[LyleVertigo]

Does your zoo have a large collection of other reptiles, like turtles and tortoises?

[kyreptilezoo]

@LyleVertigo

Mostly we have venomous snakes, but we do have a a few non-venomous snakes, turtles, tortoises, and crocodilians as well.

[unalphabet]

@KasoyOneDay stupid question wat is the differance because i dont know

[kyreptilezoo]

@unalphabet Venom is injected (fangs etc.) poison is ingested.Snakes inject venom so are venomous.

[ktguitar1]

@KasoyOneDay a poison is ingested, venom is injected

[RougeWaterPoloPlayer]

[BARRON120]

Hi,

after watching ur video i had a question. Is there any reason why u open the bags on the floor and then move the snakes in the box? Why dont u just let them fall in the box immediately.

Thx

[kyreptilezoo]

If we are getting snakes in from overseas or that have otherwise had a potentially hard trip, we put them on the floor so that we can give the snake a once-over before putting it in the cage. It just lets us look at them better. If it was a short trip, then we do what you say and just put them directly into the cage from the bag.

[BARRON120]

k, ty

[kyreptilezoo]

Herp is short for herpetofauna-- otherwise known as reptiles and amphibians.

[lizziemuckle]

great for herp people?

whatever herp meens :|

just dont reply back now, i dont care.

[lizziemuckle]

i watched like 2 seconds of it, sorry :| :haha,

[kyreptilezoo]

lol. If you are not into unusual snakes this would have no excitement for you-- it is for more serious herp people.

[lizziemuckle]

this video is the most boring,tedious one i have ever watched in my life -_-

[kyreptilezoo]

Why did you watch it then?

[jparker1167]

he said that got him into venomous, now he wants some habu's but cant find them

[jparker1167]

they flew him out and he said he couldnt shoot for 8 months.

[jparker1167]

nice video. are you going to breed the habu's and would they be for sell my friend has been looking for some. he was bit by one in japan when he was in the marines.

[kyreptilezoo]

They are still in quarantine until July. It will take about 2 years to cycle them for breeding but we will attempt to breed them. Their bites can cause a lot of tissue damage. How did your friends bite turn out?

[slashrocks1980]

when i was seven i caught a rattlesnake and when i was twelve i caught two

[RougeWaterPoloPlayer]

I used be have a phobia regarding snakes until I released if I acted wisely I would probably be fine. Now I know they are just damn cool yet still dangerous.

[limeyell0w]

what do you use to make the holes in the tubs?

[kyreptilezoo]

A soldering iron. Nothing fancy, but be careful if you use one! They work great because they don't leave any rough edges.

[viperkeeper]

Whohooo very cool snakes!

[MrScienceGeek]

wow what an awesome christmas present! A present only a herper could enjoy and appreciate!!! One present Id Lovvveee to have:)

[Inzomnianet]

I really love the Protobothrops flavoviridis. Cant wait to get my hand on a pair of those.

Oh and by the way, arent "Trimeresurus tokarensis" now a days called Protobothrops tokarensis?

[kyreptilezoo]

Kristen misspoke and they are Protobothrops. She wrote the right names now in the info box. I gave her a hard time about it too.
