Snake in a refrigerator!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- At Wildlife Aid, we only deal with British wildlife. However, there are always exceptions...
This time, it was an animal Simon is more than a little scared of; a snake! To make matters worse, this snake was a very very big python!! It was curled into the back of a fridge! Lets just say that the family was very surprised, and a little bit scared, to find such an animal there! It must have escaped from a pet shop or a private home.
Simon gathered all his courage and successfully rescued his first ever python!

What a beautiful baby! the contrast on that pattern! that puppy dog face! The absolute disregard for everyone's time! 10/10 would snake again.
I'll take "words I never thought I'd read about a snake" for 500, please.
Yesss indeed! Put a lil wizard hat on that pupper face cuz hez got meh under hisssspell.
WOW Very python much snek wow so cute pupper face snek much big snek boi COLD SNEK WoW.
mm yesssss
10/10 Would also snek again.
It's a Royal Python & comes from Africa so needs temps in the 90's up to 105 ish degrees & they are such soft & gentle natured (most of them) snakes. I expect she got quite ill from being in such low temperatures poor sweet girl. 🐍💕🐍
You know at the end of the video where he says "If you like our videos..." I always say, no I don't like your videos... I love them!!!
This channel has restored some of my faith in humanity
Poor little ballpython... I love snakes, I hope his little stint outside of his enclosure didnt leave him with any respiratory infections. A ballpython is probably the most docile snake you can own.
Agreed. I've got two of them. That one looked like a big female. Beautiful snake.
I've stroked a very large rock python, it took two people to lift him but he felt very nice and was quite well behaved other than the sheer size being hard to handle! He was from a local rescue/display place and I think the idea was to show and educate people about them. I thought he was lovely although obviously not so much as a pet for the average person.
@@ChrisAndCats I was allowed to touch a snake behind the scene as a child at a zoo. It didnt start my love for snakes, but it did help me consider getting into snake keeping. Even amongst snake keepers, you'll find few who can/want one of the biggest constrictors as a pet.
Especially when you get one with a sassy attitude.
@@Fyralynn he felt rather nice, and put up with being stroked without trying to go away so I don't think we were annoying him too much! I think you have to have an owner willing to invest proper time and money for exotic pets like these, it's sad when they are mistreated because they're harder than people thought (that of course applies to any animal). I hear you about pets with attitude though, my avatar is like that, she's a wild born rescue. Vet changed her card from Stripey to Naughty Stripey (also answers to Pants) and I can honestly say I have Dennis the Menace in fur. I love her like that though so I get their point!
Got to be kidding .!!!
Simon: goes toe to toe with terrified foxes, badgers, deer, etc. Also Simon: scared of a ball python
I was laughing at how cautious everyone was #•through most of the video. That is a ball python, a.k.a. The chilliest snakes ever. I'd have been shocked to see him bite.
Ikr
True - pythons don’t bite. They kill by crushing so everyone there was pretty safe.
@@susanc4622 yeah I mean this python was certainly big enough for that right?
@@TabalugaDragonno definitely not😂 not unless your a small rat
@@amandajackson668 I was being sarcastic.
Honestly, the way these videos are put together (and the level of professionalism, not to mention the amazing, uplifting content) seems like you folks should have your own television show. Do you guys have a television show there in the UK? Thanks!
We are on Discovery animal planet and channel 5 late at night, but atm we are trying to do more on youtube to reach a broader audience, but certainly wouldn't rule out another tv series in the future.
Wildlife Aid I love watching these videos. I'm a Brit living in the U.S. and it's great seeing all the wildlife rescues of the animals I grew up with.
Really glad you enjoy them Jasmine Van Schaick :)
That is a ball python they are completely harmless unless hungry or shedding or just threatened but their bites hurt less then a hamsters bite
but remember who is the one wrangling up the snake
While a pet ball python might not be able to kill you, it can certainly cause injury with a bite. Generally speaking, these are fairly docile snakes that tend to curl up and hide their heads when they feel threatened. ... Some ball pythons are aggressive and will bite their keepers if given the chance *yeah...harmless*
@@dayl3r Relatively harmless, then. Few animals are totally harmless.
Even knowing that, my body was tensing each way as he tried to urge the snake to come out calmly and safely. Beautiful snake.
@@judil3294 It is indeed a beautiful snake. And I say that not being a snake guy myself.
never be afraid of a cute ball python...super friendly and super chill
Aw, the poor thing. So glad he was helped.
Awww! I'm glad to hear he got a good home. I honestly would have been cooing and awwing the whole time. X3 I love reptiles!
