I love these videos. They make me a nervous wreck. Like watching a good horror/suspense movie. How many times would I have died in this video... Lets see... I would probably get bit here 1:44 Here 2:25 here 3:29 here 9:16 here 12:54 & definitely here 19:31
hi my name is Sarah Dishmon and I am very huge fan...ever since I found u on TH-cam I can't stop watching ur videos...i love each and every snake that u have but my 3 all time favorite snakes is the black beast Mr. sniffs and Gabby which I miss her so much and of course the goofy Elivs lol...keep doing what u love to do...ur so excellent and also very BRAVE!!😀
I captured a 4 inch garter snake in my yard today. That's enough excitement for me. but I watch every one of your videos Viperkeeper. Thanks for the great videos.
I've always been fascinated by venomous snakes almost to the point of wanting to keep a few, watching you sates that appetite. You do a great job please keep the videos coming.
Hello Mr. Coritz this is my first comment, and I must say your videos are quite entertaining and educational as well. I have actually found myself using some of your techniques with my own collection as well. I don't have to worry about being envenomated, yet i try to use some of your techniques. Thank you for posting these videos to show the folks that snakes are not the evil creatures that most of the populatation perceives them to be. Again thank you for your work and enthusiasm, and also stay safe with your work with these amazing creatures
chizoioioi Google has really screwed the pooch on the comment system. I was notified of your response when you wrote it (I think), but couldn't get it to show up until now. I don't know which vid has VK talking about the acquisition. It was a long time ago.
Wow the Elvis part was quite a thrilling end. I got goosebumps when he got up and looked you straight in the eyes. I greatly appreciate the way you handle and care about your snakes, just be careful please. No video whatsoever is worth getting a bite for... Take care :)
It always give me a giggle when you announce to one of the snakes "No, I'm not a tree!" Sorry to see Slinky's lump has gotten large and hope the Panacur will help reduce it. I always worry about what's going on under the surface when assessing something like this that is so highly visible on the outside. Gosh, the Black Beast is a gorgeous critter! Enjoy seeing him out
The lump sort of exploded all over the cage during his last shed. I put him in isolation and cleaned it up. He was not happy with me but it's healed well with no sign of re-occurance.
I wish Mr. Brown had been a part of this showcase. But, it was nice to see Slinky and the Black Beast. I don't spend as much time around the lair as I used to.
Aww I hope Slinky's growths are nothing bad :) he's such a curious little mamba. Of course, you would know them better but it seems to me I would rather have Slinky climb on me than Elvis! Slinky seems more calm and predictable...or maybe it's a venom issue that you would rather hold a king than a mamba?
Awesome. Being around snakes, venomous or non venomous, you get to know them. I had a couple Rattlesnakes in California years ago. Twice I let one crawl on my arm while supporting his body with same arm. I just git use to the snakes attitudes and knew when I could and wouldn't, but would never suggest it. Great video as usual. Peace
F*****g stop taking risks Al . Not cool , but you are & your fans and snakes need you. You have taught me so much over the years , don't forget the golden rules . An avid fan since 2008.
Life is not without risk. The "risk's" I take are calculated based on experience and the animals I working with. I'm far more likely to be bitten in the day to day "routine" tasks around the lair.
How is Slinky? I really enjoy the videos you share starring Slinky, he is so interesting to watch and seems like such a great snake....gentle and full of personality.
You have such laid-back snakes. Elvis is amazingly laid back for a king...sometimes, Slinky's just an avid explorer, and Black Beast is able to be touched and without a bite or spit. Are you some sort of snake whisperer or something?
Do snakes ever lose track of their tails? For example when they roll over their own tails they get frightened. Or see their tail move and don't know it's their tail
Great show, as always. Do you know Prof. Harry Greene? I am just reading his book "Tracks and Shadows". Good read so far. Are there any snakes you consider too dangerous to keep yourself?
Hi Viperkeeper, I've watched lots and lots of your videos these last few years, and I've never heard you mention it, so I wonder... Have you ever had an unintended escapee??
Thanks for your videos! Is it vision cages that your are using or which is your favourite? I am also wondering which locks are the best? Most of them doesnt allow the glass to slide properly. I like the ones that the cage needs to be totally closed to be able to put the lock on. But I dont know what brand/manufacturer I should look for. Whats your recommendation Viperkeeper?
I haven't seen this video yet, but the title excites me. I also meant to ask you if you had any other channels to follow that I might enjoy if I love yours so dearly?
The comfort levels of different snakes is very real. I rarely ask questions but are there any snakes with a highly aggressive trait historically that you feel comfortable around at the same level as the Jameson? I know certain venomous snakes are more docile than others, I'm interested to know if there are snakes that have surprised you in their docility.
holy shit u have a mamba as a pet? holy shit i see its not wild but still i would keep like 3 feet away from this thing, even thouh i came in contact with diferent snakes
Sorry if you have answered this before, but could you tell me about differences in temperament between wild caught snakes and captive born both in the introductory phase and once they have warmed up to you? Most animals are more 'tame' or used to humans if they are raised by humans. But I was wondering if it might be that a wild snake would be less twitchy since it was exposed to more threats, it can differentiate between threat and non threat more easily than a captive born who only has their instincts to go on. In the wild it's probably obvious if a creature wants to eat you or is harmlessly sharing the same tree you live in. A captive snake pretty much only ever had it's enclosure. It relates to how dogs are less fear aggressive if as puppies you raise them to get used to many things, poor socialization leads them to see everything as an enemy and startle at paper bags. What do you think about it?
Евгений Урсуляк Oh I have many favorites in my collection. The King cobra's are fed rodents from the point of hatching. You have to not over feed the King Cobras with rats, since they are more nourishing than snakes.
Nerves like steel, but how often Mrs. Viperkeeper is thinking/scaring she is going to see her husband get bitten? I had to watch the part 20 times, where Elvis was on his quest of 'I will kiss you now by flickering my tongue Mr. Viperkeeper'. That really was "Wow" from here too. I just recently found your videos and I am watching/subscribing now. You make awesome and educational videos. Thank you very much. I have had gathered most of my information watching them and now being able to identify many serpents. Thank you so much. With Love from Finland, Land of the only one venomous snake, Vipera Berus. By the way, do you have this Viper in your facility?
you know you are really awesome one day i want to have as many venomous snakes as you do and send there venom for research you have inspired me thank you just keep making more videos and by the way my favorite snake is slinky i want to see more of him
I hope you live a long life man. You are a legend.
RA8IDP3NGUIN1 He sure is!
The "bridge" he used for slinky said KARMA on it XD
Poor Slinky. He got to be so close yet cannot touch the Viperkeeper! I loved this..
Poor slinky he really seems upset about you not wanting to cuddle....
your relationship with elvis is unreal it takes balls to grab a king like you did viperkeeper you sir are awesome love you and all your snakes
Just spent 3 hours watching your awesome snakes....ahh youtube, the end of productivity.
You handled Elvis like a puppy, I'm sure you were being careful but you had his mouth so close to your face, You are a brave man.
black beast might be the most docile cobra on the planet
You're treating your animals with so respect. We need more snakes need more snakes breeders like you
It's quite obvious that those particular snakes love you.
GOD DANG the end with Elvis! You have NERVES OF STEEL
That was my thought as well. I would have probably peed myself.
Love Elvis! What a firecracker
Black Beast, Elvis, and Mr Green are awesome as well. Thanks for the videos viperkeeper.
Slinky really wants to be friends! Poor guy.
Really, truly amazing footage of the "Slinkster" out and about with you, Al.
Also a shout out to Mrs. Viperkeeper for having the same enthusiasm for these wonderful animals
Wow, that last Elvis part was scary Al. Please stay alive :).
***** elvis was probably in a bad mood though
I wish ViperKeeper got so many more views and subscribers. He deserves it as being the best herpetologist on the TH-cam.
Wow, Slinky is the most chill snake I've seen in your collection.
I love these videos. They make me a nervous wreck. Like watching a good horror/suspense movie. How many times would I have died in this video... Lets see...
I would probably get bit here

