After you showed the Scarlet Snake first, I thought none of the others would be as stunning. And then you kept presenting other snakes that each took my breath away. Each one is wonderful in its own way, and I can’t decide which is my favorite
"I like being able to tell people I've been bitten by more people than snakes. I think it helps them feel better." This is why I love Clint. Also, he should get that put on a t-shirt and sell it. I'd buy it.
Good morning Clint. I just want you say thank you so much for the educational videos you put out. I am a former United States Marine and I am a disabled Veteran. I am 51 years old now and you have inspired me to go back to college. I will be starting in the fall and I will be working on a degree in herpetology. I never knew how much I love reptiles and amphibians. Thank you again Clint for inspiring not just myself, but for countless others. Semper Fidelis.
Hello! I was wondering what degrees you plan to take. As far as I know, herpetology isn’t a major by itself so I’m trying to get some feelers out there.
Yes!! I remember someone commenting something so rude and ignorant, on the Australia trip post! Complaining about him spending money on himself. I was like, ummm we want him to go on these trips so we can go vicariously!! I am totally happy that he gets to sweat and get mosquito bites (sorry Clint, I would take that from you if I could) but I am happy it's not me...but a bit jealous he gets hands on with teh snakes and lizards...but I KNOW there's spiders I would NOT want to be around, let alone see! SO I am VERY grateful that Clint gets to go and he cares enough to show us so much of it!
I was watching the tree boas and noticing how they hold themselves in these weird ways hanging off tree branches and I was wondering what the colors and the strangely specific pose was for when suddenly I realized- shelf fungus! They hold themselves in a way that mimics shelf fungus and their colors also mimic them! Such an awesome video!
Really glad to see the blunt headed vine snake there, they're just so cute. Genuinely my favorite snake just for their silly look. A ribbon with eyeballs.
That scarlet snake is absolutely stunning. It feels wrong to say my favorite snake of the bunch is the first one shown, but they are just so beautiful.
What breathtakingly beautiful snakes! My daughter and I have long been fans of the blunt-headed tree snakes, due to a photo in my Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians…it was delightful to see that you had found a young juvenile!
Reminds me of a book I read once (forgot what it was call, as I was in elementary or middle school at the time) that has images of a cat-eyed Snake (I believe it's a species of blunt head snake?). Super big, cat-like eyes, super long and slender body, and able to stretch out and hold its body stiff to go from tree branch to tree branch.
Clint your videos help me so much! I have had a massive fear of every snake out there since I was little and can remember when the fear started, one time I stepped on a massive snake when I was about 4 in my yard and it hissed and terrified me, not sure what type it was. Another time a garter snake had babies in our front yard shrubs and there were so many it looked like the bush was alive and I was still very little and it totally freaked me out. even still I'd still muster the courage to rescue and garter snakes our family's outdoor cat preyed on (I'd slap thick gloves on and literally scream in fear as i carried them to safety in the woods). Your videos are helping me overcome my fears and realize snakes are not just out to get us. They're animals, they hunt like other predators, but I can't pretend to hate or fear snakes as hunters when my cat used to bring me decapitated bunnies as trophies and I still loved her 🤣 I have two indoor cats now and would never have a pet snake but maybe I will be brave enough to hold one someday thanks to you!
I had at least two bad experiences with dogs before I was 5, and now I both am scared of dogs, and dogs are my favourite animals (never had one, but I've spent some time with dogs). on the plus side, I am extremely polite to dogs. xD
@@gigikat333 well, with dogs I generally blame almost everything on the owners. in my opinion, the majority of dog owners (much more sowith amall dogs) have very insufficient abilities to understand their own dogs (read body language, imagine the dog's state of mind rather than projecting their own onto the dog) and effectively communicate with their dogs (such as controlling their own body language, not talking at their dogs as if they were supposed to understand language like humans, not barking at their dogs to stop barking etc.). it's really strange to me how culturally normal it is to own dogs without understanding dogs, it is so easy and obvious! dogs constantly express how they feel, and so many dog owners don't even know that that's happening because the dogs are not speaking human language! 🤦 humans are supposed to be the smarter ones who can figure out dogs and adapt to them, but so many people somehow seem to think that it's the other way around, and think there's something wrong with any dog who gets confused or scared in those people's environments, because the humans just see their lives as normal and fail to recognise that anybody or any dog could not be automatically familiar and comfortable with everything that they see as normal. they seem to make no attempt to understand anything, they don't even know that they should.
