Hey, weirdos, if you haven't already, be sure to check out our message about the importance of USARK and subscribe to their UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/video/C2OhQiXWuoo/v-deo.html
Could you take a look at Kong: Skull Island - Spider scene? Is it a true spider or? It seems to have petapalp claws? So would it be a Giant Tailless Whipscorpion of some sort or a spider with petapalp claws?
Ok two things giant land snails are not hermaphroditic and two not all mosquitoes are bad the ones that bite us most definitely are but there is also elephant misquotes that eat other mosquitoes as larva and some of them only eat nectar their whole life and are key pollinators of certain plants
Watched your USARK video as soon as it came out. I’ve been telling everyone, even my friends who just sort of like reptiles, to please check out the channel. And that if they think people should be allowed to responsibly keep reptiles then maybe think about subscribing to help us out.
"Oh, you horrifying thing. You're disgusting. You're an awful beast, and I love you. How about you go back to my hat." may be one of the most amusing things I've ever heard.
After spending a day or two in the hot humid jungle you'd do it too. Shoot, I'd use the spider as a shower scrubby if I had to as long as I could wash the cheese off my balls lol 🤢
I used to that with lizards in Malaysia. They loved the humid environment of the shower and were always chillin on the shower walls or ceiling. Sometimes I would shower while having half a dozen lizards on the walls and ceiling. They were small, length between 2 to maybe 6 inches. Some of real chunky, you could tell They had recently engorged themselves on something. Huge bloated abdomen. But they would just stay where they were, unmoving, enjoying the hot humid air and the steam coming off my hot shower. They were harmless so I left them a lone.
Tailless Whip Scorpions are definitely at the top of the "harmless, but looks terrifying" category of invertebrates. I'm glad I'm not the size of a cricket though.
really? I think they're cute. They always look like you've just told the worst joke with their little hands. Like they're saying "really???" and being grabbed by one feels super weird lol. They also clap.
The first time I saw one was on fear Factor and people were eating them. I remember being horrified. Much, much, MUCH later, I have grown to love spiders mostly with the help of jumpers. I now have my very own pumpkin patch sling. I cannot believe people were doing something so cruel to these animals. That it was allowed to be shown on TV with hype.. I'm glad we've grown as a society :-)
For anyone who's curious about the millipede he showed off, it's from the Psammodesmus family and they're really interesting! They're also referred to as moss millipedes because they were the first millipede known to be a host of ectocommensal mosses
Wow, Thank you for sharing! Do you know what type of bug was "on" the millipede by the head? I am thinking mite but not really sure. Came back to say, after Clint mentioned chiggars, I believe that was a chiggar on the head.
Jesus Christ, merry mother of satan's left nipple. It's like my right arm is made entirely out of urethras and each and every one of them is having a red hot catheter put in an ripped out five times every second. My very being is on fire, my only desire left is for death himself to bless me with sweet relief. I'll give that a 4. No... 4 plus.
Hey Clint! Your channel has single-handedly sparked an appreciation and fascination for insects and reptiles in me that I never had before. I have been terrified of bugs, spiders, and indifferent to reptiles like snakes, but after watching your videos I find myself more and more comfortable and actually excited to learn more about these amazing animals. I love learning about them and seeing how cool and rad they can be! I definitely want to get a snake in the future, but I'm currently obsessed with beetles! Could you do a video (or several!) on beetles? How are they so strong? What's a "scarab" anyway? How did they get so many beautiful and rad colors?! What's up with dung beetles and why are they so gross and fascinating at the same time? Do beetles make any cool noises or sounds like a grasshopper can? I have so many questions!! I know there are over 400,000+ different species of beetles and some of them MUST make great pets! Thank you for all you do!
@@ClintsReptiles Thanks Clint! I've watched that blue death feigning beetle video in the past and it definitely sparked my interest in all things beetles! Thanks again for all the work you and your team put into these videos!
8:29 Actually, in december 16, 2021 Marek et al. published an article on Scientific Reports, in which they described a species of millipede (Eumillipes persephone), that had 1306 legs. So yeah, there is only ONE true millipede right now.
