Sound of Death: Sawscaled Viper sounds warning

[hoffmann9471]

Wow, one of the most venomous vipers at all !

Such beautiful the death can be...

In German we call this viper group :

"Sand Rassel Otter" , that means perhaps "Sand Rattle Adder " or more "Sand Rubber Adder ( ......- Viper) .

This here especially: Aegyptische SandRassel.....

I believe it´s a good name because the sound of an excited Sawscaled Viper is like rubbing with gravel or sand.

Great snake !

is the rattling this low in real life? im half deaf and could barely hear it in the video...thats kinda,terrifying.

[kyreptilezoo]

Scales rubbing against scales makes the noise. Warning sound to keep predators away. Much louder in person.

[lizzard9233]

good to know :)

I am so terrified of snakes, but i dont know why. Its a shame because i am really interested in them too. At the moment im just getting used to watching them on a screen. I hope i can overcome this irrational fear.

[cliffwalkinfool]

Though my fear was not overwhelming, I changed to actually wanting snakes by watching numerous "feeding" videos on YouTube. I hold a Native American tradition of empathy toward any animal who is about to be killed for food, clothing, or to feed a domesticated animal.

Never stop being cautious around both constrictors and venomous snakes. Either will kill you if you don't know what you are doing.

I'm that way about sharks.

[garyorner]

What locale is that my friend? Very nice Sawscaled. You have to show off the collection more. I know you have other goodies.......

I have a list of ones I would like to see lol

[kyreptilezoo]

Egypt. As time permits we will try to add more. You should come visit.

[garyorner]

I think that would be awesome. One of these weekends when we are both free I will have to do that.

[kyreptilezoo]

Sounds good.

[SamwiseOT]

Hey Gary-

You should interview them for your Herp Radio show. (Just recently found your show and really enjoy it.) And it can't help but bring more visitors to their zoo.

[garyorner]

I will have to talk to the KY Reptile Zoo team to see if it can be worked out. I am all for it. Jim and crew are awesome.

[kyreptilezoo]

I am sure we can work something out . Take care.

[RViperC]

[SamwiseOT]

Almost as scary as the roar of an angry king cobra. Great video.

[SCherper]

[atwageman]

I'm a private venomous keeper and enjoy seeing and studying the behavior of venomous snakes.
