How to Tame an "Aggressive" Snake

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2018
- Snakes will bite for 2 reasons: They think you're a predator, or they think you're prey. In this video I explain some techniques to tame a not-so-friendly snake, including the introduction to the "Confident Grab" technique that works every time!

@@ghguyrur7 I do the same thing to my doggos. One was food agressive so say down and I held her back and made her watch her sister eat first for a week. She didnt make a peep after that lol
My dog is toy aggressive lmao

Snake: *doesn't strike at me even once in the 3 years I've had him*
Me, taking snake out for friends: he literally never bites trust me
Snake: are you sure about that?
Your snake might have gotten scared of the other people if it’s not often around others, that’s why Emily only chooses certain snakes! :p just some advice if that is the problem ♡︎
My uncles snake only bit him when he STUPIDLY GRABBED HOM WHILE SHEDDING. and then wondered why he was getting bit. I'd bite too if my skin was falling off
Is that a ball python or not?
@@itsmaisiecowheadplayzroblo7913 No he's a dumerils boa
literally!! i was handling a friends snake like i did everyday for about 3 weeks, and he decided to bite my arm. he has just gotten fed too! never forgot, definitely traumatized from it. still want a snake!!

With dramatic music playing in the background 😅
Can we all just appreciate the fact that she didn't even flinch and willingly got bit by a snake to prove her point?
Yeah. That’s really cool... I work in the countryside and we get random snakes a lot. I literally catch WILD snakes several times a year and get bit most of the time if I can’t catch them behind their head in time! 😂 just yesterday I caught this GORGEOUS California King Snake and he did get me! But otherwise he was a doll and just wrapped around my wrist and forearm small bite felt like nothing. No blood and two TEEEEENY TINY little fang marks 😊 all the girls at work were like screaming and saying “you’re so brave!” I’m just like dude I love snakes lol!
Fr even if i would try to be brave like doing things like this, i would still jump so bad lmao
brave af tbh

Don't forget "takes bites and doesn't flinch" on your list

She said
“Snakes are cute...but they are not that bright”
BOOM
Fear gone...They are just like my little brother
@I'm Squash not all snakes are that bright some smart snakes are the king cobra and the garter snake but snakes like boa constrictors are less so
The last part of your comment killed me XD
BOOM
I have just turned into a hyena
Yah, there just like my puppy who hit his head five times before he realized that he no longer fit under the couch. Love him but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. But I luv ‘um.

*snakes are just dinosaur worms*
“The snake won’t bite the perch”
The very angry garter snake that live in my front yard: are you challenging me?
Those little garters can have an attitude lol I’ve had many of them chomp me
I kept a garter snake for a bit (my little brother wanted to, so we kept her for about 3 days then let her be free) and i can agree lmao. Constantly being feisty and trying to attack hehe. Though she would attack anything but her food
Wild caught garters tend to have an attitude, but can be tamed relatively easily. If you're keeping one as a pet, it's best to get one that's captive bred and accustomed to being handled.
Can’t relate, mine is so sweet and loves being help.
Snek: *chomps hand*

