Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- The Children's python (Antaresia childreni) is one of the smallest pythons on the planet. Their small size makes them very reasonable pets indeed. Despite being little, they have all the personality of much larger snakes. They are like the ackie monitors of the snake world. They are definitely one of the best and most underrated snakes you can get. So, is the Children's python the best pet snake for you? Let's find out!

You guys are so RAD! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
The most educational “pettuber” i put it like that purely cause this is a whole different category that the pet tube community needs to take a whole lotta notes from.
Emily Pittman could NOT agree more!!!! Wish he did a bird one, dog one, Nature one... I am game☺️
Teresa Tanasi the format of his videos is so pleasing to watch
Emily Pittman indeed☺️
The thing is, he doesn't OWN all these animals, he often borrows, and says why he's not ready to get one yet or why he probably will not have one of his own. Responsible ownership!
He has got to be one of the most respectable animal people I have seen so far. Him and snake discovery
Reptile: exists.
Clint: This is one of the coolest reptiles in the world!
All reptiles are cool reptiles.
I honestly can't think of a lame reptile. I can think of many that make terrible pets, but I can't think of one that isn't pretty darn cool.
@@ClintsReptiles I admit that I have a hard time thinking of a lame 1 too. Except the banalasaur. That is so boring nobody even remembers it!
@@ClintsReptiles blue side blotched lizards in western U.S. theyre literally everywhere there is dirt in California. I havent even attempted to catch one since middle school lol
@@ClintsReptiles they're all stinkin' rad!
NOT made out of children?!
0/5.
No no....it eats children......10 out of 10!
We'll you are what you eat.
Sooo
That comment was hilarious...not made of children.
Dead
basically: they smol, they very good
My spotted python is probably about 1.4 meters lol Def not small
Yus very good bois
That's pretty damn small@@starmaiden1199
My Childrens Python, Beatrice, is now a year old. She is a Python is every way. I recall when she arrived. The box was so very light and the snake bag within felt empty. Beatrice was the tiniest little creature, yet she was a real snake. She has never refused prey. A pleasure to take her out for snake enrichment. It has been a pleasure to have a Childrens Python in my snake family.
I just got my first snake, a Children's python! Thank you for encouraging me and others to not give up on my childhood dream to own a snake.
Clint deserves more subscribers the content he produces is next level stuff
Agreed! 😁👍
No one:
My sister: it’s LITERALLY going to escape, climb into my bed, and kill me
Abigail Thompson Bahah by friends escaped and is under her house now.. 😳
Literally my entire family
Just tell her they feel love...or at least loyalty like we do. So if humans bring it food why would it kill a human?
(Also the children’s python is non venomous and even if it was to bite you I would feel like a thumb tack grazing your skin)
@@canadiantoast6505 they don't feel love
@@user-mr1tq4ov5h well we really don’t know but it’s nice to think that they love you
I think I'm in love. Thank you for making me aware that these exist.
Aurora Surrealis They are amazing! I can’t wait to get mine next month. Just have to wait for him to grow-up a bit. If you want more info let me know!
I am super intrigued as well by these. To the research!
Frostmute19 They are perfect size and have beautiful patterns. There are some morphs, but not anything that looks THAT different from the wild type. I am getting a Stimson’s python, which is basically the same snake, different locality. Also, to me they kind of have a retic looking head.
Epic profile pick also how did you convince your family to let you get snakes?
I've been snake shopping for weeks, trying to find an alternative to a ball python that I just don't have the room for. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for all your videos and your enthusiasm for the hobby!
I found one of these at a place local to me and I'm trying to talk myself out of it. It's not going well.
Hi Clint.
Just wanted to let you know that, in no small part because of your channel, I am now the owner of a tiny, adorable little Children's python. Not only is it the first snake I've ever cared for, but also the first reptile.
She is absolutely enchanting, and I feel such pride when she feeds. That may sound odd, but when you're a noodle with a head that's only the size of a pencil, 'catching' and coiling your food seems pretty heckin' bold.
Keep up the great work! 😀
Clint: ...They hold on to you.
