Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the advise! After 2 years of fearing my corn snake and her bites I've finally been able to pick her up with the 'confident grab technique' and she didn't even attempt a bite, thank you for helping me to grow the balls and pick her up to give her a better life.
I had someone arguing with me that snakes have no memory and no ability to learn - that they act purely on instinct no matter what, even in the case of species known to migrate between different areas seasonally like eastern indigo snakes, but I just don't understand how he could be arguing that - everything has some capability to learn in some fashion... Even just simple cells. The idea of 'memory' I think was confusing him, but I was using the word in its very simplest form. I always recommend using a snake hook to gently nudge or rub fiesty/skittish snakes to teach them over time that things will be fine, or to use them to get them initially from the tub. I can eventually leave the hook behind as the snakes grow and recognize different cues as 'feeding time' or 'handling time', and they learn to trust that I am not here to eat them or harm them. I know their brains lack certain parts like an amygdala for emotions, but to claim they cannot learn was really surprising to me. His argument was that these actions are pointless, and that even Pavlovian conditioning is impossible with snakes because of their simplicity, which I know by living experience is not the case... I have gone through training many different species of snakes with gentle handling and hook conditioning. Can you add your two cents here and maybe help me understand where he is coming from? Or was he perhaps just confused/misunderstanding my intentions?
To be honest, I bet the media is what molded his perspective of snakes. Movies, the news, and plenty of places online tell you that snakes are dumb animals that act solely on instinct. Which, albeit, is partially true. As much as I love my snakes, I know they don't recognize me. But they can certainly pickup on learned cues like snake hook touches. If they all acted on instinct, I don't think there would be a tame snake out there because they don't naturally trust any other animal in the wild like they do humans after socialization.
Snake Discovery Yes, I feel like he was using a lot of defensive arguments like lack of scientific proof - but lack of proof in one thing does not equal lack of proof for another. He is otherwise super great at husbandry with the snakes and I dropped it because we just weren't communicating and it ultimately is not a big deal to disagree on between a couple hobbyists, but any bit of research I have found or conducted myself (small scale, small study groups - things that make for very imperfect studies of course), all lead to certain answers often enough for patterns to emerge indicating these snakes are not just dumb instinctual machines; that given time they can learn certain things. Simple, yes, but it is a survival technique. Like remembering what prey makes you sick or not. I wish he would understand this because he kept saying every defensive or fiesty snake was totally impossible to condition and I just do not want to deter people from this passion with that reasoning. I don't like to assume my answer is the best answer either though. It is tricky. I wish there was way more large scale studying going on from reputable sources and being published online to find.
Essex Hognose What do you mean by tap training? Use a hook when you intend to hold the snake so it learns that you’re going to hold it and not feed it?
I use a black glove. I hand the rat to my snake with the glove, so he knows when he sees it he’s getting food, so I’m can safely grab him with my bare hands very easily. It also helps that he’s the most docile snake I’ve ever seen, but my point still stands.
Great video! I use the "confident grab" to handle my bp. Teaching my kids to do the same, as they are still kind of nervous. Thanks for making this video. I will show it to them so they can better understand.
hey! a year ago we brought a snake, and he was quite aggressive, so we had a tough time handling - but after watching this video we handled him for the first time without (much) trouble and I just wanted to say thank you!.
Emily I usually quietly lurk around and in stealth mode watch your vids lol. Your expertise around these animals is awesome. Keep up the good work, you know your stuff!
Oh wow! I’m coming back to this video from Aug. 26 2020 and Popeye has made some amazing progress since he has been in your care! Thank you for always being willing to take in and rehab sick and needy snakes! You guys are awesome.
I won't guarantee this but Garter snakes are known as one of the most docile snakes when handled. So, every time I have caught one I've never been bitten. So my assumption is yes, as grabbing them away from their mouth assures getting bitten is just all the more unlikely. However they can still bite, just want to make that clear.
