(dramatic music) - Tell me when you're ready.
- Ooh, there it is, ugh!
Look at the venom just pouring out.
Do you think the king cobra is the deadest snake
on the planet?
Later on the video, we're gonna actually show you why
the king cobra is considered one of the most deadly snake.
But the King Cobra actually has the second largest
venom yield on the planet.
That's what makes them so deadly.
But the first-
- The Gaboon viper, the longest fangs
of any snake in the world
and the biggest yield of venom of any snake on the planet
and we're about to find out why.
Oh, went right over the glass!
Look at that venom and those fangs!
Two inch fangs, a big Gaboon viper.
Look at that venom, I tell you what,
I've got the shakes, look at that.
I'm shaking like a leaf
because you are so close to death
and the worst thing about this venom here,
it'll make your leg and your arm fall off,
but it's gonna stop your heart.
- And Will has three king cobras, absolutely iconic snakes.
Of course, the longest venomous snake in the entire world,
and oftentimes think as one of the most deadly,
that's a little bit of a misnomer.
There's a difference between deadly and toxic.
We're gonna find out what that means here in a little bit.
We're here at Will Nace, my buddy's place,
with these amazing animals.
And by the way, I will put all the links
in the description to his stuff, go give him a follow.
You guys may recognize this little baby cobra
'cause, Will, you just recently did a video
that went crazy viral when you hatched
these albino monocleds.
Tell me a little bit about these guys
and tell me a little bit about their toxicity.
- These guys are actually more toxic than a king cobra.
I had a buddy that got bit in the stomach,
you actually know him.
- David Weathers, yeah. - David Weathers,
yeah, so he was my mentor.
He got bit in the stomach and his hole in his stomach,
or his scar in his stomach, is still there
because it basically just started rotting away
right where it bit him, so he almost actually lost his life.
So their venom is a lot worse than the King Cobra
when it comes to the toxicity of it,
but again, the yield is not as bad.
- Well, you know how people always say,
"Oh, a baby snake's worse
because they just pump you with their venom",
but their venom yield is smaller, right,
because they're smaller
so tell me a little bit about that.
- In a cobra this size,
he maybe has less than a drop's worth
of venom in each side.
If they were to bite you, yes, they cannot control it,
but they don't have the amount of venom that an adult does.
If an adult were to bite you, it's gonna put
three or four drops from each fang in you,
where this guy is gonna put less than a drop from each side,
really not as bad as every puts it out to be.
Now, some snakes are different.
- Exactly, and that's the thing about the monocled.
Even as adults, they don't have that big venom yield, right?
But that's still a bite you don't wanna get.
And these guys have a little cardio toxin in it, too,
so they'll literally stop your heart.
While they're amazing, and of course, the monocled cobras,
look at how beautiful that animal is.
The monocled cobras are kind of like the corn snake
of the venomous world.
How many color morphs are there?
I mean, there's tons, right?
- I mean, I know at least over 10,
but between them and the Western diamondback rattlesnake,
these guys the corn snakes of the venomous world
and then I say that Western diamondbacks
are the ball pythons of the venomous world.
- My gosh, and tell me a little bit about that video.
What was that like when you woke up and all of a sudden,
you had just tons of people message you probably like,
"Oh my God." - Oh my God, over probably
200 messages people asking to buy these little guys,
which, you know, none of them had
venomous experience, permits or anything,
so that didn't happen.
I never would've expected that to happen
from a video about taking care of little baby cobras.
- And I know you're super responsible
when it comes to things like this.
When you're finding homes for these cobras,
you want people with experience, right?
I mean, you're as responsible as it gets
when it comes to venomous snakes.
I tell you what, this is absolutely beautiful.
What a wonderful snake and what a wonderful collection.
Look at this feisty little monkey.
There's still so much more to see.
I am absolutely having the time of my life.
- This is the adult albino monocled cobra
that Brian was talking about.
Those little babies, this is one of the parents right here.
Now it's a front-fanged venomous snake.
It's called an elapid,
just like the rest of Australian snakes.
They're all elapids.
Now we have the top five most venomous snakes in the world,
including the Australian death adder, the tiger snake,
the taipan, Eastern brown snake,
and of course, the notorious inland taipan,
which has the venom potential
to kill you in about 45 minutes.
Even though the inland taipan has drop for drop
the most deadliest venom in the world,
unfortunately, it's the most docile snake in the world
which means it's potentially not going to bite
Therefore, I think that Eastern brown snake,
in venom toxicity and aggression,
is probably number one in Australia.
- This over here is the African puff adder,
the snake that kills more people
in Africa than any other snake.
It's got one of the quickest strikes in the world
and probably the most tissue destructive venom
of any snake on the planet.
Now, as you'll see, look how it moves, like a caterpillar.
