Shot in the Dark

[rrredzzz]

Which snake has the most 'painfull' venom aka which snake is the absolute Worst a human would want to take a bite from ? I know some venom's cause the flesh to start rotting, some clott the blood, id like for you to educate me though. Whats the absolute Last snake youd want to take a bite from and why

[viperkeeper]

@rrredzzz Questions too broad, since I don't have the experience of being bitten or known people whom have sustained bites by all of the possibilities. I would guess: Bitis, Daboia, Echis, whould be my least favorite.

[ADbowling2000]

Mr. Brown needs to lay off on the coffee :P

[Fiestared1999]

"Mr. Brown" is one of my favorites, such an inquisitive looking face as far as snakes go. I was under the misconception that he was an Eastern Brown (Pseudonaja) rather than a King Brown, but regardless a very beautiful and interesting snake to watch.

[boasrbeast]

Is Mr. Brown an Inland Tipan?

[viperkeeper]

@boasrbeast No, A Pygmy Mulga snake

[bullsnakegal]

halloween special lol

[Jessop1993]

Mr brown is really fast and hungry

[Kojoyify]

have they still got the vemon in them

[viperkeeper]

Yes, armed & lethal

[Kojoyify]

lol Mr brown lol love the vids keep them coming

[Zelnicky]

Cool idea filming in the dark !

[dragonmissy]

lol Mr. Brown almost feel out of the cage.

Oh when is the calendars being shipped?

[viperkeeper]

Starting this up-coming Saturday, first in, first out...

[SKExotics]

Didn't you mention having them on reverse light cycles? (dark during the day) ?

[viperkeeper]

Simply to keep energy consumption down

[SKExotics]

So, was this at night or "night"

[viperkeeper]

Our day, their night

[MintyModF1]

Change you're ringtone Al....lol

[viperkeeper]

I don't think so...

[Bitis11nasicornis]

Glad to see Mr. Brown happy like a little puppy dog Lol. Looked like the house gecko was his dog bone

[v8greenmachine]

Mr Brown is the coolest snake. he is just so full of energy!

[deepakm]

Mr.Brown is awesome.

[MintyModF1]

Pygmy Mulga's are awesome in general.

But he will get you one day Al.......for sure lol

[StuntKing909]

It says that on one of the boxes. But holy shit. That would be fucking scary having one of those things chase me.

[MintyModF1]

Watch you're language on Al's site.

He already posted a video in a rant asking people to curve their words when on his page. Don't be a tool

[KillJesus]

Hi Viperkeeper. This may sound silly, but have you ever had a snake seriously hurt (or killed) by a live feed?

[viperkeeper]

They've been bitten but not seriously injured

[nickcangemi]

Mr. Brown is the real deal!

[johnny66o1]

wow how much did u feed the brown snake!!! holy hell, he ate like 8 meals..

[viperkeeper]

All of Mr. Browns videos are very short, so that's a bunch edited together...he gets a mouse a week...

[coldtoon]

What is Mr brown???

[viperkeeper]

P. rossignolii (Pygmy Mulga Snake)

[v8greenmachine]

Mr Brown is a King brown snake, otherwise known as a Mulga snake (speudechis Australis)

[viperkeeper]

The only way I could do it was by stringing clips together

[StuntKing909]

How come it says Forest cobra? and what do you mean by whackos?

[viperkeeper]

Where does it say that? They have been know to chase repected keepers I know out of a room.

[Woolfy]

looks like forest cobra at 2:52+

[viperkeeper]

Those where some babies I got for a Zoo...they didn't survive.

[RobTheGamer]

Yeah, I paused it, at 2:51-2:52 it definitely is labeled Forest Cobra.

[reptiboy]

now Al, i don't wanna question your methods since you've been working with these snakes longer than i have, but don't you think you're tempting fate by sticking appendages in the cage?

[viperkeeper]

I agree it's a questionable thing to do. It clearly IS pressing my luck, sometimes I just can't resist.

[reptiboy]

i know the feeling, I've been field herping on more than one occasion when I've wanted to play poke n spin with a Copperhead or two...but i use a fairly long hook

[viperkeeper]

You don't even what to try that with a Pit Viper.

[StuntKing909]

Hey Al, can you make a video showing you Forest cobra?

[viperkeeper]

I don't keep any Forest Cobra. My room is NOT big enough to deal with those wackos

[lordabomity]

Thanks for the video Al. =D very entertaining.

