I've been watching a lot of snake handlers recently and I must say you're by far the best and most informative I've seen to date. Thank you for the great videos and stay safe!
@@macdiddles7000 yeah check him out if you like listing to someone babble and then belittle you every time you ask a question. Not me just a common complaint
@@macdiddles7000 almost all true venomous keepers hate him. I had a real problem with him for years. Then had to work with him so I put it to the side. Then just the other day he was talking bad about me to a bunch of his friends I'm done with him. If I need something he has I'll just import it from Europe.
I've had them completely flipped out beforeand I figured if she did this on the table while I was cleaning the cage this would be my last video. I enjoy how she follows me around the room the entire time I'm moving. Never taking her eyes or pits off me.
Thank you I agree they are pretty amazing and that's pretty wild. The light thing really caught me off guard when it happened. Let's put it this way I'm not eating a hot Pocket around these guys.
Nice video. Not being critical at all, but after watching many videos from Dingo, he's indicated that generally, the black headed bushmaster is quite docile. Yes, they have a strong feeding response, but there temperament is overall very good. Not implying that you want to immediately start to free-handle the snake and acknowledging every snake has there own personality, but by no means you're dealing with like a fer-da-lance. Obviously, you as the handler, needs to feel 100% comfortable and always be 100% safe.
Thanks I appreciate it. That's not entirely true I like dingo hes a pretty inelegant guy. But as far as blackheads they don't give you a second chance the south american and central american bushmasters are quite calm but blackheads are a differnt animal. I'm sure if you have one you can work with quite a bit it would calm down to a degree. But I have a facility focused just on blackheads and a few other small snake species. Now you are right in saying they are calmer than lanceheads but that's like comparing Dahmer to Manson.
@@venomman20 no worries about me checking back as soon as I get the notification I watch all of your videos.i have kept snakes since I was 10 years old when I got my first snake a red tail boa and I've been in the hobby ever since and I'll be 45 on the 18th of oct so I'll be watching for your next video
I have seen them kept like that as well. They just don't tend to live long in those conditions and maybe the public was never let around that cage in that case maybe the snake felt secure enough to be content.
The owner of the snake seen on Chandlers video in Costa Rica is very old. I could be wrong but if i remember correctly i think he said somewhere around 18yrs old. The owner takes him out of his enclosure daily and interacts with him all the time. If you go to DMexotics channel, he also went to Costa Rica and saw the bushmaster. On his video, you can see the owner with him.
Got you lol. If remember right seeing that snake it was muta which is quite a bit more laid back than melanocephala or the blackheads they are the most defensive by far
Wanted to let you no really enjoying you content been binge watching all your videos at least the ones I've missed and there amazing great knowledge when you pull out an animal it's all about that one animal so I enjoy it I dont want to compare I love other animal channels also but they service cages and it's like 3 or 4 animals in one video hard to keep up where you try and do one or 2 animals I have noticed . It's easier as a view to understand and get and contain more knowledge. Love and enjoying the videos.
They are very tough mainly because of how fragile they can be. I agree I don't think all hope is lost but I do think we need a larger captive population
I have one filmed but it's pretty short I will probably combine it with this week's feeding. So I would say it should be up sometime next week. Thanks for the kind words by the way
Im from in fact from costa rica and here we call them “mata buey” which directly translates to Ox killer which comes from rural areas of peoples Oxes getting killed by this viper which made them very feared but I personally love them and have been fortunate enough to see them a couple times
Blood Pressure regulating medications come from snake island and they're venom.That is what was Said on Aussie 60 minutes when Tara Brown went there with researchers..Copperheads make women's Breast Cancer drug..(Unsure if they meant Aussie variety or American?)
I’m a big bushmaster fan for sure , what type of Caging is that ? Did you convert something or where did you get that Caging ? ... I mean obviously the door has window locks on them but it definitely gives me a few ideas
venomman20 go to Mark Lotterhands page the video is called Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup share it leave him a comment asking if there’s anything you can do also Max’s View he has one called the Lies of the Rattlesnake Roundup I believe. Like and share. You’ve got enough followers to even make a protest yourself and have enough viewers to possibly start some movement at this point I don’t know what to do about it though and it’s heart breaking.
I do have a few just been working so many vipers figured I would try to get caught up on them I'll try to post a few Croc videos in the up coming weeks
I've seen Ethiopian mountain adders go for 7,000$ a piece another rare snake not seen often. A bit more then a Bushmaster. Right now on kingsnake.com theres one Bushmaster selling for 2,700$.
That was a South America bushmaster which is pretty common blackheads theres only 80 in the US I have seen Ethiopian mountain adders for sale once for 3,000 each if I remember right. I have a picture of them on my phone I think.
Black-headed bushmaster "Up to 12 foot long"? I stand to be corrected but I believe Lachesis melanocephala average around 1.9-2 m (6.2-6.6 ft). I think the largest reports are just short of 8 foot, that falls far short of 12 foot. The Southern American bushmaster/ Atlantic bushmaster (Lachesis muta) does gets much longer. I know the largest recorded individual of this species was 12 foot or 3.65 m long. The average is still a lot shorter. 6 to 8 foot. Even 10 foot is not that unusual. I mean no disrespect. Feel free to correct me if i'm mistaken.
Yes I was referring to the bushmaster as a whole not blackheads in particular. Them being the smallest species out of all the ones I keep the biggest is just over 7ft in length
I don't think anyone milks bushmasters they are to fragile. But I wouldnt say pets for say. My goal is to breed them to expand the captive population to help ensure they will be around for decades to come
@@venomman20 Bro you are superb, here in India most venomous snakes are common krait , Banded krait, Two types of vipers like Russell's viper and saw skilled viper and three types of cobras, South India is a Paradise for King cobras, I love your videos bro
Better question how did the guy that makes these come up with that design for his injection molding plastic machine i guess you would call it lol. I think its just a really easy and efficient shape for the process making them the go to shape
I got real depressed during that time so many false accusations was made against me I didn't see a way to fallow my dreams anymore. I gave up for the first time in my life. But as they say time heals all wounds. Now I'm back better than ever .
Well since I have an allergy to everything with fur besides marsupials and rodents I think im good. Lifes to short to not do what you enjoy so I think I will keep working with them.
Lol no this was actually custom made by a zoo animal equipment supplier. It's too long in my opinion but my other option was a 3ft collapsible hook...... I favor my life so I'll stick to the overly big hook lol
Killing the rarest viper on earth really. Figuring no research has been done on the venom yet that would be a real waste regardless how you feel about snakes. This snake could hold the cure to cancer like the southern copperhead. Or be the best treatment for high blood pressure like the bothrops. Just remembered as you kill a snake you might be killing the only thing that can save you, your son or daughter, or maybe your mother's life one day
Yeah you're right I have a slight learning disability when it comes to words, names, and speech. I'll tell you what you can put me up against the best in the world at math though I'll killem. Anyway what do you see that's misspelled?

