Pleasure to see a person who use a proper hook to hold large bodied Bitis. It could be so harmful for snake ribs that rounded hooks could be banished for snakes with large bodies and important weight. It seems that Danny have a great knowledge about the animals he have.
I think are snakes are way stronger and badass then people think. They can easily go through a handling with rounded hooks for a short period of time and not even be bother about it. My conclusions are based on handling few snakes and I know how strong they are. Even a small snake can be exceptionally strong and they can display that strength whenever they wish to. I could be wrong and In no way am a snake expert (far from it) but am open to correction if am wrong.
@@oldmonk_ Snake have no sternum, than the ribs are completely free and for heavy weighted bodied snakes like these large Bitis and sometimes large crotalus should be always manipulate with large hooks with flat hooks. If you have a bad repartition of the weight you could damage the ribs and worse, the internal organs. Snakes are considerably lesser strong than you think. A bird could kill instantly a snake by a simple blow on his head or his neck. Than it is important to take precautions for an animal what have not evolved to be manipulate. Friendly
Totally nutty. A gaboon viper can flip totally back wards and strike something touching its own back. The strike is blinding fast and explosive. Your playing with fire.
@@rcss212 totally agree with u. Some people are in tune with these animals. Others see it as playing with death. where people like David can remain so calm it’s as if they are just a branch the snake is hanging from. Not everyone should do it. David has the sixth sense for sure. He understands the repercussions of his actions
I'm amazed at how calm and gracefully David handles the gaboon viper. It seems the gaboon viper doesn't even know someone is handling him. I would make a nervous twitch and get bit. That is why David is a Master snake handler. He is truly one with these beautiful animals
I've often wondered what it feels like to hold a Gaboon viper. They look really fat and heavy whereas I always imagine a King would feel like pure muscle. I loved how the green mamba calmed down once you'd got a comfortable hold of it's tail and raised it. You're awesome to watch and I love how Dan cares for his animals.
You are the most meditative snake handler I've ever watched. So calming to the snake AND the viewer. The comment that any arboreal snake will climb up that hook no problem couldn't be more true.
WOW thank you,that is the biggest gaboon I have ever seen and I have seen a few DUDE you are still the snake whisper and thank your friend for letting us visit his collection of beautiful animals ,thanks again and be safe.
I'm new to this channel and David is so gifted, he has a connection I haven't ever seen with snakes. It's mind blowing. I'm really enjoying the past content and hope he keeps posting.
I don’t want to sound like one of those oh he has a death wish guys but I probably will. Your knowledge and love for these animals is amazing and I do love your videos and the content you put out but this video is going to be in classrooms as how not to free handle deadly poisonous snakes. I know you love the touch and feel of the snakes but was it really necessary to hold the gaboon with both hands. You looked like you were second guessing your decision when he started turning around. They strike hard and fast and backwards. If he struck at you you would of dropped it and you could of injured the snake or been bit. If you would of hurt my snake I would of been pissed. Mambas are nuts and I presume that was your first time handling one. Your in a 10x10 box with with people around and the guy even has to tell you to leave it lay or it’s gonna climb the hook and tag you. Don’t you think you should of passed on handling being the conditions and your experience with the snake were not ideal. My ass gets puckered watching your videos but today was a hole new level. The wrong person is going to watch this and say if he can do it so can I and the outcome is going to come out horribly wrong. You don’t have to touch and feel every snake every time. Not trying to sound like your father and this is going to sound super corny but I was super disappointed watching this. Id hate to see something bad happen to you.
It can be a lot easier to read a snake if you physically have hands on it. I'd be wary of handling any viper species because as an Aussie I'm only used to handling elapids. And I'm a firm believer in snakes having their own personalities. One can be a wild caught chilled animal while a captive born and raised animal that may be several generations captive bred can be a complete psycho. I also believe that a venomous snake has no more want or desire to bite than any python.
YES a davidsfeed video the animal god answered me I was just searching your channel to see if you came out with new stuff and you just did... this guy has a very impressive collection that small room and with the fastest snakes in the world can be a trap but with experience like David and this guy it’s not an issue .. very cool video I like when David goes on snake room tours!
Not gonna lie, in the beginning of the video, I thought he said "We are still at daddy's house."......I paused the video and was worried I clicked on something I shouldn't have LMAO. Keep the videos coming David. I love them!
Would love to see you with Dingo another snake venom youtuber. You'd be so calm while dingo is like Steve irwan lol. Would probably see you David smile or laugh a lot with that guy!! This video is wicked and your ability to read new snakes is spot on+
That was pretty awesome and nerve-wracking at the same time! LoL. I've heard that the Tai-pans do not ever dry bite. Like one in a thousand maybe. I believe the saying was the snake doesn't start a fight but will finish one. IDK. Kudos David for demonstrating calm in the face of lethality, once again! Please stay safe 🙏 and healthy 🤘🐍 thank you!
Dan seems like a decent guy. The sharp-nosed viper was, wow. Beautiful colors. The Taipan, Mambas, and other fast-moving snakes do not seem enjoyable to handle at all. Just sweaty hands from from such stressful focus on the animal and reacting to its movements.
In love with the vibe of that Gaboon. Great handling. I really appreciate the use of the latin names. Would it be possible to get more close ups of the snakes? I know that they move but it's very possible.
If I have to define it the Gabon’s handling is one of the most elegant and respectful ever see. I hope everybody noticed how calm down was the green mamba after David began to handle it, amazing and beautiful
Nice to see a Deinagkistrodon in this video. Simply gorgeous snakes. Along with some of the Protobothrops the most Beautiful pitvipers of Southeast Asia in my opinion.
Most ambush snakes have an insanely fast strike. This viper... oh man, if it hit you... would be like putting your hand in a bear trap and the ensuing pain would even be 100 times worse than that. Then, I suppose it's all downhill from there.
Awesome video David & Rupert! Also David, I love your shirt! A quick UA-cam tip if I may, bring extra shirts with you so it looks like you didn't film multiple videos on the same day! Love the content brother! Be safe!
0 attempts to biting, just in a "dont want to be handled" mood. Nothing special when it comes to mambas, they are generally more on the edge than Naja but yeah this was not any type of attack but trying to climb higher which they often do to feel more secure.
Benjamin Esterberg well, after having watched the video again, I have to agree with him about the closed mouth. It does actually look like the mamba was trying to climb. Nonetheless, I would never ever describe that snake as quite calm! 😁
Benjamin Esterberg yeah, I get it, but he’s right. Mambas are notorious for being a handful and the owner of the snake should know what he’s talking about. Having said that, in comparison to other snakes that mamba is definitely not calm.
I used to be super creeped out by snakes, not saying they are my favorite but it’s intriguing to watch you handle. Would you be offended if I said you were a little bit crazy? 😀
Let me say something my life its to valuable in taking a chance to be playing with some ones else snakes that i don't know how they'll behave tores me..
The keeper brought up how close the eyes are together...maybe it's because that snake is an ambush hunter and doesn't need the ability to judge how far its food is from its face, as it only strikes when the prey animal is practically standing on the snake?
Im curious the permit requirements on that side of the world. Do you apprentice the same or because they're use to venomous species if they just get into it?
@@1adamcarosella Well, I didn't think antivenin was available since venomous snake like mambas don't occur in the wild in the N.L and also due to the high price for antivenin.
mah szy I was being sarcastic there is nothing out in Netherlands that is interesting as far as snakes but like David said plan is don’t get tagged beside to be honest he’s one of the best handlers I have seen on video so his experience and knowledge of each animal will help
Probably said this before, but please give us better close ups of the snakes. You guys talk about the beautiful patterns, textures, etc. but give us much chance to appreciate it. I understand your dealing with a highly venomous creature that sometimes is very skittish but camera person doesn’t need to be within striking distance to get great shots. Better and softer lighting would also help. Even perhaps a little slow mo now and then if the snake is moving too frenetically to get sharp footage. Out in the wild is a whole different ballgame. Thanks.
I have never seen a sharp nosed viper this calm. Would never risk freehandle them. But it’s your choice of course. I understand that. I just wish you well.

