I am a member of this individuals group as I joined for knowledge of venomous, and I have kept venomous snakes for the past few years, and one of the first things I read when doing research was that if you get bit, it is 100% on you, nobody HAS to share their stash of anti-venom, including even zoo's. I do NOT support free-handling, it's reckless and foolish, I have the utmost respect for you @Viperkeeper as well as @VenomCentral for the LOAD of information, knowledge, and overall safety that you guys preach and teach. Thank you! We stand with Kentucky Reptile Zoo!
Absolutely! I've been following Al since I was an undergrad almost 20 years ago. I fell in love with venomous and got to work in a molecular biology lab because of his inspiration. I came to the sad realization that I will probably never own hots myself due to my severe ADHD, but (unlike in the story) that's a risk I'm not willing to put onto others.
Imagine the "oh shit" moment that guy had when he realized he got bitten. Also, imagine the "oh shit" moment when the ER doctors learned what an Inland Taipan is.
Also imagine the "oh shit," moment the police had when they showed up NOT being told what the problem was, and arriving and seeing 14 of the most venomous snakes in the world were being kept in TUPPERWARE CONTAINERS. Needless to say, all 14 snakes were euthanized due to this guy, because zoos can't take the risk of bringing in contamination.

I won't even watch YTs that free handle these deadly snakes for views..can't get enough of this channel..thanks for the update,your time,and experience and for educating me about these snakes!❤❤
Very well said. I hope Jim and Kristen know that they have a huge community who will stand by their side. Between you and KRZ, I've learned so much in proper husbandry. We all love these animals, and we all know that they "should" require a huge amount of respect from the keeper. Thank you for continuing to promote proper keeping, proper husbandry, and the proper use of tools.
Done Al. I wrote them a review. I've been a long time viewer and thank you for making me further enjoy and appreciate venomous snakes. People can be just AWFUL. I wish KRZ the best. Much care to you and Laurie 💗
he free handles everything... I seen him free handling a Ferdelance like two weeks ago guy is nutty or something. I watched his Live because I had a feeling this would happen sooner than later
I’m so thankful for you Al. I learned how amazing animals like Gaboons and Sawscales are from your channel. But I also learned how important it is to respect them as well. That they are as deadly as they are beautiful. Thank you for your consistency in content and character. I will definitely go show support to KY Reptile Zoo
I agree with you. The zoos buy the very expensive anti-venom for their employees. Part of insurence for their employees. Pet owners need to buy their own if they risk their lives with the snakes.
Exactly the anti-venom is for the employees and not to save the ass of every reckless snake keeper who can't bother to buy their own anti-venom or check the hospitals in their area at least has anti-venom.
Thank you for answering questions about who's paying for the antivenin. I've suspected for a while that people forget how much it costs to save their lives and who's toting that note. I have admired the fact that you keep a supply of antivenin for safety sake. My two cents on the subject is, if someone is keeping these beautiful deadly animals they should be required to also purchase antivenin in case of bites. As far as I'm concerned nobody should be shamed because they do not want to give away something that costs thousands of dollars. Your analogy was perfect.
I have so much respect for you and the responsible way you handle your venomous snakes. You are one of the best in the field. I just left a review of the Kentucky Reptile Zoo per your request. Thank you for all the years of fascinating videos. Elvis is my favorite. He is the first snake I actually liked. So much personality and intelligence. Hope your wife feels better and fully heals soon.
This is why Viperkeeper is one of the most respected guys in this industry. Glad you spoke on this Mr Viperkeeper! I totally agree with KRZ. Especially considering who the guy is! I will go drop 5 stars!
As an Australian, and a keeper of venomous, I cannot believe anyone would freehandle any taipan! This person must have been a proper goose. These snakes are native here, anti-venom is available ‘quickly’ and in an effectively unlimited amount and yet we still have to be licensed to have venomous snakes I cannot believe that ‘anyone’ in the US is allowed to ‘own’ such an animal (taipans more likely ‘own’ you) without having anti-venom on site. Given the expensive health care in the US I shudder to think what the financial cost alone will do to this person, let alone the likely life long impacts of envenomation. Crazy.
I've always liked them, after snake discovery did their interview with primarily Kristen. She was very knowledgeable, reasonable, and perfectly willing to help another member of the reptile community in the middle of the Winter and covid. Also I would call the situations they would happily help "good faith accidents"- keepers using tools and reasonable practices. Thx for the nuanced take on this and backing them. And info out there for other good faith keepers.
I'm honored to stand with KRZ! Jim and Kristen are a true treasure in Kentucky, and for the venomous snakes of our world, and for science. What they do, helps to save lives, promotes medical research, and responsible stewardship of wildlife!
Good information. Fully support the excellent work by the Kentucky Reptile Zoo and yourself. I support the decision to not provide antivenin as their small supply is critical for their operation and staff. Appreciate the update.
Thank you for speaking up for the KRZ (Kentucky Reptile Zoo). I went out and put a 5 star review with a short paragraph telling people to bring their kids and/or grandkids for a fun & educational experience (based on most reviews it seems people are all in agreement about it being fun & educational, as well as clean and has staff that is friendly and knowledgable. Thanks for looking out for others in the industry who didn’t deserve to be the scapegoat for someone else’s unfortunate experience (whether it was because of an accident or unsafe practices. I don’t wish bad on anyone, especially a small zoo just looking to safeguard their own milkers and volunteers. God Bless both of you (Al & Lori). Lifting Lori up in Prayers for a speedy return to wellness and camera duty. We will miss her till then and will hopefully hear an occasional word or wisdom from across the room or house until she returns to feeling better. 🙏🏻❤️😇🙌🐍🐁🐀🤔