I remember seeing the banana spider in my invertebrates class, And a fact that scares me about them is that they lift their front legs to look bigger and they open their mouth and show you their big red claws, and they con hop like 30 - 40 cm horizontally. So you know spiders usually are afraid of you? haha This ones literally will run to catch you if they can. So it is kinda cool you covered them in this video :D
Normal spider: "I'm standing in threat pose! Look at me being BIG when I stretch out my legs in the air! I'm scary! Go away! ...please" Banana spider: "Take a good look at this! This is your doom!"
Velvet ant is also easy to distinguish by how it move. Very dynamic and sudden movement. Ants also move quickly but I noticed that velvet ants do it in very specific way, move-stop-turn, just like normal wasp.
@@thebobbalo1 I was stung by one when I was probably like 7 years old. A red velvet one. Definitely an experience I'll never forget. Seen these guys in all kinds of bright colors, but I feel like you can tell they're the same thing even if you don't know exactly what they are. The darty movement, the fuzz and the size. All very distinct no matter if they're red white or yellow.
@@pptemplar5840 those guys are all over the south east US. We call em cow killers or cow ants. And yeah their stings hurt I had one sting me when I was kid 0/10 do not recommend.
just a tip, when in a professional setting, that word is pretty outdated and I could barely find any articles supporting it. They are much more commonly referred to as "forcipules"
Clint, recently a new millipede species has been discovered and it's been deemed the first (and only) millipede that lives up to the name. So yes, it has over a thousand legs (counted with a microscope because it is very tiny). You should look into it! What is weird is that in Dutch (I'm from Belgium) millipedes are called miljoenpoten (which literally mean millionpedes) and centipedes are called duizendpoten (which actually means millipedes)
16:23 I love walking stick bug's, they are my favorite insects. I had a small amount of them when I was younger. My mom helped me care for them. I had spiders and toads, as well as snakes and fish. My family also rescued a blue octopus once from a fish market. He lived in a large 300 gallon fish tank in our basement. We had a small aquarium with starfish and jelly fish. Even four puffer fish. My dad loves fish. My mom loved all animals. Mom raised me so she taught me about nature. I didn't watch TV until I was 13 because I was too busy outside. TV is boring when you have the real deal outside to explore and go on adventures. I am handicapped and an adult living on my own with in home assistance. I hate being inside all the time but I have to because I will get sick. Life happens. You got to accept it or it will take you to dark places. I do have great memories. ☺️
As a Brazilian, I can tell: since we learn about the wandering spider at school, we get to be > traumatized< to take care everytime we go to a fruit market or fair. Obviously it's very rare to see one out of Amazon BUT, you know, bananas are sold everywhere, planted on our grandma's gardens, etc.
Regarding millipedes and 1,000 legs... a millipede was relatively recently discovered that has over 1,000 legs! It's called Eumillipes persephone and lives extremely deep underground, where it's apparently useful to have a super-long and thin body.
I find insects terrifying, amazing, alien and fascinating all at the same time. I could watch these strange looking guys all day. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for pointing out differences between the tailless whip scorpion and the vinegaroon. As soon as I saw it, I said aloud, “That’s a vinegaroon!” I feel better knowing they look similar. 😁
Wandering spiders and tucandeira (the bullet ant) are really something to be afraid of. The ant have a basically not very toxic neurotoxin that evolved to uniquely cause pain. Distilled, pure form, special, unforgettable kind of pain. The spider is crazy. She is a aggressive, very duper super venomous spider. They feel very comfortable within houses, shoes, kitchens, bathrooms. Not shy at all.
That Harlequinn Beetle has one of the coolest paintjobs I've ever seen on an insect. Combined with his gargantuan arms and his miniature meatcleaver mandibles... that little dude is both terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time.
As someone who REALLY wants to get into entomology, these are all so cool and fascinating creatures. I love them all so, SO much and it saddens me that a lot of people don't know they exist and/or don't appreciate how important they all are to the ecosystem they reside in. Thanks for teaching people about some of the lesser know creatures out there, Clint.
For millipedes with 1000 legs, look up "Eumillipes persephone". Apparently one has been found with 1306 legs, so if you want one with _exactly_ 1000 legs it's just a matter of catching it on the right day. :) Also, technically "ped" refers to feet, not legs. But there's generally a 1:1 ratio, anyway.
Fantastic video!! I have been looking forward to this one, and I am not disappointed! I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from the ones you shared with us!