@@crimson5958 Well, coming back 3 years later, I've caught more garter snakes than I can count haha. Taken plenty of bites as well, to be honest it's just part of the experience. Garters have anticoagulant in their saliva and a rear fanged venom that can sometimes result in a mild allergic reaction, but they're practically harmless. Their musk is the worst part about grabbing them imo lol.
Emily can you show these techniques with small snakes, like a baby hognose? I feel like their head is everywhere if I reach for the body, the head is still within a inch! I know the bite won’t be bad, but the hissing is so convincing!
Random thought....i know it's typically rule of thumb to feed a snake a meal the size of its thickest part...does this apply to underweight snakes also? such as the burmese python in the video.
I just want to say, thank you very much for the advice, I like snakes but I don't know how to handle them and we get wild snakes in the garden. So I like knowing how to safely remove snakes although seeing how to do a confident grab and actually doing it is not easy as I was able to remove a slug eater snake safely from the garden so that it won't get harmed by the lawnmower, but the snake did tag me twice in the effort of trying to get a grip on it initially. I just wander what different techniques to use against venomous species such as black mamba and the green boomslang that also sometimes appear in the garden.
Doubt you have time to hel with individual questions in the comments but......I've had my corn snake a week. The pet store said she's around 4 months (she's about 10 inches long). I carefully removed all the hides so I could pick her up but she went into full blown panic and whizzed around her enclosure at incredible speed. No way could I have "grabbed" her. I was scared for her and actually shaking myself......haven't tried again since. Its impossible to try the methods shown here because she just moves soooo fast. (Also tried a hook but that didn't work because of the sheer speed she was moving). Like everyone else, a huge part of the pleasure in owning a snake is to handle and interact. I would be really grateful for any help or advice. I watched loads of your videos and they all helped me prepare for being a first time snake owner but really don't know how I am ever going to even catch her, let alone handle her! Thank you.
Not much! She did a video on bites, you can see those for some more info. Tags hardly hurt at all, just a little sting. It's more of a shock than a pain. Would much rather get tagged by my BP than bitten by my cat in terms of pain. Feeding bites are usually a bit worse, but i won't go into detail cuz there's a lot of factors going on there like where they bite, if and how long they hold on, if they twist or wrap around you, etc etc. Just watch her video on snake bites
If you feed one in a separate bin, would any of those techniques work to get the snake back in the enclosure without the risk of the snake losing it's meal?
hey Emily I love your videos and I was wondering if you could do a video on corn snake facts because this coming Sunday, 4/7/19, I am getting an albino corn snake because about 3 months ago my ball python snok, that's how you say it his name is snake with no e, died because he wasn't eating and would like to get more facts on corn snakes from you because I don't know if google would be the best source and if you do the video thank you so much Emily! :)
I am having a hard time finding advice on handling and taking down larger ADULT snakes like red tail boas. We took in an adult/subadult bci from someone who was out of other options. Now we’re not sure if we need to invest in new equipment or rehome her to a more experienced handler.
LoL I have a Pueblan milksnake that I am working on to tame him. He always bites me after I pick him up, but it doesn’t hurt a lot. I kind of feel he tells me I told you not to. LoL, he calms down right afterwards and stays still. He is so funny, and I see progress. I named him Max.
I need to start using the confident grab for my ball python he's got quite the attitude. Food aggression isn't an issue because I knock on the viv at feeding time~
i use the lid for all my corn snakes ball pythons and one king snake, stopped with the king snake and tong feed him because he will bite himself if set down into a feeding container and once he bites himself we have to grab him behind the head and spray him with water until he lets go.. he has bit himself many times and caused possible scale damage on himself... probably why we got him so cheap cause he is so old and damaged. the owners probably got sick of him biting himself.
Hi um so I have a question if you have a snake as a pet how do you make it love you and make it calm and friendly can you please make a video about it cause I really don't understand
fun fact, when at petssmart, they let me hold a ball python, and she struck at me, but didn’t open her mouth, I was confused as to why, but after she calmed right down she was a real sweetheart, I guess she was confused as to what was going on?