Boy, it’s refreshing to see a video hosted by a pro that clearly loves the snakes and knows what he’s talking about. Wonderful 🐍👍🏾😊
Thank you I really appreciate the kind words :)

Thank you I appreciate that another one to check out if you enjoy learning is Nick from wicked wildlife I enjoy watching his videos
Sean Millington viperkeeper........
@@macdiddles7000 yeah check him out if you like listing to someone babble and then belittle you every time you ask a question. Not me just a common complaint

Wow! This is amazing. What a beautiful snake. I love how you keep looking at her while cleaning the shed skin out.
I've had them completely flipped out beforeand I figured if she did this on the table while I was cleaning the cage this would be my last video. I enjoy how she follows me around the room the entire time I'm moving. Never taking her eyes or pits off me.
I love the black head bush master. Insanely rare to see and a absolute power house. I'll keep my eye out for more.
They are an amazing species. Their food aggression is unmatched. Thanks I'll try my best to have another bush master video up next week
Dude they’re such cool snakes!!! I love them!! I’ve had them go for the heater in the room, lots of great info bro
Thank you I agree they are pretty amazing and that's pretty wild. The light thing really caught me off guard when it happened. Let's put it this way I'm not eating a hot Pocket around these guys.
Venom man arent u from maryland.
@@lexshifflett757 I'm from Missouri but moved to Maryland for work then ended up in PA
The moment when he called a venomous snake sweetheart. That’s when I knew he lost his mind or seriously loves his job. 🐍
Probably a little of both lol
I like how you emphasise stress on the snake. Good work
Thank you I appreciate it
That is an Amazing Snake. 👏
What a magnificent snake