The mamba and taipan are game changers when it comes to free handling.
Elapids are insane to handle !
Michel Petrus
They’re scary to watch being handled even. I watch with one eye.
Totally nutty. A gaboon viper can flip totally back wards and strike something touching its own back. The strike is blinding fast and explosive. Your playing with fire.
Every professional I’ve seen never free handle venomous snakes this child is playing with fire
David is not a professional snake handler. He is a Master. Big difference . He is confident, calm, and is like no-one ever seen.stop hating.

Mambas & PnGs are absolute psychos with that agility & potency
Boomslang and Bothrops too..
I love the hook for that gaboon viper.
I'm literally thousands of miles away from where these guys are and I WANT 911 on standby for ME! Seriously though - gorgeous snakes.

Png is the same species as the costal taipan here in Australia. Thankfully there only in certain areas of oz
WOW thank you,that is the biggest gaboon I have ever seen and I have seen a few DUDE you are still the snake whisper and thank your friend for letting us visit his collection of beautiful animals ,thanks again and be safe.
Whew! Those Mambas, Taipans....
I love how western mamba is chill comparing to a black mamba, they are family but still so different
I'm new to this channel and David is so gifted, he has a connection I haven't ever seen with snakes. It's mind blowing. I'm really enjoying the past content and hope he keeps posting.
Thanks so much!! New video dropping in a few hrs!
David is amazing..Never saw anything like it. So calm and gentle.
*Green mamba lunges and almost bites him*
“As you can see, this snake is quite calm”