One of my kings, an albino king snake is kinda aggressive no matter what. Even if she doesnt try to bite at the moment i open her enclosure, she will always tag me even after 5, or 10 or even 15 minutes in my hands. She is just chillin and suddenly snaps and bites. I do not have a problem with my other corn snakes, milk snakes, hognoses snakes, pythons and boas, even with my other normal king snakes. Just this one.
question, how can you tell if a snake is venomous or not? i'm very interested in snakes, and i have rattlesnakes where i live, so i want to be cautious. i also want to make sure my sister will be safe.
The best way to know if the snakes in your area are venomous is to do your research on the local snakes and get familiar with them. In my area I also have rattlesnakes, and we also have gopher snakes which look very similar to rattlers but are non-venomous; most rattlesnake bites around here are from people actively disturbing them, trying to pick them up, or mistaking them for a gopher snake.
I've managed to stay pretty free of snake bites myself, so I'll share my top techniques: 1. Live my entire life in Ireland and New Zealand, 2. don't own snakes, 3. don't climb into snake enclosures at the zoo. Been working pretty well so far.
is that an avengers belt buckle?? ha have you ever heard of or are there any snakes that become more aggressive as they age? like your burmese python? will he stay friendly
i got bit my snake and i lost my confidence to pick him up now… i’m tryna get my confidence back but it’s a hard. trying to remain confident and all but im considering getting a snake hook for my corn snake. sucks i lost my confidence and idk why i did cuase i love my snake and the bite wasn’t even that bad. just the strike makes me jump and all
can u do a video of how to get over the fear of getting bitten by a snake whilst getting them out of their cage.......... i definitely need help cause when i tell myself “ok let’s get you snake out” i feel all confident but then when i actually go to get the snake out i start shaking and i feel extremely nervous about getting bitten........ if your reading this while scrolling through the comments could you please put pointers to help me😁😫
My snake is also kinda agressive when in the enclosure, but once out, he is just fine. I think this may be my fault; I stopped taking him out so ge got wilder :(
It is possible to stress your snake by overhandling it. This can be due to differences in heat and humidity outside the enclosure but also to the fact that moving them around too much is unnatural for them. Ball Pythons in particular are a very sedentary species. I have multiple snakes so I will handle one on most days of the week, but that means each animals gets handled one day of the week at most, and not within 48 hours of feeding them. They are most comfortable at rest in a proper habitat. Some animals are so stressed by handling that they are relegated to be purely display animals, observed and appreciated for their beauty but not touched unless absolutely necessary.
How to avoid snake bites: Step 1: Don't get a snake Step 2: Don't go to places where there might be snakes. Step 3: If snake have been spotted near you, push friend or innocent passerby on it to distract it from biting you. Have A Great Year.
Can you make a video about how to work with King Snakes that think everything is food? I handle mine almost daily and he bites my fingers, my arms, my hair, etc. in his quest for food. After I've already pulled him out and we are sitting and watching TV. How on earth do I settle this down? I have 20+ snakes but this little CA King is a special little noodle LOL There is absolutely no information anywhere on the internet about what to do with these always hungry brats, haha!
Ahhhh. I'm learning so much from you! My mind is stimulated and my love for Jehovah's amazing creations, grows. To me, it seems that spatially, the 'S' formation gives the snake some 'slack' that allows them to use more of their length to strike out further. Thank you Emily! #TakeCareBeWellDoGood
Lol I’ve literally picked up wild snakes no problem, yet my legs get to shaking when I pick up my 4 foot ball python with a confident hook grab. I’m like ahhh now what, my mind instantly went back to bite mode. She bit me before when I first got her and tried to clean her cage. She is spooked from my trembling, I’m spooked by her cute noodle head. I kind of wish I got a baby to start with, but here we are 🥴
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the advise!
After 2 years of fearing my corn snake and her bites I've finally been able to pick her up with the 'confident grab technique' and she didn't even attempt a bite, thank you for helping me to grow the balls and pick her up to give her a better life.
