Hey Dan, Love your videos! Not only is it wonderful to see you're passion for the unusual and rare species but the housing and care you give your animals is inspirational, above and beyond what I've seen in most of the hobby. Keep it up!
+Jack Oliver In reality my life is filled with working 50+ hours a week doing a job that has nothing to do with animals. My free time, however, is filled with animals. Most of that is the unglamorous job of feeding and "turd herding".
You have a nice place and above all you have nice species there, especially the not often bred big-eyed ptyas. I guess I haven't seen it in the terrarium yet, but it's true that I didn't crave them.
Great Animals! I love all the weird and wonderful Reptiles but most of these sorts of things appear to be practically unheard of here in the UK. Love watching the videos and dreaming though.
The snake at the very beginning is so long!! Idk why, but when they go really far out, and are just kinda hanging in the air like that trips me out lol. I get a little nervous or anxious over it or something hah! Definitely turned it around when it was hanging on the side of your head tho. That was super cute lol. I was like ehhhh.....awwww!!
I love the videos of your collection, it's great to see so many species that are uncommon in the hobby. Your comment down below about "turd herding" cracked me up. I spend a lot of time in my snake room doing that. lol
Wonderful work! Congratulation on the fantastic job getting of such a spectacular and challenging species to thrive in captivity, be handled with confidence, and ultimately per some of vid entries reproduced in captivity. Ptyas carinata with little a doubt, the largest colubrid snake in the world to at least 4 meters total length. Just one small comment; properly, one drops the "P" when pronouncing Pytas = "T-yas"...same case with the Greek "Ptyalism" the gecko genus "Ptychozoon", or Ptychography (/tɪˈtʃoʊɡræfi/ ti-CHOH-graf-ee)...all Greek root PTY words = many examples. keep up the excellent work Dan!
awsome videos man love your collection. whats the best way to get a price list/whats available from you i live in connecticut love the diversity you work with esp the cribos, rat snakes and scrub pythons
I really love your videos I saw you interviewed on Triple B TV. I hope to see a video of your home there but have not seen it yet.? Thank you for the videos.
samasia skipperable My home here in the USA is not exciting but I show bits and pieces of it all the time. The species change often minus my personal collection but I’ve showed it all already. Between expo videos, unboxing and breeding updates I think you’ve seen it all by now.
Nice to see your video again. Love your ptyas. I keep P.mucosus, and hope to breed them this year!. Mine are tame and eat anything i give them, even raw meat(chicken). BTW what are the size of your cages? Cheers from France.
+Patrick Vincent If you feed them enough they can produce many clutches on an annual basis. I have 4' and 6' terrestrial cages and also some larger arboreal cages 3'x2'x4'. Good luck!
I just love the size of those enclosures (and the inhabitants, of course). Are they custom made? Great videos, I'm only recently subscribed but I'm hooked on the quality of your work!
The glass terrariums I had made to order to maximize the wall space in that room. The white melamine caging was somewhat standard but I went to shorter cages so I could stack more levels and also maximize space. Thanks for the sub.
hey love your videos and collection am located in connecticut whats the best way to contact you about availability and shipping? thanks btw love the ptyas and cribos
How do you keep up with the tank maintenance? I'm really interested in keeping maybe 2 or 3 of the larger species to help with the gene pools but I know they are sprayers not layers as far as waste goes. Do you have any videos i could reference?
NaturesJewels They don’t spray, they just poop like a regular snake and the cypress mulch and prococo does a good job absorbing it until I can spot clean.
So the cribos, fwc's and indigo's aren't as bad as some people claim? That would be a huge comfort to know. I'm sure the odor is still something to get used to, if that is possible. Lol
NaturesJewels The Ptyas are not that messy. Drymarchon can be messy but again it depends on substrate. Newspaper is asking for heavy maintenance and no odor control. I never found any of them to be much trouble to maintain or smelly.
@@DMExotics ok. My fears seem to have subsided in that respect. Thank you so much for all you do in the community for reptiles and unusual and beautiful oddballs. Hope to see more responsible educated people keeping these beautiful naturally occurring animals. For now I have lots more homework. Take care.
wow- im blown away. till now i only kept and bred boas and pythons for colormorphs, but these seem really interesting. ive done a little bit of research and found next. to nothing on their price. i guess theyre so rare that no real price exist, but if ud put up a figure range- what would it be? of course age and stuff come into it, but whats the basic rage if ure lucky enough to find some is it? a couple hundret or a couple thousands?
Prices run anywhere from $500-$1000ea depending on who you buy from and how many middlemen are between you and the source.. Captive bred will be higher but no such thing yet.
+DMexotics I'm sorry, it's not a concern as much as trying to ask a learning question. Any new animal I bring into my house I quarantine for 6 months. Taking that thought across to someone of your caliber and all the wild caughts you bring in, I thought I'd ask about your quarantining habits. I'm just trying to learn
+Lance Kirkman You stated that "I keep mentioning how I just got them in and are already sending them out". I am not sure that I said that in this video and the only time I am sending out immediately would be when I am shipping pre-order boxes to wholesale distributors. I have a less glamorous quarantine area which is basically where all of my old racks and caging reside. I would say only about 3-5% of my import shipments actually even touch a cage here and I try to maintain my personal collection to a size that I can comfortably care for myself. I constantly get asked for more videos but the reason I don't make more is because my collection really doesn't change much and I think the same animals over and over again gets redundant.
+DMexotics I did a poor job of wording what I heard you say. You kept mentioning you have shipments in and only a few left. I poorly summarized it as immediately sending out. I was just trying to learn and understand your process. How long do you hang on to them before they go to final homes?
Yes, Keeled Rat snakes are definitely vertically keeled. It is more apparent in wild specimens that do not carry as much body weight as the captive animals that get regular and often feeding.
At the time of this writing I don't have any surplus animals. I do have eggs due to hatch any second and also expect the random import to appear in my shipments.
Hey Dan, Love your videos! Not only is it wonderful to see you're passion for the unusual and rare species but the housing and care you give your animals is inspirational, above and beyond what I've seen in most of the hobby. Keep it up!
That yellow gtp was insane. Beautiful animals and I loved the scrubs in your office.
my favourite reptile videos! and this is possibly your best installment yet. thanks Dan, and good luck with your projects.
Fantastic video. Those cages in the office were phenomenal.
Really enjoy your videos and learning about these rare species. Your passion is so obvious to see. Keep up the great work.
Your videos inspire me to live a life filled with reptiles. Really love what you are doing! Thanks for the video.