My Children's Python: That's where you're wrong, hooman! [Slides off of my neck and arm and flops to the floor]
My spotted does this. She won’t hold on, she just slithers away till she falls off lol
the aquarium and fishkeeping community really needs a Clints Reptiles of its own
I recommend checking out Cory at Aquarium Co-op if you haven't already. Although he doesn't break down each fish like Clint does with reptiles, his channel is a wealth of aquatic info.
And while not as youtube famous as Cory, Corvus Oscen, Tank Tested, Swhiskey, L.R.Bretz's Aquatics, Big Al's, JH Aquatics, KGTropicals, and Simply Betta are just a few other channels that come to mind. Most of these are freshwater though. If you're a saltwater guy Corvus and Big Al's would be your best bet from this list.
@@SurprisedPikacheesecake Thank you very much! I am actually familiar with all the different Aquarium channels and they're all excellent Cory especially does have a lot of great info, mainly I wish that more academics and scientists were sharing peer reviewed info and science based care in the aquarium community
Clint has covered some fish species.
@@ettinakitten5047 true, but few
Fun fact: in the wild, these snakes will dangle from stalactites in caves to catch small bats.
I think I've just fallen in love. It is so *CUTE*. I like snakes, but this is seriously the first time that I've ever wanted to own one.
Same for me! What a beautiful little snake! I am Australian so it would be great to have a small native python 😍
When they shed theIr scales Shine holographic rainbow!
I was like OH MY GOSH HE DID A CHILDREN PYTHONS VIDEO cause I really want to get one, they are SUPER cool! You still deserve like 10 million subs! Keep up the amazing work.
These are adorable. Any chance we could get a video on rosy boas, for another mini version of a big snek?
Yes!!!! I have a rosy and they are WONDERFUL!!!!
I consider Children's/Spotteds to be the perfect starter snake for a beginner that wants to learn some skills that transfer to more serious animals. They are hardy and forgiving of mistakes, but they have serious food responses and other behaviors that will teach you to read snakes. They are a lot of snake in a tiny package.
I saw one on my reptile store in south florida. And fell in love
If I keep watching your videos I’m going to end up converting my sitting room into a snake room full of rack, terrariums, and every snake you’ve reviewed!
Seems like a good reason to keep watching to me 😉
Same
I have a 2 year old stimsons (childrens) python and love it, but your passion and enthusiasim in the video made me appreciate it even more
I hope u read this your such an amazing and kind person I love all your reptiles my favorite is Gus Gus the Argentine tegu keep teaching people about reptiles have a great day 👍🏼
Thank you so much! You have a great day as well.
I love tegus because of Gus-Gus :)
Not only do I love your Channel, but I've never seen a more wholesome community of reptile Keepers where I can actually engage with other enthusiasts and them actually be respectful towards my beliefs.
Our A. childreni was relinquished to us in poor condition and was very docile. Now that he’s healthy and thriving he’s a little monster, tries to eat everything including us! We’re target training him to calm his feeding response. I highly recommend this book: The Complete Children’s Python by Julander, Mutton, and Birch. Excellent resource.
The idea of a python with reasonable enclosure requirements and that won't outgrow mice (cheaper than rats) with a good feeding response sounds really good. This should be a much more widely bred snake. I like smaller snakes because I want them to live in a bioactive enclosure with ample space, that's more reasonable to achieve with a smaller snake.
I’m Australian and looking for a good snake to keep as a pet. I found a really cool Marble Children’s Pythons and fell I love. Now I’m looking for as much information on these ADORABLE snakes. 🥰🥰🥰🐍🐍🐍
I actually got one largely because of this video. He's my first pet snake and I couldn't be happier. It's a hatchling and eats well. Amazing animal! Thanks for the recommendation
Are they savu pythons?
@@JK-vy8vh no, I believe savi pythons are possible to get in captivity but rare. I think they're endemic to an island named Savu. Children's pythons are endemic to Australia and part of the antaresia genus. They only get 3 ft. I think savu pythons get bigger. Sterrins wild world has a video with savu pythons I think.
@@sauronthegreat489 I’m gettin one sent to me next month
@@sauronthegreat489 they are easy to find in Canada I guess I might have got lucky.
“Not made out of children” 😂😂😂
Every reptile store in the uk have these! My local shop has an albino project and an axanthic project
Nice!
keelan James never seen one, always wanted one though.
