(upbeat music)
- Oh, boy, we have a good day today.
My friend Dev is in the house.
- Hey.
- And you know what that means.
He's brought me some goodies
and he actually has a friend named Chance
that brought some really amazing stuff too,
it's gonna be fun,
but we're gonna start off with a King Cobra, that's right.
You guys remember Taco when it was a little tiny animal?
Well, I haven't seen Taco since it's grown a bit.
Let's see what the heck this snake looks like.
Now Taco is a pretty special animal.
Number one, freaking beautiful dude.
- Thank you
- Might be the prettiest King Cobra
I've ever seen in my entire life.
That thing is ridiculous.
And now you're gonna notice
Dev has a relationship with this Cobra
like something you've never seen before, right?
I mean, just take a look at it.
Now this is gonna get much larger, obviously,
than this animal here, I mean,
we're talking about the largest venomous snake on the planet
with some localities being over 15 foot,
but you can see how Dev is free handling this animal
because he's been working with it since it's a baby, right?
It's not hooding up, it's not being defensive.
It's not doing anything.
It's actually just kinda going on.
It's like almost like a Corn Snake.
And that's the kind of interesting thing is that, you know,
venomous snakes are still snakes, right?
And a lot of times people think of something,
like a King Cobra or some other venomous snakes,
it's like killers
and you can't get a relationship with them,
and by no means am I suggesting
you or anyone do what Dev is doing,
- Anybody. but take a look at,
Dev, like how often do you work with this animal
to get it like this?
- Me and Taco are probably together
for about 30 minutes out of each day,
if we're not actually working together,
then I'm just sitting here looking at her
inside of her enclosure.
So she knows me inside and out,
everything that I'm gonna do to her.
I know every move that she is gonna make
before she makes it, as you can see.
- Look at that, that is incredible.
And again, you can see that,
that snake is so smart.
It's actually thinking the entire time,
but also you can see the relationship that Dev has with it.
And it's pretty impressive.
I mean I love King Cobras, and again, I continue to say,
you know, Dev is doing amazing work.
He's spent a tremendous amount of time with this animal
and really understands each and every movement.
That doesn't mean you should do it.
It doesn't mean you should inspire to do it,
because you know what, if a Corn Snake bites you,
not that much of a big deal, right?
But this bites you, it's a really, really big deal,
with that being said,
Dev understands that responsibility that he's gotta take.
And I tell you what, it's impressive, dude.
- [Dev] Thank you - It is impressive.
And we've seen a lot, I mean,
obviously Chandler and Will and Tyler Nolan,
all of these guys are really great with cobras as well.
But this is just amazing, I mean, just take a look at this.
This is like ridiculous, and that is a beautiful snake too.
I mean, my gosh, I cannot believe it's gotten
so big, dude. - So big, she's huge bro.
- [Brian] Oh my God, now is she just a snake eater, then?
- And now she's on to eating snakes, geckos now.
So she's still on the lizards,
but we have gotten her over to snakes.
- Oh my Gosh.
- So we're good.
Now she's, you know, before she was real picky,
now she doesn't really care.
- Yeah, and the thing is the snake eater king cobras
are typically bigger than rodent eaters, right?
For whatever reason, when you get into a snake eater,
it's just gonna be a bigger, fatter body snake.
And they get really long.
So I tell with the color on this king cobra is to die for,
I mean, I'm telling you what I'm in heaven guys,
that is the most beautiful king cobra I've seen.
And just look at the head,
look at the pattern, look at the think.
I mean you could see in the eyes,
it's thinking, it's actually trying to process
what's going on here.
And wow dude, every time he brings her,
I get more and more in love with her.
Matter of fact, one day,
I'm gonna just steal it from Dev, I think.
To be honest with you, but no,
that is, that's awesome Dev, that's cool.
So, but guess what?
Lots more snakes to see today,
and Dev bought me one pretty special animal
that we're gonna check out right now.
A lot of people say they have big reticulated pythons.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard
"Like, yeah, I've got a giant reticulated python."
They come and I'm like,
"yeah, that's not such a giant."
Well, Dev told me he had a giant reticulated python.
This man does not lie.
Take a look at the snake right here.
That is one.
Oh my gosh, dude.
This thing is crazy big.
What's her name?
- Juliet.
