hello everyone and welcome back everyone
seems to be super interested with super
dwarf reticulated pythons and calypso is
slowly becoming everyone's favorite
lately so I figured let's let's dive
into that a little bit more if you enjoy
learning about reptiles and having a
good laugh what are you waiting for hit
that subscribe button smash it right now
and don't forget to smash it nice
calypso is a wonderful snake she's
actually one of my favorite snakes
despite her being a little maybe bitey
she's just did a few people I just got
bit by a seven-foot snake and that's
what it looks like so it really isn't
that bad I have to make sure that I hold
her every day
and if I hold her every day then
hopefully eventually she'll stop biting
me but for now she's a very strange
snake because she acts like everything
is normal she doesn't show aggression
she doesn't like seem like she's really
scared and then out of nowhere she'll
just bite me ya see but she just bit me
and I'm holding her and usually when a
snake bites in the awful them anyways
just so that they don't learn that they
can bite me and get put away should
never reward bad behavior with snakes or
with children now you can really see
it'll be healed in like a week
but you don't even really even notice it
and I don't I'm not really sure why
maybe she's a little bit scared but
that's what I think it is one time I was
walking with her
and my brother was walking in front of
me and she bit him that's about your
near-death experience refine the model
business and the snake came from behind
away show us your scar
[Music]
I asked them to show me the Stars Lisa
it's not bad that like a week ago in the
back and my buddy Carlos was holding her
for just a bit and he wiggled his thumb
and she bit his thumb why don't you tell
us the story story guard emotionally and
I'm not going to tell her we find you so
much your your stars didn't do anything
the snake bit him and he was just like
and it's ready to kill you I'm a
snakebite survivor the snakebite
survivor don't make fun of me I am you
for two days and then Calypso no I don't
like to glorify being bitten either it's
just something that happens and to me
it's something that doesn't really
matter if I get bit while working with
her like I'm choosing to work with her
if I like she's one of my favorite
stakes despite being bit by her a few
times and now that you look you saw
before the other day she struck at the
thing like she's very aware of like
what's going on but she's not striking
now because it's not feeding day it was
feeding day that day so now the way that
you treat a snake like this you can't be
scared I can't open this and be like oh
no she's got nobody Hey
I have to be like you know what maybe
she'll bite me today maybe she won't
either way it doesn't really matter I
want to work with her I want to hold her
more I want to get to the point where
everything can be good and she made a
piece so this is the perfect time to
take her out and bring her home I do my
best to give them enough space where
they can go where it's long where they
can go where it's cold
most importantly I make sure that they
are clean now actually look at this Gaga
it's in the mood to go and Gaga is
actually the snake that has bitten me
more than all my other sinks whoo well
but she's getting better the last few
times I've taken her out she didn't bite
me Alex
yeah why don't you tell us about your
snake bite experience was over once
before and I think it was this snake
that was a little excited that day just
clipped me on my hand but I know your
hand is playing with her again yeah yeah
so how bad was the damage it you barely
feel that you only see a tiny little
mark and you're fine well that's so nice
to hear because
Oh says that like it was a near-death
experience I went for the vinegar you
went for the vinegar by the time we -
screaming a little girl
[Applause]
maybe though Carmelo's oh boy yeah my
kid bit in the neck right now but did
you feel like it was a near-death
experience no it was interesting he
wasn't looking that bad oh you're very
good you show a bit of luck no I looked
it felt like good I felt her smelling my
neck and she's holding onto her stick
again so I'm just gonna leave her alone
but I spent a lot of time holding all
these different snakes that lots of
people say you can't hold a week at
night and usually hunting for food and
if you try to handle them then they're
much more likely to strike we actually
tried filming this last night about an
hour and a half before their lights went
out so we thought it'd be okay but they
knew their life cycle and they were
already starting to get a little bit
testy you always hear people say you
can't grab green tree pythons especially
not at night
I'm reach-in well green tree python and
they're gonna go right for the face
Pet it say hi and yeah it doesn't really
like that that much but we're still okay
and I can hold her and I gotta grab the
other green tree python nighttime there
she is
and see that see the behavior and these
are snakes that most of the time people
say you can't really do that with I can
reach in any time day night right after
feeding them whenever and I spend quite
a bit of time with all of my snakes from
the time they're born to make sure that
they're pretty tame now with Calypso too
strange she behaved totally fine and
then later as she got older she got a
little bit more bite you hereby you
there and I don't really know why I
don't feel like she's scared lots of the
time it's important that when you're
like what I just did there that was
disrespectful I'm not gonna go and
behave the same way I did with those
green tree pythons with GLIP so I'm not
just gonna go reach in and grab her like
because it's disrespectful and I could
get bit and if I did get bit it would
really be my own fault I could have been
more cautious I could have you know been
careful I could have touched them with a
stick or something and let them know hey
I'm coming to get you I didn't have to
just go reach in and grab them Calypso
I'm gonna give her a little bit more
extra respect we're gonna open up her
home and now you're probably hoping I'm
gonna get bit anyways because it's more
entertaining I don't want to get bit I
never want to get bit if I do get bit
sometimes I really don't care it's not a
big deal it seems to be a bigger deal to
everyone else than it is to me at the
same time I don't want people to see
bite videos or snakes being defensive
and then it going around and then people
saying oh you're crazy keeping these
animals I know everyone you love is
having your death experience they're
gonna die talking to you that sometimes
people see that like they'll see the
strength that Calypso striked at the
cage when it was feeding days so she
could smell the rats and stuff I try and
keep the rats outside of the room when
I'm feeding them but now she's behaving
