Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club lol im da master of disquie becoming another person becoming another person! My fave was when he was playing the Indian with the cobra lol
I went to Belize a few years ago on an insect collecting trip and in the middle of the night heard a huge noise coming from the trees like a large mammal was running around up there... turns out it was a pretty good sized young/subadult BI, probably about 6ft up in the trees! Definitely big enough that most keepers would have him in a terrestrial enclosure. Just goes to show you that they most certainly are semi-arboreal. We caught him, picked off the dozens of ticks he had, and let him back go where we found him. Very docile, even in the wild.
Omg thank you! So sick of people trying to justify keeping snakes in such small enclosures (usually the same people who offer little to no enrichment). If you don’t have room for the big snake, don’t buy the big snake. Love your work dude!
I'm a new reptile owner. The enclosure recommended was a 4X2X2 for my dragon. This channel immediately made me want to double the size. He's will be living in an 8X2X2 soon. ❤
Important point to bring up for people keeping both Boas and Pythons, be very responsible about making sure they aren't exposed to each other. Boas can carry diseases that aren't that dangerous to themselves but which pythons can catch and are extremely deadly in pythons. Having lost my children's python to what was possibly IBD, I feel the need to bring that up. Edit: IBD is also deadly in boas, it just can be dormant in them with them being asymptomatic but able to infect you.
IBD is terminal in all snakes and also contagious in all snakes. Boas can incubate the virus for extended lengths of time, years even, while pythons tend to become symptomatic in weeks-months.
I did NOT know that. I'm looking at a rosy boa for my first snake (in 27 years) and a SD retic as my second snake in a year or so. Do you know if it's possible to test for boa diseases or is that a question to take to directly to my reptile vet? Edit-- thank you for sharing this, btw. You may have saved my future snake's life.
@@CandiceLemonSharks Research Labs and Associates does RNA tests on all reptiles including boas and pythons. It is a mouth swab on a live animal. Be sure to send the swab out within 24 hours of taking it. You get an answer in 48 hours by email. RLA does IBD, Nidovirus, and sunshine virus (for the Aussies).
Sorry, have to add that I am not sure the extent to which colubrids, vipers, and elapids can carry IBD. As far as I know, they do not become sick from it, but research in that area is still kinda up and coming. If the vector is snake mites, there is a chance that transmission is still possible, so quarantine all new animals. Especially similar ones (I.e. keep new boas away from your established boas. Colubrids away from colubrids, etc.) Full room quarantine for all types and species may not be possible, but it is ideal if you can make it work.
I have dwarf and super dwarf retics and they all use every bit of climbing opportunity you give them! You’re right, they’re arboreal for sure! Amazing animals!
I actually just got a carpet python a little over a month ago and I gotta say, she is quickly becoming one of my favorites in my collection, I was so ready for the bad attitude I heard all about but she is so amazing and tolerant despite still being young, and you weren't kidding about being good eaters, she's fantastic! Credit goes to slithers and critters in BC Canada for such an amazing carpet python
I absolutely love antaresia snakes, in my opinion they basically are the perfect beginner snake. Theyve got all the pros of a ball python and all the pros of a corn snake rolled into one snake, but with none of the downsides people might bring up for either of the other two species. And while morphs are rare, we are starting to get them going in the US.
Check out Peter Birch in Australia, not a lot of morphs, but he's bred some amazing ants. A lot of years and dedication has produced some gorgeous snakes.
@@CandiceLemonSharks Average price here for a standard spotted or children's is about $100 Australian. Even the morphs are pretty cheap, marbled go for around $400. Although albinos can be up to a grand or two. They're very common in the pet trade here.
@@paradisepythons4054 I checked pricing and on morph market and it's actually quite similar in the usa which is really nice; the selection is just really small compared to the ball python landscape (ok, the selection of everything is really small compared to the ball python landscape)
The first snake I ever found was a smooth green snake and he was on the ground. I found him in my nanas backyard that has a small forest that she owns half of. I kept playing with him and kept him in a box for the afternoon then returned him before it got to dark. Mind you I was like 7.
Just got my first Spotted Python. Only 3 months old, she is such a beautiful snake. And she is so much fun watching in her enclosure, she really dose utilize every inch of it.
