I have no idea why your videos have the number of views they have. The production value, information and creativity are off the charts. Please keep going I know this channel will become a huge success.
@@GreenRoomPythons No problem. Just had a terrible idea. You like to let your snakes roam, for enrichment and such. You also described yourself as being a warm tree for them to climb. I think it's time for wearable enrichment jackets. A jacket you wear that has a bunch of ropes, hoops and silly things hanging from it so you can let them "roam" while you roam. My strange brother came up with that one.
I was curious about this, and your video popped right up. I've seen info on how they move, breathe, eat, and their sensory organs. Yet nothing about their regular vision. Thank you. Also, had the same thoughts about snakes in different environments, desert, forest, water. Sleep/active patterns too. Very interesting!
Very enlightening. I loved seeing Ron and all of Soba's siblings. Soba is the spitting image of Ron. I love his green eyes. Speaking of eyes. Poor Soba scratched his eye cap. Poor guy. Having to wait for him to shed it off before I can determine whether or not to take him in and have it checked out. I don't know how it's affecting his sight, he followed his target and found his treat just fine. He's doing so well! I believe Kent. Eko and Stella's eyes look powerful enough, they could see into one's soul.
Loving your channel! Very entertaining as well as informative and educational. I would like to clear up one issue however. Snakes eye caps are not colored. They are clear. Their iris is what gives the eye it's color. So regarding the black headed python, their eye cap is not actually black. What is black is their iris. If you look close enough at 11:22 you will see a glimpse of the black headed pythons pupils. A snakes iris usually matches the coloration of the scales around it's head. This is a part of their camouflage. If the eye cap was colored, then snakes would be either blind or partially blind. This is also why when your snake sheds, the eye caps are clear while the rest of the scales show coloration and patterns. If a snake had black eye caps, it would be completely blind. My apologies if someone had already commented.
That's a great point! Thanks for the info. I'll have to look closer at the blackheads eyes.... But you're right, of course they're clear - they come off the sheds clear 😄 Thanks for your comment!
@@GreenRoomPythons Thanks for your hard work putting such wonderful video's together! I love Kent's corner, it is fantastic. Everyone commenting that this channel is underrated is absolutely correct! Here's to your continued success and growth!
7:48 I have fairy lights in my bedroom and that’s where my ball python stays, do you think you’ll be fine with like fairy lights that aren’t too bright? I mean the lights are just bright enough so that I can see around the room.
I wonder if black marks over the eyes might actually help nocturnal and crepuscular snakes see in the dark like it does for mammals. If you look at animals like raccoons, ringtail cats, the slender loris, or any number of nocturnal cat species, you’ll notice that they have have dark fur and skin around the eyes. Usually in the form of a mask, or a stripe like a normal BP. The most commonly accepted theory is that for these low-light predators, the black allows for more light to be absorbed around the eyes, and reduces glare. Having a black stripe over the eyes could serve the same purpose in snakes, allowing them to take in more light, with an added bonus of also absorbing more heat in those areas. More light to the eyes and more heat to the head would definitely help a low-light predator stay alert and sharp while hunting.
I kept hearing you talk about CHE and I wasn’t sure what it was but that makes a lot of sense, I’m glad I watched this video today! I will be getting one of those for the new enclosure next week. Right now I have a UV/Red Light “mini deep” that just came with her from the previous owner.
And I have a follow up question for future-Bob, who edits your videos? Is there a distant-future-Bob we have never seen? Who edits for distant-future-Bob? It’s like Bob-ception.
I have them out almost every day. Im not handling them the whole time because they spend a lot of time exploring the ladder. Anywhere from 20min to a couple hours depending on whether they're getting into trouble or not... Question #2: yes!
Great question! I didn't even look into aquatic snakes, but I'm sure there are differences. It seems like each species has evolved vision to suit their needs.
Omg sir I love your videos and Bear is the cutest in my opinion though I do like The Inspector's inquisitive nature! I don't have one yet, but I'm hoping to have a pied ball python myself in a few months!
Your videos are so awesome! Thank you for the education as well as the entertainment and juicy snek pron. Not like that. Wait. No, no... Nevermind. Anyway, been wanting one for years now and one of these days I'll feel confident enough to get one. Confident in taking care of it, not being afraid of it. Until then I'll be here, watching and learning.
My snake has only one eye 👁 have Kent do “Kent’s corner” on how dangerous trouser snakes are! All joking aside my BEL and HGWG het clown are strong and healthy !
@@GreenRoomPythons I remember hearing about Black Mambas literally chasing people and divebombing jeeps to get at people. The aggressiveness is one thing, but that visual prowess is something else.
