@@W0pper1997 king cobra has great eyesight they can even see very clearly at daylight unlike other snakes. Its eyesight is better than most snakes. I read king can see a moving person almost 330 feet away.
My rats do this too! I've had to switch to only clicky pens with no rubber grips because they turn into the Flash when they want to eat a grip or attempt to swallow a pen cap. Sometimes pets give us heart attacks on a regular basis like it's their ultimate life calling 😅
@@shinko6342I’ve looked up so many videos about how to do the cpr and heimlich on cats and kittens. It’s something every pet owner should know for your specific pet. So important to know!! And I’m a mom to a human as well and thankfully my boyfriend is a special Ed teacher so he’s certified and goes every year or 2 just to brush up on the skill and he is so calm. Most pet owners don’t take the time to know or learn animal cpr. You are a good human :) that’s all I’m really trying to say. Your Kitty(s) are very lucky to have you.
Kevin is basically giving a medical seminar while working in the mouth of the deadly cobra that’s quite possibly the rarest snake in the world. Absolute legend.
I could feel the anxiety you have for her well being and the love you have for her not in just your words but your tone and body language. Hope she heals swiftly and well. Glad you are all safe as well.
You are very right. This entire event was not meant to be filmed but Donny thought we should do it as a learning experience. I just felt very odd detailing Lilith condition when I was very worried on multiple levels. Thank you ! Kevin
@@NewEnglandReptile I’m so glad y’all decided to film. That is some amazing footage. I’ve never seen anything like it so clear and up close. Thanks for showing us. You are one very smart man.
That was really informational and stressful. Glad it wasn't worse, looking for updates in the coming months. Thank you for all that you do for the community.
I had to do something similar for my copperhead. She had half of the front of her face removed by a weed eater. After about a year and a half her only remaining fang got infected and it looked similar to mouth rot but it was around the fang and the tissue around it. Took me and my pest friend 3 hr. To complete what needed to be done. He held her while I was the one removing the old fang and cutting to necrotic tissue away. Had her on antibiotics for more then two months afterwords once ever other day. My girl is still kicking and loving life her new fang grew in and she acts as normal as she did when I got her from my neighbor with the weed wacker. Kevin I know it was hard to do, but you improved her life by doing what a lot of people wouldn't do. I tip my hat to you sir and my Lilith feel better soon. You have a great crew there.
Badass and props to you for such genuine care for an injured snake! Imho hot snakes shouldnt be kept outside of professionally staffed facilities but.. those injuries, that poor snake, i dont blame you for taking them under wing.
Your copperhead story reminded me of Snake Discovery's Nearly Headless Nick, wild garter who lost part of his face to a lawnmover, he used to stick his tongue out sideways, unfortinately he died last year
@@NewEnglandReptile Your welcome, I've loved reptiles my whole life and when I see one in distress it disturbs me, I definitely could see the intensity of concern and compassion for Lilith and I'm sure she'll pull through. Have a great day! 🐍🤘
@J Questly yes. Some nematodes die trying to escape their host when their host is of the reptilian sort. They then get walled off by the host's immune system, and turn into a zit of sorts
Lilith biting the towel is like an infant biting down on things when it's teething because the pressure against the area feels good and helps to push the tooth (fang) against the tissue its trying to break through. Puppies, kittens, most animals with teeth and fangs do the same thing so I expect it's the same for Lilith as any other teething creature.
i totally agree. it didn’t look like an insanely aggressive look to me. she looked a little busted up from the infection/procedure, but there was a certain look in her lil swollen eye that said “I hate you but I appreciate what you did.” lol ❤️
You think that look she gave him at the end was gratitude? lol she's not even aware that they removed a parasite and that the parasite was apparently the cause of her problems. To her it was just a stressful, confusing experience involving unwanted (but necessary) handling and biting a towel
GEEZ! I was sweating just watching, I loved Donnie's comment "promise your not gonna let that thing go" I would have been the exact same lol. She's seriously no joke, I hope she heals perfectly.
Other Moth*F***ers come looking for Kevin when something is wrong with their animals he's the F**king Man and if he doesnt know it he should hes an originator a pioneer in the Reptile Industry/Community Thanks For Taking Time & Effort to develop our primitive minds we are not worthy senpai
Growing up from the age of 4 or 5 with Lilleth on my mind. I saw what had to be her mother on TV. I'm past senior citizen so that tells you how long ago it's been. I've been in love with Lillith for EVER. THANK YOU KEVIN SO MUCH. U made me cry the whole time you had her. Thank you so very much again Kevin.
