Rescue 911 - Episode 223 - "Cobra Chaos" (Part 1 of 2)

[luckysod04]

hey, how about controlling the HEAD of the snake, dumbass?

[TheCommonIdiot]

theres also a man got bit by a cobra on ripley's belive or not

[TheCommonIdiot]

Theirs also a Victim who got bitten by a cobra and he survived too like him

[archiecook55]

This person was crazy for trying to contain a pet cobra...seriously...like Corn Snakes and Garter Snakes and such are fine but COBRAS? He was asking to get bitten.

[vickiormindyb]

That's like people who think they can make a cougar cub into their pet.

Some animals are not pets, no matter HOW cute they are as cubs.

[KuramasSilverstar16]

WHAT KINDA CRAZY PERSON GETS A COBRA OR ANY KINDA VENOMUS SNAKE FOR THAT MATTER?!!!!

[HaggisMcMutton263]

The guy should get himself a girlfriend instead off a deadly snake

[EchoBoomer1987]

Enemy Arbok used bite!

[1RadicalOne]

If he was really so desperate to have a venomous snake, he should have had its venom glands surgically removed.

Then it would be as safe as other snakes of similar size.

[Fartingbellybutton]

Why Does he have a Roomate?

[SgtDonuts]

I would get a non-poisonous snake.

[MrsJadehall]

do u sitll  have poisnurs snakes

or do u have snakes arnt

[vickiormindyb]

A snake isn't an animal, it's a beast. : ]

I'll never understand why people want a snake as a pet. You can't pet it. Even if you did, it would feel cold, clammy and scaly.

I know this is true, b/c I've held snakes before.

[NathanGrammatico]

Does such a thing as a 'semi-poisonous" snake exist?

[ILovestorms]

@NathanGrammatico In my opinion, no. A snake is either poisonous or it's not.

[AFGSANFORD2]

The Florida State Trooper (FHP) is the real hero getting the man to the hospital as fast as he did.

[thedork48]

Am sorry guy you can"t baby no dam Cobra

[Tm30w06]

Not really up on all the reptile rules but how in the heck does someone in the U.S. even have the chance to purchase something like this ? A rare Albino Cobra ??? GeeeeZzzzz where do you even get something like that ...legally I mean ??

[Fartingbellybutton]

OUCH!

[angelsgurl]

what a stupid asshat, he was asking for that snake to bite him

[ILovestorms]

Probably a little naive, too.

[anamallover]

that is one cool cobra lol

[rambojuliuscaesar]

snakes ARE NOT meant to be domesticated, I don't care what anyone says, whey else would it strike the cage until it's nose bled?

[apeck100]

i love snakes........... my uncle has a bow. i held it before and it's a very calm snke. i'm not sure if there poisionous or not but they can be very nice.

[rambojuliuscaesar]

ditto for loving snakes. do you mean a boa? if so, no it is not poisonous, it is a constrictor.

[DarkDeathSaurer]

a bow is not a snake, perhaps a boa?

[littlemexicantheif]

every hosptail should have every type of anti vemon even on bottle

[PTPLauthor]

that's not as simple as it sounds.  Some Antivenin is highly perishable and those are likely to be for the deadliest venoms--like Taipan, Boomslang, COBRA, etc.

Yeah, and "Semi-poisonous"....anyone got a definition handy for THAT??

[tempo1889]

Semi poisonous? What is that I thought a snake was venomous or it isn't no inbetween.

[1nm1]

they may have meant snakes that ARE poisonous, but not likely to cause HUMAN death if bitten.

[14Waverider14]

who in the hell buys a snake...and a poisionous snake for that one...what a mistake!

[snakes3425]

the mistake was the type of Poisionous Snake, Cobras are some of the most dangerous snakes in the world, he's lucky it wasn't a King Cobra or a Spitting Cobra

[ILovestorms]

What about coral snakes?

[UmaakuKyarorin]

I like snakes, I think they are cool and cute at the same time, but there is no way I would ever want to have a poisonus snake in my house. Even the kindest animal can bite sometimes.

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

Semi Poisonus?

[Marilyn48910]

Semi poisonous snakes have venom that can cause injury, but are usually not deadly. They can kill some creatures depending on their size, but they usually can't kill a full grown human, especially a full grown mn like this one on the episode.

[EvilSpoofAuthor]

according to my snake book asian albino cobras are NOT intended as pets. and even if they sometimes appear docile, you NEVER drop your guard with them. He should have put that thing into a bag or a box before doing anything to the cage.

[chaostheoryfilms]

I remember seeing on Nat Geo some dude who had a Black Mamba and got bit, I think it was in FL too I just remembered they had to use Cobra Anti-venom to save him, and then even 6 months later he was still in bad shape, Not something to fool around with.

[pug6666]

What a about part 2?

[fangzupkobrastyle]

its up there too!

