Thanks for your push, and your support... Couldn't be where we are without your help. Not many people wiling to help someone they don't know but that says a lot about you as a man, great integrity. It will never be forgotten bro! #wolfpack #venomsquad
Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible information about the chemical crypsis - I instantly had to google it and read the article :-) I had never heard of that before - you always provide the most interesting scientific information! I really do appreciate that!
Nice video. Lots of great knowledge. I'd never have an animal like any of these as pets but I enjoy watching stuff like this and learning something new about the world. Gotta sub.
RUclips has taken down 10 of our live feeding videos, too graphic and if people report or flag them, they delete em! So watch the ones that are still loaded before they Get flagged. If we load another, after the warning we get removed! So ... We lice em too for the fact its nature and we do venom research but.... Thanks for watching Jeff!!! Appreciate your support!
Great info! Didn't know puff adders got that big, thought it was a average 3'/4' tops animal. Also didn't know their venom was hotter than the gaboon's. Used to think the gaboon was king but now it seems like a draw bite for bite. Puff is more toxic but the gaboon will give more and deliver it deeper. When you throw in the Puff's larger range I think you're right in saying it's the deadlier species although with this contest it's safe to say you're @$_&## either way. Great video Willie and wifey, please keep em coming!!! #Venomsquad4life
Out of these 2 I would go with the puff adder being the most dangerous, Nr1- it accounts for the most bites in Africa Nr2- it’s the fastest striking Nr3- there are more closer to people
Happy New Year Willie & Mrs. VemonCentral!! I’m over the moon for this video!! The Gaboon is my favourite snake of all & the Puff Adder is now a close second!! They are both amazing creatures!! I think the Puff Adder is the winner in the contest because of the range of places found & hotter venom. The gaboon wins ALL DAY with beauty, long fangs & dose of venom!! That being said, you are screwed getting tagged by either!! You & ViperKeeper are my Two Most Watched & Enjoyed RUclips Channels!! Hope you all have the Most Blessed, Joyous & Happy New Year!!! God Bless & the Love of Christ to you all!!#VenomSquad
Out of those two bitis I gotta go with the puffs just because of the personality of the ones I've had in the past, both congo and Tanzanian locals. Gabbys are gorgeous though
These videos are getting better and better! Good editing, great information and good sound and picture quality! Keep improving those things and this channel will grow! Well it already should but that will come!!
I just want to give good quality solid information on what I do and the animals I work with. I have worked with venomous snakes for 35 years so this part is easy. Its the whole filming ,editing, sound and lighting thing that we need to learn. LOL Thank you for tour support
@@VenomCentral no problem Willy just watch other good channels for editing ideas but mostly just be yourself which is adzactly what you are doing! Most important is picture quality and sound and your improving both! It does take a while to learn editing but dont be afraid to try new stuff! Love your knowledge though it really shines so keep it up this video was a real advance on original videos so its obvious your learning and learning well! 🐍
Would be curious to hear your insight regarding their respective striking ranges. I heard that gabbies can cover huge distances when they feel threatened; no clue about the rhino vipers. Fantastic video - subscription was a no-brainer
Just watch some of my gaboon videos, I always talk about gaboons having extreme speed and stretch and they literally levitate and twist during a strike and you don't see it until I SLO MO the video... as ambush predators they stay in one place, with their camo, for long periods of time. The dragon huffing is normally one of their defensive signs. Thanks for watching!! And for the sub... Welcome to #VenomCentral
I give the edge of speed to the puff adder Gaboon Viper size advantage It’s not necessarily about the big eats the small it’s a matter of the fast eating the slow
Its crazy, the *Gaboon* vipers I have seen, has all been super relaxed and chilled out. Even the wild ones! There is a video done by a awesome handler named *Kurdt Greenwood,* where he is actually laying next to a wild *Gaboon* viper and was even free handling it! It was the most chilled out snake I've ever seen lol. Still super dangerous, even holding it behind the head can be dangerous because of those long fangs!
I just re-watched this video and Willie I have to say you are doing great educational videos. If I was a bio teacher in school your videos would be a must for my students. Great info. #venomsquadtillidie.
