False Water Cobra, The Best Pet Snake?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2020
- The false water cobra (Hydrodynastes gigas) is quickly becoming my favorite snake. I can thank Emily from Snake Discovery for starting this obsession. They are beautiful, intelligent, and interesting. They also get HUGE for a colubrid snake. They are somewhat venomous, but what's a little venom between friends (I say that because I have been bitten by this little guy)? So is the venomous false water cobra (note that it is a false cobra, it isn't the water that's false) the best pet snake for you?

Happy Saturday from the girl behind the camera! 👋🏻😄📷 Hope you're safe and healthy. We had so much fun filming in our new set for the first time! 🙌🙌🙌 And how could we not have a blast filming handsome Shelby?? He's amazing! 😍 Hope you like our new shirts designs! What animals and shirt colors would you most like to see?? Have a beautiful week!
🐍✌️😘
Thanks for all the wonderful recordings you have done for the community.
Is that your beautiful artwork on the new shirt design?
I’d love to see a Sumatran Short-Tailed Python design on a black shirt. The black, white and silver with orange eyes against a black background would look amazing 😍😍😍

@Lmichellea you guys should put dart frogs in that tank! its big enough and the right set up for them and they can be with fish
Lmichellea this is great! Was literally commenting to my wife that the set is different and how great it looks! Keep up the amazing work. This is by far my favorite absolutely honest reptile Channel
False Water Cobra: *bites Clint*
Clint: 11/10 Best snake ever
I have been bitten by one.they are rear fanged. But their teeth are like razor blades. You will bleed.
Jeffrey Holmes I know I have a grumpy false water but I don’t use gloves as I’m lazy get bit all the time
@@teddyroosevelt2838 With aggressive pets, you really don't want to get bitten. Even if you don't mind it, you're kind of encouraging the animal by establishing a pattern. It also stresses the animal out. I always use an indicator like a sound or a color to indicate feeding time so they know the difference between mealtime and handling time.
TheDreadedJuggernaut no such thing as a aggressive snake
@@teddyroosevelt2838 lilith might disagree. Maybe voracious eaters would be a better term. Either way, best to avoid bites whenever possible.
I just realized that Clint is basically the mr Rogers of the reptile world
Yesssss thats such a good comparison
Yesss that what he is, I knew just couldn't figure it out 🤣🤣🤣
YES
He is indeed the Mr. Rogers of the reptile community. And that’s what makes him so stinkin’ rad.
Well hi there!
It’s a beautiful day in this Terrarium
A beautiful day for a reptile
Would you be mine
Could you be mine
Won’t you be my reptile?
I went almost the whole video not knowing Clint was wearing a tie
Lmao
OMG you just blew my mind 🤯 he IS 😱😂🤣
Omg just saw it. Wow A
Why bother?
Hahaha, me too!
"It's not the water that's false" can't forget that line
I need the shirt lol 😂
Shelby: I bite him the first time he picked me up... And He is still around... I guess I can keep him.
"They'll eat anything with a backbone"
Good to know I won't need to worry about being eaten.
If you get a false water cobra your no coward.
Boohoo stop attention seeking.
Amazon milk frogs should go in the new tank! They're active during the day, they know how to handle themselves around water, they need a vertical enclosure, and they LOVE high humidity! That enclosure is a perfect froggy home!!
Upboated
A little colony of milk frogs would be so cool!
10:00 "launch themselves at food and thrash it about everywhere..."
Like a monitor without legs😁
Very much so.
Snakes are the most closely related lizards to monitors anyway, no?
Cheers,
Chris
@Che Yo Chris is me.👋
@@Cgraseckbro it's a UA-cam comment, not a letter
Two years ago I didn’t even know the reptile hobby was a thing. Now I have a dream snake, and this is it. All the exotic beauty, intelligence, and hooding abilities of an actual cobra (supposedly) without the life-threatening venom. If I had the experience, space, and money for a falsey I’d be so tempted. But as it stands I have a ball python that’s already enough responsibility and I’ve realized the thought of getting a snake that’ll be twice his size doesn’t sit perfectly with me. I’ll just live vicariously through Clint and Emily! 😅
I have cornsnakes, hognose, scheltopusik and a tegu who is sleeping in a drawer in my bedroom. FWC won't be scary if you have them from a young age and the animal learns to trust you. I've been bitten by Hognose which will give you a nice swollen arm that's like a piece of wood...
