00:03:42
Speaker
That's about all for that part. All right. For tonight on the description, i wanted to talk about some of my ah favorite venomous snakes. I know a lot of people do not like venomous snakes and everything. They ah call them poisonous and then it is not poisonous.
00:04:00
Speaker
The only thing poisonous is like your poison dart frogs, everything else that's in their saliva. The venomous snakes, they have venom that is inside their front is inside their fangs that they inject when they bite you.
00:04:16
Speaker
Bite their prey and everything else, and it affects different parts of your system. So I'm going to give some descriptions on a few of them, especially here in the United States. um What are the most common?
00:04:28
Speaker
To start with, though, for my favorite, I've always had a fascination with the rattlesnakes. I mean... that I think they're gorgeous snakes. They let everybody know that, hey, you're getting too close with that rattle on the back of their tail.
00:04:43
Speaker
It's just just their way, their demeanor, their look, their colors. They are some pretty sweet sweet-looking animals. they do Just to let everybody know, snakes do not chase
Rattlesnakes: Fascination and Danger
00:04:57
Speaker
you.
00:04:57
Speaker
i don't care what the folklore is, everything else. I've heard people talk about it, but yeah, other than that, back to the rattlesnakes. um Yeah, one of the most, one of my most favorite that I've just realized, and some of my keepers, I used to like the timber rattle, which I still like, a timber rattlesnake.
00:05:16
Speaker
um But my favorite is a, it's called a speckled rattlesnake. It's found out west. It almost looks like a cookies and cream color. Um, colored snake it's white with the little brown black specks and everything on it and uh i think they're pretty cool looking yeah i'd like to have one but i don't have the training or the technique i the training for to keep something like that in the space i'll admire them for my youtube channel that i watch and at the zoos and everything else but yes i would i would love to have one but i wanted to go in to kind of give uh
00:05:57
Speaker
A little educational. I mean, it's on the internet and everything else. You can look it up too, but I wanted to give some people some education on what the venom does to your body if you were ever bit by certain animals, specifically the rap rattlesnake.
00:06:13
Speaker
um What it is, is the ritle rattlesnake's venom is a hemotoxin, which attacks your cardiovascular system, the heart, the blood.
00:06:24
Speaker
And it can cause tissue damage if you don't get antivenom to take care of it and everything else. yeah But they it can be treatable.
00:06:36
Speaker
But sometimes it's if you don't get the proper help and everything else, it can be fatal and everything. um Majority of the, they're part of the pit viper family, which is they have heat pits on their face.
00:06:53
Speaker
And they they so can pick up your heat signatures of the rodents and anything else, anything that's warm-blooded. They pick it up. They're mostly nocturnal animals.
00:07:05
Speaker
Majority of them are. They hunt at night and stuff, especially the rattlesnakes. Occasionally they do. um We also have copperheads that are found.
00:07:17
Speaker
They're in the eastern states and been found out in Texas. I just did some research and everything else just so I would give the actual facts and everything. They are a very, how would I say? People said they're a very smelly snake.
00:07:36
Speaker
They give off a scent that if you're too close to them and everything else, it's like a rotten egg smell or something else. But they're also part of the viper family. um they Their bites...
00:07:49
Speaker
I've seen people and everything else where they've survived a bite and everything. But it's also another part of the hemotoxins and everything else. The colorations of them have come a long way, even in the wild.
00:08:05
Speaker
I've seen they're like a tannish brown color, creamy color. There's actually a keeper here in the States that has an albino copperhead that I've seen that they bred in the process and everything else.
00:08:20
Speaker
I mean, it's pretty neat, the different things.
Snake Behavior and Ecology
00:08:23
Speaker
And there's been non-albinos found in a while, but just different colorations are from dark to very light colored.
00:08:31
Speaker
they ah They're actually pretty neat animals. What's up, Chaka? What's up, Blaze? But yeah, they they're kind of interesting. They're interesting animals. I mean, they try to keep to themselves. When they're babies, for i'll give you some example tell you some.
00:08:48
Speaker
They actually have a bright like neon yellow tail, green tail that lures in their prey they use. And they lose that as they get to an adulthood. So there's a little bit on those.
00:09:00
Speaker
um Then we also have the water moccasin, which is also known as the cottonmouth. They're found in marshes and everything else. They're really not a water snake list per se. they They do base their cells around the watering area.
00:09:20
Speaker
um They're also part of the viper family, which infects you if you ever get bit, it affects your bloodstream and everything else. Yeah. I've never heard of anybody actually dying from a copperhead bite or a water moccasin, um but there's just been damages done to your tissue and everything else if it's treated properly.
00:09:43
Speaker
One of the most dangerous snakes that we actually have here for venomous in the United States is a coral snake. They are a very small, oh how do we say,
00:10:02
Speaker
They're mostly known for down south, Florida, Georgia, everywhere. They are a coloration almost like a milk snake. They have red, black, yellow. Some of them can be red and gray looking almost like a king snake that's found out west.
