The idea of a doctor walking to the other side of the room, with his back to you, as you're slowly dying and you hear ... "well hi there!" made me laugh out loud. 😂😢
I like how Tom Crutchfield's calm and easy interactions with them had virtually no impact on their handlability score. Good call. He's basically the Arthur Curry of reptiles so no one should watch him and think "I could do that."
I met a mottled white speckled rattlesnake in Joshua Tree Park that was totally friendly, meant nobody any harm and seemed to enjoy having human visitors, and she definitely liked being touched on her underside. She's tied for most mellow and friendliest wild snake I've ever met (we have red bellies around here that about 1/2 of'em seem to like people, probably for the warmth, and I've met some really incredibly tame wild eastern hognoses, a few uber mellow rosy boas, and that rattlesnake (I go herping whenever I can, lol)).
I agree with you. I started following Clint because my 5 year old is very into snakes and we watch his videos together. He has a child like love and wonder for nature that we should all strive for
Clint to be honest at this point when I hear viper I don't consider getting it I'm just here to learn a little about the snake and see which one is absolutely the worst pet
I think, as far as "absolute worst pet" goes, Mangshan vipers are probably at the very top of the list. Extremely exotic, lightning fast, hospitals have no idea they exist, and no antivenin is just a recipe for getting real dead real fast. Even an expert keeper like Tyler Nolan nearly got tagged and you can tell from his reaction that he knew what the consequences would've been.
@talravid3966 There are definitely some dangerous elapids. No question. But I think the reason snakes like the Mangshan are so dangerous is because they're so exotic. Exotic enough that they don't have an antivenin. Meaning that if you get bit, it's a death sentence. But there are definitely some dangerous elapids who are just as exotic.
@chrissizemore8705 yea but unless you keep it as a pet or go in the wild with flip-flops they r not really dangerous just see where you walking you know
I was so heartbroken when Tom's main Mangshan Mae Mae passed earlier this year. They are beautiful, but Tom is part of the .01% of keepers and shouldn't be copied
"...though setting aside a hundred grand or so for medical bills and funeral expenses, might not be a bad idea." Best line I've heard in a YT video in a very long time!
I think this is the first time I have seen Clint SO animated about Ridge! It's as infectious as his knowledge of reptiles! "HPYER LIME!!!! HYPER LIME!!!" 🤣
I know these videos aren't meant to be satirical, but when I hear "is the (insert deadly snake name) the right pet for you?" I can't help but laugh a little, on the inside if nothing else.
These videos are veey much satirical. Clint makes it very clear that if you are going to get one of these you should not be watching his videos to learn
I loved the ones where he was like: "is the (insert _very_ well known, _insanely_ deadly snake species name here) the best pet for you? No. No it is almost certainly not."
I hadn't noticed until I heard near, 8:18 , about Skeletor, "...my gentle touch actually relaxed her from a state of high agitation," that I also, had been relaxed and calm for a while without noticing the temporary retreat of the long constancy of grief, confusion, and many-faceted stress and anxiety that I live with on the daily. That was a sweet moment of calm that doesn't come often or easy for me these days. I cherish moments like this, and I love being surprised into them from unexpected sources or at unexpected times. Clint, you did something to my own flighty anxiety during this video and that's pretty damn awesome. I see why you are so good with the creatures you love and interact with. They get it. They clearly know the language you're using with them. You're telling them in every important way how you respect them and while you could be, you're not at all a threat. Some old, core, part of me reacted in that same way to your calm and centered education about a stunningly beautiful and fantastically cool snake that is remarkably celebratory for every other sentence being how much respect you must have to be around them and how bad it could very easily go for you if you don't. Oh man, I know this sounds dramatic but trust me, it's real. I got it so clearly at that moment, you were being the person you are and that you need to be around such dangerous creatures, and that way you were being calmed me down, in the same way Skeletor was calmed. I was a tense mess consciously, at that time, but somehow I left the back door open in my brain, and my animal brain took in your communication that you were safe and respectful and celebratory and accepted it and relaxed. It took my conscious brain a while to even notice it had happened. That is an unexpected moment of being profoundly affected by such a profoundly simple thing. Nice. Very nice. Thank you. I'm really tickled by it. "Murder missile!" Oh my god...dead
0:20 Tyler being barefoot is completely nuts. Had he been tagged on the foot, which could have very well happened, just imagine how stupid he would have felt for not wearing boots.
