  • a video titled "puff adder bite" should show me a video of someone getting bitten by a snake. what a fucking rip off

  • well actually since snake venom is just that..VENOM not poison...in theory you could drink snake venom and feel no effects of it. the problem with a human doing it is we usually have small cuts in our mouth and our throat would close. snakes dont have those small cuts. and usually injest their own venom anyway. Hence the BITING and SWALLOWING of their pray. they use their venom to immobilize and digest tissue. :)

  • The spanish guy sounds like dracula 

  • look at all the wasted venom. dumb asses should have been prepared to milk that bad boy, instead of wasting all that venom.

  • what idiots

  • @Rebelconformist82 Malpolon is a snake

  • from a professional perpective they handled that snake pretty dangerously and it almost tagged one of them when they let it go

  • @sonofpikaia whats malpolon? also i saw a very big funnel web spider when i was doing some work outside malaga btw

  • @sonofpikaia Yeah , also the egyptian mongoose, chameleon, and african genet, african mantis have made it to southern spain, the puff adder for some reason probably the cold winters only lives in the far south of semi desert areas of morocco and might not survive

  • @Rebelconformist82 I know, thats where they originally come from.

    But red cheek turtles from south america are also spread thru europe and the malpolon monspesulanus also lives in morocco and spain.

    So I asked it from that perspective.

    I think if you place a population of Bitis arietans in south spain they will survive and reproduce.

    Not that i mean it should be done!

  • @sonofpikaia NO ITS IN MOROCCO
