I caught a stiletto snake when I was 11 years old living in South Africa. I was told it was non venomous by someone and used to free handle it daily for a couple weeks until I released it. Only learned how bad the venom was until i was much older. How lucky am I😱☠
@@Ghost.Bird.actually you'd be surprised of how many of the venomous snakes actually will not bite you unless you like give them a reason to there's actually quite a few honestly they don't mess with you unless you mess with them first
I remember when I was younger I held a copperhead and the lifeguard at the pond was telling my parents what it was as I released it. Haha I yelled out to them look I’m Steve Irwin. Most snakes even venomous especially here in the US won’t bite without a reason. I’m lucky here we have the gentle Ben’s of the venomous snake world.
I hadn't even heard of this snake! And I love how you refrained from ridiculous fear mongering and kept to the facts. Venomous snakes are fascinating and deserve to be respected - not feared. You're a great teacher!
Please for the next time: SKIP that damn loud music in the background! We want to listen to YOU (what YOU have to say about the snake) and not wanting to be over-voiced by that annoying music in the "background" (more likely front-ground).
@@venomman20 yeah it was a bit aggravating lol. I hate when they add music in the background. I won't give you a thumbs down and completely devistate you this time lmao. Jk of course seen this comment and had to comment myself because I was thinking the same thing lol.
I worked at the anti venom production center of Riyadh as a poisonous animal handler, we catched snakes and scorpions and milked their venoms, that mole viper (atractaspis microlepidota) is the only snake in the serpentarium that we dont milk with bare hands, we use forceps to hold it due to the risk in handling it.
22 species of Atractaspis throughout Africa. They are fossorial and live in narrow burrows and do not feed on rodents. They hunt lizards like leggless skinks in burrows thus the method of side stabbing evolve. They are common in my area and i have been bitten twice by one, the bite was basically "dry"
Yeah, the music was a bit loud, but overall a very interesting video about a very difficult snake (difficult to pronounce, that is)... I'm glad it remained fairly calm during filming. I personally have a phobia about snakes. I kept a 2' long scrub python for several months, forcing myself to handle it every day in an attempt to overcome my phobia. In the end I released it where I caught it. It's an Australian native, and I was in Australia. And I still fear snakes with a totally irrational fear. Even baby pythons. Totally irrational, but very real fear!
This snake is in middle east mostly where i live, and let me tell you few things, it killed far more than 2 people, its venom works on the heart and can be fetal in 10 minutes. Even if you catch it by the tail, it has a stinger there ( not very sharp, nor has any venom in it), but it can scare any one holding it by the tail as well, plus it can bite sideways, and downwards without opening its mouth. Very scary snake if you want to handle it by hands 😅
They enter mice dens and the fangs fly out like stiletto knife and they merely turn head like a catfish and nick each baby mice to dose them and eat num num..
It's very common in Somalia specially during the rainy season. We call it Jilbis and it causes very painful bites but most victims recovers without treatment.
I saw an video of an Englishman try to pin a snake like this in the middle of the road. He was supposed to be a snake expert and the sucker flailed and bit him while he tried to pin it down. He ended up on a wild ride to the hospital where he damn near died. And. they filmed the whole thing . A he was saying “I didn’t realize it was a side fang snake!”
@@venomman20 I really was trying to be respectful, everyone has their own preferences in life, I too make content and some comments are appreciate more than others. Usually for me, it's my audio isn't always great because I don't have good equip. I appreciate you taking me the right way friend, be safe and have a good weekend.
In jordan we have the palestinian mole viper and i have seen one before. Their name in arabic is (الأسود الخبيث). And the name is 2 adjectives that describe the word black and stelthy
This snake deserves more than this. It’s one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. I should mention that it has a thorn at the end of its tale so can sting and cause pain.
Bob Hansler would disagree on the " they won't come after you" statement. And I have to as well. I was chased from deep right field, all the way to the bleachers by a blue racer during a softball game. Didn't touch the thing. I saw him laying on the track 15' away on the other side of the fence. It was facing away from me. A cicada took a nose dive right in front of it, and it struck at it and missed. The cicada took flight away from the snake and me. That snake turned its head looking for the bug I'm guessing, saw me and the pursuit was on. I would have left Hussein Bolt in the dust and that snake was doing great at keeping pace. Explain how that wasn't a snake coming after a person in my case and Bob Hansler. Bob is a fellow youtuber, and had yet another youtuber and their wives witness the aggressive not defensive attack by that snake. Watch both of their videos on the incident. My point is, it's irresponsible to tell people snakes will not aggressively pursue humans. The majority won't, but some do.
