HERPING AN ABANDONED AMUSEMENT PARK IN BALI (Reticulated pythons, water monitors, and more!)

While on our tour of Bali, Indonesia, we stopped at Taman Festival, an abandoned amusement park to look for snakes, lizards, pythons, monitor lizards, and other reptiles, and man, this place did not disappoint! Like a scene from Jurassic World, the park is home to crumbling buildings, statues wrapped in vines and the swampy remains of an old crocodile pit!

The title of Wolf Snake comes from the fact that their front (maxillary and mandibular) teeth are quite large and reminiscent of the fang-like canines of a wolf. The word Lycodon, the genus to which these snakes belong to, originates from the Greek words ‘Lycos’ meaning wolf and ‘odon’ meaning tooth.

[@hellenabella]

Thx for the information ^^

[@celtzen]

The colouration on those Retics is absolutely beautiful - I actually think it's much nicer than a lot of the morphs!

[@ellewebb8671]

Love watching your videos, thank for producing them!The New Latin name Lycodon is derived from the Greek words λύκος (lykos) meaning wolf and οδόν (odon) meaning tooth, and refers to the fang-like anterior maxillary and mandibular teeth.

[@summitserpents4193]

The African Snake Bite Institute says the Lycophidion capense, common name "wolf snake," gets its name from them having long, recurved teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

[@jesusbeloved3953]

Good work, bro!

[@johnagen3688]

That retic was insane!!!! Would love to see examples of what each wild type locale looks like and the differences. How many different locales of retic are there?!!! Have an insane and safe weekend, stay amped, and rock on!!!!

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Lycodon is Greek and means wolf tooth, just from the disproportionately long front teeth of the species. Nice pit viper, vine snake and of course retic. Quite a lot of diversity for an urban setting.

[@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster]

Man that indian guy almost stepped on a viper

[@itsyaboyypat7578]

The baby water monitor won me over lol love those little fellas

[@carltoncarnivores]

I had thought Boiga cynodon got its name from the same source as Lycodon: its actual teeth. On the note of teeth: I found a shed one from my retic and have saved it now to demonstrate to people why they commend so much respect. Mine can't be much convinced to bite (at least once she's been convinced it's not actually always feeding time), but those knife edges on that dentition are no joke.

[@benfrankie5184]

Cool content, but something about it just makes me feel like some of those were pets brought to that location for filming. just didn’t feel like authentic herping (I could be wrong) content it felt more like a scripted wannabe TV show

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

A wolf snake is a slender colubrid snake, small in size, that lives in the lowland forests of southern Asia. It gets its genus name because its front teeth resemble the fangs of a wolf. Not certain if it's accurate ...

[@derrickhageman1969]

That is actually accurate

[@savannahwhitney8792]

Dav* "Stop it!! That's not friendly.... The re-tigg* " officer Dav.... I just want continue my commute to work . . .

In my opinion, the black mamba is the most dangerous snake in the world. Because of his aggressive and violent behavior... Thank you for your attractive and spectacular videos...

[@theresabundy4002]

Awesome video! Hope you guys had the adventure of a lifetime! Thanks for sharing! 🥰

[@justdoinit2378]

All vipers are absolutely cool. I love snakes honestly but I’d never buy or own one. That retic was absolutely stunning with its colors. Super cool trip man. Stay safe n educated. Peace

[@jimc6687]

Dav: Ricky Mack is definitely alive and well plus back in a cool Aussie video....on another upstart YT channel. I do not wish to step on toes so if you'd like to check out this video (first in well over a year!), let me know and I shall happily!! Jim C.

[@GarysTandAExotics]

Ditto what @summitserpants said. They have canine teeth. Thats crazy. They were also discovered on the night of a full moon. Na just kidding 😂

[@erikm8372]

If that black ant is any size comparison, crawling around on that Malayan krait, then it really was a “little” baby, I guess! Tiny!

[@Steevee14]

At ~9:20 - "timorensis"? Could you have meant to say: TRIMERESURUS ?

[@gsdmom1194]

Imagine, in the far future-pending this was to be preserved, what a team of archeologists would think. What story would they decide for this cemetery.

[@williambaker1753]

Herping with a beautiful thi woman lucky you Dave. I would love to have a beautiful girl that likes to catch snakes and lizards

[@catherinepoloynis]

What a wonderful place.. the animals all look so healthy and thriving. Thanks for sharing this.

[@justdoinit2378]

It’s called a wolf snake for these reasons. Named after their enlarged front teeth, which gives them a muzzled appearance similar to canines n also named for large teeth in both jaws.

[@bjthecrow]

What happened to the croks that's were in that pond Dāv

[@bernardmarsh4133]

Check what was found on Legian beach 1 week ago. That will help answer your Question. Hey Dav. Top vid mate. Big hello to you and Adam from all us.

[@derp_dragons]

Wolf snakes are super cute, IMO. But apparently not really anyone seems to be working with them in Europe. Does anyone know the reason they're not that popular in the hobby?

[@happybee7725]

Dog tooth cat snake- boiga cynadon. The largest species of the boiga genus. After this video and the gift it left dav its name should maybe be changed to “dog sh*t cat snake”

[@brittanysarty1990]

That retic is stunning

[@nepaleseman1010]

Why would a reptile need to absorb the suns heat on the Equator when the environment is a constant 32c by day and 24c at night. I understand absorbing the sun heats in northern latitudes, but not on the Equator. By the way that reticulated python, was the most beautiful one I have ever seen.

[@joelmacintyre613]

how big of an enclosure does wickensi need

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

18X12X12 is sufficient lol

[@0oOo0oOo0oO]

Wolf snakes get their name from their big ol “canines”, not fangs, just big teeth 😊

[@momamiandkiddokelsi9027]

Wonderful! I love yours and Adam's Bali videos! 😍

[@steveklick]

All those snakes and other creatures were perfect specimens because they are living perfect lives in that place.

[@richgh4905]

I read wolf snake comes from big teeth in front of thier mouth but don't remember where I read it cause I on my own have studied reptiles for 40 years now wish I could do what you do

[@lindseyjoslyn290]

That baby water monitor was an awesome find, how long did it take you to capture it?

[@exomake_mehorololo]

The wolf snake is called that because of its teeth wolf like teeth

[@KrisPSouls9258]

I love monitor lizards and would of had a blast finding baby ones.

[@sahasmehta1608]

wolf snake comes from the enlarged teeth inthe front of the mouth hence the genus name lycodon

[@jdssurf]

Wild retics patterns and colors blow away any single morph in my opinion.

The green snakes and the reticulated python were gorgeous. Y’all are braver than me grabbing those critters. :)

[@Thebeetleguy]

This is a little known fact but the name wolf snake actually comes from the fact that these snakes are a species of wolf. The reason that these wolves look like snakes is just convergent evolution. Occasionally you will see them howling at the moon and hunting in packs.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

never been to asia but have been watching a lot of channels in asia. instantly recognized that wolfsnake.
