Gaboon Viper Feeding

[qthth]

Sad to see such a beautiful creature forced into a tedious life in a cage so some heartless person can be amused.

[JDeviousL]

Do you know anything, and I mean ANYTHING at all about these snakes? Maybe educate yourself a little before you come spout some peta bs at me. You are talking about an animal that moves less in its natural life on a monthly basis then the size of the enclosure it is kept in.

[babeslayer117]

@JDeviousL hahaha thats hilarious dude,also your snake has rediculous strike reflexes post more vids!

[JDeviousL]

You also fail to realize a very important fact. Owning and keeping these animals, being able to show and educate people about these animals, is the very essence of what needs to be done to make any sort of resounding change

0:59 = What a sweet-looking face!

[sandyxklaws]

are you sure this is a west african? my west african has the horns on it's nose. i believe the east african's do not.

[JDeviousL]

This one was a baby, the horns at its age are hardly noticeable. West africans have more prominent horns from my experience, the thing that gives off W. vs E. gaboons are the lateral lines on the face. West africans have a single horizontal line, whereas East africans have a horizontal and vertical marking.

[sandyxklaws]

i should've known by it's meal how big it was, gotcha

[xxxMariusxxx94]

[rogodrogba]

[gstar2603]

I would love to have a gaboon viper, I think they are amazing except I have no experience around snakes that are poisen so i will stick to watching everyone else on here

[StkProductions8]

all gaboons look kewl

[gaboonvip]

[DrSpider1984]

beautiful snake,... :) and good song

i have an boa constrictor imperator and a kingsnake

--> may you watch my videos too

[tezzabadboy]

[ianthegeek]

HAHAHA! Great video! Good song choice too

[acidburn2]

[blueyedemo6]

i know it started me a lil when he striked cuz i couldnt spot him

[dddandruff]

WHY IN THE BLUE FUCK WAS THERE NO LID ON THAT TANK!!!!!!!!!

IF THAT REALLY WAS A GABBY.....

wow i dont even know what to say lol

[Heavenlyjupiter]

That was fckin` funny... I just imagene a huge "PWNED!" in red letters as the Gabby catches the rat...

[OneMixDJ]

Two weeks later....and this shit is still funny...Hahahahahahaha.....

[adam712195]

[OneMixDJ]

Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

[OneMixDJ]

Dude...the music...the music just makes this shit funny....

[timsterii]

Please check out a video of my hamster eating a pinky inside my channel!

[WarEagle7883]

I dont know whats dumber, playing a johnny cash song while the snake feeds...or having a gaboon viper in a fucking fish tank.

[ivangrozny27]

Unleash the fury, Mitch, UNLEASH...THE....FURY.

[Jimisan82]

that was pretty tight

[FEX19387]

ohh!!! poor little mouse!!!

Fuck the viper!!!:-((

[Legavaan]

shut up maaaaaaan!!!!!!!

i love mice too!!! but no F the viper!!!

[jparker1167]

nice gaboon bad choice of caging it would be more stress on the snake to be moved around before and after it eats, no gaboons arent rear fanged and mambas are alot more dangerous then gaboons

[therafster]

Gaboon vipers are so amazing creatures, from 00.04 to 00.18 i could not see the snake until the strike made me jump, very stealthy and very well adapted animals, good clip ;)

[kingboo101]

if u didnt notice look the rat does a 180 in the air thats how scared the rat was lol!

[APBTOwner2007]

No, Gabbys are not rear fanged, infact they have the longest fangs of any venomus snake. Most venomus snakes bite and hold the prey, only a few strike and let go. Yes, that is a young snake.

[chaosshredder]

dont gaboons have 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 inch fangs?

[PhantomLord]

Largest fangs of any snake.

[udfan4life]

the rat didnt even see it coming that is the most funnyest part i think

[DEEJ85]

are Gaboons rear-fanged snakes? it would explain the way it holds on to the prey. most venomous snakes bite and release and let the venom do the work.

[Mrbillybadass]

no only the deadliest snakes strike and let go because they wont have to track them after the bite and also keep themselves out of harms way, less poisoness have to hold on though

[beckyuk2001]

Holy Squat!

[braler]

i thought gaboon viper's were bigger then that, is it still a young one?

[JDeviousL]

Its an 06, definately a baby still

[alenmil]

Could a mamba eat a Gaboon viper?

[jtvovinam]

hellz no, a mamba couldnt touch a gabon viper, gaboons r huge and man\mbas r way skiny compared to them

also texas u say? i happen to live in texas as well, i hope i mite b able to geet sumthin like this 1 day. its good to know that bit of info and awesum vid

[Gaplox]

Nice Gaboon. Do you need a special permit to keep a viper?

[JDeviousL]

Pends on the state you are located in. In Texas.. No

[13lackcatmau]

Neat video, that is one snake I want to one day keep

[stinger11]

that was so fuckin cool

[Cyanidesin]

holy crap that startled me OO I think its cool you let the snake catch the mouse for itself.

[ijustwanttogeton]

Gaboon viper is my favourite snake, if you see them without the leaves aroun they look awesome, an they have the longst fangs of any snake i believe.

[dis1vi3tb0i]

geez that popped outta nowhere

[Mase326]

Dude, nice gabby. I owould be kinda freaked out by it not being in a vision cage or such though O.O Might wanna look into something non-fish tankish. GREAT music too, thats what we like here down south haha.

[JDeviousL]

That is temporary housing. He is kept inside that cage inside his larger perment housing. The small inner cage is taken out for feeding. I use it to reduce stress on neo's, same with the leaf cover. Gets them eating quicker after importation.

[xxxanacondaxxx]

would be even better without this hillbillie music

[berniemac04]

Thats Johnny Cash dude, get a life.

[poop1123]

thats sweet

[youronlynightmare]

that is a awsome vid!!