Amen. Gotta love Bob Hansler. Excellent outdoorsman and researcher right there. I too have been chased by a few snakes. One was an exceptionally large Cottonmouth that had come out of a pond in southern Missouri and another was a rattler that I didn't have time to identify but it was pretty big. I don't think it was a Western Diamond Back but it was pretty stout and we were in the desert in Mojave, California. A friend ended up killing it due to aggressiveness. Sometimes you get ones with a bad attitude and YES they do sometimes come after you. Blue and Black Racers and Indigo Snakes are among those in North America that will definitely come after you,and at 7 miles per hour those snakes can cook right along!
I was in South Africa back in 2005 on a hunting trip and our hunting guide tried to pick one up cause he thought it was harmless and it bit his finger so we ended up putting in a bucket and drove to a local hospital after all was said and done he lost his thumb and trigger finger

This man absolutely has a point venomous snakes or not if you leave them alone they will leave you alone then they're just trying to live their life just like you weren't they really don't really care to mess with you as long as you leave them alone now if you purposely go out of your way just a mess with them then you're just asking for it you know unless you accidentally step on them that does happen but you also got to think you stepped on it it probably thought that you were trying to hurt it
My God! As a kid I used to catch these snakes in Africa. They were really tiny like worms. The only thing that gave them away were their scales and a flickering tongue. I would find them under rocks and handle them with my bare hands. I remember that some would try to bite but, they were so tiny that it never broke the skin of my palms so, I assumed that they were harmless. I never saw one this large though and some were pink like a worm. The bigger ones that I saw were black.
I'm sorry, but stiletto snakes aren't as venomous as you make them out to be. I live in an area with stiletto snakes and their 'bites' are treated mainly for the severe pain it causes, never heard of "melting bone"... Misinformation

Many years ago in northern Ohio a friend of the family went on a Bible study to this young lady's house. She owned a few vipers and milked them for side money. One day when she went there for the Bible study the girl calmly said (after they were already sitting on the couch) that one of her vipers had gotten loose and she couldn't find it...and it's container was right behind the couch where they were sitting!!! I'm not in the slightest afraid of snakes or spiders, etc...but I'll be the first one to tell you that I would not be sitting there with her after one got out of its enclosure! I'd be like "You can come to my house today thank you very much." LOL ) And as far as I know she never did find that snake and I have no idea what kind it was because it wasn't disclosed to me at the time. But I myself had 28 snakes at that particular time.

@@andreasimon2997 Yeppers I totally agree. All the snakes I had at that time were non venomous. Had a lot of fun catching many of them on farmer's lands back in the day. Corn Snakes, Milk Snake, Rat Snakes, King Snakes, Brown water snakes, Garter Snakes, you name it I had back then. My favorites were the milk snakes. Very colorful and aggressive when hungry but mild when they weren't. My son was 10 months old when I had them and he kept trying to get them so If get them out and let him pet them while I held him. That Cottonmouth we saw when we were in Missouri was the longest and fattest and deepest shiny black I've ever seen. The trail was 7 feet wide and it stretch almost completely across it! My buddy was a big wuss and wouldn't get out of the truck and when the thing took off after me he screamed like a woman! I about wet my pants laughing at him!
Nope never seen it but I did see a documentary about different types of monitors and how one guy lost his job and still let his monitors roam free in his apartment. He went missing for a week or so and the authorities checked his apartment and found him half eaten by the monitors he owned. The footage was pretty disgusting too.
OMG! I have never heard of this snake before and I have been into snakes for years...COOL! I will NOT be getting one of these as a pet but a fascinating animal nonetheless. Thank you for the information and thumbs up!
