I started watching your channel just before you began featuring Lilith. Her evolution from a frenzied, terrified animal to a calm and thinking cobra won me over. In retrospect, her progress was even more amazing given her health issues. I was grateful you provided a dignified and respectful end for a cobra that had a miserable, cruel, early life. I'm still mammal-centric, but enjoy watching people work with reptiles respectfully.

I look at non-venomous vs venomous snakes like freshwater vs marine aquariums. you can easily go your whole lifetime with freshwater and enjoy their beauty but for many people once you've gotten experience you realize that there's a whole other level of beauty and interest in the more complex ones. (and in both cases you typically don't go as fancy for the furnishings)

This is a good way to put it! I have both marine and fresh (this is Andy) and the complications with marine are atrocious compared to fresh lol. The only difference is, venomous will end you lol

For me seeing certain venomous owners i cringe when they do stupid things, yes stupid things win stupid prizes but the kids watching just how easy it is, laughing at near misses and bites. They will be the ones who copy and win those prizes. Healthy respect like Kevin teaches is the best way, or not at all.

I could not agree with this statement more. I think the way you present venomous snakes is closer to reality than other people on here. I also think the information is genuinely helpful, even after seven years on my own I still learn things from Kevin. I also wonder why people would want a venomous snakes for views? Why put your life on the line for some false sense of security, and comparing them to guns is a perfect comparison. I watch other channels and I can recall recently telling my kids that the gentleman in the video who was laughing about his near miss with his female Malaysian King, well his many near misses , and I told them how foolish this was to laugh about. I stated that one day the video won’t be titled “close call with a king” it’s gonna be a bite. Sure enough, he ended up bit less than a year later on a trip to India and almost dying. I love venomous snakes, they need to be represented for their capabilities and their consequences, and then appreciated safely with an experienced individual. I watch these videos and I love the content as I feel we need more education like this and less of the showboating. This video was great, thanks for sharing.

Idk why I thought you were in Tyler Nolan’s venomous snake room in the beginning. I LOVE cobras so much! I love how intelligent they are, they ALWAYS watch you! You and Tyler are two of the only people I’ve ever felt should own these animals, especially cobras. Thank you for always being so informative and passionate about animals ❤ I also really appreciate how honest you always are, saying how your snakes trust you but that that in itself gives a somewhat wrong impression to the viewers because snakes aren’t always like that. Your “threads of trust” system is SO important! It’s also important for venomous keepers to think about who else visits their home. While someone might be a great handler, mistakes do happen and you always have to consider who else could be directly effected if a snake were to escape.

I've always been had a passion for hots, but am only dipping my toes into the responsibility of ownership (a cottonmouth) this year, after much research and experience. I have sourced the nearest antivenin available and have a bite protocol, although it's not required in my state. Thank you for showing off Tabitha, I adore her! Remember people, use your tools! Keeping venomous isn't a gimmick, it's a huge responsibility!

I'd love to see more venomous videos that break down how to work with each individual species, and what behavioral quirks to watch out for while handling them, or working around them. It's really all about respect and trust building with these guys. With any reptile/animal, really. It's mind-boggling to me how many people work with these animals, but always seem to aggravate them to the point of panic, when there's absolutely no need for that. If you're chill, they're chill.

Thanks for the video Kevin… and New Camera Guy. Sorry I didn’t catch your name. I’ll go back and watch the part about you book! Congratulations on that. I definitely enjoy seeing the snakes and Kevin’s Vast knowledge of snake behavior and snake care. The CopperHead brings back memories of my Grandpa taking me to the compost pile to look for snakes. We flipped a big board and there was little baby snakes all over. Later that day at the swimming hole he told us to splash the water a bunch and started throwing rocks to the far side of the lake. Later… I was telling my mom about it and she asked why grandpa was throwing rocks? He said to scare the water moccasins that had started swimming towards us. Never got to go swimming with grandpa much after that. GooDTimeS!! Great Video Thanks Guys!! I subscribed about two years ago. Haven’t missed a video since. BeWell and StaySafe Everyone ✌️

Great lesson Kev! Inspiring the next generation of venomous keepers to do it safely, when it comes to handling I don't see an issue to free handling IF you do it correctly. Which the correct way would be doing so exclusively with well behaved individuals that you understand the behavior of. Like the king at 23:36. You probably wouldnt do that with a king you don't know or that you are aware has an attitude. While someone (especially newer keepers) shouldnt attempt it, if they so choose, they should choose their freehandler idols well (Not guys like Chandler or other venom cowboys who taunt them on purpose)

