I’m glad Boas were on the intermediate list because of their size. I saw a big KZbinr promoting them as good beginner snakes and so many people just underestimate how much room an eight foot tank will take up in three years or how much a rabbit every month will cost. Seriously as exciting as it is, it’s best to go with a smaller snake at first, no matter how prepared you think you are.

[@JMoore68]

Dude. If you're feeding rabbits to a Boa, you are REALLY over feeding them. Boas, especially the dwarf subspecies are excellent beginner snakes.

[@malevolentsnow9867]

@@JMoore68 I don't own any boas, I was just going based off what I see them and many others feed larger boas. Like I said I was going off of the size of the snakes, as you need to drastically increase their tank size as they can reach great sizes. A lot of big snakes are surrendered because people bought them while they were small and no longer want to keep them once they require a tank that will take up a lot of space.

[@alexcrowder1673]

@@malevolentsnow9867 boas are big, but not like BIG if that makes sense. I think they are great for beginners as long as you are a dedicated sort of person. They arent super smart though. So there are better options IMO.

[@alexcrowder1673]

Honestly even a bearded dragon costs more to keep and takes more effort to keep. Boas are fine for beginners as long as they can dedicate the time and space.

If you're scared of snakes, I advise looking for wild ones and first observing them from a safe distance, and once you feel more brave, find a gentle species like a hognose or earth snake and try holding it on your own :)

[@leathertophat2705]

What size tanks would you recommend for a boa as I may soon be in a position to own one?

[@whimsicalclouds]

@@leathertophat2705 It depends on the age and gender, generally speaking you want a tank that the snake can fully stretch out in though. Currently my young male is in a 3ft enclosure but he's almost outgrown it already, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a 6ft enclosure. There's plenty of sites online that go into depth on the best sizes so I would recommend looking there, hope this helps 😊

[@leathertophat2705]

@@whimsicalclouds OK thank you

[@TheVulcanBard]

I got a hognose for my first snake a week ago. I've only heard about the good stuff for keeping them and repeatedly got them recommended to me as a beginner snake. It's nice getting your information about picky eating and possible problems to look out for. I don't regret getting her at all but it's great to have a more nuanced expectation for my snake keeping

[@purplealice]

When my son was in middle school, I put him into an "adventure day camp" run by a local wildlife/nature refuge. They got to see and handle all sorts of creatures. The center owned a large boa constrictor named Cuddles. When they were going to take Cuddles out of his tank and let the kids play with him, I declared myself an honorary kid and held up about one foot of snake. One of the volunteers was afraid to touch Cuddles - she said, "But aren't snakes slimy?" and I said "Not at all. The skin feels like an alligator-skin pocketbook, dry and almost soft. Jut put your hand on him." She did, and she was surprised. Cuddles really lived up to his name :-)

[@sta_rfields]

I'm getting a hognose in a few weeks, we've got an amazing breeder picked out, but this video made me realize that there's more than just the typical smaller snakes. Like, I had never even considered a boa or burm as an option and I had honestly forgotten they exist, and now I think that I'll look into saving up for one once I do more research (and more experiencewith snakes, as this hognose will only be my 3rd snake ever). I had a family member who had an albino burm and she was gorgeous, but she had lost an eye when she was a year or so due to being fed live and the eye getting scratched then infected and had to be removed. She's still alive I believe, but she's about 27 years old if I remember correctly. Anyways, thank you guys for making this video! I love all your stuff!

Both tarantula and hognose “venom” is comparable to a bee sting. Yet in Illinois you need a permit to own a hognose because they’re technically venomous but not a tarantula which are definitely venomous. Doesn’t make sense to me

[@stevensanders6696]

Probably because not everyone thinks immediately of a tarantula as a pet AND add on the fact that not all tarantulas have medically significant venom. Usually that's only Old World tarantulas. I've had to learn the difference pretty well because my roommate owns 16 tarantulas

Tarantulas all have varying degrees of venom. Some, like the Cobalt Blue, can cause mild to severe cramping while there are also tarantulas that their venom can cause organ shutdowns. As someone who works with and owns tarantulas, I have no clue why we don't need permits for some.

Your videos have helped me so much in figuring out what snake to get as a first time owner. I know that hognoses are sort of in between, but you (along with other reptile channels and breeders, etc) have been so incredibly informative that it has totally helped my process. I had other snakes in mind but didn't realize their level of difficulty until I watched these. Thanks, Emily! I can't wait until you have your waitlist open!!!

