The Gaboon's are my favorite! The wicked looks and lightening fast strikes! The way they hold the prey up and gobble it up without dropping or laying it down! Awesome!

Impressive King, and an awesome enclosure for him. I can’t wait to visit. You have some awesome snakes.

[@harpers1niter]

Great video well worth the wait! Diesel is getting so long it's crazy. The Gaboons are my favorite to watch strike. Tyler Nolan posted a video a couple days ago where his Gaboon struck so hard, it blew one of it fangs off. It is so cool to watch. Can you tell where the Gaboon is looking? Their eyes are so strange. I have never seen one in person. Do they look at you? Can you tell they are looking at you? Is it hard to keep them hydrated? Thanks Willy!!

[@markheitz7963]

Does the Gaboons eye's recess when they strike almost similar to the bushmasters scale that lifts in order to protect its eye, it's just when I was watching them strike ( I say watching more of jumping backwards ) I was just wondering if that's the case

[@VenomCentral]

We are noticing that a lot of things with the SLO MO including the supralabial scale or eye shield raising up - so its something that needs a study or research to prove the theory but great catch! We have seen it too.💪

[@CFarnwide]

Ive seen another documentary that claims a gaboons pupils will dilate rapidly and they shift their eyes trying to mimick some kind of small moving treat for prey and pull them in to strike range.

[@VenomCentral]

They tick tock back and forth rapidly, and like the caudal lure of the tail of an agkistrodon baby, or the tongue of a snapping turtle-- it's the bright color and isolated movement that brings in it's intended prey. There's a great research project!! Anything that's an unproven theory makes a great topic for research but most PhD candidates are thinking life-saving topics. We're always up for interesting, if only we had more time! Always great comments! Thanks brother.

[@markwebster5749]

Cool catch Mark 👍🇬🇧

[@truthseeker6584]

Awesome video! It is such a pleasure to see Diesel again - I have watched him from the start and he has gotten huge now! His exhibit already looks wonderful, can´t wait to see him in his personal jungle. And as always: The Gaboons are incredible, watching them going for the prey item never gets old. Thanks for so much outstanding entertainment!

[@paulgrech6701]

Awesome work guys. Needed a pick me up. Crappy news overnight with Shane Warne passing overnight feels like the whole country is on mourning today. And he is a Melbourne boy proud Victorian so its hitting even harder here. But back to the King and Gaboons cant wait to visit - I think its looking like last week October. One day sightseeing SC - 3-4 days at the Centre spending quality time with Diesel and vipers - all the good stuff you cant do in Australia :)

[@VenomCentral]

Sorry to hear that too - so young, damn younger than us anyway! Glad we could take your mind off things - and we'll keep you busy and entertained while you are here, just let me know when you lock down dates so I can close out my schedule when you're here! Thanks so much for everything - Diesel thanks you too!💪

love the work you do. I have been hooked on spending my coffee time in the morning at work watching mainly your vids. I am absolutely hooked on your vids. I have to say that the Gaboon Viper has become my all time favorite venoms snake. Don't know why but there just amassing. I think its that huge head that i love watching especially when they light up on a rat man they hit that thing for real. I am a new fan of yours and will donate soon. Keep up your amazing work much appreciated. How can i order a shirt.

[@ericbeeman8717]

If one had the room it would be pretty cool to see a tank built that has a water feature on one side possibly a waterfall to partial rock mountain the fall comes off of to a small river running g through the front or half n half then in one spot a dirt and rock hill that has a couple hides built in and some live plants all over for that outside vibe and then the hides have on the sides a window so ya can see em but it doesn't hurt the whole hill and u can also pull the window and get the animal out and have a couple hides slots u can block the animal in the hide also to clean the tank out

[@VenomCentral]

If we had the funds to put in plumbing, drainage etc it would be very cool. But water has a way of creating bigger problems down the road, best to keep all the critters needs pools in a separate area and all together for ambient humidity sake! Great thoughts though! Thanks Eric always appreciate your support and great comments. 💪👍💯

[@pnwanglers5658]

Hey brother I’m curious to know what your feeding schedule is for sub adult gaboons and adults. Some say once a month or twice a month. Also would love to know where you purchase your gaboon viper Antivenin. Thank you and love the channel can’t stop hitting that like button. 🤙

[@VenomCentral]

I feed my Gaboon vipers Every 4-6 weeks for the adults and a little more for the sub-adults, but I really don't keep anything on on a constant schedule, I feed on a "broken" schedule... Sometimes they get more, sometimes less, similar to nature. Times of plenty, and times that are lean. I kinda just look at a snake and determine if it needs to be fed or not. Also, I keep a stock of Saimr polyvalent for African species. It's produced by SAVP - you can google it and they have a website with contact info. (As long as you can import and have your BB-IND. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel! Glad you enjoy the videos 🙏💪👍🐍💯

There's a bushmaster snake series up now! Check it out. And I only like to use my own photos so it takes a while sometimes to get the right pic for miss Dee to make a t-shirt design out of it!

[@dafyddlloyd868]

I've never heard the term "west african" applied to gaboon vipers/adders before...they're widespread across africa, and can be found even here where I live on the east coast of south africa. we just call them gaboon vipers (or adders). seems odd!

[@VenomCentral]

It's the taxonomy, that split them into 2 species. It used to be 2 subspecies- East African Gaboon Viper was Bitis gabonica gabonica and West African was Bitis gabonica rhinoceros. Now the taxonomists have decided that they are 2 distinct species. Thanks for watching and sharing your story! 👍🐍💯🙏

[@dafyddlloyd868]

@@VenomCentral oh, that's interesting! so...the guys you have there are a different species to the ones we have here? I had no idea! thanks for the info. great channel too!

No African species are African species, it's just taxonomists that make the rules that make it so confusing! 💯💪🙏👍

[@StripedPythonsMatter]

Interested in sponsoring a cage.

[@KingK2016]

If it's good to move prey while feeding them, why not just live feed?

[@VenomCentral]

Variety of reasons, I feed whatever I feel the snake needs at that time. If they are in need of a good hunt and a boost to their psyche, and I have the appropriate prey size available, they eat live. But live rodents are expensive and I am very unlikely to buy pet store rodents that I have no idea if they're free from the nasty stuff that they transmit. There's also the fact that they are a formidable opponent and some snakes will suffer bites etc and not fight back against a fiersome rat. I have an entire playlist live feeding, if you're interested! I appreciate your support and thanks for watching! 💪👍🐍💯🙏

[@poserxposer]

Dude don't embarrass yourself. Asking the Master Snake Whisperer a stupid question ❓❓ You think itd be okay a rare conservation type snake gets a fatal bite from a nasty rat❓ dude he feeds live when it's called for watch his vids b4 you open your mouth

[@VenomCentral]

Several reasons for feeding/using the prey items I do. Safety of the snakes is #1, whether it be from the rats teeth or the ability to successfully breed rats or get live rats that are clean and the sizes I need, without spending 25 each. I do what's best for my snakes, not what gets views, but I do share live feeding videos when I have them. There's an entire playlist on my channel. Most of them are for research so they're even timed for venom toxicity and fatality of prey. Thanks for watching! 💪👍💯🐍

[@richardchapman5956]

Hi guys been meaning to ask have you ever had the bite and hold vipers take the bait then drop it and take a run at you or any of the snakes you work with? Just wondering?

[@VenomCentral]

Every single interaction with venomous is different. There's certain behaviors that are similar enough to collect data but there's no room for complacency ever. Never been bitten. Never had an escape. Safety first! Always. Thanks for watching!