This is essentially the same reason I'm watching this, except mines a ball python
bruh you had a corn snake of all things for 2 years and were afraid of a bite

Wow..,Long Story
LONG COMMENT AAAAA
Kat Mann it felt like I just read a book
I am also food aggressive, can relate. 😂
I was gonna say that these techniques come is quite useful with keeping my husband in-line!
Jennifer Morley same😂😂😂😂
@@hannahpumpkins4359 maybe your husband is a snake in some universe
Oof same
Same
I certainly advocate tap training with a hook when entering a cage or tub to emphasize it's not feeding time and handling instead
Essex Hognose What do you mean by tap training? Use a hook when you intend to hold the snake so it learns that you’re going to hold it and not feed it?
Hey my corn snake is not eating he hasn't eaten in 4 weeks I'm a not worried!? What do I do?!?!.
Ila T. There’s a video on that!
I use a black glove. I hand the rat to my snake with the glove, so he knows when he sees it he’s getting food, so I’m can safely grab him with my bare hands very easily.
It also helps that he’s the most docile snake I’ve ever seen, but my point still stands.

Snake: I wanna go play outside!!!
Great video! I use the "confident grab" to handle my bp. Teaching my kids to do the same, as they are still kind of nervous. Thanks for making this video. I will show it to them so they can better understand.
Wow, this is a really old video. I remember this intro and it gives me so much nostalgia
Aw baby Popeye! He was so small and it's funny to hear he was food aggressive and then watch the feeding race video where he just ignores the rat.
hey! a year ago we brought a snake, and he was quite aggressive, so we had a tough time handling - but after watching this video we handled him for the first time without (much) trouble and I just wanted to say thank you!.
Emily I usually quietly lurk around and in stealth mode watch your vids lol. Your expertise around these animals is awesome. Keep up the good work, you know your stuff!
I have seen cage aggression in dogs. Never thought about it in snakes. Makes sense though. The dog are usually calm and friendly when they are out.
Your videos are all SUPER helpful! I am getting my first snake tomorrow!
Omg all the best be safe 😉
How many snakes bites do you get in a week?
Rebekah Bridges-Tervydis l think 0
Brad is beautiful and I hate snakes but you guys handling them easily makes me feel way more calm and relaxed.
Oh wow! I’m coming back to this video from Aug. 26 2020 and Popeye has made some amazing progress since he has been in your care! Thank you for always being willing to take in and rehab sick and needy snakes! You guys are awesome.
Nice to see an old video and how the quality of the vids have changed over the years (oh and I am the lucky 200th comment!)
"How many snakes do you have?"
Emily: *Yes*
**YES**
O personally don't like snakes, but your love for them it's admirable
Who doesn’t get food aggressive when they’re hungry?!? 😂
Hangry, very hangry
They are so beautiful!!😍🥰
the confident grab technique works with my chihuahua as well as my corn snake 😂
I like what you got. Good job.
Plastic lid technique is my personal favorite for more aggressive ball pythons, they are rare but still plastic lids are great
Rick and morty stickers. Beautiful animals and I think I saw Pokemon! All my favorite things
Enjoying searching out your old vids, and couldn't resist raising the comments to an even 200 😂
Nice Avengers belt buckle! :-)
Avenger's belt buckle? Rick and Morty stickers? Snake handler?? Coolest person ever.
Could you do a video on the basic genetics and terms for different morphs in the future?
I added it to the list, thanks for the idea!
Can you give a link of were we buy that snake hook
love the rick and morty stickers! (and of course, you and your snakes too!)
me toooo!!!!😁😁😁😁
how did you get you'r snake how many do you have
Can you make more videos about your turtles I am looking to invest in some and would love to learn more
Will the confident grab work with wild snakes? Like garter snakes for example.