I appreciate that! Maybe one day... If we get a serpentarium up and running again, we do exactly that, for schools, military etc. There is a private high school counselor in NC that brought classes for private "tours" and feedings. She still is on contact with my wife saying that those educational trips are still talked about! Hopefully the world gets back to some kind of normal soon! It's even better learning up close and personal! Thanks again!!! Great comment!
Interesting and great to watch. Could you do a how is venom developed in snakes , why one venom is more toxic then another ie its various compounds ect . How long does it take venom glands to fill up after in venimating its prey. And if these various venoms could be used in medical research ie cancer ect . Keep it going have a great day
Just found your channel. I have so much respect for your work and thank you. Puff adder is faster and is probably closer in proximity to people than Gaboons. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
I don't know too much about snakes except Midwest U.S. where I live, I am just amazed at the color and patterns of the Gaboon.!!! When I first heard that name, I said " what the heck is that?
Hey there you got my sub today I just found your channel and I gotta say you have great info I herp here in my home state our largest venomous snake here is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake I've had a few run ins with some giants
It is an outstanding and excellent informative comparison between West Africa Gaboon Viper ( Bitis Gaboonica Rhinoceros) and Puff Adder ( Bitis Arietans ). The range of the Bitis Gaboonica Rhinoceros is clear, however, some viewers may get confused when they see Bitis Gaboonica Gabonica (East Africa Gaboon Viper). I hope so next time to post a comparison between Bitis Gaboonica Rhinoceros (West Africa Gaboon Viper) and Bitis Gaboonica Gaboonica ( East Africa Gaboon Viper). HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
Puff Adder is more toxic and aggressive than the Gaboon. Great presentation, beautiful specimens. Love Gaboons coloration, just beautiful. Do they only reside in Africa?
Can I put a link to Venom Central on my Rohrback Reptile Rescue page? I'm gathering info etc. to help spread education about snakes and hots. Been working with the state department of wildlife and parks to get something going since we don't have anything here.
i have heard that the puff adder can envenomate without a strike . i have heard that the puff adder can stab you as you hold their head . can you advise ? thank you
OMG those Gaboon fangs are incredible. Wow, unbelievable! Dangerous but beautiful snake. Definitely one of the prettiest snakes I have ever seen. What is the life span of the two snakes, who are their predators?
Grew up in Zimbabwe…in the villages, puff adders would slither into our blankets…mainly during winter. Literally you would sleep and roll the whole night without it moving or striking. Had too many encounters with them. Don’t get me wrong, step too close when out in the fields and they’ll strike. So I’m not sure what to think of them in terms of their temperament. 🤔
Well the puff adder is more widespread and has the more toxic venom, so that technically makes them more dangerous. But you also have to factor in temperament. Both snakes are willing to bite if you mess with them in anyway, but which snake has the more predictable behavior? I would say the puff adder has the more predictable behavior. You know what you are getting with a puff adder, they let you know when they are about to strike you. But with a gaboon viper their behavior changes often, they can become more unpredictable therefore more dangerous in that regard. EDIT: Also the puff adder seem more chilled than the gaboon viper. The gaboon viper was hissing. But overall I would say the puff adder is more dangerous just because they are more widespread.
I dunno your right about fhe gabby being unpredictable but ive had gabbys there pretty chill for the most part... Hence why people get bit by them they get too comfortable with gabbys and bang your bit....
they both looked equally as fast to me, my question is if they mate what characteristics do the offspring have? do they take more after one species or can they take genes from either? and how does it affect their fangs and venom? and do they have the gaboons white lines across the top of the spine? loads of questions I know but It's interesting lol
Not sure, toxinology.com does great, up to date research on venom and they show several toxins present but not defined. Check out the site, it's free and its through U of Adelaide in Australia. www.toxinology.com Shows info on snakes, spiders, all things venomous. Thanks for watching. #venomsquad
Beautiful animals Willy! I've read that the Puff Adder has the fastest strike of all snakes. (At least I'm pretty sure it was the Puff Adder) The Gaboon appeared faster bc it hit so brutally. But I believe the Puff Adder was faster. All things that you said considered, I believe the Puff Adder is the more dangerous snake! Thanks for posting this video along with ALL the other great videos!!