Great video.all my snakes perch A LOT. Boas and retics always up in there branches, even the ball python perches a lot. I think climbing branches are essential for most snakes.
I just got a baby male Boa imperator and the first thing he did in his new enclosure was try and climb. I plan to give him a large vertical oriented enclosure even when he is bigger, I think he'll benefit from a shelved-enclosure, converted armoire style :)
My 9 month boa pretty much lived 90 percent of the day in his raised areas and branches. I think we are learning through greater enrichment snakes are way way more adventurous than those books in the 80s and 90s told us 🤣
arboreal snakes do look like a lot of fun to handle. I actually recently got a baby Mexican Black King and OMG it it's so precious. Hardly scared, extremely curious, not even head shy, and, even as I type now, he's digging and climbing in his tank. he's constantly trying to climb and find a way out XD, but he also likes to get underneath his water bowl and stuff. And when handling, he's a joy, sometimes even wraps his tail around one of my fingers and he can just hand like that.
Awwww how precious 🥺 I am buying my first snake soon I am extremely excited I bought the setup for him so I am ready for him when he's ready for me lol he's a ball python I will be naming him DaBaby all my reptiles I want will be named after rappers the beardie I have is named Post Malone 😂💜
@@reptilequeen4720 lol that's very cute. I have two ball python's myself. Inherited them when I married my wife. One is a lemon blast morph named Lemon, and the other is a wild morph named Scuttlebutt. Both are little dears, though Scuttles is a bit more shy.
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 those are really cute names 🤣 yeah apparently mine will be shy so no fast movements and he just has a regular pattern you see everywhere. I am glad tho I wanted one like that and specifically male since they are smaller than females I told my boyfriend we can share him but the beardie is strictly mine Posty is just there when I feel anxiety so basically an anxiety pet my old one was mine for anxiety but I did the wrong thing and bought him from PetCo he was a bit slow and had to baby him he was so sweet the sweetest I miss him so much his name was Juice Wrld
Have a jungle carpet python and absolutely love her. She’s 6 feet with an insane color and pattern. But surprisingly I’ve had issues feeding her. My carpet python just hasn’t shown interest in food in a little over a month so far. A little annoying but I’ll get her to eat eventually, was just surprised since they have such a food aggressive rep 🤷🏻♂️
Assuming she’s not ill or overweight, could be that it’s mating season? Many will stop eating so they can devote all their energy to finding a mate. They also may become highly active as they search. I try and let my male roam for as many hours a night as I can so he can expend the energy and use this as an opportunity to burn fat and build muscle mass (so he stays healthier during his more sedentary times of the year).
@@heddabedda306 that’s possible. She’s extremely active when I take her out of the tank. It’s only been a month and a half and she’s very healthy still and definitely good size and weight on her thankfully
Dude!!! You just answered a question from my childhood. Buddy and I and were going into ttthiccccc vvines and justt as I was duking to go into the trail I saw this small 2 foot green snake in my face he froze and so did I. Had to be a ruff green snake 🐍.. I just watched him take off. He went through the vines like sooo easy
I grew up in the 70s and 80s. we had the carpet that carpet pythons were named after, they really do look like the pattern. I now breed carpet pythons and they are great pets, out of around 80 or so carpet pythons, only 3 or 4 are biters, and those are very predictable.
I've watched videos on Facebook where carpet pythons were removed from homes. One was a little bitey at first but once it was freed, it was pretty chill.
Can we get a spotted python update or more info video, There is little info other than your videos on the web, I think you have convinced me to get one.
I like how you shoot straiht to your viewers. You’re not trying to sell things or push viewpoints and cancel or whine about other pettubers. You and Clint and snake discovery are the few non toxic non drama seeking youtubers. It’s been a trend to dunk on notoriously bad youtubers to get views but no good views
Rough greens are my wish pet. Having a huge terrarium were i could place a chair and sit with them and watching them slither through the trees and vines i grow in there
Really enjoying your educational videos. I am not a big snake or reptile fan, but still enjoy learning about them. I don’t have a lot of contact with them except in the wild of Southeast corner of Colorado. Which includes the bull snakes, garter snakes, prairie rattlers, red racers,and have only seen these last 2 once so far which are the hognose and I believe it is called the massasauga rattlesnake. Trying to match the color patterns. One of my most memorable accounts of a red racer I had was I was walking along side some tamaracks and the snake was on top off them moving side by side with me. It was fun to watch.