I just feel so anxious and fuzzy for you while I'm watching this video.
Good to see you being more safe David. It's made me enjoy your videos way more
My favorite snakes,...
1. Black Mamba
2. Gaboon Viper
3. King Cobra
4. Russells Viper
Great vid,.. and great collection!
Dude you're going to get tagged and you know it. Please don't be so careless. Free handling is just stupid
Hi Danny. Your snakes are beautiful and your cages are big enough for the Mambas to mess around. Kudos to Danny.
That 100 pace is beautiful!
That green mamba was sick
Would love to see you with Dingo another snake venom youtuber. You'd be so calm while dingo is like Steve irwan lol. Would probably see you David smile or laugh a lot with that guy!!
This video is wicked and your ability to read new snakes is spot on+
This guy has a killer collection. Digging that shirt, David 🤘 I'm loving the videos lately guys, top notch!
Dank je, Danny.
The acutus is gorgeous. I just about jumped when the Papuan Tai Pan exploded out of that hide box!
Living gems. The colors and patterns on all those snakes are crazy. Cool video. Thanks... Be safe
The patterns on these snakes are gorgeous!
Awww David's in his happy place lol I cant wait for you guys to be back traveling I know you must miss it terribly.
The sharp nose viper is very gorgeous.
I wish I were wrong but the house always wins !!
Imagine if the snake crawled somewhere in the corner of the room and got lost. I would be terrified to even look for it
This guy must have happy neighbours 😲😲😲
I know I'd be happy to be his neighbor!
If you make it to 30 I will be surprised.
Man.. green mambas are usually calm ..that was blew a few lines in his enclosure before he came out
can i have this Rupert voice for morning alarm
Big fan
Awesome collection.
That was pretty awesome and nerve-wracking at the same time! LoL. I've heard that the Tai-pans do not ever dry bite. Like one in a thousand maybe.

Taipan do dry bite, one of the keepers in Australia zoo took a dry bite from a Taipan before
Another great video boys! That gaboon has beautiful mesmerizing pattern. He takes really good care of these Animal! Stay safe guys 👊
That Hair so slicked back lmao
Awesome Dave.. luv your posts.
I just luv gaboon vipers..
Thanks for the show, guys. Shouldn't really free handle, but, a lot of things are possible when you show respect and consideration. And you do.
Dan seems like a decent guy. The sharp-nosed viper was, wow. Beautiful colors. The Taipan, Mambas, and other fast-moving snakes do not seem enjoyable to handle at all. Just sweaty hands from from such stressful focus on the animal and reacting to its movements.
Great video with great people and fucking nice snakes!
Awesome! It takes a lot of mad skills to handle those fast venomous snakes😎💪👍🤟🙌🤘✌🐍.
treesnakes bodycontrol is on godmode, hard to guess how far away is safe
In love with the vibe of that Gaboon. Great handling. I really appreciate the use of the latin names. Would it be possible to get more close ups of the snakes? I know that they move but it's very possible.
Fuck that for fun. You do your thing if that's what makes you happy. I'll just watch from the sidelines lol.
Yup you’re crazy
PNG Taipan is a snake constantly wired !! I have friend with over 30 years experience and he will not handle them but will handle a Mamba!!
he is amazing color and pattern are nice
Ilove your naillllllllll
Thanks for the video, loved it!
The deinakistrodon you can find pretty much throughout sichuan china, and contrary to ruperts belief, they are quite common to find lol
If I have to define it the Gabon’s handling is one of the most elegant and respectful ever see. I hope everybody noticed how calm down was the green mamba after David began to handle it, amazing and beautiful
Awesome video as always!
Wow so incredible
😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have much respect to you and your hobby’s
that gaboon hook is one of a kind , lol
Nice to see a Deinagkistrodon in this video. Simply gorgeous snakes. Along with some of the Protobothrops the most Beautiful pitvipers of Southeast Asia in my opinion.
Loved that Gaboon.
I would highly advise fresh antivenom for any snake you decide to free handle.
I always hold my breathed somehow and i don't know why
Shark nosed viper is cool af
Wow! As I expect, free handling the png Taipan and also Mamba is impossible even for David!
Most ambush snakes have an insanely fast strike. This viper... oh man, if it hit you... would be like putting your hand in a bear trap and the ensuing pain would even be 100 times worse than that. Then, I suppose it's all downhill from there.

well he showing you not all venomous snake is out to bite you
That Taipan I believe it was, sure did strike close to his face .
Watching From The Philippines 🤗♥️
Mambas are so unpredictable.
crazy thing is this is a tame mamba, mambas and taipans are not for rookie snake handlers
That shirt is dope af.
Beautiful Gaboom
Handling that green mamba is playing with fire... “this one is quite calm” 🥴🥴

green mambas and green boomslang like similar ,it's really hard to compared
So what happens if he gets tagged? Doubt they have antivenins in The Netherlands.
What do u mean there is a ton of venomous dangerous snakes in the Netherlands
They do have antivenin, but the plan is not to get tagged.

They want the snakes to be calm, hard to zoom in and get good video, and if you put the camera in their face, it may agitate them.
DAVID how do you free handle so many highly venomous snakes is there a certain way to do it-great videos keep up the good work
So cool
You're bad ass bro
I have never seen a sharp nosed viper this calm. Would never risk freehandle them. But it’s your choice of course. I understand that. I just wish you well.
Dem hook skills doe lmao
Those are some huge nope ropes.
How are you mr david