I am going out on a limb here but I like challenges. As far as body count I am thinking the Puff Adder has this competition belly scales down. The reason I am leaning in this direction is these two occupy two different environments. The Puff Adder I think is found everywhere humans are found resulting in more frequent encounters than the Gaboon that lives in more remote areas. This is also almost like a question like would you rather be shot on the right side of your head or the left side. No matter which side you choose your dead in this case. I also heard that Puff Adders have a different thing going on with their neck to head attachment making them even more dangerous to handle. I am sure everyone has seen the video of a guy getting bit through the lower lip of the Gaboon he was handling. The handler got tagged in the finger when one of those huge fangs got hung up and did not fold up as they usually do. The guy was really screwed like grabbing a tiger by the tail, damned if you let go and damned if you hold on. Let’s see how the dice roll. :) I did fairly well I think. :) I had no idea that Puff Adders employed sent blocking! Still many very interesting facts about snakes yet to be discovered. Medical uses, whoed a thunk it?
New to your channel and I have to say you give more education and background of each snake more than anyone else. Great video and as far as which snake is faster or worse? Either one will ruin your day. Gaboon looks more intimidating but both will kill you so it's a tie
Awesome glad you enjoyed it! Definitely need to check out some of the newer videos. Better camera, 🎤 and just all around better as we do more videos. Thanks so much for watching and your great comment! Appreciate it and welcome to the #venomcentralfamily #venomsquad 🙏🐍👍🔥💪
Yes, i watch u both, viper keeper . As he would say, does not matter who is faster , they are faster than us period ! Gaboon, puff adder, i respect both because both can and will kill me. #respect
I think you give good advice,your snakes are top notched,just seen a video of Albert Gillion free handling gaboon vipers and rattlesnakes,he’s been bitten numerous times,do you think this guy is ammuned or just crazy, also I think the puffs are more dangerous.
Oh, how I would very much enjoy at least a 1080p quality video when I look at snakes, it feels like I’m watching a video on my old tv that only were HD ready with 720p, it feels like ages ago. 🤓 yes I know I’m a pixel snob... 🙈but very nice quality on the information part 👌🏼
Believe it or not we just got the newest GoPro hero black 8 and filmed in 4K and the clips were beautiful. BUT when it produced, because GoPro clips were mixed with other camera angle clips, they are NOT 4k, it lowered the fps to 30 and quality and crisp pixels went down...everything looked ordinary again. Today the filming is being done 100% with GoPro so that it produces correctly. Now if it will only upload to YT correctly, we'll see. But I hate not see the snakes perfectly. GoPro showed every detail of every scale... stay tuned and hopefully we'll get it figured out. Just got the GoPro yesterday so it's a learning curve. #venomsquad
well ,,,,, when it comes to the most toxic ,,, puff adderz .... speed wise i choose the Gaboon Vipz .... They are my favorite species of venomous snake ,,,, one of them ,,,,Great video ,,,, keep rollin' bra '
Hi Willie , as usual a brilliant video always enjoyed. I live in the UK & thank Christ we don't have things like this to worry about. look forward to the next one matey. I would just like to give them both one extra meal, the bastard who let this virus go ! Chris.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it - please subscribe. I try to do educational information on venomous and captive care, handling, feeding, but while still being enjoyable to watch. Sorry you took so a bad bite I hope you had a full recovery with no long term effects. Welcome to #venomsquad
Great video Thanks. Interesting fact. The puff adders name does not come from the hissing sound it makes. In Afrikaans (Local South African Language) it is called "Pofadder" "Pof" in Afrikaans means to puff up. Like the Puffadders do when confronted. Love your channel
Two of my favorite snakes right here. I think I like the Gaboon the most. Just such a cool looking snake. So strong and are so thick. Almost like a python and Viper cross breed. Too bad the audio is a little off as this is a great video. Maybe a revisit of these 2 3-4 years later in the future? Learn alot from your videos. You and Viperkeeper both do great videos
Well, most dangerous, the puff purely because it has more interactions with people and more land. The gaboon is a more passive snake but it has the most potential to kill if given equal access/coverage. It's just not as likely to willingly strike a person ( without being startles or baited into it).
