You guys are so RAD! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
This guy feels like the biology teacher I never had who you can tell genuinely loves his job.
This guy's probably the best biology teacher ever in world history
Wyatt Malishenko i have one, she’s a herpetology nerd and we’re close as a mentor and student should ne
My Biology teacher was a sadist.
I wish he was my teacher when I was in school.
I took one of his college classes and he's seriously one of the coolest biology teachers
My corn snake died a few weeks ago, he was a lovely snake, I had him for 20 years and he never once bit me or anyone else. I miss him a lot since he was a part of my life since I was a child. Corn snakes definitely make wonderful pets.I'm thinking of getting a Common Boa now as I really miss looking after a snake.
Jennifer M I’m sorry about that
Thanks.
Wow 20 years, the memories... Rest in Peace
looks like he lived a healthy happy life with you if he reached 20 years!
I am so sorry for your loss
"I'm one of those people who don't like being bitten by snakes." Clint, you're an absolute treasure- stay golden.
Some people actually purposely get bit by snakes to get high lol
I've had my snow corn for about a month now, she is about 5 months old. She is a little hyper but when I pick her up she calms right down. She eats her food right away, i've never had a problem getting to eat F/T, she is eating fuzzy mice right now.
I Handle her every other day, she actually looks at me when she wants me to pick her up and will keep looking at me until I do. She has never tried to strike at me at all.
I found her a lot more easy to care for then my leopard geckos.
For some reason when I tell people that I have a snake, they look at me as if im crazy then they ask me if I'm not afraid of her some how getting out of her enclosure and eating me at night. I just start laughing at them and say how would a snake that not even a foot Long and who's head is about the size of my pinkie swallow me? I'm 220 pounds.
It is funny the things people think about snakes. Good thing snakes like yours make such good ambassadors for their kind.
Same goes for my Chilean rose tarantula. People tell me that it would kill me when it escapes, lol. Someday I will have a corn snake. Then a milk snake! My dad would freak out!
How much did you pay for her?
@@jeremychong8541 It'd be pretty hard to die from a Chilean rose. What's more likely is if it got out, it could hurt itself by falling, which would be really unfortunate.
@@cwheels01 that is so true!
A few things:
They have a life expectancy of 15 years or more.
They're super smart, so be prepared for your snake to recognize you, beg for attention, and play with enrichment items.
Theyre mostly around 4 feet long, very so often you end up with a big one...my boy is about 5.5 feet, and his sisters are probably even bigger!
As a general rule, the males are going to get a good bit larger than the females as adults lol. But I have had and seen exceptions of course lol
My mom hates snakes but I absolutely love them. Never thought I’d get one. I recently lost my cat and I’ve been devastated for weeks so my mom surprised me with a corn snake (picking him up in a week). I’m very happy and your video has really helped me get ready for him.
Thank you 😊
How is the snake?
Best. Mom. Ever.
Aww, that was so kind. ❤️
How’s the snake
Awesome man congrats! Cool mom award for sure lol

I'm impressed that you can present all this info so cleanly while keeping track of two very inquisitive snakes!
I am surprised that he does not have more subscribers.
I totally agree. I'm 63 years old and have been keeping reptiles since I was 6 years old and Corn snakes to this day are one of my favorites. I've had the pleasure to own or handle many species of reptiles, including venomous and I'm always impressed by the natural beauty of a Corn snake. I will say this though, I wouldn't want to have to choose between my Okeetee Corns and my Eastern Kingsnakes.
What was the hobby like back im the 80's, of you don't mind me asking?
Clint is the Mr. Rogers of Reptiles.
Super calm, and fun. Extremely knowledgeable. Enjoys what he does. His vocabulary is great. He seems like a dude you could just hang out with! Love this channel.
I remember watching this video almost 3 years ago. I was scared of snakes but I loved the challenge. I adopted a 10 year old corn snake from my tattoo artist, as he couldn’t find the time anymore with 3 little kids in the house. She is a healthy 13 year old today, curious awesome baby. Took time to build the bond we have but now we are 1000% comfortable with each other and it’s so rewarding. She loves to take naps in my hoodie while I work and she smells like the rocks by the sea (literally my favorite smell in the world, am I the only one?) 😂. Recently her little 1 year old ball python sister joined and we are a pretty cute family I have to say 😃. Well anyways, thank you for this video, it actually changed my life 😊
Your enthusiasm just makes me happy 😂😊
Being bitten by a corn snake is like being attacked by angry velcro!
