Black & White Asian Spitters

[pythonmajestic]

:D they are cute, i used to have a friend with one of these

[snakelover127]

where can i get one of those water bottles that you give your snakes water with? please answer

[viperkeeper]

@snakelover127 US Plastics dot com

[snakelover127]

@viperkeeper THANKS!!

[chesleycareystar]

haha spitters... i know the name sounds sexual LOL

[whiteknight4879]

I think I know why, your deadly snakes are so well behaved most of the time. Its because of that sweetheart of a voice you have and the way you talk to them.

[viperkeeper]

@whiteknight4879 Yes, they can hear and sense your emotions. They are very perceptive.

[whiteknight4879]

@viperkeeper That is very inteteresting.

[Shuttlelover101]

@viperkeeper,

dose that work with all snakes??? I know dumb question!!!

Nikki

[CynicallyObnoxious]

Ok those were beautiful animals

[1996nfs]

I bet all the snakes you have don't attack you because I think they're saying "I love this guy when he feeds me and I don't have to waste energy for my prey"

[1996nfs]

I like your videos more than any discovery or animal planet snake documentry

[VireoIbis]

Gaboons are too beautiful.

[hdanahey]

hes asaping!! lol

[Klaus1386]

Maybe you should consider one of those respiratory masks, it would really suck to be narrating a video and catch a dose of cobra venom in the mouth.

[hunterb89]

are they a member of the cobra family?

[viperkeeper]

@hunterb89 Yes, Naja sputatrix

[hunterb89]

@viperkeeper nice i want 1 but my parents say no posin snakes so a kentan sand boa will suface

[dalektaliban]

im curious why do you feed them water via tube rather than just placing a water bowl in the box?

[GrimMind1]

very cute

[MisuOfArabonaClan]

If I ever encounter a fairy my third wish will be that she makes viperkeeper immune to all venom for one day and just handle his specimens freely for his liking. I just have to think up the first two now (suck up: done, regret: none)

[viperkeeper]

@MisuOfArabonaClan Thanks, how sweet :-)

[rrredzzz]

What is the "safest" venomous snake to own ? By safe i mean Good nature for the most part, rear-fanged (im assuming)

[mrdylanmagic]

@rrredzzz uhh no.All snakes have different temperments and personalities

[metarra]

There is no such thing as a "safe" or "safest" venomous snake.

Dispholidus typus is a rear-fanged snake and will kill you, without a doubt.

[ADbowling2000]

Oh! these are Indo-Chinese Spitting Cobras. Curious little guys arn't they? 

[JuanofArk]

beautiful snakes

[joebezza2k7]

do you make money from snakes?

[viperkeeper]

@joebezza2k7 No, I loose money from snakes

[AriesSoprano]

You make water sound so good, makes me want a drink. They are the coolest little things around, but The Black Mamba is still my fav...cool

[Biggerblue666]

What ever happen to these guys?

[viperkeeper]

@Biggerblue666 Sold them off, I was sent them by accident.

[Biggerblue666]

@viperkeeper nothings wrong about making some money

[mimiru1995]

i love how they eat there so cute x3

[fearthesentinel]

Just beautiful!

[bigbluemik]

are these spitters part of the spitting cobra family?

[colbyblood66]

Again Al a great video beautiful cobras,there my fav!!!!

[laney50w]

Really nice videos you have. Started watching today. Geesh, that Rhino Viper sure has some girth! Good stuff!

[trowaslover]

Theirs sneeze/cough thing is so very cute! I keep watching it over and over.

[BabyBlackKitsune]

haha you make water sound so yummy

[snoopval]

Is it just me or are these guys kind of as cute as a box of puppies, so cute.

[ABigDisgrace]

Haha, "oh no no no, we don't climb on cameras here, you don't know the rules yet, i know"! so cute snakes :)

[daydream91]

Cute snakes indeed, is it only their spit that is venomous? or do they also inject poison when they bite?

[viperkeeper]

@daydream91 They bite and inject venom....nasty bite...

[ZHB963]

@viperkeeper i was bitten by one. trust me it wasnt preety

[maarakailet1]

@daydream91 They inject venom (modified spit) through their fangs. They can also express venom under pressure to shoot it out their fangs, causing the "spitting" behavior. 

[devin3520]

you treat your spitting cobras good

[ProjectedIdea]

I like these guys. I don't wanna keep them, But i like them... lol

[l33thustla]

They don't bite so often more likely to spit :D

[sb1127]

How about some more videos with these little guys?

[darkpatriot85]

do you wear any type of eye protection when you work with spitters?

[viperkeeper]

Always!

[Koprophagia]

Beautiful, so awesome. Do you own any reds?