Thank you AL, for making this instructional, intelligent and insightful video. You have been a very important teacher to me and my husband and countless others on what snakes are about and how they deserve our respect and our care instead of abuse and torture and their demise. Will try to reach the Kentucky reptile zoo to support them. Thank you for the update on Mrs Viperkeeper, my husband and myself are sending our best wishes to your wife for a total recovery and we are also sending our best to you as her support system. 💐
Thank you for the information you’ve shared with the community, and I appreciate your work Doc. I further understand the nature of the circumstances and respect the decisions made. I hope this unfortunate and dark circumstance allows for healing, changed behaviors, and above all education for the community.
Sending love and support for Mrs VK. Get well soon Lori, and stay positive! As far as the guy with the inland taipan bite, it's a case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This is why I've always loved and valued your content VK. Arguably the best herp channel on RUclips. You play it safe, you respect each individual animal, and you live to fight again another day. I'm a wildlife biologist, and this is exactly what we were taught repeatedly in animal handling courses. The idea was drilled into our heads almost endlessly. Any time you free handle a deadly snake, or any deadly animal for that matter, you're playing with your very life. Good fortune can turn bad in an instant, and then that's the end for you. I'll provide a glowing review for KRZ and tell them thanks for protecting their employees and respecting the wildlife they care for.
Just went to KRZ channel & added my support for them & their channel. Best wishes & continued thoughts & prayers for Mrs. VK to continue on the road to recovery.
I have so much respect for this channel, been watching 14 yrs. F around and find out. Glad u and the Misses are doing as well as you can. This has always been an amazing channel. Makes me research on snakes, medicine, outcomes from bites. TY, Viperkeeper. I would never flip tin for snakes, lol, I scardy of fangs, got bit when I was 5yr old by a white german sheperd, nasty bite
Firstly, it's great to hear Mrs Viper Keeper is on the mend. Secondly, thank you for a sensible and balanced take on this tragic incident, saying the facts and assessing this horrific situation for what it is. It's a real shame this has become so volatile and all human life, reckless or not is valuable and worth saving, however it makes me sick to see so many people attack an institution that has no doubt saved countless lives for decades. Let's show some support for ethical keepers and the KRZ.
Viper keeper you do it right, you are safe and you provide proper care for your snakes and you house them in proper enclosures. This individual that was bitten housed his snakes in totes! He was very preachy about how he handled snakes and what happened to him is no accident! Viper keeper prayers to your wife my friend!
The KRZ has this disclaimer, "KRZ reserves the right to refuse the sale of venoms. Please ensure that your initial inquiry includes credentials from your university, facility, or company. " This organization should not be criticized for enforcing its policy.
Also viper keeper grate to see your still going i remember watching you as a teen im now in my 30s and been working with reptiles most of my adult life thank you so much for being my start in to learning about our reptile firends
I posted for you and ive actually been there two different times throughout the years so that was a very easy review to leave I love the fact that you get to walk through at your own pace and how well they have the different reptiles names both common and Latin posted awesome place super nice people
Thank you VK, your videos have brought me so much joy over the years. Im sorry you had to make a video explaining an idiot when he could have just listened to any one of your videos
I stand behind Kentucky Reptile Zoo decision to protect their own staff. It’s not their responsibility to supply antivenin to a completely irresponsible handler that wants to play Superman.
Done and done. I can't believe people are doing this to them. Happy to hear good news about Lori. You are looking pretty good too sir. I hope everything continues on an up trend for you. Take care sir.
Thank you for the update on Mrs. V. We will keep her in our prayers. I support KRZ & their decision to retain their antivenom. Any responsible snake handler should understand & respect that decision.
hey viperkeeper, just saying I've been following your videos for around 15 years now. It all started with my sister, as she kept hognose snakes, ball pythons, tree pythons, and and and. Lots of beautiful snakes. I then randomly stumbled upon your channel without even really understanding english at all (I'm from Germany). Over the years I became fluent in listening / understanding though, and still kept watching your videos. I love the fact that you're still doing videos til this day, I rarely check RUclips at all these days, and almost forgot you existed. Just now I opened RUclips, and you were the first video suggestion. I still follow you on my old account which I sadly can't reset anymore, it's gone, but I also follow you with this account. Much love all the way from Germany, keep it up, you were part of my childhood and teenage years!
I just left a five-star review. Thank you for the update on "Mrs. Viperkeeper," and the information about the taipan victim. I did not know anything about it until this video.
I love that you keep anti-venom on hand for all the snakes you keep. I can’t imagine doing otherwise yet it seems to be very common. I’d love to see it become a requirement to keep such pets in the future.
Hi Al-I saw this story on the news and I was hoping you would talk about it. I had not heard that the Kentucky Reptile Zoo was taking a hit for doing the right thing. I went over to their website and left them a positive review because I was born in Kentucky and always heard of the great work they do. Thanks for addressing this incident and tell Mrs. Viperkeeper that we are praying for her quick recovery. All the best-Nate
I'm from around Lexington and used to go to the reptile zoo in the late 80s early 90s and loved it. I always had a passion for reptiles. I own a few. No hot snakes though! Just found your page today and a new fan! Appreciate the content sir.

