Egyptian False Cobra Enclosure Build!

[@davidspratt9737]

Could do a full video teaching all about this beauty, I've never heard of an Egyptian false cobra and now I want one haha. Keep the videos coming i love your work

[@davesexoticsburmssuperdwarfsan]

I think your vivarium looks fantastic I really like the more natural look keep up the good work 👏 🙌

[@brutusinthesin5883]

One of my dream snakes. It's nice to see more of them.

[@christinahayes7343]

Your nails did look really pretty like that. It was cool to see her draped over the sage brush like that. She is such a pretty snake. She looks pretty happy in there.

[@roundingitreal1893]

My dear PaleScales... Here's a little FYI about the Egyptian False, considering the over/under reaction about "rear-fang" colubrids. Although one of my favorite species and quiet beautiful in their indifferent style, the venom toxicity yields recently studied are comparable to the Walterinnesia genus, known as the black desert cobras. Endemic to the same terrain and region in the Middle East. More Haemorrhagin effect, however, than neurotoxin. The good news lies in the fact that their mouths and middle fangs can't grip to a wide open strike range and seldom strike like the docile Beaked Snakes, which also have underrated venom toxicity. Great set up and video, though.

We need a house tour and pet enclosure as well 😍🙌🏼!

[@pandafish3522]

I own a pair of Malpolon Moilensis. And for advice, they come from the Middle East. They come from the harsh deserts and are one of the very few reptiles that benefit from being kept on a mixture of sand and clay. They need the mixture to be moist enough to build underground tunnels but not enough to spike humidity. I personally keep my pair on substrate 7- 10 inches deep. And they have made insanely deep and extravagant tunnels. I keep my hot spot at 115°f and the cold end room temp so that they have the choice to thermo regulate but I have found they never leave the hot end. So im going to change that set up to where the entire enclosure is at 90 and the hot end around 120°f in the coming months. Mine refuse to drink from water bowls, so I have a waterfall on the cool end and 3 times a week I drop water on their heads and they drink that way. Personally, I found to stop nose rubbing, which will happen, is to give them much larger enclosures than what you think they need. Mine will eventually be moved to a custom built 10ftX6ftX3ft. I know it sounds like a giant enclosure, and it is. They are racer like snakes. They need an absurd amount of space or they will bang and rub their noses to the point they get bad infections. Also, most of them are imported so you will need to treat them for parasites.

[@PaleScales]

Thank you so much for all the advice!!! What medication do you recommend treating them with that is safe?

[@pandafish3522]

As I am not a vet I can’t accurately give advice on that. But I can tell you, to go to a very knowledgeable exotics vet in your state that specializes in snakes, most notably rear fanged and venomous reptiles. They know more than your average every day vet and some medications that one less experienced vet may advise can potentially kill your snake. I hear around the grape vine Flagyl is good for some treatments. But not to sure personally. There are communities online such as the reptiles and exotics amino, where people come together and talk and share their knowledge about reptiles. There’s a member on there that has owned these snakes before and can tell you more than I can. If you join there, her username is SnekBones.

[@pandafish3522]

Oh I forgot to add, medications depend on what parasites the snakes may carry too. The best thing is just to see the vet and request blood work and fecal exams.

[@paradiddlesixix7530]

@@PaleScales panacur and/or flagyl. dosing is pretty easy to come by.

[@steveburlingame1935]

Awesome videos love the builds

[@daysia2078]

Mixing the substrate is so satisfying to watch 😍

[@kylamulvanity7706]

It looks amazing I ❤️ it she is such a cute snake 🐍. I miss your videos I love watching them you are so creative and such an inspiration

[@Boaman3]

Fantastic False Cobra set up , I love this video and I love cobras. I struggle mentally as well and I have several mental illnesses plus I'm mentally handicapped with a mental disability.

[@samonevanbuskirk8066]

Loved this all and your nails are fire for sure not gonna lie my jaw dropped a bit when I saw them. I have two FWC named after Octavia & Lincoln from the tv show the 100. Been thinking about getting some FEC but I have to get the cages first and your video really helped. I love the "hate/love relationship" you have for that cactus. I like it, it looks good in there keep it.

