Green Anaconda, The Best Pet Snake?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- The green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is the most massive snake on Earth. Reaching lengths of nearly 20 feet and weighing hundreds of pounds with the ability to overpower and swallow jaguar, crocodilians, and possibly even people, it stands to reason that it would make a great pet. But is this giant, semi-aquatic boa actually a good pet? And is the green anaconda the best pet snake for you?

I cannot stop grinning. The sheer enthusiasm with which Clint speaks is SO infectious. It’s clear how much he loves what he does, and it’s contagious enough to get me excited even over animals I consider plain and uninteresting. Love this channel! 😁
What the frick is plain about a snake that gets up to 30 feet
Reptiles are very interesting and have very neat scientific components not visible in other species.. idk what is uninteresting about them..
This man has balls of steel
Absolutely agree
This man has a passion for his job that we should all dream of having some day.
“...if that snake is an adult green anaconda and you are alone, you are probably going to die! :DDDD”
exactly the comment i was looking for :D
He says smiling and full of excited energy. Lol!
i laughed so hard hearing this, he isnt even wrong its just the way he says it is so funny XD
I always considered him the Mr. Rogers of reptiles, so when I heard him say this, I lost it.
@Luis Adrian Ramos Nah he said if it bites and coils you before hand. Tbf there’s no probably , you will die, those things could suffocate a caiman or deer and won’t stop squeezing until they feel no breath. Imagine wrapping your hand around an caiman and trying to choke it.
"Is the green anaconda the best pet snake?"
No. No it is not.
I'm never keeping a green anaconda but goddamn I LOVE green anacondas.
But is the green anaconda the most pet snake?
@@ankureros6272 If I were wealthy and could dedicate the space to one, I would probably keep an anaconda. As it stands, that is not gonna happen.
@@zweischneid793 one of the most common pet snake is the ball python, (kinda) similar to anacondas but WAY smaller
If ya want a giant snake, get a burmese python
I truly deeply love that Clint knows the comedic potential that comes from him saying horrible things in a youth pastor's voice.
Ahahaha I never realized how youth pastor his speech pattern is 🤣
I love the outtakea. Shows his quick wit and what kind of friends everyone is too... I first noticed during one of the episodes he mentions having had his family dog attack and having to have reconstructive surgery. One of the guys asks about the surgery and then goes "And that's the best they could do?" and Clint just fires back with "I know, I told them to put it back the way it was, cause y'know, I was 2" and LAUGHS
Haha. He does look like a youth pastor.
Well, he is in Utah, I assumed he was a Mormon
Man, Clint explaining all the ways things can go horribly wrong with a big grin on his face while he is slowly being completely entangled by a huge snake is a real 2020 Mood
Dear Santa, I hope that one day Clint will tell me if Komodo Dragon is the best pet reptile for me ..... one day.
Me too!
Or saltwater crocodile
Yeah maybe have Matt Wright bring one of his rescue crocs over there.
Yes
@@pigzard01 not gonna lie a rescue crocodile sounds like asking for something to go wrong.
At this point I'm expecting a "Nile crocodile, are you the best snack for it?"
"Is a cassowary the right pet dinosaur for you?"

@@captainsuperfreak1607 LOL The best part is, I 100% believe Clint could pull off playing with a Gizmo doll like it was a real creature. Now I want this so so much. It'd be a perfect April Fools video, if nothing else.
Waiting for, ‘Is the Komodo Dragon the best at injecting with you with venom?’
clint: ‘this snake can kill you pretty easily’
also clint: *puts snake around neck while grinning*
"If you are coiled by an adult Green Anaconda and you're alone, your probably going to die!!!" Thank you Clint 😂😂😂 your enthusiasm of the Green Anaconda's danger while holding it was amazing.
Keep educating us with your blunt but encyclopedic wealth of reptile knowledge.
👍👍👍👍
That was hilarious
🤣🤣🤣
clints face always lights up when he talks about death and serious injury hahaha he def has a dark side to him
@@andyhsong lol I know. With the big smile he had on his face I half expected him to add "and that's just wonderful" lol

On the bright side, this snake doubles as a complete set of exercise equipment.
Your comment made me genuinely laugh out loud, thank you for that
if you're really weak maybe
sure it might actively try to kill you, instead of you accidentally hurting yourself with dumbbells or something...
*but there's truly no better weight lift*
@@darkhumour741 the fight for your survival is all part of the exercising experience
@@jeremykingsley6669 while its risky, that makes some sense lol. You're less likely to be lazy and give up half way through your lifts when your life is actually on the line lol

Hi, insurance agent here. Flood insurance only covers natural ground water from the outside in. It doesn't cover your anaconda pond ruining your home.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
I love how less scrupulous creators talk about how they bought a lambo with their patreon money and Clint is like.. "We bought new legs for our table, thank you!". Got to love this guy.

