7 SPECIES of SNAKES in JAMAICA (Are Jamaican SNAKES Venomous?)

[@ObjectTurmoil]

Fascinating!

[@oliwoodnorth2371]

Another very informative video Alex. I had no idea that there were still snakes in Jamaica. Thought that Mongoose killed them all. I am fascinated by snakes and have held many and have pictures taken in Las Vegas with 2 very large Albino Boas wrapped around me in. One of my favourite places to visit here in Canada is a place called Reptilia. It's a fascinating place. I have only 1 fear and snakes is not it. Although I am fascinated by snakes I am TERRIFIED of Inch Worms and Caterpillars. Irritional fear 🤣. I don't take selfies so....

Superb description of these snakes, their fact they pose no harm to humans (or large mammals), and how they are threatened by introduced mongeese and cats.

[@mauimago8275]

thanks for this program. never knew there were more than 2 types of snake in ja,cool.

[@megganhutchinson1311]

The only place in Jamaica I have seen snake was at the Hope Garden Zoo

[@30DOLLARYT]

because jamaicans always kill of them animals🤦🏾‍♂️

[@manfromyard3143]

You have just educated me . I know only of the Jamaican boa and not the others. As a matter a fact I saw a mongoose in st. Ann on Thursday....keep up the good work.

[@Sneezy962]

I rather accidentally drop my phone in the ocean 🌊 than encounter any snakes 🐍 in Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@zanebowes8838]

I saw a snake once at my house

[@richardgrant8527]

nice...

[@bitdrizzle]

Why do snakes conjure up such instant fear and hatred? I have come across the blind snake. It was a brown and tiny snake that looks like a worm.

[@Mothobius]

@@HummingbirdJa yeah Christians always be saying snakes are evil and cursed. Like bruh that's just a reason to make me like them more. I'm Christian and when people say that to me they look dumb. And they say all of God's creation is good too.

[@darrienjames30]

Thank you for this informative video. I’m Jamaican; love learning more about the biodiversity of my homeland. 😊

[@LincAvenue]

Thank you for explaining The different types of snake. but remember GOD said snake or serpent and they're dangerous I don't trust anyone

I had a Grass snake once. I caught a number of blind snakes many times and try to raise them, not the easiest creatures to care for. I would love to have a boa of any kind, I absolutely love them.

[@dianesmith4922]

you are creepy.worst creature to try and tame.

[@blackbway]

@@dianesmith4922 give your reasons?

[@mansamusa3677]

I have a eyespot boa it's the most beautiful snake you'll ever lay eyes on in Jamaica...I find them all the time in my backyard they don't even bite.

[@blackbway]

@@mansamusa3677 I did find a beautiful yellow and black boa in California but I didn't keep it. It was gorgeous 🥰

[@blackbway]

@@mansamusa3677 why do you call it a eyespot? Is that the name of the species, or does it have a spot over the eye?

[@kennoybrown3946]

I've never seen one before. But for the past few years they are often found in the Trelawny and St. James area

[@EliteJamaica]

OK, I have seen a few of the videos

[@lill-Tae9276]

[@marvinsinclair9245]

Which parishes?

[@Mikedole2914]

I would love to encounter a big Jcan snake. I've ever only come across grass snakes...

[@Yessar29]

I see ground snakes when it rains or the time is cool

[@gabirohwedder1688]

Great information I love snakes. And the once in Jamaica are totally harmless so plz don't kill them.

[@dianesmith4922]

creepy me a kill it ten time because how can you try to tame a creature like that

[@thunderrebel148]

Enjoyed this very informative video . Snakes are beautiful and scary at the same time. Hope I never encounter any of these creatures. Thank you 🇯🇲

[@violetburrell2452]

I would rather drop my phone in the lake. Just the name snake gives me the chills.

[@EliteJamaica]

Lol, thanks for watching

[@tupapichulo63]

So what if you lived in Trinidad and had to contend with some very venomous snakes like the Bothrops atroz (Bushmaster) and the Fer de Lance ( also found in Martinique). These are found in South America and Costa Rica. These venomous snakes are to be found mainly in the forested areas of Northern Trinidad and some other areas. As long as you leave them alone they won't bother you. If they feel threatened they'll defend themselves with their lethal bite and very potent venom.

[@dianesmith4922]

mi hate them

[@dianpowell6416]

I absolutely prefer to drop my phone in the ocean. I hate snakes.

[@georgearcher6714]

I encountered snake in St.Andrew were I grew up and as result killed some there out of fear of being harmed.

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

The black ground snakes is plenty in east central st James and galle wasp lizards

[@Mothobius]

@@paulg3012 how did they kill it?

[@Mothobius]

@@paulg3012 wait so Why? Like if you had caught the snake how did he get to it?

[@Mothobius]

@@paulg3012 I'm not trying to be racist, but it seems like a a lot of Jamaican people really hate animals. Especially reptiles or amphibians.

[@dannypython155]

Why would I want to drop my phone when my so obsessed with snakes.. I once found a dark brown spotted snake about 15cm as a boy when I used to search for them.. I was shocked bc i only knw black and red ground snakes in St Mary but i heard of boa near by in Galina😊

[@jeromesuckie9832]

The black ground snake Is not extinct. I see them on the farm in portland. But not so often. I only know 3 of these snake

[@errola.francis9844]

You can continue talk about what you think about those snakes. but let I tell you something. my grandmother was a farmer in Portland, Jamaica. and Jamaican snakes let my grandmother end up into Hospital more than once.

[@dianesmith4922]

snake cannot be tame

[@wiltonmcdonald2399]

The question about snakes being hated by humans the answer is found in the Bible.

[@barringtontaylor1155]

Thanks for this video I never know about those snakes you only spoke about one parish Portland it would be nice to mention all the 14 parishes that could be another video Thanks

[@EliteJamaica]

[@joanfraser5547]

I'm very upset to learn there's snakes in jamaica, I grew up in jamaica and never knew or seen a snake until I came to America hope they all become extinct, hate all snakes

[@dianesmith4922]

mi hate them so badly too

[@barrylloyd5864]

More mongoose please, Mi hate all snakes.

[@zanebowes8838]

Fun fact: animal population of inguanas and Snakes were higher before the Mongoose came, they were shipped to Jamaica by Indian settlers because the rats were getting out of control, eating sugar cane plantations and causing diseases,so they needed something to eat the rats, but they are destroying native plants and animals to Jamaica, it used to be common find snakes in Jamaica but it’s now rare to find one in Urban Urban areas and live in rainforests or the mountains, hope you learned something today, bye guys

[@ramassesskaggs8294]

I dont like even to hear the name snake, if I encounter any of them I think I would rather eliminate than let them live in my surroundings, I see all snakes as a danger to mankind

[@fat3lwound]

Best advice is to start reading more. Too old to be ignorant.

I still believe there are snakes that is still not yet discovered. I have seen a snake in Jamaica that had the colour of lavender. It didn’t have any markings or other colours on its body. It was small and a complete lavender colour. The exact same shade of a lavender plant.

[@mansamusa3677]

It's a eyespot boa they changed color through out the day... I have one .