[viperkeeper]

Yes...look through my other videos

[LordLithicus]

Do you have any Kraits?

[viperkeeper]

Yes, look in my older videos

[Kaimosae]

08:15

"I can haz?" It's like the little guy is unsure if he's allowed to take it or not. lol

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

Those cobras are really cool..not for a begining hot enthusiast im guessing :)?

[viperkeeper]

Not advised

[l33thustla]

That is a big fat snake... is it fast or slow? :D hehe

[viperkeeper]

@l33thustla Depends...

[l33thustla]

Ok but that fat snake you had, was it fast or slow?

[DominusTerrae]

@l33thustla all snakes are fast, when they want to. even the bigger ones like retics

[DominusTerrae]

@l33thustla all snakes are fast, when they want to. even the bigger ones like retics

[DominusTerrae]

@l33thustla all snakes are fast, when they want to. even the bigger ones like retics

[kira640]

they are so cute O__O i want them xD

[TheNimerb]

If you could get a coral snake, would you ?

[viperkeeper]

I can get them, but they would die

[TheNimerb]

how come. they are native.

[steeltitan1]

..... cute!!!!

[anarchious88]

i love mammals,,, hate reptiles but they can be cool sometimes

[lydiapandora]

12:30 Oh my god that snake's big. lol

[Itchhhh]

You are NUTS!!

[smo2445]

what is the repercussions of getting 'spit on'?

[viperkeeper]

In your eye, you could have permenent blindness. On an open cut you could get envenomated. Otherwise, just was it all off and move on.

[smo2445]

oh ok, venomousness interest me, i own only non-venomousness reptiles thus far. I would like to get into it eventually but defiantly not anytime soon. Need alot more experience. If i do decided to get one years down the road what would you suggest, should i get a venomousness that is in the area i live in case im bitten?

[reptiboy]

Al, do you use any sort of eye protection? If I may recommend (as drastic as it sounds) you may want to invest in a riot helmet, many of my friends have used such as a method of not getting hit, as it has only one vulnerable point, which would be near the bottom.

[viperkeeper]

Yes, I wear eye protection. Thanks but that's over kill

[moviemaster132]

At 6:03 it looks like he is starring into your soul

[RJKHOTS]

I love that particular waglers of yours, you've got yourself a beautiful specimen! The eye on it and the stunning green color of the head and the triangular shaped head reminds me of some praying mantids from certain angles of filming.

[viperkeeper]

Yes they do..

[bstbosnian7]

are you giving them a shower or a drink?

[viperkeeper]

Drink

[ReptileMan27]

Awesome vid as always, that waglers vipers is stunning

[maarakailet1]

Another wonderful video!

[TJsHerps]

They are beautiful!

[prodgodq]

HI Al,

I'm considering keeping a Wagler's. All my research thus far indicates that their venom is relatively mild. Has anyone you know been tagged by one? So far I haven't come across any systemic envenomation, just cases with local swelling. Thanks.

[viperkeeper]

No, I don't know anyone tagged by a wag... I read a study in the book "Sankes of Sulawaesi" Included 50 bites by Wags...Just local effects except for one.

[rockinreptilesTV]

Hey Al ! i was just wondering i saw Steve Irwin get spat on by a spitter on the cheek and he just wiped it off and moved the cobra away. How is that so?

[viperkeeper]

@rockinreptilesTV Just causes problems if into your eyes, nose, & mouth.

[ItalianPyro92]

Al those baby spitters are just too cute lol.

[alecuratolo]

Hi "viperkeeper"......sorry,but what kind of snakes are them? they look very nice.

[viperkeeper]

Naja siamensis Asian Spitting Cobras

[snake7929]

I love watching your videos. You do an excellent job running camera and letting us see clearly what your snakes look like. keep up the good work.

[Reptilewild88]

Beautiful vid mate, those spitters are really cute.

[jxz107]

Loved the vid viperkeeper,the snakes are beautiful.

[viperkeeper]

Thanks :-)

[chunk123123]

the color and pattern of that rhino is stunning 5*

[TheBigCheezeIt]

that is a gorgeous waglers! amazing colors :) thanks for the video 5 stars

[kcrttheking]

better safe than sorry

[VenomouS996]

Nice siamensis, it is you CB?

[viperkeeper]

CBB 09

[XironRules]

That last snake ( wagler pit viper )

Was it a young snake ? Do they get much bigger ?

And is it HIGHLY venemous ?

ps: Awsome colours on the pit viper !

[viperkeeper]

3 ft (~1 meter) size is about as big as they get. They have huge heads and long fangs but the venom is not terrably toxic to humans. They are also known as "temple vipers and are kept in temples and are mild tempered. That was a newborn.