Finally! A snake for me
i do have an alligator problem, maybe i’ll get an anaconda to take care of that!
As someone who presently owns two green anacondas, I'm surprised you didn't mention the males' size. They get to be closer to large female boa size in most cases, and are a much more manageable pet size if someone is dead set on an anaconda. Still very powerful, and let me tell you first hand, you will be changing their water every single day if it's not heavily filtered. They pee or poop in it on an almost daily basis and otherwise generally get it gross with dirt they track in it.
Also, I have seen how fast and how far they can snap across an enclosure. Be vigilant. Always. And over 10 ft have a team.
Are the Anacondas well?
@@pouyanchakameh8594 Yes. Both are thriving and growing steadily.
@@Kyonarai that's awesome bro
@@Kyonarai how agressive are they usually? are they particularly "bitey" or are they more docile and relaxed....i imagine a snake that big must have at least some prey drive towards a person (not that i believe the man-eater myths with large snakes).
@@dakotastein9499 Mine are very docile. Uninterested in people as a prey item. A lot of them start out life being picky eaters, and my girl is no exception. She would only eat poultry or fish for the first two years I had her. Finally got her onto rats. Working on convincing her to accept small rabbits before she is big enough to NEED them, but she isn't a fan.
I do believe they get less picky with age, but I feel like one raised in captivity would have to be really hungry to look at a person as food.
The snake's face is so adorable and i love the little leopard spots. 10/10 would pet
This blows my mind. I always knew Anacondas were massive, but this is only HALFWAY THERE.
0/10 pet. 100/10 radness
Might be under half way in length, but not even close to half way in weight. They can reach 30ft+ and over 500 lbs.
Oh, and also...don’t let the snake kill you while you’re doing this... 🤣👍 Fantastic video!
Important 👆
@@ClintsReptiles indeed very valuable information, any good pet owner should know
xd
"I just wanna explore! Let me go on an adventure!"
I actually once met a rescued Green Anaconda at a Professional Herp Group. The poor thing had scars because the previous owner would just throw live rats into the enclosure and leave, resulting in the rats biting the snake.
Super super chill, very lovely to pet.
Poor rats and snake.
I love how giant snakes always have cute little old man faces.
I love how the impractical pets are given just as much detail and consideration as the easiest pets. no name calling or insulting someone for thinking about it, just straight up "here's what it takes"
What’s so impractical about a green anaconda?
@@iHateYourFace179 its big and needs an aquarium
@@iHateYourFace179 for many reasons
1. It needs tons of food, it eats entire capybaras in the wild
2. Its legit giant. Good luck affording a giant tank like that, let alone even FINDING one
3. Money. Everything above this will cost tons of money, which includes buying the snake itself
And many more reasons im not gonna list here
@@jaguarlegoanimations9826 lmao. I used to have 2 of them. Yea. It costs a lot of money. But it’s not impossible. And you can find large prey item foods. Haven’t gotten there with them, but I had up to goats lined up. And they don’t eat that often. Once every 6-8 weeks or longer. Find the right ways and your spending yearly what it costs to feed one medium sized dog.
@@iHateYourFace179 I didn’t say it was impossible, I just said that for most people it might be quite expensive. It’s probably cool to have one, but also for most people expensive
Just how exhausting was it to film this video? She seemed to be quite the curious little monster sized snake.
Eyyyy Unus Annus profile picture
I'm tired after watching how Clint tries to keep her on the table. I'll now go and hug my perfect size, baby hognose
Looks like fun imo
Towards the end I’m pretty sure he was sweating like crazy! Lol
“You are probably going to die” with that smile is probably one of the best moments of this video 😂😂 This is honestly a really beautiful animal (as are all) but I loved the info you provided, all snakes are just noodles with teeth that need love....although sometimes they can be violent noodles lol
I've never heard someone say "you are probably going to die" with such enthusiasm
Is it the best pet, answer no but is it one of coolest? HECK YEAH!

