Argentine Tegus dont really have a disposition toward biting poeple...certainly not out of no where...a tegu will usually give you sure warning signs if it was aggravated before biting you.

A family friend of my girlfriend’s family has a Sulcata Tortoise named Tinker Bell, and she is far from full grown, probably the size of yours, or a little bigger. She decided, “I don’t wanna be in this room anymore.” For context, a whole room in the house is her enclosure. Because she no longer wanted to be in that room, SHE BROKE THROUGH THE WALL. They now have a whole in the wall because their tortoise walked through it.

@@PlanesAtPaine I know this is a late reply, but I had a similar experience when I was in school and was playing with the class snake. I wasn't paying attention, and due to a condition I have a higher body temperature than most, and ended up with the snake sneaking into my shirt. I became aware of this as a problem when I went to move my arm and found I couldn't. The snake, seeking warmth, had wrapped around my entire arm and tightened up because it was 'climbing'. (For reference, when climbing, snakes will squeeze their body three times harder around the surface of the object to make sure they don't fall.] This ended with me having my arm sticking out slightly, and unable to lower it or raise it much. I then had to walk up to the teacher (it was lunch break and I always came to see the animals that were class pets), wait my turn to talk to her, and explain that I needed help with the snake. No I hot lost it or hurt it, but he was currently under my clothing using my arm as a perch. Didn't hurt me or feel bad, but I wanted to give the other animals attention and lunch was coming towards an end. Was a great time, but yah, always be careful of where snakes like to wander.

I was really hoping to see burms hit your channel after you started covering animals that don’t make the best pets, or at least aren’t ideal for everyone. So when I saw this thumbnail I got really excited. As someone who keeps and is working towards breeding burms (they’re my favorite non-venomous snake) I agree with just about all that you said. Most burms are going to stay in the 10-15 foot range but over a lifetime, 18-19 feet is doable. I would say this though, a 10-15lb rabbit is usually sufficient even for the largest girls. I know some people feed piglets, and I have roosters on reserve, but if you’re in contact with some agreeable meat rabbit breeders and have good sources for frozen, they’re quite manageable to get food for. $20 a month to feed an adult female is still less than a pet store would charge to feed rats to an adult ball python, so it’s all in who you know. Aside from chickens, rabbits and the occasional piglets, they don’t really delve into livestock in captivity. The one thing I would emphasize over anything is get hands on with an adult BEFORE you decide to buy one. They are heavier than they look and a whole lot stronger than you think. Over the years at expos I’ve seen tons of people hold one and immediately realize it’s too much. Just as many people, myself included, held one (really kind of wearing it lol) and fell immediately in love. They aren’t for everyone, and where you fall should be known before you bring one into your home for the sake of the animal. But if you end up being someone that falls in love, I encourage you to research and take the leap. They make wonderful and rewarding pets for the right people. :)
@switchtheflip94225 жыл бұрын
I'd say the same applies for most exotics. A lot of people are pretty bad at visualizing the size and implications of adult reptiles (myself included). You can tell someone a sulcata gets huge, but until they see an adult, a lot of people don't understand what that really looks like.
@PlanesAtPaine5 жыл бұрын
switch the flip Exactly. The 16 foot stat might be a number most people can grasp but until you see it in person or get to feel the weight of it, most people just can’t accurately measure it in their mind. So important to know what you’re getting into beforehand. Through expos and other kinds of outreach I hope to offer that experience to people because I really love these guys and I’d kill to have more keepers in my area, but it’s irresponsible for me to assume they’re appropriate for everyone.

@entellikiamv12464 жыл бұрын
I agree but also disagree with you. I worked at an exotic reptile store when I was 14 (long time ago) and I was in charge of cleaning the snake enclosures. Certain snakes I was nervous around (to this day I refuse to own a boa because the ones there always seemed to be temperamental. I was more inclined to hold the Burmese pythons over the baby boas if that tells you anything 😂) well, anyway for a while we had a GIANT albino Burmese python that I adored. Though I was still a little nervous handling her considering it was a wrestling match anytime she came out, my boss had to go somewhere and left me with the store (we were closed but we were doing inventory and general care) When he left he said I'm welcome to do the Burmese pythons but he said I could wait until he got back if I wanted. (probably would've been the better option, instead of a 14 year old wrestling with a Giant snake that could easily kill me.) Well anyway this is when I fell in love with this giant because although i was nervous as it was my first time handling her myself I took the leap. I took her out and just sat there with her wrapped around me trying to wrestle her and clean her enclosure at the same time. (she was very curious so she'd slither EVERYWHERE and was a lot to handle and she was also almost triple the size of our other large snakes which made matters worse.) but I had the time of my life interacting with her while she slithered everywhere and we wrestled for who gets to control where she goes.. She even made it into my shirt which ended up being a losing battle for me and I ended up having to take my shirt off to get her out. When I finally got her back in her enclosure I remember being exhausted but I also had a new found love for these giant snakes. While even today I still have a huge passion for them and still love handling them. I don't think I would want to own one myself. As much as I'd love to own one I don't think I could feel comfortable having such a giant that could potentially kill me; also the problem lies during feeding and that I don't have another person to always be there with me in the (although rare but possible) case that something bad happens. So Ig what I'm trying to say here is just because you love and respect the animal, really put some thought into whether you truly are ready to make the commitment whether you love the animal or not, and know the risks. Just my personal story and some food for thought 😄