Asking me to choose between bitis species is like choosing a favourite kid, its next to impossible for me and unfair XD - Though i'd have to pick the gaboon if it was down to life or death. Beautiful to look at, the fangs are scary, specially the fact that it can sneek a fang out of the side of its mouth, i just love and respect the bitis as a whole. Puffies, gaboons, gabinos, rhinos, they're all on my bucket list to see in person.
If anyone is interested, *Dingo Dinklemen* actually did a video on who has the longest fangs in the snake kingdom. The *Gaboon Viper* of course was going to be the winner till *Dingo* pulled out a *Meshang Viper* and those fangs were actually longer by a inch. The *Meshang Viper* is such a rare snake that people just really never see it.
Dry bites occur quite frequently when snakes are in a defensive posture and they understand it's not prey or food. I know several people who have been dry bitten. You have to understand that venom is a precious commodity to these animals and they don't want to waste it on a non prey bite. It takes time for venom gland to rejuvenate. Thanks for watching and sharing your great question! 🐍💪👍🙏
@@VenomCentral I appreciate that. I'm aware that several rattlers dry bite more often than not, whereas a dry bite from a black mamba is nearly unheard of. I just didn't know with these two and one was curious. Thank you for answering
Mamba's are in a league of their own. In every way. Always mean business, coming at you full throttle, mouth open. Fastest metabolism ever, in constant motion like a great white shark 🦈. Just not a species of special concern and luckily not high on list of snakes needed for venom labs. 🙏 My snakes strike from feeding response and if you ever have watched any of my Fangs in your Face videos, the venom squirts everywhere, even on frozen thawed rodents. They don't know the difference with my feeding techniques and that's good because of their need for Venom in digestion. Appreciate your thoughts!! 🐍👍🙏
Hallo Venomcentral, can't you improve your sound a little bit? I think it's very bad! Btw, I think Gaboons are the smartest and most adorable of all snakes!
Puff adder is more deadly than Gaboon viper. The puff adder is more widespread, have an irritable tempérament and have a faster striking speed compared to the gaboon.
The Gaboon viper is a puff adder that's supersized. Though the Gaboon vipers are usually laidback, they pack the viperine answer to a Gatling gun with bigger fangs and a more massive set of venom glands so they can envenomate their prey. Puff adders have speed and aggression to back up their venom delivery system and big fangs. Don't expect a dry bite from either one, though. Dry bites are where a venomous snake bites you but no venom is injected. Adult vipers usually have greater control over their venom delivery systems than baby vipers and younger vipers.
The puff adder is the one that bit Kim Basinger's son in the famous movie, "I Dreamed of Africa." He was extremely foolish and ignored his mother's warning to keep only non-poisonous snakes. He took a minute to take his glove off and the adder bit him very fast.
The one that is 2 feet away from me is the most dangerous.
Another great video Willy . You are the man when it comes to education !
Thanks for your push, and your support... Couldn't be where we are without your help. Not many people wiling to help someone they don't know but that says a lot about you as a man, great integrity. It will never be forgotten bro! #wolfpack #venomsquad
I watched about 10 of your videos and looked up and realized I wasn’t subscribed yet! I just fixed that.
Awesome, informative, and interesting video. I always find myself waiting for you to post. Keep up the good work man.
I always enjoy your videos son . I find them so interesting and full of information, thank you Willie.
Happy New Years venom central..and another great video..
I love the new edits on the videos!! They are awesome! Keep up the amazing work!
Great video Willie. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Awesome video man
Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible information about the chemical crypsis - I instantly had to google it and read the article :-) I had never heard of that before - you always provide the most interesting scientific information! I really do appreciate that!
I just figured it out by inference.
Nice video. Lots of great knowledge. I'd never have an animal like any of these as pets but I enjoy watching stuff like this and learning something new about the world. Gotta sub.
Mike: Definitely the puffy faster. Gaboom solid heavy hitter. Beautiful display. You are becoming my number one handler.🐁🐥🎧🥂Thanks for the post
great info , very informative. I’d like to see live feeding to see which ones hurt juice works the fastest

Having lived in South Africa all my life I do not know the Gaboon. But I know I do not want to be bitten by a Puffy. They don't get out the way.