I've been living vicariously for three years lmao :,)
Thats how I feel about Tegus! I dream of having one but for now I am psyched with my little blue tongue skink
Good for you understanding your current limitations and not letting your heart lead you to be impulsive! Love vicariously and learn- perhaps one day it will be the right snake for you and a good time to take one on.
I’m a minor, and I have a wonderful Kenyan Sand Boa named maple 😊. My dream snakes when I get to adult and have stable job/income is a FWC, hognose, Arabian sand boa (search it up). And those will probably change the more I learn, I have only had my snake for around 3 and a half years (so I am still an amateur but know the basics) , so the more I learn about snakes and different species....I can’t wait until I get fully into it!
“A warm snake”
I imagined a snake in a sweater omg I can’t get over how cute that sounds.
“A hot snake”
Sunglasses and leather jacket.
No that’s a “cool” snake
Took me five minutes to realize you were wearing a tie.
I didn't realize it until I saw this comment
I'm watching this with my corn snake. I decided to get him after I stumbled upon your channel. Big thanks for your content! Reptiles are the best!
Great choice and thank you!
I am scared of my corn
I have never been bitten
But that make it worse
@@tharlinshwe3403 if you get bitten, you get bitten. You wouldn't even notice from a corn snake. I've had a worse puncture wound from a stapler 😂 once you get bitten (if you do) then you'll no longer be scared of it as you'll realise it's nothing
I love that falsies are finally getting a dedicated video from a big channel!
I think Emily has some as well. They deserve big attention!
Che Yo what
@Che Yo ...you've achieved comedy
False Water Cobras, as well as Hognoses are the most venomous species of snakes we are aloud to have in Arizona without having to get permits. Both are lovely though I'll be setting up an enclosure for them in the future. Congrats on the new setup.
In IL you need a permit for plains Hognose because they are endangered.
You need an additional educator's permit to keep a false water cobra because they are _medically significant_.
Thank you so much! We're loving it so far!
You can actually have any and all rear fanged snakes in arizona including mangrove snakes which are more potent than FWC without permits. Arizona does not consider rear fanged snakes venomous. only true HOTS you need permits for so go rear fanged crazy if you want haha
@@tremartin4127 What about boomslangs and twig snakes?
@@tremartin4127 a friend at the Phx Herp Sanctuary was telling me a week ago that you can keep native rattlesnakes with a hunting license. Not protected species like massasauga but you could keep a western d.back. also, no gila monsters bc they are protected. still not recommended to keep a rattle or coral snake but possible.
*Barely contained screeching*
I adore that snake, I watched that video of you beeing bitten while unpacking and I fell in love immediately.
Can you do an episode on Dumeril's boa, they're an underrated awesome species!
I'd like that!
@@ClintsReptiles And the dumeril's monitor too please I'm dying to see what rating you would give those I'm betting its equal to that of a Tegu
Please! I have my heart set on a dum and this would make my day.
You got your wish!
Clint has the most wholesome animal channel on UA-cam. Change my mind.
I literally started looking into false water cobras last night and a few hours later Clint posts a video about them. I guess it’s fate 😃
THAT is a very pretty snake. And it's wild how you can look into their eyes and see their intelligence... I may get one some day, but I don't have much experience with snakes yet so it'll be a long while.
I really love your content, keep up the good work! :D
Cant wait to add a false water cobra to my little snake family 🖤🐍Also I love the new set! Hearing the waterfall throughout the video is unique, relaxing and fun 🖤
The water feature and your calming voice are an lovely relaxing combo. Lovely snake. Found your channel via Snake Discovery.
I've been waiting for this video since you got him! I got my female hypo around the same time and she's definitely one of my favourite snakes. Can 10/10 reiterate your comment about being food oriented. She thinks literally everything is food, and every time I go past her enclosure she pops her head out from under the substrate (she burrows a lot) and pops her face by the glass whilst wearing a substrate hat to check if I have the food. If you can handle having a little bit of fear/respect for an animal and are happy to be slightly wary whilst handling and always keep an eye on them, a falsie is a great snake. Naga has never tried to bite me but I'll never handle her without at least one eye on her.
What an incredible studio setup! I love the background! You did a great job with lighting, the sound is excellent and I LOVE the way you guys framed the set with plants! Well done team!!
I hope you are still on track with the reptile room! I’m very excited to bring my family down to see you all when the virus dies down and you are open!!
The audio and "all that" is great in this video. Congrats.