It moves across, 'cause it's a bit of a porker,
but big in the toilet area.
Now these snakes over here, I've been bitten by one before.
I'll tell you what, it's like sticking your hand
in boiling oil and it's got massive fangs.
Puff adders have fangs this big, almost an inch long,
and they'll drill it right down into your finger.
Sometimes the bottom of the fang will come out
the bottom of your finger.
- Yeah, you guys can have all that venomous stuff.
This is more my speed.
Oh my God.
Good, that's good.
- When you get into pit vipers,
oftentimes their venom toxicity isn't nearly as much.
But tell me about this, Will.
- So this is a North Philippine temple viper.
These guys are absolutely stunning,
but they need a very high humidity, hence the paludarium.
She gets misted about four times a day.
- Wow. - Help that humidity up
and she also will drink off the leaves
and the different plants in here, too.
So I wanna make sure that she stays nice and hydrated
with the mist system and the paludarium.
- And the thing about these guys
is they're sexually dimorphic,
meaning that the females are much larger than males.
Pretty amazing but all pit vipers are incredible.
Will's got a bunch of 'em.
- So in here we have atheris squamigera,
also known as the squam, bush viper.
So these guys actually come from Africa.
Dingo's part of the world, not so much here.
But these are some of the most common venomous snakes
here in the United States.
So this is a trimeresurus purpureomaculatus,
also known as a purp.
So these guys are awesome.
They are, again, sexually dimorphic
because of the size difference.
This is a female, you can see she's very large.
And the male is back there,
the little green guy hanging out there.
She actually used to be red and she slowly started changing
into a green purp and look how keyed in she is.
She always is hungry and food motivated.
- Dingo, what are you doing? (Dingo blowing raspberries)
What are you doing?
(Dingo's lips smacking) - Stop making out
with my lizard. - He's cool.
- So these are fancy pan vipers.
Now, you wanna talk about camouflage?
Look at that, there is two snakes
that you guys are currently looking at,
and you can't even see them.
These guys come from Asia, they are absolutely stunning
and they have little horns above their eyes,
that are gorgeous.
This is my favorite one in this room.
This is a trimeresurus popeiorum,
I believe that's how it's said.
It's very hard, but we just call it the Pope's tree viper.
These guys are stunning.
Again, another snake from Asia.
If you actually look close enough at their eyes,
they have a little galaxy.
(dramatic music) It's crazy.
- And now it's time to see how much venom yield
this cobra actually has.
Come on, buddy.
Oh, there it is, ugh!
Look at that venom just pouring out.
And this is why they're so deadly,
as they really juice you with their venom.
They don't have the most toxic venom on the planet,
but whew doggy, you get bit by something like this
and get this much venom in you?
It's definitely gonna be a problem.
What an absolutely beautiful snake.
Now what I'm gonna do is just gently set it down
so we're not overly stressing it out, like this,
and I'm gonna go ahead and just count to three.
One, two, three.
I tell you what, that's the venom that I'm talking about.
You get pumped with that, it's a problem.
- Is it gonna bite me? - No.
- That's what the last guy said.
You let him bite me!
You have to just go.
- Take a little break from the venomous
to play with some foxes.
- [Keeper] Sit.
- Wait a minute.
- [Keeper] If you just leave it like that, he won't get you.
- And what's cool about this place
is that they're opening up a not-for-profit zoo.
I'm gonna put link in the description to their Instagram,
if you wanna show any support.
We'll be back and do a bunch of content on it.
- [Guest] Let's do it together, Armin.
- Here, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, hold it with me- - Hold it together, Armin,
Brian, get it.
Did it get your finger?
- We're in here with Dingo, Peter, and Danger Danny.
We've got a bunch of cool little alligators.
Smash that like button, hit that subscription bell.
(dramatic music)
- Oh get him, get him.
- Lost toes.
- (laughing) Toes, toes, toes.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
- The toes.
Oh (grunting).
- Get away from him,
that's my alligator. - That's my favorite.
- That's my alligator.
That's my alligator, you get your own albino alligator.
Ow, the turtle bit me,
this little turtle keeps getting my toes.
Uh-oh, here we go.
Ahh, ahh, ahh!
- The only way to not- - Ahh!
- The turtle, they got ya!
- This is the biter, this is the little biter.
- No, this one did it too.
- Watch out for Nellie.
- Bloody hell. - Oh this-
(Dingo laughing)
- Oh look, Nellie's done.
(Brian laughing)
(all laughing)
- [Dingo] No biting, bro, no biting.
(all laughing)
- Ow! - She didn't like
the taste of that one.
(water splashing) - Ow!
- [Dingo] Oh no, oh no, ah!
- Ow, (laughing), that hurt!
That was a good one.
We found out a lot about venomous snakes today.
