As many of you know, our friend Brian Barczyk has recently been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. This diagnosis has come in the weeks since this video was filmed and may impact the timetable on which he will be available to get together as we said we would in this video. Please, if you can, pray for Brian and his family and support him. He has the right attitude, and is fighting hard, but this is not an easy fight and he needs a lot of love right now from all of us in the reptile community.

A friend of mine at boarding school lived in Zambia during the holidays and one year he came back after summer holidays and told us about his encounter with a massive black mamba out in the bush. It crossed a narrow path about 20 feet in front of him. Came out of the grass slid across and disappeared into the grass on the other side. If he had been a few second earlier going along the path it might have bitten him and being a child he would never have made it home. He always insisted the hippos that lived near his house were more dangerous though. 😱

@Stroh538 8 месяцев назад

He's not wrong, Hippos kill the most people in Africa, growing up in South Africa our parents always warned us on the farm to not get too close to the shrubs around the river because of the Hippos. Sure we feared Nile Crocs but the Hippos were far more dangerous, you could clear a branch or bush and be a few meters away from a pod of Hippos, that would be your end.

@PonderingStudent 5 месяцев назад

Hippos kill more people than lions. They're actually extremely dangerous, much more so than most people realise. A snake just wants to get away and will only bite if it has no alternative. Some hippos actually seem to enjoy attacking people - individual hippos have been documented attacking people multiple times, without provocation - just because the human was there.

Encountered a couple when I lived in Zimbabwe. It is one snake that deserves an enormous amount of respect. A school boy collecting a friend's backpack that had fallen into a ditch next to my office died within 7 hours. The hospital was 10 minutes away. I disturbed one a dirt road in my 4x4. It rose up and hooded, looking me almost in the eye. Closed the open truck window very quickly. The snake was between 10 and 12 ft long, and about half its body was erect. After around five minutes, it lowered itself and headed for the surrounding trees. I have never seen anything so agile, quick and strong moving through the branches. It crossed the 4- 5 foot gap between different trees without effort before vanishing. Not an animal to be trifled with.

The South African Boomslang is also a fun animal.

@domvasta Год назад

@foobar201 boomslangs aren't particularly dangerous. We didn't even know they had venom until someone's pet one bit them, and he thought it would be funny to let it keep going, then he went about his day normally, went to sleep and didn't wake up the next morning. Most rear fanged snakes are like that, they need to walk their way up so you get bitten by the venomous fangs. Boomslangs aren't anything like a Black mamba. If a boomslang was loose, I would pick it up and put it back in its enclosure. If a black mamba was loose, I would run away.

The only thing I wish was added, was a clip of when Chandler first got and handled Allison, as well as a clip of Dingo going toe to... tail? With one of the black mambas he's come across in the wild. The sheer athleticism of the mamba cannot be understated. It's less like a garden hose, and more like a firehose turned up to full with no one hanging on to it. That would have really cemented the idea that a pet, does not, a mamba make. Both Allison and Coby are just too chill now- like night and day, compared to their wild cousins.

Love you guys! Chandler is the man!!! And although I don’t really follow Brian I have recently subscribed after hearing of his diagnosis. To be honest his silliness kind of put me off many many years ago. But as I’ve aged I’ve warmed up to him. I’ve also realized there’s too much hating in the community. There’s still a couple of people I can no longer watch because of their personal opinions that they hold that are dangerous to the general public. I’m a man of science and worked in the health care field for nearly 30 years. So there’s that.

I really appreciate these videos where you cover animals that are definitely NOT the right pet for anybody. They acknowledge the beauty of the critter but then point out the reasons you should let professionals handle them. Black mambas are gorgeous by the way, but definitely not the right pet snake for me 8D

@Arthion Год назад

It's interesting, for all the perks that a captive bred normally has I've seen a bloke here on youtube who raised one from hatchling but unfortunately it turned out as the snake was getting used to him it was no longer afraid of him, and even challenging him and I think it even tagged him once, although thankfully he had his own anti-venom. Having that animal be less afraid of you when it's that cantankerous can backfire..

