HOW TO AVOID A SNAKE BITE!! SNAKE BEHAVIOR MADE SIMPLE!! | BRIAN BARCZYK

[@BrianBarczyk]

Morning Reptile Army! Happy Sunday! We have the first snow flurries of the year happening right now! Crazy to think that the cold and snow season is here. But that brings great Python and Boa breeding! So theres always a positive in every situation! I wanted to make todays video because I get asked all the time how to not get bitten by your pet snake. Its a lot simpler then most people think. I look at reptiles in the simplest way and try to really think like them. Its easy to figure them out once you can simplify the way you go about it. I hope this will help some of you out! Have a wonderful day and remember how much you all mean to me! Love you all! Brian

[@eliassuorsa9838]

Probably gonna take a while until we get snow that's gonna stay. It's a beautiful day today, spent some time in the forest earlier. Have a great day man!

[@beckygallant186]

🤮🤮. I hate winter 🥶. It’s pouring rain here today. I’ll take that over snow any day.

[@tiffanimcvicker]

I hate winter and I'm so not ready for this ! We had flurries the other day. We're all trying to send it to elias in Finland from group chat! 🤣🤣

[@colleentheodore3865]

Bruce is a wonder! He is a good team member! You are surrounded by very good people!

[@wendygathof3225]

I can’t love this video enough. I’ve always watched you pick up defensive snakes, but never paid attention to how you’ve done it. That was very informative. Noah and Mike are 😂😂😂😂😂. I’ve missed not seeing Jay on the vlog. Have a nice day everyone!

[@stephaniesilvia]

I absolutely love Mike. He’s a great addition to the family

[@JerrikaPotterhead]

I totally agree!!

[@tc32brat]

My family just visited the reptarium yesterday. We all highly enjoyed how professional the staff acted, and how great the place looked. Thank you for all you do.

[@loudmouthpanda1593]

baby kush has made a lot of progress since i started watching again you guys are doing a really good job cant wait to see him one day

[@billh1491]

I love when you have the green tree boa. Your waving your hand not looking at it but can tell when its about to strike. Brian your awesome. And yes this video was helpful

[@Reptilemadness]

You are completely changing the way I look at my reptile. I couldn’t be more grateful for these highly informative videos that literally make me laugh the whole time. You are the man Brian

[@AliKitty]

Baby Kush is absolutely amazing!!! He has come sooooo far.

[@celtzen]

Seriously one of the most gratifying feelings is when your naturally defensive critter realises that you aren't a threat - I've got my Ball (granted they are pretty chill critters) to the point he will fall asleep draped across me like a seatbelt with his head on my shoulder... it's the coolest feeling

[@jonathanparker577]

Morning Brian and crew!! I love all the science and effort you guys put into these animals. It's so amazing and intriguing to learn these things. Thanks for being so informative and keep up the great work. Love the channel.

[@aliendogg6664]

Brian Thank You for doing this segment!! I’ve been in the hobby for almost 28 years and had many awesome species. With that said I have a large Asian Water Monitor who is only 1.5 years old and I took a very quick bite last month but it was definitely a terrible hand bite.... 8 staples on the palm. I still handle him constantly because he is still in flight mode. I’ve had huge ones before but this guy I wanted to raise from a hatching. I was afraid for about 2 weeks after the bite but knew I had to keep up non stressful handling. I’ve tried to explain that to people but many don’t understand non stressful and how long it can take at times. Keep trying people, it’s been proven now that most defensive reptiles can become trusting and handled without problems. Keep up the excellent work Brian!!!!

[@FPKirkpatrick08]

Hope your doing well Have an amazing day and thanks for making me smile

[@eliassuorsa9838]

Good morning Brian! I'm glad that my Rex has never wanted to bite me, at least outside of feedings. He is such a good Corn Snake. I love your vlogs!

[@vanessavieux7283]

Good morning eliassuorsa have a super awesome day Elias surosa

[@denigong9708]

My corn would eat me if he could. He is fed well.. He is a trash can for eating. But he tries to eat me no matter what. I just let him bite me and dont react. Dont set him down. Dont stop bite dont pull him off. He still tries to kill me.

[@timfoil2319]

[@faithjames4]

Thank you so much for this video. I got a bermese a few months ago and she’s always been really defensive. I’m looking forward to stopping the striking and finally being able to hold a beautiful reptile!

[@amandaveige4432]

I love videos like this! I've always been scared of snakes but watching over the last few years has really helped me understand more about them. I really hope I can make it to the reptarium someday to hold my first snake

[@carptpythn]

Thank you for this vid! My son hasn't handled his cornsnake that he got from you and now he's afraid of it because it strikes now. Because you're his hero, he watched this intently and wants to start working with him again!

[@josecat436]

Handle him everyday with positive interactions and it will quickly trust humans

[@carptpythn]

@@josecat436 yea, I'll do the majority. He's bitten me and I don't mind. Not my first rodeo. My son has Autism so he usually over reacts.

[@ZoeAnnLewis18]

I don’t know how old your Munchkin is, but it might help to build on what Brian was saying. I have two ASD cousins, and when they get freaked out by something they have all sorts of habits to try and deal with it, head banging, screaming, rocking, super touch aversion etc. Maybe frame it with your little mans way of dealing with scary things, and explain that his snake strikes are the same. The snake doesn’t understand that he is safe, and he’s scared and so he strikes. Hopefully it’ll maybe help the munchkin keep his motivation by drawing the parallels between him and the snake. Good luck! Hope the best for y’all!

[@carptpythn]

Good morning Brian I watch every time you upload love the educational content that you provide on this channel. Have a great day!

[@tinadiver13]

Thanks Brian - By the way, thanks for showing us around the reptarium on Halloween. I know I said that we came up for my sons birthday but it was just as much a treat for me. I had been pretty stressed with the Covid surge in Columbus and you were such a genuinely kind and approachable person, it was a nice break. So happy to have finally met you and the great staff. Looking forward to the expansion and our next visit.

[@McfJeremiah]

I’ve watched you since I was a little little kid glad to see your still going 💯😎

[@asheyeakin545]

I've been very fortunate and my Boa Imperator, Peaches, has been as sweet as can be since she was a baby. She has never even remotely tried to strike. She hits hard when she eats and gets pretty fired up but beyond that she is just so incredibly docile.

[@clistiarobinson2782]

Good morning brian i hope all is well. I really enjoyed the podcast last night. I hope you are having a great weekend. Today is my son's sweet 16. Thank you for all that you do. I always enjoy watching your videos, i learn alot. Much love to you, your fam, your crew and animals

Now Im working with him every day a starting to gain his trust and it feels great and his staying with me🙂. Your awsome Brian.

[@meme1966]

I know you’re excited about the new build. And you have some amazing BIG animals from lizards to snakes. I was wondering if had ever thought of setting aside a corner for “The REPTARIUM In Miniature” And in this possible “REPTARIUM Miniature” stocking it with the smallest snakes found on the plant and lizards, even include small frogs. I just thinks little kids would get a blast out of it.
