5*s and favs, I am giving all your vids 5*s. I find it absolutely amazing that you can handle these dangerous snakes. How ever did you learn to do this and have you ever been bitten by a venomous snake? Your videos are going to save my life, i hope. I have nothing but snakes on my property. There is a creek/canal in back, close to the house, nothing but a jungle for a yard. I want to move but can't sell without giving it all away. Thanx

Very kind of you to say so. Thanks for watching.

[ojatro]

Nope. I just filmed the FVS serie for YouTube.

Thats what he said in a preivious video on here. He said in this video that it COULD kill people. Not WILL kill people. There is always a chance that something may happen. And if you watched his previous video where he said that a snake controlls the amount of venom that it gives when it bites, you would have heard him say also that it may not kill a person. Personally, I find his presentation very interesting and informative.

Yeah now I can definatly tell your wrong and imature. If you do not get antivenom, you have a real good possibility you can die. Why dont you learn more about what your talking about before you go acting like a know it all.

Im planning on finding one of these next spring. I've only found Timbers, this species would be an amazing snake to see.

@huynh12312 well you need a horse and you keep injecting small amounts of venom into it until it builds up an immunity. Eventually you can use something from the horse as antivenom. Not sure what part though

[TheRio444]

is this guy fuckin crazy or what

Just before one minute, he said POISONOUS snake. This is just a pet peeve of mine, but these snakes are completely edible. Poisonous, they are not. ;)

[LHeniser]

I could maybe pick up a snake but always have a fear putting them down, like i think as soon as i release it, the snake would shoot back and bite.

@Shenkoa360 the venom doesn't work when ingested,it works when entered into the bloodstream

[TheKraitman]

I will say this again,not only is it harmful to the snake by subjecting it to undo stress and possible infection from miliking,and possible keeping it from feeding,but there are only a handful of accredited labs where venom is supplied and those snake are under special care.but there is no reason to handle this or any other venomnous snake,unless you abosolutly have too.this was pointless and stupid.

[huynh12312]

how do you make anti-venom?? cause i wanna learn how!

[colinfun]

How dangerous is the snake after you have milked it? I would assume that that what it releases is not all that it has produced at that time so there would be some danger. On a related note, if you surgically remove the venom production, I guess it would be impossible to know what they know, but do you think the snake would realize it was not venomous?

[Shenkoa360]

You could really spike someones drink with that.
