    I think the coral snake looks like it was designed for Christmas viewing! How calm snakes can be when calmly handled by humans. How many other wild species of animals would remain so calm in the close proximity of humans?

    Do you make it a point to put them back exactly where you found them, to ensure they remain in their own territories?

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  2 роки тому

      Yes, we safe the exact spot where we found the snake and release it there so it gets back to its territory. There are studies showing that especially in small vipers if you release them too far away they often die. They don't know where to hide, where to find food or water, or they are simply stressed too much.

    Do you guys give advice on how to walk in areas like that, to minimize risk of getting a snake bite? It's so scary that you can't see the things! Even if you're looking right at one, it's almost invisible in the leaves. And they don't move! No wonder most people are bitten because they unintentionally step on one. You guys may love snakes, but getting a bite from one is very serious permanent damage even under the best of circumstances.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  2 роки тому +1

      The best way to walk in areas with snakes is to watch your step, always have proper shoes and if it is dark, use head torch. Never put your hands in dense vegetation or never step in very tall grass.

    A boy from my home town was bitten by a Fer-de-lance , while on vacation in Costa Rica.
    The doctor Cut his leg open from the hip to the ankle, so that his leg would not burst open.
    Administered 60 + ? doses of anti venom. The boy lived. Do NOT vacation in costa rica.