"It's not a British snake..."
I'm embarrassed to admit I giggled myself silly trying to imagine how he knew that without hearing its voice. Yes, yes, too much Harry Potter for me. :P
+Sandra MacDonald He meant species....
Yes, I know that. ;)
Sandra MacDonald oop
***** we have 2 (possibly 3 but it's pretty much extinct) native species, adders, grass snakes (and smooth scale snakes.
***** kinda, they brumate, it's like hibernating but they still wake up to drink and occasionally eat if they really have to.
Look at that cute wee puppy face on that python aaa ;u;
The snoots are always cute~!
What a save, stunning python too!! :D Much smoother than when my Corn decided to go for a wander he was found behind a fridge, it took ages to get the thing out. They make great pets! :D
That's pretty scary, im not scared of them but having to wrestle with one is a different matter, Simon you're a hero
Snake in a refrigerator? That's even more far fetched than snakes on a plane!
Also, that must have been the first rescue that was more stressful for you than for the animal.
+Alex Bv lol xD
+Wildlife Aid Well if you ever needed to know, one way to get a constrictor like this to let go of a bite is to pour high proof alchohol over it's head. Fouls their senses something fierce and they typically let go.
+EvilCleric Can also try holding whatever they're biting under water. Eventually they have to choose between biting or breathing.
Rekka Riley Not always guaranteed though. Snakes can hold their breath pretty long
EvilCleric True. But it's the other tip by herp friends gave me whenever I had to handle their snakes while they were away.
Wow, you are amazing and brave! Thanks for rescuing the snake.
Thanks TK PrinPrin.
Rule one of cold-blooded animals: Don't live in Britain.
Rule two: Don't seek refuge within a refrigerator.
I mean.. what even?
The radiator on the back of refrigerators expel unwanted heat. So It's actually warm in there. Snakes wouldn't go there if it was cold :]
Worked great for Indiana Jones. ;)
The refrigerator is in storage, not connected to any power outlet: it is therefore warm. And he wasn't "inside" the fridge, anyway: he was inside the external radiator.
The back of the refrigerator is not cold just the inside of the refridge.
Love your sense of humor, Simon! Not to mention your courage!!!! :)
Simon: "Steady as a rock."
More like. More shakier then a dog in an earth quake.
+7dog123
Not just a dog...a chihuahua! :D
Such a sweetie, so glad she went into a shelter. This is nothing like the warm home she wants.
Thanks for your animal rescue films, they are really great.
Love the youtube videos you do, keep up the great work rescuing animals!
Thought it looked like a ball python. Quite a cutie too. Seeing how calm that snake was without getting scared and curling into a ball like they naturally would...seemed it was a pet. If I'm wrong about this, then my bad. This is a couple year old vid so yea I know its irrelevant lol
You're not wrong.
Ball Python yes. Captive bred yes, as they're native to Africa. Was an escapee/released pet.
Obviously it was pet, it isn't native to the UK lol
WolfDragoness Big female, males are quite small compared to females 😊
@@MikeyJMJ We have wild ones in the US...they start out as pets, escape, then breed. No longer a pet after a while.
There's a snake in my boot
And this one
There's a snake in my fridge

Well-played, Simon. Well-played, indeed, Sir. :)
I’m impressed you got em out. When a ball python doesn’t wanna come out, they don’t come out.
Ball pythons are so chill.
The snakes skin has such a beautiful pattern!
Cute danger noodle
Eek, love animals BUT sorry NOT SNAKES...😬
@@myunknownland9272 Feel bad for ya man, a lot of the non-venomous snakes are adorable when you don't have a fear of them.
@@matthewbibby8921 not a man. A couple had an Australian brown at the feet inside doona. Lucky to be alive. My book says snakes are snakes and I hate them. That's why I have 2 adorable Bengal cats protecting me. 😍
@@myunknownland9272 wait - hang on, just to clarify, are you from Australia?
@@matthewbibby8921 yes QLD. One of my cats killed a small deadly brown snake and gave it to me as a gift😬. Amazed the cat lived. I had a python at the corner dead, hit by car...sad NO. Hate spiders and snakes. They don't live around me. 😂
Just caught up on this old video. Blimey! Well done. I watch some wildlife rescues in India. They often use long tubes with a bag on the end (card/plastic) to catch them as the snake feels more secure, seems to work everytime. Hopefully, you won't need your snake wrangling skills for another 20 years. Great job.
Steady as a shaking rock, you are, simon! Lol
Congratulations. Greetings from Greece.