[Grazzeh]

Awesome Al! What camera are you using?

[viperkeeper]

Sony hdc-96

[Hemulen40]

Better behave , snakey, or I´ll spit rite back !

[Zelnicky]

Great Video Al.

Really like those little Black & White Spitters !

Also, that is a great looking little Waglers.

[Timmeh705]

love that last snake

[Kingsandballs]

I really need to get one of those water bottles you use. where can i get one?

[Bitis11nasicornis]

Man now I want a Waglers Viper as much as a Rhino Viper, hmmm. Lol, but those Asian Black & White Spitters pattern excluding the head and neck looks similar to some Garter Snakes I used to catch, but just the pattern would be reversed Lol.

[21RegimentSAS]

Hi Al, I was hoping we would see more of the B&W spitters after the unpacking video you did of them. They are very nice snakes I must say.

you have really looked after use with all the new videos the last week or so and I just wanted to say we all do appreciate it very much.

bye for now and I really hope this coming year brings good things to you and your family in the shape of snakes and good fortune

[johnny66o1]

al you wouldnt make a video where you would try to get one of the cobras to spit at something while you record it?

[viperkeeper]

No, once you get them started, they're tough to stop.

[MintyModF1]

That is extremely dangerous for several reasons. The obvious being venom can get into the eyes through sweat (even with safety glasses on)...If venom got into any mucas membranes, then it can be just as dangerous as a bite, and exposure to venom through such membranes may bring on Anaphylaxis following a bite. Also venom may get onto the walls...and dried venom has the same effect if breathed in, exposure can bring on Anaphylaxis which can kill in a matter of minutes. Dangerous stuff to do buddy

[HardjumperR]

Sexy Video man

those spitters look great IMO.

nice Video

[Trithij]

Another great video. These snakes are just extraordinary beautiful.

[dasila108]

wow...that was spectacular. thnx.

[EternalDeathSavior]

They are adorable :-)

[cannibalchewbacca]

haha looks like a medusa in here!!

[Truxiz]

Hello ViperKeeper.

I was wondering if the spit from a spitting cobra is the same posion as the venom in there touth?

Sorry for my language, im not that good at English as i once was..

Regards from:

Danni Hansen - Denmark.

[viperkeeper]

Same venom comes from one source.

[gohrisch]

im from england but lots of danish family

[heart4herps]

The B&W spitters are adorable! They're as alert as the mambas and as curious as the king. Coupled with their beautiful appearance they're fantastic little snakes.

[truckingmanrocketry]

A cute Christmas gift to open this year. Thank you Viperkeeper...

[mykidsdad36]

Al, I don't see how you can bear to let the spitters go (I'd want to keep them - they seem cute and sweet) I'm sure you have to distance yourself (Emotionally) from the ones that are just passing through, and on to other destinations.I can't wait to see the Bushmaster, Is it a large adult?Also is it headed for a Zoo, or is it a Keeper? I'm sorry, I'm just so excited about finally getting to see the Bushmaster at the ViperKeeprs lair, seeing how it's one of my most favorite snakes.Cheers, ~ Lee

[viperkeeper]

I think I'll start 2010 off with the Bushmaster video. I got some great "Bushmaster cam" of the male. They are CBB 07's and one CBB 09, sadly they are not staying for long. They were aquired for a breeding project with a friend who has the room and experience with this species.

[21RegimentSAS]

@mykidsdad36@

Hi I just looked at your comment on Viperkeepers new video and you said

I'd want to keep them - they seem cute and sweet.

I have a baby boa and I said to my girlfriend that he is cute an shes like its a snake how can it be cute? LOL

but they can be cute, cant they.

[Dixetia]

That is some seriously gorgeaous snakes!

[youtubasoarus]

Some really well behaved spitters there. Very cute. That Wagler Pit Viper is absolutely stunning.

[HordeFTL]

Nice one Al! I must say you are the person I respect most here on youtube.

[eliteoption]

Those spitters are amazing, truly beauty and yet deadly.

Happy Holidays Al!

[herpingeeK]

I'm not a cobra guy, but i fell inlove with these ones!

[martbook]

Thanks for all the great videos over the years. I'm a big fan and respect how you handle your animals. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year.

[BallPythonsRule]

beautiful cobras! and the rhino is stunning

[Boasandpythons]

They are very cute indeed. Talk about having a huge personality!

[mistabiggz16]

What is the Specific compound in the Spitter's venom that can Cause Blindness?

[viperkeeper]

I don't know specifically. I would guess it's one of the cytotoxins found in their venom.