10:36 the way it lunges at your hand the INSTANT it notices it's there... that bug must've been steaming mad when you caught it in a little tupperware LOL
Heya Clint! That stick insect at 15:58 with the long face is actually a grasshopper! More specifically a horse faced grasshopper (Pseudoproscorpia spp)
loved this video, all of the videos from the amazon trip have been amazing.... so jealous and thankful that you were able to go and that we can see the amazing things that you found while there. thanks clint!!
Oh, chiggers. I hate chiggers with a passion. We call it Scrub Itch in Australia, and I agree they're THE WORST. I seem to be one of the 'lucky' souls who gets a stronger reaction to their bites than most, I had the rash for weeks afterwards. Fortunately where I am, they don't carry any diseases, but north of Rockhampton they can carry Scrub Typhus.
I don't know how I ever missed this channel. Many sleepless nights have been spent down rabbit holes. But this was truly a joy. Thank you for sharing your passion and joy. Fantastic and fascinating video. I'll be following from now on!
I had three Giant African Land Snails (aka GALS) and the radula is nothing to be scared of even in snails this size! it's an extremely gentle scrape, a little tickly actually, and could not possibly hurt you.
This is the first video I've watched on this channel and I can already tell that Clint's Reptiles is going to be one of my faves! Awesome video! That millipede is amazing! It looks prehistoric.
Wonderful video, and invertebrates! As an invertebrate UA-camr and nature explorer, I would LOVE to visit the Amazon Rainforest sometime in the future- as it is filled with the most diverse and COOLEST of all invertebrates... Such fun observing this diversity! 😍
When I was 15/16 years old, I got to circumnavigate the world with my dad who was a Merchant Seaman and we went out via the Panama Canal. I can remember these horrendous, huge black wasps who seemed very aggressive but luckily neither of us (my sister and I) got stung. I am not sure because its a long time ago but when you put up the photo of the tarantula hawk wasp, that's what instantly sprang to mind. There's rainforest along both banks of the canal and it was misty and very hot and wet but you don't forget huge black wasps who look determined to have a go at you. I may be wrong but I wasn't up for a really close encounter whatever it was! Having one in your cabin was close enough for me thanks very much!
Also I love invertebrates all of them, from crustacea to hexapoda and everything in between. F* I love every living thing this planet has produced, in whatever form it has taken on this planet! I hate to say it (it is a human weakness, to feel like we're better than everything else. Hell we even go as far as thinking we're better than others of our own.), but even my own species are pretty damn cool. 😎 Have a great day out there lovers of life, and don't forget to live life with love! Damn, that was very hippie sounding. 🤣
I'm on a binge of cool and scary bugs and I just found this guy and I love him. Not only does he seem to have a love for insects, but he's incredibly knowledgeable and very interesting!
I heard that an invasive species of spider from the Amazon has made their home in Japan. And it is big and scary. Been a few years since hearing it, so I don't actually know what species it was, but I remember something about bananas. A hybrid between a millipede and a trilobyte? A millibyte?
Oh man, that millipede looks like arthropleura! Also, depending on whether you meant EXACTLY 1000 legs or not, their is a genus of millipede that can have over 1000 legs, the aptly named eumillipes.
That peanut bug is fairly closely related to the spotted lanternfly that is currently invasive here in the eastern United States. P.S. Your millipede looks like an Arthropleura! 😲
I really enjoyed the consistent theme of "this is horrifying and terrible and possibly the ugliest [whatever] I've ever seen, and I absolutely love it" that runs through this entire video. Makes me wonder what you tell your offspring! Seriously, though, Clint- rather than your wealth of information (which I absolutely DO appreciate), your sense of wonder is my favorite thing about your videos. It's contagious, and I am deeply grateful for your willingness to share it with us.
Brilliant video, Clint. Fun, informative, entertaining, and fascinating. Love when you get out in the field and get eaten alive by insects, OK maybe not that part. I learned a lot, really enjoyed this, and as it happens watched it while eating lunch.
The Harlequin Beetle looks very beautiful and ornate. He is gorgeous as a new creature. I can say that because none live near me, and I will never come across them during my life.
