Mate, respect for the way you handled him. The fact you handled him so carefully even though he seemed like he was super chill shows you are a great keeper. Beautiful snake and holy $hit he is huge. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Cheers.
Excellent video. I like how you're so calm and respectful of your snakes, trying to cause them the least amount of stress as possible. I didn't know the bushmaster was so "delicate", and that they mostly stayed underground in agouti burrows (who I feel sure are also a prey item for the bushmaster.) Thank you for all the interesting information you always impart on your videos. For those of us who like to learn, it's a lot of fun! Char from Phoenix 🌵🌄🏜️🐍
Its so refreshing to see a PRO handling venomous snakes slowly carefully and not show boating.. great specimen and super glad I found your channel mate.. love from Aus
WOw! Huge! So very much to learn about them. I am fortunate to have seen two wild Black Headed Bushmasters in my life, the most recent was last week (yes, I made a video). My friends in Costa Rica have seen only 4-6 over the last 10-12 years. a remarkable species.
Very well done on the handling of the snake. I feel like other people put themselves in danger way more than necessary but you are very professional/respectful about it which is what i like to see
This is my 1st time viewing your channel. I just want to say, you really know your stuff my friend.. great job! Keep up the informative vids and stay safe.
I'm not in favor of private venomous collection but am in favor of institutional and venom research keepers. Still I like how you handle this snake. Slow, methodical, and actually not much time wise. I like that you weren't "showy" with it and got right to the point. Serious snake.
I got to say I like the way this guy handles the snake unlike most other RUclipsrs I see messing with snakes they do very careless things and I always end up saying videos on their page talking about how many times and how many different snakes they've been bit by and I see them doing careless things the only thing and I am not a professional nor do I mess with snakes but I have learned a lot about snakes being in the military and training and ol different corners of the world and having to learn about the wild life because of doing field training and things like night land nav operations and night reconnaissance Patrols in areas like Australia and the Philippines Thailand and being deployed in countries with very venomous snakes. So again I'm not a professional so please take my thoughts and ideas with a grain of salt the only thing I would do differently is set that box 30 soaking the snake in on a rug so when he lifted the lid off and slid it on the floor that way it would not make such a loud popping and slapping sound that way it doesn't scare or frighten the snake with the loud noises. Other than that I love how he keeps his distance with his snake tongs, slides the top on and off with it and even putting pressure down on the lid so he knows with out a doubt that the snake can not strike and knock the lid off and strike again and hit him.
this species originates from central America (Lachesis Melanocephala), but there is an even bigger one that is the Surucucu peak-of-jackfruit (Lachesis Muta) originates from South America, the name. (peak-of-jackfruit because her skin looks identical to the jackfruit)
Awesome dude. I got to see these at Dean Ripa’s before it closed. I’m obsessed with them. They’re easily the most intimidating and cryptic snake species in my opinion. I’d rather take a bullet than take a bite from a Bushmaster. It’s mind boggling that Dean took 7 bites from Bushmasters. It’s almost like he and those snakes were hardwired for each other. His work is unprecedented. Good video bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you I was hopping to see his collection one day. That day will never come sad really. They are an amazing animal for sure and thanks by the way. He will be missed such a wealth of knowledge.
venomman20 He also had a serious Bothrops collection. I’d guess he probably had 6-10 different species. The one was the nastiest looking fucker I’d ever seen. Just a huge Fer De Lance with the biggest head ive ever seen on one. His vivariums must have cost a minimum of 10K a piece. The Bushmaster setup had to have been 25k. He re-created the tropics. And the Black Mambas were insane. Being that close to them, they look like fine suede. Just beautiful creatures
The only comment I can express is “Are you Nuts”… I’m afraid of a Black Snake.. I can’t imagine having any of these around me.. Good Luck with your hobby!!!
Fantastic video! You are quite the pro! How many feet can they lunge to attack? It seems like you were very close to his head several times. He must really trust you.
that's a monster bushmaster i thought it was a timber rattle snake at first what if someone that's a diabetic and got bit because im a diabetic would that be bad to get bitten i really enjoyed the video stay safe
Great video! Love the setup -- cant wait to see more with the new bushmaster caging. Just curious -- where did your acquire that bushmaster? Sad you got him so mature and with dry shed -- careful with soaking in chlorhexodine -- being for external use only, I hope he didn't drink any of it! Cheers! Look forward to more!
I got this one from a friend of mine I think he raised it. Will do on the soaking I made sure he was well hydrated before the soaking. Thanks by the way
When I was child we faund some ones .black plates from 3 mts more long in our zone Coto brus (South región of Costa Rica), actuality in our land farm are living big one.
I could but honestly if you have the resources and ability to keep bushmasters you probably wouldn't need much help from me lol. But it would be good to compare husbandry notes and such for sure
The Bushmasters I have watched in videos and documentaries are relatively 'mellow', laid back snakes not straight away overly aggressive like puff adders or Lance-head vipers, do you agree guys?
Chlorhexidine continues to work up to 20, possibly 30 minutes after especially in the form of Hibiscrub. I use Hibiscrub, or the generic form here in the UK, Hydrex. I use it for cleaning snake enclosures and snakes.
They run about the same price as any other enclosure. I agree they aren't real space efficient. I think they only come in the one size and I do believe he has stopped making them he said he has 60 left. I did a video on them it is my unboxing 6 vipers update video where I go over some pros and cons
Though I will never understand why anyone would voluntarily keep snakes for any reason ... it’s refreshing to finally see someone that handles these death dealers with the respect they deserve. So tired of watching the kids on here “play” with these deadly snakes as if they’re toys...
Thank you I appreciate that and I agree. I have seen a few people who really know what they are doing but most the time it's someone trying to show off. That's not what it's all about.

