- Oh, my God! (bold orchestral music)
No, no, no, no!
Whoo hoo hoo!
It's the puff adder.
This will literally, whoa!
(intense music)
It's impressive!
- Holy cow, did you see that?
Today, we're gonna be visiting my friend
in South Africa, Dingo Dinkleman.
- It's the puff adder!
- And reacting to his most deadly snakes on the planet.
- Dingo here, and welcome to the room tour.
First snake in our tour is one
of the most notorious snakes in all the world,
one of the most deadly, one of the most dangerous.
It's the East African green mamba.
But in my opinion,
one of the most beautiful.
Look how it loves climbing.
It's climbing back up on my arm.
How's this snake here?
Climbing up on my arm.
This snake is better looking
than a 18-year-old supermodel.
He's absolutely gorgeous. - What?
- What does that even mean? - You got the beautiful,
yellow scales, have a look at the yellow scale over there.
They've got beautiful blue on them sometimes
and they're one of the most magnificent climbers
you'll find anywhere in the world.
I'll bring it right out to your camera
so you can be right in the action with woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
- Green Mambas are absolutely amazing
and he is such a pro at this,
it just makes it look like anyone could do it.
- But don't.
- Next up, we've got this snake here, the Mangshan viper.
- Some of my favorites. - One of the rarest species
of snakes in the world.
Only 300 of them left in the wild.
Now this snake, massive fangs,
and no anti-venom found anywhere
on the planet apart from the snake, especially
in my face which is pretty close
to the snake now, will kill me 100% of the time.
- Sounds good, why don't we handle it more?
- Yeah, let's just keep going.
- Did you see the Tyler Noland video?
- He almost just died.
- And some of the biggest fangs you'll find anywhere
in the world.
Massive white mouth, he's lining you up now on camera.
The Mangshan viper, one of the most beautiful, rarest
and magnificent vipers found anywhere in the world.
And what collection would be complete
without one of the prettiest snakes in the world
and one of the most impressive?
The Gaboon viper.
- The Gaboon!
- [Brian] The Gaboon!
- It's got the biggest yield of venom up
to seven and a half mls of venom in one body.
And it's got a terrific far strike.
But, since I was four years old,
I've fallen in love with Gaboon vipers.
Look at them, huffy, puffy just like the puff adder.
But look how pretty they are.
They're like the more chilled out, prettier cousin
of the puff adder.
The puff adder is the ugly, bite-y one.
This is the more chilled out, beautiful one.
Look at her, she's calmed down.
You'll see, she's a girl, look at her tail.
She got a short little tail.
She's a bit big in the toilet area,
but I just think that adds to the cuteness.
The Gaboon viper, what a magnificent snake.
And as you can see, even though we're pushing our luck
with the snake, look how reluctant to bite.
It's put its head right on top of the glove.
- That snake would bite through that glove.
- No biting, woo-hoo, Gaboon viper!
- Dingo, you might have that beautiful Gaboon viper
or what you call, "The Gaboon!"
We got one of these rhino vipers.
Come on, show 'em the fangs, show 'em the fangs.
So these ones are at least two inches long, massive!
Yeah, 16 biggest venom yield of any snake on the planet.
- Oi, these'll strike so fast,
it'll make your chutney tunnel tighten up
more than (indistinct).
- Just when you thought
it couldn't get any better than that,
here we have the most toxic venomous snake found anywhere
on the planet-
- He takes the gloves off for the most toxic.
- Her name is Sheila, she comes from Australia.
She's also known, whoo, as the fierce snake.
One bite from this snake will kill 250,000 mice,
or 100 adult human beings my size-
- How do they know 250,000 mice?
- Toxic snake, and one you don't wanna get a bite from
but I think one of the most pretty snakes you get anywhere
in Australia, look at the yellow underneath the snake.
No, no, no, no, no, right at my hand, there.
Look how beautiful and yellow she is underneath,
as yellow as a canary's bum, woo-hoo!
- Canary's bum?
- They're so small, how do you see a canary's bum?
Isn't it amazing?
What a beautiful, beautiful face
and very long venom glands.
Don't look at me.
She's got massive long venom glands and quite long fangs
on the front of her mouth.
That's how she envenomates her prey.
She lives in the middle of the desert.
She envenomates those rodents really quickly
and they die super fast.
- I've had the pleasure of handling inland taipan
and coastal taipans are even more mental.
Although inlands have the most potent venom
of any land snake, coastals are more like black mambas
and super (indistinct).
- Here's the snake that kills more people
in South America than any other.
It's the fer-de-lance or the lancehead.
How's about this snake?
This is only like four- - How's about that snake?
- Now what I have to be careful of, these snakes go
from zero to hero in a matter of seconds.