This may sound stupid but seriously im glad that the king cobra on top got upset about the other king cobra ONLY because as you said he wasn't acting himself today after seeing the first one so he was being more unpredictable than normal. I know upsetting any animal isn't the right thing to do but since you were trying to explain how they can behave in a bad way / defensive / aggressive way it was important that you showed that so people can see what some of the lighter sides of an upset snake can be like. In no way am I saying geez Kevin what did you go and make it mad for. I don't think that was your goal but I am saying thank you for showing us how to stay calm and use your tools to keep from being bit and to calm the animal down as best as possible given the situation you were in. I love all snakes! Doesn't matter to me if its bit could put me 6ft under or not it's really all about respect and awareness. I'm from the north east part of PA so I don't have cobra around but we have copperheads, timber rattlesnake, I believe we have diamond back rattlesnakes too but I think thats all really other than the non venomous types.... various kinds of garter snakes, brown snakes, corn snake, milk snake, ring neck snakes, water snakes, ribbon snakes.... not sure where you would place hognose snakes due to their adapted saliva I'm sure there probably are others here that I don't know about but for the most part where I live we just have harmless doodles However we do have a bazaar/fair thing every June right about the 13th to the 16th its always Thursday through Sunday and on the Sunday they have wild caught rattlesnakes and usually some copperheads too but they get documented and released where they were caught. Its a bit scary to know my house is very close to a huge rattlesnake den tho. If it were possible for you I think you should come see it one year Love the videos and the knowledge you have to share

The appeal of venomous snakes is easily understandable. Some of them are just unbelievably impressive and beautiful. Some are amazingly intelligent. And while being intrigued by the danger is a terrible reason to keep one, I think it's still psychologically something that you can wrap your head around even if it's not something that should guide one's actions. I think the first important thing to remember is that the well being of the animal needs to come first. If you haven't climbed the ladder and put in the thousands of hours of experience and mentorship, owning an animal like this is not only unsafe but it shows a lack of concern or respect for the animal itself. You can't just say "I'm willing to assume the risk." It's a risk to yourself, your neighbors and to the animal. If your own sense of thrill or toughness is more important than the life of the animal then you have no business keeping venomous snakes or frankly any animal. I do not have any intention of owning a hot reptile. They are so amazing. In my opinion the Gaboon Viper is on the short list for worlds coolest animal. But I know I'm not going to put in the time to do what it takes to learn how to safely independently care for one. So I can just enjoy from the side lines. Snakes don't exist so I can prove something about myself.

Something I only just registered after my previous comment; I was thinking how the cobra looked more like a viper than a cobra to me, and that might be because the vast majority of content (including handling content!!) that I see of cobras gets them hooded up -- again, for the sake of views. Keeping them calm and happy should be so much more common!

It's awesome watching you handle these venomous snakes, I wouldn't have the heart to try owning one honestly, Non venomous for me probably all my life but it's all good. I plan to keep a Corn snake and even then I'll have to study how they work and what not so that I'm not bothering the snake, just be as responsible as possible.

You are so right about all of us being ambassadors for the hobby. People still talk about the Stoneham, MA in 1996, where an irresponsible keeper let his cobra sun on the sidewalk, during the summer and it escaped and ended up in a nearby elementary school. Maybe if youtube was a thing back then and you were producing content he wouldn't have done it.

Great video. I've been a keeper for three decades, and recently flirted with going hot. I had a mentor who started me with basic hognose snakes, and then we went up the ladder to mangroves, vines, and false water cobras. Due to my experience, he put me in the "advanced beginner class" which dealt with rear fanged animals. His beginner class had students deal with more nervous non venomous, so people could learn the body language. When it came time for me to go to the advanced class, we worked with pit vipers found in the area (pygmy rattlesnakes, timbers, cottonmouths, and copperheads.) As well as other rattlesnakes. His expert class dealt with cobras and the old world vipers His words of advice were "if you're going to go hot, stay local, don't go for anything truly crazy, right off the bat, this way when you get tagged, the hospital will know how to treat the bite." I didnt go full into hot keeping But i use those lessons he taught me. One other thing I would add, is if you are a nimrod who gets his jollies freehanding venomous snakes for likes on social media, DON'T be a prick to other keepers (especially well known ones), because when you get tagged, your so called fellow hobbyists will turn against you and shun you.

This level of self-awareness should be respected and encouraged. I think part of it has to do with what you want out of a companion animal. You can't exactly sit down and watch a movie with your pet rattlesnake in your lap. The animal has to be the focus of your attention, every second it's not in its cage. I can see how some people really like that - it's almost like an extreme form of meditation.

First time i handled a snake, i probably was to fast in my movement since she took a dump all over me haha. Lesson learned. Great vid with lots of info, but i got to say that kings scare me. How they posture up and swing around so fast while growling. Venomous is not for me but they are super facinating. I'll stick to boa, balls and carpets.

Awesome video as always! I really like hots and hope one day I'll get to work with them. I love king Cobras and I've found that the species of snake which looks and acts the most like them is the Elpahe Carinate (Yonaguniensis), unfortunately that specific local is both expensive and rare in the united states and importing one from Japan is too much trouble at this time. But I got a Chinese locality in the mean time and he is just the biggest sweet heart ever. He's never struck at me, musked or lip curled. I always use my hands with him because he actually gets more stressed out by the snake hook compared to my hands. I've heard they're a good practice species for elapids because of their generally high defensive temperament and speed but man I have the most laid back guy ever lol. They're just an amazing species because of their diet as well. They eat cobras, kraits, vipers and monitor lizards in the wild like a king cobra would.