Could you maybe in future videos mention how old the snakes get? Like when most people get a cornsnake they won't know they can get a 40+ years, and I don't know how old Boas usually get

[@junipberbugsie9266]

boas usually get to be about 20-30 years old. sometimes if you're really lucky you'll maybe get 35 years, I think the oldest recorded boa was about 40 years, but usually it'll be around 20-30, with 23-26 being most common

[@carmenbaby]

@@junipberbugsie9266 thanks!! I'm seriously considering rescuing one, but need the proper preparations of course and this is part of it. I think this type of info would be more important for people not knowing anything about snakes and considering getting one, thinking they'd 'be rid of it' in a couple of years or something like people do with a lot of other animals

[@braunvieh1416]

Corns actually usually only live around 15-20. Oldest ive heard of is 23. BC type boas typically make it to 20-25. Oldest i know of was 31. Im fairly certain ball pythons are the only snakes that can reach and exceed 40 years. 25-35 years is normal for ball pythons and the oldest snake ever was a 48 year old BP

[@caitolent]

Hi Carmen, I just got my first corn snake in July this year. It was very expensive. I opted to go straight for a 40 gallon glass tank (rather than purchase a small one for him as a baby, and then a larger one for when he got bigger). That was over $200 by itself, but plastic tubs are cheaper. The whole journey cost me about $500, with substrate and hides and enrichment and food and heat mats and temperature guns and thermostats all accounted for. The snake itself cost me quite a bit, because I got a special morph, but they can usually be sold for 20 to 50 dollars. But I really love my little guy, he is so sweet. He eats well, he's healthy, he's curious. Life expectancy seems to vary wildly depending on the expert you're asking, but the general consensus seems to be that corn snakes live between 15 and 20 years at best. Make sure you do your research and buy from a reputable breeder, rather than from a large name like Petco or PetSmart, because a good breeder will handle snakes early and let you know what you can expect from the breed, morph, and lineage.

[@BringDeathByPickles]

Another KZbinr (GoHerping) He rescued a BCI Boa named "Rosie" from where she had been a "classroom snake" here she had spent many years basically neglected, not given a heat source of any kind and she had been underfed as well. They also thought she was aggressive too...but nope! Turned out she was a sweetheart even AFTER she had been basically mistreated ...ugh, it broke my heart this baby had suffered like that all those years. Now she's a happy girl and has heat and all the food she needs :) but my point is how sweet she was even after years of abuse and I hope people would look to a rescue as a source to find their BCI /BCC boas. Great video Emily!!!

Oh, my first snake is most _definitely_ going to be babied as much as a snake can. _Especially_ if it's as cute as a hognose. I remember the egg-eating snakes from the room tour! Once you got them going, you couldn't get them to stop! All of their adaptations are so cool. BCIs are the biggest I'm willing to go with snakes. I always hear such good things about them and heaven knows I need a slow enough snake to catch. I really think you should have shown just how big 17-20ft is. Olive Oyl is still only about half the adult size and doesn't quite spectacularly show how long the adults are. They're absolutely beautiful snakes, but they are a _lot_ of snake. My parents hate snakes, so I'm not allowed to have them even if I'm paying them rent. But once I'm solidly out, I'd love to keep a small variety of snakes. The first one will be either a ball python or a corn snake. Once I'm comfortable with them, then I'd love some garters.

[@capricornycacophony9764]

Personally, I would love to get one of the huge snakes like the burmese or the boa, but I definitely don't have the room. Maybe eventually I will... I'd honestly love to have a massive adult snake and have their enclosure pretty much take up an entire wall, with tons of space to stretch out and climb, and have the whole thing be bioactive. It'd be like having a living wall. Anyways, I don't even have my first snake yet, my grandma had previously said absolutely no snakes while I'm in her house, but recently she changed that to a maybe, so hopefully in the next year or so I can get my first snake, which will most likely be a ball python. They're my top favorite snake ever.

[@Sevness]

Good advice and wonderful tips on snakes, most of all the Burmese Pythons, they are really docile and chill, the only time our 11ft albino we rescued ever bit anyone, was because handling prey and not washing hands, and one time, escaping from a cage, and someone's foot was poking out from under a blanket as they slept, and being blind, he struck at it thinking it was food. It was a scary wakeup call, but no perm damage was done and they all had a bit of a laugh about it afterward. But the most important info is to always have someone else around when handling them because they can accidentally kill people by squeezing around the neck too hard or cutting off circulation. They don't mean to, but they can do it by accident, same with Reticulated Pythons, which are a bit more "aggressive" compared to Burmese Pythons, and of course anacondas can be at risk of that too if you aren't careful.