I won't guarantee this but Garter snakes are known as one of the most docile snakes when handled. So, every time I have caught one I've never been bitten. So my assumption is yes, as grabbing them away from their mouth assures getting bitten is just all the more unlikely. However they can still bite, just want to make that clear.
Somewhat yes if you want to see it in action go the brave wilderness
I have generally caught wild garter snakes by grabbing their neck. I learned this when I was about 10 and I've never been bitten yet.
Yes a lot of the time not all ways .
@@crimson5958 Well, coming back 3 years later, I've caught more garter snakes than I can count haha. Taken plenty of bites as well, to be honest it's just part of the experience. Garters have anticoagulant in their saliva and a rear fanged venom that can sometimes result in a mild allergic reaction, but they're practically harmless. Their musk is the worst part about grabbing them imo lol.
Do you have a video explaining how you made your rack system?
Will Thomas We'll be making one while we build our brumation rack soon :)
heather is one of my best friends name, and i always chuckle to myself when you bring that fussy girl out haha
Snakes are so cute!🐍
Really enjoying your channel. ❤️
Emily can you show these techniques with small snakes, like a baby hognose? I feel like their head is everywhere if I reach for the body, the head is still within a inch! I know the bite won’t be bad, but the hissing is so convincing!
Random thought....i know it's typically rule of thumb to feed a snake a meal the size of its thickest part...does this apply to underweight snakes also? such as the burmese python in the video.
great work and nice suggestions.
I just want to say, thank you very much for the advice, I like snakes but I don't know how to handle them and we get wild snakes in the garden. So I like knowing how to safely remove snakes although seeing how to do a confident grab and actually doing it is not easy as I was able to remove a slug eater snake safely from the garden so that it won't get harmed by the lawnmower, but the snake did tag me twice in the effort of trying to get a grip on it initially. I just wander what different techniques to use against venomous species such as black mamba and the green boomslang that also sometimes appear in the garden.
It is cool that even all these year ago she still told use why a snake was underweight to cooo I can tell you use of tubs has changed
What type of enclosure would you suggest for an egg eating snake besides a rack?
just gonna say love those stickers
**uses snake hook on garter snake**
Doubt you have time to hel with individual questions in the comments but......I've had my corn snake a week. The pet store said she's around 4 months (she's about 10 inches long). I carefully removed all the hides so I could pick her up but she went into full blown panic and whizzed around her enclosure at incredible speed. No way could I have "grabbed" her.

Good information
Do these techniques work with just pet snakes, or wild ones too?
Does it hurt when you get bit
Not much! She did a video on bites, you can see those for some more info.
Tags hardly hurt at all, just a little sting. It's more of a shock than a pain. Would much rather get tagged by my BP than bitten by my cat in terms of pain.
Feeding bites are usually a bit worse, but i won't go into detail cuz there's a lot of factors going on there like where they bite, if and how long they hold on, if they twist or wrap around you, etc etc. Just watch her video on snake bites
Have you been bitten by a puppy? It's like that but it's less painful. If you're bitten by a hognose for example it's like a pathetic jab.
Can these be used for people aswell??
PheonyxSings yes, yes they can
Can you do a all my snakes video
Yikes, roasting other channels now (SnakeBytes) 😂😂😂
I missed it! Are you referring to the title or a moment in the vid?
Thanks I mite use confident crab I’m not afraid of my corn snake she just sometimes when she’s in a mood she does a bluff strike thanks💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🐍

Great. Thank you.
Id use these for my southern black racer but its impossible (snake hook hasnt came in yet) (not risking her getting injured by striking a lid)
Hi um so I have a question if you have a snake as a pet how do you make it love you and make it calm and friendly can you please make a video about it cause I really don't understand
snakes can't feel emotions. they can't love. you can teach it to not be aggresdive by making it understand that you're not a threat, but that's it.
What about wild snakes? We have a lot of there where I live. My horse almost got bit once
fun fact, when at petssmart, they let me hold a ball python, and she struck at me, but didn’t open her mouth, I was confused as to why, but after she calmed right down she was a real sweetheart, I guess she was confused as to what was going on?