- Juliet, oh Juliet, come on.
Come on baby girl, oh my gosh.
What a snake, okay, we're friends.
Holy moly, I mean it is so heavy.
- You got it right?
- I got it, I'm going to the gym,
all right one squat, two squats
I'm telling you what, this is a heavy snake.
There are certain snakes that you handle,
and it like buckles your knees.
- Right. - You're almost
like I can't do it.
This is one of them for sure.
Juliet is a beast.
How old is she?
- She is roughly 10 years old.
- 10 years, look at the size of her head too.
She's a big girl.
- Whoa, wherever she wants to go, she could go.
- Gosh, I wish you guys could feel this
'cause this is absolutely...
We're getting real close Dev, me and you are real close now.
- We're brothers
- We're brothers, we're always trying to bring
each other closer together.
Oh my gosh, I broke away.
And of course we got Chance here.
Jump on in here Chance.
So Chance has a few animals to show us as well.
Oh my gosh, this snake has to weigh
three times your weight man.
- She adores me.
- Oh my gosh.
- How much does she weigh?
- Mikey, get in here.
Mike is a beast. He's like a farmer.
He bales hay like for a living.
- Not anymore. Hi Chance.
- How you doing?
That's okay. I like that.
- That's a cool snake. Isn't it?
- It's awesome. It's like,
this has gotta be as much as Lucy.
- That's as much as Lucy,
it may not be quite as long, but it's thicker.
- Yeah.
- But look at the head on that animal.
That's when you know it's a good body animal, All right.
You don't have a disproportionate head,
to the size of a body. Right?
Got a small head, huge body. It's overfed.
This one is,
and there's nothing better than to get a bunch of guys
together and just handle big snakes.
That sounds really weird. Okay. So anyways,
So let's move on.
And like I mentioned,
Chance actually brought some other sweet animals
for us here.
This happens to be a little monocle Cobra here.
And it seems like it's a little bit fiery.
This is a weird size for a monocle Cobra, right?
Because basically they're at that size where they're small
enough where they can zing around you pretty quick.
So if you don't have length on them, but at the same time,
they're not so small that they're usually pretty good to
handle it. Stuff like that.
We'll see if we can get her hooded, come on, come on, come.
I'm lucky. Here we go.
All right, here we go.
So what's the mutation of this. This is absolutely gorgeous.
- She's a orange negative albino, hyper Melanie mystics.
Possible stone wash.
- Jesus, it's like a ball python.
It's got so many morphs in these things and that's the thing
that's crazy about monocle.
Cobras is they are like ballparks.
I say have they're the one Cobra,
the one venomous snake really?
That has so many different basically mutations in them.
And you can get all kinds of stuff from white ones to pink
ones, to purple ones, all kinds of stuff.
And this one's not quite ready to hook for us,
which would be really nice.
Okay. Normally she's gonna go for us here.
Nope, nope, nope.
And that's what happens sometimes. You know,
when they're not putting they're a little bit more kind of
sketchy, to be honest with you.
'Cause they're all over the place. Once they hook up,
you can kind of control them. And again,
these guys have a mild toxin, a neurotoxin,
a cardiotoxic there's a little hood for us here,
but come on. She doesn't want to stay up though.
Does she?
Of course they're called monocle cobras because they have
that cool monocle on the back of their hood right here.
You can see it, especially when they hood up.
The monocle is absolutely incredible.
And these guys will get pretty big. You know,
they'll go six plus foot and they'll have like 25 eggs.
So they're a high production animal.
How long have you had this chance?
- I've actually only had it
for maybe four or five months now.
Okay, cool.
Yup.
- Newer animal recollection.
And you have some other monocles as well. Huh?
- Yeah. Those ones are actually owned by my buddy JT.
We had a couple of collaboration,
breeding's and stuff that we're doing.
So I have a few of his animals at my house.
Got those guys paired up. That's awesome.
- All so I can't thank you enough
for bringing her out to see.
And there she goes. Here's my little baby.
Come on. Let's show us what you got there.
Girl. Come on,
look at that monocle in the back right there at that circle.
It is so beautiful.
What an absolute gorgeous snake we just got started guys.
We've got all kinds of amazing snakes.
We're gonna see today.
And I think we're gonna take a little trip to Africa.
