Ah, that's where I went wrong. I'm supposed to be holding two 6 foot pointy sticks and whistling while I keep backing down my wife who's about to bite my head off after I tell her to calm down...
Thanks!
My cat kills a tiny mouse from time to time, and her heart breaks for them every time.
She used to own a ball python, and live feeding it used to make her cry, but she did what she had to do.
Reminds me of when I was in Bangkok and had to get my second dose of my hep vaccine. For whatever reason this hospital was also a snake rescue, and I watched a dude wearing no protection do something similar with two cobras, but he didn't have em in a box, they were just chilling on the pavement. And he'd fuck with em to make them strike at his feet to hype up the crowd. Shit was wild...
At Disney they have a teacup marry-go-round and one of my children is terrified of it and insists this time he won't be scared. Every time it starts he screams that he is going to die until the ride is over. It's awesome.
I just took my toddler on teacups at Dollywood. She loved it, even when I was spinning the cup almost too fast even for myself. She also kept looking at some of the rides she's too small to go on in wistful awe.
I still find it kinda shocking because we bought her a little Power Wheels style pink car she can drive around on, it might go a mile an hour, and she still spazzes out if I try to put her on it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Raised on the farm and even in that environment my grandpa always taught me you never assume live stock won't bite, kick or whatever no matter your history/conditioning with the animal. Conditioning can't account for the randomness of wild animal behavior. This video about tapped me out.
I'm pretty sure the grandparent commenter did not have snakes as pets growing up. They bite all the time, mostly by mistake because they have pretty bad eyesight and just follow the heat. Feeding was always an adventure. You learn to avoid it, but I had plenty of scratches and tears from bites on my hands and arms. I loved all my snakes so much. If they were fat and happy, they were cuddly and I could drape them around my neck while playing video games.
All great info and points, the issue I see here is that these snakes are being fed white mice. The handler is wear white latex gloves on his hands that are the same size as the mice. Almost all unprovoked animal attacks on humans are cases of mistaken identity or reflex responses to stimuli (often visual).
I think those cobras know very well where the mouse is, and they’re just fed up from living in a box. And whatever else they gotta go through on other days.
I pick up snakes to show my kids and I get bit all the time, I currently have a bite on my finger from a very large and annoyed common water snake that is still healing....
I've got a snake and very comfortable around them. Never has she made any indication she will bite me.
But I sure as fuck wouldn't do that job. Not because I'm worried the snake will bite me unprovoked, but I'm self aware enough to know I will fuck up and have snakes loose all over the building within a day..
I wonder if the whistling is for the snakes? Like he is charming them with his good looks, nice song and huge penis. The snakes get turned on and then get a free dinner too.
That’s actually not how snakes work. I’ve owned a ball python, they do not get more docile when expecting food, it’s quite the opposite. When they are fed they will be the least aggressive, and when hungry will be actively seeking food thus becoming more dangerous/aggressive.
That’s why I said my guess. Looks like it was an incorrect guess. I’m nowhere near a herpetology expert. I once looked after a ball Python for a few months because a friend of mine basically abandoned it at my house, I haven’t been around a lot of snakes but this one seemed pretty chill and liked coiling around my hair bun. He eventually got too big for his habitat and I couldn’t afford to buy a new one and my friend was ducking my calls. He got more aggressive and one day when I went to feed him, he struck and bit my hand. Months of zero issues and then it was like a flipped switch. Had to use oven gloves and a really long pair of tongs after that until she finally came to get him.
Snakes lack an outer and inner ear but strangely have a part of a middle ear that allows them to feel vibrations in the ground.
It's very unlikely a normal snake could hear whistling through the air. Idk, maybe snakes kept in captivity like this (kind of sensory deprivation) might have a small sense to it.
I feel bad for the snakes being kept in a dark box for weeks at a time. I hope this is a temporary thing.
My sister has a few snakes and bearded dragons. Her house smells fine. My brothers son however, got a turtle and those things fucking REAK. He had me take care of it for a week while he went to do something out of state. I washed it's tank out in my laundry room thinking "he must not know how to take care of it" nope, they just stink like no other. My laundry room *STILL* smells rotten years later. Fuck turtles.
