My Favorite Arboreal Snake Species - Which is BEST? 

Having a rough night then I stumble on this, a super chill Kevin doing show and tell with some of the most beautiful snakes I’ve ever seen. Nerves settled, calm is had, and my snake ate his dinner. All is well with the world. Thanks Kevin! ❤

Wow I could listen to you for hours and never get tired of hearing what you have to say.

I love the fact that you are super CALM and that you keep your tone of voice calm too and I imagine that all your snakes are very much relaxed thanks to this. In comparison to many others on YT you really have got it, the ideal calm in tone and movement, which is brilliant for your snakes and inspirational for us

Seeing that NERD put out a new video is a highlight in my day. Keep them coming! Kevin, you’re my favorite!

Great video, I have known who you are for years. It is great to see you making videos. In the early 2000s I had a small breeding group of ATB and am looking to get back into breeding and you are a goldmine of information. Keep up the good work.

What I love about the Arboreals and Semi-Arboreals is their Prehensile tails which is a fantastic body mechanism and feature. My big 11 foot male Coastal was outdoors with me and bringing him back in through my front door I forgot I left my fan on high and when I passed through the door the air hit Chewy in the face and he whipped his tail around and whacked me against my left jaw which stunned me and after he smacked me he locked his tail onto my door casing which pulled my feet out from under me and I went down on the floor and it was harmless and he was fine and I wanted to share this story with you because I was laughing so hard I was in tears and I still laugh every time I think back on that experience. Valuable lesson learned big constrictors don't care for the art of surprise LOL

Love the informative videos, I have learned most everything I know to date about snakes from you! I started owning snakes as pets sense the spider ball python came on the market back in about 1998 I started to notice them and just fell in love man. I would still say today that the spider web ball python is my favorite single gene morph out there!!! Thanks for all y’all’s hard work!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐍🐍🐍

Great material inthis video. Very entertaining and educationaly dynamic. You genuinely increase my passion for reptiles and brighten my day. Please keep it up

I loved this video. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed in any of your videos. After all The Evil Morph God can never disappoint!!!!! I think highlighting each species like this is very educational. I enjoy learning about reptiles in general and I gain more knowledge after watching each video you put out, even the funny ones. Keep up the great work Kevin, we love you!!!!!!!

So glad to hear you guys are gonna be doing more species specific care guides. I’ve been thinking it would be awesome if you guys went over specific care for a lot of stuff

Breaks my heart to hear we’re losing these species and my main concern when it comes to keeping is being a part of preservation (certainly wasn’t always ) , They look like little flying angels on the Amazons back , I’d name her Slayer for all the Angels on her back A.O.D. , I was just looking at some Aussie water pythons this morning , I’m falling in love

I really like Solomon Island tree boas. the couple that I've handled have been captive bred and really mellow

Another great vid, my favourite arboreal species is definitely the emerald tree boa. Keep making great content and showing us small channels how to do such awesome content.

Can’t wait for your next video, always appreciate your opinion on how to actually house, feed and care for each species.

Wonderful presentation, as always. Loads of useful information, and great footage/camera work. The visual clarity of the beautiful animals in these videos is fantastic, and the knowledge gained from watching them cannot be matched. Thank you both so much.

Name Her Stitch it looks like it’s stitched together!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

I came to your channel because my best friend made me watch. My grandmother was terrified of snakes and so was my mom. I'm a huge animal lover and I don't know what took me so long but I'm loving them, still a little scary to me but actually seeing how beautiful they are. Thank you for that. You guys are awesome.

I stay looking forward to these uploads! Another great one!

This is such a good video,not many go in such details for this particular snakes you have picked for this video. Looking forward to next part with tips and information.

We're all dying to see you, you're just so amazing and adorable when you talk about reptiles and things that you like, so passionate. BTW I'd like to know how I could get my baby boa to be less headshy because she's got an amazing personality but she doesn't like to get touched at the top of her head.

I love your videos, Kevin, you have so much knowledge you're willing to share and your love of all these animals is genuine. Please keep doing what you're doing!

Loved this video!! Can't wait to see more videos on them!!! Also loved seeing you gus went to Tinley I hope you guys start going every year so awesome to see Kevin chatting with Emily and clint!

Name her bela who h means beautiful in Portuguese. Seeing how she is from the Amazon and the language is primarily portugese its perfect.