What a little one! How sweet. I'm glad you helped him!
I agree with the run like hell part... loved that
WAF YOU GUYS INSPIRED MY TO BE A RESCUER JUST LIKE YOU GUYS THANKS FOR RESCUING ALL OF THIS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS THANKS SO MUCH AND I WISH YOU GUYS MAKE MORE VIDEOS 👏😄😊
Awwwww, it's a Ball Python! Thank you for trying to be gentle with him, Mr. Simon; I know working with unfamiliar snakes can be a little scary, but Ball Pythons don't typically get big or mean enough to harm humans, and they're very slow and docile compared to other snakes, so you handled that very well! I'm sure this little buddy is very grateful, a reptile center sounds like a much nicer place for him than someone's garage. :3
Poor little (massive) python... he was chilling in the wrong spot but thankfully he's found a new home for now.
That is a adorable snake
Simon!! So proud that amongst your jokey brave front, the snake was saved (as was your pride lol) thanks SO much 🐍🐍🐍 x x x
What a beautiful coloured snake Simon you are so brave .
that gave the chills
Beautiful Royal Python and totally harmless. One of the most docile snakes there is. This one is quite large so probably female. I've kept snakes for years, including Royal Pythons, Boa Constrictors and several smaller, harmless snakes. Some of them are getting on in years now. I have three that are over 16 years old.
Glad he/she got a nice home!
Great narrated video, keep 'em coming!
He's in there cuz it's warm and dark, But he's so cute with his lil head poking out the bag and his puppy dog eyes
in india wat normally people does is burn pile of red chilli to make the snake come out from a tight gap then sack it up and let it free in the forest.....weird way without hurting it.
Ball python...poor thing. :( People shouldn't get an animal if they're just gonna get rid of it.
It probably escaped. Snakes are much better at escaping then you think.
Not if you have the right enclosure. A snake shouldn't be in a glass tank with a lid. They should be in wooden or PVC "cages" with plexiglass doors that lock.
CodeXANA I had that and even my snake escaped, even after a reptile specialist checked it, don't judge.
Aww look at the cute snake
the snake's puppy face ❤️
I love snakes of all descriptions, native and non native, venomous and non venomous. I once owned a beautiful Burmese python.
I am absolutely terrified of legless lizards/slow worms though. I can't even watch a video with them in 😂
If I found an escaped pet snake who belonged to no one, I'd get a large tank , substrate, food, necessary permits and I would keep it 💖. Snakes are adorable and squishy and the cutest. 😍
I have a pet ball python myself! He's really cute and docile, snakes are just about my favourite thing.
You made it look easy. Well done.
My dream is for my daughter to take this path and profession. I didn't and I feel its to late but I wish I had done. She watches this now I have showed her and has always loved animals as much as me, so you never know!
Beautiful snake although I am not keen on them myself either but id do anything just like you, to save one. Awesome stuff!
What a beautiful Ball Python. They are normally very docile.
That is a gorgeous ball python!
I love you Simon ❤️
:-) My animal rescues are generally not snake either but living in Florida they do come up. Snakes don't particularly like to be grabbed but can be remarkably calm if you just let them rest on your hand. But I still wouldn't want one that size to latch on to me.
Great job with the rescue!
Thanks Ann, and be careful with some of the snakes in Florida, they are beautiful but can be quite deadly, kinda like possums, when I first saw one I was thinking aww, and expecting one of those cute things with the big eyes, only to be confronted with a slavering, hissing beast with way too many teeth lol
I am definitely not a snake person. At least in florida for the most part it's pretty easy to tell the difference between the venomous and non. I am VERY careful.
I have rescued many an opossum! Their reputation is much worse than their reality. A mother opossum with babies can be defensive. An animal that's main defense is playing "opossum" generally wants to avoid a real fight. The hissing, growling and showing of teeth is to scare you away so they can escape. They definitely will fight if they feel cornered. So anyone reading this that is not an experienced wildlife rescue person keep your distance!
Do you have opossums there?
They are our resident marsupials. :-)
I love that I am able to help rescue some of our wildlife here. Animals are so amazing.
I also love all of your videos! You have a great team and facility and you are a joy to watch.
Ann Bellinger
Nope none here in the UK, The first time I met one was when I was very young, visiting friends in Florida, but I must admit it was a beautiful animal even if it didn't feel the same about me! Respect to you for helping your native wildlife and also knowing the difference between an animal that can potentially be a danger to you :)
Simon is so brave! :-D
Awww, it’s just a ball python! They’re nice snakes
Aww hes so cute, the snake too.
