Touring MToxins- Wisconsin's Venom Lab!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2020
- Today we were graciously invited behind-the-scenes for a special tour of MToxins, a brand spankin' new venom lab in Wisconsin! This place really does it all, from snakes to scorpions to gila monsters! Watch and learn about the extraction process, venom production, and more in this special video!
Does anyone else just feel terrible for the copperhead with a deformed head due to her botched "venom removal" surgery? The poor thing! She certainly pulled at our heart strings!

When he said the tarantula gets so upset when it wakes up that it starts eating immediately.. I feel that
Hahaha lol
they hangry
I feels that
F my guy
LOL
“If they feel like they’re getting attacked by a predator they’ll bite”
The guy trying to stimulate big boi: TICKLE TICKLE TICKLE
200th like!
I would bite if someone was tickling me but it wouldn't be a poisonous bite it would be a bite that's ripping out their throat
O h n o
Yuck
Lol
Megan: "He has a particular disdain for Nate and i"
King Cobra: *Stares with murderous intent*
“I’ll end you, your family, and your friends in one go. I have the venom.”
Thats the look of someone with two guns in his mouth and NO restraint to use them.
If someone's interested the timestamp is 15:01
Meow
Them: He has a particular disdain for Nate and I…
Cobra: 🗿
Tarantula: "I am pissed but i eat because i am so angry"
It’s a mood

EHHEHEHHEHEHHEH, FINALLLYYYYY SOMEBODY LIKED MY COMMENT.
I'm a neuroscientist, and I am incredibly impressed by their facilities, procedures, and sterility. These are *proper* scientists. 👏👩🔬👨🔬
I'm not a scientist but have some education but I agree wholeheartedly. Amazing!
@thistubeisfucked If I can, sure!
be a lot nicer if they had better enclosures but eh
They seem like such great people! Thank god places like this exist so keeping hot can still happen safely and doctors can save so many people.
@@KeeliaSilvis I just want to have a tiny bit of your extra brain cells lol. No idea what you just said but I'm always super impressed with highly intelligent people. I'm not a dumb person but I know my limits 😆
I’m really happy places like this exist. The animals are treated correctly and their venom is used to help people and possibly find cures for other medical problems
246kisses I mean I would not say treated correctly I would love to see there tubs set up like Emily’s but I understand why they don’t coz of hygiene
Bevan Darke I don't know if you have heard the phrase "how the sausage gets made", but most things we enjoy in life have a not-so-pleasant aspect to their production, anti-venom included. This facility looked about as ethical as it possibly can be.
The horses injected with venom would probably prefer not to be, but I am comfortable with that knowing how many lives are saved after their temporary discomfort. I guess some people are just too sensitive to see "how the sausage gets made". Unless of course you think we shouldn't produce anti-venom? Or really any medical treatments, which have to go through animal trials to be approved for human use.
Yep you should respect sanke
Gia Barrone I have heard of that saying and an animal product that I use I know how the animal was treated and killed coz it was from family and friends
Also compare raising a sheep or cow to this is dumb livestock is killed for meat in the first 12 to 24 months sometime sooner these snakes live this way all day everyday for decades the least the could do is rotate them so for 1 year that use these snakes and the other group get to live in nice encloses and then swap them with the ones that where being used to milk
Considering this is basically a medical manufacturing facility (of antivenin), the snakes are all being treated with respect and care and are healthy. And that’s all we can ask for in these kinds of reptile care scenarios. That everyone and everything is as safe and healthy as it can be.
I'm a "tarantula people" and honestly hearing about how they take such care to avoid kind of fighting with it made me really comfortable with the process.
I agree, they treated their trantulas with great respect. I am both a reptile and arachnid lover & keeper. Only venomous snake that I keep is a Plains Hognose. And I currently only have a Mexican red knee and a Brazilian black trantula. You guys do such wonderful work! Thank you.

