15:38 I think whoever edited this put the wrong species here. That’s looks more like some sort of North American Ratsnake like an Eastern, Central, or Western Black Ratsnake.

Saying, in passing, that he was shot a couple a times, then immediately reminding us how much he loves snakes as the important thing to remember, is somehow very inspiring.

So, I’m guessing snake charming is a form of animal abuse then? 🤔

after being part of the reptile community for long enough I keep forgetting that snakes are even seen as scary or dangerous by most people haha. and also, you guys should have snake discovery (or maybe even better clint’s reptiles) on for a reptile-themed video

The speed at which the smile I had on my face throughout this whole video disappeared when he said people used to drink the alcohol out of the specimen jars in the Prohibition… 🫢😟🤢

I love snakes too. 😅 But I prefer when they are not being mean after tons of time I train as pet owner with my pet snake. 🐍
