- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Cobras, anacondas, rattlesnakes, coral snakes and reticulated pythons are all deadly snakes. They kill, and sometimes even eat people. And yet, people keep them as pets. So how dangerous are these snakes? And what are some alternatives that are as awesome as these snakes, but not so dangerous?

Q: Which snake do you think Clint most resembles or embodies the spirit of?
I think he's more of a gecko than a snake with his energy, but because he's so high energy maybe a garter? Under appreciated but very endearing, and fun to watch lol. Plus they're one of the more social species.
@@canid9073 good call! perhaps I should have phrased the question as which *reptile*.
I was thinking maybe ball python or a corn snake. Something friendly and curious, but lithe and agile.
Perhaps a tree snake?
False water cobra or a corn snake
@@canid9073 Has to be a retic! Gotta go with the smartest snake because Clint's on-point :-)
the snake in the garden of eden. The manner in which he talks is disturbingly uncanny and sets off one's threat detection immediately.
RIP Lilith. You'll be remembered you for your cantankerousness.
What happened to Lilith?
What is so special about Snake Island? The world's most dangerous Island.Ilha de Queimada Grande
th-cam.com/video/9EhByl_eHdw/w-d-xo.html
Aww she died? What a shame
@@BeautifulPeopleBTFLPPL that's why the island is banned to ppl
R.I.P. Lilith. 😔
Prof. Clint, you will always have my respect! Here in Brazil (at least in São Paulo), the anaconda ia by FAR the most feared animal… Much more feared then Bothrops and Crotalus… Its like people fear the dragons of legend, much more then the real snake
As pessoas não tem mais medo de cobra peçonhenta por aqui? Acho que eu ouço falar mais de jararaca e coral do que de sucuri
@@something9105 Nossa não mesmo, brasileiro não sabe dizer a diferença entre uma jiboia e uma jararaca digo isso pq meu pai fez isso hahahaha povo aqui não conseguem superar o role de que cobras são animais incríveis mas pensam que são demonios, entao assim, eu já vi mt mais mortes de anaconda por humanos do que qualquer outras cobras. Mas o brasileiro mata qualquer cobra que vê na reta então então dizer.
PS.meu pai não matou a jiboia kkkkk era uma filhote e ele chamou a polícia ambiental
@@something9105 sobre a coral tb acho que são mt notórias e causam medo, mesmo as falsas pq ninguem sabe a diferenca na vida real, o povo quer nem saber so mata ou sai correndo vê aquele macarrao vermelho preto e amarelo e desesperam querem nem saber kkkkkkkkk não recebemos educação suficiente sobre.
As a Canadian it’s kinda crazy to think about snakes as big as Anacondas being out in the wild. Huge respect to you bros in Brazil and other countries with hugely dangerous snakes that live there!
When I was a kid my parents would take in a lot of exotic pets because people would get them and the realise they can't look after them or they're getting too big. One day someone brought us a young snake, maybe a 6 months old and told us it was a false water cobra and it was too aggressive to look after. After caring for it for a couple years she became more docile but was still skittish and my parents also noticed that she was looking less and less like a false water cobra and more like some breed of hognose. After doing some investigating my mum found out it was actually a Madagascian giant hognose and the reason it was so aggressive when we first got it was because at the time there was only a few in captivity so they were being caught in the wild. Obviously now that she was in Scotland and was kept in captivity from a young age we couldn't exactly just take her back to Madagascar to let her go. So my parents decided they would be better off just keeping her. She ended up becoming a really friendly snake and when she is happy she hisses gently and start drooling venom like she is purring. She also likes wearing her water bowl as a hat. When people learned we had a female Madagascian hognose my mum would get emails and messages every other week asking to buy her. Some were offering upwards of £3000. She's my mums favourite snake though and she would never sell her, she's still alive today, must be at least 15 by now.
what a fantastic story! She sounds like a real sweetheart of a snake -
Awesome =)
honestly you should try and breed her, the more captive bred of a species there are available, the less they’ll be taken from the wild
I agree with Thomathy here! Not necessarily about what your Mom should or shouldn't do with her snake, but if she breeds, it would be an excellent snake to work into that breeding part of the 'hobby'. Easy market availability of threatened/endangered species can just utterly collapse the trade in wild caught specimens. And that's good for everyone but the trappers/smugglers.