So guys,
I'm partnering up for this blog with home title lock and
listen, if you're a homeowner, this is really important.
I'll be honest with you. I didn't even realize this.
And now I actually am using home title lock.
And basically I didn't realize that stealing your deed
to your house is so easy.
It's easier than actually even a car believe it or not.
Now all they need is your home address and the name on the
title, which by the way,
both public records can literally go to the county deeds
office and print out a deed.
And what happens is they changed the name on your deed to
their name, and then they take out loans against your house.
That's right.
So basically what happens is they become the owner of your
house on paper. They take out huge loans against it.
You won't even notice until your payments late.
And then all of a sudden you realize you've got a mountain
of debt that you have to pay back.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
With home title lock. They monitor your deed 24/7.
If anything happens, they send you an alert and guess what?
They also have a million dollar insurance policy that will
go against your attorney fees,
your recovery of anything that you possibly did,
which by the way,
I didn't realize that I didn't already have that with my
mortgage, but no, you don't have it.
So listen,
if you're a homeowner you definitely need some protection
like home title lock
Go to home title lock.com/BRIANB and use my promo code,
Brian B to try out home title locked risk-free for 30 days,
listen, just give it a shot.
You know, protect yourself.
Like I said, I was blown away.
I didn't realize it was such a big thing.
So easy to do and really could turn your life upside down
that free 30 day trial. And I trust you.
You'll be sleeping better at night. And when I say Africa,
I actually mean this buddy here.
Of course a gigantic Puff Adder named Clark.
And I tell you what puff adders are no joke.
They have an amazing strike rate is,
and they have some pretty big things. I tell it.
There's always that debate about what's the fastest striking
snake and certainly Puff adders and Death Adders,
from Australia are the two that come up the most.
To be honest with you, if you ask anyone from Africa,
what's faster, they'll always say, Hey,
Puffy's are faster and Hey, let's face it.
They've been around longer than the Australian death adders,
because this is an animal that's been around for millions
and millions of years. And I tell you what,
that is an impressive snake and chance, dude,
this is gigantic.
- Yeah, I got off the dome and then they're like,
I got a five foot puff adder for you. And I'm like, no,
you don't. There's no.
- And then, and look at this real quick, see the motion.
That is what makes it amazing.
So I'm sorry. So you said you were like,
there's no way that's five foot, right?
- I know. I, I say you're lying.
There's actually no way you're over exaggerating it.
And sure enough,
he showed up at my house with a five foot puff adder and I
was mind blown by it and I had to have it at that point had
also a lake home, Mel locality.
Okay. I haven't really figured out much on that yet.
I don't know if that's like a true thing or if it's actually
an actual locality,
I've been able to find much out about it, right?
- They're very endemic to South Africa in particular,
they're all over the place. And unfortunately,
these guys are ambush hunters.
So in all the bites that basically come from Africa,
which is a pretty high number,
typically comes from the fact that they're so heavily
camouflage. That's just, you know,
you'll be walking through and step near it and it will
strike out at you. And these guys are super springy.
Literally can spring one,
one and a half times the length of their body.
Once they're in that striking motion, not to mention,
they construct backwards, sideways, all kinds of stuff.
So the bites really come from kind of ambush kind of
surprises. But listen,
these guys don't want you to muck with them.
And that's why they call them puff adders. It's like,
you've got that absolute big puff. Like,
and when they do that, you know, a puppet, Ooh,
that just struck at me right there.
You always got to be careful with puffies,
There's no doubt about it.
Guys are absolutely could see again.
He said, he's a feisty little monkey.
There's no doubt about that.
And again, I'm gonna respect this guy. But again,
that big puff that they let up is really unique to a puff
adder. And you always know that there's one around there.
Wow. This guy is an absolute beauty,
but boy is he feisty when we met Clark and now you can be
Lois, the Gaboon Viper, and look at the size, head on this.
And you said that you're hoping that maybe you'll be able to
breed these guys.
- Yeah.
I'm hoping that I can pair them up and make the Gaboon
and puff adder hybrid.
I know they've been done a couple of times,
but not too often.
The Gaboon's are made more than the Puff Adder
in a Gaboon hybrid.
So exactly like I'm hoping that I can get lucky with it.
I got her one other female about the same size as her.
So I'm hoping with those two girls and him,
I can maybe get it done.