Now that’s how to handle a venomous snake, calm and methodical. Excellent video my friend
Thank you I appreciate that a lot.
I was saying the same thing!!!
I enjoyed seeing a Bushmaster of that size. Good video.
Love to find a keeper that shows legit safe handling methods on their RUclips channel. Subscribed!
Thanks so much
The way you handles that snake was nothing short of Professional good job I love your videos man keep up the good work!
Thank you so much

Thank you very much. The calmer I stay the calmer he will stay I have quite a few huge updates you should enjoy
Absolutely love the quality of care and respect you have for these awesome one of a kind animals. Your passion really shows
DUDE!!! THATS ONE MASSIVE BUSHMASTER! Better you than me.
Hahaha thanks all day everyday love these guys
Black-headed Bushmaster is my personal favorite snake, tied with the Black Mamba!!! That one is HUGE, too!!!

Have you posted it I would love to watch that
@@venomman20 Working on it now...short teaser in video dropped today showing the snake in situ.
Great video, appreciate your time to make it!
Man that thing looks like a gaboon viper, a timber rattler, and a boa constrictor all wrapped into one. Very impressive
Thank you the ridges on the scales are unlike any other snake I have worked with. He's so rough.
@@venomman20 what's the largest Bushmaster ever recorded? I've seen some handlers have rattlesnakes that size
@@EmissariesoftheGospel some reports say 12ft others say 14ft. The record I know of is like 11ft 8 inches or close to
@@venomman20 I'd like to see one that size on video
@@EmissariesoftheGospel same here
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you properly handle a venomous snake ❤
Love the concern for the animals well being. Magnificent creature. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching my video

Wow, you make handling a beast like that look easy brother! Masterful technique. Love your videos, keep up the great work! Jamie from Massachusetts.
Love your content
Holy $#!+ man thats a huge Bushmaster
Beautiful animal👍👍
Thank you some species get longer but the venom glands and girth are biggest in the blackheads
Wow pretty impressive how you carefully handle that snake. Terrible how some RUclipsrs careless do there videos just to rise the views
Happy to find a new channel I think I'll enjoy!
I'm happy you found it as well I'm sure you will enjoy the upcoming videos
They seem very patient
Love the set up and love the videos

You are the first person to use the term of how toxic the venom is correctly . Thank you for not saying how venomous it is.
Lol anytime
Glad to see the channel back up.
Thanks it feels good to be back
Love how care full this guy is , some snake handlers seem to take to big of risks for entertainment value .

1st Nice Monster 🐍👍👍👍
Nice thanks for being quick on the draw lol
Wow that’s incredible👍
Thank you I appreciate it
Man you have ice water in your veins. I couldn't do it, wouldn't do it.
You must really, really love venomous snakes. Great video..
Yes I do. Feeding time is a real marathon on the nerves I have a video of that coming out tomorrow or Sunday. Thanks for the compliment by the way
The only comment I can express is “Are you Nuts”… I’m afraid of a Black Snake..
I can’t imagine having any of these around me.. Good Luck with your hobby!!!
Lol hobby this is my Career and life's work
That skin pattern and head shape makes it easy for the non-expert to confuse this snake with a common Boa.
Fantastic video! You are quite the pro! How many feet can they lunge to attack? It seems like you were very close to his head several times. He must really trust you.
Wow, that is some viper! Australia.
Thank you he is a monster.
Breathtaking
Thank you
That is a huge Bushmaster holy shit
He is a pretty big dude
@@venomman20 i wouldn't wanna bre bitten by that snake