+DMexotics yeah that's what I do now haha
I've always enjoyed your videos. love your collection.
That was really exciting to see how you do all the things in your home. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy Thailand! :)
Probably my favorite video of yours man your collection is amazing definitely hope to get on your level one day
Cool vid Dan, really enjoyed this one. Enjoy the upcoming break to Thailand.
Ribbitmefoot ikr!! his cages and set up are on point, way better than most other snake keepers!
Really enjoyed the video as always. Love the localities and species mentioned here, really beautiful animals.
Those snakes totaly amazed me. I love the way you've chose as a breeder. I saw few vids on your channel and i'm really glad to subscribe.

It's been awhile, welcome back to youtube!

U r presenting different stuff here. Ur stuff is really informative & real-stick. ॐ printed on ur 👕 is impressive.
The office displays are nice.

Very nice to see some odd stuff! Thanks
WOW! Something different from the regular 😃😍😎
Pity your in the states. Stunning Collection
Love the video and the snakes, thanks for making the video!
I made a comment about the first snake being super long, but every single one so far!! Wow wow wow.
Great video
Would love to get my hands on a pair.
Hi Dan, what brand of enclosures are they in your office? They look incredible!
They are simple glass cages. Any aquarium manufacturer can make for you.
Nice to see your video again. Love your ptyas. I keep P.mucosus, and hope to breed them this year!. Mine are tame and eat anything i give them, even raw meat(chicken). BTW what are the size of your cages? Cheers from France.

What's the name of the snake and we're could I get ahold of one
Can see a ptyas species being my first snake after watching this... If I can find any in the UK at the point I'm ready.

9:24 he said "no thank you."

Spectacular specimens
3:30 whats the bump under the scales? tumor?
Wild caught animals can have scars, tumors, subdermal parasites....I even removed a pellet from a BB gun once.
@@DMExotics wow, thank you.
And I'm here again for a hundred times already ahahahhaha
Could you please do a video with Brian Barczyk on TH-cam please
pythaia or how do you spell that? They are so cool
*video description
What do you do for quarantining?
I noticed you keep mentioning how you just got them in and are already sending them out.
How does that work?
+Lance Kirkman Which animals are you concerned about?
+DMexotics I'm sorry, it's not a concern as much as trying to ask a learning question.

So dmexotics is new to me.. the pattern gives the illusion that there is a ridge down there back..
Yes, Keeled Rat snakes are definitely vertically keeled. It is more apparent in wild specimens that do not carry as much body weight as the captive animals that get regular and often feeding.
👍👍👍👍
Do you have any of the ptyas for sell?
At the time of this writing I don't have any surplus animals. I do have eggs due to hatch any second and also expect the random import to appear in my shipments.
this snake is your best friends..nice..:D
Have you ever been to Australia and played with our snakes?
I have not
@@DMExotics maybe 1 day Dan ,I'm enjoying going thru your video's,
Like your vids
THANK YOU
My 5+ foot yellow anaconda has enough strength to choke me with just his tail when I let him around my neck
wow you know a bit about snakes then ; )
Old world overdose!
Death to pet rocks!! Damn Ball pythons worst pet snakes ever....ever since the ballcrestiebeardie rise reptile show have taken a huge hit
