    I live in Arizona and, as a side business, I capture snakes that wander onto someone's property. We have a number of venomous snakes here, the most formidable is the Mohave Rattlesnake, a very dangerous snake. Of all the snakes I've caught this is the one snake that never tries to run from a threat. It will stand its ground and has often advanced on the threat. It is aggressive. One thing I NEVER do is kill the snake. I simply relocate them far out in the desert. They are valuable to the ecosystem. On that note, about a year ago I found a Mohave under my house which I captured and relocated. To solve the problem I released about a 4 foot King snake under the house. He took to it very well. Since the King preys on Rattlesnakes it solved the issue of more rattlers, as well as rodents, taking up residence under the house.

      sadly the anti venom there only works on the big four. India have over 50 venomous snakes and made an antivenom for only common snakes which is a huge problem. the saw scale viper even with the antivenom can kill, but running into a krait or cobra that isnt apart of the big four equals instant death
      surprisingly to me...the deaths by snakes top crocodiles and hippos and most of them come from India with the saw scale leading the deaths for being absolutely aggressive with no warning

    The coral snakes of the world are all incredible snakes and the Blue coral is one of the most beautiful of the family. Such vibrant and beautiful colors! I can see a lot of people would love to have one as a pet/sample of the species. There's a lot of herpetologists that have at least one coral snake, mostly because there is a common coral snake in North America but they exist all over the world, and every one of them is medically dangerous in not fatal. The one that Bryan milked was a stunningly beautiful specimen! And gave a LOT of venom! The other one was watching that King Cobra demolish the collection cup when Brian was trying to collect a venom sample! LOL It should have been a much more robust membrane than a simple Medical glove stretched over a cup. It's totally obvious that it was woefully inadequate for the job, but he still got a sample so, all's well that ends well.

      AND if you go down that path you'd better be self-sufficient on the supply chain: not many pet shops sell feeder garter snakes.
      On the same subject, king cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) might be a decent control on the Burmese pythons in the Everglades by feeding on little - or at least not huge - ones.

    You are so professional. I learned so much today.
    Do you have any tips for rural homeowners who encounter snakes? My mom typically spots harmless water snakes or rat snakes. She has always killed them which breaks my heart. Her assumption is they are all venomous( or her words poisonous 😣) still working on that concept 😊
    Today I visited her place and a broad banded water snake was on her porch under a nest of hatchling finches. She assumed it was a cotton mouth and ran to her barn to get a shovel. After some convincing she put down the shovel and we grabbed a horse manure rake instead. We got the frightened snake into a cooler. Drove to a secluded area on her ranch. We then released it near the creek. Happily ever after for the snake 🐍
    But if I wasn’t here it would have been the complete opposite.
    My mom now wants to know if there are tools to relocate snakes that are safer for us and less stressful for the snake?

    One of the things about snakes that has amazed me, is that they are almost ALL MUSCLE, so are quite strong! I've handled a few in the past, but had them pee on me, probably out of fear or defense, I don't know, but I'd rather not handle them. My first encounter with a snake was as a child. We were on a hike somewhere and my father who was raised on a large farm, saw a kingsnake starting to climb up and under the roof of a shed. Daddy jumped up trying to grab it to show us, jumping higher and higher but just missed catching it. I just remember that it was a beautiful snake! My father was a physician and had a patient die of a black widow bite. The man had an allergic reaction to the spider's venom and by the time he told his boss and they got into the hospital, he was unresponsive, his back was bowed, and his abdomen was hard as a board. Daddy said the doctors promptly gave him antivenin but to no avail, he was too far gone.
    Black widow spider bites are rarely fatal, but if a person is prone to allergies, they need to be more careful of venomous animals. Even bee stings can be dangerous if one is allergy prone. I've seen patients in the hospital with venomous bites and they can be very scary.
    Learn to be able to IDENTIFY any venomous animal where you live, so that you can AVOID them but also be able to tell the medical staff what bit you for faster treatment of the symptoms besides receiving the proper antivenin.

    There is a video of a guy who developed resistance to certain snake venom. He started by injecting very small amounts and gradually increasing it. Now he is pretty much immune.

    I too would have thought the saw scaled viper would have been #1 or #2 on the list. They like to hang out in heavily populated areas. I read a story of the Indian government sending out bounty hunters in a district of Bombay. They caught over 115,000 of them.

    It's funny how some snakes are aggressive and some are calm, if you catch them in a calm way.
    Where I live, there are rattle snakes, gopher snakes, king snakes and more rarely, rosy boas.
    Out of all of those, the rattle snakes are the only ones that will try to bite no matter how you approach them. Gopher snakes might seem aggressive at first but once you pick them up and hold them, they almost seem to enjoy it. Rosy boas are 100% non aggressive. You can just pick them up and they will lay there. But they have soft bodies and seem fragile so I usually leave them alone. King snakes seem to be a lot like corn snakes that you buy at the pet store. The young one are kind of pissy at first but they don't seem to make much of an effort to get away. I've had wild ones fall asleep while I'm holding them.
    I just like to catch them, look at them, show people I'm with and let them go. They are all really neat animals.

      Snakes are so awesome! I love catching them and showing people that they are not as bad as they seem. One of my favs that I have caught only 6 times in my life is the Eastern Hognose. Easy to catch, not aggressive, and after you hold them for a bit and set them down they will roll over on their back and stick their tongue out playing dead haha. They are soooo cool.
      Out of all the snakes I have caught in Wisconsin though, the meanest ones always seem to be the water snakes. Really quick and agile. Been tagged by them a few times lol. Grabbed one on a log one time when I was floating down the river and the little bugger tagged me on the nipple! He had a good aim for sure!

    A good sense of smell helped me to locate and catch different snakes. With many friends while hunting I prove I can smell snakes. Each kind of Snake has a certain kind of a very different smell. Handel enough snakes and you can sense within about fifty feet what kind of snake you are downwind in tall grass or such as a stinky Cotton Mouth snake when near water.

    When I was younger, me and a friend of mine loved the Copper head snakes. We caught them, and kept them in our homes. Mine had got out the box I had it in, and i found it while laying down getting air from a ceiling fan. I had to sneak up on that snake and catch it. I then walked to the woods near my home and turn it loose. My sister told me I should have killed it. But i would never do that to such a pretty snake. We found out it was poisonous looking it up in our Encyclopedia books. It showed a Red Skull. We tripped out finding out it was not a snake to have.

    comparing a mangrove snake to a cobra venom was a bit of a stretch. also a reticulated python doesnt need to be able to crush a persons bones and eat them in order to kill a human. big enough to bite your hand thinking its food and then wrap around your neck and kill you easily if you are alone, doesnt need to swallow you to be deadly
