  • The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) has one of the best personalities of any snake, and that is important because it is one of the largest snakes in the world and is powerful enough to kill an adult human. Is the Burmese python the most reasonable giant pet snake? Yes. Is it a reasonable pet snake? No. Is it the best pet snake for you? Let's see if we can help you figure that out.

    I'd like to add with great volume that if a snake this size (or any of your pet snakes, for that matter) does get out, and does make the news it is a huge downfall for all reptile keepers. There are already a surplus of people that want to take our reptile-keeping rights away from us. Let's not give those people more of a reason, or add new people to the list. 👌

Like Snake Discovery, he uses a rack system but it’s completely devoid of enrichment. He doesn’t even have hides for them, the poor things. ALSO!

Reticulated Pythons are normally aggressive snakes, they eat a lot , they poop a lot, they average 12 feet long for males and females CAN grow up to 25 feet long rarely. Females usually 17 - 20 feet long. 300+ pounds has occurred it's possible for female Burma Pythons, African Rock Pythons and Sumatran Reticulated Pythons. They are GIGANTIC! The food bill is though the roof and they can kill you easily when in food mode once they are at least 8 feet long. That being said. I adore Reticulated Pythons and love my male/female pair of Reticulated Pythons. The 10 foot long plastic cage that an adult female retic needs is expensive. At least $900 for the adult enclosure. Same with burms.

He would bring her out sometimes and let the oldest campers help handle her. He also had a few venomous snakes, but we obviously couldn't handle them. He was the one who sparked my interest in big reptiles.

      Lilly, have you considered getting a ferret? They're not very hard to care for and it's almost impossible not to smile when you interact with them (perhaps Clint was a ferret in a previous life :) I've also found many rats to be the same way: goofy, playful, smart, easy to care for, and affectionate -- biggest downside to a rat is that it's not going to live very long (probably no more than 3 years), so you have to be psychologically prepared to lose them.

    Dear Clint’s Reptiles,
    I don’t know if you often get fan mail. But I am writing this letter to thank you and tell you how much you mean to me. And while I may not have seen you from the beginning, but I am a huge fan of your work. I love each and every one of your videos. Which is why I wrote this letter. This year I was having a rough time with life, depression, and just feeling empty. But your energy, and your videos have really helped. They made me feel like I could do something in life and something to look forward to. Every Saturday morning and now Wednesday noons I watch your videos as a tradition. And I thank you for that.
    Your videos are really fun to watch. And at the end of them I learn a lot about the topic. I especially enjoy learning in topics I know nothing about like genetics. I appreciate how you remain unbiased and don’t attack people like others have, such as when you covered spider balls and the snake housing video. Your positive energy is awesome. My favorite videO is a three way tie between sand boa right snake for you, Head to Head Crocodile skink vs fire skink, and the Nike Monitor right lizard for you.
    I’m also getting a snake sometime soon. It’s between two species. If you want, you could guess the species and I’ll put it in the ps. You covered one of them, the other is a water dweller famous for their temperament.
    Thanks for everything,
    Zuma

One thing I will say about this video is though is that I don't recall any mention of the lifespan of giant snakes, which is VERY noteable and relavent. Correct me if you did and I just missed it.

  • @eventhorizon
    @eventhorizon 5 років тому +8

    I absolutely love berms, the ones I've known who have been handled were all sweethearts, and I've helped people get pretty decent sized ones (15ish foot was the largest berm) get used to being held. Even if they start off highly defensive (more helpful to keep in mind when a snake strikes it's a defensive act rather than aggressive one in most cases unless they honestly think your body part is food), I've found with daily work and proper care they tend to chill out relatively quickly.
    The hardest one I helped a friend work with was her slightly larger reticulated python her son never touched then abandoned with her. She couldn't handle him but wanted to do her best to keep him 'cause she felt it wasn't his fault. His enclosure wasn't the best size, but once he calmed down he was usually chilling outside it.
    I may love the actual giant snakes, but after a certain point size becomes the limiter, but it isn't just for size and danger level the way many think, after a certain size their feed animals get tricky. I mean- you can go to meat markets and farms to get prekilled animals telling them not to butcher the meat for you, but it gets tricky depending on where you live... even when they don't eat nearly as often as smaller snakes.
    I wouldn't want to get an animal who need to eat feed animals larger than a rat, ideally frozen/thawed- and I feel bad about that 'cause I love rats as pets... unless it was fish. Far easier to go to a fish market to get whole fish of varying sizes if you're anywhere near port cities. SO easy.
    So yeah- I'd sooner have an adult alligator where they can eat a wider range of meats and I wouldn't have to feed whole mammals and whole chickens consistently- though as any other reptile they need a varied diet, than a reticulated python- but to be fair, I wouldn't have alligators either.
    Though I have known someone with a young alligator and "he" was awesome- so the temptation when I was told one could be gotten for me if I wanted was greater than when I was offered a breeding pair of anacondas for free.
    Though won't lie- was actually tempted at the idea of them, my brain went to turning my basement apartment into a giant snake room with the sizable bedroom turned into a pool with a waterfall for them... then I thought "Nah- I really shouldn't own anything that could kill me..." and turned them down.
    Edited to add- yeah- that part with you telling people what to do is needed if you aren't with people who know- when I helped with larger snakes where it goes into "I may not die but my ribs are breaking if not other bones..." mode and up I just have an open bottle of Listerine or a strong drinking alcohol around in case something happened and I get incapacitated and seriously have seconds to get it off- I think what people forget or don't think of is every time you breathe out they constrict more, so when you try to breathe in again you can't and so on until... ugh- I hate the idea of hurting a snake, but alcohol is one of the "easier" ways with a high likelyhood of success of getting a snake disengaged- that and grabbing the tail and pulling back can make continued constricting much harder for them, if not impossible- depending on the size.
    Very very intentionally I've topped out my handling of the large snakes at 15 feet, I want 2 people with me at a min, esp if I know they're quirky- the alcohol of the non-rubbing kind uncapped and ready for someone to grab, and a phone close enough so 911 can be called. Only a few times I only had 1 other person, and a few times whoever was with me wasn't experienced. I have no interested with working with larger on any kind of regular basis...