Wow this is the highest score yet! I love their colours the reds and oranges, yellows. I also love how they explore their terrarium and wherever you put them! Ha baby noodle with a head!!😂😂😂🐍🐍
If somebody likes snakes, and doesn't mind feeding frozen rodents, these noggin noodles are hard to beat :)
Clint's Reptiles lol that's true though
So basically what you’re telling me is I need a fourth snake 😂 (I have a ball python, hognose, and a Pueblan milk snake)
Exactly.
Nah mate, you need 5... Kenyan sand boas... you need one too!
Btw I did it
TylersPetCheetah She’s awesome. She’s a 7 year old creamsicle named Sherbert. She’s slightly intimidating thought because man she LOVES to eat. Every time I open her cage she assumes it’s for food and she’s already tagged me once. She held on for about two minutes and I bled like a stuck pig after she finally let go 😅 she’s not mean just excited about her food
@@toottootbleetbleet lmao, thats amazing
I got my new baby corn snake because of this video! I did a lot of research, but this gave me that final nudge. I've had him about a month now and I'm on love!! Thank you so much Clint!
Another great video. My daughter and I love watching these. Clint's enthusiasm is infectious and the information is relayed in such a clear, concise manner. Now if we can just convince mommy to let us have a Corn Snake. :)
This comment made my day! I love that you are watching our videos with your daughter! That just makes me smile. Find an opportunity for mom to interact with a corn snake. They are great ambassadors for themselves :)
Watch clints video on convincing your family
Megad00mer
I mean in all honesty. When I got my corn snake for Christmas it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Like my parents talked about it but my mom wasn’t to keen. But low and behold, 10 year old me got a brand new baby corn snake. Depending on how old your daughter is either get her a baby or an older one. Babies are much harder to take care of and my snake was only a month old or so when I got him. He’s now 5’6 feet long.
I know nobody ever sees the comments on this video anymore because it's an older video, but I just got a corn snake a few weeks ago because of this video, and I love him.
Honestly I am upset at myself for not finding your amazing channel sooner! Your voice sounds so calming and your so informative about the snake itself! New subscriber!!!
Best care channel ever! Specific, doesn't overwhelm my u with too much stuff, and is just.... Good!
Wow, couldn't love that review any more!
Thanks
Feeding my corn snake, Rose, changing her water, and she barked at me! I was like 😳 and said "woman you let me do this!" and she got quiet. LOL! Sweet girl when she's happy and has a full tummy. 🥰
I just recently lost my noodle boy and seeing your video made me remember all the wonderful times we had together. Thank you for presenting misunderstood animals like snakes in such a positive and warm way.
I used to live in Florida. I loved seeing corn snakes around because they kept the numbers of pest rodents down. They're called "rat snakes" for a reason. They're also absolutely beautiful.
Cornsnake is the best for beginner
I think you're probably right about that. If it is a good fit for them, they are just incredible!
keishapet honestly it's all about opinion I don't have a snake yet but want a ball python just because they are more calm and slow moving but I am not looking forward to the feeding strikes that might happen
id say ball python
Ashton Perez Honestly any snake can bite you, and you may hear that ball pythons don't latch on but I have one who does. I've kept her for 7 years and learned based on her movements when she might strike(almost always during feeding). But I'm not gonna lie, her bites hurt and puncture deep tissue.
Trey K. Well from what I have heard and seen I'd say ball pythons are more calm and agile not saying corns aren't I have seen some that are
My 10 year old daughter has had a corn snake since she was 8. It was our first family pet (pre-dating my son's leopard gecko and our Hungarian Vizsla). She is hands down the lowest maintenance pet imaginable. She is super chilled out, with a lovely temperament, feeds once a week, and her vivarium requires very little maintenance - removing faeces periodically, topping up the water every day or so, and then a full substrate change and clean every few months.
If your corn snake is an adult I’d switch to feeding once every other week.
Hey Clint, just leaving a comment to say that today I got my first corn snake! Thank you for your videos, they really helped to nail down the perfect pet for me!