I live in North Carolina and the number of times I've seen folks killing corn snakes and calling them baby copperheads makes me so sad. At this point my friends know to call me when they see a snake or spider they think are spicy, but it still sucks.
We share your pain, we live live in SC and we encounter the same issue, every snake is a copperhead. Smh
@Loquin Britton Fellow North Carolinian snake lover here and I share your pain!
wut. distinguishing between the two is super easy. unfortunately, in parts of NC copperheads are far more prevalent. it's just reality.
I’m not sure if i’ve told you about this story before, however this reminded me about my experience with a supposedly “dangerous” rattle snake that fits in so well with what you said.:
When i was going to CWU they had a reptile exhibit in the wall of an area i often used for studying, there were a number of displays, but one which most people avoided, but that i always loved was the home of their rattlesnake, i had a friend who got the job to tend them (was two years ahead of me) and told me about the story of the snake after seeing that it always slept against the glass when i was near, well and after “the incident”. Turns out the old girl was something close to 36 years old and was the first, and only remaining original generation tenant from that wing’s displays being created, she was 100% blind, about 87% deaf, constantly tried to escape, and hated/feared basically everyone, never coming out from her safe spot except when she made a break for it or to go after the “evil alien invaders who drop off food” as my friend swears she thought of them. Anyway, after like 3 weeks of me reading my books or using my laptop there consistently, she managed to escape, i thought she was just sleeping or being cleaned or something, then i felt her hugging my ankle. My friend came out in a panic (he had leaned over to grab the food and she apparently got out when he turned for a sec) saw me with her there (at the time had not yet told me about her) but luckily i was just very calm and just talked calmly to her like i do most wild creatures (we think she could feel my voice and smell that i was calm or something) and he carefully walked over and asked if i was okay, he went, got help and a transport container, and put her back away. Afterward he told me about her, after talking to the staff and stuff i got to go see her a few times over the next couple months, since apparently after getting to see her she was calm for like a week or two which was unheard of during the 36 years, the next time she got out (about 3ish months later) my friend just walked out calmly, and from the door (not even looking) asked “hey Connor, you got her?” And i was like “yep, dont worry, i have a fresh cocoa, a scone, and my book, she is fine, just leave me a bed for her in a bit” and sat and read my book to a snake for a few hours till she got sleepy and i put her in her little nest. As far as i know she is still alive there, a sweet old girl that just can’t hardly interact with the world around her, so I’m glad i could make her life a bit better in her old age while i was there. Sadly i wasn’t in that area for much after that, only getting to stop in on rare occasions. Even the “scary” creatures in life usually are just someone that needs some love and care, though i do know that this is of course a rare and not the normal interaction, but its still a great one that i like to tell people to show them that not everything that they have been told to fear is some evil monster.
That was an amazing read haha. Became best friends with a rattlesnake everyone else avoided. I bet its because you visited her when nobody else did, she probs had some level of trust/respect for you or something to be like “hey, that aint a bad guy”😂
@@CocoCrispy_ possibly so haha. Not the first nor the last dangerous animal i have bonded with lol
Do an April video about snake plants as pets. They are great! They are easy, and come in lots of variety. It would also be funny. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
That would be hilarious
That would be a delight. Love Snake Plants and Snakes!
"and they can't dropp their tail, which is neat!" XP
Super dwarf retics and false water cobras are definitely two of my all time favorites. I hope I can find someone who sells them, but here in austria it's hard to find anything else than ball pythons and cornsnakes
Check out Egyptian false cobras. I just learned of them and am seriously interested in one.
How do your vlogs keep getting better and more polished??? (Jason! Michelle!) Kidding! It's totally a group effort. Loved the comparisons! Marlin has quite the rep, when I realized who it was,said, "don't bite yourself!" I had Marlin anxiety! Stretched out straight on the table with him was a wise choice instead of being curled in your hand. Shelby has grown and calmed so much from the whippy mini-danger noodle that was. Really smooth. I would have loved to have seen Leisha presenting to the kids! All skill sets wrapped together.
Looks like you and Shelby are doing great together after that rocky start 😁
Your vids are awesome, Clint! Thanks for doing what you do brother!
I think the case about hognoses mimicking rattlesnakes is stronger with southern hognoses and pygmy rattlesnakes, and people extend it further than there's necessarily a case.
Southerns don't just have the same cryptic colors as pygmy rattlesnakes, but also the same red scalation between their dorsal colors.
