- The Amazon rainforest contains some of the most incredible and dangerous animals on the planet. I've spent the last two weeks deep in the Peruvian Amazon searching for every species of snake I can find. We come face to face with coral snakes, bushmasters, and the most dangerous snake in the Americas!

Careful with snakes, or they may make an asp out of you.
Clint what reptile should I get for my channel not expensive and not a snake nothing against snakes, you can blame my mom, lol jk.
@@earlsreptiles1276 I'm not Clint but I love tegus so much that I can't help myself from recommending an Argentine Tegu. Madly in love with them. Have never met one I didn't like. My boss had a psycho Black and gold tegu but after house sitting for a couple weeks my boss chastised me for ruining his tegu because he returned to find his beast rather tame and sweet. Oops! He ended up gifting him to me and we had many years together. Pretty good for a wild caught. I definitely recommend captive bred now.
I love tegus to and want one so bad, unfortunately I live in NC and are illegal with out a license, that's pretty cool he gifted you a black and gold Tegu there quite expensive
@@k.l.manring2083 have any more reptiles tho
I'd be unhappy too if a small tree scooped me up in its hat and then laughed at me
Yup, it's totally understandable.
He's a cute little grumper. ❤
The laughter this comment induced. 😂 Thank you, kind stranger. 🤣
I was about to ask why my husband was in a hat xD jk, but I already love that grumpy snake. They just have character.
Every time he looked away the snake tried to bite his face
Clint giggling excitedly about getting snapped at by a grumpy snake is quite possibly the most Clint thing ever. And I mean that in the best way 😂
Let's see AI Clint do that 😅
We finally get to see Clint at his full power: actually snake whispering. To a grumpy snake in his hat.💕
Makes me heart so happy ❤❤
And the snake is now like this is my hat now
Is that tree boa about to shed? It's eyes look opaque-ish, as if a shed is right around the corner. It would explain why it's biting inanimate objects like his hat.
He was terrified of it lol
“Yourself.. you’re biting yourself” 😂😂😂 Clint’s Videos make me so much happier than before I watched! We really appreciate you Clint! Keep up the good work!
"No rhyme will save you here."
Words to strike fear into the heart of any herpetological poet.
the one phrase to remember •
Yeah "don't pick up tricolor snakes unless you know what you're doing" is really what people should be learning.
@@sampagano205 change that to “don’t pick up any colorful snake unless you 100% know what it is” because some corals is not have 2 colors. Honestly though, nobody should be picking up any snake that’s unfamiliar to them without being absolutely sure of the species.
Even better? Stop messing with snakes in the wild.
I was at a reptile zoo the other day, and they handed me a tricolor king snake. They asked me "Do you know what snake this is?" and I said "It's a snake that is pretending to be a coral snake!" They tried to tell me the safety rhyme, and I said "Never rely on that. There are way too many morphs and exceptions to that rule. When in doubt, DON'T!" I couldn't believe I had to tell the snake keepers how to stay safe.
Clint reminds me so much of Steve Irwin. You can see and feel his love and admiration for every creature he interacts with. It's like he is a child seeing things for the first time.
*”Hehehe, this is the best day ever! I’m getting rained on and a grumpy tree boa keeps lunging at my face!”*
Clint is too pure for this world.
Protect him at all costs.🤣❤️
I want to see Clint visit Africa and geek out about finding a Gaboon Viper in the wild.
Me too!
Me three! That’s my favorite animals.
Or wrestle a nile crocodile lol
@@sasquatchdonut2674 Clint does his best Steve Irwin impression and jumps on a Nile Croc and holds its jaws closed with his hands and yells "You're alright mate! You're alright!"
He might want to warm up and wrestle a large nile monitor lizard first 😂
Clint's arms look like he's been a major food source for the local wildlife.
😫
@@ClintsReptiles Look into Avon skin so soft bath oil, original scent. Bugs hate the smell. We get bottles and take a tablespoon or 2 on a trip. Rub on like lotion. Chiggers and mosquitos don't bother you.
one thing thats alway suprising to non reptile people is that reptiles are so variable. even crazier with snakes.
Even crazier that there are heaps of uncatalogued species of reptiles, so even more wonderful variation!
I know there was a massive report that came out last year from Deloitte saying only 30% of Australia’s estimated 750,000 species (plants, animals, fungi & other organisms) have been named and documented so far.