There are a few people that have recently been bitten by this snake in my country because they think it is safe to neck it.... it's mainly farmers trying to be cool in front of their friends
"I've tailed him before but only with the assistence of a hook".....2 minutes later: "I just touched a stiletto snake for the first time...interesting , very soft...very cool"
i was tagged by this snake species in Natal south Africa about 18 years ago and i can only say, it was the worst pain and swelling i have ever been though ouch, still got my hand lucky i was :)
Most of these snakes are inoffensive or far too small to envenomate a person effectively. However, some can inflict severe tissue necrosis; e.g. if the victim's thumb is bitten, the tip of that digit may be lost. Relapses may occur long after the bite.[6][7] Very few deaths have resulted from accidents with these snakes, although large individuals of Atractaspis microlepidota and a few other long-glanded species are very likely to be dangerous.[8] Some of the long-fanged species are able to stab their prey (or an unfortunate human) even while their mouths are closed, and the typical grasp used by herpetologists to securely hold venomous snakes is not necessarily safe for this group.[9][10] This ability to stab sideways even with a closed mouth is the basis for an English name used for some of them - side-stabbing snakes.[4]
I never knew this snake existed! Its venom properties alone should put this one on the map. I never knew there was a snake that could bite you from the sides of its mouth closed. Even worse, I never heard that a snake's venom can melt bones! This is really frightening!
@@venomman20 hey man I hear you I was just joking around I'm in the same boat my last ditch effort was to grow the back of my hair into a ponytail I was about 12 in Long look f****** ridiculous LOL

@@katelillo1932 It doesn't have to contain gore. There's LOTS of animal planet or DISCOVERY videos that show animal behaviors or unique traits that contain little to no gore. But they show you what they're talking about.
Senam Lawson that is true; I personally didn’t really think it was necessary for this particular example, nor would it be easy to film. The snake’s teeth protrude from its mouth, all they do is swing their head and the fangs pierce the predator or prey item. Pretty straightforward, in my personal opinion.
I know a snake ,thats rusty red and looks like that.it in the sierras at the 6000 ft level It lives inside the borrows of chip monks.ive been told it was tje red boa.I doubted it.its rail may be more blunt.never tried to bite me or fight.the first I noticed was a grey owl carrying one away.so I kept my eyes peeled.
I have heard that from many advanced keepers yet honestly I haven't seen anything to crazy while handling them. I have always thought maybe they are referring to pinning said snake which is almost impossible
@@venomman20 You would know much more than I, but I gather that the fangs sticking out the sides of the mouth makes them afraid to handle that type of snake. I remember seeing a wildlife show where the host got envenomated that way.
Hey dude the Atractaspis Dahomeyensis has 2.24 mg/kg intravascular LD50 and only 3.4 mg,a of venom so it can only kill something 1.6 kgs so how would their venom be very significant?
Atractaspis Bibronii also known as a stiletto snake or bibrons burrowing asp which also mostly lives underground and resembles a blind snake but is very venomous. Also the only snake that cannot be held behind the head safely as it just pops out a fang and an easily get a finger. From South Africa
Hey I've just subbed! I've only recently started taking an interest in Snakes, and came across your channel, You mention that this asp is cytotoxic? I have to injevt myself with cytotoxic medication every month, I'm wondering if the venom is generally used for medicinal research? Sorry if it's a dumb question.
MoSa Audio there's a guy who's featured on a Barcroft TV channel here on yt and he let's snakes bite him including Black Mambas and Taipans. He also injects Venom. He's hoping to make his body create anti bodies or something.

Very colorful and aggressive when hungry but mild when they weren't. My son was 10 months old when I had them and he kept trying to get them so If get them out and let him pet them while I held him. That Cottonmouth we saw when we were in Missouri was the longest and fattest and deepest shiny black I've ever seen. The trail was 7 feet wide and it stretch almost completely across it! My buddy was a big wuss and wouldn't get out of the truck and when the thing took off after me he screamed like a woman! I about wet my pants laughing at him!
Nope never seen it but I did see a documentary about different types of monitors and how one guy lost his job and still let his monitors roam free in his apartment. He went missing for a week or so and the authorities checked his apartment and found him half eaten by the monitors he owned. The footage was pretty disgusting too.
Can't watch a video about snakes when I can't even hear what you're saying about the snake.