I also think there's a case to be made for the prairie rattlesnake and plains hognose, but in that case it's about audio mimickry rather than color. I've definitely noticed that my huffiest hognose makes a sound that sounds a hell of a lot like a rattlesnake rattle when hissing. Which definitely seems like it's it's own special adaptation rather than a coincidental similarity, because she only ever makes it when hooded up.
Edit: as in, it seems like she has to hood up to make that sound. It's really visible if you watch her neck since it clearly constricts the muscles in a novel way when she does it. Id appreciate your thoughts there though because it's definitely something I'd want to study specifically.
And for the eastern hognose snake and the massasuga rattlesnake
Hognoses hooding up makes their face look a lot more viper-like than it usually does, which helps the rattlesnake mimicry too.
When I was little I bathed in a lake in Sweden and kid me could have sworn to have seen a Milk snake swimming in the Lake.
It was likely a grass snake yet I remember the red, black and white colouration so vividly 😮
Rainbow boas are infinitely cuter than other anacondas anyway. Adorable wedgeheads!
To me, hognose snakes are some of the cutest snakes! Their little upturned noses are so cute ❤
Aww rest in peace beautiful Lilith ❤️
“and… these are… not notoriously nice…” another quote in my quote files haha
I appreciated the Steve Irwin impression and reference, the "Danger Danger Danger." Made me grin. 😁
Whats really interesting are the snakes people think are nonvenomous yet ARE..garter snakes, ringneck snakes, and even hognose snakes.
Bonus for the North American people. If you want a fairly similar looking snake to the venomous Australian Red Bellied Black snake, the Mexican Black King, or the Eastern Indigo snake are pretty similar, minus the red belly, unfortunately.
I love the pattern of the hognose 😁
I'm literally getting a brazilian rainbow boa later this year, hopefully in the near future. If you want I can send you pics when I have it, to show you the coloration and pattern I end up getting.
I love this video. I was like "that ain't a coral snake! That ain't an anaconda!" Hahaha
I love lists like these! Keep em coming clint!
I remember hearing an old rhyme in Florida about coral and milk snakes I think it went “red touching yellow, he’s a killer fellow. Red touching black you’re ok jack”
Works in Florida. Don't take it outside of the US.
i love how many different variations there are of this
I would add northern water snake to the list as they are often mistaken as a cottonmouth.
Well done, Sir. Looking forward to the Egyptian False Cobra video. Encountered them in the Middle East years ago.
The worst part about rattlesnakes being killed unnecessarily near where I live is that they are extremely endangered in my state.
I wouldn't mind a woodi Cobra, those are pretty cool
Another example might be the Gaboon viper/Rhino viper and the two Acrantophis species, both lurker predators that hide in dead leaves and (to a layman) have similar camouflage patterns for it.
i would love to hear your opinion on a movie called Silent Predators which revolves around a city in the US that gets infested with a hybrid spieces of rattlesnake that came into being because some people were transporting another spieces of rattlesnake not native to the US 20-30 years earlier but they got in an accident and that rattlesnake got loose.
I love the rhyme for figuring out whether you've got a coral snake or a non-venomous version (like a milk or king snake). "Red to black, venom lack. Red to yellow, kill a fellow." You don't even have to recite the whole rhyme to figure out what you're dealing with. Catch sight of red then yellow, AVOID. Catch sight of red then black, take care because it's still a wild animal but you're probably fine to pass near if you need to get by.
Works sometimes
Probably best practice to just not approach a stripey wild snake, just to be safe.
Man love this video love all your videos!!
The plains hognose does resemble a Pygmy rattler tho. Not your classic diamond back, but the pygmies have much more similar patterns to the hoggies.
Which vemonoys snake replacement would I add?
Green mamba - Gonyosoma oxycephala
Your milk snake is beautiful. Love the name.
I remember watching a doco when I was a kid about snakes and it mentioned the red, black and yellow banded snakes. I still can't remember the name of either but I DO remember: Red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black venom lack.
African Rock Pythons have also been documented to hunt, kill, and eat humans
true
I would like to see your suggestion as alternatives to eyelash and bush vipers. I have a feeling tree boas and tree pythons would be the closest alternatives.
Awesome video
Shelby the "Cobra". I love it!