Imadgine being a big scary beetle roaming around and then a giant picks you up you try bzzzing at him and he just repeats it back at you mocking you lol
Evolution By Natural Selection is awe inspiring, brilliant and amazing!!! Just look at how so many animals, insects, etc., have evolved over billions of years. It’s mind blowing and I love it!!!
here in brasil is actually kind of weird but i know of at least 2 spiders that the bite actually has that "afrodisiac but unfun" kind of effect XD. Also here they are caled "armadeira" spiders because of the unusual behavior they show when defensive. they put up their 4 front most legs very high up and show their fangs. frigin stinkin rad
I clicked on this video very hesitantly because I've seen several pretentious and even misinformed reptile channels. However, Clint is very knowledgeable and an awesome guy! Definitely subscribing.
15:00 I own a few Giant African Landsnails (originally had one, but the hermaphroditism is also a cloning device for some species), and I can guarantee you don't need to worry about their radula. They will attempt to take a bite out of you, especially if your hand is wet, but in between the elasticity of your skin, and the slow grinding nature of a snails attack they can't really harm you. They are very delightful creatures, and for the simple brains they posses can develop quite the personality. I can definitely recommend them as starter pets for someone who wants an easy creature to take care of. They will eat almost any plant from potato peels after a good lunch all the way to a dandelion from your garden. Or grass. Or basically anything green that's not acidic or poisonous. If their environment isn't good they will let you know by hybernating. They will also hybernate if they don't like the food you give them. Also be careful with bananas, they can develop an addiction. Really the only effort you need to expend is digging through their substrate every now and then to look for eggs. Some people boil them, some people freeze them, I have a bearded dragon that likes a little omelette, it doesn't really matter how you get rid of the eggs, but I can guarantee that once they hatch they're too cute to harm them in any way, and depending on the specie one snail can lay up to a hundred eggs. Mine lay usually around 30 so don't get careless, they grow quick, and if you're let's say having a winter, and feeding them by vegetables you buy at a store specifically for that, you will go bankrupt. I've seen adult snail down half a cucumber in a day, thirty of them will devour anything green they can get their little teeth tongues on.
How did you initially get into owning them as a pet? They sound pretty cool but I've heard Giant African Landsnails can carry parasites that cause meningitis, which doesn't sound all that fun on the other hand. That they're apparently illegal in the United States... and invasive in Florida... hope they aren't as replication-happy as you imply.
My male cat used to bring katydids in the house, (I live in Minnesota by the way) they would be in his mouth and he would meow with his mouth closed, and then he would open his mouth and huge katydids would crawl out. He would then just walk away and leave it there the poor things were always missing one leg I had to grab them and put them back in a tree
I get the feeling that, when not making interesting videos, Clint will also solve unusual mysteries alongside his large talking dog and 3 groovy friends.
One of the most beautiful video you did. I would watch your documentaries all life long rather than the Nat geo channel. If you can do more it would be awesome.
I went to the Amazon when I was 4 or 5. It was one of the most memorable and incredible experiences of my life. I do hope to return. It's so beautiful there.
Centipedes are just fascinating. Here in Portugal we have a beautiful giant species. The Scolopendra cingulata. I actually used to catch them as a kid and take care of them! One of the most beautiful ones in my opinion it looks like a tiger with many legs!
Gorgeous! God’s creations never cease to amaze & fascinate! 👏🏻😄 there’s still so many new creatures yet to be discovered! Its so sad that many may never be cos of loss of habitats & rain forests etc 😢
I'm a novice entomologist, and its so awesome to see these creatures 😍 its funny how we react to seeing them the same way, only the compliments I give them are beautiful, cute, etc xD
Clint, I'm originally from the south central area of the New Jersey Shore, just north of the Pine Barrens. I remember exploring in a sandy area in the woods, we called it a Deer meadow, and there on the ground was a Red Velvet Ant. I looked it up in one of my animal books and discovered it was a Velvet Wasp and, off the top of my head weren't they parasitic? Back in the sixties I was a letter carrier in Lakewood ,N.J, , I walked my mail route. An old man I delivered too was sitting on the ground on his lawn, pulling up clumps of grass and replacing them with some sort of ground cover. While I was watching he discovered what looked like a large worm underneath a cleared spot, but it turned out to be some kind of snake, with cloudy eyes. I never found out the species, but that was the only time I ever saw one of those. Cheers, Frederick Rik": Spector

I love them all so, SO much and it saddens me that a lot of people don't know they exist and/or don't appreciate how important they all are to the ecosystem they reside in. Thanks for teaching people about some of the lesser know creatures out there, Clint.