Yeah I talked to one guy who said there were only two types of turtles snapping and green
Bad thing with snakes is some can kill you... you don't have any grey area with a Salty.
That Amazon tree boa was my favorite. Such a sassy little dude, he was not having any of this. So angry he bit himself AND the hat. I bet he'd try to bite (or maybe just tag) anything that came near him, what a cutie.
Lmao that’s yourself had me rollin
I have to thank the Patreon supporters for making these "in the field" type videos possible, cos I love these! Clint is the guy to send out to find and show us specimens. You have such a gentle, cheerful demeanour, you're respectful of animals (not as "things" nor as 💰), and you genuinely _care._ That ring looks great, btw!
I love the fact that you're showing and describing snake after snake and not wasting time simply talking, much appreciated great work.
I love how the venomous snakes are shown in this video, demonstrating that as long as you treat the snake with respect and act sensibly there really is nothing to fear from these guys in 99.999% of cases. All the venomous snakes are either just hanging out basking or waiting to ambush something, just hanging out on a snake hook, or at most doing their harmless threat displays to try and avoid confrontation. Perfect way to show that these snakes don't want to harm anyone, they just want to go about their business and not get killed by a giant ape
Still, that 0,001% of venomous snakes are able to kill around 100 000 persons every year...
Not a water moccasin, very aggressive snek, also called a cotton mouth. Has been known to chase golf carts across golf greens🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dixiecyrus8136 I live in Florida. When I was in the Air Force, they would hide in our bomb dump storage igloos or buildings. We'd move a palette or pick up boxes and suddenly smell them, you quickly move to get out of the way.
@@dixiecyrus8136 I’ve heard this is actually because most of the time it just sees the same exit route as you do when trying to run away (snakes aren’t that bright lol).
@@peggedyourdad9560 maybe, but I've seen golfers have to use a putter to defend themselves when one chased his but down the green🤣🤣🤣
What a delightful sampling of serpents!
I gotta go to sleep before I can finish the video, but it really makes me happy to hear how kindly he speaks about these snakes. Even ones that other people would call "silly", he talks about in a glowing way, and is really affectionate towards them.
Clint: You have the most informative channel on UA-cam. You provide technically challenging information in a manner that all can understand. Just amazingly well done! I have great admiration for you and your associates. You don't overhandle snakes, which often causes them to become stressed. Your knowledge is amazing, and you are a true professional. Many thanks, sir.
Thank you so much! Feedback like that is so encouraging.
every time i see a big bushmaster in a video im just blown away. one of my favorite species of reptile on the planet. what magnificent snakes.
This is the first time that I have seen that they have actually thorny spikes for keeled scales! That's crazy! I have seen a few lizards with spikey backs, but you almost expect that but these actually looked like goat head thorns, not all but some and that's plenty!
Nucleo Serra Grande is the biggest keeper of bushmasters and Gabriel keeps a youtube channel that shows their routines of feeding, breeding and taking care of the animals. Check them out to see the conservation work they have been doing.
The bushmaster's genus is named Lachesis, who was one of the three Fates of myth, specifically the one who determined the length of the thread of life. Don't mess with things that can snip your life's thread.
I love seeing Clint out in the wild like this just finding neat snakes and presenting them, the energy is incredibly wholesome
That bushmaster had absolutely gorgeous scales! What a marvelous snake.
That Red Vine Snake is breathtaking! Also the Stripe Vine Snake tongue lining up with the shutters speed is hilarious. Lastly, Coral Snake movement and head shape combined is always the giveaway to me. Twitchy lol.
The way this guy talks about animals is so infectious and makes me so happy.
Holy moley, Clint! You look like you got eaten alive by bugs. 😬 Very cool snakes!
I did... 😫
@@ClintsReptiles maybe there should be a video about all the varmints that feasted on you 🤔 😉. Hope you had calamine and benadryl handy.
Thank you so much for opening our eyes to the wonderful world of reptiles. Your videos are both interesting and inspiring. They make us want to own our own reptiles and care for them to keep the Hobbie alive. You’re a great person. You share your passion with the world and I appreciate you for that.