LMAOOO
The intelligence Megan has about each and every breed....I ADORE IT!
Species^ but yes I agree she’s amazingly knowledgeable!
And cute
Stellanie k me too
knowledge and intelligence are not the same though
Csilla Kaszas I think it’s obvious that she’s both intelligent and knowledgeable ok buddy 💅🏽
I feel so bad for Toothless! And you can tell that Megan is so ANGRY when she is talking about toothless' story and how terrible trying to de-venom a snake is. She is so passionate about it and I am beyond thrilled that Toothless is in a better home now where she is cared for and respected properly!
Me too.
@Audrey Jones I respect Megan And anyone who agrees with her And you. You also have to have a license to keep venomous snake or ANY venomous animal
phoebe lee not everywhere you don’t!!
But u have to do this 😂
this is probably my favourite video to rewatch, from megan's passion for the work they do and the preservation of the species to nate cracking jokes while confidently extracting venom from some of the most dangerous snakes and inverts in the world, to emily and ed's respect to nate and megan as well as their genuine interest in the subject, i love it. honestly a great educational video
You can really tell that both LOVE their job
I love how relaxed that even the snakes are. They know this is their day job. They get on the table and all of their threat displays just relax.
And those lizards that felt so unthreatened, they didn't want to bite their tubes! Just vibing.
Whenever I tell people about my tarantula, they always go “good thing his fangs are removed right?” No actually it’s a good thing that his fangs aren’t removed because I’d like to have a spider that can actually eat and isn’t in pain. Don’t get a venomous animal if you don’t want to deal with the venom
Yeonhee Lee most are like a nasty bee sting unless you’re allergic (although the very rare few can cause more issues like necrosis) so yeah I wouldn’t intentionally let mine bite me but if it is it’s not really a big deal 🤷🏻♀️
@Yeonhee Lee are you telling me those giant fangs don't hurt?
@@punking892 I think they mean like, long term. Obviously it hurts initially to get bitten by any animal.
Tarantula venom is not that potent either so yeah why the fuck would you do that? Good for you for being a humane person (in fact for most species the bite is worse than the venom).
I get the same question but with my snakes. Some people really don't know a lot about snakes, they think every snake is venoms. My poor sweet ball python isn't venoms lol.
"Typically so upset they eat immediately" - I have never related more.
I AGREE!😂
@@tairawatkins8420 theres nothing on their channel?
Couldn’t agree more! 😆
Nice
😂😂😂
Me: "Oh my god, look a scary lizard!"
Staff : "His name is Shane."
Me again: "They really named a scary venomous lizard Shane?"
"There are those that call me...Tim?" 🤣
@@warriormaiden9829 lol
Shane from stardew valley sweats nervously
Gila Monster venom isn’t exactly deadly. It actually just makes the biting victim feel a lot of pain.
In hindsight this is hilarious if you think of a certain RUclipsr...
I love this guy. He is a venom version of Ed
~spicy ed~
I love how they're just joking around as a freaking King Cobra is standing there looking pretty scary
That’s cobra commander
It's good to have humor in dangerous lines of work. Plus, King Cobras are the most precious.
Ngl i think it pretty cute
IKR lol 😂
Mkoch99 : “ as a freaking king cobra is just standing there “
Me : I’m preeeetty sure cobras cannot stand...
these snakes are treated better by their staff than I am at a hospital.
Everyone is nice on camera
L G facts
No joke they are
Damn
L G truly they need too ok be nice sometimes
I never thought I would see a sleepy tarantule get picked up. That was susprisingly adorable
Spider: wakes up from extraction
“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! I need to stress eat :(“
toothless’ story made me so sad. poor girl, it really breaks my heart to hear how mistreated she was. i’m so glad they were able to take her in.
i wonder where hiccup is
Same.
@Aidan O'Shields killing to protect your land is more acceptable than neutering for pleasure. Maybe eat the killed snakes too.
YOOOOOO same
@@jackmiller2328 Maybe he's dead...
I love how the lizards are just so chill. They cared less about belly rubs then my cat
My lizards scratch me lol
Poor toothless 😢 I’m not a snake person, never wanted to own one or anything, but that’s so cruel. No animal should ever be put through that.
Human brain: all these animals are extremely deadly
Monkey brain: pet the scaly doggos and spooder babies
No, its opposite, monkeys are terrified of snakes, its your dumb human brain that thinks theyre cute
@@vasaus you can't compare monkeys to humans so
For real. That king cobra was so scary looking but all I could see is like a Cane Corso as a snake.
pet the babys pet the babys pet the babys
Snakes are our enemies literally..
Our local "reptile zoo" in Monroe, Wa does the whole "this hot species is no longer venomous!" and I KNEW there was a reason I had NEVER heard of responsible keepers (that keep hots) doing that. So sad, glad MToxins and Snake Discovery is putting this important information out! 🐍
Honestly all I remember from their school visits (easily 12-15 years ago now) was the alligator. Oh and the banana python. Because all good reptile zoos have a big banana python to show off.
Yeah, I wish the woodland park zoo’s reptile house didn’t burn down,
Wait what did they do? Do they remove the venom glands of their hots?
That's literally disgusting.
@@aurieamoore5823 Megan gets into it at 8:02 , but the jist is, yeah. Some zoos try removing the venom glands and fangs of hot snakes, but theres a lot of downsides and even dont fufil the original purpose of "de-venoming" a snake. It just brings unnecessary harm to the snake :(
Them: can handle venomous snakes
