I love harmless snakes, but I am terrified of all things venomous, whether it's particularly deadly or not! That's why I love huge boa constrictors, but if you threaten to put a house spider on me, I nearly piss myself lmao. Takes all kinds! Glad you're here tho. 😊
I always love your videos. You are a very responsible venomous snake handler, and that’s really great!! And you always put a little humor into your videos. Just awesome.
I'm no expert, but ... well, I _do_ watch a broad selection of snake videos on this platform, and that was an outstanding one. It was definitely well organized and professionally presented, discussing a wide variety of snakes and demonstrating solid handling technique throughout. Nicely done!
There's also the pupils starting to dilate. I've seen that with other gaboons owned by other keepers here on youtube, their pupils tend to start to slowly dilate as they prepare to strike. Fairly subtle on Gabby here but for others their pupils become super-huge.
I noticed Gabby's pupil dilating as soon as that mouse set foot in her cage. 😂 I knew what was coming, but I still got jump-scared by that fierce strike. By the way, I am so glad you are introducing the venomous herp hobby to the younger generation! Thank you for that!
"I actually despise you with every fibre of my being too buddy" - Joey, but also every Rinkhals keeper I've ever met as well 😂 our South African sneks a bit too feisty for y'all? Because fair enough we're terrified of Rinkhals snakes here too 😂 and Puff Adders. Joey! Get a Puff Adder!
I made a list of Joey’s snakes. If I missed anyone pls comment! 1. Shelby the cobra 2. Hillary the cobra 3. Steve the cobra 4. Gabby the Gaboon viper 5. John Cena the Mangshan viper 6. Lucifer the Rinkhals cobra 7. Darnell the cobra 8. Techno Blade the rattlesnake 9. Kraity Perry the red krait 10. Baggage Claim the inland taipan 11. Linda the cotton head viper 12. Jack the Halloween viper (Cantil) 13. Death adder 14. Red spotted pit viper 15. Variable Bush viper 16. Blue insularis 17. Yellow insularis 18. Green insularis 19. Eyelash viper 20. Boomslang 21. Brazilian lance head 22. Sand viper 23. Rat snake Edit: 24. Parrot snake (belligerent zip tie) 25. Vine snake (judgmental shoelace)
As a hybrid, is the Cottonhead able to breed? I love this channel, you have a lovely level of sarcasm and humor paired with a fascinating knowledge of snakes.
The red headed krait is the second rarest snake in the usa. The rarest snake is the inland taipan that Jeffrey liebowitz trained to cuddle with him like a pussy cat.
I am 52 years old and my dad had all girls so he taught us to be tough..He also taught us to respect animals don't bother it it will not bother you I love the respect you have for them the love and care you take with them...They are beautiful
New subscriber. I really enjoy your channel, you have some beautiful snakes. I like snakes but I will admit the venomous ones really scare me. I have a baby hognose snake and its all I can handle. Keep putting the humor in your videos especially when your talking to your snakes.
Nice video snd wishing you all the best moving. Alot of interesting facts too. One thing I learned about was the African twig snake. But i thought you were going to say the medically significant venomous colubrids were the boomslang and keelback snakes for sure! (venomous snd poisonous!) Just in case anyone is wondering, things like the garter snake snd the hognoses, actually have venom to some degree, but it requires chewing on you with the rear fangs and would maybe cause a little local ichiness or msybe a pink mark. A fasicnating story is the acientist who journaled after taking a boomslang bite snd he thought the bite wouldn't be a big deal since it was just known to be a rear fanged colubrid. They had no idea how dangerous they really were, and you can read how he goes from super confident to realizing hes stuck in a very bad situation and just keeps Journaling everyrhing for science.
My Rainbow Boa pulled Kraity Perry last night when I fed him. Dangled mouse in front of log, head came out, grabbed mousie, then back into his "lair" to eat it haha. The week before my kingsnake made a pinky disappear instantly, head shot out of log, grabbed pinky went back into log in a split second haha.
What a beautiful rinkhals. I have a soft spot for them. The first snake I ever caught where I grew up in South Africa, was a baby rinkhals. I was 12 yrs old. It got me started on a decades long love of catching and keeping snakes.
Three curiosity questions-- 1--Do you normally feed them all on the same day? 2--How long does it take you to feed, prep time, doing it and clean up? 3--how much does it cost to keep them fed?