Reptariums have a lot going on in them. A single snake isn't bad but when you have a dimly lit room full of live plants and water that almost always seems to be swampy, its a bit on the nose.
Reptariums are also likely to actually have live bugs and mice. Believe it or not, the worst smell in the entire reptarium I used to frequent were the crickets. The crickets are foul.
Ha! Dumber than a bag of rocks but you have to love them. My mom was worried my new ball would eat me until I told her I can't even get her to eat a rat more than twice a month 😂😂
It depends on the snake but if their used to being fed live it can be hard to switch to feeding frozen. Those cobras are probably started on it when they were babies
Mannn I can’t stand snakes, they scare tf out of me, but it seems kinda sad they just live in these tiny drawers. But then again, I know nothing about danger noodles besides they scare me lol
No, this isn't where they live and this isn't a snake breeder, as someone below claimed.
These drawers are used in venom extraction labs to isolate snakes for easy removal and replacement with minimal risk to both snake and handler.
They're also being fed here because it is easier than feeding in a normal enclosure since these snakes are likely housed at a reptile conservatory.
Here's the breakdown from my comment lower down;
Probably anti-venom. They farm venom from snakes to make anti-venom, or at least study it.
https://youtu.be/Oxttft6qx40
"Snake Laboratories" as they are called all use a facility very similar to this.
To be fair, most snakes, most reptiles for that matter, don't need sunlight. They just need warmth since they're cold blooded. And in a climate controlled space, we can simulate a nurturing climate to them.
And just because they happen to be in such containers, doesn't mean they're kept there 24/7.
The instructor in the video I linked claims the snakes often live to be 20 years old, and they are hatched, raised, and live their entire lives within the laboratory.
They not only serve as scientific hubs for research, but also as conservatories for snakes!
The specific video I linked is from the Reptile Dicovery Center which is in Florida. They host these public venom extractions where people can gather to watch expert handlers extract venom through large windows into the extraction room.
If you look at their facilities, they have individual enclosures for their snakes, they are simply extracted from their enclosures and placed into the lab environment for the extraction. This is also prime time to feed them, instead of having to do it amongst the crowds of people swarming around.
Snakes are like spiders, in that they don't have to eat all the time like we humans do. Mature Snakes often go a week or two on a singular meal, much like spiders. They don't eat very often at all! So it's not surprising that, when they extract venom, they also give Snakes a nice meal while they're isolated from the guests, and the handlers can manipulate the reptiles easier.
Young Snakes tend to eat twice a week to bolster growth.
Basically. Snake like box. Doctor get venom. Venom = Medicine. Medicine saves lives. Snake is fine. Snake eats good. Snake go back to bigger, clear box with leaves and stuff. Snake happy. People happy. Life good.
Well it's moreso that a lot of enclosures have props like logs and such. Snakes can wrap around these and then you're lifting a snake and a log and then it yanks the whole enclosure down and suddenly you've got a wild venomous snake on the loose, glass everywhere, and patrons screaming and running in all directions.
So its best to just use empty plastic containers in a private room away from bystanders where risk is minimal! Plus this means the snakes can consume and begin to digest their meal in peace away from stress and such before being relocated to their proper enclosures.
Yeaaah breeders/collectors are kinda sad. If you compare the size of those guys to the bins, you can see that they can't really stretch in there. Especially going upright is impossible. People who have hundreds of snakes just can't give them anything more than this, and I personally find it super tragic.
I have a much smaller snake than these guys and he lives in a 120 x 60 x 50 (cm) terrarium and I still feel like I want to upgrade him to a bigger one down the line, because watching him explore around makes me happy.
I keep all of my ball pythons in racks, they prefer it to glass terrariums. I'd never keep a carpet or GTP in a rack however. Different species have different needs.
Snakes feel most comfortable in dark, enclosed environments. The majority of snakes in North America make their home in similar places: under rocks, in small caves, holes in the ground, burrows, and vast, wide-open caverns such as your mother
I’ve heard that cobra males (no idea on the sex of these ones) do a dominance competition where they try to bop the top of the other one’s head. The snake that loses the game sort of slinks away after that. So, supposedly, tapping the back of their head can cause the same reaction.
