This man and his lab exude sheer superiority, cleanliness and professionalism over all of the tattooed and self-mutilated snake handlers I have seen on YT
I like how a lot of your episodes focuses on the actual history, husbandry and science behind keeping the animals and not just showing one then quickly moving on to the other. Don't get me wrong, I like those too, but actually getting in-depth info and learning about them is another thing entirely. I also appreciate the lengthy episodes, just goes to show how much work you put into it and it pays off. Cheers.
Is a coral snake, for example, able to insert their fangs and not release venom? Does the snake have control and choose to release venom, or does fang in mean venom is released?
Live in Central Texas, Have come across many Coral Snakes here they've seem to become a very hardy reptile. I would like to say it's satisfying to Know that people like Jack are concerned about the unfortunate person who might encounter such a Life changing event.. Would like to say Thank You Sir and God Bless.
Amazing facts. My father moved to Florida a year or two ago and learning these things is wonderful. I love going down there and searching his yard. He is not in common Coral Snake habitat, but he does have an adult and a juvenile Gopher Tortoise! Keep up the fantastic videos.
He has no facts. All of his information is incorrect. Learn your facts somewhere else. Also, turn him in to the authorities, keeping gopher tortoise's is highly illegal. Bust this loser. Please, bust this loser.
Hi folks I get a lot of questions on why not breed and feed the Eastern Corals on the venom line natural food .While Eastern Corals set up in an ideal cage setting feed most of the time I would need a supply of 300 feeder snakes a month to adequately feed 100 corals. Also handling does put some added stress on the snake for a period of days post extraction. This contributes to poor feeding response as well. It is a sheer volume issue involving 3600 feeder snakes a year. Could absolutely be done on a smaller scale. Thank you. Jack
janbouncy you might be an experienced herpetogist but as a person you're a piece of shit. These snakes don't feed on mice, and you should know as an herpetogist.
janbouncy your cockiness about “your profession” leads me to one of two conclusions, either you’re not what you say you are at all. Or you’re terrible at what you do and feel the need to lie about It. Either way. I feel sorry for you.
We had one in our front yard last year ( Florida ). He squiggled around so you can’t figure out the head from the tail. He gladly took off into the woods. Beautiful snake. I hadn’t seen one in years!
Another great episode. They are now starting to question the effectiveness of anti-venom, i hope more science will be devoted to what could be life saving and milking snakes is such an important part.
That was amazing! I think viperkeeper made a video with him as well. I love the way he got into venom, like you said most of the time someone gets bit they want nothing more to do with them. Amazing he went the other and became more interested in them
This was a good episode. It's true, snake venom has so many different applications that we just begun to figure out. Kenan, i feel like you gonna own some hots very soon.
We have a lot of corals on our property in South Texas. The amount of disinformation out there is scary, because I’ve told my wife that Coral Snakes can’t really bite because thats what I have alway been told. Thank you for the video.
My daughter was bitten by a Pygmy rattlesnake when she was 3 years old, on the instep of her foot. In Texas. It was horrible, painful!! She is now 48 years old.
I have encountered two coral snakes in the wild. 1992 and it was at Lowes Ventana Canyon in Tucson, trying to scale a tall curb. No luck, but persistent lil bugger. So I took off my tie, and scooted it in front of him. He looked at me and slithered over my tie and waited... I sling-loaded him gently over the curb. The other was last week... new hatch 8 inch one in the middle of my garage. Relocated a distance off a quiet patio. I could use some snake and insect control out there! Prolly gonna see a few more now, from that hatch! 😅 Good work done in this video!
Could not agree more. Coral Snakes get little to no coverage in all of the snake channels. Everything he said that were wives tales was pretty much all I knew about them. Beautiful snakes.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this. I have a new appreciation for these venomous snakes. I love your video about the Arizona Rattlesnakes as well. Where I live in SC, I see King Snakes and Black Snakes very often, but Copperheads, Cottonmouths, and Timber Rattlesnakes can be found as well. Snake awareness is the key to safety.