Less stupid than he did after literally playing with someone else's King Cobra the way you would a puppy, for no reason? Tyler seems like a decent guy, but if he doesn't already know his cause of death he's the only one.

I don't know how much you know about the incident and about snakes in general, so I apologize in advance if you happen to already know what I am going to say. That king cobra was in shed, so it could barely see anything, they brought it outside to take pictures while it was a hot, sunny summer day, while Tyler perfectly knew what it meant (both the sun and shedding). I think that they had been interacting with the snake for quite some time too. They literally had every red flag and he still handled the cobra the way he did.

But again idk, I've not handled them or been in that situation, so I'm not an expert
@@StonedtotheBones13 I think that becoming complaisant is actually a huge danger. Like you said, it can become tiring to always work the safest way, since it requires more efforts. While I do not own any venomous reptile either, people who do probably have an idea of what they can get away with, especially over time. The problem is that you cannot afford a single mistake. Tyler was really lucky to survive. He had very quick access to antivenin, which isn't something that most private keepers can rely on. You also don't know in advance if you are allergic to any specific venom, and that kills people in a matter of minutes. I think that the effort to work safely is simply a part of what comes with owning venomous animals. People with an audience like Tyler should especially make that effort and advocate for the safest practices. I don't want to pile on Tyler, but one really has to be self-centered not to realize that a part of their audience looks up to them for advice and as an example. The guy literally says that he's been around snakes for his entire life. It's not hard to imagine that there are people who won't have enough critical thinking to realize that he acts in an unsafe manner.

🐉🐲🦎Hey Clint, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a RUclips Videos all about the Flying Dragons (Draco), The Best Pet Agamid Lizards on the next Clint’s Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!🐉🐲🦎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
I honestly really love how you apply harm reduction principles to keeping dangerous pets, way more useful than just saying it's a bad idea and leaving it at that
Hey Clint, another wonderful vid about an amazing animal! *VIDEO IDEA* Do a video for ER staff & first Responders: A quick guide to assessing suspected envenomations. A big ole disclaimer would be necessary, and a guest with medical credentials too probably. Or even better, A How NOT to video; make it your own with comedic elements, but use it as a vehicle to educate (of course) A comparison of the different types of creatures one may encounter in the hobby and the effects of their various venom types, their actions and presentation would be pretty cool!
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA Please repost this idea again on his other newer videos!! Since it’s been 10 months I don’t think he saw this. You should get all credit for this idea. Don’t stop posting this comment under new videos until he replies lol
Our ball pythons have all been trained to eat in a 40 gallon Rubbermaid container. One of us puts the rodent in, the other puts the snake in - that way there's no risk of rodent scent on the one handling the snake. The snake goes in after the rodent, that way the snake never associates things coming into the container with food, instead, the snake knows that the food will be in there, resulting in over excited snakes simply leaping out of our hands into the container rather than striking at things coming into it. Once they've eaten, they calmly allow us to remove them because they know things coming into the container will only be us and not food - we have never had an accidental strike since we initiated that SOP and the snakes recognize the container, so they never go into feeding mode until they see it. For additional safety, we keep the container in a different room and bring the snakes to it, meaning that we also don't have to worry about the snake's feeding behavior kicking in while removing them from their tanks since we found out early that some of them get over excited when they see the container, thus making removing them from their tanks potentially dangerous.
@@InSpidersITrust Outdated??? This is reptile care, not fashion kid. If your snakes stress when you handle them then that means you aren't handling and/or socializing them correctly. As noted, the snakes are trained by a decade of the same SOP and as such, they get excited and ready to eat when they see they're being put in the container and after they've eaten, they know they're going back to their home, with them never resisting being picked up and sometimes even crawling into our hand. Ball pythons may act stupid at times, but they're smart and readily learn routines.