It'll come right from there and bite me on the face.
I've seen them take off and land six feet away.
That's how dangerous these snakes are.
They've got massive heat pits,
look underneath those eyes.
Whoo!
Between the eye and the nose,
there are some serious heat pits
which are gonna bring up warm-blooded prey like my face.
This snake over here- (group laughing)
- Talking about getting bit in the face a lot.
- Will never bite anything else except
for human being or a rodent
because he knows exactly where they are.
They've got massive fangs.
- Look at those heat pits.
- I'm gonna show you the fangs of the fer-de-lance.
Wow, super, super-
- What is he doing?
- Woo, and you can see the strength
and the speed from this snake over here.
The massive fangs of the fer-de-lance.
(Dingo shrieking)
- Oh my gosh, do you see those fangs?
- Those are not bigger than the Gaboon?
- No, Gaboons are bigger.
- What I'm doing now, look at the hook stick.
I'm just balancing it there to keep-
- Oh, it just got sprayed with venom.
- Dropped an old fang.
So they're like shark, these snakes.
They drop their old fangs
and I wanna get that fang out of its mouth.
It's absolutely massive.
How's the size of that fang over there?
Makes your chutney tunnel just go, (smacks lips),
really, really quickly.
Trying to find...
- What is he doing?
- Fang, I'll put it on my hand in a moment.
The fang of the fer-de-lance, woo!
That'll give you an idea of how frightening-
- He pulled the fang out. - This snake is
when he bites you. - Of its throat.
- It's a pogo stick with fangs
and the venom will rot your leg right off.
Now if you think that's impressive, wait
until you see what I've got in store for you later.
- That was so insane to see that snake fang shed like that.
And that's right,
venomous snakes actually will shed their fangs off
and grow new ones.
To see that like that, absolutely ridiculous.
- For the next snake, double glove time, baby!
It's a West African banded cobra, woo-hoo-hoo!
- What the heck?
- African banded cobra, one of the bitiest
and quickest snakes you find anywhere on the planet,
I just wanna get your tail.
He's not letting me get at his, no, no, no, no, no!
- What is that? - They're excellent climbers.
Look at this, this is why I have two gloves.
Look at him climb it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
Are you gonna bite?
Yep, 100%, you're gonna bite.
(Dingo shrieking)
How's the snake?
He's on fire today.
Now, these cobras are-
- He's agile for a guy of his size, you know what I mean?
- I don't recommend- - He's used to doing that.
- These snakes, as you can see, they work you out.
Tremendously clever, went at me again.
- Would you do this? - No.
- Stop it, stop it! - Not with that snake.
- Don't open your mouth at me, my boy! (Dingo whistling)
Now we got him on the wrong side of the hook stick.
This is not how you use a hook stick.
- He's got the wrong side of the hook.
- What an amazing cobra.
- There you go, spin it!
- Cobras, you find anywhere, uh-uh, stop, in the world.
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Doesn't listen, not listening.
- This is just what he does on normal day.
- This is like an ordinary day.
- I'm gonna bring him into the camera here,
leave those fingers out the way.
Where's that freaking banded cobra?
He's coming right at you, and now...
(group chuckling)
Doesn't everyone want to have a snake like this
in their collection?
- I just love how much fun he has.
I'm going over to visit Dingo in April
and I cannot wait to get a really good lesson
to hold venomous snakes like this.
I mean, that banded cobra was absolutely ridiculous
and he's just able to handle it so freely.
I wanna make sure that I can spend time
with Dingo so that he can help me
with my venomous snake handling skills
so I can be as comfortable as him.
- One of the craziest mambas in the world,
the West African green mamba or the Wafrican.
- The Wafrican? - This snake can go
form zero to hero in just a fresh young...
Look at the strength of it, standing up like that.
Now he wants to fight.
- That's aggressive. - Mamba, away from me.
These snakes from West Africa are probably
the second, deadliest mamba in the world,
and in my opinion,
probably the second most difficult to handle.
What you wanna do is, give it opportunities to climb.
So I'm gonna let it climb out
towards the camera if it will.
Now it's gonna climb up, oh, no, no, no!
Snakes or your finger moves-
- Look at this, look at this, look at this.
- Woo, hard to fly like an eagle
when your surrounded by turkeys.
I'm in the strike range (group laughing)
of the snake, 100%.
And I'm a bit stuck
because if I move, I'm gonna freak the snake out.
Right, on your toes.
- He's dancing. - Right on your toes!
The West African green mamba!
(Dingo exhaling)
- Let's see how the boys would handle deadly snakes.
We're gonna start with this, go ahead.
Go for it!
- He's fast, you know, they move around.