The way you treat and act with these animals is just fantastic.
Your videos are always so Awesome, really enjoyed this one.
I have just started watching your videos and think they are great! I love slinky!
Man the Black Beast is such a badass looking snake. He's like the tactical ninja of the snake world. Another awesome video sir.
hi my name is Sarah Dishmon and I am very huge fan...ever since I found u on TH-cam I can't stop watching ur videos...i love each and every snake that u have but my 3 all time favorite snakes is the black beast Mr. sniffs and Gabby which I miss her so much and of course the goofy Elivs lol...keep doing what u love to do...ur so excellent and also very BRAVE!!😀
VIPERKEEPER ROCKS
I captured a 4 inch garter snake in my yard today. That's enough excitement for me. but I watch every one of your videos Viperkeeper. Thanks for the great videos.
The way the black beast's face is structured reminds me of a pitbull for some reason.
Great video as always! It seems like Slinky is acting somewhat like a teenager - the more you tell him 'no,' the more he wants to do it! :P
that would be a long answer
i love black beast rip im sorry for your lose
Great video, that part when the Philippine cobra had ASSHOLE! taped to its box, that was a laugh and a half.
great video. nice to see the black beast again and elvis being nutty as always. :)
I've always been fascinated by venomous snakes almost to the point of wanting to keep a few, watching you sates that appetite. You do a great job please keep the videos coming.
I found it funny that the brand of the snake hook is Karma. Great video, lovely animals.

