hello welcome back everyone
you got my face you're not just focusing on my fat belly no you're good
you you better be making me look thin okay because you know the camera adds 10 pounds
so like that's that's not even there never mind that so first i wanted to show you
if you remember the bucket we've had some good times on the bucket but unfortunately i've gotten
too fat and when i stand on a bucket it's starting to break and i had a stool with like hockey sticks
on it and stuff so i had this bucket and a stool and i decided you know to replace the two with
one so behold our new somewhat bucket stool and here it is it's nice and tall so i can stand on it
but over here i screwed the old stool so now it's it still lives on and i can sit on this thing
sideways i took another part of the stool and screwed it on here and we're gonna put a little
like i'm gonna add a little extra stool seat here so my friend can sit with me and join
along but that's not what this video is about in today's video we're gonna talk to you about how to
how to touch a snake that's scared so sometimes your snakes could be scared and not want you to
touch them and we're going to touch them anyways and show you how to kind of like calm them down
and let them know that everything's going to be all right now if you're if you're handling a snake
like you're touching if you're handling if you're touching a snake that doesn't want to be touched
and that's that's a little bit scared this is the time where it's very easy to get bit and
stuff and this snake is nintendo nintendo is a sweetheart and he's just a bit of a scaredy
cat and when he gets scared sometimes he used to splatter poop all over me and pee and stuff
he's not as scared anymore but he's still when you first take him out he is a little bit
did i put him back oh i put it he's here he's in his home he's not in his holding thing okay
so we're gonna look over here now see he likes to feel nice and safe in here like he can go
explore everywhere he's hiding a little like he's just to himself as soon as like you go to get him
he's not cage defensive he's just defensive he's he's a bit of a scaredy cat he froze he's like
what's going on i always use a snake hook i probably could use my hand but i'd rather
not risk it because like i said when you handle a snake that is scared it's very easy to get nipped
so we kind of let them know we're gonna grab him and he usually will start running away but i
i just cleaned his home so i moved him a bit and he's okay
and he's in shed too so
it wasn't as exciting he's not really trying to run away the biggest thing is that i'm staying
calm i'm not really worried he's looking around and exploring and with any snake even
snakes that are calm sometimes when you first take them out they're a little bit like oh oh
what's going on i don't know what's going to happen it isn't and they might try and run away
so this room is full of things that they can grab they can go wrap around here
you can wrap around here you can get around a chair you can get around here so i'm very aware
of all those things and it's important to be aware of all those things because as soon as the snake
wraps around something or grabs it then it can be harder to get back and like he'll be looking
around like where can you get to what kind of truffle can i cause and the biggest thing is that
you handle them you stay calm you don't even worry about it you almost pretend like it's
like i'm not even holding a snake it's not even happening we're just not even doing this
trying to find a way to get away from me but i just hold him nicely we spent some
time together we'll wait till he calms down because right now he he's not really calm
but we want him to be so we just chill till he calms down see how long it takes to calm him down
and then once they're a little bit more calm and relaxed and not like afraid they're not fearful
like now i'm near his head and stuff and he's not like doing the uh leave me alone get away from me
i don't like you now i guess he's like he knows we're out we're hanging out he's not as scared
and nice and gentle uh another big thing is whenever you're holding a snake
especially longer ones and whatever you always want to kind of hold them from underneath you
always want to make them feel secure like you see his back of his body is here top of his
body is here me sitting like he's sitting on me he's hanging out if i'm standing
he has to find a place where like he's kind of the weight is on me and uh then then he'll feel
safer he'll feel more secure and i'm not going from on top i'm not grabbing him from on top
uh because that way it kind of feels like you're grabbing them you want to hold them you don't want
to grab them you want to hold them and make them feel secure and hold them from underneath not go
from on top and like grab them or force them you never want to force them you always want
to manipulate them you know be like okay baby come over here everything's going to be okay you just
treat them nice you treat them gentle you're good to them you're calm you're relaxed then they relax
they calm down and everything's just going to be okay if you want to learn how to hold a big snake
