My favorite is the Western Hognose. My George, even though he only has one braincell, has provided me with a lot of entertainment over the past few years.
I just want to let you know that watching your videos gave me the confidence to buy a hognose! I've had him for a little over two years now, and he's very happy thanks to your guides :)
@wishfool it depends on what you wanna do, if you want to learn how to get into dangerous venomous, i would say false water cobra or even a non venomous indigo snake. a big black racer could do the trick too
FWCs & mangroves both hang on, if they flash & get you, but if you have a spray bottle of listerine handy, you can blast them in the eyes & they let go... then just spray them with water... 👍
Video idea: "top 5/10 reptiles that need more captive breeding if you're looking for a breeding project" with species that are mostly wc but are perfect otherwise
I know someone that once got bit on the ass because he farted, intentionally, towards a mangrove snake. It gave him a gnarly hematoma and still has a bullseye style mark on the left cheek.
My male false water cobra is the most interesting snake to watch In my collection. He’s super active during the day unless he’s in shed. He’s only about 4.5 feet rn so he’s got some growing to do but he eats like a machine. They need to eat a bit more often than other species. He eats chicks, rodents and even fish fillets. He’s got a ton of personality and watches u when u r in the reptile room. He is cage defensive but once u get him out he’s good. The scariest part about them is they don’t strike they just open their mouth and chomp and they’re super strong. He also of course loves to sit in his water tub.
@@keira4473 thank u I try my best to give him a good life. My carpet pythons get to free roam sometimes with supervision of course so they can get some exercise in.
My cousin was bitten by a garter snake (eastern garter snake in ontario), and he had a serious allergic reaction that put him in the ER. I also had a friend in high school who had a mild reaction to red sided garter snake Manitoba. we were out herping, and he got a really good bite his arm puffed up. It's pretty interesting how venom works in all these different people and snakes. My gf wants hognoses snakes, im going to eventually get into false water cobras i love their intelligence and their look. I don't have the discipline required to work with something like a king cobra fwc are the best analog to keep.
I got bit by a checkered garter snake on purpose because I wanted to experience first hand what they were capable of, and there was some irritation for a few days. No visits to the emergency room though, and I knew I would be safe with getting bit by this snake.
Interesting about the garter snakes. I've been bitten a lot by them when, as you said, collecting them as a kid. It did have a bit of redness and swelling, sort of like a cat scratch. Nice video 👍
They aren't actually venomous. One species eats a poisonous newt that gives it venomous saliva. In captivity they don't eat the newt so they aren't venomous
My Garter snakes are in my cucumbers. I was digging through the leaves looking for some cucumbers hidden by the leaves and I found a baby chilling on a big leaf about 3 ft up on the vine. I picked it up and considered keeping it but I decided he would have a better life eating the bugs that might eat my cucumbers. We shook hands and agreed before parting ways. ❤
I love the green vine snakes. They just look so judgey and droll. Lol. I do love hoggies too. They’re adorable. And boiagas are just amazing looking. And I think that FWC have a reputation for being smart. And being capable of recognizing people. I remember a video of an old fisherman fishing at his pond, and feeding the FWC that lived there. He’d just come right up to the old man and get a fish. It was pretty amazing to see.
I'm a central Floridian who grew up on a large cattle ranch. I roamed about from a very young age so my father made sure I know which snakes were "no touch" and which were ok. My favorites were always the hognose. They tended to be gentle, even to a small child, and it never failed to amuse when thru played dead.
I got a boiga melanota , not sure I spelled it right but the mangrove snake. I've seen so many videos telling people how dangerous they are. I've been bit so many times. Never reacted at all.
My favorite rear-fanged venomous snake is either the false water or the mangrove snake. False water cobras being the one I’d pick if given the choice unless I could find a super chill mangrove snake.
Before video, betting on seeing Garter Snakes, Hog Nose, and False Water Cobra, as all three are rear fanged and not medically significant. Can't wait to see the other two I might not have ever heard of. Edit after video: Can't believe I forgot Mangrove Snakes. Didn't know vine snakes were rear fang. My favorited is the false water cobra, but they are banned in BC.