With love from Argentina ❤
I just found this channel. I love cats and have always had them in my life, but my allergies are getting to be medically concerning and I can't snuggle a cat like I used to. I'm really glad you have so many videos with so many different reptiles, and I'm grateful that you get in depth about their nature and their needs. Thank you.
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU FRIEND!!!! There’s some companies making food that has antibodies for the fel d 1 protein so they produce much less of it! Also, several semi hypoallergenic cats already exist, they also don’t produce the fel d 1 protein.
You should get a Python! They love cats, too!
Love this! My siblings both have snakes and I didn't realize at first they were both corns, since their colours are so different! I'd definitely like to keep one one day
Just got my very first baby Corn Snake, thanks to this video! ( He’s a beautiful Tessera, named Zoot.) Thank you, Clint!!!
Absolutely love my corn snake Ramen - he loves climbing the small apple tree (when its warm) and is easily handled by pretty much anyone (though he has favorites), likes digging in bedding and peat moss planted house plant pots, and has the derpiest face that brings much joy
I love how genuinely excited you are when talking about snakes
Hi Clint, I decided a couple of months ago to get a reptile (kinda strange for a middle aged woman, but what the h). I’m in no hurry (looking at next year’s laying season) and have been checking your videos, as well as Emily’s (loved your collab eating cricket tacos), Dav’s, Brian’s, etc. I’m now looking at corn snakes, and am probably gonna go with those because they seem to be the easiest snake to care for. Thanks for this video. Like your other videos it is packed with info, and easy to understand. I’ve just ordered a book called “Genetics for Herpers”. I’m having trouble understanding morphs, etc. and they intrigue me, and this book looks like it will help me a lot. I think I did say yesterday on one of your videos that I would like more info on genetics. Again, thank you so much Clint. Your knowledge is very appreciated. Pat
Great decision! Have you watched our series on genetics?
This Came out just as I was trying to convince my mum to let me get a corn snake for my birthday
Coincidence?? I think not!
My birthday is in two months and I want to ask for one
Your calming voice and great information makes this the best reptile channel for me
Ahh so cute!! My first snake was a corn and I have never looked back... and now want more and more :3 Really well done video!
Thank you so much! They are so wonderful :)
Me too, I have a video with some of the most beautiful corn snake morphs, the are the best.............
Your enthusiasm and cool, fearless attitude is inspiring to watch.
I agree! I've had the same two corn snakes since I was 17 and I'm 28. I have never had an issue what so ever.
They're amazing!
solid videos dude!
Thank you so much!

I absolutely love these videos! I just found out about this channel 2 days ago and I already love your videos! They are so helpful and just entertaining to watch sometimes
Thank you so much! So glad you found us :)
snakes are amazing, their way that they move and eat, and how they smell with their tongue... and how cool their colors are... just amazing
I totally agree!
I really love your videos. You give great information and they’re always fun to watch because you’re so enthusiastic and excited about your subject. Keep making great videos, Clint. :)
I can’t help but like each video. This is a fantastic channel, I must say.
I've had my crested gecko for just over 2 years now, and I am only 12, her name is Yoshi and she is a very friendly yellow blob, she absolutely loves to be handled and is very sociable, aswell as her very good diet and shows no signs of dropping her tail! 😂 it's videos like these that convince parents you can get a friend for life at your own pace and I wanted to thank you for that! Even though we are all vegan, love animals, literally have million animals and my parents loved the idea of me getting a crestie, I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone else!
2_sweet_potatoes this is a really lovely comment! Also, I love that her name is Yoshi 😊
@@katelillo1932 Funny thing is, I have a musk turtle called Bowser.
You're a smart kid but I hope you've grown out of the vegan thing by now. It's not healthy. Would you allow your snake to be vegan?
@@joeh858 Well, this kid outclassed you big time here. Shame on you for talking down to a kid like that instead of encouraging them to learn about the world and be their authentic selves. I'm not even a vegan, but I appreciate the vegans in my life and honor the intentionality that they show toward things that I don't put much thought into.
I just bought a corn snake last week and I've absolutely fallen in love with it.
Thanks for your videos Clint they're really helpful.