This is probably the best wildlife video and what a shame that you couldn't bring some of them home! There were several that I would love to have and others that I had never seen before. This ranks up there with your best pet reptiles video on King Cobras which was spot on in a number of ways that are not often covered and were extremely important! Keep up the excellent work.
Dear lord that baby blunt head's head and eyes were like 3x bigger than it's tiny body! Thank you for helping it shed, you looked amazingly gentle and I respect that.
Oh my goodness - what beautiful snakes! I've never been afraid of snakes, but I have a healthy respect for them. I grew up in East Texas and once opened my door to a thick black snake. I can tell you I was glad to have a glass door between it and me and that I noticed it before I opened the door and stepped on it. There were just always snakes around when I was young. I could catch 10+ garter snakes every day plus horny toads (that's what we called them), geckos, and anoles. And bugs! So many bugs! My 2 older sisters were always clean but Mom never knew what I'd come home looking like or what animal/insect I'd have with me. I bet you were gave your Mom lots of excitement too! LoL Because you look SO excited in this video! I think I was only able to pledge $5.00 a month (I'll have to go back and check as it's been a little while) because several years ago I developed a seizure disorder and have ended up on disability so my finances are pretty tight. I'm hoping to join my little to others and have it all help if enough of us pledge. You're a wonderful teacher and deliver information with a verve and interest that just makes it contagious. Thank you for taking us along with you and I can not wait for the next Amazon Rainforest video.
What I tell the phobic, snakes don't want contact with people. We're too big to eat & they can't afford to waste venom or energy just to annoy us. Nice trip, thanks for taking us along!
I’m so happy for you Clint! I can’t even imagine how amazing it was to see the Bushmaster in the wild like that. I think they are among the most beautiful snakes on our planet.
I made the mistake of commenting on one of yer comments and now I’m hooked. My eldest daughter thanks you 😂 she gets bored with my history stuff so this is new to both of us. I genuinely enjoy it
clint, i recently read Bushmasters are the only snake that will chase humans with no provocation. You didn't speak bout that fact, IN fact just the opposite, saying they just lay in wait. But regardless, i LOVE every video you make, so TY so much for your teachings.
The Last Coral snake you showed is the one that Chandler Wildlife tried to keep alive. Its sad he did not succeed despite giving a diet and enclosure practically identical to his habitat. I hope one day someone manage to Keep one of theses, that would be a Great step in the keeping of aquatic cobras, maybe one day keeping a marine banded Cobra would be achievable
Amazon Tree Boas are my favourite non-danger noodles, even if they're bitey and twitchy around potential food or threats. You're so lucky you got to handle two of them
I absolutely love your videos and passion for all animals, that aren't mosquitoes! Could you do a pet video on Emin's pouched rats and or Gambian pouched rats? They are my all time favorite animals 😊
Such beauty! They all have the dispositions of wild snakes, I was surprised I could tell how tense they were, even with your gentle handling. Don't get bit!
I hope you released all of those guys back where you found them. Thank you so much for such a great video. It's not often I get to hear about specie of snake I've never seen before.
Those Tree Boas are AWESOME! Glad we have USCBB ones now, but seeing wild ones is always so cool. I hoped to see some wild BCCs or other rare non-boa genus boas too from your trip, but man those Vine Snakes are so awesome too. Thanks for this one Clint!
I hope you’re taking photos of all these snakes! You should do a coffee table type book with all the snakes. You could break them down by genus, or by country. It would be so nice for people outside the reptile community to see just how awesome and gorgeous these snakes are. Even the adorable one with big Googly eyes! I did see all the flashes going off when the Bushmaster yawned, so I KNOW everyone there has fancy cameras! I would love to have a nice book, with big beautiful quality images of all the snakes around the world. Think about it!!
The aquatic coral snake has no business being that cute, you can't be super deadly and hide your cute little face under your body like that, that's illegal haha