Thanks JFK
I'm so scare of a snake if i see one i will dead😔😔😔
Your JFK Profile picture just made the joke funny
Dude isnt an turret
I was in awe of how she just took the bite without flinching but then I realized I let my cat bite and scratch me all the time.
Yeah when my cat was a baby, she would bite and scratch all the time because she hadn't learned how to not hurt people:) I'm sure that that was worse than snake bites- I still have scars! She doesn't bite or scratch anymore:)
Never thought about it that way! I guess half of the reaction probably comes from the shock, not the actual pain, considering how often my cat has drawn blood and I haven't even batted an eye lol. (He's not aggressive -- he just likes to play, and if we haven't clipped his claw recently he may accidentally scratch.)
Lmao yeah
@@elderly_gentleman9489 I taught one of my cats to fight lmao we lived in a neighbourhood full of tough cats
Cat bites/scratches hurt more than snake bites lol. My cat kneading me hurts more than when I was training my snake and it bit me :p Very tiny pinpricks, so way more blood than actual pain, whereas cat teeth and claws are bigger
Snake: Is angry, trying to look scary, being hissy
Emily: *look at those **_chubby cheeks!_*
Lmao
I brought home my first snake a few days ago, and I had watched this video (and many others) ahead of time. I love snakes and I've been bitten by far more dangerous animals in my line of work, but I knew it would probably scare me a bit if I got tagged. Watching you calmly react to getting tagged did wonders for the 'nervous' corner of my brain and completely desensitized me to the idea. Today, I scared my poor snake child by uncovering her in the substrate - I'd left a latch undone on her enclosure overnight and while she's a month-old corn and probably couldn't have pushed it anyways, I live in an apartment and I wanted to be sure she hadn't gotten out. Sure enough, she panicked and tagged me twice. I felt absolutely no fear or unease, just worry that this would be a very negative experience for her. So, I just sat down with her in front of the enclosure and let her calm down in my hands, then put her back once I'd put everything I'd moved back and she seemed calm and curious rather than panicked. I don't think I would have reacted with that level of calm if I hadn't watched this video ahead of time - thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and giving us newbies some confidence and respect for these animals!!
People shocked by her handling a bite when cat owners expect the world to be fine with bloody gashes all over
lol, multi-cat owner *and* cutter here - you're so right :D
Out of The Hat i have so many scratches on me from cats , my cats are nice but accidentally get me when I play with them lol I like idea as bite like cat scratch as scratch is definitely worse looking
Guess that's true. I have several scars from my cats
lmao, i’m immune to cat bites and scratches too because i’m so use to playing with cats but once you eventually get immune to it, they’ll know you have control and you can tame them better, by being more gentle of course
My little fierce hunter doesn't scratch or bite, but she does jump onto me or off me unexpectedly. :-(
Emily: Talking and smiling
Snake: Trying to swallow her whole hand
What a freaking badass
She’s my idol! 😌
Whole*
Lmao
lmaoo
This is what I call "love over fear" :3 No matter how hissy and bitey the snake is, Emily always remains calm and collected since she understands that the animal is only acting out bc of hunger or fear.
Emily you are a life saver! I cried last night because I was too scared to pick up my new baby cornsnake (first snake) after she made a strike at me, I have wanted a snake for YEARS, and I got so discouraged because I thought I wasn’t up for it after all, but after watching your video and doing the «confident grab»… man, what a difference that made! thank you!!
Snake: Why is this big creature not dying...
I am cober
I am danger

I wanted to make a joke about her taking the bite but I am so genuinely inspired by that confidence/tolerance, I want to leave this video with nothing but respect.
Snake bites rarely hurt.
Still got lots of likes
@@yuritarded7307depends on the species tho
Started socializing my baby corn, and this video has been so helpful. We're starting out slowly with just a few minutes at a time, and adding a minute every week. Today she didn't try to strike, she didn't musk on me, but I did get some good tail rattles. Thank you for all the knowledge you share, and for teaching people that snakes aren't "mean" they're just scared.
Corn snakes are my fav snakes, how are you 2 going? :D
I did it! My adult son has a 1 year old ball python that I've been helping with for several months now and I've yet to be willing to hold him, but I did it! Thank you for your awesome approach to teaching because it's been consistently watching your content that got me to braving this today!!
Wow great job, that's really nice of you
She's amazing. I saw a man 3 times her size yell when he got bit. 100% respect
3 times her size?? And she is quite tall to begin with... O.O
@@anotheronechompsthedust9618 width wise I believe, she is just nonchalant when the snake bit ang wrapped in her hand lmao
I think it’s probably a psychological thing. When you’re like her and realize that the snake isn’t a threat, you realize it’s not that bad.
Not that it would be a good idea but I wonder what each pet’s bites feel like on a scale. Ik it would vary because some animals bite defensive and some bite for food reasons.
Its mostly just startling. The bite itself isn't that bad but if a snake just suddenly strikes and bites its obviously gonna be a bit surprising
God: makes nope rope to put the fear of god in human

I love it so much just like a baby earthquakes house so cute I said o sticks are so cute
Yeah yeah all fun and games until it grows into a danger noodle!
I love how you narrated this entire video. Super clear and encouraging.
This was so helpful! My new ball python, got her around a week or two ago, was balling up and refusing to come out, but with just a week of this she’s totally comfortable with me! She immediately unravels when I pick her up and is the sweetest most gentle snake. Your videos have helped me tremendously in my journey of adopting my first snake (since I’ve wanted one ever since I was a toddler), and all your tips and tricks have been so very helpful for my new baby! I also blame you for making me want to get a snake.

