  • Those fangs were huge!

    Do you have any Golden Lanceheads?

  • @ToonandBBfan No.

  • Awesome! I'm from St.Lucia!

  • @Africanpride2009 We love visiting St. Lucia. Filmed a Snake Wrangler program for National Geographic TV on St. Lucia.

  • the way he pushes on there venom glad... how many does he kill a year by rupturing there glands???

  • None. He is just massaging the muscles around the gland to stimulate the snake to give venom. Remember that the snake's head is very mobile, so it can look like he is pushing harder than he is. We have had snakes be extracted from for over 20 years here- they are not damaged by extraction.

  • @kyreptilezoo Nice, but I've heard that they're becoming increasingly rare due to habitat loss.Anyway, cheers!

  • Jim, you're the man! It's nice to always be able to pull up one of your video's and know that it will be professional. Also, for getting these video's to all of us, somehow in the process of milking hundred's of potentially lethal snakes. Thanks as always.