Finally, the big one about what's become one of my most favorite snakes that I've been looking forward to; thanks Clint and keep the videos coming!
I've been looking forward to it also :)
Getting mine tomorrow! I've watched and rewound this a couple times, and definitely will a couple more! Thanks Clint!! You're amazing, dude! Hope I get to shake your hand one day!!
I've been debating for the past year or two if I want to get a False Water Cobra or a Black Tail Cribo. I've been really hesitant too get one until I had more info save for the basics of care. Thanks for filling in one half of the puzzle for me Clint, and I already have a breeder lined up if I choose to go with an FWC. Great vid as always and I'm sure we all are looking forward to seeing more videos and the new studio!
LongBow 45120 - Drymarchon are so badass. If I could only keep one snake it would be an eastern indigo hands down.
@@mattslev Ohhhhhh wow. I'd never heard of an eastern indigo, I was expecting blue, but that is a gorgeous snake. My goodness.
Clint is one of maybe 5 people in the world that can use the word "bodacious" and still be a radical dude.
Clint’s slogan with this snake is “no glove , no love”
You sneaky sneaky man!!!! "We'll have to do that video soon." HA!
😉
Crazy beautiful snake, love the new backdrop at CLINT'S REPTILE ROOM!!!! Audio was a little echoey, but not too bad; the new tank with the waterfall is beautiful and isn't too loud (I was worried the sound would bother me when you put the poll up a while back but it's no bother at all!). If I ever make it out to Utah I'll 100% work in a visit with the family to the most rad reptile room in the west!
Clint your new studio looks amazing. I'm so happy for you. I told you I contacted the Animal Planet People telling them about you..(lol...I sound like some important TV person..😄)
They need to give you a show. You're unlike any other UA-cam channel around and I see big things happening for you in the future. In the very near future if we all survive is Coronavirus crap. That's another thing I want to thank you for...breaking down what this truly is and making it not so scary and explaining the details of this ...you don't know how much stress you took away from me after watching that video so thank you for that. Moving on isn't the water Cobra the one that bit you? I hope you have a nicer snake this time
Im so happy that you and your family are thriving Clint
So proud, as a fan, of everything you've accomplished!!
I'm so glad these are getting more attention in the hobby! I hope to keep and breed these in the future, including the incredible lavender morph. They are just stinkin' rad! 💜
Video makes me day brighter as always.Thank you so much.
Clint, I would love to see a super dwarf/dwarf reticulated python video from you and your team. I got a super dwarf retic about a year ago and he is simply amazing. However, there is so much incorrect information about them. The months of research I did was so frustrating to me, because of the pure amount of misinformation from both the community and even from some breeders. There are some great sources of knowledge about them, but I have not seen a channel besides Reachout Reptiles that covers super dwarf reticulated pythons, anywhere near the quality that I know you and your team could provide to the public.
Nobody does it like you do! Keep up the great work guys; your all an inspiration!
He's so gorgeous, I'd love to have one. Been on The Serpentarium's email list for wild type cbbs. I'll have to wait until next year though. I got the email right after closing on a house and don't have the spare time or money to take on that big a commitment this year. I guess I'll just have to keep rewatching your videos on Shelby and spoiling my turtle until then.
Wise. I'm excited for you!
I live here in Modesto CA and got mine about 2 months ago I made the drive to Lodi to get mine, a male about 3 ft. long, he was $400.00 and even though they said he was highly aggressive and bitey mine's not. For this snake just like my western hognose I handfeed but this falsey is quite the handful at feeding time and like this guy said a eating machine who chows down super quick. Check them out they still have some
Love the new set! Hope you and you’re family are staying safe and sane during these crazy times. That tank looks perfect for some tree frogs!
Amazon milk frogs would be perfect for the enclosure!
Gj love how passionate you and your channel are about the details of the pets you feature... My suggestion for your new enclosure is of course your favorite Frogs Thanks for doing what you do guys GJ
Sorry I'm late Clint! Been watching way too much scary stuff and missing out on the wholesomeness of your channel!
So happy about this video!
And I completely understand where you're coming from with the fascination.
First time I saw a fwc in real, it was at a friend of ours who just got in a big male - and he completely blew me away!
For one thing, he was *massive*, then there's the incredibly beautiful pattern, and most of all there was just a certain awareness in his eyes that is hard to describe.
He kept his attention on us the whole time we were there in a way that I have not seen on a snake until then.
Definitely a species on my wishlist!
