Mangshan Pit Viper, The Best Pet Snake?

The Mangshan pit viper (Protobothrops mangshanensis) might be the most beautiful snake in the world. They are also incredibly relaxed snakes that are uninclined to bite, and that's good because if it bites you, and it could with lightning fast, precision accuracy, then there is a very good chance that you will die a terrible death. So, is it a good pet? Is the Mangshan pit viper the best pet snake for you? Let's go visit Tom Crutchfield and find out!

I like how Tom Crutchfield's calm and easy interactions with them had virtually no impact on their handlability score. Good call. He's basically the Arthur Curry of reptiles so no one should watch him and think "I could do that."

[@damien81981]

nobody can do what that guy does. he unique.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

his experience is pretty much unmatched. and it hasnt always gone the right way. he has had a vew close calls

[@chonqmonk]

I met a mottled white speckled rattlesnake in Joshua Tree Park that was totally friendly, meant nobody any harm and seemed to enjoy having human visitors, and she definitely liked being touched on her underside. She's tied for most mellow and friendliest wild snake I've ever met (we have red bellies around here that about 1/2 of'em seem to like people, probably for the warmth, and I've met some really incredibly tame wild eastern hognoses, a few uber mellow rosy boas, and that rattlesnake (I go herping whenever I can, lol)).

[@erikblom3147]

You can think what you want, as long as youre not endangering yourself or the animal. Basically, do it with a ball Python or smthing

[@lorrainemunoa791]

Yeah Tom is a literal wiseman of reptiles. He's on a level beyond all of us. We can merely learn from him.

[@talravid3966]

Clint to be honest at this point when I hear viper I don't consider getting it I'm just here to learn a little about the snake and see which one is absolutely the worst pet

[@kyrab7914]

Oooo worst pet showdown sounds awesome. Could do just hot snakes, smthn like just vipers/family of snakes, overall worst pet... So many different ways

[@chrissizemore8705]

I think, as far as "absolute worst pet" goes, Mangshan vipers are probably at the very top of the list. Extremely exotic, lightning fast, hospitals have no idea they exist, and no antivenin is just a recipe for getting real dead real fast. Even an expert keeper like Tyler Nolan nearly got tagged and you can tell from his reaction that he knew what the consequences would've been.

[@talravid3966]

@chrissizemore8705 in my opinion, elapids r just worse but sure

[@chrissizemore8705]

@talravid3966 There are definitely some dangerous elapids. No question. But I think the reason snakes like the Mangshan are so dangerous is because they're so exotic. Exotic enough that they don't have an antivenin. Meaning that if you get bit, it's a death sentence. But there are definitely some dangerous elapids who are just as exotic.

[@talravid3966]

@chrissizemore8705 yea but unless you keep it as a pet or go in the wild with flip-flops they r not really dangerous just see where you walking you know

[@billysmith5409]

I never get tired of Clint’s enthusiasm he’s got the soul of a very happy eight year old.

0:20 Tyler being barefoot is completely nuts. Had he been tagged on the foot, which could have very well happened, just imagine how stupid he would have felt for not wearing boots.

[@blanket4763]

He's not very professional in general

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

Less stupid than he did after literally playing with someone else's King Cobra the way you would a puppy, for no reason? Tyler seems like a decent guy, but if he doesn't already know his cause of death he's the only one.

[@philippemineau2015]

@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 If you are talking about the bite, it is worse than that. I don't know how much you know about the incident and about snakes in general, so I apologize in advance if you happen to already know what I am going to say. That king cobra was in shed, so it could barely see anything, they brought it outside to take pictures while it was a hot, sunny summer day, while Tyler perfectly knew what it meant (both the sun and shedding). I think that they had been interacting with the snake for quite some time too. They literally had every red flag and he still handled the cobra the way he did. I am genuinely glad for him and his family that he survived, but if someone ever deserved getting bit, it was him that day

[@kyrab7914]

It's unfortunately not uncommon to see him or a couple other hots keepers in sandals or slides or barefoot. Which I can almost see the logic, like you do this every day and it'd be a hassle to have to change, but then idk you could like leave snake room shoes in the snake room? But again idk, I've not handled them or been in that situation, so I'm not an expert

[@philippemineau2015]

@@kyrab7914 I think that becoming complaisant is actually a huge danger. Like you said, it can become tiring to always work the safest way, since it requires more efforts. While I do not own any venomous reptile either, people who do probably have an idea of what they can get away with, especially over time. The problem is that you cannot afford a single mistake. Tyler was really lucky to survive. He had very quick access to antivenin, which isn't something that most private keepers can rely on. You also don't know in advance if you are allergic to any specific venom, and that kills people in a matter of minutes. I think that the effort to work safely is simply a part of what comes with owning venomous animals. People with an audience like Tyler should especially make that effort and advocate for the safest practices. I don't want to pile on Tyler, but one really has to be self-centered not to realize that a part of their audience looks up to them for advice and as an example. The guy literally says that he's been around snakes for his entire life. It's not hard to imagine that there are people who won't have enough critical thinking to realize that he acts in an unsafe manner.