This is the best snake channel on YT, great video!
Imagine buying a python only to find out later that it’s a puff daddy mac adder 🤫
Out of these 2 I would go with the puff adder being the most dangerous,
Nr1- it accounts for the most bites in Africa
Nr2- it’s the fastest striking
Nr3- there are more closer to people

Awesome! Email us for the info:. deena@venomcentral.org
Out of those two bitis I gotta go with the puffs just because of the personality of the ones I've had in the past, both congo and Tanzanian locals. Gabbys are gorgeous though
Please add more articles you have found on different species definitely loved that article

Just a guess a the puff adder is faster than a gaboon but pound pound the gaboon more venom
Interesting and great to watch. Could you do a how is venom developed in snakes , why one venom is more toxic then another ie its various compounds ect . How long does it take venom glands to fill up after in venimating its prey. And if these various venoms could be used in medical research ie cancer ect . Keep it going have a great day

The Gaboon appeared faster bc it hit so brutally.

Yes, i watch u both, viper keeper .
As he would say, does not matter who is faster , they are faster than us period !
Gaboon, puff adder, i respect both because both can and will kill me.
#respect
Excellent! Thanks for watching #VenomCentral and appreciate your comments!
Thanks for your education
Would amount matter does the Gabon pumping more venom in make up for less toxic venom?

BUT when it produced, because GoPro clips were mixed with other camera angle clips, they are NOT 4k, it lowered the fps to 30 and quality and crisp pixels went down...everything looked ordinary again. Today the filming is being done 100% with GoPro so that it produces correctly. Now if it will only upload to YT correctly, we'll see. But I hate not see the snakes perfectly. GoPro showed every detail of every scale... stay tuned and hopefully we'll get it figured out. Just got the GoPro yesterday so it's a learning curve. #venomsquad
Venom Central I’m here for good man 👌🏼♥️🐍🌎
I love Gabions, but the puff adder has the win in my opinion
Same here
Interesting. Apart from tubing them, I regard Bitis as strictly hands-off as a genus.
Puff adder is more dangerous
Like both 🐍. But over all I like the Gaboon over all. Great Video
Very much like the Australian death adder or king Brown.
well ,,,,, when it comes to the most toxic ,,, puff adderz .... speed wise i choose the Gaboon Vipz .... They are my favorite species of venomous snake ,,,, one of them ,,,,Great video ,,,, keep rollin' bra '
Absolutely! Working on new video now! Thanks so much!
Hi Willie , as usual a brilliant video always enjoyed. I live in the UK & thank Christ we don't have things like this to worry about. look forward to the next one matey. I would just like to give them both one extra meal, the bastard who let this virus go !
Chris.
wow the content is amazing, i didn't realize that i knew so little about Snakes in my country S.A
Thanks so much for watching! Stay safe and stay tuned...😷
How far are you from ocean isle
Glad I saw your channel. Very accurate information...
Been catching Puff Adder for years and it was also my first snake bite, they are dangerous..
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it - please subscribe. I try to do educational information on venomous and captive care, handling, feeding, but while still being enjoyable to watch. Sorry you took so a bad bite I hope you had a full recovery with no long term effects. Welcome to #venomsquad
@@VenomCentral I subscribed before watching this video 😁.. Had a full recovery from the Puffie bite thank you.
I love how the slink around like a caterpillar 🐛.
Great video Thanks. Interesting fact. The puff adders name does not come from the hissing sound it makes. In Afrikaans (Local South African Language) it is called "Pofadder" "Pof" in Afrikaans means to puff up. Like the Puffadders do when confronted. Love your channel
Two of my favorite snakes right here. I think I like the Gaboon the most. Just such a cool looking snake. So strong and are so thick. Almost like a python and Viper cross breed. Too bad the audio is a little off as this is a great video. Maybe a revisit of these 2 3-4 years later in the future? Learn alot from your videos. You and Viperkeeper both do great videos
Gabinos are absolutely beautiful the color's are just amazing 🥰
Well, most dangerous, the puff purely because it has more interactions with people and more land. The gaboon is a more passive snake but it has the most potential to kill if given equal access/coverage. It's just not as likely to willingly strike a person ( without being startles or baited into it).