Tom is always someone i enjoy seeing. He cares so much for his animals and is truely a real life Ace Ventura. He can calm and handle some of the craziest reptiles on the planet. He's done some great things for the hobby over the years as well.
Ridge wallets! the color busted my eyes, Clint's screaming busted my ears... Excellent service 10000/10! imma get one now (as soon as i can see and hear again XD)
@@frankmanda3620 holding someone in the hobby as long as he’s been to modern standards is weak. I know of his past, it’s public record. Whatever you think you’re trying to prove, you aren’t. The man has still done a ton for the hobby and is a legend. Full stop.
@@tarab4617 I've heard that one time some girl scouts came to his door and he declined to buy any of their cookies. Are you really going to defend a monster like that?
I lived in San Diego until a few years ago, they have a bunch of these at the zoo there. They are definitely super beautiful, amazing snakes, and I always loved seeing them! From behind the safety of glass. Wouldn't want to see one without that barrier.
I saw a Mangshan viper at the Toledo Zoo- probably the most beautiful herp there. I had never seen one in person, and let me tell you, photos and video cant even come close. They're just gorgeous.
Honestly every time you show your time with tom crutchfield the sadder i get that the tiger King guy glommed onto joe exotic rather than making the crocodile monitor equivalent of My Octopus Teacher. The way hes able to interact with reptiles is so impressive.
Yeah Tom will always be a legend when it comes to reptiles it is sad that he isn’t getting the recognition he deserves. We definitely need more people like Tom Crutchfield in this world 🙋♂️✌️
@@pumpkinchowFor real. The way FWC treated him like he was a nobody when he went up to speak a few months back was crazy too. If you’re seeing this Tom, We appreciate you!!
What you said about your bull snake reminds me of my ball python, he relaxes when I pick him up and I can just tell he is comfortable, even in very stressful situations like a vet exam
One thing I learned about the Manga ban viper that got my attention was the fact of no antivenom. These are really neat looking snakes but if bitten you're going to be screwed.
_Manshan_ Viper. I dunno where the heck you got "Manga ban" from, buddy. I mean, it's even in the freakin' title of the video & it get's gets repeated dozens of times in the dialogue fer cryin' out loud.
Wow, that has got to be one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen. I love the look of vipers, with their keeled scales and the shape of their faces, but these are particularly striking (forgive the pun).
Clint: "I've been bitten by more humans" Me: "I mean... you are the one who went and had kids" Incredible snakes though. The scale patterns are really awesome. Stinkin' rad!
What a beautiful snake. They (snakes) in my limited experience are great readers of people and their surroundings. I love snakes. I held a 7ft Burmese python at 12 years old. I held a king Cobra (hooded) in Thailand and a wild caught 8ft python in the same location. The Python was as calm as could be...because i was unaffraid, calm and held it gently with slow, smooth movement. It read i was no threat and safe for them. My colleague was bricking it and the snake was TOTALLY different with him moments later...i took it back to calm down my colleague and the Python calmed instantly.
Hello Clint, I have this rule if its venomous or it has toxicognaths I do not want it as a pet, The blue death feigning beetle sounds nice. or a gold fish. I like the hyper lime hat.
I'm so impressed with people who work with venomous snakes ! I remember seeing Tyler almost get bit by this snake from a youtube short... it would definitely deter me. That's a beautiful creature regardless
That is honestly one of the most stunning danger noodles I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous, and I will never go near one! I'm devastated that it's yet another animal that we're driving to extinction by destroying its habitat.
The hyper lime commercial was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 this has quickly become one of my favorite snake n reptile channels. Top 3 for sure. Could quite possibly actually be my number one reptile channel!!!