*Emily:* has hungry snake biting into her hand no doubt leaving a painful flesh wound
*Also Emily:* calmly explains how not to have snakes think that you is food
She took that snake bite with less reaction than a dang mosquito
IKR! Snakes are cool, but I'd be more worried about Snake Venom.
YES! I know not all Snakes are venomous, but still.
@@nine_tails137 none of hers are
Mirio togata actually, western hognose snakes (which she breeds) are a rear fanged venomous species as well as her false water cobra, they won't cause much reaction but still venom.
@@jacksonadkins8228 but unless she puts her finger in her rear fangs and let them knaw you but usually it just swells for a few days but some might react more severely like bee stings
Wolfi Studios I figured slightly venomous snakes that are domesticated would lose their ability to produce venom like poison dart frogs 😅
Snake: Fight me
Human: *Picks snake up and cuddles it*
Snake: What's going on?
Haha 😂
Lol nice one 🤣
Snake: what... what is this human why am I enjoying this
The "confident grab" definitely works! Thank you! I like to get the snake moving a bit before I try to pick it up ( a little less coiled up).
I love how she's straight up tryna eat emily, and she isnt reeacting at all, just continuing to talk as if nothings happening while shes biting her

@@makaylakraus1897 that cobra had it coming, didn't go for him again did it?
Ah good luc-
NO WAIT !
**Snake bites.**
**Hand bleeds.**
**Talks like no big deal.**
It's not a big deal. I once had a rat snake decide I was food and try to swallow my thumb. I couldn't just yank my thumb out because that would have hurt the snake (by yanking out some of his rear-curving teeth) and caused more pain to me too. So all I could really do was wait for him to figure out he'd made a mistake. When he got to the base of my thumb and realized he'd bitten off more than he could swallow, he let go. I bled a fair amount, but it was more funny than unpleasant. And, yes, it was no big deal.
it’s like cats, all that hurts is the surprise
@@elivdb ya agreed. my cat bites but if you dont jerk away it hurts a lot less. most of the pain comes from yanking away which causes bigger cuts. the actual bite hurts very little in comparison.
So.... its sorta like when my baby brother bites my hand? Lol
Welp. My cat is a bengal which is a hybrid between an Asian leopard and (I think ) a tabby cat. So he has huge claws and teeth. He is also huge and strong and he latches to my leg and doesn’t leg go. But aside from that he is a puppy dawg and I luv him :3
35 years old handling snakes of all kinds. I have never managed to get rid of the reflex to jump, to withdraw my arm when they bite. It does not matter if it is large or very small, I cannot handle the bite. You are my hero girl.
"There's no such thing as an aggressive snake"
Me, who has been chased across entire ponds by an angry copperhead: Hmm
Get out o' me pond hooman!
Watch the second myth debunk on her channel
Thats a lizard
Marika Jons No it's not
Snakes don’t chase you, they’re simply taking the path of least resistance which happens to be the one you’re taking. Bushmasters are the only “exception,” they get very excited and jump out at the predator... But even then it’s not technically chasing.
Check out Emily’s second myth debunking video, it covers that very well.
So basically.. you go "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE MY AFFECTIONS SNEK"
And holy smoly! not even a flinch when that one snake latched on you.
Snek is snake
This is the girl who you helped with the overly defensive blood python, and I just wanted to thank you guys again so much. She's definitely become the family pet, and has become the nicest snake I know. Thanks again, Emily ♡♡♡
I know this isn't really on what you said in your comment, but I'm really curious how you made those hearts! I really like them.

