It seemed a lot more women were into your boa than men were. Awesome snake. Thank you for help educating people about snakes and showing them snakes are not something to be afraid of. Sub'd!
Garden Snake? I loved your expression, like "Are you kidding me, Dude?" I love that you are doing your part in educating the public about our snake friends. The kids, especially. That's where the deprogramming starts. Pyro was such a good boy that day. He looks like a very social, interactive guy.
***** If you listen closely at 1:57 you'll hear someone call him a corn snake. And throughout the day 3-4 people asked if he was a ball python as well. Garden snake was my favorite though! He really was a good sport, and I can only hope weather permits us to bring him to next year's Walk. I'm sure there would be people recognizing him.
I just started keeping snakes 2 years ago. Before then I was clueless, too. I hate to admit it, but I used to be so afraid of them. I fell totally in love when my bf brought home a ball python. Now we have 15 snakes. LOL
I've done a similar thing as you, but my Boas come out on carnival day in the UK. And like you its always the women and children come up to me. The men for some odd reason hang back. I love that Boa of yours lass.
Absolutely love it. I'm a huge animal lover. But namely reptiles. Snakes have been my favorite animal for my entire life. It's amazing to see so many people so interested in your gorgeous snake. I'm sure you changed a lot of opinions on how people view them. Help Make them realise that just because it doesn't have fur doesn't mean it can't be an amazing companion. Absolutely love it.
we take our BP out as much as possible its alot of fun educating the people. we get such nice weather here in florida so he gets out often, loves kids and very calm he has gotten aolt of people to calm thier fears. glad to see you doing that. keep it up and post more please.
I love this!!! That's awesome!! This reminds of when I take my Ball Python to PetSmart!! The reactions I get is hilarious 😅! Thank you educating people that snakes aren't scary!!
It's so cool when I find snake keepers from MN. I wasn't born there but it was by far my favorite state that I've lived in. I lived in Isanti for 2 years as a kid, and I'd love to move back someday.
You just need to check the website beforehand, as the policy can change from one year to the next. I was able to bring mine because I worked for AHS and they knew I knew what I was doing as I'd brought snakes in before. Also you want to make sure the weather is warm enough, because some years have been very cold (under 50) and that's far too chilly for a snake.
I wish snakes were allowed everywhere I got kicked out of 2 parks already for taking my adult Taiwan beauty snake a family called the cops on me cause I had a dangerous animal in the park and there were kids around and my snake is not even a constrictor not that that would be dangerous either 😒😒😒😒
Just found your channel and love this, helping to educate the general public on snakes ♥️ I don’t see any recent content but hope you’re able to post again sometime 🙏🏼
AWESOME ....i have 2 true columbian red tail boas . they are sisters and compleatly different . but i could still take them both out in public . thank you for posting this video
That's so cool! I'm trying to raise Gaia (my 3 month old boa) around people so that one day I will be able to do this kind of things with her. For now, I love bringing my beardie out to meet people (most people haven't even heard of BD's here in Costa Rica, so it's pretty fun).
hi so im a new subscriber to your page and i have a fear of snakes im learning to cope because my husband loves them and i think they are beautiful and tips you can give a first timer
I'm amazed at all the positivity. If I were to try this there would be a few dozen people trying to kill my baby. Even at reptile conventions with my herp society there are still people who hate snakes and try to condemn us for having large snakes. We go there to share our passion for the animals and also to educate the people on the baby animals they might buy. I bring my baby (now 10 months) and we bring an adult (7 year old) male at 7' and 15 lbs and an adult (17 years old) female at 8.5' and 40 lbs. I'm also the weird one at my herp society who promotes massive cages for boas. The cage I'm planning on have made by someone competent with tools is a 7'Wx3'Dx5'H with anchored branches. It'll be tricky to heat but I think it will be worth it. It is based on a cage a member of a forum I'm a part of made. He made a 3mWx1mDx2mH but he built it in the room. I'm not sure I could move a much larger cage through doors.
Is it good to take your snake outside like that??? I'm just asking because we've only had our snake about 2 months and our snake likes attention and being held. She even lays on us while we watch TV. I think she would really enjoy something like this.
I'm thinking of getting a 5 month old atleast red tail boa and do you have any advice to convince my parents to buy me one? Please and thank you. Btw i love your boas❤️