Indigo snakes even pool like cobras 🤢my friend has a reptile store and she gave me the honour of cleaning out Cleo’s enclosure after a big feeding
Retics can be giant puppies. I love them so much. They're just not for beginners. 😂🐍
I'd like to see an updated blood python video once he is fully grown. Also really love boas, a video going through your boa collection could be cool.
Your videos are the best. Snakes are fascinating and watching your videos is one of my favorite activities I do to relax. Anyway I have been trying to identify a specific snake featured on the series SLASHER, in a scene with a snake pit trap in the woods, holding a variety of snakes. Given the subject of this video- snakes with appearances that mimic venomous snakes. Are y'all familiar with this series/ this scene? thanks for the excellent stuff...
So about those lacey act amendments.....
Red and black, friend of Jack; red and yellow, killer fellow.
watch this video he did about snake misconceptios and skip to 25:25 th-cam.com/video/f0vWEtnnrVQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9EaqEobuZSea8frL TLDR that rule only works MOST of the time, and only in north america, so basically don't rely on it.
I have never seen an indigo snake in person, but from what i've seen they don't look too much like king cobras. lol
No, they look like true cobras.
Is a fer-de-lance the best pet snake? Or perhaps an inland taipan?
Today I got bit by the school ball python while feeding her and I barely bled, and you can hardly see the bite mark.
Can we get a video on Egyptian false cobras? I just learned of their existence but there is very limited info on them available.
Maybe a cottonmouth/moccasin for a lake chapala garter snake?
Ah yes, smol versions of giant snakes "Yeah, i have an Anaconda"
That indigo snake was amazing!
Actually the longest verified retic was a little under 23 feet long, wild world has a pretty good video on it
R.I.P Lilith the Leucistic King Cobra.
Genuine question : why not get a ball python if you want a smaller version of a retic ? How is a dwarf reticulated python different from a ball ?
Which group would the Burmese python belong to? I'm just curious.
RIP Lilith. such a beautiful sassy girl. you are missed
Keeping an animal "captive" just because it's dangerous or appears dangerous is the definition of ego
Snake videos, my favorite kind of video!
are there any poisonous snakes (not venomous, but poisonous)?
Yes, but not in the US
See this is why I wear chains, spikes, bright colors, and have bright dyed hair. Yes you can eat my but I won't be fun coming out the other side
I wouldn't say a Boa is 'harmless'. Actually could be dangerous to children.
Hi Clint I’m a big inner reptile keeper which pet would you prefer leopard gecko or bearded dragon.
I've once read about a theory that the "false" coral snakes don't actually mimicry the real deal but are just generally aposematic and happen to look a lot like the actual coral snakes. The argument being that they don't share a habitat with the venomous species and thus predators wouldn't have learned to fear this particular colouration but just brightly coloured snakes in general.
Before I found this channel I thought of reptiles as basically robots, with no real awareness of anything beyond their instinctual needs. I didn't even know snakes could move their eyes, let alone look at anything with interest. Now I wonder how smart very large snakes are. They can't be stupid at that size.
Goes to watch anacondas wrap prey….back now.
Hey 8:54 is the snake in 3 grade that gave me a love of gorgon girls… and snacks
I find it funny how u can get a cobra for around 250 bucks but a eastern indigo snakes it at least 1000
Instead of the African rock python get a ball python or Angolan python.
Instead of inland taipan get a black headed python or a woma python.
We go to every rattle snake round up. We have full pockets of cash to offer it in exchange. We r very successful. We tell them that people ask us where the snakes go we say for food. We also say to private individuals who want them. It’s expensive as I’m in Kentucky, but is so worth it.
I've been bitten by my copperhead and my pygmy rattler once each. All though not much fun it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I learned to never assume they tame.
Hognosed snakes have heads that look like a subway train 🚇
Oh
That's what the rattle is for.
Wicked wickens reptiles?
Has Clint ever done anything with Tyler Nolan??!!
Also has someone from the US and the South I'm kinda sad Water Moccasin or a Copperhead wasn't on this list cause every time someone sees a black snake or a banded water snake that's the first thing they think.
Could make video spreading the awareness of the America COMPETES Act of 2022 like tarantula collective and Aquarimax Pets? This act could absolutely destroy pet trade and the animals businesses.
As if these haven't already been discussed. Please bring new content!