☑️ ^The incredible diversity of snake species in Costa Rica is actually very reminiscent of the vast assortment of snake species we have here in northern Delaware! I live in the wilds of Wilmington Delaware, where we see such varied snake species as; garter snakes, garter snakes, garters, more garter snakes, and also garter snakes. Sometimes an occasional garter snake shows up. Earlier this summer, I even spotted a rare garter snake! Yep, Wilmington Delaware is truly a gift from the Gods..
Oohhhh I'm hoping Clint does "are snail eating snakes the best pet reptile video" even if they're not the best I would love a video on them. So cool! Thank you for showing us all these neat snakes from your ventures!
That mantis next to the snake at 24:02 :o
Amazing shot!
“That is yourself 😠 that’s yourself.”
Big dad vibes here lol
I want Clint to visit Australia, perhaps the Great Southern region of Western Australia. I'm partial because I live here and get to see King Skinks, Shingleback Skinks and Blue-tongue skinks all the time within my backyard or walking distance from my home. Also Carpet Pythons, Tiger Snakes and Dugites in remnant old growth urban forest across from my house in Yakamia...
Australia is a treasure trove, so many amazing reptiles and amphibians and not just in our desert areas.
You won't get an arguement from him. He wants a real visit to Australia too!
I'd love it too. And getting to hear from him about the few snakes your allowed to own down here would be a great bonus (we really need an exotic reptiles licence or just to stop acting like reptiles are any worse for the place than cats, dogs, rats, and rabbits...).
I love the bushmaster…but just to look at. It is such a special snake, one of my favs for sure. Great video as usual, thank you.
Not gonna lie... As someone who used to be a LOT more terrified of snakes (its a work in progress), seeing you laugh off the "strikes" comforts me a little bit XD.
The rainbow boa's face looks like a borzoi. 22:15 pause, play, pause, play
Your pure glee over getting to meet that snake is so wholesome
I absolutely adore the coloration and apparent attitude of the Ornate Snail Eater Snake. But, there doesn't appear to be much information about them available online. Would you consider doing a video on them? Maybe demonstrate how they eat, because that seems so incredibly rad.
Also, those keeled scales on that bush master are stunning. They look like a creature from fiction. Incredible.
I have seen snail eaters eat a couple times but I can't remember the source. I do know it was on UA-cam so depending on how you word it you might have luck.
I've always noticed that coral snakes from both North America and South America kinda move in an odd way when compared to a lot of other snakes. Its seems to be very jerky movements when trying to escape, but also a bit derpy even when they are moving slowly. It could just be me reading to much into it tho lol.
They definitely have a different way of moving. Almost like a side winder.
it looks really twitchy
They definitely seem twitch and bop around quite a bit whenever I see footage of them.. interesting.
Coral snakes also seem to always curl the end of their tails, making it into a loop, when threatened. It may be to make their tail look like a head to confuse predators?
They're bad about being drunks
The absolute joy you had when holding a snake is just so wonderful.
The scales on that bushmaster are insanely cool! They look like little (not really) dragons. :}
Thank you for taking us with you!
The Green-Striped Vine Snake is incredibly beautiful, definitely my favourite. It's so strange how its tongue isn't forked, I thought all snakes had forked tongues. And the green stripes are just incredible, so pretty, and hilariously amazing how thorough they are! Just amazing in every way!
I've always loved vine snakes. They're almost mythical. Venomous but back fanged and harmless plus that leaf head and tongue are amazing.
I didn’t expect that you also found the main dangerous snakes of the region such as the Bothrops and the bushmaster. The bushmaster was quite calm. Coincidentally I handled an Amazon tree boa recently. He lightly struck three times and then he calmed down.
"Shoelace (Affectionate)" is now part of my snake vocab. Love the green striped lil guy so much.
So many stunningly beautiful snakes! The specialization in prey is fascinating as well as the relationship,to their colors and patterns and where they hunt.
Clint gushing over the Bushmaster giving him a death stare.
I really love your snake videos. 💖 🐍 You have such a fun personality, and it's great learning about snakes that aren't the common 10 or so that everyone already knows about.
boots doesn't really protects against the bushmaster, they usually bite very high, making a "double S" almost like a spring. Amazing species
....AND have pretty long fangs!
I'm so shocked at how friendly the snakes are there!!!! Wild snakes that just lie there and let you hold them. That's crazy
You notice he didn't try to handle the bushmaster.