Kingz Online I think one of the most important things to owning any animal while you still live under your parent's roof is having them also be interested in said animal. If your parents fear snakes, but agree to let you own one so long as they never need to care for it or feed it, what happens when you're old enough to go to college and the snake remains in their home? Likely they'd want you to get rid of it. Re-homing an adult boa is very difficult since the vast majority of people want to acquire them when they are young and easy to handle. Boas have an average lifespan of 20-30 years with proper care. That is a long commitment, one you need to make sure you're ready for. That 5 month old baby boa will, in 2-4 years time, be 5'+ in length and eating large rats and needing an enclosure that provides it at least 8 square feet of space. You also need to make sure you have funds ready for any emergency vet care. Exotic vets are expensive, and often the ailment requiring vet care comes on suddenly and cannot slowly be saved up for. Even a routine check-up will run around $200. By no means am I trying to scare you from the idea of owning a boa, or any snake for that matter. Too often I am contacted by people who can no longer keep their reptile due to lack of time/money/space, or by a parent whose child lost interest. I simply do not want you to go into this without all of the knowledge you need prior to buying your first boa. IF your parents are totally on board and you do have a plan for the future with your boa, please let me know and I will give you every bit of information you need on caging, feeding, proper care, who to buy from, reptile expos, which products I recommend, and more.
Sometimes I walk around with my monster 9 foot Boa and people almost crash because they are looking....and I always get a lot of attention and big crowds of people that come and see the snake
he is very well behaved, mine is a orange brazilian boa, she is quite shy and very quick at wrapping herself around an arm which might scare some people (and myself sometimes!)
Snakes are cold blooded which means that they really don't produce their own body heat, they rely on the temperature around them. The ambient, cool temperatures for a Boa is 80F, and since the day was 82F it made it safe to expose the boa to it for a prolonged period
That's something nobody is allowed today in the u.k due to weather been even to cold or to hot for the snakes. I do yes indeed have my very own boa snake called rocky and he will get to 14 feet bigger than me :P
why did you tell people they reach 5-6 ft? I don't have snakes but I love them and Columbian Boas can reach 8-9 ft in length. it's not "huge" by any means but it's still a decent size boa
If you have a pet snake, please do not take it out in public. I am afraid of snakes, so are alot of other people. Sometimes people will walk around with a snake, and I wont notice until they are standing right next to me. If you surprise me, I could punch you or hurt the snake. I know, its probably harmless, but that doesnt change the visceral fight or flight reaction in that moment. If you must take your snake in public, just make sure nobody is surprised when they see it.
People should absolutely be able to bring their snakes in public if they'd like. A large number of snakes are pretty docile, especially ball/royal pythons. I think the next time you see a snake out in public, it could help to be cautious but be open, ask questions, be curious and show you are interested in learning more about these beautiful creatures. You will see there is no reason to fear snakes.
Nice to see the positivity but really not in the best interest of your boa to take it for a "walk". If one person would have been bit or the boa had attempted to, your local bylaws would have went nuts.
No more nuts than had any of the 2,000+ dogs attending the Walk for Animals bitten someone. Every person bringing an animal to the event signs papers regarding this potential issue to prevent lawsuits, because they do understand accidents can happen when this many animals are gathered in one space. Attendees understand if there is an accident, it is basically their own fault and they do not get to sue the owner of the animal unless it is an extreme case. Here is part of the agreement: "I understand that participating in the event can be a hazardous activity. I also understand that I am participating at my own sole risk. I agree that Animal Humane Society, its agents, employees, sponsors, cooperating organizations, and all parties connected to this event, shall not be liable for any claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions, or causes of action, arising out of acts of active or passive negligence. I, and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, expressly release and discharge all such claims and liabilities, even though that liability may arise out of my own negligence or carelessness."
It seemed a lot more women were into your boa than men were. Awesome snake. Thank you for help educating people about snakes and showing them snakes are not something to be afraid of. Sub'd!
"is it a uhh garter snake??" BOY LMAO