Excellent handling! Shout out to you from The Serpentarium Trinidad and Tobago....
This is a Beauty :)

that's a monster bushmaster i thought it was a timber rattle snake at first what if someone that's a diabetic and got bit because im a diabetic would that be bad to get bitten i really enjoyed the video stay safe
Any bite is a bad bite. I'm not sure of any toxin that would effect you differently but I could be wrong on that.
I've kept snakes for 53 years. I don't like free handling videos generally. Yours however, is pretty respectful and not gratuitous.
Well done.
Thank you I appreciate that out if everything you have kept what was your favorite?
Great video! Love the setup -- cant wait to see more with the new bushmaster caging. Just curious -- where did your acquire that bushmaster? Sad you got him so mature and with dry shed -- careful with soaking in chlorhexodine -- being for external use only, I hope he didn't drink any of it! Cheers! Look forward to more!
I got this one from a friend of mine I think he raised it. Will do on the soaking I made sure he was well hydrated before the soaking. Thanks by the way
Bush masters seem to be kindve calm.
Check out my feeding video if you think that lol
Massive 💪💪
He is a biggen lol
@@venomman20 what is the biggest bushmaster.
@@sanjaysingh0341 the south American is the longest. Although the central American and blackheaded hold more weight
@@venomman20 thanks man.
@@sanjaysingh0341 you're welcome
You hande that snake with respect. You seem to know what your doing when can we see some live feedings
I dont feed live rodents but I did upload a feeding I did live just the other day im sure another is coming soon
wow the pattern is very similar to a timber/cane break rattlesnake
New sub good show
Thank you I appreciate it
Great looking Bushmaster. What are the aboriginal cages you are using?
Thank you I'm doing a video on the cages soon but this is where I get them Joe damke custom arboreal cages
@@venomman20 Thanks, look forward to it.
@@dinoreps you are welcome anytime
When I was child we faund some ones .black plates from 3 mts more long in our zone Coto brus (South región of Costa Rica), actuality in our land farm are
living big one.
Chandler should watch this and perhaps learn a thing or two. 😂
W.O.W.
Is this a good wow ???
You should post a video on how to care for bushmasters in captivity... IF you’re lucky enough to work with them.
I could but honestly if you have the resources and ability to keep bushmasters you probably wouldn't need much help from me lol. But it would be good to compare husbandry notes and such for sure
Can you discuss the ability or inability to become resistant to venom? Are you resistant to any of the snakes you profiles? Thanks
Yes I can do that thats going to be a labor intensive video so give me a few to get it done
The Bushmasters I have watched in videos and documentaries are relatively 'mellow', laid back snakes not straight away overly aggressive like puff adders or Lance-head vipers, do you agree guys?
Lanceheads are way worse but bushmasters speed can be surprising just never push them to that point lol
New subscriber have you ever been bitten and how many times
Never been bit by a venomous reptile
Chlorhexidine continues to work up to 20, possibly 30 minutes after especially in the form of Hibiscrub. I use Hibiscrub, or the generic form here in the UK, Hydrex. I use it for cleaning snake enclosures and snakes.
Pretty strong chemical for sure
was this a wild caught animal
Just found your channel. Just curious how do you like the kennel type enclosures. Look great.
They are pretty nice I'm an all glass front type guy so they are taking some getting used to but they save a lot of glass's cleaning from water spots.
@@venomman20 they dont look to space efficient but there are other things I like about them. Do they come in different sizes? Costy?
They run about the same price as any other enclosure. I agree they aren't real space efficient. I think they only come in the one size and I do believe he has stopped making them he said he has 60 left. I did a video on them it is my unboxing 6 vipers update video where I go over some pros and cons
Who would win bushmaster or Malaysian king cobra
Whats the average lifespan of a snakekeeper?
Let me ask you handling a black mamba would be more dangerous or the black headed Bushmaster ? Man that's one intimidating looking snake..
Black mamba the speed is unreal plus the venom is one of the fastest acting in the world
good afternoon! Do you trade poison from your snakes?
No I do not
@@venomman20
Do you know any buyers?
Though I will never understand why anyone would voluntarily keep snakes for any reason ... it’s refreshing to finally see someone that handles these death dealers with the respect they deserve. So tired of watching the kids on here “play” with these deadly snakes as if they’re toys...

What type of arboreal cages are those?
I have a video on these cages coming out today if you need to know sooner let me know I'll look it up again lol
I wish I could own one of those.
Where did you get those cages anyway?
Joe damke custom arboreal cages
Never worry about looking stupid when you got a big venomous snake, just be safe bro
I was in the us military in Panama and we were warned about them...
To shoot on sight? lol
Interested in the ratio you mix the chlorhexidine .
For the soak I go for 10% chlorhex with 90%water for the animal and 1%chlorhex to water ratio for cleaning tools after
There is no way in hell..Been a lover of snakes my whole life.
