  • Chameleons change it's colors to blend in? I thought it was to express how they're feeling?

  • @HeyItsLight you're right; they do change according to their feelings. the writer got it wrong.

  • @HeyItsLight they felt like to camouflage

  • hey!that snake copied our utube account! ;)

  • Up until this vid, I thought a boomslang skin was something made up for Harry Potter.

  • Ekans vs. Kecleon

  • I wonder why the English speaking world hasnt translated boomslang (which is dutch) into "tree snake"

  • @Jithral I'm betting it's since we in the English speaking world already have plenty of "tree snakes", and none in the USA are venomous. "Boomslang" is more fitting for a badass deadly snake. Just my opinion.

  • 25 people cant find their chameleons

  • new mission in life, kill all boomslangs

  • wow National Geographic, nice fail spelling thought in the description :p

  • Snakes are just a penis that can climb

  • Comment removed

  • i love snakes, and man dont make a point about that stupid lizard the nature is that way i cant help it and you either.

  • Boom = tree Slang= snake...

    in Afrikaans

  • @Romeowasbleeding1 thats not treu boomslang means treesnake.

    that name comes from holland or the netherlands cuz boomslang is dutch.

    the name is created by columbis during one of his travels aroud the world.

    one of his crue members get bitten by the boomslang (in treu words green tree mamba) and hi named snake boomslang it means tree snake as i sed bifore.

    and boomslang can bi afrikans to but in treu form it is dutch.

    cuz Columbis dicovred a lot of Afrika.

  • @ThePokemonJD

    Not sure what you mean man.

    I just said Boomslang means tree snake. The word Boomslang came into use in the 18th century, way after the dutch held dominion over Souther Africa.

    Well Afrikaans originates from Dutch, and they've been living in Africa for almost 500 years now.

    It's obvious the name of the snake is Afrikaans/South African, even the name Green Mamba is South African, Mamba comes from Zulu- Zulus are a Southern African tribe.

    Columbus was Spanish anyway.

  • @Romeowasbleeding1 i am a reptile biologist

  • @ThePokemonJD

    Not doubting what you know about reptiles.

    I'm interested in etymology, ( study of word origins) and I'm pretty sure that the word boomslang comes from Afrikaans... since I know Afrikaans, and the above mentioned reasons.

  • lol,the chameleon change to brown at the ending.

  • its too late for chameleon to change its color,,

  • Ohh Man!! well thats life but that bommslang is the only chameleon remarkable predator

  • DDDDDIE!!! Boomslang!!!!

  • what an intelligent snake.

  • Booms are probably my fave snakes

  • dude, boomslangs are the best

  • People. Don't worry. Chuck Norris heard the chameleon from antarctica. Chuck Norris gave that snake a roundhouse kick to the face. The chameleon was alright.

  • @nobabiesforyou Lmao

  • Lmfao At 1:31 chameleon asshole

  • I Want Revenge! bit . ly/jerku

  • I have a question for whoever knows the answer. I have two male Senegal Chameleons who live in the same cage together. (I found out they prefer their own space after I had already purchased them). Anyway, they sleep on top of each other at night and seem to get along quite well. Is this just an unusual characteristic trait that isnt very common, or is there something more to it? They never fight each other or change colors when around each other. Does anyone know why they 2 males get along?

  • @kailuagirl87 maybe you purchased a couple of homo chameleons?

  • wow that's such an american way of saying it lol. it's pronounced "boum-slung"

  • @godzilla45654 i guess you could say its american... SLANG hahaha c wut i did thar cuz its... nvm

  • Quick and clean.

  • O.O holy crap!! the snake eats the chamaleon!!!!! OMG!

  • The boomslang is cool! So is the chameleon too! Hard to believe boomslangs are related to my gentle kingsnakes and house snakes. :)

  • the chameleon looks gay!

  • Comment removed

  • Boomslangs are cool,

  • I remember back in 1989-1990, when everyone assumed boomslangs were harmless, but then it was discovered that the venom is VERY delayed. You dont notice anything for like.. hours, to a couple days. Then all of a sudden you drop dead. XD On the plus side, that makes this one of the easier snakebites to treat, since it takes so long to take effect.

  • Boomslang = most concentrated venom of all snakes.

  • Funny, must have gotten its name bij Dutchmen. In Dutch boomslang means treesnake.

  • Stupid boomslang why did you have to eat the chameleon. I would rather let the boomslang die,hahaha

  • and its videos like this that is why i think EVERYONE should own chameleons... so that this DOES NOT happen!!!

  • @jellyreptiles Well thats the silliest comment i've seen in a while. The majority of chameleons kept these days (especially the most common ones) are captive bred. Meaning there are, and will be chameleons in the wild, no matter how many people have them as pets. Therefore, boomslangs will still be able to eat them. Boomslangs need to eat too remember ;)

  • damn i love chameleons

  • RIP chameleon

  • nooooo the chameleon wa sooo cool!

  • SICCEST SNAKE EVER.

  • ahhhh noooo i love chameleons just why snake

  • So i was watching some shit about this snake on discovery. If you were bitten and untreated, you'd start bleeding from your nose, mouth, ears, and eyes...and of course you'd die.

  • Snakes are so cool. :D

  • fucking snake -.-

  • lol

  • Serpente affascinante e al tempo stesso MICIDIALE : Karl Patterson Schmidt, nel '57, morì per il morso di un boomslang ( dispholidus typus ).

  • I lol'd when I heard the guy say 'boomslang'.