As someone who grew up with mammals and birds only, it’s amazing how “easy” reptiles are when it comes to day to day care (food/cleaning/etc). Like it’s nothing special in the reptile scene that someone has 20+ animals as pets. well not imagine someone with 20+ cats (that are not roaming free on like a ranch). it’s possible and there are people but then these animals are the center of their life in like any way possible. Even with smaller mammals, like yes you can have 20 rabbits but they gonna need A LOT of fresh food. 20 dogs? almost impossible. 20 snakes? like you need the space but it’s possible to care for 20 snakes on your own. and then do not take up as much space as I think 20 of any mammal. And when you have 20+ birds (well, parrot-like birds, not chicken), they will be living happy but your neighbors will hate you

I kept retics for a bit more than a decade and used to buy piglets and turkeys for my biggest. Expensive as hell. It was either 2-3 large rabbits or a 30-50 lb piglet or a turkey every few weeks. Giant snakes are interesting, rewarding...and totally not for most people (including me as my life circumstances have changed).

Love your videos Clint and as a Burmese Python keeper it's great to see one on the channel. I completely agree they do have the best personality of the giant pythons, but I do think Reticulated Pythons would have been fun to see on the list. I have four of them and they are possibly the most rewarding snake to work with. Side note, I interact with my black and white tegu Blue exactly like you do with Gus Gus, they are just the best giant lizard out there. Can't wait to see more videos from you and pending congrats on 100k subscribers keep up the good work

You mentioned tortoises, but snakes are also escape artists. The guides at an animal rescue I visited had stories about one of the giant tortoises frequently digging holes in the concrete/stone walls of the enclosures. And my friend's snake got out of the smallest hole in the top of his tank. Disappeared for a month and then showed back up. They think he was living behind the laundry machine since that would be the warmest place.

My friend has a 65lbs sulcata tortoise that lives in his backyard. He was also a rescue and was about the size of your hand when he first got him. 12 years later, he's basically a walking boulder that keeps the backyard lawn clipped for him, so the big guy essentially just feeds himself (although he LOVES hibiscus flower petals, so I bring him some whenever I visit, and it's so cool he comes waddling up to see me because he knows me as "the hibiscus guy" ! So adorable :P His name is Bulldozer (or just "Dozer" for short) due to his tendency to unknowingly drag things along with him that he walks into - for instance, the backyard patio chairs are all built in such a way that, he walks into one, part of his shell will bump into it and he'll just sorta... push it along with him without noticing XD my buddy's 2 year old niece once was even sitting on one of them when he did this, and it was so funny and so cute that I'm SO GLAD I was able to get it on film! It's not everyday you see a bigass backyard tortoise dragging along a chair with a giggling toddler sitting on it :) He lives in a repurposed doghouse that's been retrofitted with internal heating, complete with a tiny little yard and wading pool for him to chill in during the summer months, even surrounded by a little chicken-wire fence! It's almost as if this tortoise isn't my buddy's pet, but more his neighbor with his own little house! And he also has a surprisingly extensive network of tunnels that run underneath the lawn - some areas are even marked so that we know not to step in those spots in case they were to cave in or something. He's got tunnels literally running from end to end going length and width-wise under the lawn, so even when I don't see him, he's usually busy doing something down there XD He's SUCH a cool pet. VERY friendly and loves to have his head softly scratched. If there's a group of people hanging around in the yard, Bulldozer will eventually show up, hoping someone has either some hibiscus petals or just some attention to give him! SUPER lovable animal.

The only one of those I might actually consider (after gaining a lot more experience with smaller snakes), is the boa constrictor. The few I've been around have always been curious and friendly. Maybe not as chill as a ball python, but nothing is as chill as a ball python. The others, well, I'd happily interact with any of them (well the monitor maybe with some hesitation), but not want any of them as pets of my own. I'm guessing that once fully grown, Oscar would be the most dangerous on the list.

I found a baby red tail boa in the desert. There were some houses not far away but I couldn't find anyone who would claim him. He was dehydrated but recovered quickly. There's literally no way I can express to you how sweet this snake was. He seemed to be naturally housebroken and would sit in front of the door when he needed to go out. He hated being in a cage, he wanted to be with his people. He generally had the run of the house. Whenever a human was present he had to be with them. He followed us around and slept in our bed with us and our cat. The earliest pictures I have of my, now, 41 year old son are of him with the little snake curled up along side of him. Our snake was fascinated with the baby and the two of them grew up together. We were heartbroken when our 13 foot long baby passed. He had a long, happy life with us and we will always miss him. Anyone who asks me what kind of snake I recommend for someone who wants a lot of contact with it... I obviously suggest a red tail boa and I recommend to snake proof their home first because they are very curious. One other thing. As much as I loved my snake and he truly was a part of the family... he wasn't too bright. They need an environment where they can't get into trouble. Or they will. Treat them like baby that's not going to grow up. Unlike our 6 foot green iguana... he had to be as smart and troublesome as a four year old human. He also insisted on the run of the house. He was a lover too. Mostly. He didn't like children for some reason.