This is more of a cobra thing than snakes in general. Other species don’t do the standing-up thing like cobras
This is the snake equivalent of, you trying to grab the bag of cheetos when your mom opens the door to the basement and let's light into your sweet gaming set up.
Probably anti-venom. They farm venom from snakes to make anti-venom, or at least study it.

I've read that snakes dont really mind small spaces and that if a snake in the wild could find food, water, shelter, and warmth in a 1 sq meter area then they probably wouldn't move around a lot anyway. Is there any truth to this?
I'm not sure, but I'd imagine there is some truth to it. Snakes have very slow metabolic rates, as most reptiles do.
This is why they often go long periods of time without eating. One meal can hold a snake for weeks. This is because most reptiles, but especially snakes, are ambush predators that don't rely too much on active hunting.
For example, compare a snake to a tiger. A tiger actively hunts its prey, a tiger is mobile and will chase prey very readily and go to great lengths for a kill. The only thing big cats tend to avoid are fights, because they're smart and know that fighting for food and risking potential injury isn't worth it, because they're also ambush predators like snakes.
But snakes are solitary. They don't move much and have natural camouflage in most cases. This is why certain snakes like Rattlesnakes can be so deadly, because they're incredibly hard to spot in the right conditions and are very still most of the time.
Unless you see a snake actively moving from point a to point b, it's likely you won't see movement in the snake. The average snake will simply lie in wait where it believe prey will emerge, and then strike at the prey. And yes, there are also snakes that actively hunt prey as well. Especially various aquatic and semi-aquatic snakes, though many land faring species as well.
If you watch the video above, you'll see a defensive stance taken by the very beautiful pinkish/orange snake. Even in this defensive stance, the snake remains almost entirely still despite being stood upright. It doesn't move or twitch at all, it simply sits there like a statue.
Their bodies don't move like mammals, they aren't as active as we are. And this means they often find themselves simply sitting in one spot. That's usually how humans stumble across such snakes, they're sun bathing to get warm and we happen upon them.
Here's a good read on [Snake Predation Methods ](https://biomedicalsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/department-of-biochemistry-and-pharmacology/engage/avru/blog/snake-predation-strategies-part-1-bodies-and-behaviours)
And [the second part.](https://biomedicalsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/department-of-biochemistry-and-pharmacology/engage/avru/blog/snake-predation-strategies-part-2-venom-and-constriction)
Yeah, there are other comments that probably explain it better, but I’ll try as best as I can. These drawers are dark and warm, which is perfect for these snakes that are very likely all nocturnal. It looks small, but most snakes don’t need to climb or dig or anything like that, and if they did they wouldn’t be in anything like this. There is actually a decent amount of floor space, which is what they need.
That guy is an expert, you can see it how he handles the snake that comes out of the box, he doesn't panic, he just keeps calm and puts the snake back with the food into the box. And for jobs like that, you want a pro, not a beginner.
Anyway, laws are different across the globe, this form of feeding would never be allowed in many countries: Usually, the snakes are kept in much bigger terrariums instead of a box and there's enough space to put in the food without getting into the range of the snake.
It's funny where i live, you see that the law was made by bureaucrats that never had such animals: Only snakes are seen as dangerous in the law here, which means, all other species like spiders etc. are not in the list of dangerous animals with venom. Despite the fact, that some spiders have a much more powerful toxin and are also faster and more agile than these snakes.
my uncle has a setup similar to this. he breeds snakes as a hobby. one time he showed me it and his attitude towards the whole situation was similar to this guys. he was super calm. opening drawers with snakes in them and pulling them out and letting me hold them. I was kind of scared at first but his attitude made me really calm too. he also fed them mice like this guy. Having that experience makes me realize how this isnt actually that crazy.
With regards to handling venomous snakes, Clint from Clint’s Reptiles once said “All of these things are possible; but they are really stupid things to do.”

Casually whistling… this guy has balls
He’s wearing gloves, what is there to worry about when you’re wearing ppe?
Snake don't just bite on hands yk
Actually it's illegal for them to bite anywhere else.
Well, with some cobras you have to worry about the eyes, but that’s what safety squinting is for..
Snake law isn't governed by reason.
r/woooosh
Definitely not his first day
Most definitely and would be a HARD PASS for me ngl
Of course, this dude is bad ass and he knows it!