My snakes a “sneak biter” she bites while you hold her and does no strike pose. What should I do?
One of my kings, an albino king snake is kinda aggressive no matter what. Even if she doesnt try to bite at the moment i open her enclosure, she will always tag me even after 5, or 10 or even 15 minutes in my hands. She is just chillin and suddenly snaps and bites.

ok
Do you have any poisonous snakes
is that an avengers belt buckle?? ha
have you ever heard of or are there any snakes that become more aggressive as they age? like your burmese python? will he stay friendly
on a scale of 1-10 how much does the first bite hurt
I wish this video popped up in my recommended sooner
are these snakes venomous?
Nice dogs
i got bit my snake and i lost my confidence to pick him up now… i’m tryna get my confidence back but it’s a hard. trying to remain confident and all but im considering getting a snake hook for my corn snake. sucks i lost my confidence and idk why i did cuase i love my snake and the bite wasn’t even that bad. just the strike makes me jump and all
im glad to know that im not the only one who shields themselves with a lid lol
can u do a video of how to get over the fear of getting bitten by a snake whilst getting them out of their cage.......... i definitely need help cause when i tell myself “ok let’s get you snake out” i feel all confident but then when i actually go to get the snake out i start shaking and i feel extremely nervous about getting bitten........ if your reading this while scrolling through the comments could you please put pointers to help me😁😫
If only past Emily could see where she is now
Also EM WAS SO QUIET BACK THEN! -internally screaming-
I like the fact you have a banner but no about
My snake is also kinda agressive when in the enclosure, but once out, he is just fine. I think this may be my fault; I stopped taking him out so ge got wilder :(
I have a snake and it is a red tale bowu
When ever your intro happens after a few secs of before the intro I like to say this... ssssSnake Discovery
You know like a snake hiss
Does someone here know if it's true that If you hold your ball pythons too often he or she can get problems?
It is possible to stress your snake by overhandling it. This can be due to differences in heat and humidity outside the enclosure but also to the fact that moving them around too much is unnatural for them. Ball Pythons in particular are a very sedentary species. I have multiple snakes so I will handle one on most days of the week, but that means each animals gets handled one day of the week at most, and not within 48 hours of feeding them. They are most comfortable at rest in a proper habitat. Some animals are so stressed by handling that they are relegated to be purely display animals, observed and appreciated for their beauty but not touched unless absolutely necessary.
what if you find a venomous snake in the wild then what
0:50 y no bite?
How to avoid snake bites:

Love you so much when I get mad you make happy
Can you make a video about how to work with King Snakes that think everything is food? I handle mine almost daily and he bites my fingers, my arms, my hair, etc. in his quest for food. After I've already pulled him out and we are sitting and watching TV. How on earth do I settle this down? I have 20+ snakes but this little CA King is a special little noodle LOL There is absolutely no information anywhere on the internet about what to do with these always hungry brats, haha!
I dont have a snake hook and there's a copper head in the back yard
Ahhhh. I'm learning so much from you! My mind is stimulated and my love for Jehovah's amazing creations, grows.
To me, it seems that spatially, the 'S' formation gives the snake some 'slack' that allows them to use more of their length to strike out further. Thank you Emily!

Lid method is my fav method lol
Lol I’ve literally picked up wild snakes no problem, yet my legs get to shaking when I pick up my 4 foot ball python with a confident hook grab. I’m like ahhh now what, my mind instantly went back to bite mode. She bit me before when I first got her and tried to clean her cage. She is spooked from my trembling, I’m spooked by her cute noodle head. I kind of wish I got a baby to start with, but here we are 🥴
The good old days
I would not get a snake if there is a possibility that even after taming they may bite
All pets can bite,snakes are not a different case
my snake just attacks the hook and doesnt stop attacking the hook
awsome
are snakes wet
I read that she was bitten and died in late Oct. 2018. RIP
Rick And morty!!