How is your entomology journey?
For millipedes with 1000 legs, look up "Eumillipes persephone". Apparently one has been found with 1306 legs, so if you want one with _exactly_ 1000 legs it's just a matter of catching it on the right day. :)
Also, technically "ped" refers to feet, not legs. But there's generally a 1:1 ratio, anyway.
This is so informative and is now one of my favorite videos!! Just learning stuff in your style is so pleasant!
I absolutely love how happy you sound about interacting with each animal. You're the best!
Fantastic video!! I have been looking forward to this one, and I am not disappointed! I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from the ones you shared with us!
10:36 the way it lunges at your hand the INSTANT it notices it's there... that bug must've been steaming mad when you caught it in a little tupperware LOL
I was looking for someone talking about that. I’ve never seen an ant so consciously aggressive.
Clint got stick bugged! So many insects packed into one on video. Absolutely great stuff.
That one that was walking on him in the b-roll was HUGE!
thank you, clint. i was sufficiently terrified. i saw a snapping turtle the other day and was able to identify it because of your channel
Heya Clint! That stick insect at 15:58 with the long face is actually a grasshopper! More specifically a horse faced grasshopper (Pseudoproscorpia spp)
I was just gonna comment that, really cool bugs
loved this video, all of the videos from the amazon trip have been amazing.... so jealous and thankful that you were able to go and that we can see the amazing things that you found while there. thanks clint!!
I love Clint’s videos, I recently got my first lizard and his videos really help.
Imagine leaving the room to do some chore, them coming back to your laptop/keyboard and a walking stick sits over the entire length of it.
That would be the best day ever!
Oh, chiggers. I hate chiggers with a passion.
We call it Scrub Itch in Australia, and I agree they're THE WORST. I seem to be one of the 'lucky' souls who gets a stronger reaction to their bites than most, I had the rash for weeks afterwards.
Fortunately where I am, they don't carry any diseases, but north of Rockhampton they can carry Scrub Typhus.
I don't know how I ever missed this channel. Many sleepless nights have been spent down rabbit holes. But this was truly a joy. Thank you for sharing your passion and joy. Fantastic and fascinating video. I'll be following from now on!
I'm so glad centipedes aren't bigger. Could you imagine a dog sized centipede? Horrifying
Centipedes from the carboniferous era were 3 meters long
@@sebastianfiel1715 I'm glad they're gone :')
@@dylanjesus1552 just put the one in the video in a 35% oxygen environment and they'll be back for cuddles..
@@rosiehawtrey it would take some time though. But it is cool that we have the knowledge to bring nightmares back to life.
@@sebastianfiel1715 That was a millipede, not a centipede. Modern Scolopendra get bigger than any prehistoric centipede known.
I had three Giant African Land Snails (aka GALS) and the radula is nothing to be scared of even in snails this size! it's an extremely gentle scrape, a little tickly actually, and could not possibly hurt you.
LOVE invertebrates! Absolutely stoked to see this video. Bugs can be so crazy, I love them so much
This is the first video I've watched on this channel and I can already tell that Clint's Reptiles is going to be one of my faves! Awesome video! That millipede is amazing! It looks prehistoric.
Wonderful video, and invertebrates!
As an invertebrate UA-camr and nature explorer, I would LOVE to visit the Amazon Rainforest sometime in the future- as it is filled with the most diverse and COOLEST of all invertebrates... Such fun observing this diversity! 😍
When I was 15/16 years old, I got to circumnavigate the world with my dad who was a Merchant Seaman and we went out via the Panama Canal. I can remember these horrendous, huge black wasps who seemed very aggressive but luckily neither of us (my sister and I) got stung. I am not sure because its a long time ago but when you put up the photo of the tarantula hawk wasp, that's what instantly sprang to mind. There's rainforest along both banks of the canal and it was misty and very hot and wet but you don't forget huge black wasps who look determined to have a go at you. I may be wrong but I wasn't up for a really close encounter whatever it was! Having one in your cabin was close enough for me thanks very much!