This is one of the most fascinating videos on this channel. I watched plenty of their videos wondering exactly how you're supposed to know how to avoid pushing their buttons - she is adept even with snakes that are new or even wild. So this was cool to see explained and demonstrated.
Just taking a bite like it’s nothing while I sit here and get a paper cut and be a baby for a month. It’s fine...lol
I agree
well papercuts hurt so much worse than the cut is for some reason lol.
KittenKalledFry yeah but there’s a difference, she has multiple snakes and have been bitten a lot of times
Paper cuts are legit a pain, never knew why, scratches or cuts doesn't hurt that much
Paper cuts are worse than snake bites. I'd rather get six snake bites a month than two paper cuts a year.
you've underestimated me owner-san
you haven't seen my final move, CONFIDENT GRAB!!
I once had a one eared dwarf rabbit that was trained in the same way and it's a clear indicator on how differently you should treat different species... Benny's previous owners would* continuously pick him up to attempt to get him used to it but what it actually did was make things more difficult as prey animals dislike being in helpless situations. I learned to leave him be and only pick him up on rare occasions, and because of that he began to trust me picking him up because he learned to associate it with specifically being taken somewhere (which he was fine with because that meant more exploring) or when I'm petting him and just hold him to cuddle him more. In fact I began taking him to the vet in just bag so that when he felt nervous in the car he could jump on my shoulder. Animals are fascinating.
In my experience, moving confidently is important in handling other animals, too.
How do you just take a snake bite like that? That’s amazing.
It doesn’t hurt that much you can feel it but there isn’t a lot of pain
Let a snake bite ya sometime. It doesn't hurt and helps you get over the fear really quick.
kiroro pupper if a snake strikes at me I let them bite by pulling away you’re telling the snake it is scaring you and will bite more often
i mean she has been dealing with snakes for years- so they dont scare her or it doesnt hurt that much like she said
Pulling away makes it hurt more as it rips the skin rather than puncturing
"snakes are cute, but they're not that bright." LOL
"It's not that bad." She says and displays a wound that looks worse than wounds I've seen people cry rivers over. I love this woman. She's what I would've been had I not been terrified of snakes as a kid. And is part of the reason I made the decision to get a snake. Still getting things together for an enclosure, though. My final step in dealing with my fear. :D I have grown to love snakes so much.
how's it going?

Emily: continues talking and is completely chill
I wanted to let you know that your video is still helping people months later. I got my very first ball python named Snickers last week and he is quite a bit defensive. Hissing and striking at me. I was looking for a way to calm him down when I came across this video so tonight when he came out to explore and was active I confidently reached in and scooped him up (Gently of course) and handled him for the first time. He was kind of holding on tight for a while then he just started exploring it was all I could do to keep up. He did strike at me once when I moved a bit too fast to try to support his front end but didn't even bite. It was good for both of us. A few more training sessions and I will be able to let my daughter and son hold him. Thank You So Much!
A ball python striking? That’s pretty unheard of! Well best of luck to you and Snickers!
Snickers will soon be gud Snickers
Wear gloves when handling a snake that strikes at you. It helps A LOT
Getchell Family Reptiles I got bit once for waking her up and didn’t get her out for months and she when I try to get her out she presses her snoot against say her blanket (I have it so she dosent poop on the bed) and opens her mouth slightly and strikes

