Dining out part 2

[DanArk0403]

Do the snakes have to learn to hunt from their mother, or do they just know what to do?

[viperkeeper]

@DanArk0403 60+ million years of evolution...

[IAMGiftbearer]

That is really interesting about the two different varieties of Green Mambas. To my untrained eye they look alike but I haven't seen them side by side, so maybe it was just to subtle. Are they a different shade of green or are there other differences that you can use to tell the Tanzanian apart from the South African type?

[viperkeeper]

@IAMGiftbearer They are variable in their range.  I was told that the SA Greens may be different enough to earn full subspecies status...

[NaturesJewels]

Thats gotta be one of the most dangerous, high paying kick a** jobs you could have. I envy you but with the family around I'll need to just stick with the corn snakes for now. I am a little excited because I'm getting a butter motley female from BHB to breed with my sunkissed corn but by now regular snake probably don't do it for you. LOL! I can't wait to see what colors I get. I LOVE GABOONS!

[NaturesJewels]

Beautiful scales and color but i would never have any venomness snakes. So I was just woundering, Why do you? For venom collection or study?

[viperkeeper]

@NaturesJewels I supply Zoo's, Venom Labs, and private collectors.

[iambeastist]

wat does hot mean for snakes?

[viperkeeper]

@iambeastist Venomous

[iambeastist]

@viperkeeper k thanks

[ApexSerpents]

Awesome video yet again sir! Thanks so much!

[TheTemest]

Can't speak for other hot handlers, but you seem to know and understand the behaviors of each one of you snakes. You have also stated that these are not pets and great care must be taken because of their being unpredictable by nature.

That said, why would you leave the cage open containing the other greens when you can't focus you attention on them at all times? I'm sure their temperaments have something to do with it, but damn, that's putting a lot of faith in something far from domestication.

[viperkeeper]

@TheTemest If they would come out, which I doubt, since it's their "home" where they feel secure, I could easily put them back. It's not like they would lunge across the room and bite me in the throat. I would never use the domestication, I use probability to guess behavior.

[TheTemest]

@viperkeeper "I use probability to guess behavior." Excellent answer. and reading between the lines owners of these

[TheeUnstopableForce]

Have you ever has a rattle snake?

[viperkeeper]

@TheeUnstopableForce Yes, lots

[TheeUnstopableForce]

@viperkeeper sorry for so many questions! but do you have a video with rattle snakes I think there very cool snakes and very interesting idk if you do requests but a rattlesnake would be very cool to see

[viperkeeper]

@TheeUnstopableForce Look in my YouTube channel, I have almost 400 videos. Snakes of the southwest is about Rattlesnakes.

[ThamnophisMan]

it's a step up from Thamnophis, I'll say that. Beautiful snake!

[vader19907]

Hey viperkeeper could you please do a video on the rattlesnakes you have thats if you still have them

[Lemuria2030]

If this green beauty gets harassed all the time by his room mates, would it be an option to give him/her a single suite?

[viperkeeper]

@Lemuria2030 Yes but I hate putting them in solitary confinement.

[sketchyman5]

@viperkeeper But Aren't they solitary animals in the wild ?

[viperkeeper]

@sketchyman5 Some species are...

[CODYPWNSALOT]

Do you know who Jay Eadon? I don't know if i spelt his name right.

[viperkeeper]

@CODYPWNSALOT Yes, Jay Eaton

[aziandna]

do venomous snakes eat smaller more frequent meals compared to pythons or boas?

[viperkeeper]

@aziandna That's more of a keepers prefference....

[DVFDrinkOrDie]

Giant coming at me with a menacing looking hook. He said "just relax, don't go over there" Yeah, right.

[jazzsnazz]

do they get conditioned to not use their venom since their food doesn't fight back?

[viperkeeper]

@jazzsnazz I'm not sure...many times I see venom on the white fur of mice/rats.

[ThePigBlimp]

how do you get them to eat one after the other i can only get my ball python to eat one thing at a time.

[viperkeeper]

@ThePigBlimp Not me, it's the snake.

[SuperHaze2010]

Great Video !! Are you in Hamm???

[viperkeeper]

@SuperHaze2010 No

[MrReptileSmile]

Sweet Video,Loving The Closeups,Remedy For That, A Little Water Misting Does The Job,Thumbs Up,And Fav This Video

[xkuzu2]

Great vids! When a snakes gently take food like on the second feeding, do they attempt to inject venom into the food/pray?

[sogmanzulu]

Do they inject venom even when the prey is dead?

Also, how long are the fangs?

[SkateNsnake]

If only they knew you arent trying to harm them...lol. And do you keep any non venomous snakes? And why do you feed them like 4 chicks in one sitting when like other snakes only get a rat a week?

[tarantulalover13]

Very cool man!

[TheRantanplan2009]

Viperkeeper best channel on youtube!

[Zepeyoig]

You do an excellent job with these uploads. Keep it coming!

[flokurt]

Thanks for this great video. May I ask you if you have a favorite snake? In your collection or among all the species in the world?

[viperkeeper]

@flokurt Every animal has it's own distinct personallity. Like asking someone which of your child is you favorite...

[TheKAMDAWG]

I like how you devote your time to these creatures, many people would be afraid of them.

[TheKAMDAWG]

nice intro

[viperkeeper]

@rolftje Yes, I got tongue twisted.

[1339LARS]

Is this a mixup ?

[thedudeoftheplace]

How do you know if hes gonna bite you or not?

[viperkeeper]

@thedudeoftheplace Body language

[MyLoveAPBT]

I am a follower of your videos because I find what you do amazing and your respect for the venomous astonishing. May I ask you why you feed only frozen thawed? Or do you only make videos of f/ted eaters?

[viperkeeper]

@MyLoveAPBT I never post videos of live feeding, which only a few species have the luxury of getting (Echis) As a rule everybody gets frozen thawed.

[sonofchaotica]

He looks so much more vibrant on the white/blue background, beautiful guy (i think kermie still takes the cake for the prettiest green though!)

[haydendillon]

you are a brave man..great job once again...cant wait for next years calendar ...

[viperkeeper]

@haydendillon Not sure I'm doing a calendar this year.

[MintyModF1]

@viperkeeper Oh go on Al! I was looking forward to next year's calendar. :-( Perhaps try the same thing as you did for the 2010 calendar? Get people to email you if they'd buy one, and if the numbers are right, go through with it?

[viperkeeper]

@MintyModF1 People lie Minty, they were about 1/3 who said they would buy one and never did...

[StopGettingFiesty]

I'm so glad you record your videos in 1080p, you will NEVER see this anywhere. Not on Natgeo, Discovery, or Animal Planet. I thank you for sharing your collection with us.

*Clicks post with a Razer Mamba*

[R3dDragon93]

That Green Mamba is a beautiful snake.
