanks sooo much for this viedo Brian i just got my new baby piebald ball and this helped me soo much.... love ur volgs
Oh my God!! I remember when my colombian was that small!
In my experience with a colombian rainbow boa, they need higher humidity because of their natural environment; the amazon rainforest.
I use reptile carpetting to avoid molding when coupled with a humidifier that keeps the tank closer to 100 than 50, retained sheds are common for rainbow boas, they need moisture.
The new knife! So cool
And I appreciate this video, gonna be useful in the future (;
thanks, SnakeBytes and Brian!

Have a good one Brian
I have a few snakes and other pets, and i just love them so much the thought of losing them nags at me.

Thank You for your time
nah hes like the honey badger of mankind he just takes the snake bite and keeps on truckin
That’s one angry little snake lol. I think it’s striking is so cute and Brian is completely unphased hahaha. I would have dropped the thing and ran lol.
can you do a detailed video on how to inspect a snake when you first get it or if you are looking for one in a pet shop/breeder
Nice video. I'd love to see you make a similar one on how to properly unbox a hot snake. There is some bad advice here online.
Might it be a good idea to put a blanket, sheet etc over the enclosure like you would for a parrot?
I just got an African house snake from Snakes at Sunset. Their site said that they’ve been feeding on fuzzies... but the snake I got is about a foot and a half if that and MAYBE half an inch around. Should I try fuzzies or just go with pinkies to be safe?
What type of bedding do you use for ball python, dry or moist?
Would you recommend using hear pad for any size tubs?
I love snakes because I watch this channel ❤❤
I'm looking into getting a Ball Python as my first snake, but there are so many morphs to choose from it can be overwhelming. (especially seeing the price tag on some morphs!)

Awesome!!!! video Brian!
This is the best intro ever
Getting a Corn in around March.Doing all the research I can,and I picked the breeder.Still a bit nervous about the first day.If that makes sense.
Super helpful advice thank you
I'll be buying a corn snake soon! I'm so exited :)
Hey Brian I was wonder what’s a good first reptile to start with ?
If anyone is looking for the song in the background, it’s called “ City Of Angels “ by Bridge to Grace.
Thanks
i wish you were coming to the central kansas reptile expo.
video was very helpful! thanks!
If you buy animals vía FedEx you only can track where ur package is, but don't forget that inside theres an animal, and u cant track the treatment it had
Hey I’m thinking of getting a snake I’ve never had one before, I was just wondering if you can use sand for the base of your habitat?
Should I cover my cage with a blanket but still have the basking light and stuff on when I first get it?
I'm most nervous about the initial i boxing of my snake it should be here Tuesday , my stellar said they are going to shop Monday if weather checks out. I am worried that he will be stressed from shipping and I don't want to pick him up and make him mad
Just received my baby Oreo pueblan milksnake! He seems to be in very good shape, his eyes are clear and his scales are smooth. Very glad to have him as an addition to my family of animals :)
Bryan you should start breeding rubber boas and help them become more common as pets
Thanks for the tip🐍🐍🐍🐍
Music is nice but it's a bit distracting and loud in comparison to your voice- almost trying to battle to hear you over it at some points. That aside thank you for posting a video of this sort!
Cheechy Kaname ITS ANDY BLACK THOUGH
thats the point , get freaky lool
Oh my god ive been looking for a video like this. Ive got a hognose coming and i wanted to know if letting it get used to the temperature of the house before putting it in the tank
I got my python from an exotic petstore he came home in a taxi.

you should breed monitors...I have a monitor collection and it's pretty easy if you know what you are doing
Am wondeing if its possible to have a Bio Active cage for the animal, plants with under belly heating? I like these types of cage set up except the lamps. Only thing I want the lamp is fo the plants. So is ut possible or not?
nice music choice :P
do you want to check if it is the right snake
just watching the start i have a couple of questions before i get my first pet snake-a ball python-. would i want a heat mat or the lamp? how will i know if the ball python will need a bigger enclosure?? i do know i REALLLLLLYYYYYY LATE but yah so ummm ")
sir how can you determine the temp by just using a average lamp light and how can it be monitored in the constant temp.
I love the song in the background :3
What's it called?
Got my snake in the mail yesterday and fed it the same day. But I understand why you guy's all same the same thing, not all breeders are pros like you guys so some snakes could definitely be more stressed than a well taken care of snake.