Emily, you have no idea just how much encouragement and help this has been for "Yes" a collector and a long time herp!!! You are simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!! Love yha!!!!!
This was super helpful! I have a juvenile corn snake that clearly doesnt hurt when she strikes - just the creepy factor and I didnt want my kids to see her strike, so they didnt become fearful of the snake.
Your confidence clearly comes from experience - but I already feel more confident picking her up just now than I would have imagined. The last 5 times I tried to pick her up, she tagged me. I dont think I'll have the hesitation next time I go to puck her up!
Thank you!
I love how she just had a snake biting and wrapping her hand. I would be so scared if a snake bit me!
Tiny snakes really don't hurt when they bite. I was told that the easiest way to get over being scared of the bite is to just let em bite. The sound is the scariest part but when you actually hear the strike and then feel how pitiful it is it makes the strike less foreboding.
@@kiroropupper3914 sounds kind of like an injection or ear piercing.
The anticipation of it hurting is worse than actually getting it done.
I got bit by a snake a Petco and the strike is what scared me and the fast popping out. The bite didn't hurt. Ok ok if I will be honest bite didn't hurt but after little blood, feels like little cat scratch. Barely nick the skin type scratch. Little sting. Now 8 foot boa...... yeah that's like a fucking horror movie!! Lol just saying
@@Ghost15431 The bigger pythons can do a good bit of damage when they bite.
@@Ghost15431 I have gone in to get shots relaxed and thinking it wouldn't hurt too much and had it hurt a LOT. It's not just anticipation, though that makes it worse. A lot of times when people say 'it doesn't hurt that much, it's just anticipation'... I no longer believe them
I have an overly defensive leopard gecko. His name...Leonard. I've been handling him and taming him like my other geckos, but it's been almost 4 years now, and he's still a butt hole and bites me if I go to pick him up, or if I go to change out his water. But once he's out of the tank, he's fine and he seems to enjoy being put into, what I like to call a "shirt pouch" and get his head rubbed lightly with my thumb.
I've never understood why he's so angry at me when I approach him in the tank. I've washed my hands before handling him, I've let him lick me before I scoop him up, but he still bites. At this point I've just accepted that Leonard is just a grumpy old man at heart lol.

snake bites (from small-ish snakes) don't hurt! as long as they're not venomous, it kind of feels like a kitten bite, to be honest!
@@saturnoperative4484
Oh thats cool then haha
Especially when its from a non-venomous species. They dont have those two large fangs that snakes are famous for. They just have a bunch of very small and thin needle like teeth that are just used for latching on to their prey.
@@saturnoperative4484 but kitten bites don't bleed.
@@trash2853 snake bites bleed more than they should because of a compound in snake saliva that stops clotting and encourages bloodflow
i just refound this video after having watched it like a year ago and noticing that nearly everything in it really stuck with me.... I held my first snake half a year ago at a local reptile zoo (I'm oceans away from yours unfortunately) and less than 2 months ago brought home my own very first snake (a young hognose) and all the "just reach right in and hold them"... I wouldnt have remembered it was this specific video that taught me that but I'm absolutely doing exactly that and within weeks my baby hog basically doesnt even musk, hiss or mock strike at all, even when im being evil and mean and digging her out of the substrate.
She's so sweet even the vets commented on it :)
this was the best video i’ve seen everyone talks about why snakes bite and not how to get them to stop

this has been sooo helpful to watch!! I got a rescue ball and she is very defensive and startled by my hands, so seeing this helps me to know i should avoid flinching when she also flinches! thank you so much!
Your voice is as soothing as Bob Ross
That's the weirdest sentence I've said in my life but its true

OMGOMGOMG I KNOW RIGHT!!! I WAS ALOS THINKING THAT!
Loved this video, very educational and definitely such a good statement “Snakes aren’t aggressive, they are being defensive” so true, it just depends on how much the animal is used to be handled by people
I can already tell this one is a whole lot better than a different one I watched some days ago from another channel.
When I saw that she was wearing a Pokémon shirt I was like, I’m having a good time already