I've subscribed, good luck with your channel!
All the best from England.
Thank you so much! I am so glad we were helpful, and I'm thrilled that you are enjoying your snake. They just make the world a better place! England seems much closer than it once did :)
How much did it cost?
I own two corn snakes. I absolutely love them and they are my first Snakes. But I have to admit, I’ve watched this video about eight times because I just enjoy listening to Clint talk about them.
This video help me decide if I wanted to get a corn snake, and ended up being the reason I got my corn snake! I love my snake and am very happy. Thank you so much for the great well made and well thought out videos. Much love from south africa!
He wears a G-shock , god was in a good mood when he designed Clint
I'm not able to get a reptile right now, and I don't think I ever will be able to, but just in case I have that opportunity this video was really helpful in helping me decide what my first snake would be, if any. My fourth grade teacher had a corn snake named Medusa so I've always had an appreciation for corn snakes! Not to mention the rest of her classroom pets, all named after Greek mythology. But yeah this is a really cool video and I hope I can get a corn snake or maybe a milk snake one day!
I love the close up shots. Great video Clint!
Me too! We have the best camerawoman in the world!
Thank you. I'm sure of all the rules and the personality of my corn snake but watching you handle your corn snakes has gained me some confidence and listening to you has reinforced my knowledge. Your a great keeper of snakes. Thank you !
I have a corn and have two notes:
1. Handability: My corn has never bit me but has struck at my face multiple times. He has never tried to bite my hand or other parts of my body except for my face. For some reason, he will always strike out if my face gets too close. I was a bit concerned for you in the video after seeing how my snake behaves.
2. Survivability: My snake got loose once during feeding and was gone for a week and a half without food and water. I thought he was a goner without water, but sure enough, we found him and he was fine. They are probably the must survivable pet animal alive.
Philly1224 strange, my corn doesn’t strike at my face. She defensively bit me once but is usually quite docile. Most corns are pretty tame, I think you just got unlucky
I have always wanted to have a pet corn snake! Easy to take care of, really pleasant to handle, and of course, they are really colorful. Even handled wild Cornies before on trips out. Some of the nicest reptiles you'll ever meet.
This guy is great! I love how enthusiastic he is about snakes! Thanks for the info, I can't wait to get a corn snake
I love your excitement twords the snake it's so cute to watch him getting all worked up about a cute snake!
Memeulous has blessed your channel.
I would like to give a shout-out to my corn snake who goes on a 1 - 3 month hunger strike every spring.
I’m about to get a corn snake and was so glad to see you made a video about them! You’re my favorite reptile guy on UA-cam 😃
Same! I’m getting a corn snake Ik probably the next week. Do you know where you are getting yours? Can’t find any local breeders. Kind of hoping your getting yours online. Any ideas where to buy one?
I think that the corn snake is my favorite one, I love the orange and white color and I absolutely adore the red eyes!
Cornsnakes are my top snake for beginners aswell. Theres endless morphs ,patterns and colors and all affordable. Great video Clint
great vid clint 👍 keep up the good work
Thank you! We will do our best :)
I have two corn snakes and they are absolutely lovely. Jörmungandr, my three year old male, was given to me by a friend of my stepmother who used to be a breeder but decided to quit. She had Jörmi as a "leftover" male. My other corn snake, Ouroboros, is either six or seven years old, perhaps even older. No one can really tell. I got him from the local shelter who have had him for five years. Apparently they had found him in the garden of an old lady when he was small (in size, after all you can not really tell the age of a snake by just looking at it) so he had either been abandoned or managed to escape.
I am a beginner and they are not just my first reptiles but my first pets in general. I love them to bits. I spent so much time making sure everything was right and now that I have had them for over a year I can not imagine living without them. They have a 150cm x 80cm x 80cm terrarium each (so two terrariums in total) and take up a lot of space in my room. They are the reason I had to get a small wardrobe, but I don't have much stuff anyway.
Corn snakes are just wonderful pets.
Nice informative video. You did a good job with this and have a knack for presenting! Excellent style and quality.