The coral snakes warning display is adorable 😂. I mean I know they are deadly but that little display was just hilariously cute. 😂
I love the little hat viper lol. I did have one hypothesis for 9:00 many of the snakes having iridescence. I believe it may be beneficial for many of them to look wet, due to well, rainforest. No idea how you'd prove that beyond correlation, but I'd be eager to see
I was thinking the same thing! I feel like a shinier, iridescent sheen mimics the wet look, while a more matte appearance would probably be harder to hide.
I was thinking something similar. While the snake was slithering I noticed the iridescent sheen made it a little harder to define the edges of the body or its exact shape, like the colors were playing with my eyes. Combined with a wet environment that also shines in the light, it could throw a predator off enough for the snake to get away.
I was hoping you'd find a Bushmaster. By far my favorite hot herp. Although I think the gem of this video was the two-eyed-no-horn-crawling-big-head snail eater. What a sight to see!
Do people still remember that song/movie? Lololol
@@cerberaodollam I do!
Ya ima need a “best pet snake?” Video for that snail eating snake
Thanks so much Clint for sharing this with us!!! I love learning and right now my brain feels pretty full and satisfied. Thanks buddy! And yes I'm a Patreon
That bushmaster is stunning! The scales are INCREDIBLE... I bet they felt so cool when you measured him/her.
Coral snakes really are gorgeous animals. The way they move with their coloration is captivating. Makes me feel glad that we have so many harmless mimics in captivity.
South American coral snakes, especially the water variety, are notoriously difficult to keep alive in captivity.
Those in the USA do not survive in captivity either, The only person that I am aware that has done so successfully has to forcefeed them a special mixture of food through a tube, every time he milks them and then has to leave them alone. They have very specialized diets, they stress, what have you...they do not survive in captivity!
Seeing the Fer-de-lance followed by the Bushmaster brought me RIGHT back to playing The Amazon Trail back in the 90s. Beautiful animals.
There are so many delightful moments in this vid, and you can tell Clint is just vibing
The big headed snake looks like a cartoon! it's so cute!
Some of these creatures are just absolutely incredible! I couldn’t believe how adorable that big headed snail eating snake was
It's one of my favorite snakes in the whole world!
I like the way Clint gushes over the Big Headed Snail Eating Snake! 💕
🎶It's alright, it's alright, it's aaaaalright. He moves in very grumpy ways~🎶
😭 You are an absolute treasure.
That Green Stripe Vinesnake is the cutest thing I've ever seen! That tongue makes me want to cry how adorable it is 💜
That big headed snail eating snake is facinating
Man the beautiful fine structure of the big headed snail eater is absolutely fantastic, It's such a gorgeous snake
This was such a fantastic video!!
Gosh that bushmaster is _gorgeous!_ It's so majestic and that face just looks every bit like a confident dragon's, and that's well-deserved too.
What a wonderful array of gorgeous snakes! The vine snakes were amazing. The aquatic coral snake looked a bit clumsy in its movements, as if was trying to swim across dry land and the land wasn’t quite cooperating.
I'm already in love with the snail eating snakes! They're so adorable and beautiful. 😍🥰 I love learning about new (to me) snakes!
Great video. So many adorable snakes, and a couple of impressively badass snakes, with the Fer de Lance and the Bushmaster. Wow. Loved this.
That is why biology is fun, always more to discover. Hopefully some day you'll branch out beyond just zoology and herpetology. I ended up branching out early, waiting for my last zoology class to open, ended up with enough for botany, zoology, ecology, parasitology, evolutionary biology, epidemiology, cognition and some genetics, later I picked up immunology. Make my living as an engineer but keep picking up more ologies, lol. If I hadn't had to wait I would not have the broad base I now enjoy. Never too late to start though 😁 not that there is anything wrong with specialist, we need both and to work together, but you strike me as someone who would enjoy generalist studies
He doesn't need to branch out. He keeps us entertained and informed as it is, and there will always be more to learn in zoology. It's not like we've reached the end where there's nothing left to do in the field, far from it. And to get to where he is as a PhD, he already has a broad base of knowledge.
Since he has a pretty good sized family, is a professor, does this channel including traveling and runs his own reptile experience business, I think he is probably at maximum capacity. Those little ones and his wife definitely want to have a life with him.
Hi Clint! I hope you have a fantastic Saturday! Thanks for inspiring me to keep reptiles :)
"no rhyme will save you."
amazing quote.