Me: cries thinking my snake hates me after biting my hand
@@Jaaambb ah yes big brain XD
Well your snake does not love you and never will
Alex Brown What the hell?
Alex Brown but it doesn’t hate either. Inscrutable animals.
@Loren Batchelor I think you mixed @up Alex Brown and @Jadey Jew. 😊😊😊
Nathaniel is the type of guy to be holding an incredibly dangerous and defensive snake and say “it hates me so much” while laughing a bit (that was a sneaky little TF2 reference)
Staff: takes a cobra out
Me: my fren!!
Staff: that’s enough to kill a elephant.
Me: My fren is nice 👍
I lllooovvveee snakes
Lol that king cobra was like "i hate u nate i hate u so much" 😂
This is hands down one of the best videos of all time from this channel.
Hi my name is NATALI and I a.m. your biggest fan I love the snake peanut
When they joke the colbra is freakin funneh 😂😂🤣🤣 and my favorite snakes in this is albino^_^
I agree completely 😂
5:50 i like how she says she's pointing out that she's generalizing (that there could be cases that there's more and some less). It shows her experience in educating regular people. A very small detail, but very educating.
I'm so glad that they're treating the animals with the respect. It's cruel what some facilities do to them these days behind the camera :(
I also love how they make the venom harvesting short as possible as to not irritate or increase the chance of being bit.
Man I could listen to Megan talk all day. Her explanations were so clear, so thorough, and even though there were terms i didn't understand as someone completely new to hearing all this, it was incredibly engaging to listen to. She's fantastic at knowing what she's talking about and it's fascinating to listen to. Just amazing. Great work!
9 minutes in you can see how much restraint she's showing when talking about how cruel it is to deform animals. it made me emotional!
Oh yeah you can literally see her getting angry just thinking about it and you can feel she has a few choice words to say to whoever did that to Toothless
@@HinataElyonToph I have a few choice words to say to them too. If you can't handle a venomous/poisonous species, DON'T *GET* a venomous/poisonous species! Simple as that!
Ikr! I cried!
Know it breaks my heart
No
I love the gila monster. He's just like, whatever dude, you're gonna feed me anyways. 🤣
I’m incredibly protective over any bug I see, but when I saw how much respect they show those inverts, I know they live a happy life
One thing I love about this video and this facility is that the staff here are very knowledgable on what it is they're doing and that they clearly love their job. They seemed more than happy to answer every question you have in a lot of detail, whilst also making whatever it is sound extremely interesting - even down to explaining how the barcodes on their enclosures work. Not to mention the fact that they clearly care about the welfare of the animals - they do as much as they can to reduce stress and keep their animals happy, and I really love how they use rescue animals too. I'd love to visit this facility (or a UK equivilant) someday!
Love how they had a full-on conversation whilst a diamondback just chills on the table 😂😂
Poor Toothless!!! She's such a beautiful snake. I'm so glad MToxins was able to take her in and save her.
Same
@Aspiring Marauder i was thinking that. their cats are probably declawed and their dogs debarked if they have them. people are cruel to animals
It made me so sad seeing that!
It’s just sad . Why would you do any to hurt a sanke when they need eat with their teeth
If you don’t want a snake that can kill you.... don’t get one!!! Drives me nuts.... my mom “loves” cats but she got my cat declawed back when I was away at college 😭 She gets so pissed when they scratch furniture or knock stuff off the table and break it. They’re cats!!! That’s how cats do!!! Don’t like it, don’t get it
I LOVED this. Also, I have to imagine the electric pulse for the spiders is probably equivalent to a human using a tens machine.
Fun fact:
This venom lab opened on my birthday :) It made my day
They opened June 5th!
That absolute unit of a King Cobra was sitting on the table like "Draw me like one of your French Girls."😂
Reminded me of Viperkeeper's king cobra Elvis. He is bigger that this one, makes pythons look short
@@toryknotts8026 Chandler from Chandler's Wildlife has a massive Malaysian KC called Kevin and a smaller female from Indonesia (I don't remember her name right now)
a beaut indeed
Justina, that's her name
Yes!!! He is so regal looking 👑
This is one of my favorite snake discovery ever. Usually snake extractions bother me, but these people are super respectful to the snakes
Snake extractions are needed to make antibodies for us if we get bit by one
@@jackinthebox9730 not even that but so much medication is based on substances found in snake venom.
Hope_World109 that’s true but you should also treat the snake humanely
@@kikivivi8646 I think Melanie is just saying there are people who extract in ways that does not emphasize the snake's health and well being. These people clearly respect and appreciate snakes very much, and are working hard to keep them healthy. I'm grateful.
Kinda sad to see that they keep snakes in a dark drawer though.
It’s so interesting to see how quickly and efficiently everyone there is, they’re definitely a well oiled machine
I just watched this video after the Brave Wilderness one and honestly I don’t know how the guy wasn’t bitten from all of his uncontrolled energy. Thank you so much to the both of you for showing how to handle this process like pros.
I was today years old when I learned that a Red Widow spider was a thing
I used to have to pluck them off my grandads pool netting in Florida. Good times. 😂
So, you're saying that the spiderverse has a lot of widows
Same.
@ORCAS ARE BEST I thought they were called brown recluse

