The more your channel grows, its inevitable that more uneducated statements will be regurgitated over and over again because of sheer ignorance.
I love how people who’ve never owned a snake have an opinion on this
They borrowed the snake from God. No one owns anything
I've never owned a snake so my opinion is to listen to people with more knowledge and experience than myself.
@@assedchap Didnt God technically give the earth to man and made man the caretaker thereof? So technically people can own an animal, but it's a gift to us, not something of our own.
@@berno8535 touchè
but if he is the owner of us and we are the owner of snek he technically owns the snek. Once it's time to call in all the debts and liquidate all assets- whatever we did to the snek we were really doing to ourselves. I feel bad sometimes for eating meat but people who are vegetarian seem to be lacking essential components of the brain. Less thinking more maniacal and passive aggressive hazard I dont know if the answer is very simple lol even tho Jesus said his burden is easy and his yoke is light. Animals will be born and live. So long as we dont make things go extinct and end up in the pit uploaded into a literal eternal hellscape like being a pokemon shut up in a PC box pain for all eternity. That's what the devil wants for us I think.
@@assedchap God doesn't exist my friend, don't steal evolution's credit. Whoever is the legal owner of a snake owns it, period. No "God" involved.
I’ll take Kevin and NERDs opinion over so called ‘experts’ any freakin day! ❤️🐊🦖🦎🐢🐍
Jeremy: *pretends to bite a snake for a thumbnail*
Kevin: *casually eats snake skin like a chip*
This is hilarious
I dont get why people try to specifically invent damage or harm to project onto animals that are clearly fine and have obvious reactions if you do hurt them
Bc most of society is nothing but pussified asshat's that have the personality of a fart in church.
This is like- Don't brush your cat and dog, it hurts them :D
@@housearea Its like when people are against shearing sheep because they think it hurts, like hell no its literally a haircut
@@pugglebiscuit9600 a woman I follow on here had her shearing video banned on IG bc it contained "sensitive content that mybe considered offensive"!! No lie....her name is Sandy Brock and she posted the video about 4 days ago. Insane!!
@@mercswifejl Some people really are crazy, if a sheep isn't shorn they'll have a much higher chance of dying from heat and infections, or have lasting damage from tearing skin from mats and going blind from the wool getting in their eyes. I feel like anyone that does basic research into it would know that, but even with all the technology and knowledge we have they just see a sheep being picked up and consider it "abuse" without questioning whats happening.
“Barczyk doesn’t do that s**t!”
NGL, I laughed way too hard at that.
😁😂🤣
I love how Kevin is so willing to tell people they are wrong and so unapologetic about it.
I only assist my snake when she doesn’t shed completely by herself. I will let her soak for about 15-20 minutes then let her run through my hand. She actually loves when I help her. I never pull dry shed off her, only after she has soaked for a while. It usually comes off pretty easily after a good soak.
Lol arent snakes cold blooded that could make the snake get cold and uncomfortable or die I'd bet
@@assedchap No...You're supposed to do it in warm water (warm to them, not us) And snakes will do it on their own too. They're not so delicate that a quick bath in 80° water is going to do lasting damage.
@@assedchap lol
James Wiltzen ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?
Try bumping your humidity so it's not necessary to soak at all. Other than that good on your for taking care of it at least. Assist shedding saves them a lot of time on finding ways to peel it off
I have assist shed many times. A few actually act like they are relieved. As soon as I start the removal of the shed they start moving as if they know it's ready to remove. People are ignorant. Saying things like I have heard your not supposed to do that. Why are you doing that with your 30+ years experience? I swear people kill me .... so negative!!! Great comeback video guys!!!! Keep it real
Mine did that too. First shed I wasn't prepared. So I gave him a bath and removed the rest myself. Such a trooper! He was so good about it (it took a long time. It was bad). He definitely moved around to bits that still has shed.
And don't worry. He's had a perfect shed ever since.
Jeremy did a great job explaining why assisted shedding is no big deal! Some people really need to relax.
When a snake is shedding its like its taking off a tight sock after a long day. its relieving and helping it (once its already started the shed) won't harm it at all.
One day my brother Loki changed to a snake and he knows how I love snakes so when I picked him up he scared me "its me loki"
Exactly. I dont even have a snake and I know this stuff but people like to freak out over nothing.