During the spring I see so many rough green snakes on the trail when I'm riding my bike in Houston. I also see coral snakes sometimes, which are very pretty.
I've been around boa constrictors almost my whole life and they are insatiable climbers- even as adults. I feel like a lot of people read "semi-arboreal" as 'sometimes arboreal' but I think it's closer to a solid 50-50 time spent in trees vs. on the ground. For some individuals like my current BCI it'd be more accurate to say he's "semi-terrestrial".
My first ever snake that I personally owned is a jungle carpet python. She’s great. I love her. She’s super chill and always eats. I just introduced her to rats instead of mice as she finally got large enough for rat pups.
Omg I just started watching your channel sense the incloser build off with Emily and I really like your channel it's very informative for new snake oner's
I completely agree!!! Retics definitely will use height if you give it to them. Reticulated pythons do have high food drives but it’s nothing you can’t change I’ve got two working on getting one off the high food drive but the other one is one of my nicest snakes
Arboreal and semi-arboreal snakes are cool. I like the idea that you'd actually see the snake if you set up a nice display enclosure with lots of perches and climbing options. My two favorites are the jungle carpet python and the emerald tree boa. The former I might consider for a second snake after a Dumeril's Boa. I'd want to be pretty good at reading snake body language before considering the latter. I've heard they can be pretty good for handling, and they are absolutely bad-ass looking, but with those teeth and jaw muscles, a bite would be a lot more than a minor annoyance if you screwed up.
Love that your channel is gaining traction Adam! How about a top 5 of your favourite videos from the past year that people may have missed...species, content, whatever! I loved your 5 most dangerous beginners with the plains hognose and false water cobra
Yay you did a video on smaller localities like after 1 week of me commenting it 😍.. Thank you! My Tarahumara Boa is on the way and I get a pair of Cay Caulker soon too 😍
I wanted a rough green snake bad enough that I went ahead and got a wild caught one. But she has acclimated well and has been very healthy. And she’s probably the most beautiful thing in my reptile room.
I have a converted 6' tall corner curio/China cabinet A filtered 10 gallon in the bottom 6" of ecoearth in remaining area Vine drapes on back screen panel walls Large leaf fake plants standing within Wrist size forked Vine branches crisscrossed at the screen top for basking Cornholio is the luckiest corn snake ever And yes , Arborial ! That animal is all over the enclosure Basking , to tunneling
Alright you got me, I think I'll have to go with a Spotted Python. Been contemplating for years on what snake to get and there are so many great options, but ultimately I want one that's actually fun to watch and handle. Having had a BCI as a kid, I loved when she would just wrap around my arm and explore anything and everything she could, and now as an adult I truly do miss that. ....and I have to jump through too many hoops in Illinois to get a Hognose, which is my ultimate pick.
I found 2 rough green snakes while working and the crazy thing is I work on the river on a tow boat so it was very very surprising and the coolest thing ever
Carpets are the best. Ive had my Darwin since he was only a month old and he is the cutest thing ever, he's super handleable and my kids love just sitting on the couch with him crawling all over them. Highly recommend them as a pet.
hi Adam your awesome I dont even know how many times I said it but your the best i was thinking about getting a green tree but they hard to find in my area im now looking online😁🥰
Congrats on the new reptile room! I don't really keep any reptiles, I'm more of a fish and dogs kind of person, but I love learning about new animals and reptiles especially :D I hope one day to keep a cool nice snake, I guess I'm doing some future research while watching your videos ;)
Sound is great to me! But I dont eatch with headphones know sometimes that can make a difference. Would really love a reptile room tour! Loved this list personally I love arboreal snakes its soooo cool to see how thry get up in trees and move around so smoothly. Who needs limbs! Get it limbs 😂 this is why I dont have friends 😞 Seeiously though I live in an apartment and cant have snakes but you and snake diacovery have REALLY helped settle my reserve over them and honestly I love them now so thabk you for all you do helping peolle learn and grow as animal lovers
RED TAIL GREEN RAT SNAKE! The captive bread ones are supposedly great pets, little squirmy but they are my top notch dream snake to breed so CBBs are more common. They are literally my wallpaper lol. Gonyosoma in general (rhino is in that genus iirc) is so amazingly awesome.