So agile, I lost my shoe!
You know what?
It's good, we're just kidding,
gonna lose both shoes, and not dangerous or anything.
Woo, he almost got me there, right?
So fast, look at this, woo!
Oh, thanks for the gloves, Noah.
If I'm not careful,
this little monkey here, is gonna come back,
bite me right in the face and you're gonna be dead
in less than two minutes.
Don't wanna get bit in the face.
- And what would a room tour be like
without one of the most magnificent snakes anywhere
in the planet?
The black-headed bushmaster,
his tail is reverberating right in my hand there.
Come a little bit closer.
He's tracking you with those big heat pits.
They have such bad venom, 80% of the people
that get bitten by the snake
and receive anti-venom, still die.
That's how bad the snake was.
I know of someone who was bitten-
- I don't want one of those.
- That's good odds.
- On the floor, vomiting with diarrhea
at the same time, dribbly bum and mock charging, same time.
They really-
- Did he say dribbly bum?
- They're known in South America as the silent killer.
It's because they're super elusive.
They're actually the longest viper, found anywhere
in the world, the bushmaster family.
And this snake here, has got fangs
that are about this big,
and it's only a five-year-old snake.
Be very careful, and this little tail here,
they'll rattle it in the leaves
just like a rattle snake, they'll go (vocalizes)
to alert predators.
They'll make themselves look as scary as possible
and if that doesn't work, they'll lunge their body forward.
They'll shoot out 3/4 of the size their body
and they'll tag you right in the face,
drive their hypodermic needle-like fang straight
into your flesh and envenomate you
with a concoction of hematoxin, cytotoxins, coyotoxins
that'll kill you super, super fast.
Even though he's coiled up,
he's actually quite a long snake.
Look at me boy, don't turn back at me.
That's what he's trying to do now. He's turning back at me.
But look, he's a good six foot of snake, already,
and he's only five years old.
He will grow really, really big.
The blackheaded bushmaster.
- The thing about pit vipers like bushmasters is
that they seem a little bit more docile
because they're not whipping around like a cobra in our lap.
But the fact is, is that they strike super quick
and when they strike, they hit you, it is not good news.
Like he had mentioned, 80% of people even
with antivenin, don't even make it through it.
So that animal is one dangerous snake.
- It's the puff adder,
one of the fastest, strongest snakes on the planet!
One of the most, if not the most tissue-destructive animals
found anywhere in the world.
This will literally, whoa!
And you can see their personality is wild.
He will bite you first- - I love how
they like go, (shrieks). - And ask questions later.
They bite a tremendous amount of people in Africa.
They are really, really special snakes.
They've got huge fangs.
- It has the juice.
- Hey, calm down, not 'cause I'm talking softer,
he can't hear me.
But he's got fangs about this long
and he will drive those fangs into your body.
It will literally melt the flesh off your body.
You're gonna die from gangrene-
- He's making these snakes sound so fun.
- You have amputations, you're gonna have all kinds
of stuff when that puff adder comes and bites you.
He can be super,
grumpy. (upbeat music)
Really grumpy, in fact, he'll strike
before asking questions.
Has a sound coming out of him, (hisses).
And that's saying, "Get away!
I'm a puff adder, I will bite you."
(Dingo shrieking)
Bite, bite, bite, the African puff adder!
- Puffies are absolutely amazing,
the fastest striking snake on the planet.
Them and the death adders literally, can strike so fast
that you can hardly even see it.
If you ever see a puff adder strike
in slow motion, it's ridiculous.
In literally less than a second, they go
from sitting still to striking,
to sitting still again in a blink of an eye.
- You might think your ball python's are nice hybrids.
I've got over here, the albino white-lipped tree viper.
- Oh, these are cool. - That's pretty.
- These are cool.
- It's also quite a bite-y snake.
So you have to be super careful
when you're working with them.
If I had a glove off now
and I could see my heat signature, whamo!
- Whamo.
- And now it's time
for the big guns, the king cobra (chuckles).
- Was that Thor?
(mellow music)
- King cobras are the biggest venomous snakes
you find anywhere in the world.
And this is my big boy Thor, have a go
at how big and impressive this snake is-
- Can't wait to play with that.
You gonna play with that when you go there?
- Hell no. - He's probably 14-foot
of king cobra, they're my favorite snakes, you find anywhere
in the world, they're super intelligent.
But every time you're working
with a big king cobra like this,
you are risking your life.
Fortunately, they are such well mannered snakes
that they choose not to bite us.
They know I'm not a threat.
This snake, I've never hurt him before.
I've always carried him and worked with him as slowly
and as relaxed as I possibly can.