@@musician200X yep
My normal girl LOVES it when I help her shed, she actively pushes against my hand and even seems to scratch herself on me for itchy spots. Assisting a snake that is actively shedding or has stuck shed definitely doesn't hurt them, people who think that clearly haven't observed their own snakes enough.
Aww! So cute!
I love Donny asked Kevin if he did hot yoga and Kevin was like 🤨
Thank you guys for taking such good care of your snakes. So many collectors/ caretakers I see have awful set ups and such little regard for the animal aside from its beauty. They’re not just eye candy.
Stay awesome!
HOW DARE YOU HURT THAT SNAKE!!! LOOK AT HOW MUCH ITS REACTING TO YOU HELP IT OUT! THE SNAKE IS IN PAIN YOU CAN TELL BY THE WAY ITS MOVING SO CALMLY!
It's not moving cuz it's in shock from the pain.
😘
Ohhhh, Kevin 😂. I love listening to Jeremy. You can tell that he was a teacher. Professor in a smart ass shirt 😅
Back in the 90's I had a rescued BP named Lucy. Because of where we lived her sheds would be great one time and not so great the next. If she had stuck shed, she would sit perfectly still as I pealed the dead skin off, as though she liked me doing it, LOL. She really wouldn't move while I was doing it. Once I stopped then she'd start moving about again.
Although I rescued her from horrible living conditions (an RI that nearly k*lled her) she was so forgiving and was such a sweet, sweet girl. She changed a lot of hearts & minds about snakes.
My ball python, Merlin, enjoyed watching this video with me. He wants everyone to know that his last shed was stuck and mom put him in a comfortably warm bathtub (about an inch or two of water) and let him slither around in her hands. Pretty soon that stuck shed came off without having to be pulled or picked off at all :)
Watching this while eating and actually choked on my food laughing when Keven at the shed. lol I lost it
Could you imagine if humans had shed cycles like snakes? I can see the SNL skit now...
Kathy: "Hey Carl, have you noticed how Peggy has been a little grumpy lately?"
Carl: "Oh I know! And for some reason, her desk is surrounded by humidifiers. It feels like a jungle in here!"
Seth: "Well you know, she is starting her shed cycle right now. I think we need to just give her some space."
Camera pans over to Peggy's desk where she's seen sitting behind a large rock desk- arms and neck all stiff. A coworker comes by to ask her if she wants to have coffee and Peggy hisses at them. X-D LOL
Is it too much?
Kevin: **Tinklebaum Voice** "That's why I like CUBAN NIGHT ANOLES."
Donny: "What?"
(video abruptly ends)
TBF I heard human dinosaurs instead of Cuban night anoles - we need to get NERD some mics so we can hear Kevin's rants in glorious technicolor 😂
This is way I hate social media groups there always seems to be a bunch of know it alls. Even though your doing exactly what breeders like Kevin told you how to do it. I listen to people like Kevin only.
Marshall Feltz Still take breeders’ advice with a grain of salt sometimes. They financially benefit off these animals as livestock, after all. They’ll defend some practices that aren’t necessarily ethical to the grave from time to time to defend their livelihood.
I also like that Kevin is wearing a shiny new shirt. Not that I don’t like his 10 year old cuts offs and black tanks tops but it’s exciting where he wears newer stuff:)
Also another trick for more, tricky shed is putting them in a damp pillowcase which has a damp cloth laid out in it, put that in a tub with lid with half an inch of warm water in the tub, works a charm
this video made me giggle whether it was with you guys talking and your humor or with peoples ignorance of things they know nothing off but feel the need to lecture about what is right and wrong.
I can't stand when people that own only one to a few snakes think they know it all and try to tell people that's been doing it for decades "they are wrong" smh. Don't get me wrong there are some breeders and animal keepers that shouldn't be doing it or giving advise. But to help a snake shed that is fully shedding and your just helping it by hold the dead skin while it moves out of it how is that hurting a snake smh!! I swear people just like drama!!
The only argument against it, that I have heard, is that those snake shedding videos are dangerous because uninformed people could see that and do it when their snake isn't fully ready to shed. None of the people I saw discussing this said that it's a problem when the skin is ready to come off. To me this just seems like NERD is making a mountain out of a molehill tbh. I also don't understand why they have to be so arrogant about something that obviously wasn't malicious.