@@yehiahuzayyin7972 You can survive a cobra bite if you keep antivenom (which you should if you own hots), but there is probably a much smaller chance of survival if a 20-30ft Anaconda grabs you...
“What you can’t do is ignore those poopies”
Best phrase I’ve ever heard in my whole life
I love how much you can hear the excitement in his voice just the audible "I'm playing with a Green Anaconda" and that childlike joy. but you can also hear the "Oh god i'm playing with a snake that could very easily cause my death". and I like that. He loves and appreciates the animal, but treats it with the respect that it so obviously deserves
4:04 he says it with a smile, and with such joy in his voice
I’ve seen a lot of anacondas at zoos and I have to say this is easily the most well behaved one I’ve seen interacting with people. Every time a keeper would attempt to interact with the ones I’ve seen it would instantly become defensive and try to get away. They were obviously not well socialized at all and I actually felt bad they had to tolerate the forced interactions with those keepers for each show. Seeing people keeping these fabulously beautiful animals properly and socializing them responsibly really is refreshing. That said, I have to wonder about the sanity of anyone who wants an anaconda as a “pet.” A “pet” implies something you can interact with a lot with relative safety and isn’t going to give you a “hug” like these things can lol That’s like having a “pet” Nile crocodile or shark. I mean, just out of respect to an animal that is actually deified by civilizations, I could never use the term “pet” to describe them. Hell, I don’t even call my cat a “pet.” He’s a furry overlord who has the ego of Caesar 😂 super amounts of respect for the people out there that can care for these animals the way they need and have the capabilities to do these educational videos.
It makes me immensely happy to see Clint try and handle an anaconda, and it should make you happy as well.
Even if she's just half grown, somehow...
It makes me immensely happy to see how thrilled Clint was to be handling a half-grown Anaconda!
She's absolutely lovely, too. And extremely good natured.
Good thing the snake is only half grown. I can imagine trying to handle 150lbs of anaconda.
This is probably the first time I thought that a snake was actually... Cute?! Oh my heck, was is this channel doing or me. 🤣
Hello magic man with magic critters
"Get a muffler... Hippie."
This episode was pure gold.
Firstly Clint is the man. Secondly the fearlessness of the green anaconda with little to no predators can easily lull one into a false sense of security. They seem so docile and harmless.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the fact that although this man's delivery is light hearted and easy, it's also very up front and direct? Like he's not gonna sweet talk you on the care and requirements of these animals. He's going to tell you what you're gonna be up against and if you aren't prepared for it then shouldn't get it. Not out of malice but care for the animal and ensuring the person isn't misinformed and goes out of their way just to have ruin.
"This is delightful aslong as I don't die." :DD Love how the snake is constantly trying to wander off.
I love how he’s being his normal, fun, happy, educational self while struggling to hold a super heavy, super strong, and super active giant snake. That’s one way to get your daily exercise in!
The Vancouver Aquarium had a green anaconda for a very long time. It was enormous, and you could usually only see part of the snake at any one time. There was a giant aquarium section with lots of amazonian fishes (and usually a coil or two of anaconda). These included an enormous school, like thousands, of neon or cardinal tetras, and they were amazing to watch. You don't normally get to see small aquarium fishes in those kinds of numbers, and there's emergent properties you just don't see with 6 in a ten gallon aquarium. A really, really cool exhibit.
They still have an Anaconda! I think it got separated into its own enclosure probably so the keepers had an easier time feeding and caring for it, but yeah, last time I was there, less than a year ago, it was still there, and yes, you only end up seeing about a third of it at a time
@@RainAngel111 That's lovely to hear. I grew up looking at that snake. It must be really old by now.
@@lizziesmusicmaking Apparently Green Anaconda have been known to live up to late 20s in captivity! But the sad thing about a snake this hard to manage but this easy to find, is they often need rescuing. It's possible the zoo's old anaconda has passed away, but they gave a new one a good home so a new generation of kids could grow to love them.
