This guy Tim is the real deal good old fashioned aussie that they used to be twenty years ago. His passion for all animals is quite evident that he is the last of the few great ones.
Large constrictors like Betty usually don’t shed all in one piece even in the wild it is rare for them to do a complete shed but rest assured they will get all of it off and be just fine. In captivity the places to be worried about are on the snake’s head and face as the eye caps can get stuck on and if not removed can cause infections and in extreme cases blindness. Hope that helps!!👍😀
@@odinsbeard1117 Thank you! That really helps. I just have a small hoggy and stuck shed is much more dangerous there. I never knew that it is different for large constrictors.
How did she get that injury?? Left for a few more years with no painkillers and 6 scared men manhandling her. Probably could have just opened the bag infront of her and nudged her in that direction. She's shedding too so would have been grumpy. This isn't a nice video. How does a captive snake break its back??? And who leaves an animal in pain for so long with one?
they just make drama A python dosent matter if 2 metres or 8 metres...if you grab the head...the coils cant get any constrict grip...can just do hold grip from tail to head... if python grabs you...then it can coil you up and let go jaws and still constrict ...but python can never constrict you as long you have its neck ..so just hold that neck...
Absolute clowns 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I own not 1 but 4 20 foot 200 pounds female reticulated pythons and I handle all of them on my own and with another friend in cases of medical treatment.
Maybe a daft question but why does the snake never strike once it’s in the bag.. surely it’ll still feel where the bag is being grabbed by someone hand?
They dont attack what they cannot see. They see off thermal body heat from their eyes. Figures of heat basically and when they are covered they cannot see their threat.
Man there trippin I was out like the minute I heard what it was and the size of it I am low-key ✨TERRIFIED✨ of snakes...but hey they did a good thing tho.. that there took allot of guts..
I wonder if Betty was a wild caught reticulated python? Most of the large reticulated pythons I have been around are way calmer than her and a few of them were truly massive animals.
It might be a combination of being wild caught or being born from wild caught, and being allowed to live mostly unbothered. Pet rectics and breeder retics usually have so much human interaction and handling on a more daily basis, being moved for breeding on a schedule, and getting eggs moved that I think they become more used to humans just grabbing them.
Poor thing. But I love that name. She was like leave me alone! I don’t want an xray? I love snakes. I’m wondering if bigger prey items will help the healing too. More calcium.
I know anything is possible but how the heck can a snake out of all creatures have a back injury the whole is basically a back and to injure a snake that way goodness someone must of hit the back of it with something real hard and must of hit that area hard enough to do that
Does she get soaks? Is she IN shed or is it stuck shed? She can't kill all 5 men in a snap. Dangerous for a single person? Yes! So a support or 2 is needed when they get over 12 feet. They're more intelligent than people think. Beautiful snake.
Exactly. Shes not a venomnes so it would talet her time even eating 1 person. I dont know if it is great to have a head reptile that get ”scared out of his mind when doing his Job the shed needs to be taken care of too.
@@malinjohansson6942 It's more to do with the strength of the snake rather than their appetite. A snake like Atomic Betty could easily crush someone if agetated enough. So they have every right to be scared, in a way being scared means they're going to be more cautious and strategic about catching her :)
Atomic Betty died from old age ( 20 yrs old ) in 2016. I wonder if her vertebrae ever fully healed? She's a gorgeous snake but I don't blame them one bit for shaking from nerves! Goodness I couldn't imagine. Hats off to y'all!
not sure if this was all for tv sensationalism or what but you guys should head over to the states and take some training courses on handling giant retics from jay brewer at prehistoric pets or kevin mccurley at NERD
Now if only you could tell her WHY you are ruining her sleep, she wouldnt be so stubborn. Then again, we too can be cranky and unreasonable after being forced to wake up😂
It is strongly recommended that you not handle a snake over 10ft by yourself. If for some reason you get wrapped up then there is a very good chance you won’t be able to get out of it without the help of another person (and could prove fatal). I wouldn’t handle anything larger than my 8ft boa on my own.
glad to see you are not being woke and putting women in this situation where strength is vital. It's not sexist. Us women are just not as strong. Except fucking Betty. lol
That snake was in a place where she usually is not because she senses from miles away that something's up. Your frequency tells her to be on alert. Every time you guys need to catch an animal you are totally oblivious of what you are emitting. We people broadcast non stop. We're electrical beings and the frequency you emit when you're under stress is making the animals stressed as well. You are basically passing on your own tension to the animal that needs care. It's time to enter the 21st century and to start working with an animal communicator so that you can simply explain the animal that you want to help it and how you're going to do it. You can explain surgery, anesthesia, vaccination and the like. They are not stupid. I'm baffled by how little you know about animals and how you can interact with them in a normal and calm way. If that is your full-time job then you should learn about telepathic communication. Not only will you be able to work together with the animal but it's also a great help when you need to diagnose a medical issue or when you're dealing wirh an animal with behavioural issues. I went to see a vet for my dog. He said that it was a hip problem. I wanted a second opinion and went to another one who said that it was his knee. I was puzzled and not planning on running from 1 vet to another so I booked a session with an animal communicator to have a chat with my dog. He told me that it was his hip, that it was genetic and that he needs to swim. It turned out to be a displaced hip. Animals are very good at diagnosing their ailments. On top of that they often know very well what they need in order to get better. A good start for learning more about animal communication/telepathy is watching the full docu with Anna Breytenbach. Animals are smart. They are our teacher and we should treat them with dignity and respect instead of behaving like a moron and using medieval tactics. It's time for the team of the reptile park to educate themselves!! We're no longer in the fifties.