      @Riceball01 5 років тому

      From what little I've seen, it seems that alligators can be quite chill and relaxed, particularly in comparison to their croc cousins. However, I've only seen 2 pet alligators and both are owned by reptile breeders/UA-camrs and both have issues. One is missing a leg and the other had their growth stunted. But, even if I had the room, I wouldn't want to keep a pet alligator, not unless they were puppy dog tame.

    The Indian Python is basically the same snake, maxes out at 12ft. I also hear many Burm Breeders say most of their snakes stay much smaller, even females, than 15ft. Probably depends how their fed, like Boas. People overfed boas for the longest time so we thought 12-14ft boas were common. Turns out we were almost double feeding them as babies lol.

The keeper felt soo bad, but the snake was such a sweetheart and his dad so vigilant that nothing bad could have happenes

    I bought a Burmese Phyton when I was in college and had it for a long time. It was about 8 feet long, and I never had it in a cage as it pooped in the same spot and never showed aggression to any human. Not even a hiss. One day I bought a big live rabbit to feed him. It was 5 or so pounds. It ate it and curled up like it always did. Then I usually picked it up and put the snake in the shower to digest. I often ran warm water over him too to wash off the rabbit fur or anything that was on him. This snake roamed free around my bedroom and would actually move in and around my bed while I slept. It would put its body along mine I guess to get warm too. The morning after I fed that big rabbit I was going to get in the shower, and I forgot the snake was still there digesting. I tried to pick up the coiled snake and put it in the sink, and it put its open mouth on my arm. It didn't bite down, just placed its teeth on me. When I tried to get my wrist free for some reason predator mode kicked in and this snake attacked me. My wrist started to bleed, and I was like ok wtf do I do now. I'm naked in the bathroom with an 8ft Phyton wrapped around me. I tried to get its mouth off my wrist for about 30mins and resorted to all kinds of means. This snake would not release! I won't share the rest of the story because it is too sad, but my point is reptiles are unpredictable. Their primitive brains are incapable of many things. Pet lovers should know that their reptiles do not feel affection or love. The reptile brain is limited to safety. Your reptile can only at most not view you as a threat and that is it. Sometimes they get confused.

      only 8 feet and you had to KILL the snake?? uhh dude ive been wrapped by 8 foot snakes on various occasion, as i mainly keep larger snakes.
      I am by no means a large man, in fact, im 5 foot 4.
      releasing is as simple as mouthwash in the snakes mouth or alcohol. sometimes even warm or slightly hot water works.
      Dont Buy a large snake if you cant think levelheadedly in that situation.

      @@SilverMusicAndGaming yeah it’s easy when you handle them and are around them 24/7. But if someone is new to owning a big snake like that and they’ve never been in that situation before, I think it’s easy to panic.

    Awesome video Clint! It's so cool you are reviewing this snake because it is one of the "BIG" snakes that is awesome but is one of those pets that if you just buy it without research it's most likely going to go very bad. Burmese Pythons are in my top 5 or 10 favorite non venomous snakes and as much as I would want one later on in the future it is a "BIG" commitment and expensive. Keep up the amazing videos and the bloopers were hilarious.

    If you have a extra bathroom in your house, you can fairly easily turn it into a enclosure for one

    Used to have a Burmese. He was as sweet and mellow as a giant snake could be. I brought him home from the pet store as an 8', year and a half juvenile. Over the next 7 years raised him to a 13 foot beauty. In all that time, he never lived in a cage, he always had his run of the house. Broke my heart to have to part company with him when I had to move and couldn't take him with me.