IKR? They're really great pets! I have one named Razer, he is such a weirdo. Sometimes he would just chill and sometimes he would strike at me ;-; (already took 5 bites) I wouldn't suggest handling them cuz they get grumpy sometimes but they do make really really great display snakes! They're always on display : )
When you talked about boa constrictors having a prehensile tail, I imagined looking up into a tree and seeing a snake swinging in a tree from its tail, just having a grand old time! :3
@@WickensWickedReptiles Now I can hear Phil Collins singing Son of Man wile imagining it swinging. Only it's Son of Snake. And now its full on monkeying from branch to branch by gymnastic jumping. Impressive.
I enjoyed this list. Lots of solid suggestions. I’m glad you mentioned the difference between BC and BI. Also BIs come in pretty much any size you want. All the way done to a Tarahumara Mountain Boa, which is technically a Boa Sigma, but it’s a Boa that’s no larger than a Ball Python, it’s slow moving like a BP, it’s semi-arboreal but it doesn’t go on hunger strikes. Check out Tarahumara Mountain Boas and Tamaulipas Cloud Forest boas our sometime. (Not to mention Crawl Cay Island Boas and Caulker Cay Island Boa) oh yeah, one of my favorite semi-dwarf Boa, Long Tail Boas. They’re smaller than a BI but bigger than a Ball Python. I could go on.. lol. Thanks for the videos, Adam!
The sound treatment seems pretty good to me. Your key light, however, is a little intense. Your skin tone on your left side of your face is pretty blown out. You could probably dial it down at least 1 - 1.5 stops or just angle it a bit more to increase the contrast on your face (also, if you're not using a softbox and snap grid, you should be) .
Both of my BCI’s spend more time at the top of the enclosure than they do on the ground. Only time they really come down is to get water. I’m sure they roam at night but most of the time they are up in the air.
Room tour please! Do's and don''ts! We're getting ready to finish out a large room in the back of our parrot barn (separate from the birds) and I'd love to get some ideas even though ours will be on a much smaller scale! I'm maxing out at 12 snakes and a very, very teeny colony of feeder rats.

Please do da tour
Sound seems fine for me. Also I ADORE carpet pythons, and on my short list for next snake I want! Your reptile room is goals!
Thank you!! 😊
Do it. Carpet pythons are freakin adorable and in my experience super friendly (with proper handling of course).
Just make sure you start with something young and grow with it
That's my plan! Not only because then I can make sure I handle them and get them super socialized, but I love watching my creatures grow up! 🐍
I went to Belize a few years ago on an insect collecting trip and in the middle of the night heard a huge noise coming from the trees like a large mammal was running around up there... turns out it was a pretty good sized young/subadult BI, probably about 6ft up in the trees! Definitely big enough that most keepers would have him in a terrestrial enclosure. Just goes to show you that they most certainly are semi-arboreal.
We caught him, picked off the dozens of ticks he had, and let him back go where we found him. Very docile, even in the wild.
seeing a wild boa would be a dream
Omg thank you! So sick of people trying to justify keeping snakes in such small enclosures (usually the same people who offer little to no enrichment). If you don’t have room for the big snake, don’t buy the big snake. Love your work dude!

I really enjoy your points of view and find myself thinking things through that I've never considered before! Thank you for sharing with us!
I was happy to see the smooth/rough green snakes on the list, I think they are adorable
Even though I know nothing about snakes, it is always fascinating learning about them. Very cool creatures.
They are! Snakes are majestic and hilarious to watch!
me with my spotted python, pointing to the screen: that’s Jimmy! he’s the reason you’re here.
This is literally going to be me when he brings out Pikachu 🤣 I will be getting a ball python soon 🥺
hahahaha that's awesome!
Hi ! The room is beautiful ! Definitely not too echoey ! Cool video , love from New York💗🐍
My first ever snake that I personally owned is a jungle carpet python. She’s great. I love her. She’s super chill and always eats. I just introduced her to rats instead of mice as she finally got large enough for rat pups.
