Ah, Getting further into kingsnakes is TIGHT!! If you know, you know.

Are they similar size to coachwhips,hog island boas, basin green boas and girth ? Will they eat other prey as pigeons, lizard's, squirrel 🐿️ and will it eat large rat every 2,3 weeks ?

Shirt😂

I adore black ratsnakes

I just acquired a captive bred juvenile female Trans Pecos rat snake. So far she has been great at eating f/t pinkies each week. However, like yours she can be a butt head. I typically try and handle her every other day for about 30 minutes. She always is defensive, vibrating her tail and striking at my hands as I try to be gentle with her as she constantly crawls to try and escape. I was recently in Big Bend State Park in Texas a rescued a very large Trans Pecos rat snake resting in the middle of route 170. This snake was at least 5 1/2 feet long and super docile. My encounter with this beautiful, friendly snake prompted me to want to buy a captive bred one. Hopefully, with consistent, gentle handling her name will change from butt head to Hazel. 😂

I know that you still are thinking about how effing complex this video and others were to produce. I could see in your behavior how much you wanted to elaborate, but you had a limitation on the length that the video could be. You had so say to yourslef " Too much... but how do i shorten it? " 😄 I appreciate that, though... You explained as much as you could in a "surface-scratching" kinda way... You did the subject justice, though from an introductory perspective, so be proud of that. I was initially annoyed by the way you talk, but as I went through the video I gained a respect for your knowledge and passion on the subject. 🙌

that being said...

so why would you want to own it? leave shit alone. they’ve been living in peace until mf’ers like you want to capture and exploit them

I grew up part of my life in Rapid City, SD and as a kid in the 60s I absolutely loved going to Reptile Gardens. I used to catch Garter Snakes as a kid and sell them to Reptile Gardens at 25 cents apiece to put in the safari room or possibly be fed to their snake eaters. A lot has changed since then , of course I wouldn't and they wouldn't do that now. I still have captive born and bred reptiles and I will turn 70 years old soon.

My very first snake ever was a Sonoran gopher snake. I was 12 years old and an older hobbyist who lived nearby gave him to me. A great snake, very calm and a very good eater. My morph was a little darker than this one, with a more tan tail.

I live in central Mississippi and have seen them and the eastern indigo on my property

I have two water turtles that need a very good home. Have pond willing to give with them. Our friend passed away and he was a very big animal lover, and these were his babies.

Can you do a video on African File snakes?

love the video man! I got a question, which is larger in size males or females?

Shes just big boned rosy girl

Subocs don't range into Arizona, only Texas (where the Davis Mountains are) and New Mexico. Also, subocularis is their species name, their genus is Bogertophis. They're also MUCH easier to find than Grey-Banded Kings. I've found dozens of subocs, but still haven't found an alterna.

I have a 5yr old BCO, her feeding response is similar to a retic. She’s so calm after she knows it’s not food time. Definitely a great species Awesome vid!

Just got my calabar from a local reptile shop, they had told me she only eats live, I trust their word they tried many things, but any tips or tricks for getting my girl on frozen?

I've been bitten by WAY more boas than pythons. That being said, the African rock python is the MEANEST animal I've ever worked with. Every one I've ever worked with has been just on fire, all the time. Very intelligent though. Burms are the best big snake for sure. They are giant ball pythons with better appetites. You do see a mean burm every now and again but more often than not they are just sweet hearts. I kept my burm in a 16 x5x5 custom enclosure. She was right at 16 feet when she passed. I miss that big girl.

Awesome delivery on the animal.

Love your channel you're very informative.

Thank you so much for showing the adult snakes!! Whenever I look online for examples of morphs, all I see are babies which isn't much help since they change color as they age.

you left out one of thier best traits...they are not only very inteligent and curious. but they are very friendly towards poeple and are extreamly easy to tame to the point where you could pick up a wild one and make a new best friend that same day.

getting a CB black baby this week !

