  • actually, if you understand snake behavior at all, you know that snakes like to find small, dark places and cram themselves in there and not move much, thats what they prefer. the work that the few venom extraction facilities do is crucial for the production of antivenom to save lives, also venom is used for medical research for the production of revolutionary drugs. so you should thank these people for wrapping there fingers around the most toxic animals on earth every day to saves lives.

  • Video is very well done! Good Job!

  • Sasha is adorable!  She loves the pets!

  • 0:26 and 5:14 What kind of snake was that? A taipan?

  • Has any of this staff still survived today?

  • 2:39 the cobra is like "hey... who there??? who there?"

  • and now than I think of it.. Stephano was his role when he was pretending to be a snake expert... LOL

  • This guy sounds like Jim Carrey when he was Count Olaf disguised as Stephano in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events... lol

  • @Tokay18 Word (*)

  • One note that I noticed in this video is at 2:15, that is an Eastern Diamondback, not a Western. Otherwise it's a great video.

  • Carl and Denise are great people that really know their stuff. If you get a chance you should swing by their lab and meet them. They have a wealth of knowledge to offer anyone who walks through those doors.

  • WOW!!!! How cool! I can't wait to take my kids!! I didn't know they were there....