Learned something new. Thanks, Sir, be careful, be safe. ❤
My buddy caught a snake that looked like this in Iraq. I'm wondering if it were a stiletto. I'm happy that he didn't get bitten.
sounds like listening to your weird friend talk about snakes in a black ops 2 lobby lol
It's also called the Fear Snake.
I think you are thinking of the inland taipan from Australia not the stelleto snake from Africa
OMG! I have never heard of this snake before and I have been into snakes for years...COOL! I will NOT be getting one of these as a pet but a fascinating animal nonetheless. Thank you for the information and thumbs up!
These snakes needs a nerf in the next update
There are a few people that have recently been bitten by this snake in my country because they think it is safe to neck it.... it's mainly farmers trying to be cool in front of their friends
That has to hurt bet they won't do that again :)
Why did they evolve such toxic venom if their prey is so tiny? One of nature's mysteries...
The music totally unnecessary thanks for the info!
Such intense musics for a dude with the most monotone voice ever
B Mamba, Forrest and monocle cobra for deadliest snake dancers in the animal kingdom, quick as shit with attitudes to match
I live my black mambas forest cobras and monocles
Never heard of a stiletto snake before.
Well I'm glad you found my video 😊
Me either. Didn't know if this was a hoax or not about this type of 🐍 but I guess not. So I would not want to be anywhere near it
Atractaspis Bibronii. Stiletto snake also known as bibrons burrowing asp. Found in South Africa
At 3:20- 3:22. The snake demonstrates its unique striking stlye.watch as it pauses then strikes the behind itslef.
"I've tailed him before but only with the assistence of a hook".....2 minutes later: "I just touched a stiletto snake for the first time...interesting , very soft...very cool"
Your the first person who caught my editing mistake many times I film and edit my videos out of sequence
@@venomman20 no worries man..happens to the best of us. Really cool snake..I had just recently been reading about these guys.
According to that title most venomous snakes can kill you without biting you.
i was tagged by this snake species in Natal south Africa about 18 years ago and i can only say, it was the worst pain and swelling i have ever been though ouch, still got my hand lucky i was :)
Ouch
Are these guys exceptionally rare in the private sector?
Most of these snakes are inoffensive or far too small to envenomate a person effectively. However, some can inflict severe tissue necrosis; e.g. if the victim's thumb is bitten, the tip of that digit may be lost. Relapses may occur long after the bite.[6][7]
Very few deaths have resulted from accidents with these snakes, although large individuals of Atractaspis microlepidota and a few other long-glanded species are very likely to be dangerous.[8] Some of the long-fanged species are able to stab their prey (or an unfortunate human) even while their mouths are closed, and the typical grasp used by herpetologists to securely hold venomous snakes is not necessarily safe for this group.[9][10] This ability to stab sideways even with a closed mouth is the basis for an English name used for some of them - side-stabbing snakes.[4]
Stilettos are the only ones that I'd never mess with.... Besides black mambas.
I never knew this snake existed! Its venom properties alone should put this one on the map. I never knew there was a snake that could bite you from the sides of its mouth closed. Even worse, I never heard that a snake's venom can melt bones! This is really frightening!
What's up bro you look like Steven Seagal that little bun LOL
Finally got out of jail for selling illegal animals
People ask why I’m afraid of snakes. Well this is part of the reason
How cool is that!? A sabre-toothed snake!
You won’t be saying oh it’s a really cute snake when he bites your arse. Haha
It wouldn't be pleasant but I can't blame the snake for my screw up. He would just be defending himself.
I just had to subscribe i love snakes 😍😍😍💖
I'd like to see that feeding video, did you ever make it?
love your new intro. Really interesting vid. Love your content sooo much.
Thank you i appreciate it :)
Man that is one cute man bun you got there LOL
It was my last ditch effort to keep my hair lol
@@venomman20 hey man I hear you I was just joking around I'm in the same boat my last ditch effort was to grow the back of my hair into a ponytail I was about 12 in Long look f****** ridiculous LOL
@@venomman20 also got to say your Channel is that to be the most informed and knowledgeable of all the snake channels that I watch keep it up and thank you.
Stilettos are the most beautiful in my book.
What's the friendliest snake you've ever encountered?
