great video he looks just like my new baby king

You lucky duck, Savu's are so friggin cool! As always love the videos! Got a Bredl's and an everglades ratsnake both on target training!

She's doing so great!!

Thanks Lori!

Has Vashti calmed down at all?? haha. She's like shifting a tiger, but the tiger is thrashing about the whole time. OMG, she always makes me jump.

So refreshing to see someone talking about other things besides building the largest enclosure that engulfs your home

One thing that seems tough is reinforcing a snake like an adult boa, who only eats like once a month. I guess it's that much more important to train while they are young, but how would you reward a snake even when it's not feeding time?

Teach your snake to s**t

👌

Excellent content, thank you.

This clarified some questions I had but didn't know how to ask. This video really helped me understand how shift training really works. I think I know where to go next with my snake. Thank you.

Lori would love a video on your thoughts around ball python hunger strikes, whether they're inevitable, what might cause them etc

What is the best like beginner snake ? Im thinking like a small green one. I don't know much about snake thats why your channel is my fav now beacuse it helps me alot thnx Love Safi super excited. 😮

I am sooo glad I found your Channel. Really great Help. Thank you❤

I have 4 cats amd will buy a pvc plastic with glass at front. Thank you for this video. Soo helpful. Im so excited about getting a snake. My friend had snakes. She didn't really know how to take care of them they all died. Im gonna go and do alot of research about snakes. I would love a green one . I recently just fell in love with snakes theyre amazing. Again thank you for the video also i will make a dedicated room for the snake. Imma watch more of your videos. And question dk you still have cats?

do you notice a difference in behavior when you are not filming? auto focusing cameras emit light invisible to the human eye. my dogs and cats, and i suspect, my snakes, react differently as soon as i start trying to take pictures or video.

You and Bob over at Green Tree Pythons have changed how I keep snakes. Being keeping snakes for half a century and I have always provided much larger enclosures than what most would use. I've always kept live plants, real wood as well as DIY items but looking back now this was done more for my pleasure not the snakes. Training a snake was laughable, until watching your videos. I have a young male Ball Python who learned that when the enclosure door is left open and I'm not doing something in his enclosure this is his clue that he can come out, which 75% of the time, he does. I'm ordering one of these play pens today. Thank you and Bob both for teaching this old dog some new tricks, lol!!!! Now it's up to to the rest of us to get these videos out there so others can realize what I have. God Bless

Rodney is looking so good! Love the set up

That's sick! I don't think I can tame a leopard gecko to do that. The best I have is for her to climb on my hand. I wouldn't want a loose gecko

That's awesome! I would love to set up stuff like that for my Cuban false chameleon but lack of space and renting makes it hard.

From personal experience all the 6 macklots I have/have had (except one) have been pretty much identical to yours in personality....I always describe them as inquisitive, gentle, interactive and bold. I really do not understand the reputation they seem to have gotten.

Do you have any recommendations for target training geckos that eat a Pangea paste diet instead of individual food “items”?

Incredible

I always tell myself if I want to handle something to get the cat instead- she loves to be rubbed and held and I have to remember snakes are wired much different

What bedding do you use for him??

Vala’s chirps are ridiculously cute! Love kitties. Would love to see some training videos on them as I work with my own cat.

What graduate school did you decide on?!

None of the vets in my state as fear-free certified. Those that are are 2+ hours away. Wondering if it would be better to have a fear-free vet out of state for check-ups and minor issues and another one close by for emergencies

How do you determine if they’re big/thick enough for the rodent cage?

How would you suggest dealing with a snake that is glass-surfing because they want out but you don’t have the time to let them out at that moment? Maybe offer them an enrichment item?

If my snake is comfortable with my presence in her enclosure, is it still necessary to wait until they’re in a hide box or to block off the hide box exit?

i have a corn snake shes 2,5 years and im afraid to pick her up and i want to over come that but im not exactly sure how exactly to pick her up without her getting stressed and i need some advice. And i need to move her into a bigger cage and idk how to introduce the new cage the best without her getting stressed! Helppppp!!

Every time I let my 3 cornsnakes out of their enclosure (individually, not at once) i rest my hand somewhat far away but still accessible, so they can come up to me if they want to, and maybe climb on me a bit, and every time they end up coming right to my hand, as relaxed as they could be, flick their tongue at it a bit, and then do the slowest bites you could imagine. I generally just let them currently since i don't want to accidentally do more harm than good, but i really would like it if they would stop doing that. Any tips regarding this? they all are relatively young i think (got them earlier this year from a neighbor that moved away). I always use long tongs when feeding, and never let the mice touch me directly. Olus i wash my hands after every feeding (additionally to the regular day to day hand washing) so i don't think it's a kind of scent.

Well that was the most polite and gentle nom ever. 😂😂

Hey Lori, I'm also in CO and I'm looking to get a first snake. Heard you talk about how these are great for folks living in Colorado because they have less humidity requirements. Any other snakes you recommend? Are these good snakes for beginners?

So true!!! Exactly my experience

Thanks Lori ,,,, u is a great one

I really love the 4x2x4 terrariums, they look so cool and fun

The second pothos sadly looks a bit overwatered, they should not stay sitting in water longer that 1h or they will develop root rot

It looks like the pothos has major root rot, maybe from being too dry for too long and then being watered, they can sometimes recover from this if they are being watered consistently. :)

A friend pointed me to EE's burrow buddy hides - truly the most ingenious snake hides I've EVER seen - and got one of those and an "Epic" size playground hoping it'd be big enough for my Brazilian rainbow boa; ended up having a great conversation with the owner and found out he's a sponsor of your channel - which was awesome because your videos have gone a long way to improve my husbandry and my relationships with my snakes! I just got them in yesterday. QUESTION: How do you suspend your playgrounds from the tops of the tanks? Drill a hole & use zip-ties, or something else?

If i could teleport up there I’d build out the rest of the enclosures for you!! Tell those guyscto hang on for a few months and I’ll do it when I can come up next!

I love this tour of the property and the animals. Had no idea you had that many horses and dogs 😊. Busy 24/7 around there. Late watching this: so weird considering I’ve never known snow unless we drove to it. Right now here in San Diego there’s a Santa Ana wind and 74 degrees.

I really want some but couldn't afford them right now. Will be part of when I can do enclosure upgrades since they won't fit yet, would only be able to do them in the playpen. I did get burrow buddies for my 2 royals a few weeks ago and they really like them! They ignored the first couple days as expected, but now most of the time I check on them, they are in them. I love they fit in well and can have something on top. I got the ones with the lid just so I could check on them if needed. I also crocheted them yarn hides but those have been mostly ignored haha. I can tell they've sat on them so I'll take it. I think they aren't finding the entry hole.

Those are VERY cool. What a nice addition to an enclosure. I like how the “rainbow “ one in the black cage looks. Some happy snakes right there👍

Not a big fan of pink, but I love the design. Fixing to the rear wall or ceiling is going to be a winner with all of my snakes!

Love it that’s a great enrichment item For the devils Ivy not doing so well It’s probably humidity The enclosure looks mesh or screen and devils ivy ( pothos ) dose better with its roots damp Add moss to the pot, mist the plant! Give it an brighter led growth light

I wondered when stuff like this was going to start being made...

What size did you get? I have a 6 mo old ball python and I was considering these.

I just bought two of these, one for each twin's enclosure! You must have gotten one of each I wanted because I had to get them in different colors. LOL