I was going to say that lol. Even in my small town Ive seen a few in the local reptile shop but never there long lol.
Ohh, now I have to look up how the axanthic looks like!
(Love the axanthic morphs in pythons.)
i got a pair of children's pythons after seeing this video (and doing some research) i can say it was such a great idea, i love Wagyl and Dhakkan so much and i have you too thank, so thank you!
I've had one of these bad bois for 11 years, she's so sweet and easy to look after. I live in Brisbane (Australia) she was about $300 from a reptile shop.
I love how it feels to hold a strong and steady snake like a python or a boa, that will slowly inch across your hand
"It's not made from children".
Oh. Well that's disappointing.
I'm stuck in bed sick during a heatwave, and seeing this upload in my notifications really made my evening! I love these little guys. Informative and fun as always.
Don't know how I never heard of these before. Such a reasonable little guy.
I've had my girl for 6 months now. So glad I seem this video. I love her so much. She's such a chill, girl and eats so well for me. Just ordered her a universal rocks background for her upgrade to a 40gal. Going all out for her, and I'm so dang excited.
I love my Children’s python. I’ve had him for nearly ten years and he’s absolutely stinkin’ rad. He was a bit nippy when he was younger especially when I was taking him out of his tank but his teeth were so small it wasn’t an issue.
I love your videos 😍 I'm from the land down under, super nice seeing videos of snakes that are popular and readily available here. So many breeds u just can't get here.
I love it. Idk why I am drawn to tiny snakes in general. I like the practicality of not having a giant enclosure and I guess I can relate to being small since I'm 5 feet 'tall' myself. Definitely gonna keep an eye for these guys in the future.
Small snakes absolutely have many practical benefits. I love all snakes but would never want to own a giant snake, I might one day want something like a BCI or something of familiar size but definitely nothing bigger. But these guys are one of the coolest snakes I've ever seen and I can't believe I didn't know they existed until this video
Oooh yay! It's almost 6am here andI get to start my day with Clint and a stinkin' rad reptile noodle!
As an Aussie children's pythons are one of my options for first snake, I have to look after a beginner species first (I'm probably going Beardie) but after I've had them for 2 years I can upgrade my reptile keeper's licence and get some other species including the children's python. I met one in high school and it took a liking to me (insisting on moving to my arm so I showed it to the rest of the class) this python is why I fell in love with snakes, I loved the feel of him on my arm.
Man. It's sad y'all have to jump through so many hoops in Australia just to own a frickin' animal. "Reptile keepers license" just sounds absurd.
@@smartacus88 it’s probably just bc they’re exotic. I actually think a reptile license should me mandatory.
@@-Radium- Childrens python is native to Australia. We’re not allowed to keep exotics without a special license that’s for people like zoo keepers. It really is quite strict in Australia. The major concern is our bio security
@@MG-uz5mr I’m fully aware, I live in Australia and own a children’s python.
@@MG-uz5mrHonestly I can understand why there'd be licensing and restrictions on non native exotics, seeing as Australia's climate makes it very susceptible to invasive exotics really messing up the ecosystem, but why all the hassle to keep native species? It just doesn't seem right.
I just got a hatchling children’s python after watching this video and doing some research. I was looking for a small pet to hangout with me while I work at home and the little guy is perfect. So grateful for the information in this video.
How is he or she and ur experiences a year on mine comes tomo :)
@@iamrobertpeston6368 Mine is doing great. I've got the whole tank set up really nice and I've never had any issues. He's a great pet.
i’ve been looking far and wide for a new animal youtuber i’m so happy i found you today your videos are incredible
Yay an Australian reptile!! This makes me mega happy. Thank you Clint!
I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. Antaresia are the best beginners snake hands down. Especially if you live in a cold weather area because they don't need a lot of humidity to shed properly. Cool thing about them is they will hang over a cave opening and grab bats as they go in and out. Awesomely incredible.
Congrats on 100k subscribers man! Love you stuff and can’t wait to see more videos! You might say that these are the BEST pet reptile videos you could watch!
I'm SO happy you made this video Clint! I have a spotted python, which you know are from the same family (Antaresia). I LOVE my little guy. he is SO well-mannered and so social! he comes over to say hi every time you walk by his enclosure, and has an obsession with being on your face and in your hair. and I 100% agree, they remind me of a mini carpet python. they are wonderful pets!
