  • Did you know that there are over 20 families of snakes? How many can you name? I bet it is fewer than 10. So what are all of these snake families, and how are they related to one another? I'll show you. There are some crazy snake out there!

    • @billyr2904

      Current taxonomy of the colubroides is a bit of a mess, but from what I have researched, there are at least 15 families, which is more than you presented in the video. Additionally there are 2 families you left out in this video completely, and those are Xenophidiidae (2 species of spinejaw snakes, both in the genus Xenophidion, which are endemic to Borneo and peninsular Malaysia) and Bolyeridae (contains 2 genera, each with 1 species. The type genus, Bolyeria, actually went extinct in the 1970s, with the other genus, Casarea, being vulnerable. Why is this family vulnerable to going extinct? Well, it is because they are endemic to Mauritius, and island species tend to be more prone to extinction than mainland species. So they will go the way the dodo!). Both of these families seem to be closely related to the boas, though there is some debate weather they actually belong to the Booidea superfamily. Speaking of Boids, the other booid families you mentioned in the video are currently classified as subfamilies in Boidae.

      I once had a thread snake that I observed for a couple days before releasing it back into the wild. My wife thought it was an earthworm. It's eyes were underneath transparent scales. I would say that being a subterranean critter that survives by eating ant eggs and on occasion termites. I found it crossing a road on a rainy night. If I had continued to drive I probably would have run it over and I actually did not notice it while I was driving. The only reason why I noticed it was because I was in a squad car at the time and I was about to write a repeat offender a citation I suppose that little snake saved that person that night

    Once I found a blind snake in the carpet in my room, thought it was a worm at first. No idea how he got there. I names him Ol Worm and released him into the back yard.
    I took picture of course, and sent them to a herpetologist. They told me what kind snake it was and told me that owls will scoop them up and put them in their nests. They eat parasites, and owlets in a nest with a little blind snake buddy are much more likely to survive to adulthood! Nature is amazing :)

    So, here in Florida, when doing yard work, from time to time I find what I've always been told are glass snakes. They are highly delicate and even just moving them out of the way seems to kill them. They are very thin and short and look like a little string of mercury. They hang out in sandy areas and under decaying leaves(as this is where I tend to find them most often, sometimes in the water meter box) They do not seem to have any eyes. Next time I find one I'll have to take a picture but they really are striking in how they shine.

      I saw those when I lived in Florida. About the size of an earthworm, but shiny grey silver instead of pink or brown?
      They’re another invasive species apparently and that’s why nothing else looks like them.
      But I don’t think they’re harmful to the environment like some other invasive species.
      According to Google, they’re also called “flowerpot snakes”.

    • @Annie_Annie__
      @Annie_Annie__ 2 роки тому +1

      Oh, and just an FYI, “glass snake” is also a common term for the glass lizards that live in Florida (and much of the rest of the South).
      Since they’re legless lizards, it makes sense that they’re colloquially called “glass snakes”.
      So the common names can be confusing.

So pretty and shinny and when I have transferred them to a container to move them, they always seem to die, even when I don't even touch them directly. I don't know if it's just the heat of the sun(I am not putting them in a container with a lid or leaving them in the direct sun, it's just hot in Florida) or what but, it always makes me sad because I can't ever show them to anyone and say, "Hey, look at this living mercury I found."

    Gosh, Clint's so adorable when he talks about herpetology. It's just really wholesome and sweet and a great part of my day when I watch. Thanks, Clint for showing me the weird scrungy snakes I've never seen!

    Idea for a video series if you haven't already done it! A series about particular senses and how they evolved in reptiles or snakes specifically. One episode could be about the evolution and diversity of heat pits, another one could be about jacobson's organs and forked tongues, another could be about snakes lacking external ear holes and what they still have in their heads for hearing, another could be about spider eyes and how they experience their world mostly through vibrations, another could be about compound eyes in insects!
    Your knowledge, charisma, and passion are like the perfect combination for making fascinating and enlightening videos of this sort!

    I found a very, very tiny snake in my parents yard once (southeast US). I gently poked it, thinking it was a worm, only for it to suddenly wiggle like a snake and flick it's tongue like a snake. Lo and behold that there is a species of tiny worm-looking snakes native here, and I think I'd also found a baby, so when I say tiny -- it was definitely smaller than an earthworm, but particularly more narrow.

    I'm much more of a tortoise guy myself. I had one as a kid because they were tather cheap and my family didnt have time to provide for a dog or cat before he grew too big (he wasn't even a Sulcata, just a normal Greek tortoise that must've had some giants for parents). He's living happily on a reptile reserve now.

    Hey Clint! I think it’s safe to say with my 6ftx2ftx6ft enclosure that I’m one of the few people that are right for a green iguana! Those little guys are still a lot of work but they’re really fun to keep once they trust you! My whole family loves my little guy.

    Getting to visit your reptile house a few weeks ago was just awesome. Seeing my kids get to interact with the reptiles and learn made me (and them) so happy!
    As for "if you're in to that kind of thing" um, yes!!
    The bleeding from the eyes "as if possessed by a demon" bit made me laugh 🤣
