This should be called " How to handle a nervous snake", this should be a video all new snake keepers should watch!

[@CheshieD]

TheRebornPheonix well it’s kinda obvious that with any new or maybe nervous snake you should be gentle and slow instead of just yanking them out of the enclosure

[@yellowblindsbutwhiteshines813]

Mike Corbett yea I agree and I’m getting an snake because of her she is the best and the species of the snake is corn snakes when I move I’m getting one :D

[@mikecorbett9098]

@TheRebornPheonix This is true and I appreciate you pointing that out but there are ball pythons that can be jerks; however, they are generally easy going. I have to admit that it's been a while since I've seen this so I don't remember it all that well but it should be obvious that you'd have to relate any info to the particular snake you are keeping/going to keep. I have an Australian Water Python and she was really pissy when I got her but over time she grew to trust me, I had to move slow with her and often felt like a lion tamer but I eventually got her to calm down.

[@mikecorbett9098]

This makes me so happy. Remember reading a book as a kid about a young green python who was yellow instead of green, and he tried to stay yellow because he didn't want to be sleepy and green like the adult snakes, but he ended up turning green anyways, and learned to accept it. Edit: The book is called Verdi!!

[@r3ptomaniac190]

Absolutely fantastic content. I love how much respect and care you had for the snakes, and I think it's awesome that you are showing how if you are careful the snakes will not bite. I really want to work with sorong gtps in the future. Thanks for the great vid! :)

[@jonsymmonds1120]

I acquired one of these little guys many moons ago. I got it from a pet store that was going out of business. It was one of the most friendly snakes I ever had. It loved to ride around on my arm. When it was a baby it loved being in my chest vest pocket. I guess it loved my heat. It NEVER tried to strike me. It was an awesome snake I miss to this day. We kept it her in a heated aquarium and fed and handled her regularly. When she died, I was heartbroken. I don't know how long they should live in captivity...but I miss her. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Two questions: How often *could* you handle them? Since you mentioned they get stressed from too much handling How often *should* you handle them in order for them to get used to handling? Like with ground snakes you said 15 mins, twice a day but these species are much different so I was wondering if the frequency of handling is different too.

[@misfitr]

when i was first getting my GT python used to being handled i did it once a day, every day for around 15 minutes, usually at about 11am. she ended up comfortable (no longer striking at me) with being held after around 2 months. bare in mind she was an adult and it would be easier if you got one from a juvenile age. :)

[@jacobgomez2682]

I do not recommend handling them personally only to clean cages, more advanced species that can be stressed, my 2c

[@jedidiahdanley1605]

I'm not a gtp keeper but generally snake handling protocols are similar and are something like this start with short sessions and pay attention to it's behavior increasing handling based on how the individual responses are.

[@nkbujvytcygvujno6006]

It helps to be predictable. Like, tend towards, or even schedule it on, always the same time of day, hold them for the same amount of time as always, show up the same number of times as you do every week, be consistent. Let them know when to expect it. This helps them get used to it way more than never being able to tell when or how often you’re coming. Then, eventually, slowly increase the times you show up, but make those predictable and timely, too. This actually applies to all animals, not just snakes. You need to let them get ready for you. Don’t just handle them randomly.

[@erikm8372]

The older the age, the less chance you may have for taming them successfully, which is the unfortunate truth. The smaller they are, obviously handle them 10 minutes a day or sometime… I wouldn't say it's a completely lost cause the bigger they get, save any creature; just that they're going to tolerate a lot less time being bothered. But it has to be consistent. I'm beginning to see these sort of species, + others, as possibly unicorns or display animals only. 🤷‍♂️😭Definitely not animal ambassador material😂...Of course anything is possible. People get lucky all the time right👍😘

[@otterhaus]

Oh my gosh the Sorong Green Tree Python was so sweet? He really did have a wonderful disposition and not to mention he was an adorable little snek!! I'm not a huge snake person (kinda scared of them tbqh) and never plan on getting a snake as a pet but I love watching your videos :)

[@ajax3474]

According to my parents, when I was 4 I took a snake right out of it's cage (it was my dad's friend's. Not the best supervision). I feel bad for the snake. Ball python, I believe. Another time I held a baby cornsnake, with permission, at a pet store. We weren't there for pets, we were there for dog food. I was listening and paying attention, so I don't think I stressed the snake out. I don't have a good memory of it. Another time, we had a reptile program at school one day. Only a few kids at a time watching it. I held a very large snake, pretty sure it was an albino Burmese python. No orange, just yellow and white. We had almost five other people? Four adults, two kids. Lots of supervision (people who have worked with these reptiles for a VERY long time. Professionals.) to make sure no incidents happen. So, I can't relate to your snake fear. But, I definitely don't expect to get a pet to snake until I'm out of the house. My family plans on getting a cat. I don't want to have both in case something happens. And I have school. I don't trust my parents with proper snake care, and they'll most likely be at work anyways. Just wanted to share this with someone :P

[@itzjdub282]

[@searchfield]

[@kamencic]

Watching you handle green tree pythons one would think they are quite nice snakes with not too much of attitude. So glad I found this channel.

[@Rreeeee]

Depending on the breeder, locality, and personal temperament they can be very sweet animals. My Sorong is harmless during the day, wouldnt trust any GTP at night due to strong feeding response. Just practice common sense and they're very docile.

[@zoe547]

Great handling video, I love the fact you love these amazing reptiles. All the greens you handled looked extremely calm. been looking at the green tree pythons for a while now. this has really helped my decision on this beautiful looking snake. Thanks

[@SeanWalker-km8oj]

From what I've witnessed in videos, snakes that are kept to bred typically tend to have different temperaments that those kept for enjoyment. They are typically handled less, which means they are less used to being handled, which explains why they are more snappy. At the end of the day, snake handling is about trust. The technical stuff is important too but trust is much more important.

[@susie322]

I honestly love your videos so much! You explain everything so well and you seem so sweet and so smart. Even if I'm not looking for any particular information I just love watching your videos, specifically when I'm having bad anxiety it really helps.

[@rdm0108]

My gtp is 100% handleable. No striking, no biting and no defensive posture. Allows me to easily remove her from the perch and she coils around my wrist and fingers and simply chills out. She eats like a champ. I'm shocked that she's so calm. I regret naming her Die-Hard.

If you’ve never owned a snake, then you should really start out with a Ball Python or a Cornsnake. Green Tree Pythons are typically for more experienced snake owners that know how to handle and care for them specifically. Ball pythons can also be incredibly cheap!

It’ll make the people watching see the snakes as more than just something to be afraid of, or kill.

I have a question the enclosure that you put the first snake into looked quite barren? Do green tree pythons not need as much enrichment? Just curious!

[@foxwoodjones9831]

They said that they removed the foliage from the enclosure for the video, so that we could see them better. Typically they have some fake vines with leaves, hanging at the front, on either side, kind of like open curtains and then some kind of tropical substrate all across the bottom along with a water dish. They don’t use hides for the green tree pythons, that’s what the fake vines are for. They can hide behind them.
