Giant Gaboon Viper (Peaches) with Mark Anderson

[@randallsmerna384]

I just saw another video where a gaboon viper was moving as fast as a rattlesnake! They're definitely not always this slow!

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

That huge Gaboon viper is so beautiful that she's a natural work of art. Knowing her level of lethality only makes her more awe-inspiring.

[@redhouaneredhouane6259]

a true masterpiece of nature

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I love the Gaboon Vipers. The most beautiful snakes in the world. They are the reason I keep Blood Pythons, as they have many of the same traits as the Gaboon Vipers. Mark Anderson and his stunning snakes, the way he treats them, and the accepting nature of the snakes, is making a positive impact on our Reptile Hobby. All snakes and reptiles deserve respect, kindness and conservation. Peaches is Magnificent and majestic.

[@averychilco]

All foreign born snakes should be banned, how many of these people report their snakes missing after a hurricane, let me guess, 0.

[@TheSaltySiren]

Gaboons are my all time favorite viper. I’d never own one, but they are gorgeous!! Peaches is THICC!! What a beauty!

[@TreyBlogHD]

Now that is one huge West African Gaboon Viper. I fell in love with these snakes back when I was in Zimbabwe. Saw one in the wild and nearly stepped on it when I was like 6 years old but my cousin noticed it and pulled me away and we admired it from a distance. Such beautiful snakes

[@Ukraine_Frontline]

We don't take any chances here and the other guys just hold her in his hands free handle it 😂😂😂

[@xTynanx]

What a gorgeous snake, I love how well all of your animals are kept!

[@DiogoSacco]

Bro i just reallized you guys just started this yt channel lol probably one of the greatest reptile channels out there

[@onazram1]

"Getting a venomous snake common to your area" is great advice because of the available anti-venom... Keep in mind that anti-venom treatment could run 200k and more depending upon envenomation quantity and type!

[@tresbelle4197]

I like watching Gaboon vipers on the screen,but I'm so happy they don't live in my country.

[@owen7185]

Peaches is simply stunning, so gorgeous and it’s great to see collectirs respect their animal

[@davidwayne5152]

The horn is for extra camouflage, helping break up the shape of the head.👍

[@joecosgrove167]

You guys treat her with most respect and so kind. Beautiful animal...

[@carolebarbey4395]

Beautiful video. I love how respectful and gentle you are with these snakes. It was actually very relaxing and to watch, and had great educational content too 🤩

[@urbanjunglereptilesbioactive]

Thank you so much! We try and represent the animal in positive light and give as much of our experiences and knowledge of these sentient beings as we can !

[@Union-City-Man]

At 30:15 her head was no more than 15 cm from your hand, if she had wanted to bite... you would have had no chance. I hope you know that.

[@kristinawrites238]

Stunning animals & what I love most is the responsible and respectful way you handle them.

[@slappy8941]

Why do people think they need a half hour intro to their videos? 😂😂😂

[@robertjohnson3855]

Gaboons have some of the most beautiful skin of all venomous vipers and the longest fangs of all snakes (2-21/2 inches). Viewing their beautiful skin up close is so beautiful

[@robertjohnson3855]

I love watching snakes but hate handling ANY snakes, even non-venomous snakes.

[@YochevedDesigns]

Peaches is absolutely stunning! I have some serious respect for you guys. You've gained a new subscriber. 🐍

[@marcasvendetta1977]

Stunning girl. Glad i found your channel, seems to handle as you should with great informations.

[@victoriabagwell8426]

Another one of God's stunning creations.

[@MarcHasaraMarcHasara]

I like to see the kindness you exhibit in the handling of your Gaboon viper. It looks content and you are gentle with it.

[@Anthony-wj6xb]

Absolutely beautiful but I really don't think they are a "safer" venomous and easier venomous. Considering they can strike at literally any angle including behind their own head/ body, strike insanely fast, huge fangs so your only hope is a dry bite. Some cobras could be easier to work with as they are only going to strike where they are concentrating and are very visually alert but can't change directions to the side or behind them.