Thank you for giving this species a spot light I have rescued one of these guys and am doing the best I can but there is NO care advice out there for these guys 😢but my.boy is so sweet and friendly he has a cuddle every night he sits on the bed and curles up in my legs and sleeps ❤

This is just freaking fantastic. I can not thank you enough. My big girl is quickly outgrowing her current home and even though I only have two - you have made this so unbelievable easy. I appreciate this so much. I'm saving up for more of a show display cabinet but this is perfect until mine are full grown (they're only a year.) Then I can put it in the basement for perfect storage.

I’m watching this rn even though I got bit by a children’s spotted python a 2 am today lol 😂

Subscribed glad I found your channel, we love tiger salamanders hopefully we'll obtain a pair soon

Are they similar size too a rainbow boa's which are slender boas and climber's. I know both are slightly bigger than ball pythons.. my ball pythons females upto 250 gram Large rats every 2-3 wks . so i like to know can i feed black rat snakes and rainbow boa's jumbos rats which starts at 280 gram ? Also will like to know if can feed black rat snakes adult squirrel, pigeons, and guinea pigs . Can you house adults black rat snakes comfortable im 75 gallon tanks? I know that adult 6 ft California king snake's can be housed in 55 gallon tanks but there less thick girth .

I think he needs a shallow area to rest and breathe without having to swim up.

one thing I noticed about my cape is that she loves loves loves to climb and even hangs her head diagonally as if shes waiting for something to fly by.

I love mine, shes 2 years old and the favorite of all of my snakes

I remember my little brother picking up a garter snake, and he tried to give it a kiss, and boy, I think it wanted that kiss more than he did and bit his lip 😂😂😂😂

I live in the middle of the Kisatchie National Forest; 20 years ago there were only a few pockets where these snakes could be found. Now they are impossible to find. I know of a couple of re introduction efforts, but it's still wait and see. Such a shame.

Why do you event talk about this if you dont have this animals ?

Sunglow, Moonglow, no-glow, no go...I love em all! :-) lol

I'm halfway considering getting a rosey boa in the future as my first non colubrid snake but have read mixed reports as to whether or not you have to brumate them to keep them healthy (and need to brumate at a really low temperature from my understanding).

A month ago I got an adult male bull snake as my first pet snake. My mother and I love him so much. He's so active and interested everything. It was scary to tame him down because their threat display is so loud and dramatic but after just two sessions he's already great with handling. I can't recommend bull snakes enough. Such fun and interesting giants. Be warned I have a 4ft by 2ft by 18in enclosure which seems massive to me and I'm already considering upgrading to a 6*2*2 because of how active and interested in everything he is.

Wow big one

Ugh dream snake. The deep red ones are so pretty

My bci female is 9 ft! Big girl

I buy a snake last year and it eats but for some reason she or he still skinny but over two feet but still very thin and looks small for two feet, the shed looks bigger then the actual snake. Any tips to get rid he snake more thick ?

Ow I want a frog 🧐

House snakes can also fire up like crested geckos! My black house snake will change from pitch black to a brownish color with a whiter belly. It’s a pretty cool thing that these snakes are able to do!

White pple are strange but discover lots of things.

The Boa is HUUUUUGE

Nice video. I have 3 breeding pairs that I keep together year around. I have had 2 clutches hatch so far in the last 2 years with another clutch in the incubator now for a December 2024 hatch. I love this active species. Beautiful snakes that are very in tune with their surroundings. I handle mine maybe weekly and although they are a bit cage defensive they usually calm down within a few minutes of being out if there isn’t a lot of excited movement like little kids jumping around .

Here in Australia we pronounce it woah-mah pie-then

I have a bredli she’s beautiful and about 7-8ft

Great video but I really hate seeing our animals overseas. Australia doesn't export our navara animals, so all the ones here would have originally been illegally taken. Unless in zoo's.