I love snakes, and I’d never even heard of these beauties before. Absolutely stunning creatures. I really love the way you present your videos as well. I would hope to think that most people watching these videos would instinctually know keeping a very venomous animal is a horrible idea, but I know better lol I watch them purely out of fascination and wanting to learn more about these wonderful animals. I love that you made a brief mention of the false water cobras, too. If I could ever get a snake and could get past my issues with feeding them (even frozen rodents bother me, cus, I love my rodents lol) I would definitely get the false water cobra. Those are my dream snakes. I am super, super curious if there is a way to breed a non-venomous snake, like a ball python, to have this type of coloration though… the markings on these guys are just absolutely stunning. I’ve seen tons of green snakes before, and while they are also beautiful, it’s the dark jade colorations and patterns on these mangshans that truly make them stand out for me
I didn't know about this snake's existence. It's beautiful and beautifully deadly. Thank you, Clint I love your way of teaching us all about "the best pet everything!" Much love from Ontario Canada
wow! these are some of my fav vipers! My local zoo has a breeding program for this species. I have such appreciation for this beautiful snake. I have about a million pictures of the individuals at the san diego zoo haha
sadly based on how ive seen tyler and chandler handle venomous snakes, i truly believe one of them, if not both, will get tagged again and it could easily be fatal. they dont show these animals enough respect, and i liked how Clint was trying to be nice when saying it
@@sjk160 RUclips needs to take down these channels that promote ownership of exotic pets, especially venomous deadly snakes. There's a channel I used to really enjoy called "Wild Charles". Until I saw his upload about 9 days ago, titled feeding rescue alligators, where he literally sits up in a very short tree, overhanging a waterhole full of alligators who are all in feeding mode, with nothing preventing him from slipping off the tree and becoming a horror story for his family.
I constantly see keepers aggravating the tails of their venomous snakes in order to get them into the enclosure quicker. This only makes the snake feel like a predator is after them. How hard is it to do what Tom Crutchfield does and gently support the tail, allowing the snake to calmly go back home? Sometimes having a lot of experience with hot snakes makes keepers over confident. That just hurts the reptile community as a whole.
Unfortunately there are to many RUclipsrs that film just for views and money when it should be for education. Luckily it’s quite easy to tell who those people are. Whole reason I started filming was to share my passion and knowledge from keeping and breeding for over 30years now. Most important thing in this hobby is to inspire and educate the next generation of keepers. Without that soon people won’t be able to keep reptiles so also support USARK 🙋♂️✌️
You know what really "hurts the reptile community as a whole?" The endless sanctimonious lecturing from smug people who think they know better, assailing others for their unforgivable ethical lapses, and always ending their speech with "you're making the community look bad," or "it's because of you that soon people won't be able to keep reptiles." Notice that people like Clint and Tom never say this kind of stuff. Tom in fact has spoken about how toxic it is in some of his videos.
@@pumpkinchow Absolutely! Living in Florida, I support USARKFL monthly and it’s people like we’re talking about that makes USARK’s job so difficult. Thank you for what you do with your filming.
You should do a video like this for indigo snakes. I am not a big snake person. But as a very young kid about 7 or 8 I found a small indigo snake that lived behind my house on the river. He was about 20cm and several times a week I saw him sunning on the bank of the river. Eventually I saw it so often I decided to try to pick it up, then I put it in a 55 gallon fish tank so I could look at it a while. Then I decided to feed him once to see him eat. Then we just decided to hang out for 20 years til he died last year. I've had plenty of fish and dogs my whole life. Never wanted to have any other snake but he was a good pet if you don't mind having a pet that big.
I love all vipers! I had a dream about this type of snake several years ago, but didn’t know the name, had to look up “green camouflage pattern viper” the next day. I’ve seen Tyler’s once or twice at the time, so it was strange to have one in a dream.

🐉🐲🦎Hey Clint, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a RUclips Videos all about the Flying Dragons (Draco), The Best Pet Agamid Lizards on the next Clint’s Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!🐉🐲🦎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
All of the animals featured in these videos are wonderful. Choosing my favorite life form at Clint's Reptile Rooms was incredibly difficult.