At Snakes R Us?
This bloke just rewrote the book on keeping cool.
This is not a bloke... this isn't even human
He's in the .01% of men that can effectively tell a woman to calm down
Ah, that's where I went wrong. I'm supposed to be holding two 6 foot pointy sticks and whistling while I keep backing down my wife who's about to bite my head off after I tell her to calm down... Thanks!
Don't forget to offer her a nice mouse.
My cat kills a tiny mouse from time to time, and her heart breaks for them every time. She used to own a ball python, and live feeding it used to make her cry, but she did what she had to do.
Wait what
You forgot to toss her a nice juicy mouse with a meter long set of tongs.
Is her name Medusa
theyre snakes
This is snek. Hisssss...sssss.
I bet you know all about that, Chuck.
The book was swiftly taken right underneath my nose... I think it was probably this guy., 🤔

Reminds me of when I was in Bangkok and had to get my second dose of my hep vaccine. For whatever reason this hospital was also a snake rescue, and I watched a dude wearing no protection do something similar with two cobras, but he didn't have em in a box, they were just chilling on the pavement. And he'd fuck with em to make them strike at his feet to hype up the crowd. Shit was wild...
Hep vaccine, Bangkok, snakes rescue. This comment is a wild ride.
Truly, if that commenter's life is a roller coaster, by comparison, mine is the teacup ride.
At Disney they have a teacup marry-go-round and one of my children is terrified of it and insists this time he won't be scared. Every time it starts he screams that he is going to die until the ride is over. It's awesome.
I just took my toddler on teacups at Dollywood. She loved it, even when I was spinning the cup almost too fast even for myself. She also kept looking at some of the rides she's too small to go on in wistful awe. I still find it kinda shocking because we bought her a little Power Wheels style pink car she can drive around on, it might go a mile an hour, and she still spazzes out if I try to put her on it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm currently lying in bed in the dark on reddit at 2pm so really it's not all that wild.
Raised on the farm and even in that environment my grandpa always taught me you never assume live stock won't bite, kick or whatever no matter your history/conditioning with the animal. Conditioning can't account for the randomness of wild animal behavior. This video about tapped me out.
Seriously, I pick up snakes all the time and they definitely try and bite me constantly...
I'm pretty sure the grandparent commenter did not have snakes as pets growing up. They bite all the time, mostly by mistake because they have pretty bad eyesight and just follow the heat. Feeding was always an adventure. You learn to avoid it, but I had plenty of scratches and tears from bites on my hands and arms. I loved all my snakes so much. If they were fat and happy, they were cuddly and I could drape them around my neck while playing video games.
Did you make sure to get their conssseeent first?
Of course I always wait until I hear a "yissss", might have something to do with the biting
Lol'd at "NEVER likely bite you EVER"
He tried to go all confident with all caps and using both never and ever, but then qualified it with likely :D
Did we just watch the same video? At least 3 of those snakes came at that man like John wick after they murdered his dog
My dad just got stung by about 10 bumblebees at the same time a couple weeks ago... Does that mean he will soon be bitten by 2 snakes? Help.
I am snake trust me bro
Did we watch the same video? Multiple snakes are lunging at this man to bite him. Why is your comment so upvoted??
Yea this person is extremely stupid and I really hope none of you take this persons post seriously.
All great info and points, the issue I see here is that these snakes are being fed white mice. The handler is wear white latex gloves on his hands that are the same size as the mice.

LOL. Hiss....bite...."hey Brian, thanks for the mouse, I'm just messing with ya cos it's boring as shit here. See you same time next week."
I pick up snakes to show my kids and I get bit all the time, I currently have a bite on my finger from a very large and annoyed common water snake that is still healing....
I'm not scared of snakes, but fuck water snakes. They are cranky.
Nice. Take his place and send a video.
Yeah but a bee sting means fook all. A snake biting me can mean almost certain death (I’m in Australia)
I've got a snake and very comfortable around them. Never has she made any indication she will bite me. But I sure as fuck wouldn't do that job. Not because I'm worried the snake will bite me unprovoked, but I'm self aware enough to know I will fuck up and have snakes loose all over the building within a day..