- [Dev] Oh my gosh,
- the thing that's so amazing about the Gaboon vipers, is
again, that size of the head, you know what I mean?
They're just gigantic animals, right?
And of course they have the longest fangs
of any venomous snake.
I mean, literally to the point where I had a friend once
that was knackering a Gaboon Viper
and it literally poked his fangs
through the back of its mouth and actually got into him.
Thankfully it was a dry bite, so he was okay.
These are much like the puffies and the way that they are
springing animals, ambush hunters.
You can see if you were walking in the area.
Like when I was in St. Lucia Africa,
we were actually searching for some east Gaboon Vipers
and literally the leaf went around the ground.
There was no way that you could see a moose.
Literally you had a bunch of leaves on the ground and you
came across a Gabby like this.
You can imagine how it would just blend right in. And again,
that's how they're gonna hunt, it's ambush hunting.
But again,
don't wanna get bit by something like that with those
fangs, that size and that nasty venom,
Definitely not something you want to muck with for sure.
But what an absolutely gorgeous animal I've said it before.
I'll say it again. I think Gaboon Vipers and
Rhino Vipers may be the prettiest snakes on the planet.
Guys. We're gonna need this for this next snake.
And of course, this is absolute beauty here.
Take a look,
what chance has,
this of course is an Indochina spitting Cobra
who doggy and it's pretty cool. Now, listen, can't you set?
This one's really chill. It doesn't really stay right.
Rarely, but you always want to take feel for caution, right?
I mean,
because of the dust that these guys can literally spit, yo,
it's a predation thing, right?
If they actually want a predator coming out and they can
spit up to two meters with accuracy right into something's
eyes. And obviously if you get spit in the eyes,
I've known people that have literally went blind and lost
sight because of spitting cobras over in Africa in
particular. So listen, you gotta be really careful,
but it is just a naturally occurring,
beautiful black and white snake.
And that's what makes these guys so incredible.
Is it almost looks like a pilot or something like that,
but believe it or not,
it's a naturally occurring animal that looks just like this.
And you can tell this one is a hoppy dog too. I mean,
it doesn't want a hood. Doesn't want to do anything.
- Look at that little bit of a hood on it.
- There's a little tiny bit of a hood on it.
- That's all he'll do
He won't ever actually hood up. You won't stay.
And he just kind of would go along with it once he starts to
get annoyed with you and he'll start hopping it,
start hopping a little bit. When you know,
he's getting annoyed, he wants to be put away,
but he's honestly a pretty laid back.
- Oh my God,
this thing is absolutely beautiful.
And these guys will get quite a bit larger as well,
which makes them a really beautiful, impressive snake.
Just wonderful. Almost reminds me of a high white, black,
white, California king snake,
but with a little bit more punch to the fight.
There's no doubt about that, but I tell him, wow,
I'm having the time of my life.
Let me know down in the comments.
If you guys are enjoying this or what animal,
you're kind of really excited about seeing,
'cause I tell her like each one of these animals we've had
today, I have been on cloud nine.
I mean, I am smiling on the inside.
Like you guys can't believe, take a look at this chance.
Brought me one of my favorite of the African Vipers for
sure. This is of course of Bush Viper.
Unbelievable. You said you actually produced this one.
- Yeah, I got in a imported female
and she was, had her for a couple of months.
And then all of a sudden, she dropped some babies and it was
my first hot note too. That was that.
And she dropped the babies and I had about nine of them and
I had, I actually got all nine of them to eat and survive.
- And that's tough because they're born super, super small.
So that's super impressive. And this is a female.
- Yeah. It looks like it. Tell that tale right there.
- And of course,
these guys are a front Fang Viper and they have, you know,
mild venom. I mean,
when you get hit by something like this is gonna ruin
your weekend, you know, there's no doubt about it.
You're gonna have swelling, necrosis,
a lot of different things,
but usually you're not gonna die,
which is at least a good thing.
So it's kind of a nice entry-level animal when you get into
the hot stuff, right?
Because number one, they're pretty chill.
They don't really jump a whole lot.
They usually pretty mellow.
They're not gonna lap at this whip it over the place.
And they're mildly venomous.
It's not that I'm saying you should get
into any venomous snake,
unless you really do your research and really know what
you're doing. But nevertheless,
Bush Vipers are just absolutely incredible with those crazy
scalation that peeled scalation and just an absolutely
wonderful snake fan. Right?