Agree that he is both very knowledgeable and deeply experienced, but, his method of "capture" when picking up the snake is a virtual guarantee that he will get bit. It will happen, sooner or later. His method is far too haphazard. One day he will misjudge his approach and will pay the price for such a cavalier attitude. You can count on it.
geez, I am a 4th generation Floridian(west Melbourne) and totally believed and spread every wivestales mentioned here. I totally thought coral snakes were rear-fanged, had to chew to deliver venom, and could only puncture thin skinned areas
William Haast was my hero to be the only person to be bitten by a KING COBRA and live , than be back to work in a couple of hours. Hasst was mention in this video (Bill Haast) Thank you for this video, I’m on my 3rd time watching.
I have enjoyed your vid's. Thank you for your efforts. I have had two coral snakes inside of a month near my back door. One was about twenty inches, the other about twelve. Could there be a nest of some sort nearby?
While small game hunting in east Texas public land, i was lucky to get video on my phone of 3 1/2 foot coral snake. She was gorgeous and returning to sleep. It was around sunrise 🌅. I gave her the right away and let her pass. It was the highlight of my hunt.
I walked up on one of those in S. CAL long time ago. It was in some bushes. I got down for a close look and then left it alone but was amazed how pretty it was.
Wish I knew this feeding method when I had my VR permit in the 80s in Miami. I used to go to Miami Serpentarium to see Dr. Hass milk the cobras as a kid as did all the locals. in the 60s. School field trips as well. Imagine the now. HAHA. I had Poly valiant anti venom from SA, in my fridge. Getting the permit for that was a bugger and the time difference. I think it was $80 a vail. Got permit from the USDA I think. Had several friends that got to be in the Cobra club. They got Bit. Nice hot room. I had l my snakes in cages in the living room and when you would walk by, you would hear a bang and see the vipers venom drip down the plexiglass. With this hobby, you get no mistakes. Great video !!
I have seen the canula feed by watching VIPER KEEPER, he also deals with HOT snakes. But, the canula feed, is ONLY USED when they have noenates, or snakes that are refusing food. Why were these corals bein canuled?
So do the snakes ever get some kind of prey item like a rat or something or are they just constantly being force feed through out their whole live in captivity
Is great the story he was a Kidd and bye by a sneak inspired to study or research on sneaks so is awesome my congratulation God bless you and team work I wishes to learn or help you is fenómeno to save people ah be save .
Can i ask for your source? Been looking for an Eastern coral snake for some time. I have a good friend who works in a lab and would like to study the contents of its venom for medicinal use. I have bred numerous reptiles, snakes included. And would like to begin breeding these beauties. But have had an impossible time finding a reputable source that has them instocks. And where I live, they are very rare.
@@TitoTitoTitoTito yeah so ive been told, the trick is to have them in a tank much like an ant farm, they need a lot of burrowing room to feel up to feeding. I haven't tried it yet personally but some other guy on RUclips was talking about it.
Got bit by one yesterday morning and went to the hospital they confirmed it but I didn't need any anti venom. And I got bit THREE times. Not because of my stupidity because of my cat pissing it off lol. I've handled all types of snakes my whole life since I was 4 or 5.
I remember when I was in Boy Scouts, we went to areas that had both Coral and King snakes. They told us, "red and black, nice to Jack. Red and yellow, kill a fellow." If red and black are touching, King snake. Red and yellow touching, Coral snake.
This is the eastern coral snake- micrurus fulvious. It is a subtropical and tropical snake native to all of Florida, southern Georgia, the eastern Carolinas and the southern half of Louisiana. The Texas coral snake- micrurus tener- is a separate species and is not tropical as Texas is not tropical ,unlike southern Florida. The two are in the same genus and have similar venoms, although the Texas coral snake seems to have more of it. The Arizona or Sonoran coral snake is an unrelated species with much less venom and is much rarer.
This man and his lab exude sheer superiority, cleanliness and professionalism over all of the tattooed and self-mutilated snake handlers I have seen on YT
I am not a snake lover, I am actually terrified of them. I however appreciate what you do for the good of mankind, Bravo to you.
I saw a Coral snake in the yard last weekend.
It was about 20" long, just travelling back into the trees. Beautiful snake. Central Florida.
Just spoke with Jack over the phone today about coral snakes. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. He actually recommended this video for more info!