I find false water cobras to be quite striking to look at. Even dull coloration can be beautiful. I personally find copperheads to be incredibly beautiful the way their brown, tan and orangeish coloration blends. Although my favorite venomous species are variable bush vipers. And my favorite ball python I own by coloration is my blue eyed leucistic, she's beautiful, but so is my wild type boy Ouroboros, he's a very polite and docile Ball python.
As a kid, I played a lot with garter snakes here in Iowa, and I Got bit a lot and didn't even realize that they were rear fang venomous until I started watching these types of UA-cam channels. Someday I would like to have a couple of hognose snakes and possibly a false water cobra.
Honorable mention is the Paradise Flying Snake. Its venom only affects its pray, which includes tokays, Draco, and other geckos. I'm not sure about the Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis sp.) sometimes known as the Philippine version of Garter Snake (some falsely declare them as Garters in the illegal pet trade here lol). You can also find here the specifix species of Mangrove Snake you mentioned, Boiga dendrophila, along with other Boiga species. Lots of beautiful snakes here in the Philippines. You should visit us EDIT: Bring Clint with you. We have lots of Emerald Tree Skinks here 😂
Those mangrove snakes are SO gorgeous. If you love the look but are wary about them being venomous, you can find an EXCELLENT non-venomous lookalike in _Elaphe schrenckii,_ the endlessly loveable black and yellow Russian Ratsnake
I moved to Florida in 82 and inside of 2 years I postulated that they were rear fanged. No one got on board with that. The ones who bit me upon capture advanced their mouths over my hand to engage their fear teeth. This resulted in a red wound with irritation. The largest specimens that I captured were upwards of 4 feet. Very cranky and left me with weeping wounds that were burning and itchy. These were green and black, some checkerboard. Of course I have never killed one.
Love the false water cobra look! I opted for an Egyptian False Cobra instead as I wanted a desert setup, and she is... spicy 😂 She has hook trained well, though. A really awesome species I have found is the Red (Rufous) Beaked snake. Rear-fang venom, fast and a little flighty, but also super curious and not defensive at all. Very visually oriented. Just a friendly little dude! Will happily sit with me and watch the screen, especially if its games lol Very food motivated though, so that's probably how you'd be bit. The venom for both supposedly isn't any worse than a FWC or Mangrove. You won't need medical attention, but you won't miss it either. I handle them somewhat like I would other venomous, so I haven't had the personal experience yet 😅
There's an island off Vancouver island that has a unique group of garter snakes. Theve even got a unique colouring to them compared to other species (which is wjat initially attracted biologists because they thought itmight be a new species. Don't know if the did classify at its own subtype of garter or not but i dont think so). They've specialized to eat things in tidepools there exclusively including small crabs, fish, etc. And are much more aquatic then the average garter snake. They've even specialized to use things like the little anemone to hide from prey andprotect from predators. There are also thousands there. You can grab a bucket and fill it within a few minutes there's that many. They've also notably have next to no fear of people and so long as you don't reach for them will just continue on their day like you weren't there, no scampering into the bushes the moment they know you're there like most snakes but no defensive behavior either. They're also very slightly more 'venomous' then other garters although not nearly enough to harm humans. There was a big article in the paper here a few years back about some biologists who went there and their findings. I've been there once but I can't remember the name of the island and I have been trying to find it so I can go back. But yeah, they're a truely unique colony.
This sounds epic, but also having just watched a video on the last photos of animals before they went extinct, I am apprehensive as that sounds exactly like those conditions. V small locale, not afraid of ppl, "numerous" so ppl assume they're more fine than they are... Andddd so many of those species died out bc they were over hunted for the pet trade.
You left out the Gaboon Viper. Hear me out here. They’re probably the most docile venomous snake in the world. There was an instance (Georgia I believe) where someone had a Gaboon that escaped its enclosure. Several days later, he found his toddler playing with it. And apparently this was happening for over 30 minutes and he didn’t even realize the toy his kid had was essentially a loaded gun!. But a grumpy Gaboon could kill you within a few hours. And that toddler - even quicker. So yeah, probably good you left this one out. 😂🤣
Gaboon vipers are relaxed right up until the exact point that they aren't anymore. kind of like petting a cat in that way. their temperament can make them seem far less dangerous than they factually are. nothing may happen the majority of the time but you only have to screw up once. when they spend 90% of their time sitting perfectly still and a further 9% taking the scenic route through life they make it easy to forget that the remaining 1% is unreasonably fast
The Boomslang delivery system is also in the rear. As a 9 year old on grandfather farm here in Africa a Boomslang came down a tree, me standing under it and slid down my shoulder and over to another tree. I was so surprised and so wished someone had a camera. I am 56 so no cellphones or modern tech.