I found you guys from Clint’s videos. The amount of knowledge, dedication, and selflessness that you all show is tremendous. I wish that all of my human healthcare colleagues had the same amount of passion and compassion. Phenomenal work all the way around.
This video shows what an amazing relationship that you have with all of your snakes and other reptiles! I absolutely adore the videos that showcase what great understanding and relationship you have of reptiles!! Your channel is my absolute favorite reptile channel because of the trust and socialization techniques. A few years ago When my son was 14 he begged for a ball python I made him do research for 6 months before I would even consider a snake for him We watched alot of your videos together and they were a major positive influence over my decision. Reggie is now a valued member of our family and I am absolutely positive he is a better kept animal due to your videos and expertise!!!! We are now going on year 3 of being reptile family and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything!!!
Kevin is knowledgeable about so much! I could listen to him explain about all the reptiles all day. Its his passion that makes it all so interesting. Hope Lilith's recovery is speedy and you don't have to do that again! I was on the edge of my seat.
The amount of care and love Kevin has for his animals is so heartwarming... if more people had that level of intelligence and compassion the world would be such a better place.
Stop looking at the camera!!!! Guns are not actively trying to kill you. I like Keven and his genuine concern for the animals I think he would be as concern about a $50 snake
Thank you so much for being an awesome keeper! She is absolutely stunning. You definitely know a lot about parasitology. I would love to run a fecal just to have a definitive genius. Your videos are helping me understand many more species and their husbandry needs than what I’m being taught in animal nursing. I plan to work with exotics!
That’s so nice because my vet doesn’t know how to help me take care of my Brown Rainbow Boa and I have to go to a city 300 miles away for specialized care for her.
Poor lilith, even when under an incredible ammount of stress you guys still manage to deliver tons of knowledge. Keep up the amazing work and best wishes for a speedy recovery for that deadly lady 🤘
Every time Kevin opens his mouth I learn something man's a walking breathing snake loving genius why isn't this guy on network television what a great ambassador for animal husbandry and conservation.
Lilith is beautiful! You all were so gentle with her. She was so focused on you after her procedure. I know eventually, it will be proven, that snakes are more intelligent than we’ve given credit. 🧬
Just met Lillith through Clint's Reptiles. Have to say that we're all hoping that she makes a full recovery.. What a MAGNIFICENT animal.. You're a pretty damn amazing fellow as well.
i think that was the first time ive ever seen kevin stressed or nervous when dealing with a venomous reptile. which is totally normal. kevin you did great
This was a great video. Lilith is always on point. To see how respectful all of you are at handling and caring for her is heartwarming. Speedy recovery Lilith.
I thought this video was really touching and showed all of the NERD crew at their best, you can really see how gentle and uncomfortable the guys are at discomforting Lillith even as they try to help her. Kevin talking about the mental affects of this type of interaction for both him and Lillith were fascinating and something I hadn't thought about previously. Get well soon Lillith, you couldn't be in better hands.
She's just an absolute amazing animal to observe, one day I'd love to see her in person. Thank you for being so informative, but ontop of that, so focused on the animal's wellbeing. It's very much read that you care so much over your animals - I hope one day I can have the same knowledge and care.
What i loved about this video is how amazing you guys handled that hats off that is a pure testament to you guys well done! And wishing a speedy recovery
Thanks for sharing this. Obviously a very stressful situation, but also good for people to get to see that even with the very best care, our animals can sometimes have things go really wrong (and it's obvious that your animals are always very well cared for). I hope Lilith has a speedy recovery and is back to her normal cantankerous self again soon. ;-)
Very informative and interesting video, sorry that Lilith is going through it at the moment but wish her a full and speedy recovery and glad to see everyone is safe and sound!
Man this scared me when I read the video title I knew it was Lilith and Kevin was just stressed and worried and understandably so. I hope she's getting better each day !!!! Lilith wasn't even her usual self, you could tell and I love the towel technique. She looked at Kevin "You manhandled me dad!" But she seemed alert but chill at the same time. I think she knew Kevin was only trying to help her, even though she was a bit sour about it lol 😆 Love all of you guys, the animal's and I'm sending lot's of positive vibes to Lilith and may she soon be back to her feisty self ❤ Pls keep us updated 🙏
It’s a shame seeing such an incredible creature so stressed and in need of care- glad you guys can do what you need to in order to get her healthy again. Best of luck with her recovery!