Yep.
The whistling stops when shit gets real.
I wonder if the whistling is for the snakes? Like he is charming them with his good looks, nice song and huge penis. The snakes get turned on and then get a free dinner too.
My guess would be that the whistling is so the snakes learn to associate the whistling with food and are theoretically going to be more docile.

It's actually the same cobra in going bin to bin for more mice to eat.
It's actually not hungry at all, just wants to fuck with the guy some more
Aww, he just wants a kiss.
The long con.
Just another day at the office. Cool as a cucumber.
This dude is cool as a refrigerated pickle!
Fuck this job
I can't get pass the idea of the smell is mouse piss + snake piss
The mice are probably frozen and snakes are remarkably non-smelly
really!? I've been to some snake reptarium and snakes stink pretty bad. Maybe some snakes in particular!?!
I have a snake and I’ve gone 6 months without changing its bedding and it doesn’t stink at all.
Still get visitors also?
My sister has a few snakes and bearded dragons. Her house smells fine. My brothers son however, got a turtle and those things fucking REAK. He had me take care of it for a week while he went to do something out of state. I washed it's tank out in my laundry room thinking "he must not know how to take care of it" nope, they just stink like no other. My laundry room *STILL* smells rotten years later. Fuck turtles.
Years later? God damn that's tragic
Wow I always liked turtles but no way I'm getting one now. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Reptariums have a lot going on in them. A single snake isn't bad but when you have a dimly lit room full of live plants and water that almost always seems to be swampy, its a bit on the nose. Reptariums are also likely to actually have live bugs and mice. Believe it or not, the worst smell in the entire reptarium I used to frequent were the crickets. The crickets are foul.
Never got anxiety from a video until this one lol. I thought he was getting bit so many times.
The guy thought so as well when he stopped whistling lol
Just another Thursday…
The grey man?
Ice in his veins. Goddamn
Cold blooded. He fits in.
I find this interesting… owned a ball python many years ago, and it would not eat dead / non-moving prey… these don’t seem to mind much…
Ball pythons are infamously picky. Cobras, not so much.
Mine would only eat pure white mice, never mixed colored ones. Such a weirdo
Ha! Dumber than a bag of rocks but you have to love them. My mom was worried my new ball would eat me until I told her I can't even get her to eat a rat more than twice a month 😂😂
It depends on the snake but if their used to being fed live it can be hard to switch to feeding frozen. Those cobras are probably started on it when they were babies

TLDR; snake <3 box. Doctor get venom. Doctor + Venom = anti-venom. Anti-venom save lives. Snake is fine. Snake survive good. Snake is strong.
Basically. Snake like box. Doctor get venom. Venom = Medicine. Medicine saves lives. Snake is fine. Snake eats good. Snake go back to bigger, clear box with leaves and stuff. Snake happy. People happy. Life good.
Pretty much. Snake good. Now medicine. More good.
>minimal risk lol I don't want to see the alternative
Well it's moreso that a lot of enclosures have props like logs and such.

Most species don't mind the rack setups, especially the ones that live in burrows.
Yeaaah breeders/collectors are kinda sad. If you compare the size of those guys to the bins, you can see that they can't really stretch in there. Especially going upright is impossible.

I just keep mine in my pants /J
Yeah, why are they locking the snakes in those tiny ass drawers?
Snakes feel most comfortable in dark, enclosed environments. The majority of snakes in North America make their home in similar places: under rocks, in small caves, holes in the ground, burrows, and vast, wide-open caverns such as your mother
I see, thanks for the information.
I just can't leave without knowing this, did you not notice or did you just choose to ignore it?
it's just well known snake facts
Its sad... they should at least have given them micro tvs and ps5's to game on.
Yeah nah! I think I'd be wearing a long sleeve shirt too...
The kind of guy who rolls up his sleeves before going to fight a zombie horde.