[@Warriorking.1963]

"...though setting aside a hundred grand or so for medical bills and funeral expenses, might not be a bad idea." Best line I've heard in a YT video in a very long time!

[@azurehanyo]

I can’t stop picturing Clint shouting out, “This mangshan pit viper is HYPER LIME.” “No, Clint… Take twelve.” Clint: “HYPER LIME!” “…Take fifty.”

[@seanfoltz7645]

Our ball pythons have all been trained to eat in a 40 gallon Rubbermaid container. One of us puts the rodent in, the other puts the snake in - that way there's no risk of rodent scent on the one handling the snake. The snake goes in after the rodent, that way the snake never associates things coming into the container with food, instead, the snake knows that the food will be in there, resulting in over excited snakes simply leaping out of our hands into the container rather than striking at things coming into it. Once they've eaten, they calmly allow us to remove them because they know things coming into the container will only be us and not food - we have never had an accidental strike since we initiated that SOP and the snakes recognize the container, so they never go into feeding mode until they see it. For additional safety, we keep the container in a different room and bring the snakes to it, meaning that we also don't have to worry about the snake's feeding behavior kicking in while removing them from their tanks since we found out early that some of them get over excited when they see the container, thus making removing them from their tanks potentially dangerous.

[@soupwithfork69]

Hey Clint, another wonderful vid about an amazing animal! *VIDEO IDEA* Do a video for ER staff & first Responders: A quick guide to assessing suspected envenomations. A big ole disclaimer would be necessary, and a guest with medical credentials too probably. Or even better, A How NOT to video; make it your own with comedic elements, but use it as a vehicle to educate (of course) A comparison of the different types of creatures one may encounter in the hobby and the effects of their various venom types, their actions and presentation would be pretty cool!

You must have filmed the HYPER LIME segment after Clint did a cereal flavour taste-off segment. 😂😂😂

[@pocketlama]

I hadn't noticed until I heard near, 8:18 , about Skeletor, "...my gentle touch actually relaxed her from a state of high agitation," that I also, had been relaxed and calm for a while without noticing the temporary retreat of the long constancy of grief, confusion, and many-faceted stress and anxiety that I live with on the daily. That was a sweet moment of calm that doesn't come often or easy for me these days. I cherish moments like this, and I love being surprised into them from unexpected sources or at unexpected times. Clint, you did something to my own flighty anxiety during this video and that's pretty damn awesome. I see why you are so good with the creatures you love and interact with. They get it. They clearly know the language you're using with them. You're telling them in every important way how you respect them and while you could be, you're not at all a threat. Some old, core, part of me reacted in that same way to your calm and centered education about a stunningly beautiful and fantastically cool snake that is remarkably celebratory for every other sentence being how much respect you must have to be around them and how bad it could very easily go for you if you don't. Oh man, I know this sounds dramatic but trust me, it's real. I got it so clearly at that moment, you were being the person you are and that you need to be around such dangerous creatures, and that way you were being calmed me down, in the same way Skeletor was calmed. I was a tense mess consciously, at that time, but somehow I left the back door open in my brain, and my animal brain took in your communication that you were safe and respectful and celebratory and accepted it and relaxed. It took my conscious brain a while to even notice it had happened. That is an unexpected moment of being profoundly affected by such a profoundly simple thing. Nice. Very nice. Thank you. I'm really tickled by it. "Murder missile!" Oh my god...dead

[@loriw2661]

I constantly see keepers aggravating the tails of their venomous snakes in order to get them into the enclosure quicker. This only makes the snake feel like a predator is after them. How hard is it to do what Tom Crutchfield does and gently support the tail, allowing the snake to calmly go back home? Sometimes having a lot of experience with hot snakes makes keepers over confident. That just hurts the reptile community as a whole.

[@pumpkinchow]

Unfortunately there are to many KZbinrs that film just for views and money when it should be for education. Luckily it’s quite easy to tell who those people are. Whole reason I started filming was to share my passion and knowledge from keeping and breeding for over 30years now.

Tom is an absolute legend!

[@pumpkinchow]

🙌 he definitely is

[@chonqmonk]

ANd that being 100% true, he may still be killed by one of his reptile buddies some day.

[@joetheagent]

Clint: "I've been bitten by more humans" Me: "I mean... you are the one who went and had kids" Incredible snakes though. The scale patterns are really awesome. Stinkin' rad!

[@SonOfGalactus]

Id not heard of this pit viper until now and this may be the most beautiful snake I've ever seen!! So amazing!

[@rolandjohnson4064]

What a HYPER fantastic video!

[@pumpkinchow]

🤘🏻HYPER LIME 🤘🏻

[@dutchblazewell6289]

Thank you for covering this species of snake. One of my absolute favorites.

[@keiffermcmillan1]

Thank you Clint for doing a video on my tops 3 type of snake 🐍, I love the Mangshan Viper

[@Raziel1984]

to the ridge sponsor segment i have to say: i allways wanted to know how clint would behave after 2 liters (~67,5oz) of Monter enregy drink :D

[@simpled5755]

Amazing video Clint! You oughta do Copperheads and/or Cottonmouths next!

