My name is Carson I'm 10 years old
and I love to play with big snakes.
Macy's an albino,
and she is super long.
My first snake was a sinaloan milk snake
I got for Christmas.
And now my collection has got so big
I have
an albino corn snake that's five six.
This is actually part
of Macy's poop
right there.
So you can tell
that she can't digest the fur.
So she just pooped it out.
Amber: Carson started working with animals when he was really young.
He built interest when he was probably
18 months, two years old
He knew lots of facts
and tips about it.
Started collecting a lot of little animal toys
and then that's just really
grew and grew until now
they're no longer toys there the real thing.
Carson: Cool fact about the bearded dragon
is that, they'll actually
their defense mechanism they'll make their self look big.
They'll stand on their hands as tall as they can
and they'll what their predator
if the predator's coming at them,
they will be like, "I see if you,"
"If you come near me I'm going to bite you."
And they can be very territorial
with other males.
love you [inaudible]
I want to be like Steve Irwin
and go around the world and do like
documentaries and stuff.
[Inaudible] He is a beauty,
Now this guy,
while he has those triangular teeth
because he's insectivorous means that he likes to
only eat insects
and that's about all eats.
Let's move on to the next animal.
Amber: Steve Irwin had a huge impact on Carson,
and he does like to do animal shows and he loves to
drop you know, crickey, or you know
you know, just some quotes that he's heard.
Carson: Good day mates,
Good day mates,
Good day, woo hoo
Reptiles rule.
Amber: Home animals.
Does the tortoise eat this?
Squash?
Carson: Yeah you have to cut it up into smaller bits.
Carson: Snapping turtle I always have to watch
what I'm doing because he strikes so fast,
and you just have to be really careful
what you're doing.
But not really. He's really
Really the only one that
really gives me, kind of, the chills
Let's see if he's in there,
I feel him.
Crickey.
Just kidding.
Here he is.
I've been bitten and scratched
a bunch of different animals.
Snakes, lizards, turtles.
I've been peed on by frogs
and actually didn't bid on the pinky by gerbil.
Right here's the Sinaloan Milk snake.
He's one of my favorites.
Now sinaloan milk snakes they are native to Mexico.
They like to live in the desert.
Oh boy crickey, bit me right on the hand.
Crickey that hurt.
That's going to leave a mark.
Now,
What I didn't do is what you don't need to do,
is when he bit me,
I didn't jerk my hand away
and because if I jerked my hand away,
I would have ripped his teeth out.
And then he would have got an abscess
and that would have been my fault.
Let's put him up because he's very angry.
Amber: He got hit in the face by
a gecko one time.
But when it gets bit by the snakes,
they're never like, I don't think they bite him.
Like fully biting,
like, it's usually just like a couple of little small...
Carson: My friends like interacting with the animals a lot.
They help me out with feeding typically,
the lizards, the turtles, the frogs,
and sometimes they'll help feed the snakes.
Does anybody think, know what Brady eats?
Male Speaker: Worms and crickets,
Carson: Yes, feel his back.
Female Speaker: I like turtles.
Do they live in water?
Carson: No, he actually lives on the land.
He lives in a continent named Africa
and he has those claws and those armor plated
arms right there to help him burrow.
And oh, he's peeing.
Basically, these toes right here
if he didn't have those,
he would fall off and he wouldn't be able to stick onto the trees.
Male Speaker: Does this...
Does he stick to a window?
Carson: Yeah, he can stick to a Window.
Kids: Bye Carson.
Amber: Carson is, he's a strong willed
child so he has a very...
bright personality, I guess you'd say,
kind of talks about being a vet.
But really, he's become part of conservation efforts
is really his' goal.
Joey: Protecting animals and,
you know, educating others on the importance of,
protecting certain species
What the heck is there something called Global Warming?
joey: I'm very proud of him and what he's been able to accomplish
at such a young age.
It's pretty incredible.