[BrianFerriera]

What species of brown snake is Mr. Brown I know you have said it before but its escaping me

[viperkeeper]

Pseudechis rossignolii

[kenazfilan]

P. rossignolii is one of Raymond Hoser's taxonomic entries: does anyone take Hoser seriously? (I know that some of his claims have been... ahem ... questionable).

I may want to drop you a line at some point: I am going to be returning to Pittsburgh soon and wondered if you knew any venomous keepers in the area looking for an apprentice. (I think i should learn how to handle green mambas from an experienced keeper before getting one myself... )

[viperkeeper]

That's current according to WW. Yes, it slighly turned my stomach to use that name but it is what it is... I don't know anybody in that area.

[MintyModF1]

You should really learn from easier snakes which are more placid.

Green Mambas aren't a wise decision for a first Hot

[MintyModF1]

Pygmy Mulga

Basically a dawrf version of the King Brown (Which is a Mulga snake)

[jxz107]

awesome vid interesting how they act in the night

mr brown is very greedy and he looks cranky all the time hes got a fast metabolism huh?

i personally dont care if it was live or dead but if you wiggle your fingers in front of your snakes wouldnt they try to bite them the next time?

[viperkeeper]

Wiggling Pinks look like pink to them...LOL

[williamjgleed]

great Vid!

How come you don't show live feedings? i agree some people wont like it, but it nature, and some wont feed frozen!!!

Thanks!

[viperkeeper]

1) Because then have asshole hanging out just to watch the action.

2) Very few get fed live food

3) We have PETA & HSUS already getting bans passed, they don't need the ammunition.

[HardjumperR]

nice vid al,really nice

i really favor that u dont show the live feeding part as it might b not appropriate for some ppl watching

just great vids u deliver us man

keep them coming

[VinceMancini]

Just got a question. I herd that one of Vipers and all predatory animals main instincts is to prey and hunt for there food, so wouldent it be a good idea to live feed all your vipers so they get that feel of hunting again?

[jxz107]

actually live is good true but they are in captivity where nothing is really natural and people would freak out at the sight of a snake eating live see some live feeding vids shaking the dead animal is similar

[viperkeeper]

I make sure they have some enrichment along the way use F/t rodents.

[lordabomity]

Vince.. You've heard wrong. They do hunt, but all some snakes need are fast movement to get them going. The feeder animal does not have to be alive to move and lure the snake to bite.

[slashrocks1980]

thats day time in real life cause u have a rversed light cycle

[deadcommuter]

I find it ridiculous ppl post videos of their snakes eating live prey.

[DesertNBCer]

um, then don't watch them. It's called "nature."

[sanremo2009]

you should have your own tv show. I find your clips really really entertaining. great job!

[violator79]

Am I mistaken, or did you actually live feed a snake? I know you said many times that you normally don't, but I was totally shocked by that! Excellent vid as always.

[viperkeeper]

I have a few snakes that will only take live food. I don't show the actual feeding on them. This is as close as I get.

[happgecko]

mr. brown looks like has some bad shed

[viperkeeper]

If he does, it's his problem...lol

[snakeman9090]

very cool man Love mr Brown :)

[MintyModF1]

Love it....Good video

How many animals in you're collection roughly?

[Lepisosteid]

Awesome video Al. Love the interactions with Mr. Brown.

[youtubasoarus]

That brown snake is cute. 'Till he bites you that is.

[Rylan46]

"ohh I touched mr browns tail" 2 seconds later imagine "Oh god it bit me!" becareful mate!

[RobTheGamer]

Hey Al, you gotta check out this video I found.

watch?v=EFWeldHtJgI

It's here on YouTube, obviously. Unreal. Never seen a squirrel behave like this.

[mistabiggz16]

Hahaha Mr brown cracks me up hes such a character.........

[CrotalusKid]

You're so good to us. Thanks for all the video!

[fart1fart1]

do they generally strike and let the mouse die or do they hold it in their mouth until I dies?

[viperkeeper]

Depends on the snakes mood.

[RobTheGamer]

Some species are more prone to "chewing" then others, like for instance the rear fanged snakes, right Al?

[lordabomity]

Nice!! A new full length =D Gonna wait for the HQ before I watch though.

[MintyModF1]

Excellent video - I will re-watch in half an hour or so when the video is fully processed in HQ

It's James....My other channel you blocked when we had a fall out.....

How many snakes do you have in you're collection roughly? I guess at 150

[kcrttheking]

mr.brown is a goofy little thing isn't he.

[RobTheGamer]

Woot, thanks Al. Great video.

[MintyModF1]

Woooo first comment! :)

[CheckOutMyBalls305]

very nice video as always! keep it up

best regards,

Alex