Interesting fact: coral snake antivenin halted production in North America years ago and all existing antivenin expired. Coral snake bites are so rare and the antivenin is so expensive that it just didn't make logistical sense to use scarce resources to produce it for how often it is needed. The FDA extended the expiration date because the remain supply was all that was available. I work in healthcare and we looked into this a while back. That said, I've heard they might have restarted production in the last 2-3 years but I'm not sure.
Crazy!
@@ClintsReptiles I'm pretty sure the reason it was discontinued was because it was an equine-derived antivenin and the last horse with the antibodies had died. Also there's conjecture that the tropical coral snake antivenin still produced elsewhere is probably also effective at treating NA coral snakes
@@wyyyve That would be very likely, as in Australia, where all vemonous land snakes are of the same group as coral snakes. Equine derived tiger snake antivenin could be used for bites where the actual snake was unknown; This was the late 80's, and I am pretty sure there is better and safer, non-equine antivenin for this now.
Did you know they use pretty much the same antivenom for pretty much all pit viper bites in the US

Great list! False water cobra is a dream snake for me. I love their big eyes and they feel so cool to handle. Sadly I'm just out of room in my house for another big enclosure that would do them justice.
They are without a doubt one of the coolest snakes, period.
Check out Egyptian false cobras , they never get talked about and are arguably easier to keep because they are a desert snake and require very little humidity.
@@nadagainagain4987 They are pretty cool. Love the big eyes on them too!
I love them too. They’re illegal where I live, though.
I already have a Mexican black kingsnake and one day i want a false water cobra, an indigo and garter snakes. I.love.them.all.
I'd add the diamondback watersnake, Nerodia rhombifer. As their name implies, these snakes are marked by a very prominent reticulated pattern that resembles that of the western diamondback rattlesnake. They have keeled scales like rattlers. They can get very large, every bit as big as a western diamondback. And they can flatten their head out, superficially mimicking the hallmark ace-shape of pit viper heads. Despite their fearsome appearance, these snakes are non-venomous, and, having kept several as pets in my youth, I can vouch that their reasonably docile if properly socialized. When threatened, they will secrete a foul-smelling musk, and, in my experience, they were never as chill as, say, garter snakes, but much more than king snakes. For a fairly mellow snake that superficially resembles rattlesnakes, reaches 2 meters or more in length, and is very common in the southeastern United States, I'm surprised these aren't more widely discussed.
Same for water snakes being mistaken for water moccasins/cottonmouths.
#1, baby corn snake. This little danger noodle has a bite that will end anyone and is far to squirmy to be handled. At least, that is what mine wants you think. She is a bit sassy.
Such a vicious noodle, so adorable you will die.
My ball python is honestly weirdly affectionate. She's learnt that her water getting spilled = her getting held so she'll do it intentionally while staring at me.
My boa is so sweet and tolorating she has never hissed or tried to bite me and you can just take her from The enclosure even when shes sleeping, and every person can hold her without beeing afraid🐍🐍
I've really hoped you'd make a video like this. It reminds me of Wicken's Wicked Reptiles.
Helping people learn that reptiles aren't mean or dangerous (in most cases) is one of the most satisfying things about the reptile hobby.
That's funny because he copied us in making videos like this.
@@ClintsReptiles
OHHHH shots fired *air horn noises*
He acknowledged this to be the case.
@@ClintsReptiles never thought id see you being so passive-aggressive lol
@@ClintsReptiles this is a genuine question and not meant to be disrespectful but how irked are you about his video formats?
If I could make a suggestion, I would love to see a video about pigeons. It kinda sucks how arguably the best pet bird in terms of care vs personality is almost unknown as a pet, when they're one of the oldest domesticated birds and one of the friendliest. And when I say oldest, they're in the same wheelbarrow as horses, for how long they've been domesticated and how there's no truly wild populations left, Przewalski's horse excluded.
The retics don’t actively hunt people at all. The issue was the habitat loss due to human activity causing their natural prey to die off causing scarcity and very hungry desperate snakes.
This needs more attention. We need to save the Retics!
Aren't they opportunistic eaters though? Yes sadly many species habitats are being encroached on, so same can be said about bears, tigers, wolves, etc. If one thinks about it humans really are invasive species sure some of us are beneficial and are mindful of our impact, but many are greedy and view the world as dollar signs. Sad fact is the more we encroach on their territory the more the incidents that will occur and the more people are going to stigmatize these amazing animals. It's sad to see it happen all over the globe. People really need to do more to preserve these spaces they were here first.
