i keep hotts aswell nice vid an gabby for people that shun us for feeding live prey well hey sorry sum snakes refuse pre killed alot of viper species have a hard time with pre killed jus do to the fact it isent warm enough for the heat pits to pick up an a gaboon isent a viper its an adder they lack heat pits
Don't think the Gaboon unloaded all its venom. Had it, the mouse probably would have died with seconds. Unbelievable how much venom a Gaboon can inject.
@TheTemest There's a drop of fluid under the mouse. By the surface tension I doubt it's urine. I don't know what venom looks like, but what else could it be? By the way, more important than how much venom goes in is where it ends up. If the fang penetrates the heart, lungs, or skull, it's all over for the mouse. I forgot what it's called but there's one vid where the mouse goes instantly into siezure. A few seconds later it stops moving and you can see blood dripping out its ear.
Because some snakes will refuse pre-killed food no matter what you do. While pre-killed food is the best option, feeding the snake live food will ALWAYS be a lot better then having the snake not eat at all.
@HitomiNoRyu just like my turtles but i dont feed them live fishi can't stand watching a fish get killed cuz I always have mutiplie tanks of fish. Isn't Gaboon the most king of all vipers?
There's nothing wrong with not liking to feed anything live. I respect that but I wanted to address that there are certain situations that you can't avoid this and you can't pass judgment on others before knowing the individual circumstances.
The person who uploaded this video even says in the comments she only STARTED with live food and then got the snake into eating pre-killed food. There's nothing wrong with that!
Pathetic. One of the most beautiful creatures on earth and for $125 you get to ruin it's life. For the next vid maybe put your hand in. That would be interesting to see.
@qthth How is this ruining the snakes life? If properly cared for that is. Honestly, your prolly doing the snake a favor keeping him safe from other dangers in the wild and providing a consistant meal. Sounds like he has got it made to me.
I have seen a lot of comments in a lot of videos about snakes being poisonous. No snake in the world is poisous. They re venomous there is a big difference, look it up. A healthy adult could milk the venom from a snake drink it and survive. Venom has to be administered to the blood stream to be fatal
Interesting Fact: The reason Gaboon vipers hold there prey is because they utiliaze their long fangs and use them as spears. They try to kill small prey items by puncturing internal organs instead of using their venom. They do this because It takes them so long to build up venom that they would rather save it for larger prey items. Nice snake by the way...
how would one be able to own a gabbon viper!? do you need to be like a herpatoligist (srry if thats spelled wrong)! to own one? Im sure most states and towns have laws against owning venomous reptiles. i know some hbave a limit on how big a pet snake can be. but nice snake!!!
very nice gaboon i'm sticking mainly to rattlers and copperheads right now maybe a gaboon down the road dont quite know if i'm ready yet (check out my vids i have some of my venomous)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
tight snake, i saw oneaaof those at the newport aquarium today xD!! You should try to handle her. ik that she's poisonous and all that but if you wear **EXTREMELY** thick gloves [ik that they have the largest fangs of any snake in the world] you'll be fine, and who knows? if you handle her enough she may become ppl friendly!! *NOTE -- DON'T REALLY TRY THAT, THAT'D BE RETARTED!
my step dad has one of these guys and she is gorgeous and very nice, devenomised of course. alot bigger of course and very heavy, but she is a very nice snake.
he said devenomised, not defanged, rather than taking out there teeth they take out there venom glans so youll still get a nasty bite just wont really harm you
Hi, funny incident: I just got a book on snakes for Christmas since I've always been fascinated by those creatures (I do NOT wanna have one as a pet though^^).
I did know this snake was incredibly poisonous but is it true it can kill a grown man instantly??!! It's written in my book but I can't actually believe it - or let's say in 2-3 minutes or something, without the antidote?
dude feed her f/t. i'm not one of those animal activists or anything. i just don't wanna see such a gorgeous gabby get bit or maybe get a parasite from live prey.
Most snakes won't take a prekilled unless you move it around for them. I don't think I'd recommend having your hand inn there to move around a prekilled for a venomous snake.
you are a fucking dumb shit butt fucker. just because its a snake doent mean its poisinis. you herd of a python or a boa or a anaconda ect. go fuck your mom and your dad at the same time and no i dont want to go out with you, i am not gay.
@snakeladyshannon I HAD A SNAKE WHEN I WAS YOUNG...I GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE IT IS DOWN-RIGHT MEAN THROWING ANOTHER ANIMAL IN THE TANK WITH NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL!!! YOU ARE A SADISTIC PERSON AND I HOPE YOU FEEL THE FEAR THAT MOUSE FEELS WHEN YOU DIE! HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!! PSYCHO-PATH
makes me miss katie. i used to have a gabby, but had to get rid of her with new laws...she used to strike and when she caught the rat, she'd shake it from side to side like a dog, then bend the critter backwards from nose to rear and swallow it stomach first. she was a scary little girl!
i actually got my gabby from a friend of mine who couldn't handle her anymore; where did you get yours?
that thing is coming from my country gabon right?? wait why is he eating that dude right there?? can t they be vegetarian?? like try to give him some salad
nice gaboon, howdocastle what snakes have you keep? you obviouly arent well respected in the reptile hobby or you wouldnt make stupid comments. shannon are you the same person that goes to the king snake chat ?
howdoucastle..I don't appreciate that comment. I agree, and escaped venomous snake is criminal..but I know plenty of people who own venomous snakes and have never been bitten. It can happen, but it's nothing to laugh at. Thank you.
hey shannon, nice gaboon...they're my favorite snake...take care of her...don't listen to what howdoucastle says..it's people like him that get bit because they don't show respect towards the snake...please post more vids!! btw I love your snake's name
when you get bit - and you will I will laugh - as a snake owner for 30 years - bottem line is - its not if you get bit but when. also remember - an escaped snake is comical an escaped venomus snake is criminal

Cool snake. Unfortunately I live in an area where owning vipers, cobras or any venomous snake as pets is illegal. With rhino vipers you have to be very careful because the antiserum for rhinos are hard to find and it has killed a person a few years ago. Anyhow that is one cool snake!
if i had a snake it'd defienetly be a gaboon or rhino viper. i love the patterns and head shapes <3