[spike354]

i remember this episode. I remember it being alot longer though

[allgood2000]

This was taken from an off-network syndicated episode, so it was probably trimmed for running time. When this segment originally aired on CBS, it was part of an extended 90-minute episode.

[masterfun40]

ironmaiden12 you do relise that ur little gaboon you have that ur "affraid" to hold... 1 bite will most likly kill you......even with the antivenin theres a 90% chance of fatality

[IR0NMAIDEN12]

i have a poisonous snake i never hold him. to scary :D

[rosestar93]

omg you do

[IR0NMAIDEN12]

yup his name is Valor he is a gaboon viper and hes not very agressive but im still to scared to hold him

[animeflowergurl]

owning a venomous snake is quite risky :) when your gut instinct tells you to avoid a snake or avoid handling one, you're doing the right thing by staying away. snakes, venomous or not, domestic or wild, can become aggressive despite their usual docile behavior. so smart thinking on your part for not handling the viper

[EvilSpoofAuthor]

Im impressed. those things have the longest fangs in the world! gotta admit they are beautiful snakes though.

[BASCKIT13]

i do

[halffade]

I remember seeing this episode on TV so long ago!!

I can't believe it's on youtube

oh wow

[rainrozery]

I don't get why he didn't put the snake into another cage in the meantime, rather than letting it slither around down his feet like that. Snakes are unpredictable, just like other wild animals or creatures. It was careless of him to think the snake wouldn't ever bite him. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. His odds weren't that good. If you want poisonous snakes, you should be prepared!

[travelplus1]

I would never have a poisonous snake

[NDW85]

I wonder what Grant's roommate was watching on the television.

[Terryfan]

If I'm not mistaking, he was watching the classic It's a Wonderful Life

[NDW85]

That's what I was thinking too.

[Terryfan]

Yeah I agree, I can tell by the scene that was show, It's A Wonderful Life is a all time classic

[NDW85]

Other rescue 911 segments that the show scens of It's a wonderful life are Senior Sharpshooter from season 1 and Balcony fall from season 4.

[Terryfan]

Really thats good to know

[NDW85]

Another episode that show scenes of It's a wonderful life is Sister saves siblings from season 3. I believe beatlemoe has already posted that one.

[6324776]

allgood2000 is cool!

[critterfreek82]

I can't help laughing at how an albino black rat snake is being used in place of the cobra during the cage shots. LAME!!

Also, why didn't Grant just pour fresh water from a pitcher or bottle into the cobra's bowl from a safe height instead of needlessly taking it out and handling it?

He also should've put the cobra in a secured garbage can or something during that time, or at least had his roomate supervising.

Most of all, Grant should have HAD ANTIVENIN available for this snake!

[12burtonboy]

those poor actors going through those reenactments

[DorvellTStewart]

Grant, you should have listened to your parents.

[gregorkrause]

"Danger and triumph" applies here lol as he faced a dangerous situation and never lost his fight with the poisonous snake.

[wertyou567]

that guy's right. the cobra is cool

[TTBurger88]

When Grant was changing the cobra's water he should've had his roomate help him keep the cobra away from his body

[Jibjub80]

I know it is a re-enactment. What does that have to do with any of my comments?

[Jibjub80]

What is a "semi-poisonous" snake? I thought they were either poisonous, or non-poisonous. When he shouts at 2:14, it sounds phony.

[evilaj2010]

It's a reenactment you retard.

[boglio]

evilaj2010, you are the retard here.

[evilaj2010]

Well if your stupidas paid attention you dumbass would realize that I was replying you moron.

[FischerFan]

"What is a "semi-poisonous" snake? I thought they were either poisonous, or non-poisonous."

There are a variety of rear-fanged snakes, predominantly from the Colubrid family, which have very small fangs and have a mildly toxic saliva that is capable of subduing prey; yet are still harmless to humans or very nearly so.

Such species are in the midst of the evolutionary process.

The African Boomslang is the most notable exception; capable of delivering a lethal bite.

[chrrycke04]

wat kind of snkae wud keep hitting the cage until he/she bleeds? Hahaha

[cheatmaster407]

thats why i wear heavy pants and jacket when i handle corbras or other snakes and never take your eyes off a snake

[Jibjub80]

I agree with Indyfan22k.  I'd prefer a pet mongoose.

[TuPaCndEaZyE]

Not really.

[allgood2000]

If anyone has this episode on tape from CBS, please message me.

[srubi74]

what is a semi-poisonous snake? aren't they either poisonous or not?

[allgood2000]

I think he meant poisonous snakes with less dangerous venom.

[vickiormindyb]

@srubi74 According to doctors, semi-poisonous means one w/ weaker venom than another.

But weaker venom makes no difference in a person who's allergic to snakes, b/c they'll have an allergic reaction that has nothing to do w/ weak or strong venom.

An allergic reaction results from the immune system's making a marker that reacts against allergen.

