You mentioned in one of your videos and the hook look for the sliding glass doors. Besides making them where can I buy them. I love how all of your enclosures look natural.
Trying to build a reptile shed for my animals. In California we’re allowed to have a pair of native rattlesnakes which I can live with lol. Video was a perfect realistic breakdown of how to enjoy your animal and not settle and then end up neglecting an animal. Very well said. My ideal animals unfortunately living in California would be eyelash vipers and blue insularis and rattlesnakes.
@@Zaku186 thank you I appreciate that. “No bullshit” is all you will ever get from this channel. I remain true and honest no matter what. You can bet on that.
Great video bro. You made some really good points and helped to shed some light on a lot of unknowns for new keepers. Venom Life Gear makes awesome hooks and I have personally purchased several of them over the years. I would also recommend hooks by Stoney as well because his are made out of polycarbonate material. His can be slightly pricier than traditional hooks, but it is worth every penny. They tend to be warmer than regular hooks, which can help keep your snake calmer when you're trying to hook them underneath the body. Absolute game changers! This is definitely one of those hobbies where you have to commit a lot of time to learning as you go. Also, that Bitis Arietans you have is absolutely stunning! Did you pick it up at the Hamburg show?
There has been a guy killed in the states by a copperhead that my friend caught. He was also allergic to the venom which ultimately lead to his passing. The copperhead was massive so that probably didn’t help.
@@MonitorOpsandExotics yeah that makes sense. I’ve definitely heard of people who were allergic dying really quickly. That generally isn’t attributed to the toxicity of the copperheads though, but from anaphylactic shock caused by the allergic reaction. Crazy enough Dingo was bitten by a rear fanged snake that was considered not medically significant in Bolivia a few years back and almost died just from the allergic reaction alone. That’s why it’s always important to respect the animals because you don’t know if you are allergic until you get bitten, and then it’s too late. Sorry to hear about the guy in your area.
Ive been researching for years. I still dont keep anything venomous because up until recently i didn't have my own place where i could. And i noticed 99% of the time when i would ask someone about venomous keeping they would try to talk me out of it. There is a T O N of gatekeeping in the venomous hobby and i hate it. The older guys dont want anyone getting into it and doing something dumb and getting venomous keeping banned. I understand where they are coming from but at the same time it clearly leads to people just getting venomous snakes however and having no clue then getting bit. And i agree the canned responses "get a mentor" and stuff most of us just plain cant do is just a cop out.
@@Zaku186 I couldn’t agree more. Although I generally don’t recommend keeping venomous for most people, I want to bring current and relevant information to help people get into keeping these amazing animals! Feel free to dm me on IG and I’ll help however I can.
I hear you lol. The one example I’ve seen which I can understand some of the gate keeping is that dude who got bit by an inland taipan baby and he ended being a terrible keeper in general. Which in those instances can make it harder and laws to get pushed to ban the animals. Just one bad apple lol.
Thanks sensei
You’re welcome, I’m always happy to share my knowledge

I took the Rattlesnake Conservancy level 1 and 2c classes, they're a great start for people who can't find a mentor.
@@FellsApprentice thats good advice.
I hear you lol.

@@FellsApprentice that’s what I’m taking in march! How was it?
My advice
1) Do your research.
2) Get your husbandry squared away prior to your purchase.
3) Find a quality breeder
4) DON'T DO DUMB SHIT.
👊🏾🪖🇺🇸✝️
I couldn’t agree more with your advice! It’s not as complicated as people make it seem.