[@rickieoakes5267]

There was talk a few years ago about copperhead venom being trialed for cancer research. I haven't heard anything lately though.

[@Ryans_Jungle]

my new favorite thing is the way Clint screams HYPERLIME 🤣🤣🤣

[@cathyb1273]

I have never heard of this beautiful viper before. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@KerriGilpin]

I love all vipers! I had a dream about this type of snake several years ago, but didn’t know the name, had to look up “green camouflage pattern viper” the next day. I’ve seen Tyler’s once or twice at the time, so it was strange to have one in a dream.

[@cdelane3335]

Lol your videos are growing on me!! Those snakes look so mean but actually seen veey gentle.

[@Indarow]

Wow, Tom is a master among masters. He’s the type of keeper everyone should want to apprentice under.

[@Book-Mark]

Brilliant video! Beautiful, beautiful snake.

[@YashaVatrushka]

I'm so impressed with people who work with venomous snakes ! I remember seeing Tyler almost get bit by this snake from a youtube short... it would definitely deter me. That's a beautiful creature regardless

[@redhotdevilwoman03]

I didn't know about this snake's existence. It's beautiful and beautifully deadly. Thank you, Clint I love your way of teaching us all about "the best pet everything!" Much love from Ontario Canada

[@fearsome6684]

Good Video ! keep up the rare reptile info

[@stevejenkins9984]

This was the most informative video on these snakes I've found well done and thanks? Beautiful snakes but I'm not yet ready for one of my own lol

[@GodisTruth914]

Tom is the reptile whisperer!

[@LISTEDGames]

Hey Clint, can you do common rain frog, they're so cute and goofy!

[@hunterivey]

Great video, by the way, since you mentioned Bears, I like to see a care video about them

[@EmzZone42]

Beautiful and his relationship with them is fantastic

[@sakuram69]

I love snakes, and I’d never even heard of these beauties before. Absolutely stunning creatures. I really love the way you present your videos as well. I would hope to think that most people watching these videos would instinctually know keeping a very venomous animal is a horrible idea, but I know better lol I watch them purely out of fascination and wanting to learn more about these wonderful animals. I love that you made a brief mention of the false water cobras, too. If I could ever get a snake and could get past my issues with feeding them (even frozen rodents bother me, cus, I love my rodents lol) I would definitely get the false water cobra. Those are my dream snakes. I am super, super curious if there is a way to breed a non-venomous snake, like a ball python, to have this type of coloration though… the markings on these guys are just absolutely stunning. I’ve seen tons of green snakes before, and while they are also beautiful, it’s the dark jade colorations and patterns on these mangshans that truly make them stand out for me

[@Swompmaster]

An aquarium near me has Mangshan pit vipers so I’ve known about them for a while and they are among my favorite animals.

[@Chill.08]

wow! these are some of my fav vipers! My local zoo has a breeding program for this species. I have such appreciation for this beautiful snake. I have about a million pictures of the individuals at the san diego zoo haha

[@AmazingWildlifeWonders]

Such a cool looking viper! Reptiles are so fascinating!

[@katej2284]

You always know it's not a good pet when Clint's bypassed the gloves and the temporary enclosure and just doesn't even have the animal anywhere in the vague vicinity 😄

[@sproutingresilience4787]

Ive know about these snakes for over a decade, and i love how they look, but i had no idea they got soo big!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Those are really pretty. They kinda remind me of a mix of a frog and moss.

[@JLAvey]

I think a general rule of thumb concerning best pet snake is that if viper is in the name then the answer will be no.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I first heard about this snake a few years ago from a keeper in South Africa. He seemed to think that the Mangshan Pit Viper had longer average fang length than the current record holder, the gaboon viper. Nice to see such a rare snake showcased here as attention does need to be on them so we can help prevent their extinction.

[@justdoinit2378]

The hyper lime commercial was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 this has quickly become one of my favorite snake n reptile channels. Top 3 for sure. Could quite possibly actually be my number one reptile channel!!!

[@charleerain1936]

i love your tie!

[@lightfurysketches5271]

a zoo in my area got 4 young mangshan vipers for a breeding project, but one of them died because an intern got salty and placed a portable heater next to its enclosure. that was just devastating!

[@rangdipkin6826]

YOURE THE BEST, SIR CLINT. LOLOL Ridge should pay you extra for the ad. It was epic 🤣

[@cntipede1000]

That Tyler Nolan guy is a snakebite waiting to happen

[@aidanwebster75]

This is one of my fav vids

[@johnlash6511]

Mangshan vipers are beautiful 😍 and tom Crutchfield is very good at reading and being relaxed with the animals

[@hinney827]

I can just imagine being in the ER and hearing the Clint's Reptiles intro music: "I love Clint! ...oh no.." What a ridiculously gorgeous snake.

[@harambae117]

Clint knows most of us won't even consider buying it, and he also knows that we enjoy watching the video regardless.