Finally a beautiful Gentleman Who Knows His Coral Snakes.....
Blown Up With His Baby Formula !
Excellent episode, Kenan! Enjoyed watching Jack Facente, in action!
Thank you for your service to humanity.
Fascinating! I'm not a snake fan but living in Florida, good to know that my observations from a distance is a good thing.
This was so interesting. I love coral snakes.
I’m a veterinary technician and I think this is so cool. I’m learning new things that I’ve never heard in school. Ive taken classes at UC Davis in CA.
This guy is nuts. Balls of steel.
3:48: I like the way that snake moves.
He reminds me of my late grandfather, who was a Marine. ❤️🐍
Semper Fi Grandpa 👍 🇺🇸
Damn, don’t see many venom extractors go for the grab. Usually the guy will pin the head down. This guy has balls.
I love this guy! Thanks for sharing Kenan!

Outstanding show, I live in NW Florida and I have seen one Coral years ago. I learned so much from this and I want to thank you...
Unique lab for such a unique species. Jack is the man🐍

Hey didn't know you watched kenan
Dara Vince haha of course I do he is awesome!
anyone notice Kennan's demeanor kind of change when the dude admitted he killed snakes experimenting with the food?
Yes

With such a high throughput of extractions, and with such a small and whippy subject, I wonder how many times Dr. Facente has been bitten.
Great video, once again Kenan
Jack is so brave. I just hope he doesn't get too casual with handling those coral snakes, etc.

Great episode! Very interesting as always!
It's always a good rule of thumb to leave any wild animal alone.
Thanks Kenan awesome video! Keep them videos coming!
I walked up on one of those in S. CAL long time ago. It was in some bushes. I got down for a close look and then left it alone but was amazed how pretty it was.
are they only force fed?
are you able to keep a coral snake if you have it in your yard i live in az and dont know whats the regulations
Wish I knew this feeding method when I had my VR permit in the 80s in Miami. I used to go to Miami Serpentarium to see Dr. Hass milk the cobras as a kid as did all the locals. in the 60s.

Fascinating stuff. What a great video!
What venomous snakes have no anti venomous for it?
I am a retired Paramedic from Northwest Florida and intubated a guy bit by a Coral in 93 I think.
beautiful micrurus
I have seen the canula feed by watching VIPER KEEPER, he also deals with HOT snakes.
But, the canula feed, is ONLY USED when they have noenates, or snakes that are refusing food.
Why were these corals bein canuled?
Gerber baby food? My folks and grandparents all worked there!
Thank you for this video. Great work.
So do the snakes ever get some kind of prey item like a rat or something or are they just constantly being force feed through out their whole live in captivity
I also think this is weird.
i only ever seen one here in south carolina i caught at the lake in a throw net.why was it swimming under the water like that?
Wow what a great episode!
I really enjoyed this video. :)
awesome!!!
Let's be friends 😆😃😄😂😁😀😊👪.Ok😑👌👍✌✋
I'm 6 years old. How old are you
😅
So very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
WOW! That's crazy!! Keep it up Kenan!!
***** Gladly
Amazing how such important work is being done in some of the least expected places.
ABSOLUTE TRUUEST RESPECT TOO THIS MANN AND WHAT HE DOES-
THANK YOUU, FOR ALL YOUR HELP GOOD SIR!!
That snake needs a boot heel crushing it's head...good snake=dead snake.
Really great episode!
Are coral snakes colubrids
Kenan, who made you that fedora? It’s mighty “Raiders” 😎
you seriously desrve more views
👌 great stuff
Great episode!

“Does it benefit the population if the venom acts more slowly.?” Jack-“Duh.”
ViperKeeper was here! One of my favorite episodes he's done :)
HEY MR.KAMP KENON, COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CORAL AND THE. OTHER SNAKES PLEASE,SIR? I'D APPRECIATE IT.THX, MR.KAMP KENON.
I had one in my back yard. Had one. It tried to get away but my machete wasn't having that.
Man this is nice stuff
Thanks!

Dang! I've held 3 coral snakes in the wild and they were all chill. But when they get agitated, watch out.
Coral snakes are rear fanged, so dry bites are most common.
@@MegaPleco they have front fixed fangs.
Roger Potts coral snakes are not rear fanged. They have front fixed fangs like every elapid and do not need to chew to inject venom
@@MegaPleco WRONG! Rewatch this video.
So coral snakes are not instant death? I was always told they were.
I like the this episode I just don’t like seeing the tube being forced in its mouth but I know it has to be done..
Hi
Hi
Please talk to me
I'm lonely 😢😣
@@hollygarland6246 what is wrong with u
That a pretty large coral snake too.
I was bitten in the early 90s in Orlando spent two weeks in the hospital
What happens if you cross bread a king Cobra and a Eastern diamondback rattle snake
I remember when I was in Boy Scouts, we went to areas that had both Coral and King snakes. They told us, "red and black, nice to Jack. Red and yellow, kill a fellow." If red and black are touching, King snake. Red and yellow touching, Coral snake.

Would this make a good pet for a first time snake enthusiast?
Maybe your mom
This snake is a tropical snake native to Texas
This is the eastern coral snake- micrurus fulvious. It is a subtropical and tropical snake native to all of Florida, southern Georgia, the eastern Carolinas and the southern half of Louisiana.