Oh. My. Goodness. I think this is my dream snake. Now if I can just convince my husband and landlord!
Your channel is more informative and positive than any other channel on here at the moment.Thank you again for another awesome video.
Another great video showcasing an awesome snake! Loved it and really enjoyed learning more about the Children’s python. Have always thought these are both beautiful and adorable but didn’t know much about husbandry so thanks!
Thank you Dr. Clint...I have been herping for years...but I always learn something from you..
Excellent video, and seriously love all the detailed knowledge on the animal. I’ll be watching more of your videos!
I've been looking for a addition to my collection and I always come to your videos and watch the video relentlessly. While doing research. I've been thinking about what I wanted for a long time. I've gone from Dwarf Caimen to the leopard gecko. So thank you for providing these videos. I support what you do and how you start people with basic education.
These truly are an excellent pet, I have one and this is my absolute favorite snake I own. She is wonderful. Great for care, handling, feeding ....I love her! If you can get yourself one please do!
Hey I’m starting to rehandle my girl and she’s biting which is ok but I wanna be friends! Any tips to make her comfortable and ease into handling her ? Thank you if you see this!
This is amazing info! I actually did see one of these for sale online and was intrigued because I'd never heard of it. Now, thanks to you, I love them and I should totally get one in the future :)
I love snakes but also have a passion for rats too. Honestly, this little noodle would be my first go to for a snake since they stay so small. It’s adorable!
Now I need one! Beautiful snakes, I’ve heard of them but knew nothing about them. Thank you for this!!!
Thank you for this! I've been looking for a video like this for a while. I was given a children's python last year and have only found basic information online. Its cool to finally find a video.
These were my introduction to pythons, when I was just a kid. I still have a soft spot for the Antaresia snakes. I've considered setting up a breeding arrangement for them to give kids the same snake intro that I had, but my big passions have really moved to tortoises and varanids/teiids.
I saw a couple of these at the Vallejo Reptile and Oddities Expo this past weekend, I'm glad I know more about them now!
Great video Clint love the snake I've never even heard of this species before now I'm glad I know of it
This is bare minimum 5 million subscribers worthy content. Hella dope channel
Why, hello there, Clint! I discovered your channel relatively recently, and I've been going on a binge watch of all your videos; just wanted to say, I appreciate your passion and excitement about reptiles, and it's been very fun, and very educational, learning about some animals even I didn't know about as a fellow ectothermic creature fan, haha
FOR EXAMPLE: I've been considering a snake as a pet after my current beardie eventually passes away (hopefully not for at least a few more years, I've had him since he was about a month old, and that was 7 years ago), but I didn't know what I wanted to go with. I know the ball python is usually a pretty safe bet for a first time snake owner, but seeing this adorable little critter? I know what my next pet is gonna be.
Thanks Clint, keep bein' awesome!
Once again you are turning me on to a reptile I didn't know much about but now I definitely want to!! Who knows, maybe we will be adding one of these little guys to our reptile family!! Thanks Soo much!!!!!!
I love this channel. I don't have a TV so UA-cam is like my TV, out of all I'm subscribed to, ur definitely in my top 5 of who I get really excited to see a new video notification from. dav is my number 1 haha. X
Always enjoy your videos. I think it really helps to put each animals care into honest perspective to people who are looking into these amazing creatures. There are not many places where you can get complete honest info wether or not you can provide the correct and proper care for these animals to thrive not just survive. A lot of people selling animals make their husbandry and care sound super easy so people are more likely to purchase that animal which is so sad because then these beautiful animals suffer. You should make a video on all of the antaresia since they're care ia very similar. Like you said childrens pythons and the rest of the Antaresia are very underrated. Have a good day
I would've never heard of this snake if it wasn't for you just got mine from dynasty reptiles and i could not be any happier
Thank you for sharing.
Those eyes! Think I just fell in love. Have never really seen these close up, I think they need to go on the list of reptiles I'd eventually like to own. 🙂🐍
Aww! I'm glad to see this! I work with animals at a zoo, and I like to watch your videos to learn more about the reptiles. I got my first snakebite (technically, two bites) from a Children's python. (He thought I might be food.) But they're beautiful, and cool snakes! Definitely on my list for my own reptile pet someday.