Liliths face when she was staring at Kevin was priceless! But what an awesome video! Thanks to everyone at NERD for the amazing content and information.
She’s definately alot bigger than when y’all first got her wasn’t that only last year sometime the video with Brian barckzyk? She still means buisness all the time
Thank you for putting this on you tube! You guys rock. Hope lilith gets better. Kevin you and your crew take such good care of your animals. Can tell you're super anxious about the situation. I feel you!
I helped out at a reptile shop called Scales and Tails when I was younger, videos like this make me so happy to see because the animals are treated with such kindness and concern. I can’t tell you how many snakes we would have come back to us simply because of the people who bought them did not know how to or refused to learn how to take care of these animals that they were taking responsibility of. Thank you guys for everything you do keeping them safe and give them a home 💚
I’m sorry this happened guys, I know full and well how stressful and disheartening these situations can feel when you first notice them, and start the process of treating them. I’ve had this situations like this pop up for me before with rescues, but I can only imagine how much extra stress you guys were dealing with on top of that when considering it had happened to such a dearly loved personal animal. I’m glad she kept a good grip on the towel so you guys could more safely work with her. I’m not fully experienced with venomous snakes but I am aware of how much procedure and knowledge even basic handling requires, let alone actually preforming any complicated actions like medicating or procedures. Even though you guys prioritized her safety and comfort as much as humanly possible, I’m glad you guys stayed safe yourselves. I hope she continues to recover well, and you see some fluid reduction in her eye, so she doesn’t get as upset next time you get her out to administer some meds. You guys stay safe, thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!
I’m glad you think everything will be ok with her. Very Professional and informative at the same time. I’ve got to admit my heart was in in my throat as you were releasing her Kevin.
Wow she's so beautiful. I pray she recovers quickly. She didnt seem too stressed at all. Ive seen thrashing snakes and for her being a "queen" cobra, she knew you weren't hurting her. If anything she was saying at the end "i didnt like that but thank you". So awesome.
I so enjoy watching you tending to your snakes’ medical issues, l like how you think about invasive treatments a LOT before you decide to proceed and then, you gather all the equipment beforehand and there is always a plan and everyone knows what to do. Also, with deadly snakes like the beautiful Lileth, the experience is always infused with a little nervous tension. Which is delicious of course!
I had a Tiger Snake that when I got her, had a problem with multiple eye caps stuck on one eye she would not tube, so I was forced to handle her to see if anything could be done. It couldn’t, and she was in my collection for years with no other difficulties. You and your team did a great job with Lillith, and she is incredible! If a person owns these amazing animals, they deserve the care and treatment that you would give your children when they are ill. Hats off to you guys! Obviously well trained, experienced and trustworthy, I would tackle anything with those guys at my side. I say trustworthy because there’s not many people I would trust to hold Death by the head while I had the tail! God Bless and thanks for all you do. Happy New Year 🎊🎆!
I've kept reptiles for a while, not nearly as long as some but I wasn't alive back when Kevin started doing what he does. That said watching these medical videos somehow makes me empathize with these animals in a completely different way, seeing how vulnerable they can be to some of the same things we can be but also some very unique things put into perspective a lot. It's also nice seeing someone who isn't a vet able to pull this off, seeing that it is possible for someone without formal training to be able to help their animals which would otherwise have nowhere else to go. I don't imagine there are a lot of vets that have experience treating infected/inflamed venom glands in elapids in North America.
Unrelated: my cat had worms we couldn’t get rid of, until the dr gave him 3x the dose, that’s when he pooped out a tapeworm the circumference of a bikers finger, and 3x as long ...
Poor Kevin, you see your sorrow and concern when one of your baby’s is hurt. Admire how try you keep your head cool and steady... Hoop that Lilith recovers fully and maybe forgets how she’s been handled knowing it was for the good...
WOW....the way Lilith was staring at him after he put her back.....you could see the intelligence in her eyes....she knew who had her trapped and it was eerie. I will never think a snake stupid, not that I ever did but I never will.