Elvis for me is the best =)
Oh wow! Black Beast has such nice color, size and very nice scales.
What percentage of viewers know the story about Al procuring the black beast? "What, this thing spits?" LOL
If you know what vid that is please direct me to it!
chizoioioi
Google has really screwed the pooch on the comment system. I was notified of your response when you wrote it (I think), but couldn't get it to show up until now. I don't know which vid has VK talking about the acquisition. It was a long time ago.
Mystery Cobra or may be video where says look at bottom due to venom
Snakes I would love to keep if they weren't deadly to me. #1 a green mamba, they're so beautiful.
Snakes that people including myself wouldn't even dare mess with and your sitting at a table talking to them like nobody's business.
Elvis: "you stick things in my face all the time! how do you like me being in yours!!"
great stuff viper keeper. Thanks
great to see more of the black beast,really cool animal?thanks.
Wow the Elvis part was quite a thrilling end. I got goosebumps when he got up and looked you straight in the eyes. I greatly appreciate the way you handle and care about your snakes, just be careful please. No video whatsoever is worth getting a bite for... Take care :)
at 11:30 I thought that was another pointy end coming out of the orange bucket at first. Whew!
Personally Kermit is my favorite. I love Kermit
Me too!
Sir you have balls!! Congrats!
It always give me a giggle when you announce to one of the snakes "No, I'm not a tree!" Sorry to see Slinky's lump has gotten large and hope the Panacur will help reduce it.

viperkeeper Cellulitis? Dunno what its toxicity is in reptiles, but the one time I had cellulitis my doc gave me Clendamycin.
What a beautiful Mamba....thank you Slinky!
I wish Mr. Brown had been a part of this showcase. But, it was nice to see Slinky and the Black Beast. I don't spend as much time around the lair as I used to.
Love your videos
Black beast is like a nice uncle XD
How's that sphincter now with Elvis coming for a kiss like that?
Aww I hope Slinky's growths are nothing bad :) he's such a curious little mamba. Of course, you would know them better but it seems to me I would rather have Slinky climb on me than Elvis! Slinky seems more calm and predictable...or maybe it's a venom issue that you would rather hold a king than a mamba?
I love Mr & Mrs Brown. Always a lively couple.
All beautiful animals, I hope Slinky gets better he seems very well behaved.
He's doing very well.
Awesome. Being around snakes, venomous or non venomous, you get to know them. I had a couple Rattlesnakes in California years ago. Twice I let one crawl on my arm while supporting his body with same arm. I just git use to the snakes attitudes and knew when I could and wouldn't, but would never suggest it.
Great video as usual.
Peace
Black beast!!! The only snake that doesn't seem to terrify me
F*****g stop taking risks Al . Not cool , but you are & your fans and snakes need you. You have taught me so much over the years , don't forget the golden rules . An avid fan since 2008.