I honestly really love how you apply harm reduction principles to keeping dangerous pets, way more useful than just saying it's a bad idea and leaving it at that
I can’t stop picturing Clint shouting out, “This mangshan pit viper is HYPER LIME.”
“No, Clint… Take twelve.”
Clint: “HYPER LIME!”
“…Take fifty.”
Watching people handle these extremely dangerous snakes really flares up my anxiety.
Hey Clint, another wonderful vid about an amazing animal!
*VIDEO IDEA*
Do a video for ER staff & first Responders: A quick guide to assessing suspected envenomations.
A big ole disclaimer would be necessary, and a guest with medical credentials too probably.
Or even better, A How NOT to video; make it your own with comedic elements, but use it as a vehicle to educate (of course)
A comparison of the different types of creatures one may encounter in the hobby and the effects of their various venom types, their actions and presentation would be pretty cool!
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
Please repost this idea again on his other newer videos!! Since it’s been 10 months I don’t think he saw this. You should get all credit for this idea. Don’t stop posting this comment under new videos until he replies lol
@@eggnogalcoholic Thank you for the encouragement!
Our ball pythons have all been trained to eat in a 40 gallon Rubbermaid container.
One of us puts the rodent in, the other puts the snake in - that way there's no risk of rodent scent on the one handling the snake.
The snake goes in after the rodent, that way the snake never associates things coming into the container with food, instead, the snake knows that the food will be in there, resulting in over excited snakes simply leaping out of our hands into the container rather than striking at things coming into it.
Once they've eaten, they calmly allow us to remove them because they know things coming into the container will only be us and not food - we have never had an accidental strike since we initiated that SOP and the snakes recognize the container, so they never go into feeding mode until they see it.
For additional safety, we keep the container in a different room and bring the snakes to it, meaning that we also don't have to worry about the snake's feeding behavior kicking in while removing them from their tanks since we found out early that some of them get over excited when they see the container, thus making removing them from their tanks potentially dangerous.
Moving snakes to eat has been so outdated and is more stressful on the animal than leaving them alone.
@@InSpidersITrust Outdated???
This is reptile care, not fashion kid.
If your snakes stress when you handle them then that means you aren't handling and/or socializing them correctly.
As noted, the snakes are trained by a decade of the same SOP and as such, they get excited and ready to eat when they see they're being put in the container and after they've eaten, they know they're going back to their home, with them never resisting being picked up and sometimes even crawling into our hand.
Ball pythons may act stupid at times, but they're smart and readily learn routines.
Tom is always someone i enjoy seeing. He cares so much for his animals and is truely a real life Ace Ventura. He can calm and handle some of the craziest reptiles on the planet. He's done some great things for the hobby over the years as well.
Ridge wallets! the color busted my eyes, Clint's screaming busted my ears... Excellent service 10000/10! imma get one now (as soon as i can see and hear again XD)
I love seeing collabs with Tom. He’s such a legend.
Tom Crutchfield is a national treasure, and must be protected at all costs!
I’ll challenge you to look into Tom’s past. Especially with all of this talk about buying captive bred and preserving the natural populations.
@@frankmanda3620 holding someone in the hobby as long as he’s been to modern standards is weak. I know of his past, it’s public record. Whatever you think you’re trying to prove, you aren’t. The man has still done a ton for the hobby and is a legend. Full stop.
@@tarab4617 I've heard that one time some girl scouts came to his door and he declined to buy any of their cookies. Are you really going to defend a monster like that?
Borderline demi-god really.
I lived in San Diego until a few years ago, they have a bunch of these at the zoo there. They are definitely super beautiful, amazing snakes, and I always loved seeing them! From behind the safety of glass. Wouldn't want to see one without that barrier.
I saw a Mangshan viper at the Toledo Zoo- probably the most beautiful herp there. I had never seen one in person, and let me tell you, photos and video cant even come close. They're just gorgeous.
I’ve never heard of them and they’re beautiful. How sad that their habitat is being lost.
So beautiful!
This has to be the MOST beautiful creature I have ever seen!!!!! This is now my absolute favorite reptile.