This is very informative, I liked learning about the different species, their habitats and traits.

Loved the video and how calm gentle/respectful you are with the animals plus was new and interesting info for me ;) thx....watched it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything

I really liked the different locality highlights and showing different species with similar requirements, would like greater detail and maybe showing enclosures vs natural habitat would be nice

Love the content. I like the educational stuff because I enjoy learning as much as I can. Actually been thinking of getting an arboreal snake of some kind. Just trying to research & decide which species would be the best fit. Keep up the amazing work & content guys!

Arboreal snakes have really become my primary interest. I live up in Canada, so a lot of these species are less commonly available. We just got our first northern emerald tree boa last week. We were told captive bred but some people say its suspect cuz there were no photos of the parents and that we'd have trouble feeding him, etc. He was apparently on a hunger strike for a month and a half and had only been fed live rats from his previous owner. We offered him his first meal with us, a frozen thawed hopper rat (he's about 2.5 years old) and he took it first try! Very solid, fast, hard strike that actually startled me. He's also exceptionally tame. Has not once struck out at us. I wish there was an amazin basin breeder up here. Like you said, it's a dream snake for us, too.

I love these kinds of videos! Thank you for sharing your beautiful animals, I love aborial snakes and look forward to learning more about there upkeep.

Great information and animals. Looking forward to your care video. I'd love to see some cage setups for ETB, GTP, ATB, etc.

Would love to see a live stream where people ask you questions and you answer them while roaming the facility and playing with animals

Absolutely love the calmness you show while handling your animals. The emerald tree boas are sensational looking snakes. Really enjoy watching your videos very interesting & informative keep them coming mate.

Awesome seeing a few different species of arboreal snakes. Amazon Basins are just gorgeous. I hadn't heard about the Madagascar species, definitely one I want to do some research on.

Your videos keep getting better and better. You guys are killing it with the content.

Great Video! Exactly the video I was looking for. In two years I want too start keeping arboreal snakes like Amazon Tree Boas and Green Tree Pythons. I'm doing a lot of research this time. Kevin and NERD people do you plan on making more Tree Boa videos? I will tune in.

Between you and Billie at Mutation creation I’m learning so much about snakes. I don’t even own one. I’m jus trying to get informed on my son and granddaughters new obsession. Think I’m ready to meet his 34 snakes thanks in a great part to you and your team. Special hello from Canada 🇨🇦

Kevin you need to get a mic so we can hear you better!!! I hate missing what you say!!!

Such a dream snake Basin are. Can’t wait to I can breed mine

Another great video. Getting on here kind of late, but this was very informative and well delivered.

I'd love your take on caging for arboreal snakes. Keep the content coming!

@6:11 that gem reminds me of a Mangshan viper at first glance. Love these types of vids.

I had an emerald tree boa that was a 3rd + hand snake, very little history on him. His name was Green Bitey Thing and I loved him with all my heart. The lady I adopted him from (a breeder of pythons) believed he was wild-caught and also told me up front that he might not survive. He had to live his live in a quarantine room where nothing of his ever came near my snakes. I'm sure you guys know the whole procedure where crypto is involved. Anyway - long story short - GBT thrived for a good 3 years, longer than his last owner thought he would, before crashing and passing before I could get him up the road to our vet. Why am I going into my arboreal snake history? I am ready to take on another arboreal and really enjoyed this video that gave some of the differences in temperament. BTW - if you didn't get a name for the female with the crosses pattern - how about Joan (for Joan of Arc) or Dorothy from Wizard of Oz (green, emerald, Emerald City). ;) LOL.

I LOVE arboreal species of snakes. Gimme more!

All good content👍🏻. Always anxious to get more info out of the Evil Morph God! Those criss-cross markings were 🤯

Just really enjoy your educational videos and watching how you handle these animals. So gentle and calm. Very nice.

My Amazon tree boa baby is honestly the sweetest baby snake I've ever dealt with. They're so inquisitive and adventurous snakes.

I love all your vids. You are so passionate and informative about these animals. I go to others pages to just look at beautiful animals, but here I not only get to see beautiful and healthy animals, I also get to learn something. Then every now and then I get to see the goofballs and have a nice laugh. Very well rounded channel ❤💖

Can we name the Emerald Girl Sally?? Like from the Nightmare Before Christmas?!?! The Xs on her back are her stitches holding her cloth together!!