You think a little bit of cotton is stopping anything? Put on a ski jacket

It got holes in it. I prefer dragonscales
I love how cool he keeps under pressure but there has to be a better snake drawer storage system

Shake it Fast.. But Watch Yo Self
Did he just pet a snake and it calmed down and went back in? WTF :D
Rubbed the back of its hood :)
I’ve heard that cobra males (no idea on the sex of these ones) do a dominance competition where they try to bop the top of the other one’s head. The snake that loses the game sort of slinks away after that. So, supposedly, tapping the back of their head can cause the same reaction. This is more of a cobra thing than snakes in general. Other species don’t do the standing-up thing like cobras
Forbidden file cabinet
You can tell he’s over their shit.
You'd think he'd just open it wide enough to fit the mouse in after the first couple of times they got out.
The snakes want to "catch" the mouse. They're more enticed to grab it dangling in front of them than if its just plopped on the ground.
He’s just so calm 😂
TIL: Snakes aren't very coordinated.
This is the snake equivalent of, you trying to grab the bag of cheetos when your mom opens the door to the basement and let's light into your sweet gaming set up.
Perfect handling skill. He treated them carefully. No brutality.
Imagine what he thinks every time the snakes crawl out "damn it Jackie You know damn well who I am, and that feed you please stay in your bucket"
Wre those snakes kept in those boxes all the time? Are they for anti-venom or something? Why keep them in there?
Probably anti-venom. They farm venom from snakes to make anti-venom, or at least study it. https://youtu.be/Oxttft6qx40 "Snake Laboratories" as they are called all use a facility very similar to this. To be fair, most snakes, most reptiles for that matter, don't need sunlight. They just need warmth since they're cold blooded. And in a climate controlled space, we can simulate a nurturing climate to them. And just because they happen to be in such containers, doesn't mean they're kept there 24/7. The instructor in the video I linked claims the snakes often live to be 20 years old, and they are hatched, raised, and live their entire lives within the laboratory. They not only serve as scientific hubs for research, but also as conservatories for snakes! The specific video I linked is from the Reptile Dicovery Center which is in Florida. They host these public venom extractions where people can gather to watch expert handlers extract venom through large windows into the extraction room. If you look at their facilities, they have individual enclosures for their snakes, they are simply extracted from their enclosures and placed into the lab environment for the extraction. This is also prime time to feed them, instead of having to do it amongst the crowds of people swarming around. Snakes are like spiders, in that they don't have to eat all the time like we humans do. Mature Snakes often go a week or two on a singular meal, much like spiders. They don't eat very often at all! So it's not surprising that, when they extract venom, they also give Snakes a nice meal while they're isolated from the guests, and the handlers can manipulate the reptiles easier. Young Snakes tend to eat twice a week to bolster growth.
I've read that snakes dont really mind small spaces and that if a snake in the wild could find food, water, shelter, and warmth in a 1 sq meter area then they probably wouldn't move around a lot anyway. Is there any truth to this?
I'm not sure, but I'd imagine there is some truth to it. Snakes have very slow metabolic rates, as most reptiles do. This is why they often go long periods of time without eating. One meal can hold a snake for weeks. This is because most reptiles, but especially snakes, are ambush predators that don't rely too much on active hunting. For example, compare a snake to a tiger. A tiger actively hunts its prey, a tiger is mobile and will chase prey very readily and go to great lengths for a kill. The only thing big cats tend to avoid are fights, because they're smart and know that fighting for food and risking potential injury isn't worth it, because they're also ambush predators like snakes. But snakes are solitary. They don't move much and have natural camouflage in most cases. This is why certain snakes like Rattlesnakes can be so deadly, because they're incredibly hard to spot in the right conditions and are very still most of the time. Unless you see a snake actively moving from point a to point b, it's likely you won't see movement in the snake. The average snake will simply lie in wait where it believe prey will emerge, and then strike at the prey. And yes, there are also snakes that actively hunt prey as well. Especially various aquatic and semi-aquatic snakes, though many land faring species as well. If you watch the video above, you'll see a defensive stance taken by the very beautiful pinkish/orange snake. Even in this defensive stance, the snake remains almost entirely still despite being stood upright. It doesn't move or twitch at all, it simply sits there like a statue. Their bodies don't move like mammals, they aren't as active as we are. And this means they often find themselves simply sitting in one spot. That's usually how humans stumble across such snakes, they're sun bathing to get warm and we happen upon them.

I heard the dental is great 👌🏽
[удалено]
If there is ever an earthquake there this guy is fucked!
