I've been binge watching a bunch of your videos this weekend. Seen lots of beautiful animals. Every video is educational, has something to take away. This one by far is the most compelling and true to form. More people should see this AND internalize it. This video needs more views. It's always been about human behavior & how you can change the masses collective perception. A 100,000 Blessings to you. Keep lighting the way!
This is very spot on. I’ve had snakes since I was 9 years old. All types, taken several bites, wild caught and captive bred. My father was pretty strict about what I could keep depending on how my relationship was with the animal. I’ve had some psychos but I’ve also had some amazing great relationships with the animals. The thing with snakes is it’s kinda like going on a date you will know within 60 seconds whether this bond is going to work because you are going to be interacting with this animal everyday for how ever long time will tell
I just retired on 1 Aug 2024 after serving 26 years in the army and I am struggling with adjusting to civilian life. I’m trying to figure out what is next….Im glad I’ve discovered your channel!! I love all of my snakes! Especially my Burmese and reticulated pythons. I’ve just poured my extra time in to them.
Tim this was the most interesting and informative Video I have seen. It had hit home in so many levels and I had to watch it twice. Thanks for sharing all this and I hope people pay attention and really understand that interaction between animals and people are a lot alike and compassion an information and patience and understanding is key to getting along with any Human or animal is out there and I thank you so much for your service and for putting this on your station. I just hope people listen to you and do the right thing. Thank you again for your time of making these videos and informing us about knowledge is power and, if we take the time to learn we make less mistakes. As my dad used to tell me everything you do has a consequence it can be good or bad and in life that's so true. And you can't blame your parents or the neighbor or the fact that your life didn't go perfect because nobody's life is perfect everybody has problems but you have to look inside yourself And see what reflect back at you. I hope that in my life personally , that I can say I have learned a lot to my 67 years of living and making a lot of mistakes but Everything you said in this video really hit home for me thank you again for your time and I hope to see a lot more videos from you. GOD Bless
great video and great topic, i really think this video should be shared a lot more for more people to see/ hear and understand, because yeah if so many people were to just stop and evaluate a person before pressing their buttons there would be much less interactions and or "accidents" that happen out in the world.
Thanks, and yea...ive never really picked up any local accents when I move. My daughter however sounded like Ellie May 2 months after moving down south, lol.
Fascinating topic. Everybody thinks snake keepers are all 19 year old dudes with tattoos and piercings living in their parents' basement with a bunch of snakes. Reptile keeping has entered its middle-aged cat lady era. 😉
Humans are the most savage species on earth. Snakes kill to eat! There are humans that kill for sport and fun. I'm here to learn about snake behavior so I can make sure my new baby Boa is healthy and happy. I had a ball python years ago that loved people. He would crawl right on to you to come out of his enclosure and hang out. The hard part was putting him back, he didn't want to go to bed. My baby Boa doesn't trust me yet. I don't want to force handle him and possibly make him aggressive. Monitors are easy, you can tell what they are thinking by the way they look at you and their posture. My Boa just sits there. You see his little eyes follow your movements so I know he's awake. I assume he's scared because he doesn't move closer to check me out. I am trying to break the ice by giving him a gentle pet along his side. After hearing what your regular job is, I bet your pets are the only thing keeping you sane. I know there are evil people out there but you get daily exposure to it at your 9-5. People think reptiles are evil because of movies and even the Bible. As reptile owners we know our reptile won't hurt us just for the thrill. Except Nile monitors! Mine used to bite me just to see what I would do. I miss him still even though he was a jerk.

Thank you for the kind words! That's the goal is to really break through with non-keepers and help new folks have the best experiences they can!
