Episode #1095: Cantils, Baby Feeding, and March Palm Viper

Keeping venomous reptiles is a relentless hobby that requires proper training and a lot of experience. A simple mistake can be the difference between life and death. Remember that the most poisonous snake in the world is the one that just bit you. There are no venomous snakes with training wheels just for the sake of it. You see that Viper Keeper handles snakes in a certain way, it doesn't mean you should try it too, okay, these are the GL climbers, usually, these guys are. I have been

feeding

pretty well and actually climbed through the window to feed. uh wow, this is getting a little too close for comfort, but not nowadays, they're pretty big snakes and they're quickly outgrowing their little huts, but you know, as long as they fit, they sit and they actually prefer it when it's. really cozy, yeah, and you know, like I said, I prefer not to disturb the animal unless absolutely necessary, because in the end, these are not really pets, they are wild animals, they can be bred in captivity, but I never refer to them like pets because, uh. they don't really fit into that classification and here's the other hello oh who okay that's what usually happens with these guys, they have a tendency to lunge and if they're curled up inside the glass that's an interesting

feeding

experience and, Unlike my younger self, if we go back to some of the previous videos, I took a lot more risks to get very close and interesting shots, but I'm no longer interested in taking unnecessary risks just to get views um uh end up in the emergency room from the hospital uh it's not something I want and also uh it's worse for Mrs.

Vik Keeper than it is for me uh because it stresses her out because she cares a lot about me so we're being very careful with animals, uh, as time goes by and We don't want to set a bad example, okay, um, the last time I was here, he grabbed a piece of substrate and not the gecko and then when I was forced to grab him and rip him off. the piece of substrate that came out of his mouth was hurt and he didn't eat so let's see if he's interested in eating where he's hiding that's the problem with this guy that's why I call him a sandworm like the creatures from uh Dune or that uh science fictional show we watched the other day oh Tremors Tremors you never know where it's going to appear, if it's going to appear right now, we have to do some research, did I wake you up or are you here in a shed?

I didn't mean for BP in the head, oh, okay, well, I'm not going, you have the tail, but not the bug, no, you, RI, take off the tail, okay, I'm not going after him because I'll let him figure it out and see if he comes back for the rest or not, he came up short, well you know he was held up and if you're held up sometimes you don't get what you get or you don't get what you need okay so The next one is this remaining June, born younger. Island Pit Viper's son still doesn't want to eat geckos, sorry, he doesn't want to eat mice, but he likes to eat geckos, so he didn't eat anything last week, so he's nice and hungry, these other ones, these other guys, uh .

Well, actually I fed the wrong one, uh, wow, so okay, we'll be missing one, but okay, that's the mouse's pain, so hopefully he won't want geckos again after that, yeah , okay, so it was this one. you go there we go close that up H who's going to fall short Change well, we're certainly going to try these babies uh eus this way, I don't have to wrap my little fingers around their little heads and take the opportunity to get bits, like this that we have some very small geckos to prove it, so let's go with the smallest one if we can find it and not upset it, hopefully it's still there, yeah, there it is small, oh my goodness, look how small, small, small. oh, this is going to be a big meal for you oh, you're interested, oh, but that's a very big meal, Mr.

Viper, well, also a big camera lens that might be scaring you a little, so we're leaving. that may eat it, you may not even be able to fit it all in, um, that one may need some cannula feeding for a while, that was the race to the litter, these other guys aren't very big either now they eat small invertebrates when they don't. they're that size, so they say, "Well, this is a gecko, it's not a centipede or a

baby

scorpion, but again I'm going to leave this behind and hope it decides to eat it now for the last one.

I think these are it." Some of the smaller geckos I have in stock, so you'll have to make do. This one is true, yes, oh, and this one has a breakout, the other one hasn't come off yet, oh, we have a strike out. of that excellent one okay the first

baby

moves in okay so there's not a lot of excitement here but we'll see if they eat or not so it's at least encouraging that he attacked it you know those are usually the ones that they survive. do very well, yes usually that's it or a little race to the litter may have to be fed kangala and idiot, yes he hasn't come back yet, yes we specialize in dumb snakes so instead of two I have one that I have.

I'll feed one of the baby Rockets across the way, maybe later I'll move him around the cage and see if he's interested. Rocket you're in the shed huh you're trying to get a good soak that's the

march

viper

we rarely see it because it prefers to stay in its cabin and usually only eats live things oh look at that what are you trying to take from me there, friend? That was horrible, you see him shaking his head and stuff, he's not interested in that, he's dead, he's dead, yeah. It's a shame we can't see it. He has such a beautiful color.

It looks pretty green, but there are little blue flakes everywhere. Simply spectacular, yes, and it rarely comes out during the day and sits or she sits on the upper branches. Apparently it has a proper temperature balance down there, does it need the sun? Is that how it works. I offer that they don't want it, we will have to wait because every two weeks we feed live.