pretty calmly she's aware of me but
she's not it's not scared or anything so
we should have a nice experience but
right now it's open she's wondering
what's going on is she going to be fed
what's happening like no tongue flicks
right now so who knows is she gonna
lunge out at me she might so I'm gonna
kind of touch her and say hey I want you
to know that right now I'm taking you
out we're gonna play a bit and we're
gonna have a nice experience and
hopefully you're not gonna bite me but
see she is behaving a little bit a
little bit twitchy and whatever and I'm
gonna holder and we should be okay I
always reach for underneath
it's not good to come at them from above
and once once you know you're gonna take
them out you have to be sure like you
have to grab her and say okay we're
taking you out now if I get scared and I
don't really take her out then she
starts wondering what the heck is going
on right I don't want to scare her so
there you can see I took her out didn't
get bit
she didn't even strike she didn't lunge
and I'm still gonna keep her away from
my face and if she's like started
heading towards my body in a nasty way
you can turn them and by turning them it
kind of throws off there
throws off there I don't know what it
does it throws off their thoughts throws
off their balance but it doesn't really
scare them it just seems to kind of like
okay we're gonna do something else so
Calypso made a nice little pea and now
I'm gonna clean her home but before
cleaning our home I'm just gonna hang
out with her a bit and we're just gonna
spend a bit of time together and get to
know each other a bit now the number one
thing that I like to do that helps
containing snakes is playing with their
faces now Calypso I don't play with her
face because when I have tried to play
with her face she's bit my finger so I
just kind of hold her we hang out and
let her do kind of what she wants to do
but just have some time together
so that she can realize that I don't
want to hurt her nothing bad is gonna
happen with me and everything's gonna be
okay
it's just like when you get to meet
someone sometimes you know at first you
don't know what kind of person they are
they gonna be a good friend do they like
you beginning of relationships does she
really love me she gonna cheat on me
you know insecurities and all that so if
we feel that with our complex brains and
everything how do you think how do you
think they feel with their little
pea-sized brains I've been looking at my
analytics and my analytics seem to tell
me that I have a whole pile of 25 to 35
year old men watching my channel No
Limit or anything this might not be true
who knows but I understand what it's
like to be a young guy lots of the time
we're lazy well okay now I'm
stereotyping I can't say anything well
I'm not lazy Carolina monkey takes a lot
of work and effort now I'm defending
myself
so anyways all I'm saying is all whores
you you would subscribe if you're not
subscribed click that subscribe button
why because I entertain you because I
make an effort to be educational and to
tell you things kind of a different way
I don't do things I do things how I'm
supposed to do like I keep the snakes
healthy feed them all and everything but
I do some things a little bit
differently and some people appreciate
that and some people don't
I'm always willing to listen to what
people have to say whether it's things I
agree with or disagree with now if
somebody starts telling you things that
I totally disagree with or just what I'm
gonna do
I'll probably just keep doing those
things because I have no reason to
change if somebody gives me a good
reason to change or adjust or do things
differently then I'm happy to do that
too like it's all about changing and
adjusting and getting better I get
uncomfortable in front of the camera I'm
just like it's been basically a year
since I've been starting making these
videos
and I'm learning how to edit videos how
to be regular on the camera and try and
be entertaining naturally I find I am a
very entertaining person but as soon as
I get in front of the camera I get shy
nervous and antsy and all this stuff so
I'm uncomfortable so I feel
uncomfortable making most of these
videos just so you know but I love
snakes and I want to share that with
people help other people kind of
overcome their fear of snakes teach them
a little bit give them kind of my
hands-on experience I'm not an expert I
know the doctor not a vet and I'm just
basically a normal guy that went to a
pet show got into snakes and now keeps a
file but since starting all this I've
now basically bred geckos bearded
dragons ball pythons boas and now
hopefully super door free ticks all in
corn snakes so I do have a bit of
experience now have basically seven
years of experience with reptiles and a
lot of them like basically taking care
of about sixty having one two three four
five six seven eight like around ten
litters of snakes so I know a little bit
they're happy to share that with you one
of the things that's hard is listening
to people that have opinions that have
one snake or two snakes or have no
experience doing the things that I've
been doing for years so I don't know
Naomi's that's my little ramble
so Calypso's wonderful Calypso's clip so
is my dream super dwarf like beyond my
dream super door for you to like she's
amazing
when I saw Nintendo Nintendo is a ultra
Henry but Calypso here is a ultra a Nuri
happy hers basically like a dream come
true so I'd never want to get rid of her
and I love her like she's just she's the
best so I just I wanted to make this
video to kind of like take away the fear
take away the the wrong ideas that
people have had just cuz they saw her
strike at the glass so they saw her
strike and it made her look like she's a
little bit nasty but she's not nasty
teach them that there's no reason to be
afraid and then slowly they'll be less
and less afraid and eventually they
won't be afraid at all so Philip Zoe is
a sweetheart is in her own way
I probably shouldn't let other people
hold her but I like to let people kind
of hold everything if you come over and
say all I want to hold Calypso you know
I'm gonna tell you well you can hold
Calypso she can be a little bitey this
is what I want you to do I don't want
you to like you know give her too much
attending and I tried to kind of not
even really look at her because I don't
want her to feel scared or anything I
say here you can hold her but you're
gonna have to be calm and you're gonna
have to just kind of let her do her
thing and if she does bite don't move
like all my snakes here getting bit by
them is basically a joke it's not it's
not super painful it's not damaging
there's nothing
you have to worry so much I don't wanna
go you guys look so lost you're in the
background are many Rapids but tell us
about your near-death experience I met
you I said