[@edge6715]

Great video and a truly awesome , gorgeous Gaboon 😎😍👍

[@dilboo]

I really can't describe it, but something about the way they move makes my skin crawl. I love snakes, this isn't my favorite species though.

[@SteveSJDR]

What absolutely beautiful creatures. Gaboons are my favourite snakes, the baby was so cute, but the big girl was something else. Brilliant video.

[@Amandarecovers]

Woah! Thanks for the jumping spider today!!!

[@hatfieldjesse7780]

Hooking one of those snakes is more dangerous for them than it is for you because you can actually break their ribs with a hook because they're so heavy

[@rachellehenson5568]

Peaches is absolutely stunning!! Gaboons are my favorite snake. Mark is so gentle with her and she’s so placid. Great vid and great content. I subscribed. 💜💜

[@gageburton4153]

Always excited to see a channel that deserves it start blowing up. Hot snakes are so cool. But warm snakes are neat too.

[@tomcooper6108]

Do all snake handlers keep their shoestrings untied and buy loose shoes so they can move at a moments notice?

[@Crybaby-Media]

Man, peaches is so calm. She is such a beautiful animal. The only hot snakes I think are more beautiful are Spiny bush vipers . But Gaboons are so cool. I love their body size and their heads .

[@jasonwatson1412]

Quite the chonker for such a short little fella. He hissed but even new to this handler and home still didn’t strike. Shows how docile they are by nature

[@cryptiecreep]

I love Gaboon Vipers. They're both gorgeous and just fascinating to watch, and while I'm not able or willing to keep snakes, I support them

[@loriw2661]

You’ve done a beautiful job getting her weight down. It DOES take a lot of patience!!

[@donna5499]

Love that Beautiful Viper. Loved Mark. He did a great job handling his snake Hugs from Seattle❤

[@sharonrigs7999]

A good 'starter' hot snake for South Africa would probably be a Night Adder or Namaqua Dwarf Adder. Perhaps, a Spotted Harlequin snake. They are gorgeous!

[@clothestravel]

Beautiful snake. But I don’t understand when he said he’s not in striking range - he’s sitting on the floor, looking no more than a foot or two away from her. How could that not be within striking range? He looks so close to her when he’s on the floor handling her.

[@kirkbrackmann6385]

My goodness! What a unit!

[@snagireddy3283]

One of those snakes that, if a handler said, "I've worked with them my entire life." I'd go, "What's your point?" 😅

[@morrisdennis]

They seems patient with handling, but their strike is so unbelievably fast!

[@davidtappe5337]

I think this video is a good example of walking the tight rope.

[@snakemannn1744]

Great vid ,,,,,, Yes i can handle the gaboon the right way ,,,,,,

[@lcook0825]

What a great video for the public to view. What a beautiful reptile.

[@davidgao9046]

What a gorgeous caterpillar!

[@TheGentleDragon2001]

Oh, niiicccee such a beautiful snake i wish I could work with them but they are cool to look at either way

[@colincgc]

She is a beautiful chunky monkey!

[@hoopsheavenpa]

I’m horrified and fascinated at the same time. Beautiful and amazing creature but I wouldn’t go within a country mile of it.

[@MrJayharr58]

Beautiful snake! Great looking place, everything is very clean , organized. Having worked with venomous reptiles before I’d familiarize yourself with bite protocol as many hospitals I. The NW are only going to be familiar with rattlesnakes, copperheads not really exotics. Great idea to bring that book. I thought the old rumor / myth about venom yields via adults vs snakelets has been disproven? There are so many articles and even videos where they put this argument to the test and it was always rather surprising. It’s not even close in almost all types of snakes tested. The adults produced an incredible amount more venom. I think that misnomer has been perpetuated for so long people believe it. I mean the logic behind it makes sense as you would think a hatchling isn’t able to control its venom but there are far more things that impact venom yield.

[@richardfloridaman]

I love this! Glad I found you via the algorithim and I subscribed.

[@urbanjunglereptilesbioactive]

Radical and thank you !