- Yeah, I Love them.
They're awesome.
- You brought some heat today.
- I tried to, I tried to.
- It's awesome.
So this is the first one secure at the reptile and which
is pretty cool. He's actually had Western Diamond backs in,
but we've never had Eastern diamond backs.
This is actually the female and the male.
What's their names again.
- This is Rafiki and that's Lola.
- Lola and Rafiki.
And of course these are the largest of the rattlesnakes here
in America.
These guys can literally sometimes
get a hind foot link. I mean,
there's rumors of being like 10 foot,
but I don't know that they ever get that big.
But of course these guys seem pretty chill.
They're not even really rattling. Of course,
they've got these buttons right here.
And that's what the whole rattling is all about is to warn
us, just to say, Hey, stay away from me.
I don't wanna fight you. I don't wanna muck with you,
but I want you to stay away from me. Right?
So they are pretty springy though.
So you have to be a little bit careful because they
literally will bite a lot further than you can expect.
And these guys have a tendency to strike and (indistinct).
Although in all honesty,
the eight tracks or the westerns are typically a little bit
more sketchy when it comes to that heavy necrosis with a
bite flight or something like this. Lots of swelling,
lots of necrosis.
Many people that get by bit by Diamond backs,
whether it's Eastern's or Western's,
usually we'll lose digits and stuff like that.
If you're bit in the fingers. So again,
something you do not wanna get bit by for sure.
So I always want to be a little bit careful and it looks
like again, she's got a little bit of threat display,
so I always just want to be really gentle with her.
This guy is just a little one and they're just little guys.
Of course they're live bears.
So they'll have quite a few babies and they're absolutely
amazing. I tell you what,
it's pretty cool to have all these new animals here at the
reptile that has never been like the Eastern.
So again, to Chance and Dev,
Thank you guys so much for bringing in these animals.
- You're welcome.
- I mean, we've having an absolutely wonderful time.
Yeah.
- You're an idol and I wanted to bring these animals to show
you and everything. So this was like a big thing for me too.
- Well, thank you so much, dude.
I mean, I'm telling you what this was awesome, dude.
I can tell you.
The funny thing is dude, this guy over here, Rafiki,
He's actually super deep in shed.
Right.
- And he's just, he's just chill as can be.
It's almost like you would like,
he could just take them off. He's so cool.
- So honestly he's like that. Yeah. I usually do.
I work with it. I've been with him
since he was a teeny tiny little worm
and I've been working with him like every day.
- So yeah.
It's amazing what you can do with venomous snakes when you
put the time into them and actually have them have that
respect. Right?
It's a mutual respect thing,
but you always gotta be careful right?
Use your head these are venomous animals,
but nevertheless though, absolutely amazing.
How many cool animals, we got to see today?
This one we're gonna need a really big snake hook.
I'm not messing around with this one.
Okay. Maybe we need a small one here.
All right.
So these guys are the cutest little tiniest of the little
snakes. Look at these things right here.
These are actually long.
I don't even know how you handle these things.
These are long nodes Vipers.
And tell me a little bit about them. UDL.
What, what do you know?
'Cause I don't know much.
- I don't really know too much about them.
I know that they have a very toxic venom and the neurotoxin
side of them.
And I know that they're mainly all over Europe.
These guys were bred and imported from Germany.
- They're absolutely amazing. I mean,
I've seen bigger ones at zoos and stuff like that,
but these are the first ones I've ever seen and they are so,
so tiny. It's unbelievable.
You know,
it's amazing that an animal that this size could do so much
damage, you know,
but they're definitely gonna do it again. Neurotoxin,
Hemitoxin.
I mean you do that one.
It's crazy to think that a little snake right there
could mess you up.
So guys, I don't know about you,
but I had the time of my life, Chance, Dev,
thank you guys so much for coming out and bringing all
this, this heat.
I'm gonna put all their links in the description.
So go show them some love.
Tell them I sent you and we'll definitely have them out
again. Go visit their places sometime.
It'd be absolutely amazing, if you enjoyed this video,
wanna see like-minded videos. Here's a playlist.
You can check that one out over here.

Remember be kind to somebody and I promise,
I'll see you in the next one.