Fan favorites..You sure know your fans x)
I want to see more of Gabby ^_^ if I had a black spitter id name him Jafar ;)
i really like Elvis. This kind of personality is really interesting and a bit fun to see. Next time you should do some more minutes of filming Elvis.
How is Slinky? I really enjoy the videos you share starring Slinky, he is so interesting to watch and seems like such a great snake....gentle and full of personality.
The king is so scary. GREAT VIDEO
Love the videos keep up the great work and I love your collection!!!!
Breast implants hahahahaha
Thank you sir.
You have such laid-back snakes. Elvis is amazingly laid back for a king...sometimes, Slinky's just an avid explorer, and Black Beast is able to be touched and without a bite or spit. Are you some sort of snake whisperer or something?
Do snakes ever lose track of their tails? For example when they roll over their own tails they get frightened. Or see their tail move and don't know it's their tail

Do you know Prof. Harry Greene? I am just reading his book "Tracks and Shadows". Good read so far. Are there any snakes you consider too dangerous to keep yourself?
Yes
Elvis stopped my heart beat there for a second
Elvis is such a little butt.
you are one crazy guy viperkeeper
Did Slinky's scales grow back at the place where he was injured?
Question: I've never seen the Black Beast hood...does he ever display aggression? He's super placid for a Cobra.
Wow! These guys today really wanted to get up close and personal with you, LOL!
do snakes have a general, behavioral tell when they are going to be more aggressive due to hunger? Or, if any, does it widely vary?
I can tell the difference between a defensive posture and a feeding pose.
Slinky is awesome.
I've watched 19:23 about ten times now and it just gets funnier hahaha
bloody terrifying but awesome
Elviiiis you unpredactible son of a b... hahaha.that was close Al damn
slinky is cute, you have to admit it
Hi Viperkeeper, I've watched lots and lots of your videos these last few years, and I've never heard you mention it, so I wonder... Have you ever had an unintended escapee??
From the cage, yes. Mostly when I forget to shut the door. Never from the room.
I wouldn't want that Green Mamba to climb on me either.
Jamisons
Ya I like Black Beast
Elvis cool, mellow as ever - and BTW you are a madman - lol jk MADMAN I SAY!!!!
Be safe, Viperkeeper...be safe
Thanks for your videos! Is it vision cages that your are using or which is your favourite? I am also wondering which locks are the best? Most of them doesnt allow the glass to slide properly. I like the ones that the cage needs to be totally closed to be able to put the lock on. But I dont know what brand/manufacturer I should look for. Whats your recommendation Viperkeeper?
jonas wiktorsson Vision, although not perfect, they are the best option.
I haven't seen this video yet, but the title excites me.

I was wondering whats the species of snake that bares the label of asshole? And what's the story on that one.
Philippine cobra
holy shit u have a mamba as a pet? holy shit i see its not wild but still i would keep like 3 feet away from this thing, even thouh i came in contact with diferent snakes

I noticed a strange looking hole or dent in the center scale between The Black Beast's eyes (16:12). What's that from?
He had that when he arrived.
which snake is your favorite?
What do you feed Royal snakes?
How does the condition of the snakes when feeding them dead rats?
Thank you!
Евгений Урсуляк Oh I have many favorites in my collection. The King cobra's are fed rodents from the point of hatching. You have to not over feed the King Cobras with rats, since they are more nourishing than snakes.
yup, this is one for the "@viperkeeper favorites" bin.
These great animals need to be part of some sort of selective breeding experiment. it could make venom extraction so much easier.
Black beast is my favorite
🐍
Nerves like steel, but how often Mrs. Viperkeeper is thinking/scaring she is going to see her husband get bitten?

Inna Pöyhtäri Sorry, I referred to Slinky kissing you..
Wow! That ophiophagus. Does Mrs. Viperkeeper have her own collection? Can we see it?
Yes, she does but we don't make them public.
you know you are really awesome one day i want to have as many venomous snakes as you do and send there venom for research you have inspired me thank you just keep making more videos and by the way my favorite snake is slinky i want to see more of him
Slinky is in the Aug 1st video
You forgot Kermit!!