Just one minute end of this video I knew before I saw this video and this is the first video I’ve looked up on Ken snakes see and this guy is funny is funny gifts and he’s a normal bro I love it keep up the videos I haven’t even seen the rest of it I’m only one minute into it it’s already classic and your brother are yeah he looks like you’re kinda like twins or something maybe I don’t know lol forever keep it up
hi bob ! i’m thinking about getting a ball python and i’m trying to do as much research as i can. i have a couple questions about feeding day. 1. can i handle my snake a couple hours before feeding time or should feeding day be set just for feeding ? i know they can get uncomfortable easily and i don’t want to mess with their feeding schedule. 2. if my ball python chooses not to eat, how long should i wait after they refuse their meal before can i handle them again ?
I have some videos on feeding that will help. Some snakes tolerate handeling before feeding but I'd wait until you know your snake well before you do that. If they don't eat, you can handle them - but I would just leave them alone until they're comfortable enough to eat :-)
I’ve been working on tap training, it’s going alright with the snakes but my crested geckos and gargoyle gecko are doing amazing on it! My tokay “Arlo” well he’s making progress. Week to week it’s hard to tell but if you knew him from 7 months ago it’s night and day!
What an awesome video! Full of facts and humour in good measure, and also going to show that you don't need a degree in biology to know stuff - you just need to do your research. Brilliant! 👍😀🐍
Hey im building a bioactive terrarium and i was gonna use a heat pad for the night in the mean time. Would lava rock be good to transfer heat through to the top soil? ill only have 4 in or so of substrate. My other idea was to burry a hide closer to the lava rocks if she wants to escape the room temp at night. It can get as low as 70-71 and i atleast want the soil to get to 75-78 so she is still cozy at night. I thought of the idea of just building her a cave closer to her pad after watching one of ur bioactive vids
Not for nothing, and I may be bias but, I dig the look. 😅 also thank you for finally shedding light on the pre-evolutionary rendering of snake ears. I've always suspected as such, now I'm convinced. 😅 great information. I just found this channel and I'm stoked.
Kent does have a point😳I haven't seen that guy in anymore movies 😳🤔OK update on 7 ball pythons today the last of seven hatched 🤓So now I'm the baby sitter for the next few weeks I have to watch them little monkeys 😅😂😝🤓
@@GreenRoomPythons thank you sooo much. I'm getting a bigger enclosure Friday. She's In a glass enclosure. I'd like to maybe go to PVC but I don't have anyone to set it up.
What I would likr to know is how they see the world if they have heat pits.Does that give them more wrap around vision with the heat spectrum to the front and the non heat off to the sides? Would that mean they would see us very differently than we think they do?
I am using a DTH heat lamp... and I noticed that it says carbon infrared (and it has a reddish glow). I also want to get a night vision webcam (I think they all use infrared).... would using these infrared lights have a negative impact (or allow them to see into my soul)?
I really honestly wonder what perception is like when you have very acute smell, and have things like Jacobson's organs and heat pits. Maybe vision is overrated. It can be fallible. My ball python's pupils are hard to see- my banana boy has black eyes so I can barely see them sometimes in the right light. I definitely notice my Children's python's pupils get big when he gets excited. So I know he's in strike first and ask questions later mode haha. It's kinda like when your cat gets nuts. I try to let him calm down before I try to interact. I also notice if his light is coming from one side, his pupils have different sizes.
If snakes can't see red I think their vision would be similar to someone with protanopia (a type of colorblindness where your red cone doesn't work) there's images online to what people with it most likely see :)
I am going to comment twice.....because I haven't finished yet and already have something to say. Jacobson's organ are so interesting. Isn't odd how rare they are....and yet .... at least two mammals and 1 reptile have them. Why not "rare, but only found in mammals, or rare, but only found in reptiles/amphibians?" As far as I know the Jacobsen's organ is only found in cats (big and small,) a mammal predator, and horses, a mammal prey, and snakes, a reptile predator.

The science is still pretty vague on that one ;-)
You are a very highly underrated snake channel. I am really enjoying your videos.

I’d love to know how all the senses play together. The vision, smelling, smelling with the tongue, and the heat pits. That’s got to be wild!

I think they also start to lose their vision as they get old, my 27-year-old ball python definitely can’t see as well as he used to

Great video as always Bob and that cracked me up at the end when Kent said he was going to wear a red tracksuit LOL
Glad you liked it! Kent is all about the snake-proofing ideas ;-)

Yeah, I think there's a wavelength they pick up on (probably beyond just a heat signature) from computers, phones, TV, etc...

How do we know the colors that animals see? I guess one can get some sort of reactions from mammals but reptiles or fish?? How?
Scientists can look at an animal's eye and see what cones they have. Different cones can detect certain colors of light.