Little guy just needed to take a shortcut. Glad to hear you got out of that okay at least, most Boomslangs i've seen in collections on UA-cam tend to be pretty ill-tempered and fast. Absolutely stunning little guys, with those goofy big eyes and their threat displays where they puff up. Thank goodness from what I hear they're like the rattlesnakes here in the US; they'd really rather not deal with you, so just give them space and go on your way.
I was doing research on the black spine necked swamp turtle and on the iucn red list i saw a lizard called the antstingy chameleon and you should check it out
Ringnecks are venomous, but they're so small that 90% of the time they cant even pierce the skin. When your prey is worns half your size, you'll need something to paralyze them!
The problem I experienced with garter snakes is that they're escape artists. I bought one for $60, and he escaped from his enclosure several times and finally escaped for good.
An ex of mine found out the hard way she was allergic to hog nose venom. It caused some severe swelling and fluid build up like a giant blister, but overall nothing life threatening.
Ive got a western who is an absolute weirdo, he loves to climb, Ive seen him wrapped around the thermometer up the glass and added some drift wood to climb and I find him basking or at least chilling up there a lot! Also I agree they're the best starter, maybe tied with garters, I think garters are a lot more rewarding personally.
Very nice video once again and super interesting list😄 I used to play with the idea of having a falsie for a long time - I absolutely love those guys - but in the end got turned away by the amount they poop🤣
I’m currently on my third snake. I started with a common garter & then had a desert king. Now currently onto a Sunfyre yellow belly Ball python👏 I personally found garters to be the most intimidating out of the three to work with🤷🏻♂️ which makes sense with the fact they are rear fanged
I love my hognose! Gorgeous little noodle but wow, he is the most cranky little boi and has on more than one occasion tried to chew my hand and fingers. But the pain is so insignificant that I'll just sit there unamused asking him, "dude, you done now?" He is such a character.
My dream snake is a Conda Hognose. I don't care what color they are, I just want a Conda. And not a Super Conda, just straight Conda. I love the bigger, more spread out spotting. Since I'm my mother's caregiver and live with her, I have to still kinda get her warmed up to the idea of my getting a snake. Dav and Garrett kinda got her a little more comfortable with being around them at Tinley last October. To the point, she said she wants to go to Tinley every year. Maybe this October, they will push her a little bit further. Maybe by next year, I can get her to be ok with having a snake.
I got bit by a garter snake a few weeks back and it wouldn’t let go. I had to gently get it off my finger over the course of 5 minutes. My hand ballooned up lol. Had no idea about the fang.
Another interesting video thank you. Hahah I was wondering what the proper name for the skeptical noodle fella was. Hoggies are so cute and adorable if I ever have the space and time for another snake it’ll def be a hoggie.
Here is a fun topic. If it were possible to breed any 4 species of snake what would you choose. I am not a snake in my hands kind of person but often thought King cobra (For docility) Emerald Tree Boa (for colour and to remove the venomous factor) Eastern Diamond back (got to have that rattle) and Gabino viper (Horns and amazing pattern).
I remember seeing a youtuber letting his friend handle his hognose but made the mistake of not washing his hand after touching mice (if im remembering right) and the hognose bit him and his hand ended swelling up
I lived in singapore around Thailand and indo, and I've seen many rear fanged bronze backs, flying snakes, whip snake water snake not kraits, or sea snakes and etc
Hognose and the mangroves. It’s tight margin for me on which is my favorite. The Hognose is probably in the lead just because they are more manageable to handle.
Definitely the biggest twist in channel history when I saw the title. So I have to get a refund on that Inland Taipan I bought? Bummer. 😅 Jokes aside your video’s definitely made my desire to have reptiles as pets increase, and I now do. My pets thank you!