@Lisa Mo
But only an idiot would do something that they don’t know how to do.
Not only that, but NERD was getting copious amounts of hate and whiney comments because of heroin addict pet hoarder Taylor Nicole dean who was saying that helping all snakes shed is bad. Therefore her little minion army who follow around a little girl who doesn’t even have a quarter’s worth of experience in comparison to NERD unleashed on NERD. So if you had seen all the obnoxiously ignorant comments they received you would see that they’re justified in making this video and mentioning that they actually HAVE the experience to back up those claims. I don’t think they’re being arrogant I think they’re frustrated that some little addict girl’s channel of minions think they know better than someone who has thousands of snakes and years upon years of experience. (Oh and before anyone says no she’s not a heroin addict! She admitted it herself on her own channel)
Lighsadra S I agree with you but being a heroin Addict shouldn’t be what you focus on ( I’ve been clean 5 years now but am a recovering addict) the part that you should’ve emphasized was the ANIMAL HOARDER part... that alone says a lot
I have a pile of my snake's shed skins, every once and a while I'll get to assist one of my snakes while it sheds and it doesn't bother my snakes at all as far as I can tell. Usually they shed at night though since most of my animals are ball pythons and they are cryptic so I'll usually find the shed in the morning when I'm doing visual inspections. All of these people acting like snakes need to be treated like hemophiliacs with tissue paper skin are clearly misinformed. I'm not talking about using your snake as a jump rope but on every video where the person is simply keeping the animal from falling off the viewing surface by lightly tapping the snakes head causes people to mouth poop their uneducated accusations.
Tell that Taylor nicole🙄😂😂
That girl should only have stuffed animals bought from the toy store
I saw that video too, but I do have to agree with one thing some of the videos on there and that I’ve seen on my own.. are people basically peeling not very loose shed off (I’ve seen people almost pull new skin/scales off) not assisting both are very different things...
But I’m okay with assisting of course I’ve done it a few times but not ripping off barely loosened skin as I’ve seen a acouple times
I love how informative your videos are! Also, the sarcasm shirt is amazing.
The madman actually ate snake skin.
YUCK!!! Snake skin is NOT good enough to Eat!
@@karyannfontaine8757 its too good to eat
Keep doing what you're doing, this channel is great. The internet has created to many "experts", and most of them are clueless and lack the hands on knowledge you and your staff possess.
Your volumes are much more polished now days vs this, good progress, always good videos.
Gods, I just love Kevin and how he tells it as it is.
I wish I could make this compulsory viewing for every person that keeps reptiles.
Thank you guys for posting these awesome videos!! Your channel is awesome!!
In the wise words of Sir Mix-a-Lot: "I like big sheds and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny"!!
I didn't know about nostril scales. Cool! Love the education your channel provides! Keep up the great work!
This dude is funny. Video is informative. Love watching him lol.
This is like when a person sees a uromastyx enclosure without a water bowl and they go insane that you are abusing this animal because it doesn't have water.
Kevin:
Eats Snake Skin
Gets Knocked Over Backwards on Bench
Gets Idea: Who needs drugs, lets sell snake skins for a billion dollars an oz!
Chris Hardwick - I've seen you eat eggs my man . - donny
💪
Kids be doing bath salts and tide pods I believe they will eat,snort and possibly smoke snake shed probably say it gets them high 😁😂🤣
I love these informational videos from you guys.
I knew it! Thank you guys so much for this video! My speculations were just confirmed. Keep up the amazing work!
I love the nerd videos. My 12 yo daughter loves animals of all kinds. She asks so many questions about care and all that. I have referred her to nerd videos. Thanks for helping me to educate my kid!!!
I loved when Kevin said, "why is this even a video?"...Because some people don't care to research on what they're complaining about lol
I'm sure this has been said over and over but I'm saying it again! You guys are awesome!