In Camp Miakonda, there was a nature biologist who had birds, a bunny, mealworms, a cornsnake, and maybe more. Anyway, the cornsnake was kept in what looked like a 20 gallon terrarium. And, he was perfectly fine. He didn't look stressed, and loved interaction.. well, enjoyed it. I was one of the lucky ones who got to hold Cornelius (corny for short). And, he felt like gummy bears lol.
Cornelius! That has to be the best name for a corn snake ever!
We have 3 corns in our house, and I LOVE them, the only "bad" thing is like you said when handling they never stop exploring. Which is why now I wanna get a Boa or maybe a BLUE EYE LUCY. That way I can chill and play Xbox or D&D or watch TV with it just chilling
Thank you for the info. We are researching now and have 100% settled on getting a corn snake as our first snake. We are gonna do an amazing home and splurge on that part for sure. Cause we want them to have space and be happy. Thank you so much for the info! We appreciate it!
I really want a corn snake, as they're probably among the most beautiful snakes (together with tricolour king snakes) common in the hobby.
I love this channel! Keep it up it's great
Thank you so much! We will!
Just got a corn snake 🐍 today and he’s amazing
"baby noodle with a head" is the best descriptor of a snake I've ever heard
Clint would absolutely love my corn snake Baron. He's the calmest, sweetest, most tolerant animal I've ever met. I've had him since August 27, 2011.
I've been wanting a ball python for months now, but with the ratings of corn snakes versus ball pythons I can say that I'm very torn between the two. The reason I want the ball python is because I've heard they're very docile and friendly, they come in a lot of different morphs and I've read someone even calling them "the Labradors of the snake world" in their book. But with a corn snake, it seems like they're in less need of maintenance when it comes to heat. I'm only worried about the winter months here in Ohio and keeping a python that requires a 78-90 degree heat range constantly.
Clint, because of this video I ended up getting a corn snake (my first pet reptile!).
I was debating between a gargoyle gecko and corn snake, but ultimately went with a corn snake because I was worried about keeping the humidity OK for a gargoyle gecko and misting twice a day.
I just brought my new snake home last week, he's a bright reddish orange and his name is Mars :D. He's just a baby now and sitting in a nice 20-gallon tank, but when he grows I'm going to graduate him to a 40-gallon tank. Thanks for your helpful videos!
Nice! Keep in mind that he’ll need a 75 gallon or larger eventually. The enclosure must be at least as long as the snake, with a good amount of width and climbing height.
@@nightinggale6470 I won't say that your opinion that an adult corn snake requires a 75 gallon is "wrong," but it should be noted that nearly all keepers and the general consensus in the hobby is that a 40 gallon enclosure is perfectly fine for an adult corn snake.
@@dingdongism years ago? Sure. Currently? Absolutely not. An adult corn can survive in a 40 gallon, but they cannot thrive. A snake should be able to fully stretch out in their enclosure, at a minimum. Corns get 4-5’ on average and are very active snakes, they will use every inch of space provided for them. Care standards change and improve over time. 40 gallons used to be considered an acceptable minimum for corns but that is now outdated. A 4x2x2’ enclosure (or 120 gallons) is a better minimum for corns. I have my girl in a 4.5x2x2’ and couldn’t imagine keeping her in something smaller.
@@nightinggale6470 I stand corrected. The more I learn about corn husbandry, the more I realize a lot of the “standards” of care I learned from are outdated.
I am studying English words related to reptiles based on your video subtitles. Very helpful. Thanks!
Clint I love your videos me and my kids watch your videos all the time keep up the good work buddy
Best quotes of all time. “Pudgy cornsnake”. And my personal favorite. “The world is a scary place for a noodle with a head”.
Cute danger noodle.
Adorable nope-rope
Nah these are hug noodles.
It appears you’ve misidentified this species of snake, the proper nomenclature is actually “boop noodle” 😂
Snek
Your videos are one of few sources of serotonin for me. Thank you. 🥺
My lil corn is 6 months old, we got him at 2, never ever tried to bite, never missed a meal :]
Hes so friendly too, never displayed any defensive Behavior either!! Sweetest baby snake I've ever met, he's got such a good personality. He is, however, the biggest escape artist ever! I had to make so many enclosure modifications for the little dude and he's not even a yearling yet. Only time he missed a meal was when we had a petkeeper for our holiday, and she put the mouse in his enclosure, and I dont think he noticed it until it was already gross. Thankfully he didn't eat it, though! And I fed him immediately after
He's on frozen thawed pinkies, by the way! Doesn't need anything bigger yet :]
Clint, you done sold me on it: I'm gonna get a corn snake as my first snake. I fully intend to get some others in the future (including a BCI once the kids are teens) but that 4.8 is just so hard to argue with. Love you man, thanks for putting in all these hours of work.
