Episode #1097: Palm Viper Cage Change & Hangry Death Adders.

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. If you see that the

viper

keeper handles snakes a certain way, it doesn't mean you should try it too. Well that's the march

viper

, we rarely see it because it prefers to stay in its hut and usually only eats live things. Oh, look at that.

Are you trying to give me that buddy? That was horrible. You see him shake his head and stuff. He's not interested in that. He is dead. He is dead. Yes, it's a shame we can't see it here. He has such a beautiful color. It looks quite green. but there are little blue scales everywhere, just spectacular, yes, and he rarely comes out during the day and sits or she sits on the upper branches. He apparently he has a proper temperature balance down there. Do you need the sun? So that's just the That's right, I offer you don't want it, you'll have to wait, because every two weeks we feed something live, the snake that we don't see very often, March's friend, Viper MRI, just Mary Mari, um, he or she is.

Moving down the hallway, so the first thing we do is try to get the furniture out without dropping it. You can stand there and observe that while I put the hut in the

cage

, you are not used to this, most of the time you are left alone. Of the times you like to hide there it's a shame because you're very pretty, it's very pretty, very nice tweezers, uh, Viper Keeper edition, uh, from the Midwest tweezers that also has a light mounted to catch snakes in the dark, uh and surfing or you go after Wy creatures here in the lair so this is a more tropical snake and I want to move it to a more tropical room hopefully it will behave well no more come on oh you're in a bad mood you're in bad mood, no.

I want to go out I think we need don't make me put it in you the tail is pulled out well look how beautiful this snake is unfortunately she doesn't really like to go out and visit she likes to climb the hook apparently if you go to stay there I'll use the hook on the other side so let's go to her new

cage

in the main room, dismantling that old Neisha cage, now she wants to go out and play, yeah well your furniture is there so you can go and hide there. It's hard for me to decide if he's a man or a woman.

I think he is a woman because of his attitude. That's your hiding place, which you almost never leave, but you have a new tree to climb. You'll probably never go up unless it's in the middle of the night, when I don't bother you. You can see why I don't necessarily bother with it because it's pretty gross. Palm Viper from March, another wonderful boop from Central America that will bite the snot that comes out of you and makes you lose pieces of meat because the venom is rich in snake venom metalloproteases, so with that we will move on to what we have to do next, someone is excited to get something to eat.

I love how they've always done it. a little piece of substrate on their head, uh, uh, to camouflage them, although it doesn't really work very well, but it's funny, they will almost always have substrate on their head, you're very excited, I can see you inching forward, well, these. The kids they know feed every two weeks, so he's hungry. I'm trying to see if I can get it to C. A decoy, but their tail may be something, they usually keep their tail close to their head and I'm not trying to get it. My hand is too close to the end of the cage because they can miss the target and extend to the edge of the cage.

Will we at least have a happy

death

afterwards? No, it doesn't look like it, how disappointing, no, oh, there we go, there's a couple of those. retarded, yeah, okay, so let's feed her sister up here, now this one is more likely to attract the cotal, yeah, I just want to keep my fingers in the door, your tail is on the way back, right is that so? No, not "attract you today" God, I'm not playing, just giving me my food for a moment, uh, happy death with it, I'm very happy camper, for something very good, I didn't use my fingers to open that glass because the badass Death Adder decided to bounce. here to the glass, okay, can you give me back my thongs, please, oh, well, that's going to be difficult?

Sorry, sorry, that's unfortunate. Sorry, maybe you'll eat it anyway, sometimes things just don't happen. the way you wait for them is also good, I hope this one goes better. I grabbed the chick by the leg, which gives the snake a clear shot toward the body. This is a smooth death adder. The death

adders

have run a muuk this week. This one attacked the glass when I reach my hand out it's like I haven't fed them in months they just didn't eat a week ago they just skipped a week would you like that huh come on you're making it hard to photograph here there Go away happy now oh yeah a happy Death Viper.

Can I leave this behind? Wow, here we go, very happy, death after one more pizza. Here we go, well, at least I made one of them happy. Wow, the Death Vipers were really uh. We're unusually cranky today, we have cotal lures and since she's pretty excited about it, I'm not going to open that window with my fingers. Oh wow, is she excited? "Of course, they're using her tail to imitate a little worm." or a lizard in the grass and they are trying to attract it to grab it like this, we have a happy death after it seems that we had a red pimin, a happy death with it, yes, we have a happy death with it, although it is not a very lush one , you're doing good, girl, uh, she was born in June 2016 here in her sister's den, uh, a cage under which we're going to feed next, getting some more happy-death idiots, okay, this one It's going to be hard to look, yeah, he's often in his little ah, but his head is pointing outwards and he's not too far from the edge of the logs, so he'll probably go out and grab this, yeah, there it is, here, We are not going to a happy death with her. no, "lure, but at least she got fed.

You know, I just feed these guys with my eyes every two weeks so she can be happy, happy, happy and hang out on her log and that's the whole show of her today apparently now at the bottom here we are you have another pipu and Death Adder from the dry side of puua and go and Jawa now with this one you have to be careful This is a badass Death Adder even more than the other two characters because. this uh uh will come right uh away the window in Pursuit Of Prey and she gives things a much more solid punch than the others This animal was bred by my friend, Dr.

Bob Henderson, who unfortunately is no longer with us. , but his animal is still alive. I have no success finding a male to breed her um, I'm not sure if my friends at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo have males of this genus and species available, but I would certainly like to carry on Bob's lineage, So we'll let her have dinner and close the door so we can be safe once again.