00:10:22
Speaker
They're known throughout the whole like southern states and out towards Texas and stuff. Their venom, and which is crazy, I wouldn't have ever thought this, but they're neurotoxin. They attack your nervous system and goes to your brain.
00:10:36
Speaker
It can actually shut your whole nervous system down if you're not treated fast enough for them. um it's ah It's quite interesting to think that we actually have this stuff here in the United States. They like all reptiles, especially snakes. They really don't...
00:10:55
Speaker
ah
00:10:57
Speaker
They're misjudged. We'll just put it this way. People fear what they don't understand. And with the venomous, they're just like anything else. if you As long as you leave them alone, and the only time I've ever heard of people getting bit other than being careless and messing with them and getting in there is by accident. Sometimes out in the woods, everything else, they've been stepped on or whatever, and it's an instinct to attack.
00:11:23
Speaker
But if you pay attention when you're in the woods, everything... it's very rare. It's not like they're going to come hunt you down and chase you. Like they're looking for their, their foods, rats, mice, everything else.
00:11:37
Speaker
And that's where we come in is we're building up our communities, everything else we're taking away, their livelihood, everything else.
00:11:48
Speaker
So they're going to where their food supply is. They're going to come into our towns. They're going to come into your property And instead of having somebody remove them or try to understand, they end up killing them, which they're actually good for our ecosystem.
00:12:06
Speaker
They take care of your rodent issues, everything else. um If you were ever in any of these areas that finds venomous or anything like that, or don't understand what it is, leave it alone. Call somebody to take care of them and have them removed.
00:12:21
Speaker
Please don't kill them. Because like I said, they are... They are rodent control along with a lot of other animals and stuff. But it's just back to people fear what they don't understand. And it's just instilled in them.
00:12:40
Speaker
But yeah, majority of this stuff, I love them because of they're interesting. They're different. um They're misunderstood. i mean, my ball pythons that I've had, I've showed on the show and everything else.
00:12:54
Speaker
They can bite you and everything else too, but a majority of the time with them, it's a feeding a response. Most of your snakes, especially your venomous, do not want to be bothered when they're in the wild. I mean, they're neat to admire when you go.
00:13:10
Speaker
I know people that go out looking for them and stuff just to take pictures and look at them, and they study them and everything else from afar. They don't go. poking them with sticks, agitating them, and everything else. That's when when your bites happen and all that stuff. so But, yeah, that's on the majority of that. Let me see what else.
00:13:35
Speaker
And your worst bite wise by their fangs I'm going to bring up is actually our Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake. Their fangs are pretty long and everything else and they can do some potent damage.
00:13:51
Speaker
They're actually the them in the Western Diamondback are the most leading causes of death between snake bites here in the United States. Once again, You either stumble upon them and they get bit and not treated properly, or you've agitated and pissed them off, and their only mechanism, the way the defense is, to bite.
00:14:12
Speaker
So, like I said, admire them from afar if you ever stumble upon them, everything else, and just leave them alone, but just like anything else in nature. Leave it alone.
00:14:24
Speaker
We are taking over their places they live, so we have to learn to coexist. Like I said, you don't have to kill them. Find somebody to remove them or something else.
00:14:35
Speaker
But majority of the time, they will not bother you at all. But yeah, I get protecting your kids, your dogs, your livelihood, everything else. Don't kill them. Have them removed.
00:14:46
Speaker
They can be removed. um But yeah, back to my favorite. I'm that speckled rattlesnake. Like i said, it's in a
00:14:56
Speaker
Cookies in cream color, white and black. It's found out like in Arizona, southern parts of California and everything else. It is a very beautiful snake. Unfortunately, I'm computer illiterate and can't pull up pictures to show you on the computer. So I'm sorry about that, guys.
00:15:13
Speaker
But that's one of my favorites out of the rattlesnakes. Like I said, I like the eastern diamondback, which is actually the largest venomous snake. Let throw that fact out here in the United States.
00:15:25
Speaker
They have been found in different colors, everything else from dark to very light colors. Those are next my next favorite. um I've seen them at the zoos, everything else.
00:15:39
Speaker
They're very pretty. They're very quiet, non-favorite.
00:15:48
Speaker
aggressive snakes and less provoked, like I said, with you messing with them and everything else. It's, uh, it's pretty neat. The, the lifestyle of them, the way they hunt their, everything else.
00:16:01
Speaker
And it's actually one of the most common snakes that a lot of people keep beside your exotic venomous snakes, like your cobras. Um,
00:16:14
Speaker
Inland Taipans and stuff, people actually keep those and everything else that I follow on YouTube. A lot of them are doing it for research to make anti-venom for other countries.
