Cèsar is doing such a great thing trying to preserve these beautiful and misunderstood creatures. They are obviously cared for impeccably and look incredibly healthy. Thank you for showing us your collection,and thank you Joey for filming this
There's a rattlesnake that lives inside the concrete block wall where my washer and dryer sit. It gets above onto the ceiling and is always heard slithering back and forth, tap the ceiling and we hear it rattle. There was a hole in the concrete and it went up between the holes in the block walls. The concrete was patched and now it can't get out, its sealed off enough it either can't get out or doesn't want to. Haven't had a mouse problem since... The local exterminator wanted $800 to remove it plus cost of materials to repair wall and ceiling, sooooo... I have a rattlesnake living in my ceiling. The dryer vent going thru the wall most likely keeps it warm during the cooler months because we don't hear it on ceiling but a few taps next to dryer vent and we hear that unmistakable rattle. I live in middle of nowhere and this property sat empty for nearly ten years before I bought it, I moved into its home I think
I feel like you should probably make it so the snake can get out.... THey need like, sunlight and stuff. Places to shit, shed their skin, mate. (I suspect it already can, and isn't trapped, but yeah, if you think it's trapped, you should try to fix that)
@@coldravioli7839its crazy they are going to sleep at night knowing there is a rattlesnake TRAPPED in their home. The lack of awareness there is incredible
Yeah. The common conception that rattlesnakes rattle out of aggressiveness is absolute idiocy. They're just saying "Hey. HEY. *HEY* I'm over here. Don't step on me, you big dumb oaf. IF you step on me, then I'll bite you."
There is a video on RUclips of some guy Going Out in the desert Southwest I think and deliberately annoying every rattlesnake you confined about 60 or 70 of them. All of them did their best to get away from him and many of them never turned to strike. He poked and crowded and did his best to make them defend themselves but they were just primarily concerned with escaping.
@@goodun2974 On a camping trip in northern Canada, I once ACCIDENTALLY pissed right in a rattlesnake's face for 2 solid minutes, and it was way cooler about it than I would ever be if someone did that to me.
A cool thing about the first set of fish: As mentioned they are googieds, but what wasn't mentioned is that goodeids are livebearers -viviparous to be exact. Their reproductive strategy requires internal fertilization/copulation and they give live birth to relatively few offspring at once. In other words, they don't lay eggs; they give birth. It's a very cool family of fish.
@@mikeoxsbigg1 No, sorry, mammals are defined by having breast-milk. And snakes are lizards not fish. Some snakes are viviparous though. Squirtin' little baby snakes out. It's the miracle of life.
It looked like one of the fish was trailing an umbilical cord, something I've heard that happens after they give birth. I also heard they only have one or two babies at a time, gestation takes a long time and the babies are huge.
@@JustOneAsbesto , rattlesnakes are, of course, viviparous. As are Northern Watersnakes; growing up in New England we kept a wildcaught watersnake as a pet one summer (a foul smelling, ill-tempered pet I should mention), and it gave birth to 28 babies (neonates) overnight. Baby water snakes are actually much prettier and milder tempered than their adult counterparts, and they don't smell bad yet. We would often keep wildcaught snakes and turtles/tortoises for part of the year and let them go in the fall. At one point or another I have seen and handled virtually every snake found in my region of Southern New England except for the timber rattlers and copperheads. Never even seen one in the wild despite years of traipsing around through the woods, fishing, boating and hiking.
Hey! I just wanted to confirm that the documentary you mentioned " The Chances of The World Changing" is up for viewing on YT. Also, a concept that you mentioned while visiting a nursey in Texas a few weeks back, struck a nerve. I am the guy that plants everything "Dress Right Dress". I took it as a challenge though to do something different, so I did. Basically its a nectar and water hangout for Birds Bees and Butterflies. It's not as easy as i thought though because the urge to make it look weighted or balanced becomes tougher. Still, I am glad I did it and will continue to do so in the future. Sorry for the ramble, you are making a difference though.
Joey, gonna have to update your eyelash viper taxonomy 😉 they recently got split into a large species complex. Eyelash vipers from Mexico are currently considered B. nigroadspersus. Awesome video man, those are some beautiful snakes.
I used to ranchhand on a farm in the blackland prairie north of Waco, TX. We used to have to go in the barn and grab the pitchforks and make a big ruckus in the barn to get the rattlesnakes out every night before we put the horses up. Most of the time they were good little noodles and fucked off, but occasionally one would get stubborn about it and dig in and had to be transformed into soup and a belt or hatband or bow limb camo. I've still got a recurve bow that has WDB rattler skin on it from those days. Never felt great about killing wild animals to protect our domesticated ones, but we were creating generations of rattlers that knew to leave when they felt a human, horse or cow approach. And in the Americas, it seems like the rule for snakes is that if it's a really pretty looking species, they can ruin your weekend plans real quick-like. All the rattlers, bushmasters, copperheads, fer-de-lances, all of em have beautiful scale patterns. Except cottonmouths.