Man, the banded calico, ornate snail eating snake, Amazon scarlet, red vine snake are stunning! The colors and patterns are super cool
Hey clint, your channel has become one of my favorites! You always have great content. Keep them coming!
It’s cool to see how different North American snakes are to Amazon snakes.
Really enjoying going on adventures with Clint , many more to come I hope 🙏👍
The red vine snake is GORGEOUS. I absolutely love that color pattern
Clint was pulling a rabbit from his hat and discovered a well fed tree boa had taken it's place! The most exciting two weeks of my life so far were the ones I spent in Manu on the Madre de Dios. I was nerding out on plants and insects on that trip but did encounter a few herps. I still have a picture of a enormous toad calmly sitting right next to where my foot landed on the trail. I caught piranha, made chocolate from cocoa fruit, got painfully envenomated by a bullet ant, lost (and found) my passport in the river, and many other tales. If you love plants, insets. birds, reptiles, even fungus there is no more diverse ecosystem on the planet than eastern Peru. The long green striped noodle with the green tongue is my favorite of Clint's new friends.
I'm impressed that the first snake waited until you looked away to strike! Very perceptive!
I love seeing all the different coral snakes and their mimics! Also that bush master was truly amazing
"Wham-o! Fer-de-lance!" t-shirts?
Regarding BRBs being arboreal - I have mine in a tall, branched viv in my bedroom. At night, he is ALWAYS up in the "trees". He will hunt on the ground as well, but that is only after he has been in the trees for a few hours and not found anything.
I’m so glad they have you in. This is coming from a person who is scared of snakes, but still appreciates them and knows what cool animals they are.
Awesome video thanks for that keep the videos coming very educational especially coral snakes and their mimics really enjoyed that thanks again
Wow! Wonder why you don’t see these snake in captivity. Beautiful!!!
Edit: ok ok I’ve always thought the world of Clint but, is that dude wearing gloves because he is worried about the way a snake feels when touching a human?!! That is soooo good! Clint you are a champion!!!
He is super thoughtful, huh? Gotta love him!
@@amandastakeonit7402 he is one of the very very few “celebrities” I actually would like to meet in real life. Him and Kevin from Nerd. We’ll find our way to Clint’s reptile room some day.
The most incredible bonus was hearing Clint sing U2 to a very grumpy snake in a hat.
This was fascinating... for some reason, I thought "hotter climate, bigger snake" and just assumed the snakes there would all be massive (like the bushmaster or the green anaconda).
Seeing all those delicate little danger noodles really brings home how many different niches snakes fill, when there's such a variety of prey available.
That Ornate Snail Eating Snake is the most beautiful I`ve even seen! Amazing.
You’re so informative, I love it. Thanks for all the interesting facts you have for us
That big headed snail eating snake is incredible, so beautiful. On video it's markings almost look chrome.
It's such a pleasure to watch you do something you're so passionate about ♥️ and the beautiful snakes, ofc
Yoooo love your content! I have a nile monitor and your video on them is entirely accurate! His name is omnom because he loves to chew on me
Thank you Clint, never knew that the Peruvian Rainbow Boa would spend time on the ground as well as the trees. Nice to meet a baby Calico Snake. A cute White Nape Earth Snake. The Snail Eating Snakes are interesting with their unusual spinal skales. I keep Snails as well as snakes, so I will admire that snake from afar. So glad you found the Red Vine Snakes, Green Striped Vine Snake, Langsdorff,s Coral Snake does not look like a Coral Snake.
I have watched a fair few of your videos and your obvious love for the animals you encounter is so heartwarming I just had to subscribe. Beautiful snakes, I love all of them too!
Recognized that fer-de-lance in an instant, so stunning. I've always been fascinated with them.
The markings of the snail eating snakes are so gorgeous!!!
You bring genuine enjoyment through your joy of sharing animals with others. Thanks so much for that. Have an awesome day.
That green-striped vinesnake is taking striped to the next level and I love it!
"WOW! This new species has a big head and eats snails, what shall we call it?"
"Ok, just hear me out...."
No wonder why this video was one of the most watched videos of 2022. The title is kinda lame but the content itself is golden! 🎉❤
I love these "out in the field" videos
I am TOTALLY happy to live vicariously! I don't like the humidity and heat, nor do I want eaten alive by insects! I appreciate you being out there in our stead, although, I am sorry you went through it as well.