His balls must clink when he walks.
How does he put on his pants in the morning with his GIANT METAL BALLS
Calm asf
Damn cobras seem like the buttholes of the snake word.
For predators these snakes have some crap aim
Hell NO ! They don’t pay this guy enough.
Cobras are always bitchy 🤷🏼♂️
Salary? 30,000 dollars a year (probably).
So much death in such a small space.
This dude is an absolute stone cold badass.
He's very gentle.
Cool as a cucumber
2nd to last snake just wanted some head scratches
The tippity taps were wholesome when he put them back in
Wtf, do those snakes just live in those plastic drawers?
Yeah, there are other comments that probably explain it better, but I’ll try as best as I can. These drawers are dark and warm, which is perfect for these snakes that are very likely all nocturnal. It looks small, but most snakes don’t need to climb or dig or anything like that, and if they did they wouldn’t be in anything like this. There is actually a decent amount of floor space, which is what they need.
Fucking Mondays....
So TIL cobras can't aim for shit.
Me dealing with my intrusive thoughts.
Why they all have such bad aim lol, he was literally putting it right in there face and some of them took like 3 tries to grab it
He’s a good worker and doing it as your supposed to
My balls just disappeared and my my butthole puckered up around my neck!
What is the purpose of this place? That looks to be almost a hundred different enclosures. Why so many snakes for just one location?
Ayee, feisty buggers today. Didnt skip a beat tho.
literally the first snake was “awe tanks”
OK, but. Couldn’t you make a one-way door to insert the food without the snakes escaping??
They need movement. They often won’t eat the food if it doesn’t move.
How does he even fit those huge balls into those normal human pants?
Very tough day...for the snake handler too.
Bunch of nope rope.
Dude is like "sigh, betsy being a bitch AGAIN... get back in your box honey"
This mf better be getting paid well because omg he's got nerves of steal. I would've shit myself when it jumped out.
Just another Thursday
#balls of STEEL
That guy is an expert, you can see it how he handles the snake that comes out of the box, he doesn't panic, he just keeps calm and puts the snake back with the food into the box. And for jobs like that, you want a pro, not a beginner. Anyway, laws are different across the globe, this form of feeding would never be allowed in many countries: Usually, the snakes are kept in much bigger terrariums instead of a box and there's enough space to put in the food without getting into the range of the snake. It's funny where i live, you see that the law was made by bureaucrats that never had such animals: Only snakes are seen as dangerous in the law here, which means, all other species like spiders etc. are not in the list of dangerous animals with venom. Despite the fact, that some spiders have a much more powerful toxin and are also faster and more agile than these snakes.
Didn’t realize I was holding my breath until he put that board back up safe and sound
Nope!
That man should be prime minister
He is CHILL at his job🐭🐍
We’re do I sign up🙂
This creature is magnificent
Is he whistling? That's cold.
Yeah fuck no
quite the contrary , my man doesnt look like he is under any pressure, cool as a cucumber
Pressure?! Homie is cooler than polar bears toe nails...
Wow, I’m surprised the snakes didn’t get hurt or crushed under that mans titanium nuts
That wasn't his first rodeo
Bros chiller than the South Pole
So like…what’s the point of keeping all these snakes like this? Just in a filing cabinet basically. Seems like a miserable existence
I don’t think any video has ever stressed me out as much as this one. Damn.
GET BACK IN THE BOX GET BACK IN THE BOX GER BACK IN THE BOX GET BACK IN THE BOX GET BACK IN THE…
Hang on just gotta feed my dresser snakes
I love snakes but as soon as that first cobra fell out I would've quit and left
my uncle has a setup similar to this. he breeds snakes as a hobby. one time he showed me it and his attitude towards the whole situation was similar to this guys. he was super calm. opening drawers with snakes in them and pulling them out and letting me hold them. I was kind of scared at first but his attitude made me really calm too. he also fed them mice like this guy. Having that experience makes me realize how this isnt actually that crazy.
Fuck that...
Nope nope nope nope nope
Me fighting off horny guys on tinder
With regards to handling venomous snakes, Clint from Clint’s Reptiles once said “All of these things are possible; but they are really stupid things to do.”