First time I hear (well, read) this joke, and I like it. But as the word fish has just a single i, the phrase 'a fish with no eyes' doesn't really work and 'a fish with no eye' sounds silly. I think it should be 'an eyeless fish' to get rid of the singular/plural problem.
I was at the Sonoran Desert Museum years ago and I came around a corner by the rattlesnake enclosures, and one, behind glass, struck right at my face. Kind of startled me. I was like, you friggin prick. But once the shock wore off, I realized I had probably just scared him.
Really gorgeous children, thanks for sharing to you and Señor (Doctora?) Lopez. When I saw "raising snakes in an apartment" I was worried but should have known you would only go to a pro. These are clearly better taken care of than most "pet" snakes. And the weird fish too.
I enjoyed your questions and conversation with Cesar very much. I really try to quell my uneasiness seeing snakes, and just look at them…I so appreciate the beauty of their skin- your long close up looks at the scales was fascinating and much appreciated. Maybe it’s their eyes, idk…but watching them I could not help but be glad I was here and not there…so thank you so much for bringing us this video. Would have liked to have seen the other snakes though! 🐍
I've watched a shit ton of nature & wildlife documentaries over the course of my adult life. Never have I ever seen a snake drink water. Until today, and I get 2 just to spite the fact. Just awesome, so lucky. Thanks for the content Mr. Doesn't. You never disappoint. Also that word shouldn't have 2 p's It just looks wrong.
BTW those blind cave tetras can and do bite. I had three in a large nearly empty tank like the one shown. I put my arm in to rearrange their ceramic stalagmites and one darted over from almost a foot away and took a little chunk out of the skin on my arm. I've heard they are fin-nippers like piranha and can't be kept with other fish.
Wow!! They're so Beautiful!! Cezer Knows Exactly what he's doing!! I Loathe people who "Collect" rare and beautiful animals and plants, because Poaching is Disgusting, ~poachers don't know what they are doing and so many critters and plants that get poached Die! Thank You so much for advocating for the Shy Rattlesnakes!!❤
collecting organisms like they're inanimate, decontextualized objects is a little fucking weird, i'm glad you said something first lol. but what cool animals, and such important work cesar is doing!! i love the close ups of their scales you shot; i don't think i've ever noticed quite how snake skin expands and contracts as they breathe.
Our aussie snakes are just like everyone else's , They really don't want to be around you and will piss off given the chance. If I'm in deep bush I just walk slower then normal to let them all know Im here.
C. tzabcan is very pretty, but I was really hoping to see Sistrurus miliarius. I'm from Ontario, we only have S. catenatus up here, but S. miliarius is absolutely my favourite snake, and so goddamn beautiful. They can have that same blue as C. tzabcan, but with orange rings around the spots.
Every rattlesnake I’ve encountered has been so unbelievably chill, just like this one. I’ve never been rattled at. Normally they just freeze up and look at you, then slowly go about their business. Maybe other species are more defensive, but I’ve almost stepped on one in Southern California, and it literally gave me no reaction.
The snakes seem to know instinctively that anyone or anything that messes with them will find itself having the very worst day of its life ---- perhaps the very last day of its life ---- and so they just don't seem to care. I definitely don't want to waste their venom on something that they can't eat, because without venom they can't catch and kill their prey.
When you are endothermic ---- getting your body heat from your surroundings and not generating it yourself ---- you don't need to ingest a lot of calories in order to maintain a high body temperature, like mammals, birds, and humans do. Also, snake venom is a sort of saliva cocktail that starts breaking down and predigesting the prey even before the snake eats it.
As a zoologist and one who cares for a lot of snakes, I will tell you that they can hear. Snakes have internal ears. mine hear me. They come out to their names. They know when it’s time to feed. There have been studies that have been done, hanging snakes and baskets from the ceiling where they could not fill vibrations and they did react to various Sounds at different frequencies, most of the frequency of their prey..
If I lived in the neighboring apartment I would be totally freaked out. But I live east of the Mississippi River in a major American city. Yet I had a neighbor once who had two exotic water lizards and boy they loved eating crickets. They were very chill reptiles as I recall in spite of their names, Beavis and Butthead.