Hey, any news here? :)
How is it! I am thinking about getting one myself after my pet rats as I heard I might have trouble with their smell on my hands. I do not want it to think I am food or be confused all the time.
@@lara66able I’ve had my snake about a year and a half and he’s by far the most rewarding pet relative to the amount of effort I’ve had so far. He’s super docile and enjoyable to interact with. I rate the experience of having a corn snake a 5/5!
the snake is really beautiful. Look at the irridescence of the scales on its belly at 6:13
This video helped me out so much thank you for helping the community 👍
I already wanted a corn snake but after watching this i really want one
2 days ago me vistidet corn snake ;) (pardon language, im from norway ;) not good in english in writing ;) Maby i will have one
Clint i have a question.... when you said you only need to feed them once a week is that the same with a blue tongue skink?
Good question. That advice really only applies to rodent-eating snakes, and even then it varies somewhat by species. I would recommend feeding a blue tongue more often, perhaps three times a week.
You are adorable! I wanted to know more about the corn snake and this went above and beyond. Thank you!
I love my two corns! Absolutely agree - they are a delight as pets!
not a bad thing but i think im about to become a reptile addict, as always an awesome video clint
That is the risk. I have no recommendations, because I have no idea how to recover (or why you would want to).
Thank you for the awesome feedback!
may i ask you a tip about how to do a bearded dragon to eat veggies?
In my experience you just need to find what they like. Most will go for baby spring mix. I also have good luck with mustard greens. They seem to eat less if you offer the same thing all the time. Variety is the key.
again love your enthusiasm. I"ve got an striped butter myself. gorgeous littly lady.
Thank you! Sounds like a pretty snake!
Thank you 🙂 for the video, it's great people like yourself make these to share knowledge and experience with the 🌎
my daughter wanted a snake so we bought a baby corn. He is a sweetheart, never tried to bite anyone. took a couple months but I trained him to climb into my hand by using his desire to explore and get out. Any time he's out exploring I offer to let him out by opening the enclosure and putting my hand near him. if he wants out he climbs aboard and away we go. Snakes are pretty smart.
The first snake I ever got to handle was a cornsnake, and I was 10 about that time. I think a cornsnake or milksnake would probably be my go to snakes if I ever were to get a snakes. Thanks for this!!
Btw, how many reptiles do you have? Are all the reptiles you feature your own?
You're very welcome! The majority of the animals we have featured so far are mine. I'll have to count how many we have :)
Ball pythons are also good
first i handled was a bermese python XD
The first snake I ever handled was a massive albino boa. She was an ambassador and surprisingly heavy on the shoulders!
My first snake I got to handle was a ball python. At my elementary school's Halloween festival, I got to hold a 5 foot snake, my dad days it was a kind of python, I don't have a doubt in my mind that it was a ball python. Soon afterwards, I got to hold a snake at a pet store, of which I am not sure what kind it was. I only really started to get into snakes after I handled my cousin's Florida King Snake on numerous occasions.
Yes, but they are escape artist, I had mine escape every day 6am
Put something heavy on the tank
I had my noodle escape once. He came back about 6 months later.
Jessica Abbott are you sure it was the same one? 😂😂
Thnx Clint for this, I’m hoping to get a snake in the future. Either in a couple months, or when I move out, lol. I’m trying to learn more about them, so when I do get one, I’ll be prepared. I’m going to a reptile show in 2 weeks, I’m so excited 😆.
I have a few month old albino corn snake and it’s quite easy to handle. Very slow moving and relaxed. I often just lie on the couch and let it go through my fingers and “lick” my arm for half an hour.
Much better than my milk snake which craps all over me when I handle it.
I am a corn snake I eat anything 🤣
Your typing is fantastic for an animal with no fingers :)
Clint's Reptiles Tee He😂 🌽🐍
Now you're just showing off...