But having said this, a snake this big, if he was
to bite down on you, he's gonna absolutely-
- Oh, around his neck, woo-hoo-hoo.
- Look at the size of it!
That's what I'm trying to show you here.
He's like a python with a hood.
(group laughing)
Like a hippo in summer working with these massive, big
and leopards and he's got my leg.
- But who do you think is bigger, Thor or Kevin?
- Kevin.
Deadly fer-de-lance.
Noah, you left a snake out.
- Talking about king cobras,
this over here is Thor's first ever baby, Goldie.
First king cobra ever bred in South Africa.
She's a feisty, feisty snake!
Woo-hoo-hoo, that's how quick they can be.
She's pretending she's not seeing us.
But watch what'll happen.
- She's smart.
- Woo!
King cobras, you gotta love them.
- The king of all snakes,
I've always told you guys,
if I ever was gonna get venomous snakes
for the reptar, the first snake I'd probably get
is a king cobra.
I absolutely love 'em, cannot wait
to go play with Thor here in April.
- Next snake.
You gotta focus, look at it, a little bit of trembles there.
It's the West African forest cobra.
Now the hardest thing with these snakes is-
- Oh, this one's rough, man.
- Enclosure, woo!
- Why does Africa have so many deadly snakes?
- And this here, is
of our big male West African forest cobras.
He's a beautiful snake.
He's actually pretty well behaved as well.
He's only gone at me once or twice in the enclosure.
These are the longest true cobras you find anywhere
in the world, 'cause a king cobra is not a true cobra.
How's this guy?
Big, he's impressive.
And he'll bite me for free.
Whoa, don't open your mouth at me, buddy boy.
He's actually still quite a well behaved forest cobra.
Talking about dangerous snakes, this over here is Stormy.
This is Shadow's girlfriend, look at her.
Now the reason she's so dangerous is she's so quick.
Woo, hello Stormy, my girl, she-
- These are dangerous. - On another level.
In terms of handling!
Did you see that? Went straight for my hand there.
Look at the personality.
Fortunately, when we got them out here,
they wanna get away
from us into these other enclosures.
But you could see there,
when she came straight up
at me, West African forest cobras, ooh!
Oh, not a snake,
I recommend everybody keeps in their personal collection
because look at her, she's pooing on me.
That's why you mustn't keep them
in your personal collection.
No, that's not the only reason.
It's because they're super venomous,
they're super fast and they'll bite you
for free if given half the chance.
West Africa forest cobra.
- Forest cobras, they scare the hell outta me.
- And I've saved the best for last.
It's the one, it's the only,
it's the most infamous notorious snake found anywhere
on the planet, it's the-
- [SpongeBob] Alaskan bull worm!
- The black mamba.
Now, Kobe is a captive, bred black mamba.
I still don't trust him though.
Hold still now, he's a...
What a climber, this snake can be!
And he has a super potent, neurotoxic venom-
- Mambas are so amazing.
- Black mambas
in my book, are the most dangerous snake you find anywhere
in the world because you are always within the strike zone.
Look, he's coming off the edge of the hook.
Look at that, look what he's doing
with his tail on my back, trying
to wrap me with his tail.
Now I'm not holding him
in a very good position compared to how I would hold-
- That's crazy!
- A normal, wild black mamba.
Wild black mamba, you can never hold like this,
he'll bite you right in the face.
And Kobe is capable of doing that-
- That thing'll come at you in a second if you let it.
- If I take him here, he's gonna climb out
towards the enclosure.
That's what I wanna do with a snake like this.
He's still a youngster.
He's about three years old.
Look at the size of the snake.
The second longest venomous snake in the planet.
Here's the problem though, the fifth most toxic
and in my opinion, the most quick-acting venom
of all the deadly snakes in the world.
I've seen this snake put down a rat in a matter of seconds.
Two, three seconds, rat's dead.
It just acts really fast on mammals.
When I was bitten by a black mamba in 2003,
I was completely paralyzed after 10 minutes.
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk.
The black mamba, the quickest moving snakes in the world,
the most aggressive snakes in the world,
and a snake that will bite you repeatedly
if it gets given the chance.
There's nothing more fear-inducing
in the world than coming face-to-fang
with a wild black mamba.
Now what would the room of death be like
if I didn't have the biggest
and the baddest in here as well
of the non-venomous variety?
And that's the green anaconda.
And of course, the longest snake
in the world, the reticulated python.
- Dingo is absolutely amazing.
Gotta go check his content out.
I'll put a link in the description.
Show him love, he does content like this every single day
which is just absolutely wild.
And with that said, I'm outta here.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist

You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also, hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day, Reptile Army, remember...
- Can someone get the snake off me?
Oh, why do I do these things for Barczyk?