[@katarzyna2478]

Love and knowledge plus gentlesness makes even viper friendly.Good example for us human species.Happy New Year 2024

[@Mountain.Man.1978]

We have copperheads in my area of Georgia. I’ve watched lots of herping videos and they are so laid back.

[@milesgreenslit]

Very beautiful snake

[@wesleybaughman9653]

My gaboon only has one good eye. I'm hoping she can still eat and function with that

[@mikecraner4723]

Peaches is beautiful love the gaboon vipers!

[@linguisttwo]

How venomous are they ? Are they super deadly like king cobras or less venomous 0?

[@williammunny7133]

Beautiful snake.

[@L.V.exoticpets]

The red on her sides is just gorgeous ❤

[@ryang3666]

Can you not hook him just to hook him?

[@sidcoleman6078]

Hey guys do y’all happen to have any gaboon viper sheds y’all would be willing to part with ?

[@WatchDanReviews]

Peaches is a beaut!

[@jeffystevens]

I love how they have the image of a smaller snake on their back

[@ceycey3.5.72]

Beautiful Viper ❤

[@owen7185]

Their speed, you can’t get out the way in time. It’s mainline goodnight nurse

[@supersunUV]

Can Gaboon Viper and Rhino Viper stay together in one kennel?

[@hennies9509]

One of these days you will have Gaboon Vipers in the wild in the USA, if not already.

[@MichaelMartin-x7g]

Why would you have something in your hands that could kill you in seconds 🤔

[@Ricardo-x1t1n]

Good question. I can't think of a good answer though!

[@GoldQueen-s1c]

Me encanta la serpiente de GABOON,es mi favorita impresionantemente BELLA 👍 !!!!

[@owen7185]

Is it true guys that their pupils go narrow when ready to strike?

[@PaulJonas-q7p]

What a chilled viper she is so relaxed beautiful snake don't get tagged

[@andrewjarvis4074]

Dont worry about the big gabby. I bet you can move faster than the snake can strike.

[@millertime187ify]

Wow amazing beautiful snake

[@silverphantom29]

Gaboons are my all time favorite snake due to their beautiful pattern

[@normanreed2652]

What on earth have you been feeding her?

[@frankyfeng6210]

One of my favourite snake in the world!

[@cwatson42785]

I have a question, isn't that unhealthy? Like maybe he should be feeding her less? I've never seen a Gaboon that big. He talked about her "being" overweight but I'd argue she's still overweight

[@markrumfola9833]

Beautiful Snakes 🐍

[@KCHaun]

That reminded me of the video of angry grandpa trying to find the gaboon viper in his yard

[@alexwarren5949]

Really good editing! Keep it up!

[@AaronChristensen]

lol that gaboon is still a baby. Beautiful gaboon. I dont care how common they are in the hobby, still a must have.

[@dilboo]

Describing a Gaboon viper as a must have is legit one of the stupidest things I've ever had the displeasure of reading

[@AaronChristensen]

@@dilboo sorry you feel that way. Perhaps I should have mentioned only for people with the necessary experience. My apologies.

[@michaelharrison3996]

She is awesome!

[@brastongray2480]

Great video man!

[@xaviermorel6352]

is it not the south america viper (the bushmaster ) the biggest ? because what i saw there is far, far bigger than the gaboon viper.

[@urbanjunglereptilesbioactive]

**Biggest adder

[@tacticalpeacock4828]

I love how the gaboon levitates it victims when they bite them.

[@chemichaelteale5556]

thats the biggest gaboon ive ever seen?

[@joshuadill7849]

I wouldn't think two people using snake hooks on one snake at the same time is really a good idea.

[@jesseperkins7601]

If I ever kept a viper...this would be the one.

[@hennies9509]

I would put a couple of small holes on the top.

[@ReiHost]

22:10 was a scared-inhale moment.

I'm just trying to be funny, but you said a "wild a deadly snake and we do all we can to protect ourselves," umm, if it were in the wild, you would best protect here in the USA, right?

That was the biggest gaboon viper I ever seen