@WickensWickedReptiles - the list and the video was great as always, but not really shocked as you could maybe tell haha. At this point could you maybe start putting that as an honourable mention and put in some lesser known and more interesting things on the list? The other four entires were great, but it feels like a bit of a copout a lot of the time with Hognoses being on so many lists. Don't get me wrong it's a more than valid entry for these lists but it gets a little old hearing it all the time you know?
found a small hognose snake in my yard on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.. my buddy knew it would play dead and it absolutely did..it was very small very cool snake
Some folks are allergic to, say, bee stings. Has there been any documentation of someone having an allergic reaction to a rear fanged venomous snake bite and would it be potentially fatal?
Yeah when you mentioned the thing about the wasps my dude. I live in southern Maryland and we have some yellow jacket species. I'm not sure which one that lives around here, but some of them have been in my backyard and a couple of summers ago there was a little hole that they had dug to make a nest in my backyard. I couldn't see it when I was mowing and when I went over that last little area I saw something come up. I figured it was debris from when I was mowing but then it hit just to the left of my nose and then to the right of my mouth and then when it hit the right the left started burning and I ran inside and I waited a while to finish mowing and then this year early in the summer that s*** happened again but this time it wasn't just two shots from the same one in the face. One got me on my left wrist. One got me up through the sleeve on my left arm and the other one IIs. You're not through my shirt and bra on the right side and I was like that sucks. So Dad told me what to do with that point. Was basically to put some sort of mesh over the hole and pour a little bit of gas down there. Basically kill the whole hive. I haven't had an issue since then and by the way, I did try to use bug spray before the gas but I could still see them moving around in there
If we are talking front fanged venomous provided you get experience working with them you should always go with something slow small and or local just in case a bite happens your hospital will carry the anti venom for example I'm in Florida the first venomous snake I would get would either be a copperhead or pygmy rattlesnake.

Last time I came this early I had a son

lol😂
You son of a- take this angry like
Well

I just want to let you know that watching your videos gave me the confidence to buy a hognose! I've had him for a little over two years now, and he's very happy thanks to your guides :)
I love to hear this
Hog noses in the wild here in Florida are so cool!
My favorite snakes!
Good decision! I kept and bred them for years, really loved them. 🥰 very active and interesting snakes
@wishfool it depends on what you wanna do, if you want to learn how to get into dangerous venomous, i would say false water cobra or even a non venomous indigo snake. a big black racer could do the trick too
Garter Snake pallidarium would be neat, one with a guppy population established. Too bad I don't have room for the giant set up required.
Oooh I wanna see that! That'd be so cool.
I personally refer to the mildly venomous snakes as “Warms”
I definitely want a false water cobra. In the future... AND A HOGNOSE. Or even a mangrove... I just want snakes. So bad.
FWCs & mangroves both hang on, if they flash & get you, but if you have a spray bottle of listerine handy, you can blast them in the eyes & they let go... then just spray them with water... 👍
False warter cobras can hospitalise you. Just so you know. Nobody has died yet but there is a risk if you're allergic and they get a artery

That last must be a pocket comment. Oops. Keep on keeping on.
I know someone that once got bit on the ass because he farted, intentionally, towards a mangrove snake. It gave him a gnarly hematoma and still has a bullseye style mark on the left cheek.
My male false water cobra is the most interesting snake to watch In my collection. He’s super active during the day unless he’s in shed.

But that venom won’t end your life, right…
Seems like that snake has a great owner!
@@erikm8372 no even if he got me the worst that would happen is swelling and maybe some bruising
@@keira4473 thank u I try my best to give him a good life. My carpet pythons get to free roam sometimes with supervision of course so they can get some exercise in.
Of the ones you showed, my favorite was the false water cobra. Beautiful snake!
for sure!
Vine snakes look like they're judging you and I love it 😂

I’d say it’s a situation like a bee-sting and your cousin didn’t know they were allergic?
@erikm8372 he also allergic to wasp vemon. I wonder if you are more likely to be allergic if you have other vemon allergies already.
I got bit by a checkered garter snake on purpose because I wanted to experience first hand what they were capable of, and there was some irritation for a few days. No visits to the emergency room though, and I knew I would be safe with getting bit by this snake.
Allergy, almost certainly.
Im happy to see that Your and Diamonds relationship looks to be back to normal ❤
we're bois
I have owned a lot of snakes in my 50+ years of reptile keeping, but my hoggie is my all time fav!
I love em too
They’re the best aren’t they? So spicy!
