It’s because they don’t slither using their muscles like all other snakes but rather "walk" using their ribs. They are so fascinating in a multitude of ways. Aside from the blue insularis, Gabbys are my favorite venomous snake.
Easily the most beautiful snake... Was lucky to have them on our farm growing up. They are very relaxed snakes, but Mr Chandler is playing with fire being so casual with them.
iirc, Gaboons in the wild are pretty chill. Sometimes you can accidentally walk over them and they won't care. They do care when you purposefully go after them though.@@prissylovejoy702

@@BillBiggs1 How anyone can be so shallow is beyond me. There's beauty in every creature if you view it with appreciation. There's a very good chance you would be even more miserable with yourself and all things if you weren't lucky enough to have snakes around to control the planet's rodent population.
That guy has a death wish. They are also one of the fastest strikers there is, faster than rattlers. He is absolutely being careless with those things.
Yes he does. What’s scary is people will see him doing this and think it’s ok or safe. The fact he hasn’t been bitten more or even dead at this point is down to his pet snakes trusting him. There are several videos on here where the snake could’ve bitten him if it wanted to especially his king cobra.
He keeps them well fed and he’s conditioned them to realize they don’t need to fear him. These ones are most definitely on alert while he’s handling them, which is to be expected, but gabbys tend to be pretty chill in general and don’t like to strike unless they feel they absolutely have to. If he were doing this with boomslangs I’d think he is certifiable because those are aggressive, twitchy little bastards that have a kill list that looks like this: Kill List -YES
The colors look painted on. You wouldn't have to be educated in venomous snakes to know you don't want no part of it. They just look deadly. Beautiful but deadly 😊

Yes, not only are the markings stunning, it provides very effective camouflage in their natural habitat. It’s almost impossible to spot them on the jungle floor covered in similar patterned leaves under the mottled sunlight. In fact, once, I was in Oakland zoo and they had this specimen in an aquarium and they had set up the aquarium exactly like their habitat with the broad, patterned leaves. I could not spot the snake from 3 feet knowing it was there. It took me 30 seconds of intense searching from 3 feet away with my face against the glass to finally spot it!
The first boi you picked up was nervous, awww. But these dudes what's just seem so chill when I see them in captivity and with their handlers. They're so fascinating.
The size of Chandler’s balls to free-handle animals as dangerous as the Gaboon Viper. They have an agonising bite to match the size of their fangs, with one of the fastest strikes in the snake kingdom, plus some of the most beautiful colours and designs in their markings. Kevin’s the most impressively sized and striking looking King Cobra (or snake even) I have ever seen, but would never have the stones to handle him, no matter how much training I’d received or how long he’d been under my care. Edit : Fantastic specimens and one seriously brave individual.
I love you. I was scrolling shorts and seen this video where some guy brings up how you never wanna get close to a gaboon viper. Admire from a distance. Then here comes chandler... let me pick it up.
I have no idea how they’re that chill. Granted I’ve never seen a Gaboon that wasn’t. But I’ve also never had any desire to be on the other side of the glass. Necrotic neurotoxic venom aside, 2in fangs sound like they’d be excruciatingly painful to be bitten by. Like being stabbed with a pair of trauma needles.
Him: "These snakes have the LARGEST venom glands, and they can pump enough to kill an elephant." Also him: *Just grabs them like it's an ordinary garter snake*
This guy has balls of steel. Gaboon vipers have one of the fastest strikes on this planet
tell me about it hey. I've seen one live at the zoo, these things are massive and majestic AF.
they look stuffed haha prolly not in the mood to strike after eating
@@ghxsty66 naw bro this dude is legit. He knows how to handle them. A venomous snake will strike if it feels threatened
Still not as fast as cat's slap
True but they are also normally pretty chill, definitely one of the most docile venomous snakes going.

Their strike is literally lightning fast. Your brain can't even process it fast enough. You've got balls of steel to handle these guys.
Try 2/10s of a second - faster than you can blink...
Balls bigger than his brain, ill give ya that. Prayers for his momma. You know she lay next to the phone every night lol