00:16:26
Speaker
um But yeah, I mean, they're they're awesome.
Show Updates and Engagement
00:16:30
Speaker
i love I love my reptiles. But when it comes to venomous, like I said earlier, I don't have the proper training. I don't have the space. I don't have the know-how to...
00:16:42
Speaker
properly keep the venomous snakes and how to handle them properly without special training and where I live at there's not very many people that keep these animals so I'll enjoy like I said going to the zoos watching my YouTube channels of them and stuff and seeing them and everything that way um hopefully one day i get to go out down south sometime whenever I'm down there I'd like to meet up with a couple of my YouTube people and Actually go out herping, looking for these snakes, just to see them out in the wild where they're at.
00:17:17
Speaker
But yeah, other than that, don't mess with venomous unless you have to. um Do your research. Just protect the wild. So that's about all I have on the venomous side, or the reason I like what I like and everything else.
00:17:35
Speaker
Now to bring up a subject with a lot of people in the reptile community, And just people in general, it irritates me every year they have these events. They're mostly in Texas and everything else.
00:17:48
Speaker
They have a thing called the Rattlesnake Roundup. They literally go out to the wild, to the dens. They put a gas in there to basically kind of phase the snakes out and dries them out quickly.
00:18:02
Speaker
They make it think they can actually sense like it's a fire stuff. They gather all these snakes everything else, take them and use them for I call a guilty pleasure um ah put them in a pit, everything else, and you go through, you you beat them with sticks, they stab them, they cut their heads off.
00:18:25
Speaker
I mean, I'll admit, It's not the greatest thing they ever do because all you're doing, like I said, is hurting the ecosystem and then you wonder why you have a rodent problem. um But they do this stuff yearly and they think it's okay.
00:18:41
Speaker
um They sell their skin. They make snake skin boots out of them. They sell their heads. they don't just They don't use them for... catch them and like milk them for their, their venom so they can make anti venom. They do it for money and just pure ass torture. In my opinion of the way they handle things.
00:19:03
Speaker
Uh, it just makes me cringe. People that enjoy that, they've got kids doing this stuff and everything else just because they've been taught and it's not right. I mean, me personally, it's animal cruelty.
00:19:19
Speaker
Um, There's a lot of people out there that have been trying to get it shut down. I've signed a petition to do it and help with that because honestly, the majority of the rattlesnakes out west and stuff, they're really not in people's places. They're actually out in like the hillsides and the desert and everything else out there staying to themselves and in the woods.
00:19:42
Speaker
and Like I said, they're going out gathering hundreds and hundreds of these rattlesnakes and stuff up and It's just they're killing off the population because they're being people are being ignorant, in my opinion. But that's just me.
00:19:57
Speaker
um You guys ever get a chance to look it up? I mean, i get there's people out there that they don't care about snakes or nothing else. So they might like it. I don't.
00:20:07
Speaker
I think it's wrong. um It's part of Mother Nature that these animals have been put on this earth. So that's the only thing I i don't like about them.
00:20:19
Speaker
But they... Yeah, they do it all the time out there, and it's just, I wish they would stop. And it's just, it's ridiculous to see that. And people just get educated.
00:20:32
Speaker
i mean, damn, everybody's always on their phones and in everything else. If you need want to learn something, just put it in. Take 30 seconds out of your time to look just to understand something.
00:20:44
Speaker
I mean, I get it. Nobody else wants to do it because it's not something they're interested in. But, yeah. These rattlesnake roundups is just, it's ridiculous the way things are. And it needs to be stopped.
00:20:57
Speaker
So it's no different than people doing the dog fighting, all that shit and everything else. that they just It's a money grab and they don't care. So it's just got to be stopped. It's a bunch of underground bullshit. that Except they make this rattlesnake roundup public. They actually video it, post it on YouTube and stuff.
00:21:18
Speaker
And ae I blocked the channels that that actually support this and everything else. So, I mean, it's not only here. They do this stuff overseas too with certain animals and everything and reptiles.
00:21:31
Speaker
It's just one of those deals. thats It's the back to people fear what they don't understand and stuff. So, um well, guys, if there's any questions anybody wants to ask, Blaze, you got anything or Chaka?
00:21:45
Speaker
um But, yeah. just Just understand, study what you can when you get a chance. just I mean, that's the main thing is is there's information out there. There's plenty of stuff now with the social media platforms, the Internet. You can under get educated easy on whatever there is you want to learn about these animals. Just not only the venomous snakes, but reptiles, breeds of dogs. I mean, anything.
00:22:15
Speaker
It's there. It's right at our fingertips. We need to start using it. so This is Wally. That's pretty much all I got for tonight. and Like I said, Monday night, I got it my special guest that I was supposed to have on this past Monday.
00:22:31
Speaker
