My Collection: Rear Fanged Snakes

Here is a video of the snakes in my collection that are rear fanged.
Baron's Racers (Philodryas baroni)
Madagascar Cat-eyed Snakes (Madagascarophis colubrinus)
Black-headed Spotted Whip Snake (Hemorrhois ravergieri)
Correction: My whip snakes actually originate from Uzbekistan.

CORRECTION: My Black-headed Spotted Whip snakes are actually from a line out of Uzbekistan. Hard for me to keep my 'stans straight.

I just discovered you tonight, thanks to a link someone shared on a Colubrid page I follow on Facebook. Back in the 60's I was living in Malaysia, courtesy of the British Army, for three years. I cut my teeth on the snakes out there. One of my favourite common species out there was the Long-nosed whip snakes or tree snakes. They are rear-fanged and considered "harmless" They have those amazing elliptical pupils and adjacent grooves along the sides of the face that gives them binocular vision. They are the most interesting of snakes eternally curious and gentle. Non-biters. When picked up straight from the wild they offer no resistance and all they want to do is come close to your face and have a good look at you! Unnerving at first if you know nothing about them. I would be still keeping them today if it wasn't for the fact that they are lizard eaters. I had a constant supply of house geckos available for them Anyway nice to meet you, Glen. I have liked, subbed and rung the bell.

Hey Glen love your diverse collection. Can't wait to see what else you got. Really looking forward to your pits. Have a great holiday season.

[@glen_reptiles]

Thanks 👍

Awesome collection, been thinking about getting into baroni myself. Those are beautiful specimens, I wasn’t aware the females got such a substantial size.

[@glen_reptiles]

You should! They are great animals, and yes females get very large.

[@deepwaters7242]

Great video! I just found out about Baron Racer snakes and I fell in love! Although that Madagascar Cat Eye is so cool too...... I like your collection and vibe! How happy you are to handle your babies is beautiful. Subscribed and will watch more!

[@Theaddman]

Gorgeous snakes 🐍.

[@vintageme298]

Love those Barons , that blue is so nice.

[@glen_reptiles]

Agreed!

[@Roy_Camacho]

Wow! I just found this! This is one of the best snake videos I've seen. Such incredibly stunning snakes. So mesmerizing! Glory to God for his creation. Didn't even know some of these existed. No offense to the Royal Pythons but it is so nice to see such diverse species of snakes over diverse colors of the same exact Python.

Awesome Rear Fanged Snakes Glen i liked the green one at the beginning of the video

[@jackielliott5772]

you’ve convinced me to look into those cat snakes !! i always was under the impression cat snakes were bitey! cool to see otherwise

[@spotsandstripes2]

Nice collection 👍

[@jws6682]

Wow Glen your barons are getting huge

[@glen_reptiles]

Yeah Jess, that female is growing like crazy.

[@jws6682]

@@glen_reptiles yea she looks great I sent you a text about some snakes

[@zennozangetsu1164]

Beautiful snakes!!!

[@sodalines]

that racer kinda looks like a rhino rat snake. very nice collection brother

[@sauronthegreat489]

Do you ever breed/ sell the black headed spotted whip snakes by chance?? I love underrated reptiles and those definitely seem to fit the bill on that. I hadn't heard of them until now.

[@glen_reptiles]

I hope to produce babies in 2023 0r 2024.

[@krystalfrenchgeckos9535]

I have a Blue Baron's for Nick as well! I just did a video on a Bio-Active for Baron's with him.

[@he-mansuncle7661]

Do the snakes at 6:55 have any morphs? They have a dark albino color to them. I’m surprised you don’t see them on KZbin videos.

[@Ghosut6]

Hey, awesome collection !! But the sound isn't the best.

[@happybee7725]

Nice collection. I’v thought about getting some of those cat snakes but didnt bother. You got any boiga?

[@happybee7725]

@wakenbaker-uk no absolutely not! I don’t use bins. I’m of the opinion If you can’t kee an animal in an adequate vivarium don’t get them atall. I have some empty vivs set up but I don’t think I’m going to be getting anything as my circumstances recently changed

[@louv4437]

Those little whiptails are cool you know where I can purchase some?? Thanks!!

[@glen_reptiles]

Only a few people have them in the US. I got mine from Jonny Black out of NY.

[@DEAexotics]

great video I have so many questions

[@glen_reptiles]

That is the thing about this hobby, the more information you get, the more questions it raises.

[@DEAexotics]

@@glen_reptiles I agree

[@bluedeemster3259]

I'd love to get a banded or madagascar cat eye but they seem to be impossible to find

[@maconmemories3085]

Are any of these venomous? Does rear fanged mean mild venomous?

[@spotsandstripes2]

The venom has to be chewed in with the back teeth, it’s a mild venom (I believe modified saliva) that is more akin to bee or wasp venom than true venomous snake that deliver through front fangs, who’s venom will necrotise flesh or /and shut down your neural functioning…. this dosent mean that a person won’t have a reaction tho, some people get anaphylaxis after a bee sting

[@user-yb2od6yk7h]

Are there any seedlings for sale?

[@myerkord]

The last one looks like a Baby Bairds Rat