"We try to prevent that from happening ... It's almost like they have a mind of their own." Nate is hilarious haha. And I absolutely love how educated and informed Megan and Nate are, while still being ethical and caring for each animal. Probably one of my most favorite videos from you guys! Next to baby snek hatchings :3
I live in an area with the beautiful copperheads - and seeing that poor girl was upsetting. If you can't own the animal as it is, safely, don't torture it to make it safe for you. Copperheads are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm glad someone is trying to make life liveable for that poor girl. Everyone should love the forbidden hershey kisses snake! Their heads are so pretty - so bright, and metallic out in the wild.
I really liked the documentary. truely amazing. well directed, written... much appreciated. Love from India.

@@ZR_HR-rt6mz oof true
The mandatory foot baths and hand sanitizer, so the snakes don't get poisoned by YOU.
Laurie Penner haha ikr I wonder if you put a snake through a foot bath and use hand sanitizer if it will still be venomous lol
Humans are really the most disgusting of all creatures.
Laurie Penner I support this comment
Any animal related facility should practice good bio-security like this. Our aquarium does the same, washing hands and footbaths.
I did a zookeeper for the day at my local zoo and you had to dip your feet/boots in a dish of water before entering the enclosures.
I am from Oshkosh and have never heard of "MToxins". The next time I am in Oshkosh, hopefully June, 2023, I am going to make it a point to go there. I don't mind handling snakes of all kinds but there is no spider that is going to crawl on me. I love the way the staff handles the snakes and with the intent of not hurting them. Can't wait until I get back to Oshkosh. I am in Tampa, Fl now.
Did you get to go?
I am BLOWN AWAY by the awesomeness of this facility and the extremely smart folks who work there! Wow!!!! Keep up the incredible work!!!
"yeah-absolutely were at their mercy. " The way it should be! A good clean and honest org, sending my support!

Drinking venom most likely wont harm you, It has to be injected
☠️😂😂
I love that u guys genuinely love what you do. Love being on this journey with you guys. Congrats on the Snake Discovery zoo
As a tarantula keeper, I wasn't bothered watching the venom extraction at all! I appreciate that the team seemed to care a great deal about making sure their arachnids were being handled as safely as possible.
Wait why do they collect venom? I didn't get it
For anti venom to slightly counter act the venom of the snakes venom
Shania Chua They extract the venom so that they can make it into anti venom so that if someone gets bitten by a venomous animal that person doesn’t die from that bite. It is better to extract the venom and create an anti venom than have someone be killed by a cause that could be completely prevented.
@@childesimp3725 to save people who cant understand like you
@@childesimp3725 While the venom extracted from the majority of the animals shown will be used to make antivenin, he did state that the tarantula he was handling did not possess venom that was medically relevant. Hence his statement of 'it needs to be studied'. Most likely, it will be used by research facilities that either want to study the effects themselves, or use it in research for something else. Many anticoagulants used in medicine were created by studying snake venom. Who knows what we'll find studying tarantula venom? :)
While the spiders were out my sweatshirt draw string moved across my hand and I just about came out of my skin.
That’s one section I really don’t wanna watch again. The venom extraction of the snakes, on the other hand, I’ve watched about 3 times.
Anything with more than four legs is not my friend. Sorry -- I can deal with lions, sharks, snakes... but spiders? Nuh-uh. No way.
I also have what seems to be arachnophobia
Kris Aaron what about scorpions they have 6+ legs
I felt something crawling down my arm as I was falling asleep tonight... I slapped it! It actually felt hard and twice it's size as I felt it pierce my palm... I found myself standing up next to my bed a small beige now was twitching in!
My palm is burning, my nerves are jangling, but all in all I'm sure I feel far better than crunchy... It does. I'm going to have quite the conversation with God someday about His creation of arachnids... Ish!
As a snake fan and a tarantula owner, this is SO FRIGGIN COOL!!!
My mind is completely blown! Thank you for doing this video; what a extraordinary view behind the scenes!
I have a whole new appreciation for venom extraction labs, and all the time and effort that is spent researching and creating valuable antivenoms. These people are bursting with knowledge and care so much about the task at hand. I’m impressed. Great video! 🐍
What’s up Amanda your cute