Also I love invertebrates all of them, from crustacea to hexapoda and everything in between. F* I love every living thing this planet has produced, in whatever form it has taken on this planet! I hate to say it (it is a human weakness, to feel like we're better than everything else. Hell we even go as far as thinking we're better than others of our own.), but even my own species are pretty damn cool. 😎 Have a great day out there lovers of life, and don't forget to live life with love! Damn, that was very hippie sounding. 🤣
Clint this may be your best video the amount of information and spectrum if arthropods u covered is amazing
I'm on a binge of cool and scary bugs and I just found this guy and I love him. Not only does he seem to have a love for insects, but he's incredibly knowledgeable and very interesting!
"Well hi there!"
"Aaaaaah!"- flees in terror.
What a shock I got.
I heard that an invasive species of spider from the Amazon has made their home in Japan. And it is big and scary.
Been a few years since hearing it, so I don't actually know what species it was, but I remember something about bananas.
A hybrid between a millipede and a trilobyte?
A millibyte?
Clint is my favorite nature educator since David Attenborough. BBC, god forbidding you need a new heir to the throne, this is the guy.
Oh man, that millipede looks like arthropleura! Also, depending on whether you meant EXACTLY 1000 legs or not, their is a genus of millipede that can have over 1000 legs, the aptly named eumillipes.
absolutely living for the enthusiasm when Clint gets to say "toxicognaths"
That peanut bug is fairly closely related to the spotted lanternfly that is currently invasive here in the eastern United States. P.S. Your millipede looks like an Arthropleura! 😲
Wow! Such a diverse and amazing swath you came across!
None of these "huge, horrifying" insects are a match for my foot.
"Welcome to the _Peruvian_ Amazon", probably the only part of the Amazon where I wouldn't feel like I would get show, lmao.
This makes me feel sad to think that the Amazon is being destroyed at this very minute.
I really enjoyed the consistent theme of "this is horrifying and terrible and possibly the ugliest [whatever] I've ever seen, and I absolutely love it" that runs through this entire video. Makes me wonder what you tell your offspring!
Seriously, though, Clint- rather than your wealth of information (which I absolutely DO appreciate), your sense of wonder is my favorite thing about your videos. It's contagious, and I am deeply grateful for your willingness to share it with us.
Is the peanut bug the best pet bug?
8:25 Literally a mini Arthropluera!! That’s such a cool millipede.
…just here absorbing the positive energy Clint is radiating… …ahhhhh thats better! Thank you Clint.
Brilliant video, Clint. Fun, informative, entertaining, and fascinating. Love when you get out in the field and get eaten alive by insects, OK maybe not that part. I learned a lot, really enjoyed this, and as it happens watched it while eating lunch.
I love the Thorny Devil Katydid with my whole heart! And TIL the difference between katydids, crickets and grasshoppers
The Harlequin Beetle looks very beautiful and ornate. He is gorgeous as a new creature. I can say that because none live near me, and I will never come across them during my life.
ugh I absolutely loved the catydid, the ones I typically see are so small and innocent, but I love the bigger angrier looking ones
When Clint is scared of a spider, you KNOW it's something not to be messed with!!! lmao
Love the channel so much. Love learning about this stuff while I'm taking care of chores. Makes life better.
this video is wonderful, i never knew these creatures existed, but the spiny devil katydid RULES.
Spiny devil katydid is now my favorite insect!!
Look up Weta and Australian King Crickets if you like the Spiny Devil Katydid... They have less spikes, but make up for it in the mandible department.
Imadgine being a big scary beetle roaming around and then a giant picks you up you try bzzzing at him and he just repeats it back at you mocking you lol
Evolution By Natural Selection is awe inspiring, brilliant and amazing!!! Just look at how so many animals, insects, etc., have evolved over billions of years. It’s mind blowing and I love it!!!
here in brasil is actually kind of weird but i know of at least 2 spiders that the bite actually has that "afrodisiac but unfun" kind of effect XD.
Also here they are caled "armadeira" spiders because of the unusual behavior they show when defensive. they put up their 4 front most legs very high up and show their fangs.
frigin stinkin rad
I clicked on this video very hesitantly because I've seen several pretentious and even misinformed reptile channels. However, Clint is very knowledgeable and an awesome guy! Definitely subscribing.
When Clint says scary and disgusting he's really saying beautiful and amazing.