Omg I just started watching your channel sense the incloser build off with Emily and I really like your channel it's very informative for new snake oner's
Micro Gecko video! Us Spherodactylus and Gonatodes keepers need some exposure! :)
On it!
The room (from what I can see) looks awesome man. The echo isn’t that bad. Also emerald boas are gorgeous!!!!!
I completely agree!!! Retics definitely will use height if you give it to them. Reticulated pythons do have high food drives but it’s nothing you can’t change I’ve got two working on getting one off the high food drive but the other one is one of my nicest snakes
Arboreal and semi-arboreal snakes are cool. I like the idea that you'd actually see the snake if you set up a nice display enclosure with lots of perches and climbing options. My two favorites are the jungle carpet python and the emerald tree boa. The former I might consider for a second snake after a Dumeril's Boa. I'd want to be pretty good at reading snake body language before considering the latter. I've heard they can be pretty good for handling, and they are absolutely bad-ass looking, but with those teeth and jaw muscles, a bite would be a lot more than a minor annoyance if you screwed up.
Love that your channel is gaining traction Adam! How about a top 5 of your favourite videos from the past year that people may have missed...species, content, whatever! I loved your 5 most dangerous beginners with the plains hognose and false water cobra
I love the goldenchildalbino combination morph in retics, so i want to get a supderdwarf one as my first snake
So cool!
Cool room you got there, when’s the tour so I can watch? 👀
coming soon, smash the sub button so you don't miss it :)
Yay you did a video on smaller localities like after 1 week of me commenting it 😍..
Thank you!
My Tarahumara Boa is on the way and I get a pair of Cay Caulker soon too 😍
AWESOME!
I adore that spotted python. He is so cute... and yes a zootour please... and no not echoing.... good sound...
here's the zoo tour - ruclips.net/video/4g1ZJtCND1k/видео.html
I'd like to see more of the new reptile room; I know you've worked really hard on it. Also, I didn't really notice the echo.
I wanted a rough green snake bad enough that I went ahead and got a wild caught one. But she has acclimated well and has been very healthy. And she’s probably the most beautiful thing in my reptile room.
they really are so pretty!
Love watching your videos keep em up
thanks!
the echo wasnt very noticable! Love the new reptile room, love the vibe!
hoping to do more in that room!
I have a Caramel Jungle Carpet Python and she is very handlable. She is also a great eater.
I have a converted 6' tall corner curio/China cabinet
A filtered 10 gallon in the bottom
6" of ecoearth in remaining area
Vine drapes on back screen panel walls
Large leaf fake plants standing within
Wrist size forked Vine branches crisscrossed at the screen top for basking
Cornholio is the luckiest corn snake ever
And yes , Arborial !
That animal is all over the enclosure
Basking , to tunneling
Great video bro
thank you!
Alright you got me, I think I'll have to go with a Spotted Python. Been contemplating for years on what snake to get and there are so many great options, but ultimately I want one that's actually fun to watch and handle. Having had a BCI as a kid, I loved when she would just wrap around my arm and explore anything and everything she could, and now as an adult I truly do miss that.
....and I have to jump through too many hoops in Illinois to get a Hognose, which is my ultimate pick.
We would love a room tour! I’m so excited to see what you’ve done!
coming soon!
Your reptile room looks great, thanks for the awesome content.
I found 2 rough green snakes while working and the crazy thing is I work on the river on a tow boat so it was very very surprising and the coolest thing ever
Carpets are the best. Ive had my Darwin since he was only a month old and he is the cutest thing ever, he's super handleable and my kids love just sitting on the couch with him crawling all over them. Highly recommend them as a pet.
that's awesome!
Keep it up cant wait to see youre new reptile room
Very soon!
hi Adam your awesome I dont even know how many times I said it but your the best i was thinking about getting a green tree but they hard to find in my area im now looking online😁🥰
awesome!
Congrats on the new reptile room! I don't really keep any reptiles, I'm more of a fish and dogs kind of person, but I love learning about new animals and reptiles especially :D I hope one day to keep a cool nice snake, I guess I'm doing some future research while watching your videos ;)
Thank you for mentioning hog island boas!!!😊❤
Of course!!