I have been meaning to watch this when it came out. Hope that beautiful baby is doing better by now. One of the most prettiest snakes I have ever seen. And as always Kevin is so packed full of information and is someone I could just listen to for hrs
These vids are amazing. Your knowledge is super sweet and I like your approach and mentality to this. Ive been doing alot of research because I am going to get my first snake (Ball Python) and landed here. This is badass. Great work fellas!
Thanks for sharing Kevin. I’ve learned so much watching your videos over the years. Hope Lilith gets well quickly, I love her, she’s my spirit animal. 🤍
kevin : i love you, lilith lilith: i want you dead !! a match made in heaven :D greetings from florida USA happy holidays :) hope lilith has a speedy recovery
Oh my goodness, I've been wanting Snarfles or Lilith content, but not quite for this reason. I sure hope and pray that she recovers completely and soon. My heart goes out to you Kevin, this must distress and worry you to no end! Thank God no one was inadvertently envenomated , ( is that the word ?). Hang in there brother, I'm believe there's hundreds of fans thinking or praying for you personally. Please stay safe and healthy 🐍🤘 thank you.
Omg the way she looked at him when he was done was so heartbreaking. It's like she was asking "what did u do to me daddy" shes the cutest snake iv ever seen! And cute is the last word anybody would use to describe an adult cobra that could kill u in minutes. Great video! The compassion you have for ur animals is beautiful! Ur the first handler iv seen actually take into consideration the animals mental well being when ur interacting with them. Awesome stuff!!!

Pls keep us updated 🙏
It’s a shame seeing such an incredible creature so stressed and in need of care- glad you guys can do what you need to in order to get her healthy again. Best of luck with her recovery!
Wow. Just wow, so gentle and precise. Knowing how much damage a cobra can do this was just fn awesome. Hopefully Lilith has a speedy recovery.
21:33 The death glare tho🤣🤣 so angry with you lol
Liliths face when she was staring at Kevin was priceless!
But what an awesome video! Thanks to everyone at NERD for the amazing content and information.
She’s definately alot bigger than when y’all first got her wasn’t that only last year sometime the video with Brian barckzyk? She still means buisness all the time
Thank you for putting this on you tube! You guys rock. Hope lilith gets better. Kevin you and your crew take such good care of your animals. Can tell you're super anxious about the situation. I feel you!
Kevin and his crew are just so amazing with all their efforts
She is one lucky snake to have an owner as knowledgeable as Kevin. He has way more expertise than most vets. Get well soon Lilith!!
It’s amazing the knowledge in Kevin’s head and it’s obvious how much he cares for his critters.
Fingers crossed for her man. She's absolutely beautiful.
I helped out at a reptile shop called Scales and Tails when I was younger, videos like this make me so happy to see because the animals are treated with such kindness and concern. I can’t tell you how many snakes we would have come back to us simply because of the people who bought them did not know how to or refused to learn how to take care of these animals that they were taking responsibility of. Thank you guys for everything you do keeping them safe and give them a home 💚
Was so concerned when i saw the title, poor baby!
Hope she recovers quickly! You're amazing to watch Kevin and team!!!!!
So interesting. She is so darn smart. I imagine her memory is amazing as well!
Yes!!!!!! They remember for sure I’ve seen this over and over ! K
I’m sorry this happened guys, I know full and well how stressful and disheartening these situations can feel when you first notice them, and start the process of treating them.
I’ve had this situations like this pop up for me before with rescues, but I can only imagine how much extra stress you guys were dealing with on top of that when considering it had happened to such a dearly loved personal animal.
I’m glad she kept a good grip on the towel so you guys could more safely work with her. I’m not fully experienced with venomous snakes but I am aware of how much procedure and knowledge even basic handling requires, let alone actually preforming any complicated actions like medicating or procedures.
Even though you guys prioritized her safety and comfort as much as humanly possible, I’m glad you guys stayed safe yourselves.
I hope she continues to recover well, and you see some fluid reduction in her eye, so she doesn’t get as upset next time you get her out to administer some meds.
You guys stay safe, thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!
I’m glad you think everything will be ok with her. Very Professional and informative at the same time. I’ve got to admit my heart was in in my throat as you were releasing her Kevin.
Wow she's so beautiful. I pray she recovers quickly. She didnt seem too stressed at all. Ive seen thrashing snakes and for her being a "queen" cobra, she knew you weren't hurting her. If anything she was saying at the end "i didnt like that but thank you". So awesome.
Luckily, reptiles are TANKS... She’ll be alright!
🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
I so enjoy watching you tending to your snakes’ medical issues, l like how you think about invasive treatments a LOT before you decide to proceed and then, you gather all the equipment beforehand and there is always a plan and everyone knows what to do. Also, with deadly snakes like the beautiful Lileth, the experience is always infused with a little nervous tension. Which is delicious of course!
Yep I came running when I saw the title
I had a Tiger Snake that when I got her, had a problem with multiple eye caps stuck on one eye she would not tube, so I was forced to handle her to see if anything could be done. It couldn’t, and she was in my collection for years with no other difficulties. You and your team did a great job with Lillith, and she is incredible! If a person owns these amazing animals, they deserve the care and treatment that you would give your children when they are ill. Hats off to you guys! Obviously well trained, experienced and trustworthy, I would tackle anything with those guys at my side. I say trustworthy because there’s not many people I would trust to hold Death by the head while I had the tail! God Bless and thanks for all you do. Happy New Year 🎊🎆!
I also like to bite down on towels when people are talking about me
Haha very funny 😐😐
I've kept reptiles for a while, not nearly as long as some but I wasn't alive back when Kevin started doing what he does. That said watching these medical videos somehow makes me empathize with these animals in a completely different way, seeing how vulnerable they can be to some of the same things we can be but also some very unique things put into perspective a lot. It's also nice seeing someone who isn't a vet able to pull this off, seeing that it is possible for someone without formal training to be able to help their animals which would otherwise have nowhere else to go. I don't imagine there are a lot of vets that have experience treating infected/inflamed venom glands in elapids in North America.
Unrelated: my cat had worms we couldn’t get rid of, until the dr gave him 3x the dose, that’s when he pooped out a tapeworm the circumference of a bikers finger, and 3x as long ...
I think i was holding my breath the whole way through the video lol. Great job Kevin & Timmy!
Donny seems to be getting braver too.
You can tell how concerned Kevin is. I hope Lilith will be fine at the end.
Amazingly informative. I’ve never seen any video on a cobra this up close. Kevin is absolutely brilliant! What a mind he has.
Thank you kindly! K
That was horrible incredible keep doing the good stuff and helping animals
Poor Kevin, you see your sorrow and concern when one of your baby’s is hurt. Admire how try you keep your head cool and steady...
Hoop that Lilith recovers fully and maybe forgets how she’s been handled knowing it was for the good...
I literally have never watched anything so captivating as this.
WOW....the way Lilith was staring at him after he put her back.....you could see the intelligence in her eyes....she knew who had her trapped and it was eerie. I will never think a snake stupid, not that I ever did but I never will.
Man. What a stressful situation for everyone involved. Glad it wasn't more serious and hope she has a quick recovery.
I have been meaning to watch this when it came out. Hope that beautiful baby is doing better by now. One of the most prettiest snakes I have ever seen. And as always Kevin is so packed full of information and is someone I could just listen to for hrs
Nice 😊, how are you?
These vids are amazing. Your knowledge is super sweet and I like your approach and mentality to this. Ive been doing alot of research because I am going to get my first snake (Ball Python) and landed here. This is badass. Great work fellas!
Thanks for sharing Kevin. I’ve learned so much watching your videos over the years. Hope Lilith gets well quickly, I love her, she’s my spirit animal. 🤍
kevin : i love you, lilith
lilith: i want you dead !!
a match made in heaven :D greetings from florida USA happy holidays :) hope lilith has a speedy recovery
Oh my goodness, I've been wanting Snarfles or Lilith content, but not quite for this reason. I sure hope and pray that she recovers completely and soon. My heart goes out to you Kevin, this must distress and worry you to no end! Thank God no one was inadvertently envenomated , ( is that the word ?). Hang in there brother, I'm believe there's hundreds of fans thinking or praying for you personally. Please stay safe and healthy 🐍🤘 thank you.
Fantastic👍👍👍 So interesting and educational! My favorite so far! Kevin sure sets the bar high!Thanks so much! Keep it up...on Utube lol ❤❤
Omg the way she looked at him when he was done was so heartbreaking. It's like she was asking "what did u do to me daddy" shes the cutest snake iv ever seen! And cute is the last word anybody would use to describe an adult cobra that could kill u in minutes. Great video! The compassion you have for ur animals is beautiful! Ur the first handler iv seen actually take into consideration the animals mental well being when ur interacting with them. Awesome stuff!!!