Hi kevin, name that beautiful snake Jax -those markings remind me of the game jacks that I played when I was a kid

I absolutely love Kevin,as unique looking as he is just like his snakes. Idk what it is but he's definitely fun to look at. He's so intelligent and seems to like educating people and I love his views and opinions on live feeding just for the savagery of it. We all know it had to be done but there's a way to go about it and I just love that Kevin does it the right way. He has a huge heart of gold he's very humble and those are qualities everyone should have. Did I mention I love Kevin xoxo 🎸💋💨🐍💚🤘🤙🦎🎃

Kevin, that Sanzinia tree boa is stunning! First exposure to this species. Are babies pretty affordable? Great video, btw!

The main language spoken in the Amazon is Portuguese so she's definitely an Emerald Beauty which translates into Esmeralda beleza in Portuguese. You can always shorten that up & use either word for her name. If you wanted to give her a name that referenced the cross pattern on her back the word cross translates to Cruz in Portuguese I believe. ❤ you guys

Hey Everyone! My name choice for that stunning amazon basin tree boa female with the destinctive markings is HEX short and sweet. Much love guys! Thankyou for an amazing vlog!! I always learn so much!! All the best from Gem.xxx

A collab with Clint , and definitely a video about boelens please! Name suggestions : Venom, Mantis, Slinky, Punisher

Thank you so much for all that you guys do at NERD. Can't even begin to tell you guys how much I've learned from your channel. We need more of this type of education and less of the reptile channel bringing this wonderful hobby down. You guys lift this hobby up along with a few other channels that I watch. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Great video! Love the info about the aboreals. Looking forward to the next one!

Channel is taking off. Great job Guys. Love the videos. My mental therapy. 💖

Videos of Kevin showing off reptiles are the shit. I will always watch. Even if it's not reptiles, keep the insect vids coming too.

love these videos, learn something every video you guys put out

This video was fantastic. I could have watched hours of Kevin showing and talking about those snakes.

Sanzinia!!! I adore the boas of Madagascar. That’s a dream snake for me right there... I have a Dumeril’s boa and my goal is to have a MGB and a Sanzinia as well. There isn’t much care information out there for them though, would you be able to make recommendations or talk about care for Sanzinia and include a segment for them in the next video??

Kevin I could listen to your voice everyday And the fact your so Knowledgeable and informative is even better Good job I don't live near nerd I'd always be there love your vids x

Great content Kevin, definitely keep it coming!

I would name the snake with the "x's" on it, "C.C" for Criss Cross! Lol beautiful animal!! Love the videos keep up the awesome work!

You have so much knowledge, it is very interesting

Wonderful video, beautiful snakes! Loved seeing you handling them, for me they have always been the “scariest” to handle.

Love the video, Can't wait for more of the same. learning how to care for reptiles and how to set up each enclosure bit by bit. keep them coming and thanks for sharing what you know :-) As for the snake name "Gem" as she is one.

That's a magnificent selection of Snakes! The Sanzinia looks incredible.

I love how educational this video was. Thank you for the great video.

Love your channel great content! Very informative and beautiful snakes! Thanks keep em coming!👍🏼😀

Excellent video. I don't have a name suggestion, but I would request more video on boiga divergens as those are certainly my bucket list species. I would love to know your husbandry technique and how they should be kept.

Name idea: kris cross. May have already been said. Beautiful animals. Cant wait for the detailed video on their husbandry specifically. No such thing as too much information. Please keep it coming.

You should name the emerald tree boa Cōātl, which is the Aztec word for snake. I thought that the markings reminded me of Aztec architecture and they also used to worship snakes.

Definitely was impressed how you handled the Green tree. You made it look normal and easy

Name the basin emerald tree boa "Dani California" like that song by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The idea comes from the lyrics "She's my priestess, I'm her priest". Since the marks on her back look like crosses, typical of Christian religion, and priests are one of the holy men associated with the religion. By throwing the concept of the crosses on her back to the epic song by the Chilli Peppers. I'd totally suggest her name be no other than: Dani California.

I know she's already been named , it's been a few years. But her marking remind me of the movie Dragonfly. The markings look like the image the kids in the hospital drew of the waterfall . If you haven't seen the movie I'm not making any sense. But that's what I would have named her. Curious about what you did name her? I just love her. She's so beautiful.

really looking forward to your upcoming cage set ups and husbandry requirements videos!!