“if the snake that coils you and it’s a green anaconda .. you are probly going to die” WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE AND ENTHUSIASM
I would never want one because I know my limitations, but that is a GORGEOUS animal.
They have such cool faces. Just a bit better looking than Burmese pythons.
the pattern is beautiful
@swiggity swooty but the availability of of young pigs on a monthly basis is a limit so F. And they do really benefit from a proper aquatic space not just a still water tub. They are just so much effort
I love snakes
I need them I would die if someone killed it
"This is delightful, as long as I don't die!"
XD I am DEAD!
Little known fact about anacondas; they're also semi arboreal, meaning they climb and spend time in trees. More so for younger snakes and adult males; but akl anacondas love finding a nice tree overhanging the water and using it as a perch. Theyre fantastic climbers.
Very interesting didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
I like how the snake is while he's just holding it
He treats it like a cat or a small child and its adorable
As someone who's more versed in aquatics...my first thoughts on actually keeping a snake like this is just wow...you could get a degree for the cost of a green's enclosure.
A sealed floor with a well-secured sump or floor drain to prevent water damage will be almost necessary. You're going to want a sizable drilled acrylic tank (pond, really) with all external components for making filtration possible without the snake interfering. Costly, but it's strong, durable and light - it can (and likely will) scratch, but its unlikely to shatter under duress from a large animal. At ~8lbs per gallon (not counting the weight of the tank itself or deco) the sheer weight of the pond will require you to reinforce your home's load-bearing capability or put it on a poured pad. For filtration, do the math for an overstocked tank of the volume you're looking to make. Pond components are likely to be more cost effective depending on the math, especially for heaters. Large water surface area combined with heat and ventilation will keep down on active misting or humidity control that might need to be done, but will present its own problems like mold and evaporation if not carefully regulated. Make something equivalent to a show/breeder tank with little or no deco to provide maximum circulation with IT/OT on either end of the tank. You may even want to throw in a power head(s) facing the OT to not only simulate current they would experience in a river biotope, but to assist the filtration. Some filtration systems like canisters can be configured to drain a tank hands-free, putting the OT at the lowest point in the tank would allow you to nearly completely drain it for maintenance. A segregated enclosure may be the best option to ensure that both the snake and you are undisturbed during maintenance, even with a spotter, which gives additional design considerations.
TL;DR - At some point you have to realize that this is no longer a pet and something better left to professionals or the truly, truly dedicated. This is like the reptile equivalent of a Red-Tail Catfish...just no, lol
I love that little “Ha I lived” in the bloopers
I came searching for this. That was such a great moment
I feel like she’s having as much fun being held as you are holding her! Love the honesty and clarity of your videos !
She did seem to be having fun!
In addition to being as impressively large as a snake can possibly be, green anacondas also have one of the most beautiful color patterns; I absolutely love the green gradient and soft spots
If an anaconda doesn't ABSOLUTELY need water to swim in, then you doesn't ABSOLUTELY need an anaconda.
you doesn’t
I see you're a part of the cancerous part of the reptile trade
@@FatesxofxthexDead no he just vouches good reptile keeping conditions
@@logantinney368 no, this is like the argument of using newspaper as a substrate. Do you, so long as you literally aren't neglecting, stressing, or abusing your animal and they're in perfect health + thriving, it doesn't really matter. Now if the advice given was something like "keep your anaconda in a dry, arid environment" or something like that, then yeah I would agree
@Equinox You seem to be lacking in reading comprehension. The guy said if you DON'T think an anaconda needs enough water to submerge then you DON'T need to be caring for an anaconda
The way he says “u are probably gonna die” in such calm way😅