Awesome video Clint! Love the new set 😊
Thank you so much Clint. I love your videos. They are very informative and enjoyable
You're very welcome. Hopefully they help a lot of people and a lot of reptiles.
This is my dream snake and I plan to get one after getting more reptile experience. They are so beautiful.
Binge watching your videos, you are funny and informative. Purchased my first crested gecko, your information along with tons of research helped sooooo. much thank you!
I always look forward to your videos especially during this time. I love the new studio and glad you covered this gem of a reptile.❤️❤️❤️stay safe
Thank you so much! They are just too rad to wait any longer.
Love your channel!!!! 🙏❤️🤘✊👍 Thank you!! Keep up the great and awesome work!! Be safe out there!
It's amazing how not head shy he is! He's beautiful!
Your videos make my day! I can’t get enough of the new studio and I’m drooling over Shelby-No cause for alarm, my drool is mostly non-venomous.
That's such a relief. Thank you so much!
That’s awesome you got him from Kyle. I started looking for a FWC back in December and he was recommended by a bunch of people, but had just sold the last two of the previous clutch. So I’m waiting till the eggs he has now hatch and will have one shipped to me in July. One of my top 3 favorite snakes 👌
Love the new setup. Looks so much more alive.
Congrats on the new studio! It is lovely, and thanks for this informative video. It showed me that I am not ready for one of these amazing creatures, but maybe some day!
Thank you so much! We're really excited about it. And I'm glad the video helped you make an informed decision. Mission accomplished!
The new studio is AWESOME!
Wow such an expressive face! What a beautiful snake, those eyes are just phenomenal. Thanks Clint!
Congrats on the new studio!!!!
Most colubrids have an anticoagulant in the spit, even if they’re not venomous. When I’m bitten by kingsnakes it literally feels like a mosquito bite style itch. Don’t have a FWC but maybe it’s something like that? I hope because I want one badly
I would love to see more videos on different small monitors (e g. Mangrove, quince, etc.)! Love all of your videos! Keep it up!
I absolutely love my Falsie. She has been such an amazing addition to my serpent family. So so smart, so active. Such a personality!
I look forward to getting more in the future, going to save up for a lavender!
new studio looks great!!!!!
Loving the new studio in the reptile room, and especially loving shelby there. Never planned on getting any venomous snakes, but you just made me reconsider that hard no XD. Unfortunately, I don't have the money or room for one currently, and I definitely don't have adequate experience yet. I am getting my first pet snake today though, a ball python! (Next step after that, Mexican black king snake)
Yay for the new studio space! Love it!
I think false water cobras look incredible. I don't want to own one, but I'd really like to see one IRL.
CONGRATULATIONS on your 1st video in the new studio! Lol that first second of lot water noise made go oh no! But it's fine and audio sounded great! It looks AMAZING too!!!
I'm excited to watch Shelby grow! Wow I didn't realize they got that big!!
Also being a yu-gi-oh fan I keep thinking of Kuribohs lol definitely NOT a snake lol more of a giant hairball!
Thank you so much! It will be fun, and I'll be sure to keep you all updated.
@@ClintsReptiles in your poll you did a while I voted the waterfall wouldn't bother me. I think I've changed my mind on that though. Idk if it was just particularly loud in this video but it was pretty off putting. Love the video though! And Shelby is such a big boy now
It would be awesome to see a room tour or something like that just to see how Clint himself keeps his animals
Normally I wouldn’t say something like this as it’s about a different snake, however the hog nosed snake and it’s venom was mentioned. I had a friend who was bitten by her hognose and had a horrible reaction to it. He hand and arm swelled, her skin died and peeled away, and she was left with some scaring. So it’s worth knowing that different people can have different reactions with venom, and it’s better to just be safe, and be cautious.
Yaayyy. Finally after like 2 months of begging you, you finally did it. This shows that you listen to your audience!!!
Good grief
Am I the only one who notices how well your tie blends into your shirt?
I love this video!
I will mention, I have an albino corn snake - and about 4-5 minutes in the video you mentioned you didn't know of any other snake that might shake its tail against the enclosure when it does not want to be messed with. My boy of 10 years after feeding and if I open the lid too early, he will rattle his tail, mimicking a larger creature, saying that he does NOT want be messed with. I wonder how many others pick this up!
Thank you~
Been waiting for this for quite a while
You should put Milk Frogs or PDFs in there! Milk Frogs are generally calf and not distracting, and PDFs are so small that we probably wouldn't notice that much! Great video Clint!