Male boomslangs can be solid bright green, rust-red, or a combination of black and yellow. Females are usually dull olive-brown or gray. Boomslang hatchlings are gray with large emerald green eyes. When they reach about one meter in length, boomslangs change to the colors of the adult. Boomslangs can be leaf-green, bright green, black, brick-red, or rust-red, depending on their environment.
So my wife is the veterinarian for Phoenix Herpetology Sanctuary and it honestly freaks me out how she has to work with venomous reptiles and then giant reptiles… But after watching you feed your snakes, just opening the whole enclosure and letting them jump out… well I’m not too worried about my wife. Cause I know she is not doing wild shit like you 😂said
Johnny was s beautiful snake. I think that it's interesting that a lot of people don't think the Garter snakes and Hognose snakes are venomous.. not medically bad.. but it think it s neat.
Serious question, how do you clean up their enclosures? Like spot cleaning if they've done a shite? Or even just getting their water bowls out? Do you remove them to do this? Reason I ask is all my snakes are non venomous and I just shove my hand in to clean up etc and most of them are fine, but my carpet python and kingsnake always see the fingers and think they're food so lunge for them. Doesn't matter if they tag me but always wondered about venomous keepers negating this
Hey Joey. Ive noticed your feeding your snakes when they are going into shed. I definitely know you have a lot of experience with snakes, but i still wanted to comment you this because maybe you dont know about it. Feeding when the snake is sheeding is not recommended because the digestions needs a lot of water, which is also needed for shedding. Therefore it can result in regurgitation or a bad shed. As a boa c. c. (surinam) owner it is crucial, because they love to regurgitate as babys. Just wanted to point it out to you, but if it works for you: Never change a running system :)
Maybe it differs by species. Maybe the ones that need higher humidity shouldnt be fed while shedding. I feed my north american rat snake during shed and he has no problems, and he only needs medium humidity
Baggage Claim is the best name. Genuine question, why venomous snakes? Do you have any other Australian snakes eg red bellied black, eastern brown? I’m very scared of snakes so watching your channel is challenging and interesting.
Have you considered providing IR-A and IR-B for your boomslangs? That is something they would normally get from the Sun, so maybe experiment with that if you ever get a new boomslang. You can provide that with a deep heat projector. I use the Arcadia ones for my snakes, they work great!
Where do you get enclosures like that? they look so nice... I want to keep non venomous snakes and i really like how those cages work. I really want to breed snakes one day.
I live in Australia snakes are no joke. I almost stepped on an eastern brown snake the 2nd most venomous when walking through tall grass. My heart stopped and sank. 😂
Anyone else notice the Gaboon Viper’s pupils grow extremely wide right before she struck? I think that was her cue that she clocked it was food and was preparing to strike.
What's your protocol for dealing with venom on your equipment, clothes or skin? How do you balance that with the necessities of venomous snake handling? I imagine if you are holding a snake that spit venom at you, you can't just drop it and wash you skin/clothes off.
I dont own one, but from what ive seen, they usually will put the snake away properly asap before washing it off. Probably increases risk of developing an allergic reaction
1.) Not what I expected you to look like? Idk I imagined just a bodyless voice or something. 2.) Idk why I love those folding out teethers so cute and and safe but cute.
Snakes don't have to eat often and that snake in specific probably ranged around 25-50 dollars is may also be a local breeder that he buys from but it dont think it's too much
You giving Kraity Perry a snake diet is what is probably keeping her alive versus past keepers trying rodents.
Isn’t it Kraty Perry?
@@highjinx6519well it's a krait you see
@@StonedtotheBones13 I know I spelled it wrong but they edited their comment because it didn’t have Kraity at first.
@@highjinx6519 I didn't realize that spellcheck changed it when I posted so fixed it when I noticed it later. 😆
@@highjinx6519naw it's Katy perry (sorry I'm just stupid :3)
im terrified of snakes but im obsessed with this channel. i love all the information you provide and im so glad they’re so well cared for.