*WHY DID HE GO SO FAST OH MY GOD*
Its glitching
Lag switch, obviously.
It’s a bug in the matrix dumb dumb
fastest ninja
It isn’t if you put it in slow motion you can see the snake in every motion of biting
You would make Steve Irwin proud
Agreed!
Agreed
I know this is an old video but it really helped me gain confidence in trying to tame my baby corn snake. I used to be scared of snakes so "aggressive" snakes still scare me. This video helped me gain some confidence!!!! I dont have the time to hold him twice a day since im a student but I'll try to hold him as much as I can!!!! Thank you for the confidence boost!!!!
I love how when she gets bit she just says "oh look a snake bit me"
My dad owned a corn snake and every time he tried to hold her or feed her she would strike him. Since he knew I loved animals.. He asked me if I wanted her (Note: He doesnt really give her much attention.) Being the animal lover I am.. I said yes. Since my mom and dad aren't together.. I had to call my mom for her permission to bring her home with me since I was visiting and she agreed (If I did more chores... I said yes.) So after the day was close to being down my mom came to pick me up and I transfered the terrarium with the snake and placed it in the car and on my lap. (Its a pretty small terrarium since she is still pretty small.) While we were driving I would sometimes crack her terrarium open and pet her while she is calm (That way she gets use to my touch.) After her being with me for a year.. She has been a whole lot nicer and I can pick her up without any trouble. Since she is so calm I have let my 9 year old little sis hold her so Frisco (The snake) can get use to her too. Now that I have moved a few hours away I now trust my sister and Frisco to be able to be together and I can trust my sister to hold her and give her effection when I no longer can until I return home. My mom or her boyfriend or my sister's fiance feed her once every other week due to the diet she is on and she eats pinkies due to her size.
This is a story of how I was able to "tame" the snake while my dad couldn't since he was too busy and never had time to bond with Frisco. Frisco is living a healthy and happy life and I hope you guys can agree if you also have a similar situation. Share the snake love! 💖
Sweet story
mine does too!!
We all need love.
I got a new snake because my first BP died 2 months ago and it is so scared of me
It thinks I am a threat so I have some time to tame her
Her name is Scandina and she is so adorable and fussy lol
Spooky scary snaky snake sends shivers down your spine
it’s slithering scales are terrifying but the danger noodle is fine
Spooky scary snaky snakes are so misunderstood
they only want some foodie food but bite your arm instead
(Btw this is a snake parody of spooky scary skeletons by the living tombstones)
Edit: omg thanks for all the likes this is the most I’ve ever gotten I’m so happy 😁
The Living Tombstone only made a remix of Spooky Scary Skeletons. Andrew Gold is the one who originally did the song.
Great
o shid that was actually friggin sick
Yeah i geussed it was
you dont say?
Wow. Snakes actually look easier to tame than hamsters. I've had many hamsters in the past and they certainly don't bluff their bites if they're scared. They also bite in a feeding response if you smell like food (that's how my current hamster bit me actually, totally my fault). They have small but very long bottom teeth so they will actually puncture your skin pretty deeply. Still, feels like when the doctor pricks your finger for a blood sample but more aggressive. And it leaves the bite area super sore until it heals. Doing research on hopefully getting a ball python soon. And I think if I can tame skittish rescue hamsters to happily come to me, I can tame a ball python. And their bites, even though ball pythons are much bigger, sound way more mild than something a fraction of their size.
I think the worst bites I’ve ever gotten were from hamsters. And I’ve had cats, dogs, and an axolotl, and have worked with mice, rats, and snakes.
Hamster bites hurt a lot more too!
This video helped me so much. I just got a new ball python last week and I was a bit nervous on holding her. But sure enough I tried the "confident grab" yesterday and she calmed down after a minute or so.
Thanks emily! I have a small 3ft red tail boa and i kept reaching in and when she would move i would jump back and leave her alone. I watched your video and tried the confident grab and have had absolutely no problem taking her out since then. With that being said, her name is emily as i admire what u do and how much your videos have helped me! Looking forward to more videos!!
I have a dumerils boa 1,80cm, and I definitely cannot do that because she will bite 100%. One time I was handling her and everything was fine, she turned her head and went against my elbow and she bite me xD Let me say that when she went against my elbow was not even hard (she barely touched it) she got scared with a movement she did herself xD ahah
i love that you just go on talking like you’re just regularly handling the snake instead of having your hand being bitten/somewhat constricted lol
This video is so addictive! I keep on coming back to watch it again.. Great presenter! 🙏
Sehr gute Moderation und absolute Fachkenntnis, selten so interessante Beiträge gesehen, und jetzt bin ich ein Fan!!!! TOP