[@tayloralexandra9507]

I love your enclosure builds! They’re all so beautiful. I’m so interested in all of these ‘false cobra’ species, have never really heard of them before you! P.s. all the waters you put added salt ass Dasani 😂😭

[@PaleScales]

Taylor Kapuy thank you so much!!! I’ve been so drawn to these strange species, they’re very underrated! And son of a bitch, now I’m imagining salt in my water 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@scottmcconnell1296]

I was able to collect several of these in northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq back in 1990/91 and found them to be fairly docile even as wild caught. My wife just procured one for me in October. Wish there was more info out there. We need more captive breeding.

[@lylawilliford5465]

It is awesome you are making videos like this b/c Egyptian false cobras are not very common and there is not much info on them!

[@Chaotic4Exotics]

I have one she's amazing

[@zandersvarld7874]

Super jelaouse that you can just go out and pick stuff from the desert. 😄

[@victoriasimmons7972]

Beautiful snake👍 That's good that you take real good care her.

[@kendylhiltibran9016]

I love how it turned out!! Also love the nails, the snake skin in them is dope :)

[@jrborges]

Such a cool species and the enclosure came out great!

[@sheriscovill5894]

Beautiful enclosure ! I live in Chandler Az and just purchased my first Egyptian false cobra I have had a FWC for over a year how do you feel the temperament of the two species compare?

[@FloridasWildest]

Love it!

[@Tuishimi]

It's almost autumn here in Phoenix and we are still hitting record temps. lol.

[@chrisssmp]

That enclosure is ✨everything✨ buuuuuut random question… WHERE did you get that monstera blanket that’s on your bed? I absolutely need it.

[@emilywilliamson2910]

Where do you buy all of the driftwood? Its so pricey around me!

[@samspencer3518]

I'm curious to know what temperatures you keep in the enclosure cause I'm gonna be getting one soon but can't find any Temps to set my thermostat to....any help would be awesome

[@skybluespike8373]

I love all your videos, and I've been watching forever. Not lyin' I was gettin' a little worried about you as I had not seen anything for a while. I can completely understand, sometimes life you know. I love your nails, little creepy, but ok. Tank looks good, snakes seems pleased.

[@PaleScales]

thank you! :) Life has been hard on us all...follow me on IG if you want to keep up between videos! @PaleScales

[@joeyjackyboykirkpatrick1499]

You put up another video! Yay lol

[@lew4925]

Loved the video, shes such a beauty! I have a question, how often do you hold to reptiles to keep them "tame-ish" if you will?

[@thepropagatinghippie]

how is your false egyptian cobra so calm when i had mine it was aggressive to be aggressive would coil to

[@jayj6951]

Your nails make a great rake for the soil 😝 I really like the EFC, I have an FWC, how similar are they?

[@Tuishimi]

I had to send a screenshot of your nails to my daughter. :D

[@Tuishimi]

And your enclosure looks really nice.

[@Dudbeara]

Yesss 🌸🤍 love!!

[@kuzmapapi]

12:40 Receiver of Toes was here!

[@zaysreptiles1870]

What temps do you have her at? I have an Egyptian falsy and I can’t find much on them. What is your hotspot at? I’m having so many troubles lol

[@Ryethekit]

Did you ever figure out what the Hotspot should be? Getting one tomorrow-- going to ask the keeper, but I want to be 100% certain

[@melodymagnetti7176]

I just got a false Egyptian Cobra for my fiance Jimmy as a late anniversary gift

[@kindabre9666]

hey! what size tubs do you use for your snake rack? 😍

[@skanodyb1237]

Can you give us an update on the false water cobra?

[@c9206805684]

I love this setup. I'm not good with decorating but I let the girlfriend do that for all our reptiles. Love the enclosure who makes it or did you make it yourself?

[@sharonrigs7999]

How bad is this rear fanged bite? I have heard they are significantly worse than Mangrove snakes.

[@billeakins2006]

lortee how are you feeling good I hope I haven't seen any new videos have you made any I hope to see some soon take care

[@justinboyd4097]

Where did you get this snake ? :)

[@PaleScales]

Justin Boyd she’s from AE Herps and Exotics

[@slasher323]

Egyptian False Cobras have oversized venom glands for a colubrid and put down mice pretty quick, id be careful of handling her.

[@Boaman3]

They are a venomous colubrid snake species very true

[@adamfurniss1707]

Deffo could use more substrate lol