Fantastic video love the content of the big vipers keep up the great work. Have a great day.
Thank you I appreciate it. I have many more videos coming out soon.
Wow my all time favorite viper.i like e the bushmaster especially the black heads just a stunning absolutely beautiful
I have 2 more that are more outstanding looking than this one check back I'll upload a video of them soon

Saw one on Chandler’s channel a couple vids back. It was at a study and zoological institute.
Cool snake in an open display area.
Beautiful snake bud!
I have seen them kept like that as well. They just don't tend to live long in those conditions and maybe the public was never let around that cage in that case maybe the snake felt secure enough to be content.

Got you lol. If remember right seeing that snake it was muta which is quite a bit more laid back than melanocephala or the blackheads they are the most defensive by far
She is very well behaved! Beautiful snake!
Thank you they are ok except when feeding then they are nuts
She is TOTALLY WATCHING YOU !!! 👀 👀 🐍 🐍LMAO......SHE SEEMS SWEET 💘AnD BEAUTIFUL
Bushmaster is an awesome snake
They are one of my favorites for sure

Certainly a beautiful animal. I hope through captive breading the numbers can bounce back one day. I have heard that they are challenging to care for.
They are very tough mainly because of how fragile they can be. I agree I don't think all hope is lost but I do think we need a larger captive population
Beautiful snake
Thank you
✨Sweet Snake✨
What an awesome video and snake. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. When do you think you will be doing you’re feeling video with that snake?
I have one filmed but it's pretty short I will probably combine it with this week's feeding. So I would say it should be up sometime next week. Thanks for the kind words by the way
Snake molesting😂😂😂
So do all of these snakes that you've been featuring in your videos lately belong to you or are you just helping maintain someone else's collection?
Most of the animals in the videos are mine others belong to friends
Im from in fact from costa rica and here we call them “mata buey” which directly translates to Ox killer which comes from rural areas of peoples Oxes getting killed by this viper which made them very feared but I personally love them and have been fortunate enough to see them a couple times
That's pretty interesting. Thanks for the insight. That would be a dream to see one of these in real life in the wild that is
I love golden lancehead snakes
I have a few videos coming up you might like then
My 2 favorite snakes are the gaboon viper & the king cobra
Blood Pressure regulating medications come from snake island and they're venom.That is what was Said on Aussie 60 minutes when Tara Brown went there with researchers..Copperheads make women's Breast Cancer drug..(Unsure if they meant Aussie variety or American?)
I can't wait to see more vipers.
Thanks I will have a new one out as soon as possible if all goes well it will be tomorrow night
I love your videos.
Thank you I appreciate it
One of my top five favorites. Absolutlely love their coloring and scale texture. Hope you have success in reproducing them.
Thank you I have high hopes
Why
I’m a big bushmaster fan for sure , what type of Caging is that ? Did you convert something or where did you get that Caging ? ... I mean obviously the door has window locks on them but it definitely gives me a few ideas
No these where bought from a custom cage supplier I'll try to find the name of the guy that makes them
Those are Joe damke custom arboreal cages he supplies to some zoos
venomman20 oh awesome man , thanks I’m definitely going to check him out
@@EquitySolutionRayRaz awesome as far as I know he has social media. And you are welcome thanks for watching.
venomman20 definitely man , the channel will do good , when word gets out it’s gonna take off , keep it fun 👍🏽
I love those enclosures
Thank you I'm going to upload a video on them in the next few days pros and cons type video
@@venomman20 awesome
What’s the chances of you making it to Sweetwater Tx in March to protest the Rattlesnake Roundup? I’m trying to get as many people I can.
Not sure my trips all depend on work I can help raise awareness though just let me know what I need to do

I just want to hold it..... probably not a good idea though, for me or the snake. Looking forward to seeing more
Thanks. Yeah with her it would be a bad idea lol.
That's a sweet profile image by the way from what I can tell on my phone
Those scientists should have been looking for the snake at night using lanterns, maybe then they would have found more. 😉lol.
Yeah all those one armed scientist lol
Look how the snake is watching him as he moves...scary stuff.
Unlike most venomous snakes I keep this one means business.
@@venomman20 I see and you are so brave.
Or dumb lol just depends on how you look at it 😂
Love how his head remains motionless
Trying not to be seen or lining up for the strike
Do you still have any crocodilians? I really loved your morelets. Cheers!
I do have a few just been working so many vipers figured I would try to get caught up on them I'll try to post a few Croc videos in the up coming weeks
More Vipers I like the sound of that!
Thanks I'm pretty excited for what's to come

Exactly what i was lookin for
You already knew it was a blackhead bushmaster?
@@venomman20 no u told me it was a bushmaster on fb
Hahahahaha fair enough lol with so much going on I get turned around all the time lol
@@venomman20 i bet lol
Black-headed bushmaster "Up to 12 foot long"?