Those bugs are crazy and also this is my 1st time watching your channel so I'm excited to go see some more
15:00 I own a few Giant African Landsnails (originally had one, but the hermaphroditism is also a cloning device for some species), and I can guarantee you don't need to worry about their radula. They will attempt to take a bite out of you, especially if your hand is wet, but in between the elasticity of your skin, and the slow grinding nature of a snails attack they can't really harm you. They are very delightful creatures, and for the simple brains they posses can develop quite the personality.
I can definitely recommend them as starter pets for someone who wants an easy creature to take care of. They will eat almost any plant from potato peels after a good lunch all the way to a dandelion from your garden. Or grass. Or basically anything green that's not acidic or poisonous. If their environment isn't good they will let you know by hybernating. They will also hybernate if they don't like the food you give them. Also be careful with bananas, they can develop an addiction. Really the only effort you need to expend is digging through their substrate every now and then to look for eggs. Some people boil them, some people freeze them, I have a bearded dragon that likes a little omelette, it doesn't really matter how you get rid of the eggs, but I can guarantee that once they hatch they're too cute to harm them in any way, and depending on the specie one snail can lay up to a hundred eggs. Mine lay usually around 30 so don't get careless, they grow quick, and if you're let's say having a winter, and feeding them by vegetables you buy at a store specifically for that, you will go bankrupt. I've seen adult snail down half a cucumber in a day, thirty of them will devour anything green they can get their little teeth tongues on.
How did you initially get into owning them as a pet? They sound pretty cool but I've heard Giant African Landsnails can carry parasites that cause meningitis, which doesn't sound all that fun on the other hand. That they're apparently illegal in the United States... and invasive in Florida... hope they aren't as replication-happy as you imply.
My male cat used to bring katydids in the house, (I live in Minnesota by the way) they would be in his mouth and he would meow with his mouth closed, and then he would open his mouth and huge katydids would crawl out. He would then just walk away and leave it there the poor things were always missing one leg I had to grab them and put them back in a tree
I get the feeling that, when not making interesting videos, Clint will also solve unusual mysteries alongside his large talking dog and 3 groovy friends.
Spiders are scary enough, but I find centipedes even more horrifying. Love walking sticks though. That one was almost the length of Clint's shirt!
Awesome video, never heard of this channel but instantly subscribed after watching.
One of the most beautiful video you did. I would watch your documentaries all life long rather than the Nat geo channel. If you can do more it would be awesome.
8:16 that millipede looks like the animations of prehistoric arthropods I used to watch on animal planet as a kid!
"What a horrible creature... I love it"
That's why Clint is the best
I love how he flinched at 2:22 lmao
Fantastic video Mr. Clint!
The little red mite on the millipede!!
"Everythint about this is terrifying"
Said Clint with an odd hint of glee in his voice
I went to the Amazon when I was 4 or 5. It was one of the most memorable and incredible experiences of my life. I do hope to return. It's so beautiful there.
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
Centipedes are just fascinating. Here in Portugal we have a beautiful giant species. The Scolopendra cingulata. I actually used to catch them as a kid and take care of them! One of the most beautiful ones in my opinion it looks like a tiger with many legs!
Gorgeous! God’s creations never cease to amaze & fascinate! 👏🏻😄 there’s still so many new creatures yet to be discovered! Its so sad that many may never be cos of loss of habitats & rain forests etc 😢
thanks again for your time and dilligence
I'm a novice entomologist, and its so awesome to see these creatures 😍
its funny how we react to seeing them the same way, only the compliments I give them are beautiful, cute, etc xD
Clint,
I'm originally from the south central area of the New Jersey Shore, just north of the Pine Barrens.
I remember exploring in a sandy area in the woods, we called it a Deer meadow, and there on the ground was a Red Velvet Ant.
I looked it up in one of my animal books and discovered it was a Velvet Wasp and, off the top of my head weren't they parasitic?
Back in the sixties I was a letter carrier in Lakewood ,N.J, , I walked my mail route.
An old man I delivered too was sitting on the ground on his lawn, pulling up clumps of grass and replacing them with
some sort of ground cover.
While I was watching he discovered what looked like a large worm underneath a cleared spot,
but it turned
out to be some kind of snake, with cloudy eyes.
I never found out the species, but that was the only time I ever saw one of those.
Cheers,
Frederick Rik": Spector
That millipede looks like it is trying to be a miniature version of an Arthropleura, and I love it.
Amazing new Amazon intro!!