Such an amazing and educational RUclips video. I’ve known a couple of people who’ve had misfortune of needing anti venom and I have a new appreciation in how much goes into the production of it and the costs associated with it.
I didn’t realise how tall Emily is until this video, honestly at the start I almost thought she was on a step or something
maybe Megan is just short
Catie The Smol Potato maybe but she’s taller than they guy too
She could be a model. She's thin, tall, and pretty.
@@christophermcmillan9948 oh yeah
Emily is 6 feet tall
That last cobra was handsome! He was just like "I know whats going on, that doesn't mean i'll bite" he is a prime example of just how smart snakes can be.
I love that nose scrunching thing that the mambas do. My retics do it when they eat their food, I think it makes them look like puppies 🥰
The Black Mamba is one of my favourite snakes. They're incredible. I love how they're basically just super anxious, whereas the King Cobra is very calm. The first Mamba just bit bit bit bit, and the King Cobra just bit.
18:13 "So it doesn't look like a lot, but it's enough to kill every single person in this room" 😅 alright, nice!
Never p'o that particular person. xD
What he doesn't mention is that it was probably enough to kill everyone in that room thrice XD
Fun!
No Pressure
Note to self: be on their good side. 😃
Their professionalism was so good to see it makes me happy to see how well everything was taken care of

Snake Discovery - This is by far one of the *coolest* videos you guys have done! I am soooo intrigued by how MToxins does their work! Sooooo cool! Those folks are absolute pros - from how they did the extractions, to their methodology, logging everything, and just their overall concern, first and foremost, for the well-being of their animals. Absolutely amazing! I'd love to visit MToxins' facility and learn more!
Thank you so very much for sharing this adventure with us!
Have a wonderful weekend! 👍💚💛🐍
Maybe I say it a little bit late but...
I really love how you say this. I actually think you're speaking for a lot of us. 🙂👌🏻✌🏻
Have a great one
This was so awesome. Very educational and respectful of every snake!
king cobras are very aware of their surroundings, *shows the king cobra looking like someone took his lunch and needs to know who*

Get a small constrictor like a corn snake or milk snake hehe.
want a cobra but dont wanna die? get a faulse cobra. they make awesome pet snakes.

What happened to that poor copperhead is horrific. I'm super bummed about how we as a species treat the creatures that we fear.
Even ones we dont! We clip dogs ears and dock their tails and declaw cats because people act like dogs and cats are designer objects to serve you and make your life easier not realizing they are a species all their own and deserve respect and a place in our family free of them having to CHANGE to accommodate us. If you cant have an animal without doing unnecessary alterations to it DONT HAVE AN ANIMAL (not bitching at you of course just building off your comment )
@@littlemisswolfee1095 I feel the same way. I have rescue cats and two of them had previous owners that declawed them. One with all four of her paws and the other only his front paws, and both of their previous owners abandoned them and threw them outside with no way to defend themselves.
If people who want animals don't want all the "inconveniences" of said animal then they have no place in getting a pet at all.
Little Miss Wolfee Yeah, I really hate how the majority of dogs have no tail. I absolutely love when I see a dog with a tail
@@mason3461 I hate when I see people that have puppies with clipped ears and docked tails. It's just horrible to mutilate such a young animal for no medical reason.
Filthy mortals treating animals like that mortal trash
It was really interesting to hear about how the non-specific antivenom was made in particular, but absolutely everything about this video was fascinating! Even though I could only listen to the spider part, because I'm terrified of spiders (fine with scorpions, just not spiders) its still really interesting to hear about them using 'non-dangerous' venom to study for potential beneficial attributes! Also I totally didn't know horses were involved in making antivenom! That's so cool!
Snake:pokes his head out
Also snake: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
I’m such a dumbass, when he said they knock out the tarantula, I thought they would take it and bang it’s head against the table. Lol, I’m so glad it’s just gas 😂 I love tarantulas
I imagined them using a tiny cartoon-y hammer... I felt silly.
*bonk*
,ya it just like happy gas

Yeah, I thought that they gonna put it in the box and shake the box until the spider passes out XD damn, that would be cruel. I am a sick-minded bastard!
I love this video so much...
Nate's reaction to the bird eater was endearing as hell... and very relateable. "They are mean... and fast!"

That poor Copperhead, I'm so glad she's in better care. How could somebody be so evil to an animal? She deserves all the good treatment she gets!!