Yes I was referring to the bushmaster as a whole not blackheads in particular. Them being the smallest species out of all the ones I keep the biggest is just over 7ft in length
that cage looks tiny af for that bushmaster
Its a little small had to wait for the bushmaster racks to ship
@@venomman20 Beautiful snake man nice to see it got a proper enclosure.
What kind of tanks are those and where do you get them?
Everyone has ask I'll upload a short video on them answering all questions in the next few days
The blackhead are a little bit smaller than the normal ones?
Blackheads are shorter than muta also known as the south American bushmaster but they have a much larger venom yield and are thicker
Do u milk them for venom or are they pets.
I don't think anyone milks bushmasters they are to fragile. But I wouldnt say pets for say. My goal is to breed them to expand the captive population to help ensure they will be around for decades to come
I have never seen enclosures that look like dog crates.
These are custom made by a professional caging company of sorts just can't remember the name right off the top of my head.
When you get a chance venomman let us know what company. I'm sure they are fairly inexpensive.
@@rattlesnakebyte755 will do
These are Joe damke custom arboreal cages some zoos use these behind the scenes
I'm am a snake lover and a snake saver but I see a snake like this first time in my life bcoz I m from India
Thanks for watching. What all types of snakes do you see around India. I'm guessing cobras and carpet vipers what about Russell's vipers?
@@venomman20 Bro you are superb, here in India most venomous snakes are common krait , Banded krait, Two types of vipers like Russell's viper and saw skilled viper and three types of cobras, South India is a Paradise for King cobras, I love your videos bro
Thank you so much. You have some amazing native venomous I like the kraits and Kings but let's be honest your vipers are nice too lol.
Are they good with children?
these guys bites are too crazy.. super hot
Yes they are
How did u customize them dog kennels that awesome
Better question how did the guy that makes these come up with that design for his injection molding plastic machine i guess you would call it lol. I think its just a really easy and efficient shape for the process making them the go to shape
@@venomman20 there awesome I want some when I get my venomous permit
Are those neodeshas or modified dog kennels with the 80/20 system
These are Joe damke custom arboreal cages he supplies a lot of cages to the zoos
What kind of enclosure is that???
I'm actually making a video as we speak about these cages
Yeah that's kool man where are you located??
Only worth what you are willing to pay
True but figuring there's only 84ish in the country that's a pretty attainable price
A pair of black head bushmasters cost 3k euros lol
Really crap I need to start importing
Why did you quit UA-cam some time ago? What happened? I was under the impression that your animals got confiscated.
I got real depressed during that time so many false accusations was made against me I didn't see a way to fallow my dreams anymore. I gave up for the first time in my life. But as they say time heals all wounds. Now I'm back better than ever .
Glad to see you doing better. Stay up, and don't let life's bullshit get the best of you!!
Thank you I really appreciate that
@@venomman20 no problem bud, stay safe

a fool and his money. Get a good beagle for 100 bucks. They can run rabbits too.
Well since I have an allergy to everything with fur besides marsupials and rodents I think im good. Lifes to short to not do what you enjoy so I think I will keep working with them.
What did u just find the largest snake hook you could find it reminds me of the giant sunglasses you used to be able to win a Chuckie cheese
Lol no this was actually custom made by a zoo animal equipment supplier. It's too long in my opinion but my other option was a 3ft collapsible hook...... I favor my life so I'll stick to the overly big hook lol

My overly massive hook I'm pretty sure lol

How it should look is dead.
Killing the rarest viper on earth really. Figuring no research has been done on the venom yet that would be a real waste regardless how you feel about snakes. This snake could hold the cure to cancer like the southern copperhead. Or be the best treatment for high blood pressure like the bothrops.