[srubi74]

I just don't get why someone would want to own an animal that could so easily kill them. what is the appeal? I mean, yes, a dog could kill you too, but at least you can get to know a dog's temperment. Personally, I am a dog and cat person, right now I have a cat, and he bites me sometimes, but I don't have to worry that he'll kill me

[cwistaff]

Most snake owners quickly learn their snake's "temperment" as much as cat and dog owners do.

[bellybutton4]

I remember Jake the snake.

[travelplus1]

I would be scared as a roomate to have snakes let alone poisonous snakes living in my back yard

[Unit545]

That cobra must have been thinking. I am going to get a drink, then I will bite him in the ass. Just kidding.

[lizzykat2]

I learned about King cobras when I was in school I checked out a book about

reptils too at the library My mom doesn't like snakes

[fiItxon]

Semi-poisonous lol No such thing

[tempo1889]

The first snake that guy handles before handling the cobra looks like a python more like a rock python am I correct or is it a different breed?

[wimpog97]

LOL! Non-poisonous snakes, semi-poisonous snakes, poisonous snakes...

[CrotalusCatalinensis]

For every snake handler / keeper, on the place that you have the venomous snake, there you have to keep the anti-venom (in right conditions of course), for me, an professional with snakes, its unbelievable, that you poses a venomous snake, outside of their habitat / continent, where every hospital, poses the anti-venom, but in your place, this animal is an exotic species, and the hospital don't have the anti-venom in stock!

[lizzykat2]

That was not cool when He got bitten

[Huddleupgurlz07]

i just strongly dislike snakes

[lizzykat2]

Metoo I agree with you

[NDW85]

I do have one segment from this episode on tape where a man falls off a cliff and one of his sons give 1st aid.

[allgood2000]

I got that one when it aired on Odyssey in 2001. There's at least one segment I know I'm missing from this episode about Minneapolis trauma center staff. The TV Guide lists five segments for this episode, but I don't know if there was a 6th or not.

[allgood2000]

If anyone has the rest of this episode on tape, please message me. I have some of the segments from syndication, but not all of them. I would be willing to trade some episoes for the original 90-minute version of this episode.

[gregorkrause]

I think this is called "poison pen"

[allgood2000]

No, it's called Cobra Chaos. That's what the TV Guide listed it as when it aired in syndication.

[kurfew1100]

omgcrazy!

[Lifesucksdie123]

grant's a fucking idiot...

[auburn4wins]

Is a cobra even more deadly than a typan (spelling?), which bit that Austrailian man in one episode?

[allgood2000]

No, I think a taipan bite is more deadly. Cobras kill more people, though, because taipans are more rare and usually try to avoid people rather than attack them.

[Outkasted1980]

the worlds deadliest snake is the one that just bit you. Otherwise,youre just arguing semantics.If youre asking what the most toxic snake in the world is,that would be the Inland Taipan If you want to know what most herps consider to be the most deadly snake to be in close prox.with,that would be the Black mamba,due to its speed,agility,temperament and venom toxicity.If you are talking about the snake that kills the most people per yr,that dubious distinction would go to the Russells viper.

[snakes3425]

Taipans, Fer de Lances, are far more dangerous then Cobras, Fer de Lances kill more people then any other snake in the Americas, and the Inland Taipan has the most toxic venom of any land snake

[ILovestorms]

What about the black mamba in Africa?

[Outkasted1980]

Right on the Fer De Lances, but the Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan The most toxic venom of any snake, maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. Which is enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. This snake, however, is rarely encountered, and there have been no recorded deaths from an inland bite.They usually are non-agressive towards humans.

[snakes3425]

Who keeps a Cobra as a pet yet doesn't keep Anti-Venom at his house

[gregorkrause]

this episode is cool because it was made 90 minutes rather than your typical 4 to 5 segment episode.

[niuchemist]

Clearly the term "pet cobra" is an oxymoron.

[gregorkrause]

this segment should have been in 3-D

[gregorkrause]

This segment could be cool if it was in 3-D

[bingboy20]

It is important to know that most snakes on nonpoisonous.

[KinakoIshiyama]

Well, not all snakes are dangerous. But that was a cobra!

[snakes3425]

Isn't it illegal to keep Cobras as pets

[KinakoIshiyama]

I would think so, but I'm not sure.

[polylepis]

It varies from state to state. Some states ban ownership of venomous reptiles by private keepers outright, while others restrict their possession. As a venomous reptile keeper myself, I can assure you that most of us are responsible, skilled keepers, who follow strict protocols with the animals, as well as our own saftey in mind.

[snakes3425]

Every time I watch this, I wonder why he didn't keep tongs around, to remove the snake from it's pen? Also what would have happened if it was a far more dangerous type of Cobra like a Spitting or a King

[snakes3425]

I guess I was asking, because I was wondering what would happen if a Cobra or Cobras got loose and made their way into the wild, like Burmese Pythons have in the Everglades.

[rodrigo3]

and i was about to get a snake