How about naming the Emerald Tree Boa Crucibel! That's so cool that she has crosses down her back! I think it's great that the Amazon Basin animals are so docile. I've heard that all the species from there are more easy going.

Arwen. She's the beautiful half-elven princess that wears the white Evenstar.

For a name how about Lunate? Her back reminds me Lunate crosses. Also I don’t comment very often but I just wanted to let you know I love your videos. I look forward to seeing how you set up their habits. At the present moment I do not own any snakes but hope to in the future after I do more research on what type of snake I would like. But having you visually show me the set up and walking through the set up is actually better then reading about it. Also I know you like reading your dm’s but if people are being a little to freaky, you might want to have someone else read them first and filter them out for you. Can’t wait for the next video and have a great day!

Absolutely beautiful snakes! More please!!!!

Just watched a video on Jason exotic with kevin and he was going over some handling techniques. The blackish, grayish, white pied, female retic was out of this world. SHOW THAT BABBY OFF! ITS A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING SNAKE.

Man, that Sanzinia Madagascar tree boa is now my dream snake. I can't stop looking at it in awe.

It's covered in crosses so King Diamond Maybe. Amazon tree boas by far my favorite. the patterns are awesome and the attitude is half the fun. I also really like their eyes. Do you work with dumerils boas at all? I'd really like some better information videos on them I don't really see much.

Very good video. Beautiful animals. I've always loved arboreal's and I've owned a GTP and an Amazon Tree Boa. Thank you for sharing this. It was a great video and look forward to more.

I love tree dwelling snakes and you are right, they definitely are on my bucket list..Thanks for sharing your beautiful Amazon basin beauty's with me I thoroughly enjoyed this video...

I think you should name the snake 'Jewel ' I know, that's a bit unoriginal but I think it's perfect. Emeralds are jewels, Jewels are precious and beautiful ....I think Jewel is a great name for it🐍 Well that and I want to feel special for being the one to name the snake. I think everyone should just agree with me and upvote my comment and call it a day 🤓

Love The vlogs that Kevin is in

Hi Kevin Those tree boa's were so beautiful. I like to hear all the information that you talk about your reptiles. I have learned so much listening to you. I never knew that they all had different patterns. I liked the one that had the cross pattern. Cindy

Great content. Loved seeing the tree boas-so beautiful. My fav was the large brown one ( forgot it’s name)

Green tree pythons & Emerald Tree Boas are absolutely stunning looking animals & I would agree that they are a bucket list species. Question, snake collections... yes, bug collections... yes, Hey Kevin... guitar collections???;)

Great video. love the madagascar tree boas. Nerd rocks .

That Madagascar Tree Boa is beautiful. Green reminds me a little of Anaconda or Water Snake green. Lacks those heat pits which i prefer. I don't think numbers of humans in the issue as much as dumb humans that lack empathy for animals or forethought. But that is an amazing animal, maybe on my someday list for a captive bred obv. Love arboreal anything! Great vid.

Love that Aru Green Tree so stunning

Emerald tree boas are exceptionally beautiful but you can kill them by over feeding them and if they regurgitate it takes a lot out of them so usually the rule is feed a rat and wait until they poop before you feed again. And I know you already know that but now you know that I know what I'm doing when it comes to their feeding.

One thing about a emerald tree boa is that you can't over feed them. They are difficult to keep and I have seen them regurgitate and die from over feeding.

Absolutely one of my favorite topics Kevin as I've always loved the Arboreals :) Absolutely gorgeous animals and as beautiful as they are they deserve to have some attitude and more work with them should be on anyone's agenda that plans to keep any !! I love my semi-arboreals as well but have found they prefer to thrive more like the Arboreals do up off the ground. Excellent advice !! That Madagascar Tree Boa is one stunning snake in many ways reminds me of the Dumeril's with stocky body, colors and similar patterns :) I have an amazing 8 foot male Dumeril's that I cherish :) That beautiful Amazon Basin looks like she should be named Krystl because of the bright white star appearance patterns :)

Love your videos Kevin, more monitor videos please. Would love to see how you keep ackie monitors.

I'd call the emerald tree boa Rosslyn after the chapel used in The Da Vinci Code. I'm not religious but the markings on her remind me of the symbols in and around the wee Scotish chapel. Stunning animal and a stunning building could share a beautiful name ❤ xx

The sweety with the crosses: I would name her Shuriken