@@houndgirl7365 Yes they are opportunistic but they don't really go after humans or pick off our scent as food, it's not their natural diet, they would have actively hunt southeast asian people into their opened window huts otherwise. The habitat loss also means they loss their homes and more likely end up where people are living, a hungry snake at night mistaking a small person walking in the jungle more likely what happened.
@@houndgirl7365 Yes I hate how human activity is doing so much of this. Grey ratsnakes in Canada to the indigo snakes in the US. People also build homes in rattlesnake territory and kill them off when something bad happens. It's pretty sad
never make your pasta desperate, all youll get is danger noodles
Of the snake you have mentioned, I own: A female green anaconda, a reticulated python (mainland female), and 4 rattlesnakes (Timber, Prairie, breeding pair of western diamondbacks) and I absolutely LOVE THEM! do I think they’re worth keeping if you’re in the reptile hobby? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
My venomous snakes live in a separate building, in a room which is kept under lock and key and monitored by CCTV. Recently my female western diamondback attempted an escape but was thwarted by CCTV.
My retic and green anaconda will need an entire room to themselves just like my Nile monitor, Savanna monitors, and Asian water monitor. There’s no doubt about that.
These animals are incredible and unique, and for only the 1% of reptile keepers who are willing and able to throw tens of thousands of dollars down the drain, ok with possibly being grievously injured, have hours and hours (at least 10) a day and are committed to the hobby. I see 15-18 foot retics on Craigslist everyday with people desperate to get rid of them and it’s so heartbreaking
Just so you know Clint, you are watched from Brazil. You, among other channels, are turning my fear of snakes into admiration. Fascinating animals they are, and so are other reptiles.
Hope you keep the good work going. I'll be on the journey from now on!
seeing the footage of Lilith made me so sad she was a beautiful snake who was taken from this world too soon
I've never been scared of snakes (in general) in my life due to learning how to identify them at an early age. But I once saw an Eastern Indigo snake or "coach whip" in the wild and it put the kind of fear in me that you get when you think you just saw some kind of mythical beast like Bigfoot. I didn't even know anything like that existed in the US at the time. Apparently they're a very rare sight.
Eastern indigos are awesome. Like 5 mins from where I live there was an area that had abnormally high numbers and they suspected it was a natural nursery. There were signs up everywhere telling you it was a protected snake and don't kill them. A year later a glassmaker bought the property, burned the woods and built a business. I was crushed.
I love Clint. He's such freakin unique individual. I can't think of anyone with a similar personality or mannerisms. He's perfect as a media presenter. He's just interesting to watch and hear and so knowledgeable and instructive
This is common in tropical animals, but can be seen from animals from other climates. But, if it has bright colors, it's probably venomous.
By far the most memorable snake sighting I've ever had in the wild was a coral snake in a state park in Texas. Just a beautiful, little dude from whom we kept our distance.
Whenever I see a hognose and false water cobra my heart explodes with joy. They're so adorable. I will get me a plains hognose one day, as FWC are not legal where I live.
Clint, can you do the MORAY EEL? I've read that they can make good pets and also that they have long-ish lifespans.
That would be cool!
Can you do a post about the lacey act making its way to the senate? It would ban interstate transportation of all pet reptiles
In the meantime we all need to write our senetors. I did. Tell them about the concerns of the lacey act changes withing the COMPETES act
@@meshelllabaun6610 I did that but I feel like it's already too late. I didn't even know about it til last night. I had dreams of one day importing and breeding rare species. This all seems hopeless now
Gaboon viper as the deadly snake, and blood pythons as the alternative, since they're both heavy bodied and awesome snakes. I just love the opportunity to see both of them in videos, hahaha. Gaboon vipers are among my favorite snakes, though I'd never keep one myself. Great list though, always enjoy your videos!
You're the science professor we all wished for in school/college (I love biology, anatomy and the physiology, animal science, botany, I like learning about living organisms and creatures lol)... My kids and I both love watching your channel.
(We now have two ball pythons btw 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤣)
I'd never consider a hot, but I would love to be in a place in life where I could create a huge enclosure for an anaconda. Such cool creatures.
awe the clips of Lillith are awesome. She was such a special white cobra. She's dearly missed. RIP dear one.
I also love the shots of KIlo, tylers white cobra male