Ball pythons have beautiful temperaments, don't they? What a gorgeous little noodle.
I found a python in my bedroom once, (and no it wasn't ours lol!) and I live in Canada. It was left loose in our house by the previous owners, and it turned out to be my roommate for two whole weeks before I found it! Quite a wake up call at 2:00am. It took my step-dad and my brother two hours to get it out of the closet and into a big container so we could call someone in the morning to pick it up.
Weldone Simon 👏👏
I do a lot of pythons.
They get it very quickly if you are gentle with them, then they don't try and bite (usually), especially ex-pets.
one time, a snake head popped out of the toilet bowl. i was scared to use my toilet for about two weeks after it was caught. haha! i've watched a couple of your videos and you earned a subcriber! keep doing what you do! much love from South East Asia!
aww it's so cute but I guess i'm bias my sister owns a reptile shop and I love them... she used to have a burmese python called cuddles and another called monty(python) :)
What a cute little lady I'm glad she found a home! Was it a ball python? They are pretty harmless as long as your not a small mammal. The bites hurt like the sickens but that little thing couldn't do too much damage. I say little because Burmese pythons can grow to be huge. They are an invasive species here in the U.S (Florida) and are known for eating pets.
I'm politely laughing my ass off at the description XD I love you guys for the wonderful work you do, but there really is no reason to freak out so much about snakes. This was just a ball python, a small species regularly kept as a pet. Perfectly harmless and docile. Just because it has 'python' in the name doesn't mean it's dangerous ;) That said, Simon did a great job, especially seeing as he's afraid of snakes. It takes a lot of courage to handle an animal that freaks you out, so absolutely well done to you, Simon! It's quite an accomplishment, and we're all proud of you :D
Tip for the future: if you want a snake to move forward, touch or tickle it gently on its body, it usually does the trick. The snake will want to move away from the stimulus and will likely shift itself accordingly. Not a good idea if the snake is displaying signs of aggression, though - especially if it is a large one. Also, grabbing a snake behind the head typically doesn't need to be done (unless it's venomous or behaving agressively), since it not only stresses the animal out, but also causes it to start pulling backwards (to get out of your grasp), which is often not what you want (like in this video).

Go go Simon!
I once found a snake skin from a rat snake that measured 10 foot 9 and 1/4 inches long. My boss called me a liar, so I left it on his desk. The scream from the office girl was delightful.
This is a small ball python, an easy and docile snake. You have to pinch its tail and let its head find a hiding spot in your bag. Also a source of heat is a way to attract them, such as a heating pad. No need to panic, this is the easiest and sweetest of the constrictors. Only gets to be 5-6 ft in length, easy to handle. You want to approach it from the back and top and firmly hold its neck while supporting the heavy body below with other hand. Don't wrestle it, work with its wiggling, go along. The main reason a snake stiffens around your arm, is because its using its tail as a leg, so top half can move forward. It is not trying to choke you. It is trying to get away and move without the use of legs. Commonly misunderstood action. if a snake wanted to choke you, it would do it so rapidly you would be in its coils before you were aware. Lightening fast. A slow hold is not a choke. These small constrictors are very sweet and easily frightened of you. Not the Burmese Pythons, Retics, Peruvian Boas, and Anacondas - different animal entirely.
In case of a rescue, the first thing you do is to give it a good soak in very tepid water in your bathtub, so it can rehydrate through its skin and have a good poop and pee. Bowel movements are important for snakes. You approach a snake from the back not front. It should not see you hand, as it will think it is food (eye sight poor). After a good soak, you can feed it a thawed out rat. Rat should be completely thawed out.
The constrictors have a body temp of 80F, so if water feels warm to you, it is very warm or hot to them. Lukewarm water to soak. Cool water to drink. After feeding, do not handle it at all. Let it rest for 2-3 days with a warm mat and towel over it. Ambient room temp or cage temp should be 85 - 90F, with a warm spot on one end and cool the other end. Setup is everything - you are recreating the Amazon forest in temp and humidity for these snakes. Pricey setup, but once you have it down, its good. This is where most of us fail. Everything else is easy. There is a LOT to learn about reptiles, even more than birds.
If you are slow and gentle and don't startle the poor guy, he will never bite or bother you. Ball Pythons are very docile and gentle and shy. The handling and letting it climb around something moves its bowels nicely. Handling is important. Plus they love their throats stroked, and bellies stroked. It tickles them and they twitch their tails. How I miss my boa constrictor! Wish I had that ball python. Love them so much.