Honestly every time you show your time with tom crutchfield the sadder i get that the tiger King guy glommed onto joe exotic rather than making the crocodile monitor equivalent of My Octopus Teacher. The way hes able to interact with reptiles is so impressive.
Yeah Tom will always be a legend when it comes to reptiles it is sad that he isn’t getting the recognition he deserves. We definitely need more people like Tom Crutchfield in this world 🙋♂️✌️
@@pumpkinchow I couldn't agree more... That man is a treasure
@@pumpkinchowFor real. The way FWC treated him like he was a nobody when he went up to speak a few months back was crazy too. If you’re seeing this Tom, We appreciate you!!
Wow, Tom is a master among masters.
He’s the type of keeper everyone should want to apprentice under.
That shot of it yawning is incredible.
Those are really pretty. They kinda remind me of a mix of a frog and moss.
What you said about your bull snake reminds me of my ball python, he relaxes when I pick him up and I can just tell he is comfortable, even in very stressful situations like a vet exam
As always I love your enthusiasm in addition to the genuine review of a potential pet.
Clint’s sponsor ad segments are the only ones on RUclips I done groan or fast forward through. 😂
One thing I learned about the Manga ban viper that got my attention was the fact of no antivenom. These are really neat looking snakes but if bitten you're going to be screwed.
_Manshan_ Viper. I dunno where the heck you got "Manga ban" from, buddy. I mean, it's even in the freakin' title of the video & it get's gets repeated dozens of times in the dialogue fer cryin' out loud.
Wow, that has got to be one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen. I love the look of vipers, with their keeled scales and the shape of their faces, but these are particularly striking (forgive the pun).
I saw these guys at the Dallas Zoo, they are defiantly one of the most beautifully snakes around. Absolutly stunning
You must have filmed the HYPER LIME segment after Clint did a cereal flavour taste-off segment. 😂😂😂
Thank you for showing this. I have SO MUCH RESPECT for Tom and the way he respects and treats all his anymals❤️
Clint: "I've been bitten by more humans"
Me: "I mean... you are the one who went and had kids"
Incredible snakes though. The scale patterns are really awesome. Stinkin' rad!
Never had I ever gone back to rewatch the sponsored portion of a video before today. 🤣 the HYPER LIME just killed me. Thanks for the laughs, Clint.
What a beautiful snake. They (snakes) in my limited experience are great readers of people and their surroundings. I love snakes. I held a 7ft Burmese python at 12 years old. I held a king Cobra (hooded) in Thailand and a wild caught 8ft python in the same location. The Python was as calm as could be...because i was unaffraid, calm and held it gently with slow, smooth movement. It read i was no threat and safe for them. My colleague was bricking it and the snake was TOTALLY different with him moments later...i took it back to calm down my colleague and the Python calmed instantly.
Hello Clint, I have this rule if its venomous or it has toxicognaths I do not want it as a pet, The blue death feigning beetle sounds nice. or a gold fish. I like the hyper lime hat.
Clint, I love your enthusiasm and sense of humor.
I've seen Mangshan Pit Vipers at both the Bronx and Toledo Zoos, and they are amongst the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen!
It’s crazy how something so beautiful can kill you so easy.
My ex, for example
Nope, usually how it goes
Virgin alert!
There is an old saying that goes ". There is beauty in danger and danger in beauty!" . This snake 🐍 is the epitome of that statement!
Omg that’s the most stunning venemous snake I aver saw! It’s so amazing
It is a beauty, but IMHO, the beauty queen of the snake world is still the Malaysian Blue Coral Snake. It's an absolute stunner.
@@Warriorking.1963 also those are very cool looking
What a fascinating snake , so beautiful.
Very nice that your snake relaxed when you held her! Speaks to their hability to relate
Amazing video Clint! You oughta do Copperheads and/or Cottonmouths next!
There was talk a few years ago about copperhead venom being trialed for cancer research. I haven't heard anything lately though.
As always love your blunt honesty
An aquarium near me has Mangshan pit vipers so I’ve known about them for a while and they are among my favorite animals.