Sound is great to me! But I dont eatch with headphones know sometimes that can make a difference. Would really love a reptile room tour! Loved this list personally I love arboreal snakes its soooo cool to see how thry get up in trees and move around so smoothly. Who needs limbs! Get it limbs 😂 this is why I dont have friends 😞
Seeiously though I live in an apartment and cant have snakes but you and snake diacovery have REALLY helped settle my reserve over them and honestly I love them now so thabk you for all you do helping peolle learn and grow as animal lovers
hahahaha! You're awesome!
@@WickensWickedReptiles so are you 😁
Reptile room looks awesome. Look forward to see it!!
An Amazon Tree Boa would be a worthy addition to this list, but I understand that choices have to be made.
I think he didn’t mention them because they’re better for those with a little experience.
Amazon tree boas can be a handful, definitely for experienced snake keepers only.
We need a room tour. Also I want to see all the reptiles you have. Thanks for the great video.
Those Carpet Pythons really are gorgeous.
They are!
RED TAIL GREEN RAT SNAKE! The captive bread ones are supposedly great pets, little squirmy but they are my top notch dream snake to breed so CBBs are more common. They are literally my wallpaper lol. Gonyosoma in general (rhino is in that genus iirc) is so amazingly awesome.
IKR?
They're really great pets!
I have one named Razer, he is such a weirdo. Sometimes he would just chill and sometimes he would strike at me ;-; (already took 5 bites)
I wouldn't suggest handling them cuz they get grumpy sometimes but they do make really really great display snakes! They're always on display : )
Yes! I got my 8 ft BCI a cat tree and she loves climbing on it
When you talked about boa constrictors having a prehensile tail, I imagined looking up into a tree and seeing a snake swinging in a tree from its tail, just having a grand old time! :3
that would be epic
hahaha like Tarzan
@@WickensWickedReptiles Now I can hear Phil Collins singing Son of Man wile imagining it swinging. Only it's Son of Snake. And now its full on monkeying from branch to branch by gymnastic jumping. Impressive.
I enjoyed this list. Lots of solid suggestions. I’m glad you mentioned the difference between BC and BI. Also BIs come in pretty much any size you want. All the way done to a Tarahumara Mountain Boa, which is technically a Boa Sigma, but it’s a Boa that’s no larger than a Ball Python, it’s slow moving like a BP, it’s semi-arboreal but it doesn’t go on hunger strikes. Check out Tarahumara Mountain Boas and Tamaulipas Cloud Forest boas our sometime. (Not to mention Crawl Cay Island Boas and Caulker Cay Island Boa) oh yeah, one of my favorite semi-dwarf Boa, Long Tail Boas. They’re smaller than a BI but bigger than a Ball Python.
I could go on.. lol. Thanks for the videos, Adam!
Your reptile room looks amazing. Just the kind of thing I want when I get my own place
Love the retics from Q's Reptiles.
Cool video. Think you nailed it. And of course we want a room tour,and you know it.
Do a tour of the new reptile room! And the audio sounds good
coming soon!
I had a rough green snake. They are neat to watch hunt crickets.
The sound treatment seems pretty good to me. Your key light, however, is a little intense. Your skin tone on your left side of your face is pretty blown out. You could probably dial it down at least 1 - 1.5 stops or just angle it a bit more to increase the contrast on your face (also, if you're not using a softbox and snap grid, you should be) .
young carpets are grumpy and bitey, but as they mature they definitely calm down. just don't grab them like you're a bird.
for sure!
Thanks for doing this. I've been researching arboreal snakes that stay at 2 ft or less. The smooth green snake looks like a great potential.
Room tour, room tour, room tour, groom four, bloom gore, doom poor, boom pore, groom door!
Sorry got excited and forgot what I was trying to say.
hahahhaaa
Both of my BCI’s spend more time at the top of the enclosure than they do on the ground. Only time they really come down is to get water. I’m sure they roam at night but most of the time they are up in the air.
Room tour please! Do's and don''ts! We're getting ready to finish out a large room in the back of our parrot barn (separate from the birds) and I'd love to get some ideas even though ours will be on a much smaller scale! I'm maxing out at 12 snakes and a very, very teeny colony of feeder rats.