Thank you kindly
The Kentucky Reptile Zoo does amazing work and deserves the utmost respect from everything I've witnessed over the last decade.
100%
I was just watching a video about this guy and apparently he abused and mistreats animals. He has "many allegations". Allegedly.
Best wishes for Lori's recovery. Much faith and strength for you both.
Well said! I hope they both take care of themselves.
Imagine the "oh shit" moment that guy had when he realized he got bitten. Also, imagine the "oh shit" moment when the ER doctors learned what an Inland Taipan is.
Also imagine the "oh shit," moment the police had when they showed up NOT being told what the problem was, and arriving and seeing 14 of the most venomous snakes in the world were being kept in TUPPERWARE CONTAINERS.
Needless to say, all 14 snakes were euthanized due to this guy, because zoos can't take the risk of bringing in contamination.

KRZ did the right thing. I am glad to hear the news about Mrs. Viperkeeper. Please pass on our thoughts and love.
I'm glad someone is speaking with common sense rather than blind fanaticism for the individual who has most likely changed this hobby for the worse.
Amen‼️
I won't even watch YTs that free handle these deadly snakes for views..can't get enough of this channel..thanks for the update,your time,and experience and for educating me about these snakes!❤❤
Glad I'm not alone in that why support morons ruining the hobby I don't or will never own Snakes but to ruin it for other by being stupid is insanity
I’m glad Mrs. Viper Keeper is feeling better, God bless you both.
Praying for Mrs. Viperkeeper to have a total recovery.

I got to visit Kentucky Reptile Zoo this time last year, they run a great operation there
Wow!!!! This guy was Free Handling a Taipan, nuts!

Whats that saying " Taipans dont start fights, they end them"
Don't forget his tweet not long before the bite "anti venom is for Pushies 😺" if you know what im saying.
Love watching Jim at KRZ. He is awesome. Also loved to watch Dr Shawn Bush
I love that you keep anti-venom on hand for all the snakes you keep. I can’t imagine doing otherwise yet it seems to be very common. I’d love to see it become a requirement to keep such pets in the future.