I love this guy but I can't help but feel threatened when he says "you are probably going to die" with the biggest smile on his face.
I always love how he gives his final recommendations with impractically large and potentially deadly animals. "If what you want is [perfectly describes the animal he's been discussing], get [a similar, but smaller and less dangerous option]. 😃 "
It's just really wonderful how he both strongly discourages stupid decisions without ever making the animal seem like a monster. Clint's love and respect for these creatures is infectious, and he's really starting to remind me of Steve Irwin, which I do not say lightly.
Wow, I thought this was an old episode that I missed somehow but it is in fact a new one, and I never was so early to a new episode and I am happy that it is the one on the biggest spaghetti

That is probably the most docile/least feisty anacondas in captivity that I have ever seen!! The scales and tales people in Utah must have done a fantastic job handling her as a baby! Thank you for the amazingly informative video as always!!
I knew coming into this video that a green anaconda wasn't going to be the best pet snake for me. Honestly, any snake probably isn't the best pet snake for me, not big on feeding rodents. But hearing my man Clint so excited about them just makes me happy and gives me a big dumb grin that I can't get rid of.
I love your videos, y'all do great work and I can't wait to see more of it. Sending much love and good vibes in these hard times.
Oh my god I was gonna post a comment requesting a green anaconda video in a jest just two days ago. He did! He actually did it! The absolute mad man! 😱
Hes a crazy bloke!!
The pattern on the scales looks like it was painted on by an artist, such a beautiful animal!
Scales and tails is where I got my friendliest snake last year!! They must handle their snakes a lot because he is the most chill snake ever I swear!
A friend showed my you're channel yesterday and it's beautiful to see the pure joy on your face while handling all these amazing animals. You're really fun to watch and super informative
Imagine having a snake like this and not naming it Quetazlcoatl or Jörmundgander, such a gorgeous specimen.
Or you could go with Tiny.

We had scales and tales do a private party for my sons birthday. It was awesome! Kept blowing my mind every time they pulled out a new animal!
When you proposed the question "is this the best pet for you?" I uncontrollably laughed out loud for like 5 seconds
Sad to see so many businesses struggling. Hope scales and tails make it through. If I was local I would go; you wouldn't just be helping the animals, but the families that rely on that business for income too.

get a BCI. if someone ask you "Is that an Anaconda" just say "It's one of their family".
Anacondas are Boas. and Boas are... well Boas.
I love how he just calmly sits there *WHILE THE ANACONDA IS LITERALLY ENCIRCLING HIS TORSO!*
She was just giving him a hug which is hard when you don’t have any arms 👌🏻
She’s just curious lol
I LOVE how hes smiling the whole video, and it seem genuine! Hes obviously having a great time just handling it!
Clint: joyfully holding a giant anaconda
Also Clint: genuinely terrified by a green iguana
Anacondas are rather chill animals, green iguanas choose "violence" every chance they get (violence is in quotation marks because no animal is violent)
I think my 4 foot long male ball python is heavy and had trouble getting him off my arm when he constricted it. I cant imagine handling, let alone wrestling, an anaconda.
i imagine being constricted by an anaconda is about the same as being crushed by a two ton rock very slowly, you could hardly call that wrestling
I had trouble with my teeny ass kenyan sand boa getting her off my finger
Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/CLINT
Rofl that ROUS's reference to Princess Bride! I have questions. Are scales and tails of Utah affiliated with scales and tails of Ohio? because I see them on morphmarket all the time and they have good prices but I don't know if it's the same entity or someone scamming under a reputable name. Also how much different is a yellow anaconda
Another great educational and entertaining video
Clint creeps me out.. He gives me Jeffrey Dahmer vibes 😨. Like he is super nice until he gets you in private snd drill holes in ys brain while smiling and laughing historically.
Clint could you do a video on horned frogs aka pacman frogs please! They are stinking rad!
Clint is so unhinged in this video lol
Dude... This is the first video I've seen from this channel and I absolutely love this guy. His energy is so insanely contagious. About to go see of they have a video on Brazilian Rainbow Boas 😬
My first reaction was "That's a BIG freaking noodle."
And it's still a baby!
I love how you make videos about animals where the answer to the question: "Is this the right pet for you?" is a resounding no it is not. I just finished talking about to my class about how Burmese pythons are reeking havoc on the Everglades because pet owners let them escape into the wild.
It actually wasn’t pet owners that caused the majority of the invasive burm population. Hurricane Andrew destroyed a breeding facility back in like ‘92 that released a significant number of snakes into the Everglades. Certainly there have been a few pets dumped there, but the breeding facility caused most of that problem.
@@katelillo1932 Hurricane Andrew has also been implicated in releasing invasive lionfish into the Caribbean. In the case of the lionfish it has been very tricky to find the actual point of introduction. Do you know if there have been any genetic studies tracing the pythons back to that one breeding facility?
@@katelillo1932 This paper seems to think it happened before 1985 link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10530-010-9908-3 But, my gut is saying we are probably both right and there were multiple introductions.
Thats a great question, I have no idea if a study like that has been conducted. I’d never heard of the lion fish thing, that’s crazy!