Garter snakes are phenomenal, I’m really glad to see them first on the list!
After years I finally got a mangrove snake! He’s definitely been worked with cause he is puppy dog tame when it comes to handling!

Luckily I’ve never had a reaction to any of the rear-fanged snakes, but have heard stories from friends and other people who have.
Great channel, thanks for posting
thanks so much!
Boom Slang is a very chill snake. Very venomous, but unlikely to bite.
My western hognose (Cowboy) looks exactly like the one you showed. Little dude bit me and then played dead like he got bit hahahaha
Favorite is definitely the Hognose. That squishy face is so cute! I have 2 thus far and absolutely love them.

I’m so scared of snakes but I just love the hog nose. If I had the nerve I’d have one of those 😂😂 love your channel
thanks so much for watching
Ive got a western who is an absolute weirdo, he loves to climb, Ive seen him wrapped around the thermometer up the glass and added some drift wood to climb and I find him basking or at least chilling up there a lot! Also I agree they're the best starter, maybe tied with garters, I think garters are a lot more rewarding personally.
Hey man. I hope you and your beautiful creatures are safe, away from all the fires up there!
There’s a fire in Canada
I would actually love to see a video of the Top 5 (Actually) Venomous Snakes. Like if you were set on getting a viper or such, what would the top 5 be
boomslang (a colubrid) is the only non elapid in the top 10 vipers tend to be less venomous than elapids on average
Rattlers. They would add so much music to your life.
Just got out of trim jail and I get this video as my reward, thanks Adam keep up the great work mate
enjoy!
Boiga are one of my dream genus. I dont know if i could choose, but Boiga Cyanea is probably top of list
such cool snakes!
Hey Adam could you please do a leopard gecko care guide
Very nice video once again and super interesting list😄
I used to play with the idea of having a falsie for a long time - I absolutely love those guys - but in the end got turned away by the amount they poop🤣
Finally a vid with my favorite, garters!!!
Still love your channel, are you going to Clint’s Rehoming ?
Clint's rehoming?
I’m currently on my third snake. I started with a common garter & then had a desert king. Now currently onto a Sunfyre yellow belly Ball python👏 I personally found garters to be the most intimidating out of the three to work with🤷🏻♂️ which makes sense with the fact they are rear fanged
I love my hognose! Gorgeous little noodle but wow, he is the most cranky little boi and has on more than one occasion tried to chew my hand and fingers. But the pain is so insignificant that I'll just sit there unamused asking him, "dude, you done now?" He is such a character.
You entrance segment is the absolute best!
My dream snake is a Conda Hognose. I don't care what color they are, I just want a Conda. And not a Super Conda, just straight Conda. I love the bigger, more spread out spotting. Since I'm my mother's caregiver and live with her, I have to still kinda get her warmed up to the idea of my getting a snake. Dav and Garrett kinda got her a little more comfortable with being around them at Tinley last October. To the point, she said she wants to go to Tinley every year. Maybe this October, they will push her a little bit further. Maybe by next year, I can get her to be ok with having a snake.
Are you gonna do a Crested gecko breeding guide
maybe!
I got bit by a garter snake a few weeks back and it wouldn’t let go. I had to gently get it off my finger over the course of 5 minutes. My hand ballooned up lol. Had no idea about the fang.
Another interesting video thank you. Hahah I was wondering what the proper name for the skeptical noodle fella was.
Hoggies are so cute and adorable if I ever have the space and time for another snake it’ll def be a hoggie.
Ringneck snakes are my favorite rear fang snake.
oh for sure
I have a egyptian false cobra, and hes amazing. Eats very well. Eats baby quail, mice, and rat pinkies
that's so cool!
Didn't realize Garter Snakes had venom till i saw one chewing on a toad. Took a minute, but realized it wasn't constricting.
False Water Cobras are definitely on my must-own list. They're astoundingly beautiful in my opinion.
Mangrove Snakes are definitely a dream species of mine. They're just so gorgeous.
Here is a fun topic. If it were possible to breed any 4 species of snake what would you choose.
I am not a snake in my hands kind of person but often thought King cobra (For docility) Emerald Tree Boa (for colour and to remove the venomous factor) Eastern Diamond back (got to have that rattle) and Gabino viper (Horns and amazing pattern).
this is an interesting concept
New to the channel … what are your thoughts on the Blue Isularis?