That was a lot of snake ! Smooth rescue Simon high 5
imagine waking up and seeing this under your next pillow on your bed besides you ..lol
+Omarion Nelson A friend of mine owns a lot of snakes and when he came home one day, he saw his biggest snake looking out from under the bed. It is a fair sized boa and apparently it figured out how to escape from the terrarium. He owns two domesticated pets as well, which luckily weren't harmed.
Yep, that's a ball python. Somebody lost or abandoned that poor snake, they are very harmless and sweet/friendly.
I’d be petrified! Well done Simon.
One of my favourite episodes as I know Simon hares snakes
It's not the head of a python you've got to worry about. A really pissed off python is far more likely to break your arm by constricting than to bite. Pythons are actually difficult to really piss off, they're pretty docile. My guess is he just wanted a nice warm place to sleep. I want to know how he got to the UK lol.
Looks like a royal Python. Very calm snakes. Excellent pets. I can certainly understand the caution, but, bit rough. This was nearly fully grown.
Ball, not royal.
soxsons Apologies, here in the UK, we call Ball Pythons Royal Pythons.
Ah, did not know that. The more you know.
soxsons No we don't?
What a gorgeous Ball/Royal Python. It must have been someone's pet because it looks well-fed and glossy. Some fool must have either lost it or maybe even let it loose. There are thousands of exotic animals released into the Everglades in Florida every year, so much so that it's become a serious problem and they have to be caught.
That well fed, it likely got loose.
I'd be so worried of my Temprence got out.
simon with all the animals you have encountered i didn't think you would be scared of a royal python
i live in england, we dont have many wild snaks but we do have a few inc the garter snake
+TheDct88 there are only 3 types of snake in the UK the one you mentioned, the Adder- the only venomous snake and the grass sbake
+TheDct88 Well, you've got to admit this one's much larger than the locals.
+SNxW We had smooth scaled snakes too but no ones seen one in a few years.
Slack two of the screws and then run like hell 😂😂😂
great story...
holy mackerel!!!! that is one big ass snake!!!! I would be scared 💩less!!!!!
I’ve heard of cold-blooded but that’s ridiculous 0_0
Aw! We have pythons and they are the sweetest things ever! We also have bearded dragon lizards and we might be taking one in near june. You'd be surprised. They can fit through the crack under a door.
Snakes scare me but they are extremely cute to me :')
snake in a fridge!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Ball python are harmless but probably scary to someone who has never owned or seen one.
I think England is safe from the pythons becoming an invasive species - I don't think they can tolerate the cold. Might be wrong. But the cursed things have made a home in the Everglades of Florida and are moving north. My point is - if they could survive in England, you might want to put up a permanent import block on them. Great video by the way and I love how Simon handled it all. Silly snake, didn't understand when he was being rescued!
I think the only way to probably do it, is to slacken out at least two of these screws, and than run like hell 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lol that's a pet python! And ball pythons are the best snakes to own because they are never bite human! I have 27 of them :P
27 wow.
they can bite, but theyre extremely docile and rarely bite
u must have morphs if u hae 27 i have 6 i have a butter a pied a mojave a enchi and a pastel and a normal
Do you have specialized Snake equipment? I remember Australian series always had special snake sticks but I don't imagine you guys get snakes a lot. (especially if this was the first python in 30 years)
Adder/viper is the only venomous snake in UK. Grass snakes look similar but are completely harmless. I'm not sure where this noodle escaped from but at least he/she found a new home.
With vipers it's enough if you can get their head pinned down or in a tube so they can't bite you. Some gloves and rubber boots can be helpful too.
would the snake be atracted to the heat sink in the back of the refrigerators as it moved right from one frige to the other right away thay need to heat up to be active right?
+Mariella Scholten Yes, they like warm places.
that just looks like a general royal python. best thing to do is poke them in their tail til they move forward and try and catch them round their bodies. grabbing their heads results in what we saw here where they try and retreat backwards. if you want the snake to go forwards, poke it (gently of course!) in its tail, you want it to go backwards, gently touch its head. I have corns, sometimes when I'm cleaning them they'll poke their heads out of the cage and try and escape, all I need to do is put my hand in front of them and they naturally retreat :)
First rule, make sure its a crusher and not a biter.
Possibly after rodents in the garage.
Never heard of a ball python before.
if i had the room and money, id get a ball python :)))
So obviously a royal python even when you could only see part of the head.
Holding that ball python by the head was completely unnecessary
so much braver than myself. that was an awfully large one.
ball pythons are extremely docile, rarely ever bite