Id not heard of this pit viper until now and this may be the most beautiful snake I've ever seen!! So amazing!
Was trying to find a list of reasons why an electric eel is a better pet than a Koi and came across this. Glad I did
I'm so impressed with people who work with venomous snakes ! I remember seeing Tyler almost get bit by this snake from a youtube short... it would definitely deter me. That's a beautiful creature regardless
The hyper lime is so hilarious 😂
HYPER LIME timestamp: 2:43
🤘🏻HYPER LIME 🤘🏻 I’ll be saying that all day everyday thanks Clint 🙋♂️✌️
That is honestly one of the most stunning danger noodles I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous, and I will never go near one! I'm devastated that it's yet another animal that we're driving to extinction by destroying its habitat.
The San Antonio Zoo has one! It's gorgeous.
That is one of the most beautiful snakes I have ever seen.
Thank you for covering this species of snake. One of my absolute favorites.
The hyper lime commercial was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 this has quickly become one of my favorite snake n reptile channels. Top 3 for sure. Could quite possibly actually be my number one reptile channel!!!
Mangshan vipers are beautiful 😍 and tom Crutchfield is very good at reading and being relaxed with the animals
Tom is an absolute legend!
🙌 he definitely is
ANd that being 100% true, he may still be killed by one of his reptile buddies some day.
I love snakes, and I’d never even heard of these beauties before. Absolutely stunning creatures. I really love the way you present your videos as well. I would hope to think that most people watching these videos would instinctually know keeping a very venomous animal is a horrible idea, but I know better lol I watch them purely out of fascination and wanting to learn more about these wonderful animals. I love that you made a brief mention of the false water cobras, too. If I could ever get a snake and could get past my issues with feeding them (even frozen rodents bother me, cus, I love my rodents lol) I would definitely get the false water cobra. Those are my dream snakes. I am super, super curious if there is a way to breed a non-venomous snake, like a ball python, to have this type of coloration though… the markings on these guys are just absolutely stunning. I’ve seen tons of green snakes before, and while they are also beautiful, it’s the dark jade colorations and patterns on these mangshans that truly make them stand out for me
I didn't know about this snake's existence. It's beautiful and beautifully deadly. Thank you, Clint I love your way of teaching us all about "the best pet everything!" Much love from Ontario Canada
Hey Clint, can you do common rain frog, they're so cute and goofy!
I can just imagine being in the ER and hearing the Clint's Reptiles intro music: "I love Clint! ...oh no.."
What a ridiculously gorgeous snake.
Clint is the Fred Rogers of the reptile world. A real Bob Ross type of fellow.
The baby viper was pretty cute. It was pretty crazy to see an adult viper the same size as a constrictor though, that thing was a monster size wise!
Ive know about these snakes for over a decade, and i love how they look, but i had no idea they got soo big!
wow! these are some of my fav vipers! My local zoo has a breeding program for this species. I have such appreciation for this beautiful snake. I have about a million pictures of the individuals at the san diego zoo haha
This is one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen.
I don’t think I’ve ever had as much enthusiasm in my life as Clint selling the HYPER LIME Ridge products. 😂😂😂
I have never heard of this beautiful viper before. Thanks for the knowledge.
Thank you Clint for doing a video on my tops 3 type of snake 🐍, I love the Mangshan Viper
Clint is really channeling the oxy clean guy in these ad-reads and I am in full support.
One day clint will have a full outfit of ridge merch!
Beautiful and his relationship with them is fantastic
sadly based on how ive seen tyler and chandler handle venomous snakes, i truly believe one of them, if not both, will get tagged again and it could easily be fatal. they dont show these animals enough respect, and i liked how Clint was trying to be nice when saying it
No kidding. Why on earth did Tyler not secure the snake and make sure the enclosure was empty BEFORE reaching in there!?
I had to stop watching chandler. I feel like he got to into his Internet personality and can’t go five seconds without doing an accent
Chandler was already bitten. He lost the tip of one of his fingers in India. Since that event he said that he is done free handling venomous snakes.