The work Cesar is doing to help these species is admirable. However, I don't know how effective is to simply reintroduce individuals into the wild. I mean, it is not my field, I'm more of a lab parasitologist, but if populations of these species, particularly the snakes, are decreasing, it may be because the carrying capacity of the ecosystem can't support more individuals. Of course, there is poaching and killing all around, but if Cesar's efforts are not supported by conservation projects, I believe reintroducing them is merely sentencing them to death. What we need here in Mexico is environmental legislation, reduce corruption, and most importantly, education. We need to educate people and make them aware of the huge problems we will face if we continue "progressing" as we are. As the ugly Joey said in the video, is not enough for people to just take a pic and let the animal be, they want to possess it. And maybe they are on their right to do it, who knows, but what if instead of poaching illegally, wont it be better to legislate the market so people like Cesar can provide individuals to collectors and leave the wild animals alone? Of course legislating the market implies also that not just anyone can have a f*ing rattle snake in their house, come on! Also, I guess people would pay a good amount of money for one of these.
Have to be careful with this approach. In Australia we messed up our native fish by doing releases of genetics which were optimised for breading capacity, over all else. Washed out the genetic diversity.
The wise tom crutchfield says "once u see the snake, you're safe". If u see it and get bit, that was on u. Or u saw it too late. They dont wana hurt ppl they get scared
snake bites are incredibly expensive, a guy that got bit last month got a bill for $105,000.00. it said for the first 3 hours! for a diamondback bite. he was out in the field looking for rattlers, the bite came out of nowhere from an unseen snake they just walked by. ''ICU is around $10k a day. Ambulance rides are $3-6k. Helicopter ride if needed is around $30k. Antivenom is around $1,500-$6,000 a vial. '' the vid is titled ''Rattlesnake Bite While Herping Central Texas''. i would not mess around with any rattlers, just leave them in their habitat. this guy who got bit just went out looking for snakes again after being bit, and again didn't see a snake. fortunately it didn't strike.
Snakes in a tupperware? 🙄 I get that they're endangered and so it's an emergency and everything but is that legit? I'm not an expert in reptile husbandry... Nice that he cares about their microbiome. But that poor curious snake in the Rubbermaid needs some enrichment activity. I'm not vegan though so I guess I'm a hypocrite anyways
"Enrichment" to a snake is eating a baby mouse. They don't derive pleasure from playing with toys or chewing on sticks, nor do other reptiles (or amphibians for that matter). Not that they should be cherished less than a baby chimpanzee wrestling with its dad, they just don't require that sort of thing. A snake does not think about whether it is happy or not like an elephant might, it operates on strictly evolutionary requirements.
If it puts your heart at ease a little, there is another channel (I don't remember the name now) that does snake rescue and vet work, where they take it and rehab snake, and they literally keep them in some bark with a water container in a drawer. Shit is wild but I guess they jsut naturally hang out like that for a month or so, if they keep em longer they'll add some different substrate to make it interesting. I guess their needs are a bit different and they said they're less likely to get hurt that way.
(I'm not a snake specialist, I just think herpes are cool) But a guy at a herpetology museum once told me that snakes that live in burrows (like rattlesnakes) prefer smaller more enclosed spaces.

I used to see the Pacific rattlers around the north coast of California regularly, but never see them anymore the last few years.
I didn't know they ate that infrequently, once or twice a month. Wish I could do that...
I've known plenty of junkies that have eaten like that
When you are endothermic ---- getting your body heat from your surroundings and not generating it yourself ---- you don't need to ingest a lot of calories in order to maintain a high body temperature, like mammals, birds, and humans do.

A good species but my favorite is C. muertensis, as far as Mexico goes.
So which came first, the diabetes or the blindness? (That's a joke, if you're a fish; but not a joke if you're a human with diabetes).
Have to be careful with this approach. In Australia we messed up our native fish by doing releases of genetics which were optimised for breading capacity, over all else. Washed out the genetic diversity.
I have held under control a western dimond back rattlesnake and i didn't kill it. Its free.
they are both ambush predators and ambushing prey at the same time

But that poor curious snake in the Rubbermaid needs some enrichment activity. I'm not vegan though so I guess I'm a hypocrite anyways
I don't think snakes behave much like primates lol. Most don't wander very far. They find a hole and they post up for years.
"Enrichment" to a snake is eating a baby mouse. They don't derive pleasure from playing with toys or chewing on sticks, nor do other reptiles (or amphibians for that matter). Not that they should be cherished less than a baby chimpanzee wrestling with its dad, they just don't require that sort of thing. A snake does not think about whether it is happy or not like an elephant might, it operates on strictly evolutionary requirements.
If it puts your heart at ease a little, there is another channel (I don't remember the name now) that does snake rescue and vet work, where they take it and rehab snake, and they literally keep them in some bark with a water container in a drawer. Shit is wild but I guess they jsut naturally hang out like that for a month or so, if they keep em longer they'll add some different substrate to make it interesting. I guess their needs are a bit different and they said they're less likely to get hurt that way.
(I'm not a snake specialist, I just think herpes are cool) But a guy at a herpetology museum once told me that snakes that live in burrows (like rattlesnakes) prefer smaller more enclosed spaces.