I’m confuse. You said it envenomates its prey without biting, but you later on said it bites if that snake has to defend itself. Which one is fact?
You definitely don't see these very often, very cool.
What's the point of posting this video just to TALK about what the snake can do, if you can't show it? And so many people gave it a thumbs up... wtf?
Senam Lawson some people watch these videos for knowledge instead of gore 🤷🏻♀️
@@katelillo1932 It doesn't have to contain gore. There's LOTS of animal planet or DISCOVERY videos that show animal behaviors or unique traits that contain little to no gore. But they show you what they're talking about.
Senam Lawson that is true; I personally didn’t really think it was necessary for this particular example, nor would it be easy to film. The snake’s teeth protrude from its mouth, all they do is swing their head and the fangs pierce the predator or prey item. Pretty straightforward, in my personal opinion.
@@katelillo1932 You see: your explanation (which took me a few seconds to read) was better than the entire video. Do you understand my comment now? 😏
Snake melts bone but you make kissy faces at it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody believes me when I say snakes can actually dig holes ..
I know a snake ,thats rusty red and looks like that.it in the sierras at the 6000 ft level
It lives inside the borrows of chip monks.ive been told it was tje red boa.I doubted it.its rail may be more blunt.never tried to bite me or fight.the first I noticed was a grey owl carrying one away.so I kept my eyes peeled.
I can't tell if it's gray or light-blue. Either way, the color is beautiful.
Booping the danger noodle.
New fear unlocked.
Extremely scary black mamba will always harm u tho.
This is why u were born with such long arms
hahahahahahaha just to keep distance
A snake that can melt your skin and bones. Huh. Seems like a great pet to me.
I understand that people who routinely handle venomous snakes don't like handling Stiletto Snakes.
I have heard that from many advanced keepers yet honestly I haven't seen anything to crazy while handling them. I have always thought maybe they are referring to pinning said snake which is almost impossible
@@venomman20 You would know much more than I, but I gather that the fangs sticking out the sides of the mouth makes them afraid to handle that type of snake. I remember seeing a wildlife show where the host got envenomated that way.
@@rkitchen1967 yeah they are no joke it would take much to get one of those fangs in a finger
Why the tease? All the goons, including myself, wanted to see the venom melting bone, instead we get a dead shoelace.
Lol dead shoelace thanks for brightening up my night
venomman20 I hope the snake didn’t take my words too seriously, just kidding buddy
How is your bone not melting after it didn’t bite you?
Hey dude the Atractaspis Dahomeyensis has 2.24 mg/kg intravascular LD50 and only 3.4 mg,a of venom so it can only kill something 1.6 kgs so how would their venom be very significant?
@ 5:07...He said, They get...
"As Black As Humanly Possible"
"WTF" --> Does does not mean
Welcome To Facebook
Lol that's just the way I talk. I have a tendency to say crap that doesn't make sense
@@venomman20 Hmmmmm K... lol ... TY
Power to ya though. I love snakes and never heard of this one. Thanks much for sharing.
Thanks for watching
من الاقوى سميه المامبا السوداء او الاسود الخبيث ؟؟؟
this is just a blindsnake are you kidding me??
It's a stiletto..
Atractaspis Bibronii also known as a stiletto snake or bibrons burrowing asp which also mostly lives underground and resembles a blind snake but is very venomous. Also the only snake that cannot be held behind the head safely as it just pops out a fang and an easily get a finger. From South Africa
Hey I've just subbed!
I've only recently started taking an interest in Snakes, and came across your channel,
You mention that this asp is cytotoxic? I have to injevt myself with cytotoxic medication every month, I'm wondering if the venom is generally used for medicinal research?
Sorry if it's a dumb question.
MoSa Audio there's a guy who's featured on a Barcroft TV channel here on yt and he let's snakes bite him including Black Mambas and Taipans. He also injects Venom. He's hoping to make his body create anti bodies or something.
Myke clarkson got tagged back in 08 it was the worst pain in the world if you ask snake master myke I'm sure he will let you use his footage they had to see his thumb into his leg to help grow skin back ..... I love how they thrash back an forth in mole or mice Barrows to eat
Dr Brian fry has been working on antivenom since 08 so there is anti venom out there
