She doesn't just read the text book. More importantly she seem to really care about the topic and her enthusiasm is infectious.

    so I have autism and I have developed a need to always pair two very specific activities together. one auditory stimulation + something to do with my hands, for example: true crime podcasts + solitaire. somehow my brain has decided to always watch your videos while I shave my legs. it’s quite odd but honestly comforts me in some weird, autistic way.
    anyway keep it up so I can have shiny legs.

      This is a rather interesting coping mechanism for autism. Funny that I often feel the need to do multiple things at once, myself (I think it might be an OCD thing?), and never tested as autistic.
      Though, I have only been tested twice in my long life (teenager & ≈25), each time when being evaluated for depression. That was over 30 years ago. I should do it again, since a bad thing happened in 2020 that I'm still not recovered from, but... current insurance doesn't cover it, and I'm broke as _~bleeping bleep~_ because of said bad thing. No Starbucks or whatever to cut out, no eating out to cut out, nothing at all to cut out except perhaps move to even cheaper foodstuffs (Aldi to Dollar Tree, for example).
      Anyway, it's pretty freaking interesting to me that the same type of coping mechanism can help multiple problems. Have a good shave! 👋🏼😄👍🏽

    Fellow snake mom here!! My ball python works as an animal ambassador for grade school kids, and it’s always really fun to show students her claws (they’re small but still visible). It’s a great way to introduce kids to the concept of evolution and how different animals are related to one another.
    Also Valentino is so cute!!!! And thank you for setting a good example and not letting him interact with your cat. I’ve seen waaaay too many videos of people letting their cats and snakes interact and it’s always concerning. Even the most docile and friendly cats still have a prey drive, and it’s never worth the risk of a bite or scratch to your snake.

    When you started mentioning your stressors it triggered two memories of when my ball python "Monty" got lost in my apartment. I wanted to raise it so it felt free & roam around in a way & not just live in a cage. He would love to take baths in shallow water in the tub 🛁. One day he was on my living room carpet and he disappeared while I was distracted with friends and I couldn't find him FOR A WEEK! I thought I lost him forever. Then one day I'm opening my dishwasher and the steam rises up into my face and there is my snake, climbing between the countertop and the dishwasher in this little crack. 2nd time, I was getting a new larger used tank and had to make a temporary lid. With weights and a window screen. Well he "the mellow trickster he is" found a way to sneak off for a day until I hear my girlfriend let out a sequel from upstairs. I run up and there is my python, In My FISH tank, on a tree branch that I had setup in the water for my 2 Black & Orange 🖤 🧡 Oscar fish. "Jackal & Hyde" lol 😆 so here I am trying to fish Monty out of the fish tank lol. It all worked out in the end. After that, my snake was so chill that even my 2 cats & young dog could hang out in the living room on the floor. I spent a lot of time working on exposing the cats and dogs from a young age to the snake and they all got along but I would still be right there with them. Still. Good times. Good times.

    Omg I love snake evolution thank you for covering this! My favorite tidbit about snake genetics is that they also evolved duplicates/mutations of Hox genes which allowed them to have an elongated thoracic (chest) cavity. And what went with that was essentially ribs all down their body and really hecking long organs (the heart and lungs of a snake are so long in comparison to legged animals lmao). This is another key difference between snakes and lizards that I learned in my zoology courses: snakes are like 2/3 body and 1/3 tail, while lizards are 1/3 body and 2/3 tail (in a figurative sense).

    (One thing tho: the snake's jaw doesn't unhinge. The jaw isn't connected at the middle, so they have no chin. They can therefore open up their mouth really big and use specific muscles on the different sides of their jaw to pull in their pray. Their cranium is also seperated, held together by veeery flexible ligaments)

    I'm so glad you say "hypotheses" instead of "theories"... I've seen too many science education TH-camrs who still say "theory" when they really mean "hypothesis". In regular colloquial discussions, it's not a big deal to use them interchangeably. In science discussions, the distinction is REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT, especially in this current era where there is so much anti-science sentiment.

    So interesting! Our crew got access to an island in Brazil where no human is allowed, only snakes! The island is the house of two thousand golden lanceheads. They ended up there when the glaciers melted and sea levels rose; the island became separated from the Brazilian mainland. Of course, they got much smaller since then, but still, it's amazing to see the footage that we got of the snakes everywhere and how they manage to survive since there are no other mammals living there.

    5:07 Snakes, contrary to popular belief, do not unhinge their jaw. Their lower jaw bones (mandibles), unlike most animals, are not fused together. "Instead, stretchy ligaments bind these moveable pieces of a snake’s jaw in place-until it’s time to dive into a big meal. Loosely joined at the back of the skull, their mandibles permit greater rotation than most animals. As a result, snakes can open their mouths wider than their bodies".

    True story- my brother had a snake that he named wormy because he's a genius. Wormy was a little shit. He was meant to be a corn snake but he was so aggressive that we think he was maybe crossed with a rat snake. Lots of of lunging and biting.
    One day we went on holiday and sent wormy to live at some friends for a few weeks so that they could look after him. This friend accidently left wormies terranium open and the sucker slithered out. We thought that was it, goodnight wormy, God bless, may you rest in peace. BUT NO. One day, a good five years later, my friend was sat in his bedroom on his computer. He looked out his window, which overlooks his back garden, and in the trees he sees something long and thin moving. It was wormy and he. Was. HUGE. I can't describe the size of anything without exaggerating so I'm not gonna bother guessing the size, but he was a big boy. Wormy had been happily living in the wilds of South east London for half a decade, getting those natty gains and being a free-range bad boy.
    Weird side note - around this time, there were also lots of missing pet posters being put up in that area. Now I don't wanna take 2 and 2 and make five, but there is a chance, however slight, that my brothers snake was eating the neighbourhood dogs.