@ledumpsterfire6474 Год назад

"You don't want to wake up with a mamba in your pajamas." God, I can only imagine. I love my ball python, I have zero fear of her and she's only ever bitten anyone a total of three times in several years, all on accident, when we inadvertently made her think it was dinner time. I've never met a more docile snake But let me tell you, even though we didn't skimp on her enclosure, there was still a vulnerability we'd never caught.. And I have never shot out of bed so hard in fast in my life, waking up to her crawling across my feet at around 2am. And she's not even remotely dangerous.

I was wondering when this collab was going to happen. The answer didn’t surprise me. I love that even Chandler who has two in his collection backed you up in this, Clint. Speaking of which, which one was in the enclosure in the video next to you Clint? Was it Allison, or was it Coby? Both snakes were featured in this video, but I can’t tell which one was in that enclosure next to Clint.

@richardmaurer9174 Год назад

As someone who has kept Vampire Crabs, the main thing I can tell you is find captive bred ones. Most of the wild caught ones don't live long, especially with beginners. I'm a experienced invertebrate keeper who has hundreds of spiders, scorpions and other inverts - I tried to keep wild caught vampires crabs twice and failed twice, even though I read every bit of care info I could find. Even the people breeding them who started with WC stock admit they lost a lot of them before getting a breeding colony going. The captive bred ones are supposed to be much hardier. I believe this because improper handling during importation.

The most insane snake I've seen being sold in a pet store would be baby green anacondas. I had to double take to make sure i wasn't seeing things. They had about 10 of them each about a foot long. And I asked a lady there if any were being sold and she said they had been selling around 1 a day since they came in. This was early 2000's but still. It just blew my mind they were selling the largest snakes in the world in a public pet shop.

@Vain-Voyager Год назад

I always consider the king cobra, black mamba & the "ultimate pitviper" ( _B. asper_ ) as the S-tier snakes to handle, more so than those Australian serpents. Sizes are truly crucial factor, especially when it comes to elapids which are agile. I agree that hooks are of no use at all. Besides, venom yield, possible striking positions & temperament are also critical aspects to decide if a species is more dangerous, not just toxicity on mice. The king & mamba are capable of striking long in range & high in position. The more proximal the bite to the brain, the faster the fatality will result since they inflict neurotoxicity.

@sauronthegreat489 Год назад

As a wannabe venomous keeper I must say I love how Clint presents them! I've joked that I'll never name anything toothless unless it's a black mamba since they're the closest thing there is to a night fury lol. I would be curious to see Clint review agkistrodon contortix ( copperhead) or sistrurus miliarius ( pygmy rattlesnake). Those are typically the recommended first venomous snakes in the states atleast. Aspidelaps lubricus is usually the recommended first elapid. Again just curiosity the black pine snake is certainly better than all previously mentioned species lol

@laikaaardwolf3177 Год назад

@@sauronthegreat489 I mean the most basic reason is just that she was gorgeous! Beautiful color and a very dignified and elegant head. She also didn't hide as much as the other snakes, she was often out basking on her rock so visitors could see her and I got to talk to people about snakes. I usually started people with the kingsnakes since they don't look as intimidating and were also out and about, but once they'd gotten over the "eek snake" they often got to see how beautiful Victoria was and appreciate venomous snakes as part of the ecosystem and not monsters. Seeing a 'scary' snake up close, but safely behind glass, and getting to hear that it has a name makes them a bit less intimidating. So yeah, she was pretty and visible and that made her a pretty great educational animal.

@susan-meaaz4879 Год назад

So I have worked handling cobras, king cobras, several viper species, & have handled black mambas! But it's different vibe handling one, even when they're chill & all is good. I'm always a little more on edge with a mamba , than any other hot! They are so wiry and athletic. I'd honestly feel less nervous handling a live grenade. And these interactions were with a snake hook & gloves , and 5 ppl who had 10+ each in the room

This is about the only snake I am genuinely terrified of. I love the belligerent, pouty faces of cobras…. Gaboons are stunning. This one - for some reason - is too wily and slinky and too potent in its venom for my comfort!

@essenceofwisdom6808 11 месяцев назад

The Black Mamba is the Flash of the snake world . Her movement speed and the reaction speed is exactly the reason why she's the most dangerous snake on this planet . The second reason is her highly agressive nature , something which is very unusual among the elapids . The other Mambas are all sweethearts compared to the Black Reaper . She's not bluffing , never .