I have a Columbian Boa named Delores! She’s absolutely one of my favorite snakes of the 5 I have (3 Ball pythons, and a Brooks Kingsnake are the others). She’s only 5 months old, but a calm and docile little noodle, and yes, maybe a little dumb 😂 Can’t wait for her to grow up and get huge! I want to have her enclosure be almost an entire wall with branches for her to climb (she loves the one she has already), and a bioactive setup. I love all your videos, Emily! So much helpful information and your presentation is just excellent. I’d love to get a Woma if you ever have babies for sale!

I would love a BCC sometime in the future ❤️ most of them have the perfect temperament and are a "big snake". The normal coloration is also very stunning, especially with the contrasting red tail. It's my dream to own one in a huge enclosure that takes up a whole wall so it can sit and chill and watch the happenings around the place.

I was watching this video and started thinking about where to keep my hognose and my MBK when I get them (cause It's illegal to have reptiles in my country, so I need to move to another country) and I saw the Tank vs. Tub video...Snake Discovery really has a video for EVERYTHING...I really love this channel

[@sighrd]

@Snake Discovery You mentioned how Woma Pythons have some variation in coloration and markings. A lot of that variation comes from their original locality. They are endemic to a HUGE area throughout the arid center but as Australia dried out more in it's geological past it created populations isolated from each other. The Tanami Desert Womas tend to be very dark with black coffee colored banding while the queensland localities have thin banding and an almost lemon coloration. My favorite is the South Australian Womas which are pale silver with very muted banding and can reach lengths of 7 feet.If you get a chance check out Tanami, Uluru, Queensland and South Australian locality types

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ-ufomniqh2gJI Here you go. IN my personal opinion, I love Leopard Gecko's. They are active at dusk and dawn, the times you want to see them, come in a multitude of colors, are easy to find, affordable, don't get as big, thus need as much space as the bigger reptiles, are very handable without being jumpy, and overall are just awesome. They even eat their calcium powder as needed so if you are a bit lazy over dusting your insects, as long as they have a bottle cap with powder, they are good. I could go on for hours about them.

[@UchihaSumairu]

I got my first snake (that I didn't just randomly catch as a kid)! A ball python we named her Aryll! She is a lesser vanilla and SUPER cute. I was really nervous from all the information that she wouldn't eat. I seem to be super lucky because I noticed she INSTANTLY was calm after taking her out of the bag. She started calmly exploring my hands and between my fingers without any heavy breathing or strike pose. I put her in the enclosure and she checked it out for about an hour and used the bathroom and drank some water. She looked so calm so i was shocked. I decided to try and feed her (why not right?) she went right after the food lol. She missed 2 strikes and then got it the third time curling it up. After she got the f/t rat pup she tried to find the head for like 5 minutes and then gave up though.. So anyways I brought that up because I found out why! Apparently if you don't warm the FT rat enough the snake will have trouble aiming especially as a young snake and may become disinterested faster. I was thawing to 80 worried too hot might hurt her. 2 days later I tried again and warmed the rat to about 90ish under a heat emitter after thawing in warm water to 80ish (in a plastic bag so it doesn't get wet). then i put the face close to the heat emitter and let it warm up to 95ish before offering to her. she instantly got it and ate it! No misses or anything this time and she could clearly tell a rat was coming as the emitter must have put the smell in the room for 10-20 minutes. Now I just want to see if she sheds properly. I live in Florida so humidity isn't a problem at all (unless you are HUMAN!!!!). the enclosure sits at 66% with aspen so i hope everything goes well! if not I'll take your advice from another video and try out a humidity box!

[@pivinne5536]

Curious Wars aspen can be very dusty which can cause respiratory issues and can also mould if you’re not careful! I’m not saying your set up is bad because you’ve clearly done a lot of research but cypress mulch or something similar may be better for your pets :^)

[@UchihaSumairu]

@@pivinne5536 yeah I'll try that too. I was just worried that with the humidity being so high already that adding something that holds moisture so much better could cause it to be too wet. I'll definitely check It out because I've also seen that they can accidentally swallow Aspen more easily as well :) so far she's been good but I want to make sure everything is good