@@sjk160 RUclips needs to take down these channels that promote ownership of exotic pets, especially venomous deadly snakes. There's a channel I used to really enjoy called "Wild Charles". Until I saw his upload about 9 days ago, titled feeding rescue alligators, where he literally sits up in a very short tree, overhanging a waterhole full of alligators who are all in feeding mode, with nothing preventing him from slipping off the tree and becoming a horror story for his family.
@@CowToes he free handled a king cobra 10 days ago.
I constantly see keepers aggravating the tails of their venomous snakes in order to get them into the enclosure quicker. This only makes the snake feel like a predator is after them. How hard is it to do what Tom Crutchfield does and gently support the tail, allowing the snake to calmly go back home? Sometimes having a lot of experience with hot snakes makes keepers over confident. That just hurts the reptile community as a whole.
Unfortunately there are to many RUclipsrs that film just for views and money when it should be for education. Luckily it’s quite easy to tell who those people are. Whole reason I started filming was to share my passion and knowledge from keeping and breeding for over 30years now. Most important thing in this hobby is to inspire and educate the next generation of keepers. Without that soon people won’t be able to keep reptiles so also support USARK 🙋♂️✌️
You know what really "hurts the reptile community as a whole?" The endless sanctimonious lecturing from smug people who think they know better, assailing others for their unforgivable ethical lapses, and always ending their speech with "you're making the community look bad," or "it's because of you that soon people won't be able to keep reptiles." Notice that people like Clint and Tom never say this kind of stuff. Tom in fact has spoken about how toxic it is in some of his videos.
@@pumpkinchow Absolutely! Living in Florida, I support USARKFL monthly and it’s people like we’re talking about that makes USARK’s job so difficult. Thank you for what you do with your filming.
@@loriw2661 nice me and my wife used to live in Jacksonville and Coral Springs definitely miss the nice weather and the beaches.
The Mangchen and the Bush Viper are the only reasons I ever considered getting a venous license
They are both gorgeous
Lol your videos are growing on me!! Those snakes look so mean but actually seen veey gentle.
Such a cool looking viper! Reptiles are so fascinating!
You should do a video like this for indigo snakes. I am not a big snake person. But as a very young kid about 7 or 8 I found a small indigo snake that lived behind my house on the river. He was about 20cm and several times a week I saw him sunning on the bank of the river. Eventually I saw it so often I decided to try to pick it up, then I put it in a 55 gallon fish tank so I could look at it a while. Then I decided to feed him once to see him eat. Then we just decided to hang out for 20 years til he died last year. I've had plenty of fish and dogs my whole life. Never wanted to have any other snake but he was a good pet if you don't mind having a pet that big.
We did!
That ridge segment was incredible…HYPER LIME
"A 6' Murder Missile".... I love you, Clint!! lol
Clint knows most of us won't even consider buying it, and he also knows that we enjoy watching the video regardless.
Clint really nailed the Ridge ad 👍
Beautiful snakes. Those eyes are so thoughtful.
I love all vipers! I had a dream about this type of snake several years ago, but didn’t know the name, had to look up “green camouflage pattern viper” the next day. I’ve seen Tyler’s once or twice at the time, so it was strange to have one in a dream.
Me abt to skip ahead of the sponser and then rewinding to enjoy Clint’s hyper-lime energy 😂 I love Clint’s energy, makes me smile lol
to the ridge sponsor segment i have to say: i allways wanted to know how clint would behave after 2 liters (~67,5oz) of Monter enregy drink :D
Magnificent snake , saw one at San Diego zoo several years ago & never forgot
If I recall correctly reptile gardens in Rapid City SD has some. I think i saw them there before i knew what they were.
I came here from Tyler’s short! I looked them up right after I saw it
Awesome video man thanks I learnt heaps just now that I didn't know a thing about yesterday
This was the most informative video on these snakes I've found well done and thanks? Beautiful snakes but I'm not yet ready for one of my own lol
Tyler has had a lot of close calls. He better tighten it up.