Two of my favorite people in the world, Emily and Clint, in one video? And with one of my favorite snakes of all time?! I'm trying so hard not to explode from happiness!
I think Red Eye Crocodile Skinks would be great in that enclosure!
False Water Cobras are awesome. They are one of the snakes I want to add to my collection. Shelby is gorgeous and your new set rocks!
Agreed!
You really liked the word *BODACIOUS* today
Shelby is such a gorgeous snake, and your new studio looks great!
It's a pretty tubular word.
Off the top of my head for the tank:
-Reticulated python
-Alligator snapper
-Weta
Or some tadpoles.
Much love to the channel - ya’ll are awesome🙇♂️🙏
And all of those are way way too large for that small tank...
Well, you fit the 3-foot carapace length snapper in that tank, and you can take the whole setup as far as I'm concerned...
Gorgeous snake! Once again you have presented both the good and bad of owning a snake in clear and easy to understand information. Well done! (off topic, but on, can you cover rosy boas someday? There is not a lot of good, clear information on them on UA-cam. They are wonderful snakes and worthy of their own little spotlight!)
YESSSS. I was just about to ask for a false water cobra video. Next request would be for you review an Asian water monitor. I know you did it in a comparison. But i think it needs it's own video since it's one of the better large monitors.
Definitely great snakes, once they calm down XD as babies at least in my experience they can be terrors. Glad you got a good one. I was actually bitten by a false water cobra and have to say my experience was much different than yours. The little bugger tagged me between the fingers and the pain the I felt for a couple of days after was quite intense. It was to the point where it hurt to spread my fingers. And as someone with giant pythons that was difficult to avoid. Glad to hear your experience was much more mild than mine was. Love the new reptile room, it looks fantastic and keep up the good work.
You are without doubt the next Sir David Attenborough. Absolutely engaging and full of passion. Brilliant
I have to say this is the video I been waiting the longest for . Always wanted a false water cobra
Your sense of humour makes the videos 😁
This set is very nice!
Thank you so much!
I don´t now why but I always get happy hearing you say "up front costs".
Patiently waiting for a Bazillion Rainbow boa video trying to decide between a Carpet or BRB
Your studio looks soo good 😍😍😍
Thank you soo much!
Clint! It would be totally rad if you could do a video on Egyptian false cobras! I’ve been trying to learn about them, and while there’s a decent amount written there aren’t many videos on them. Maybe you should do a top 5 false cobra or snakes that mimic!
I was debating on getting a Mexican black kingsnake as my first snake, then I watched your video on mbk's and I was absolutely sold. I love my baby mbk but recently I've been loving watching Shelby. I've had a bearded dragon before, but other than that and my baby kingsnake, that's all the experience I have. Maybe in a few years I'll get a false water cobra. I think this video is a sign. Nice new set too!
"It's just like... OM NOM NOM NOM!"
stay amazing, Clint ❤
I love the Cookie Monster impression!!13:20!
Oh man I’ve been waiting for this one
Definitely on my list of snakes to get eventually. I currently only have a corn snake, but I plan on getting a garter or two, a hognose, and a rainbow boa. This is definitely something I would look into after those three.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for more warm snake videos. I’m interested in the western hognose and the false water cobra. On another note, the only thing I would change about your set is the paludarium’s noise. I would lower the background noise. For the paludarium, I would put something active and colorful that viewers could see climbing around. Also a diurnal animal for the enclosure would work really well. A chameleon might get stressed by you talking to the camera and also from the filter’s sound. Good luck. (:
Hey Clint! I was wondering if you're gonna get to Reticulated Pythons any time soon. Love your stuff 😁
I love them so friggin much haha
You should put vampire crabs in your paludarium!
I’ve been waiting for this 😁😁😁
For the paludarium, maybe a couple of milk frogs?
I discovered Falsies a couple of years ago and, like you, became a bit obsessed. I found Kyle on Facebook and ordered a male Falsie (Giger). Last year I also ordered an unrelated female Falsie (also from Kyle). They're exceptionally intelligent, preternaturally aware, and hands-down the most amazing snake I have owned in over 30 years of keeping. If I could only keep one species, it would be the False Water Cobra!
I'm sure this will get lost in the static. Could you do an episode on Solomon Island Ground Boas? Awesome content! You're the best.
I would love to see a video on black headed pythons. Love your videos and love snakes!
