I really appreciate Kevin taking the time to really walk the audience (and his employees) through snake handling, letting them making mistakes but keeping them out of any serious danger. I don't have any retics, but I do have a boa imperator that came from some impressively large parents. While this snake is small I've been using the handling techniques Kevin shows because I know they'll be helpful when the snake is a mature adult.

[@blacklotusxxxxxx]

Oooh I couldn't go that big. I adore them but those teeth. But boas have tiny teeth right? Still. Too heavy lol!

[@sdlinachu]

​@@blacklotusxxxxxx Nonvenomous snakebites as a whole look a whole lot worse than they actually are. Honestly though, excluding when in feeding mode, my boa is the sweetest and most tolerant of all my snakes when handling. The biggest challenge with handling him will definitely be his strength rather than his weight, as at even 2.5 feet he's much stronger than an equally or larger-sized ball python.

[@bjspyder4148]

I love when the snakes look like they're listening to Kevin's lecture.

[@BTN1979BoBo]

Love how you always explain things, i'm always smarter after watching NERD vid's. You explain stuff very well. Thank you Kevin and NERD.

There’s nobody better at teaching about reptiles than Kevin. I swear I could watch him speak about this stuff for hours! You can tell he’s found his calling in life, and I’m very appreciative of all the knowledge he generously gives us!

[@AlexsAgamids]

I really liked learning the "history" of the piebald reticulated pythons. Pretty cool learning how it started with Mike and then Bob truly "founded" it within the hobby. Ya learn something new everyday! Keep up the awesome content!

[@kimwignall8070]

I love how Kevin explains everything that even I can understand haha. I like that he talks to you and not talks down to you. Thank you this was so interesting x

I could listen to Kevin talk about snakes 🐍 all day, so educational. I find it so amazing how he can read and know what his snakes are feeling at any point in time.

[@thunderrain789]

Any time I see one of these guys curiously tongue flicking at the camera like that my heart just melts. Even the really big snakes are just so adorable to me.

[@christinekilroy3104]

I really can listen to Kevin talk all day and night about reptiles in general, be it retics, monitors etc. Thank you Kevin for just being so passionate and so willing to teach all of us who want to learn everything we can! And also thanks to Donny who always puts his heart and soul into these videos and also to Gianni who is willing to appear and talk in these videos ❤️

I love listening to Kevin teach about the snakes actions and behavior. It has really taught me snakes are not something to fear but are amazing animals that deserve our respect and understanding.

[@karolendvay7561]

That was a very informative and well explained breeding video of which I truly learn a lot!! Retics look sturdy but are apperently quite delicate in their breeding process. Thanks for this!! Hope you all,including the animals, have a happy, healthy and successful 2021... ❤️🇳🇱

[@loriw2661]

I love these “Kevin educational” videos. I learn more in 10-15 minutes than I have in my whole life, regarding reptiles. And that’s saying something since I’m 59! Lmao!!🐍🦎🐢🐊

[@SapphirasMama]

It was fantastic to listen to. Reminded me of when I was at university completing my Bachelor of Zoology. The only difference is that this is on reptiles that are banned here in Australia.

[@kitsune0rei]

I love this long video of Kevin educating! Wonderful! It clearly shows the snake's behavior and Kevin is explaining it. I like to try to read the snake as he is talking about it. It's amazing how important temperature is to egg development.

[@TheCantr002]

As a woman, I totally relate to the crankiness of these snakes. Some days, it just be like that 🐍😜 lol

[@piercehawke8021]

The problem is, one can't feed chocolate to a 'cranky' snake. :)

I rewatch your content so much just to fully understand all the fire info kevin puts out

[@bkm2797]

Kevin, fascinating class on retics their breeding cycles and personality changes. Recently I watched a segment of Bondi Vet about a green tree python (female) with respiratory issues, and lg. Pinkish blue sores on her belly, she looked so ill even to me. After an ultrasound they decided to open her up and found her entire follicular structure had died, the vet was pulling this necrotic mess out in long pieces, very sad this little python didn't recover. Always feel like I've learned something new so Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@k.d.1050]

The first snake is my spirit animal. I also have anxiety & I'm a brat.

[@aislingburgess1601]

Wow that’s very interesting you treat the GI.. which then helps the lung because her overall immune system improves.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Exactly!!! I tried to get people to understand that you should like for reason if the problem. If we treat the bacterial problem without addressing the cause of stress it just doesn’t always fix it! Thank you. Kevin

I cant believe how Intelligent he is . Im glad he is so willing to pass on his knowledge. I really enjoy watching him . All of yall keep it up . Keep the content coming

[@scrubjay93]

You can learn so much from Kevin and much of it can be applied to birds and mammals as well, like skipping a season when resources are scarce, etc. So you are all smarter than you even think, lol. The apprentice is getting better at snake handling :) The pied girl was great for learning more snake body language.

[@user-wz8kj6ly9u]

There's no one better. Thank you so much for sharing what youve learned through your hard work with us.

[@niki3590]

Amazing information and getting to follow along in the breeding process is so awesome! I love that you stand back, observe and then approach the situation as a whole when something is showing signs of illness. Now are boas that easy to palpate or is it a different process due to being live bearers? I know they just incubate the eggs internally but I wasnt sure if the process was therefore different or if most of the process is equal across most species.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

I palpate boas in the same manner. K

[@lisakay2810]

Love these videos, I could listen to Kevin talk about snakes and other animals for hours!

[@anthonyhewgley5543]

i don't like to use the word skinny i say they're "fighting fit." i like to try to simulate wild feeding habits for my boa and colubrids. i cant provide the variety of species but i can vary the size and amount of prey. snakes don't always get a medium rat every other Tuesday in the wild. depending on time of year, availability of prey, and the species available they may eat 2 or 3 small meals a week or a single large meal once a month or anything in between. i personally prefer more frequent small meals with the occasional large meal the snakes still get the same weight of food as they would if i fed once every/every other week but because they aren't stuffed to the brim they stay active looking for that next meal. which i belive helps encourage exercise and natural behavior.