Gaboon vipers are awesome love em
Puffy is baddest! Happy new year Willy! 🐍
Asking me to choose between bitis species is like choosing a favourite kid, its next to impossible for me and unfair XD - Though i'd have to pick the gaboon if it was down to life or death. Beautiful to look at, the fangs are scary, specially the fact that it can sneek a fang out of the side of its mouth, i just love and respect the bitis as a whole. Puffies, gaboons, gabinos, rhinos, they're all on my bucket list to see in person.
Happy New Yeats to you to always be careful
I think puff adder is most dangerous.
I think Gabon is fast striker . Great video. I do watch viper keeper too..
I watch him to. He is fun to watch and Al started this RUclips snake thing long before anybody else even had channels.
Gaboons look like the pit bulls of the snake world.
If anyone is interested, *Dingo Dinklemen* actually did a video on who has the longest fangs in the snake kingdom. The *Gaboon Viper* of course was going to be the winner till *Dingo* pulled out a *Meshang Viper* and those fangs were actually longer by a inch. The *Meshang Viper* is such a rare snake that people just really never see it.
They’re both a viper species of snake. The reason the puff adder causes more death is because they inhabit more area encounter human more
I feel like the Puff Adder may be slightly more dangerous, but man I just love Gaboon Vipers! Probably my favorite snake!
How unlikely are dry bites from each?
Dry bites occur quite frequently when snakes are in a defensive posture and they understand it's not prey or food. I know several people who have been dry bitten. You have to understand that venom is a precious commodity to these animals and they don't want to waste it on a non prey bite. It takes time for venom gland to rejuvenate. Thanks for watching and sharing your great question! 🐍💪👍🙏
@@VenomCentral I appreciate that. I'm aware that several rattlers dry bite more often than not, whereas a dry bite from a black mamba is nearly unheard of.
I just didn't know with these two and one was curious. Thank you for answering
Mamba's are in a league of their own. In every way. Always mean business, coming at you full throttle, mouth open. Fastest metabolism ever, in constant motion like a great white shark 🦈. Just not a species of special concern and luckily not high on list of snakes needed for venom labs. 🙏 My snakes strike from feeding response and if you ever have watched any of my Fangs in your Face videos, the venom squirts everywhere, even on frozen thawed rodents. They don't know the difference with my feeding techniques and that's good because of their need for Venom in digestion. Appreciate your thoughts!! 🐍👍🙏
Hallo Venomcentral, can't you improve your sound a little bit? I think it's very bad!
Btw, I think Gaboons are the smartest and most adorable of all snakes!
Puff adder is more deadly than Gaboon viper. The puff adder is more widespread, have an irritable tempérament and have a faster striking speed compared to the gaboon.
Puff adder vs federlance venom?
The Gaboon viper is a puff adder that's supersized. Though the Gaboon vipers are usually laidback, they pack the viperine answer to a Gatling gun with bigger fangs and a more massive set of venom glands so they can envenomate their prey.
Puff adders have speed and aggression to back up their venom delivery system and big fangs.
Don't expect a dry bite from either one, though. Dry bites are where a venomous snake bites you but no venom is injected.
Adult vipers usually have greater control over their venom delivery systems than baby vipers and younger vipers.
The puff adder is the one that bit Kim Basinger's son in the famous movie, "I Dreamed of Africa." He was extremely foolish and ignored his mother's warning to keep only non-poisonous snakes. He took a minute to take his glove off and the adder bit him very fast.
Gabon is faster.
Puff is more dangerous.
Loved the video.

Kunal , I would like to thank you for the support you are showing our channel. Welcome to the #venomsquad family. Keep a close ear on the next video.
LOVE THOSE GABOONS 💕💞💗MY FAVORITE SNAKE
Ran into a Puff Adder in Namibia. It was a young one about 18 inches. I never heard him but my PH did and warned me.
Work on the sound big brother. Lots of love!
It is correct now!! Check out some of the new videos. We got a new mic system. Thanks for watching.
Do you sell any of the babies of those animals?