I absolutely love that snake! It looks like a miniature version of Nagini from Harry Potter.
Or a miniature version of Kaa from The Jungle Book.
I found one in my local pet store for $89 five years back, cannot reccomend them enough. Very active snake with a ton of personality, and mine loves being handled (body heat?). Mine is much lighter green, with blacker eyes, beautiful boy!
Aww, I have a very closely related snake as my first snake, a Stimson's python. They really are like mini carpets! She's a great snake and I've never had any problems with her. I appreciate you spreading knowledge about these awesome snakes. Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about!
Most interesting snake youve mentioned yet!:) looking forward to more of your wonderful content
One of the most practical at least. It may not be an elephant trunk snake, but I love them!
Great video on an underrated, not commonly kept species!
Love these "big snakes in a small package."
Please do a feature on Antaresia perthensis and A. stimsoni stimsoni + orientalis.
Picked up our children's python a couple of months ago (In Queensland Australia) such a beautiful snake with gorgeous rainbow reflections. Incredible nature and is very docile and relaxed even with my 8 and 11 year old kids. Amazing pet snake.
Shoutout to you Clint as without this video I would have never gotten my childrens earlier this week!
Been waiting for you to tackle these guys! Always top notch stuff from you, excited for you to hit 100K! Any plans for a viper boa video down the line? Definitely another snake that needs some love in the hobby.
Clint if you love the children's python you will LOVE the Stimsons Python! Very similar python from Australia, I had one for almost 10 years and she never bit me once or grew much longer than 1m.
Yes! Been hoping you would do this! I am getting a Stimson’s next month!! Can’t wait!
Got mine because of this video. She’s almost a year old now. 👍 Thanks Clint!
I instantly fell in love with this snake. I think it may be my very first reptile when I will have the money to keep one.
I thought children's pythons were big like carpet pythons, so I always kinda ignored them since I have a small place. But now I'm considering them. Thanks for this video!
I kept thinking that python was saying "CLINT LOOK AT MEEEEE! PAY ME ATTENTION!!" Such a nice looking snake that seem really good natured.
Almost 100000! Love you Clint!
Awesome! Clint, will you ever do a video of some of your daily care routines? I'd love to see what goes into daily care of these lovely creatures!
You underscored Children’s pythons. They are awesome: smart, curious and interactive. 5 of 5 score in my book!
This may be my fave snake of all the vids Ive watched so far, so adorable 😍
Your the best man!!! Thanks for all the cool videos!
There are a few of the high contrast children’s pythons available in America. Someone I know has a regular and a high contrast children’s. Very cool creatures. There will be variants coming out as a few years pass as they gain attraction. Awesome video as always, Clint!
i finally got one from a breeder, these are awesome snakes and easy to take care of! love how they eat and constrict..
Thank you for introducing me to these little pythons! They truly are big snakes in a little package ❤️
Been waiting to long for this video!
Their colours arent dramatic but hold it out in the sun and it shimmers like a rainbow
Yes! I've been waiting for this video for a long time. Finally a reptile for my aussie cousins and they're just so cute too.
Oh my goodness, this is one of my dream snakes. I can feel much better about giving a nice enclosure to small animals.
You are so educational! I love children's pythons and I like all your videos, good video!
THIS is the perfect pet snake for me! Thank you! I had no idea these exist. I had a python in the past, and it was NOT a good match. It came to me from someone else who got it from someone else. It was rather large and had a bad temper. I love pythons, and have always wanted to try again. Now I know what to look into. Thanks!
Love those little guys, I have a pair of similar pythons called Stimson pythons, they get a little bigger and look and behave very much the same, hope to have a clutch of eggs in about three weeks, fingers crossed. great video thanks Clint.
So I went to expo looking for one of these guys I have a corn and 2 ball pythons and I really think it would be so amazing if u did a video on the house snake there one of the coolest snakes iv seen !
I love my CP. They are the Chihuahua of the python world: small, sweet and feisty. They do think they are big snakes and can be nippy as babies, and even as an adult. They do like to climb so some branches for climbing is a must.