I remember seeing a youtuber letting his friend handle his hognose but made the mistake of not washing his hand after touching mice (if im remembering right) and the hognose bit him and his hand ended swelling up
Never been bit by a wild garter snake but I sure have been musked on. Is it weird that it smells like raw scallops to me? Lol
I love how the outline in the thumbnail is a Ball python. Their shape is so unique. 😂
I lived in singapore around Thailand and indo, and I've seen many rear fanged bronze backs, flying snakes, whip snake water snake not kraits, or sea snakes and etc
I found some bronze backs in indo and they were so cool
I have a falsie and a hognose. I love them both. My falsie isn't even defensive and is a chill boy most of the time
Hognose and the mangroves. It’s tight margin for me on which is my favorite. The Hognose is probably in the lead just because they are more manageable to handle.
they are both so great!
I keep waiting to see Madagascar cat eyed snakes on one of these lists. Amazing, placid, semi-arboreal species that often goes so unnoticed.
The snake keeping its tongue out is so goddamn cute, I want one
Hello there
Great content.
If I may ask: where is the best place or site to look for hot snakes? preferably one that has a large selection.
Thanks
Definitely the biggest twist in channel history when I saw the title. So I have to get a refund on that Inland Taipan I bought? Bummer. 😅
Jokes aside your video’s definitely made my desire to have reptiles as pets increase, and I now do. My pets thank you!
Aw man, no Eastern Indigo? Thats my dream snake. So beautiful.
Is this gonna be yet another list with hognose on the list, probably at the top? Lets find out.
hope you enjoy!
@WickensWickedReptiles - the list and the video was great as always, but not really shocked as you could maybe tell haha.
At this point could you maybe start putting that as an honourable mention and put in some lesser known and more interesting things on the list? The other four entires were great, but it feels like a bit of a copout a lot of the time with Hognoses being on so many lists. Don't get me wrong it's a more than valid entry for these lists but it gets a little old hearing it all the time you know?
So Adam I forgot if you have a blue tongue skink or not do you?
I have two
Nice
I've never handled any snake but my favorites to look at are honestly gartersnakes and false water cobras
found a small hognose snake in my yard on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.. my buddy knew it would play dead and it absolutely did..it was very small very cool snake
Some folks are allergic to, say, bee stings. Has there been any documentation of someone having an allergic reaction to a rear fanged venomous snake bite and would it be potentially fatal?
I find your videos vary helpful.
Great channel 🙌
Love your content!!
thanks so much!
Hog nose snake. They seem to be the easiest to care for. Or perhaps a exotic garter snake.
for sure
I was under the impression an eyelash viper was going to be on this list (it was in the thumbnail) lol
hog nose has the best personality, funny ass lil sneks
My co-workers are my favorite rear-fanged venomous snakes. 🐍😂
hahahhaa
Hognoses are going to be 1 my guess
good guess
@@WickensWickedReptilesi knew it also werent you going to name your channel hognose snake emporium (good thing you changed your mind)
Yeah when you mentioned the thing about the wasps my dude. I live in southern Maryland and we have some yellow jacket species. I'm not sure which one that lives around here, but some of them have been in my backyard and a couple of summers ago there was a little hole that they had dug to make a nest in my backyard. I couldn't see it when I was mowing and when I went over that last little area I saw something come up. I figured it was debris from when I was mowing but then it hit just to the left of my nose and then to the right of my mouth and then when it hit the right the left started burning and I ran inside and I waited a while to finish mowing and then this year early in the summer that s*** happened again but this time it wasn't just two shots from the same one in the face. One got me on my left wrist. One got me up through the sleeve on my left arm and the other one IIs. You're not through my shirt and bra on the right side and I was like that sucks. So Dad told me what to do with that point. Was basically to put some sort of mesh over the hole and pour a little bit of gas down there. Basically kill the whole hive. I haven't had an issue since then and by the way, I did try to use bug spray before the gas but I could still see them moving around in there
If we are talking front fanged venomous provided you get experience working with them you should always go with something slow small and or local just in case a bite happens your hospital will carry the anti venom for example I'm in Florida the first venomous snake I would get would either be a copperhead or pygmy rattlesnake.