+That Girl With Snakes haha I heard that and all I could think was "wow so many people are not educated on snakes!"
I just started keeping snakes 2 years ago. Before then I was clueless, too. I hate to admit it, but I used to be so afraid of them. I fell totally in love when my bf brought home a ball python. Now we have 15 snakes. LOL
@@juliew1426 how are your snakes now?
I've done a similar thing as you, but my Boas come out on carnival day in the UK. And like you its always the women and children come up to me. The men for some odd reason hang back. I love that Boa of yours lass.

1:20 what a lucky snake hahah

Some of this she was probably thinking "can I have my snakes back ?"
I love this!!! That's awesome!! This reminds of when I take my Ball Python to PetSmart!! The reactions I get is hilarious 😅! Thank you educating people that snakes aren't scary!!
"is that a ball python?" lol
"it's a garden snake?" BOY WUT??!
This is why I like taking my ball python Craig places
I'm definitely gonna do this except at a historical place in my country that many people visit. *Writes it on bucket list*
It's so cool when I find snake keepers from MN. I wasn't born there but it was by far my favorite state that I've lived in. I lived in Isanti for 2 years as a kid, and I'd love to move back someday.
“from the amazon huh” “uh from colombia”
Didn't know they allowed snakes! I want to bring my Colombian red tail next year. Gorgeous snake you have.
You just need to check the website beforehand, as the policy can change from one year to the next.

Yeah that would be too cold haha. We will see i guess

hi so im a new subscriber to your page and i have a fear of snakes im learning to cope because my husband loves them and i think they are beautiful and tips you can give a first timer
Great to see you and your snake bringing so much happiness, very positive 😀
Your boa is more social than me😆
Awwww go pyro! He's so well behaved :) has he ever been on a walk with you before? Or was this his first time
This was his first walk. We were not able to attend this year's Walk for Animals as the weather just wasn't warm enough to bring a reptile.
did you say boa constrictor? i want one now
Great video THANKS for sharing!!
I love snakes so much
Holy shit he is so beautifulllll, any idea where I can buy one?
Internet
I enjoyed this video!
Would you recommend bringing a pastel ball python?
It wasnt too cold for it?

I have the same type of boa as pyro 😄

where did you get that bag

Cool video...mine is 8 feet....bci boas can get up to 14 feet but it's not as common....the biggest they usually get is around 9 to 10 feet
i live in minnesota i could do this every damn day in summer, with correct humidity too hahaha
Sometimes I walk around with my monster 9 foot Boa and people almost crash because they are looking....and I always get a lot of attention and big crowds of people that come and see the snake
I'm glad everything worked out. great for you
Where is the walk?
awe so cute!
he is very well behaved, mine is a orange brazilian boa, she is quite shy and very quick at wrapping herself around an arm which might scare some people (and myself sometimes!)
i find it funny how it was mostly women who stopped and seen the snake lol
cool stuff
So it has to be really warm out to bring a snake outside safely? Like obviously not going to bring out a snake in the dead of winter.
Snakes are cold blooded which means that they really don't produce their own body heat, they rely on the temperature around them. The ambient, cool temperatures for a Boa is 80F, and since the day was 82F it made it safe to expose the boa to it for a prolonged period
My first time touching a snake was when I accidentally stepped on a common viper. Luckily neither of us got hurt. :D
lol you’re a lucky bastard to not be bitten
That's something nobody is allowed today in the u.k due to weather been even to cold or to hot for the snakes. I do yes indeed have my very own boa snake called rocky and he will get to 14 feet bigger than me :P
When you were next to the girl with the purple hair I thought boas got 10 ft long my boa is 10 ft 4 in
ahahhaa is that a ball python ? lol
love you
We got a snake for my brother for Christmas and now all the women like the snake and the boys and dad are scared of it lol.
why did you tell people they reach 5-6 ft? I don't have snakes but I love them and Columbian Boas can reach 8-9 ft in length. it's not "huge" by any means but it's still a decent size boa
Isn't this stressful for the snake ?
My boa is just like him but a girl lol
Women tend to love snakes..
Emoni Scott True haha. Its even in the garden of eden story
Snakes are attention seekers 😏
I would have brang my snake and my horse
If you have a pet snake, please do not take it out in public. I am afraid of snakes, so are alot of other people.

I know, its probably harmless, but that doesnt change the visceral fight or flight reaction in that moment. If you must take your snake in public, just make sure nobody is surprised when they see it.
**update from two years** you forgot that it can be too cold for snake
There's no difference in taking a dog or snake into public. Nobody cares if you don't want it to be outside just leave if it bothers you.
People should absolutely be able to bring their snakes in public if they'd like. A large number of snakes are pretty docile, especially ball/royal pythons. I think the next time you see a snake out in public, it could help to be cautious but be open, ask questions, be curious and show you are interested in learning more about these beautiful creatures.