“Whats up fellow humans!”
You sure about that bud?
Deadpan look at the camera, followed by "I hate spitters" absolutely sent me 26:00
"Your being very cringe" lol
I'll never get tired of inland taipan jokes
"One of the most cringe snakes to get bit by"
Reason 100000 why I love this channel
I always love your videos. You are a very responsible venomous snake handler, and that’s really great!! And you always put a little humor into your videos. Just awesome.
Yea he really treats them with the respect they deserve.

Your Gaboon hissing reminded me if my juvenile that finally began hissing when offered food. My favorite snake in the genre
I love the sweet, loving voice with which you say "I d espise you, too." Is very obvious you don't
The gaboon head tilt was visible from our angle!
I was about to say but yeah, It's funny him calling out her strike queue and then immediately missing it.😂
Yeah, it was extremely subtle tho
There's also the pupils starting to dilate. I've seen that with other gaboons owned by other keepers here on youtube, their pupils tend to start to slowly dilate as they prepare to strike. Fairly subtle on Gabby here but for others their pupils become super-huge.
I missed it lol
Didn’t see it

I just love how verbally and visually animated this guy is! The snakes 🐍 are cool too!
Gaboon vipers make me think of big chunky cats. For me they are absolutely beautiful. I would never own one though. ❤ But always willing to watch!
Their pattern reminds me of an intricate oriental rug. Artwork crafted by nature. Absolutely gorgeous!

But why do they keep them then?!?
@@highjinx6519cause just bc you fear smthn doesn't mean it doesn't have worth. They don't have ill intent, they're just animals.
The spit snake spitting three times insted of taking the mouse and joeys got me chuckling for myself here

Rapidly becoming my favorite channel ! 🐍
RIP Dingo
This was so entertaining! Time flew by for me. Thanks so much for sharing this aspect of their care.
Dude you have to become a show presenter 😄 I just love the way you talk.
I could listen to you all the time 😂❤ you, Tyler and Chandler make the world better ❤
This video was so fascinating and educational. Snakes are amazing, even the cringe ones! I love this channel so much. 🐍❤
Those are such beautiful snakes! The venomous ones are the best 🐍🫶 your brave for having them and feasting them 😮
The Browns helmet is the scariest thing in that room. Awesome video, as always!
As a hybrid, is the Cottonhead able to breed?
I love this channel, you have a lovely level of sarcasm and humor paired with a fascinating knowledge of snakes.
I feel like if I ever went to a reptile convention, you should have a table giving autographs.

Really loved how that cobra just came out her containment to nip at her food, then goes back to her spot after biting it. Kinda cute
"or she'll just sit there being cr....ok" "next up we have"
That spitting cobra has a lot of attitude 😂
New subscriber. I really enjoy your channel, you have some beautiful snakes. I like snakes but I will admit the venomous ones really scare me. I have a baby hognose snake and its all I can handle. Keep putting the humor in your videos especially when your talking to your snakes.
9:14 literally while the boomslang is outside of the cage dude. Impeccably comic timing.
Taylor’s Cantil will remain one of my absolute favourites, so chunky, and drawing their scales is such an interesting challenge
Why is it so funny to hear venomous snakes get called cringe
I’m convinced most of your viewers are snakes themselves
I've never seen a snake sulk before. That made me laugh. Thanks for the cool video
Amazing collection.
Your knowledge of these animals is quite impressive sir.

First Time Subscriber Love Your Content 🎉🎉and I Will Continue Watching 👀 Your Videos 📹 😊😊
A football helmet on a plinth, a toilet and a over a dozen snake enclosures. Kind of a weird vibe in that specific part of the house mate.
Can you do a long form video with the bright blue snake 🩵 you have please? And the yellow one with eye lashes 💛
Kraity Perry is my favorite.
I’m so glad my spicy boy Lucifer as the finale.
*hungry snake slithers halfway out of enclosure*
Steve:"Where ya ' goin'?"
Me: runs backwards, out of town, across country 🙂↔️ 💨
I love the names they have 😂, is there any story behind them?
Show more of the gaboon viper 💯
Three curiosity questions-- 1--Do you normally feed them all on the same day? 2--How long does it take you to feed, prep time, doing it and clean up? 3--how much does it cost to keep them fed?
My eyes opened wide and I felt a jolt in my limbs when the death adder struck. Pretty terrifying speed.

@@toad5545 Some species are more prone to this than others. Corn snakes dont care aswell.
Most of my snakes will not eat just before going into shed. I always feed 2 days after they shed but it depends on the genus really

You need longer tongs! Your snakes are able to get a hold of your hand at that length.