Could you guys do a video on snake sicknesses and how you guys deal with them? Like a Respiratory infection and what not? I feel like y'all would have amazing info on treating these issues :D
I have a small Florida king and I was holding the snake and it started pushing its head into my fingers very hard. Bending it neck hard and I was starting to think something neurological was occurring. After a few mins it broke its skin on head and used my hand and fingers to shed its skin. It was a beautiful experience. I felt very close to this animal and felt very special the snake felt comfortable enuf to be vulnerable with me and share this intimate moment. I love my snakes. All snakes. ❤
I have a baby Bally Python who was a rescue I got from the pet store I work at she’s very shy and barely comes out for water and during her sheds her skin will be ready to peel but she’s too nervous to come out and work off the skin leaving it for days-weeks. In those cases I’ll soak her to hydrate it and try to peel some of the looser skin to encourage her to want to shed her skin and it works. She doesn’t show any signs of pain, never tried to bite or anything. She seems to enjoys it and the good experiences helped her open up more and be less shy.
Ball pythons ball pythons we need your fing money you need our fing snakes I watched that part of that last vlog about 10 times I laughed so hard every time
Great video loved it funniest thing I’ve seen in a while and does this apply to lizards and monitors as well just wondering. Plus liked your T-shirt brilliant but true lol
What I imagine helping snakes shed feels like to a snake: 😌 "Thank u freind." 'gets a really good backscratch.'
I love your channel so much lol. You guys are awesome!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! I LEARN SOOOO MUCH. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
i've assisted my sand boa in shedding like this before and he will absolutely flail around and bite me when he's upset. when he was calm and showed no issue, i knew that doing this was okay. i defiantly prefer leaving the shedding to the snake and the humid hide tho because i like to give them their privacy
It’s all because of Taylor Nicole dean speeding false information
Pet tubers suck. I really can't stand her.
I would never trust the pet advice of a known heroin addict who collects pets for them to die...if it’s a pet she isn’t super enthusiastic about after the first week or so, that pet is going to die. I’m astounded that anyone would trust the information of a little girl who’s killed so many animals in her “care” whenever they die she claims they’ve been rehomed or makes up some excuse like the heating pads fried them. I don’t believe that for a second. People have even compiled lists of all the pets she’s killed.
@@areyoumadbroxd6861 I'm a ex heroin addict and im a snake keeper. I rehomed all of my snakes before going to treatment for the last time i went they where all healthy. There are responsible ex junkie little girls out there that do the right things. 👍
@Kylee Rose
Awe, I am happy for you! Truly! Shows you cared enough to have done what was best for the animals! Unfortunately that was NOT the case with Taylor Nicole Dean. Many, many of her animals died during the peak of her habit. So good on you for doing what’s right and getting yourself help. I was in no way shape or form targeting all addicts, FYI. Just Taylor Nicole Dean because she has been exposed for it with much proof...
So how are you doing now, have you kicked your habit and gotten your pets now?
@@RN-on4yn you fucking human trash
North Centeral Ohio in the winter is like hell you wont find any humidity here.
Hi kevin.
I laughed HARD ....
COFFEE spat out ..... now need another cup❤🤗🤣☕
Love the videos, keep it up.
Kevin: which one....munch
Me: wtf yes!!!!
I enjoy NERDs content! You guys have great info not only coming ftom someone who watches the videos but a customer too pretty soon repeat customer the animals are great
This vid is actually very helpful bc my first ever snake is mostly cleanly shed but it's still stuck to his lower body/tail. I found his eye caps! I was way too excited. I'm going to make a pendant necklace with his shed like Emily from Snake Discovery did. Anyway, thanks guys!
Do you have a link to that? That sounds so neat!
U guys are the best animal keepers I’ve seen on RUclips
Education aside. The hilarity of this made the end of a 13hr work day better. Thanks NERD.
The music with the comments you guys i cant deal 😂😂😂😂
I have learned so much from this channel but I really love when you out all of the idiots! Keep it up because there is so much misinformation.
Kevin and his staff OBVIOUSLY love and respect their animals. I can't imagine them doing anything that would harm their reptile children. They are professionals and they know what they are doing.
I used to pull the shed out of my Bearded Dragons nostrils (RIP). I could tell when it was ready when it was ready to come out when I could put my finger nails under the circle and lift it. The piece of skin attached was always super long and he seemed sooo relieved 😌
He ate the fricken skin! Sending prayers for survival health 😂
Great ACCURATE content guys❤🐍🐍❤
You guys are hilarious! Would be the best job ever! 🤘
Jeremys ADHD level before Kevin entered: 110%
Jeremys ADHD level after Kevin joined the action: 0.5%
Good job Donny and Jeremy
I have definitely taken a small piece of shed off on my ball python when the rest of the shed came off. You can clearly see the difference between a snake that just started to go into blue and has completed the shed with a few stragglers. No harm in helping.