Ever since i learned about these amazing snakes, I've been fascinated with them. What intrigued me the most is their unique abilities to chill & move around underwater like a Hippo. No other snake behaves and utilizes water habitats like they do.. it's just amazing to witness them in their natural habitat, they have such unique behavior. I love them!
I would love to just... Watch this snake. For hours. The way she moves is just. Mesmerizing
My gut tells me no. But my wallet tells me, HELL NO... my heart tells me it’s cutie, not for me, but I can appreciate it from a distance. I hope my Zoo reopens soon. I miss the animals there
The burst of pure joyful laughter in the middle of this video warmed my heart so much. I love that clint loves these animals so much, it is precisely why he is my favorite youtuber and the one I recommend to absolutely everyone who is interested in getting a reptile
And even those who aren't!
This is the only channel I know where the sentence "If the snake that coils you happens to be an adult green anaconda, and you are alone, you are probably going to *die."* is said with a huge smile.
Awesome video, Clint! Your energy and enthusiasm still burns a bright light in these dark times. Happy to see you happy!
Just a thought- you should consider taking your content to the app Tik Tok. I think you’d gather a great following from making educational reptile content.
I died when Clint said "rodents of unusual size." Most people think of the "rat" from that one movie but I think of capybara.
Me too ,where do you find capybara in the Midwest?
Thats what the snakes eat in brazil.

Hi Clint, been binging your enthralling enthusiasm since the holy algorithm led me here a few weeks ago, you're a cool guy enough that someone uninterested in owning animals like me is eating your content up like it's pistachio ice cream.
Have a nice day.
I am fully convinced that Clint is just Hagrid after a haircut and a beard trim
don't you just love how they have a head that is barely a tiny bit wider than the neck, just due to it being such a thick and muscular snake.
This channel has brought me so much joy I just recently found it and I love every minute of it you are just awesome Clint
Her scales are absolutely gorgeous!! Wonderful video.
0:18 actually there are four species of anaconda, there's also the dark spotted and the bolivian anaconda, but they are not in the pet trade.
Ninguém se importa com a Bolívia 😎👊
I was just about to comment this
That's exactly what I thought, thanks
Clint! Please do Titanoboa next!
I actually think doing an extinct reptiles version of clints reptiles would be really fun.
Ngl a 42ft snake sounds like the perfect pet, I see nothing which can go wrong there
I've honestly been wondering how a noodle with a head even evolves
@@kyrab7914 first it looked like a lizard, then it lost its legs! this kind of thing keeps happening! look up legless lizards, they aren't snakes but they have a very snake like body plan.
I love how something like 80% of this video is "why this snake is a nightmare to keep"
"This will be where the snake makes it's poopies 🥰"
Lol Clint is such a gem.
Clint is covering the green anaconda!! What could be next?!
An saltwater crocodile?
A bear?!
An *ADULT* HUMAN!?!
we will have to find out
Sounds good to me!
I mean for adult humans you can simply give them a room with some supplies and they are good to go since they can take care of themselves by going to work
Ooh I'd love to see an adult human video, great idea for valentines day, time to pester Clint haha
I think most civilized states nowadays ban the ownership of humans.
Golly she’s beautiful 😍
Glorious!
The bloopers at the end are the best. You definitely need a friend while handling one of these. A Boa can accidentaly choke you out, or break bones just from hugging you. These guys get bigger and stronger. I think if I had one, I would stick to petting it once it got huge. NERD says they like to hide so their enclosure don't have to be super size. Use a baby pool for bathing outside of the cage. Anacondas wouldn't be that hard if you really want one and are able to spend alot of time with it.
The enthusiasm in how you said that "if an adult anaconda coils you up when you are all alone, you are going to die"! With a big ol grin on your face and that head nod at the end really cracked me up. Your sheer enthusiasm and geeky way of talking makes this show so funny for all the right reasons:)