I wood LOVE too see the OUTTAKES!!!
Donny puts the on his channel - ruclips.net/user/donnyrapture
I can't believe you guys did this! To a spider too, unbelievable!!!! lol Great stuff as always!!
Never underestimate the stupidity of the general population! Keep up the good work!!
I love your sarcasm shirt, lol!
I love your content donny and I love Kevin's attitude. About the snake shedding, do you not think there would be a lot more squirming or even a nip or 2. They're in captivity so they can get stuck sheds eye caps you name it. I was terrified of snakes a year ago and I've been thinking about getting lil ball
People always make their own issues with animals it's insane..and you should they are definitely wonderful animals especially when finding a feisty snake that you can work with..what state are you From? Not trying to be creepy either
You should!! I had ball and Burmese in the past. They are wonderful!!! Just do ur research.....which I'm sure you would lol.
I'm from Canada..Ontario to be exact.. but I'm not joking my mom was shocked when I was watching vids that's how scared I used to be... so when I told her I'm learning everything I can because someday I want 1. She died she was so happy
@@nailedbyjen8317 Wow! YOU GO GURL!! That's really awesome Jen!!
What a crazy world we live in, where you've got Instagram and youtube experts trying to correct a man who's had more success and experience in the reptile world than they've had in their whole life hahaha.
Awesome video
Kevin is my spirit animal lol
The last thing I recommend is pissing off a snake while holding it. Any time I’ve had to assist a shed, snakes like thanks for helping a brother out.
I love you Kevin!!
My snakes love for me to help them shed, especially my biggest female. It's like a massage to them. They rub against my hand the same way a dog or cat does when it wants to be scratched. Sometimes I rub vitamin E on them and it loosens up the skin.
Stuck shed can also become hardened if left that way too long and then it can be really hard to get off.
I had to assist my sand boa shed last night. He had started to shed but it wasn't coming off correctly, soak in tub some light rubbing and he was all better
I have that same sarcasm shirt. Love it!
I hope Jeremy is kept away from toddlers as much as possible. Lol dude great video.
Love the Sarcasm shirt!
Thumbnail was 10/10
I have a rescue ball python, even I first got her she had a ton of stuck shed and both stuck eyecaps (luckily she didn't go blind) and a light (to high of watts and wasn't meant for a snake) was cooking her alive. I've had a for a few months and she's had 2 sheds with me, I give her a lot of humidity, she has both a deep water dish and a humidity box, yet she still gets some stuck shed, but her last shed she only had one stuck piece.
Yay! I needed a good rat supplier 👍
If only we had other reptile channels to watch.....lmao
Hello! I'm not a reptile keeper or anything but I've come because of the commotion about helping shedding. So you CAN help snakes shed after they start? Where did the idea come about that you can't do that? Can you touch snakes before they are ready to shed? I googled and it seems that you can't but I'm very confused now.
My python LOVED playing in the bath
I love NERDz cuz you do help ur snakes shed! Once again thank you for educating all these uneducated people! 🐍 (BALL PYTHONS!!!)
What? These people are flat earthers too I'm sure!
BWAHAHAHAHA-!!!!!!!!!!
My one ball had a stuck eye cap and she actually worked hard to remove it on my hand by herself.
This video made me subscribe!
Is there a link to the shed video? I'd love to see that
Me too
😁 Really great video, amusing and fun .
I find it very interesting and informative. Not that I am going to keep snakes. But I am learning
Question about the A&P lesson from Kevin. Do snakes have serous fluid, (that's what this nurse is calling it), or what Kevin called "sticky" & "very protein", between their skins when they're opaque, or is there a serous membrane under the good new skin when they're not in shed, or both?
Celeste they build a new layer beneath the old one Not a membrane but a skin being built.
Just while they're in shed as far as I am aware. They secrete the fluid which is what actually makes them opaque or blue, which loosens the old skin while "preparing" the new skin layer and once it is ready the old layer peels off. That's roughly how I understand it anyway, but I'm no Kevin 😂
Does it make your snake mad moving your hands around fast around them it seemed like it was well temper
