These Pet Snakes WIll NEVER Bite You!

[@8fuzzybuzz]

Love the line IF IT HAS A MOUTH CAN BITE YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS A DOG, CAT, SNAKE, GIRLFRIEND DOESN'T MATTER ... that made me laugh and had me hooked to watch the video 😂😂😂😂🎉

[@brandibastian4193]

I love that you included girlfriend on that list

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I mean, accurate haha

[@bw4593]

We had a 19ft Burmese female growing up. It was the most chill snake ever, basically had free roam of my sisters room, but she was an adult when we got her and was always fed live food. We couldn’t really stomach that so we’d have to put her in her cage and wiggle a dead rat or rabbit for her, and it was always terrifying, but she was smart enough to know when it was time to go in her cage it was time to eat. If she went in there to drink or bathe though you’d have to stay away or she’d strike at anything that moved. Once she was out of her csge she was completely harmless and cuddly

[@simonevernon106]

I’ve heard that Florida kings have a reputation for being bitey, I had one for 13 years and he never bit. I was probably lucky, he has a wonderful temperament and loved being held RIP Soloman.

[@zyxwfish]

Yes please do a video on snakes most likely to bite. Common water snakes are super bitey!

[@squid4399]

I love how you got each snake out as you talked about them I really hope you continue to do that in the future

[@lorrainemunoa791]

I've got what might be the world's chompiest Ball Python, but he only does it because he's also the world's HUNGRIEST ball python. Boy has a Boa appetite, but when he's not in food mode? he's a sweetheart. The trick is the Snake Hook. Lift him into the air with that and he goes, "Oh? Playtime? Not food time? Oh. Cool."

[@bnutz3k]

Good call not listing hognoses, imho. I'm still convinced they will never bite defensively, but I've gathered from reading about other keepers' experiences that they're hungry little buggers and will take a chomp eventually. Same thing with rosy boas. Mine tried to eat my friend! Always wash hands with any snake, preferably with some scented soap, and they probably won't try to eat you. All that said, a couple of my hognoses act super angry sometimes and they only headbutt. :D

[@alyssafigliano3994]

Can absolutely attest to spotted pythons! I admit I don't handle mine as much as I should, and yet every time I go to take her out she never even tries to bite. I got her as an adult and I don't know much of her history (only that she was part of a large collection being sold on behalf of someone getting out of the hobby) so whether she was socialized young or just is naturally a pleasant snake is up in the air. Either way she's a joy to interact with and a credit to her species as pets!

[@clistiarobinson34]

Never say never but yea I agree these are the ones that won't bite or if it does its because of food aggression and it can be tamed out of it. Great vlog today see you again next week have an awesome weekend

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Right on!!!!

[@bkm2797]

The Rubber Boa looks a lot like a legless lizard,lol, at least the one Brian has. Great mini class, thanks Adam.

[@nayazindagi9960]

Love that you include Australian snakes and know the restrictions we have! Sadly, here in Western Australia, we cant own spotted pythons as they are only from the east and we are not allowed to import from out of state. We do have antaresia though. I have 5 pygmy pythons and 7 stimsons pythons.

[@BloodOcean666]

It's good to mention that most of small snakes even if they bite they don't have enough force for bite to hurt. It's more like a smack with sharper than usual velcro. Examples are corn snakes, garter snakes and other small colubrids, Lampropeltis have a bit stronger jaws than corn snake for example.

[@critterkeeper5099]

Had a 6.5 ft. female red tail that i took to talks i gave to cub scouts. She would handle all those little hands, that didn't exactly treat her with the respect she deserved, like it was no big deal. I got her as a rescue and she took very little work to be an amazing girl to work with.

[@ashersamphibiansandreptiles]

Rubber boas are so cool! People need to talk more about them! Great video Adam!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Totally agree!

[@markastorm7335]

Apologies for hopping on your comment, it's the only way KZbin will let me comment. Speaking of cute and small, is there a video yet on snakes that stay on the smaller side? What about the least likely to musk?

[@vanessavieux7283]

You are the best KZbin ever have a awesome day have a cool day have a wonderful day good job Wicked wickens reptile

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Wow, thank you!

[@tarantu-leah]

I absolutely love my bcc! His name is Winston and he's never bitten anything other than food. Great video!

[@A_freaking_idiot__]

Wow, I don’t even know how much I’ve learned from your channel! Thanks bro!❤

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Happy to hear that!

[@karenrosenberger1321]

I have a Ball Python and he's NEVER tried to strike or me AT ALL and I've had him for just over a year now. He's an absolute sweetheart!! Love him so much!!

[@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr]

They're called ball pythons because their first defense is turning into a ball followed by fleeing or musking, biting is far down the list for them.

[@sharkkeeper01]

I’ve NEVER had a ball python even open it’s mouth to EVER. I have, however, been bitten once by my female bearded dragon. I have been bitten twice by female rats…but never a ball python. I kind of don’t trust Burmese pythons…I’m sure they’re great…but they are crazy big and make me uncomfortable…so I’ll pass on them and retics. The largest I will go is a rainbow boa.

[@karenrosenberger1321]

@sharkkeeper01 I completely understand. I couldn't own a Burmese or a Retic either, I know I wouldn't be able to physically handle one nor do I have the space for one.

[@Sushi_King-YT]

Even a girlfriend will bite u 💀

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

That's accurate!

[@tzeneth]

I was disappointed you didn't make a follow up joke when you were talking about situations you could be bitten. Thought you might make a cheeky "or if you're into that" or something to reference the previous girlfriend joke.

[@KirstyMPearson]

If you ask nicely 😈

[@RonSims216]

Never been bitten by a girlfriend yet

[@NotEnoughReptiles]

I dont want a girlfriend anymore 😂

[@VillianousKitty]

I thought you'd a hognose at the start and was like "okay, unlikely to actually bite but they will TRY!!" 😂 For me, the best snake for not biting are corn snakes, I've only ever met one that was nippy. I worked with a Burmese that we handled from when we got him as a baby but he's too food obsessed now, I've had a load of near misses with him, he's a 13ft menace...

[@Midwest_Lizard_Mom]

I hate when my husband makes a mistake and I have to bite him. 😅

[@hazelgrunts]

I got a ball python partly because of your videos, and he’s an absolute sweetie ❤️

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

My neighbor had a house full of all kinds of pythons. They would bite the shit out of him quite often. It was quite the show to watch. He was a combat veteran. They brought him peace and money. But man they would tear him up. He has very strong pain tolerance. So he would just curse them out and then come show me his scars. I would laugh at him and henwould offer beer in return. Very strange guy but awsome. Wouldnt let a soul touch me either lol.

[@zacg_]

I was gonna guess the Mouthless Prairie Adder, the Asian Toothless Python, the Headless Mountain Cobra, and the Jawless Keeled Kingsnake.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

hahahahaha

[@StephanieRenaeReptiles]

So glad to see dumerils boas on your channel again. You inspired me to get one. She was pretty small when I got her and it took a while to get her eating. She’s been a little nippy but we’re working on it. I absolutely adore her.

[@Darkshizumaru]

As kids, we used to handle wild garter snakes, and typically, they didn't even musk. None of us ever got bit by one. We were, of course, not handling them every day, but in general, a lot of garter snakes are just wired to flee anyway. They were breathing a little heavy for a few seconds when we lifted a rock. No striking and no real hostility. We were just wild kids, so we didn't know we shouldn't mess with the rocks back there, but eh, it was our backyard, so it's really not like we were in the woods harassing the wildlife in a bad way. Those rocks were fair game. Since in the wild they were chill, I would say the domestic well handled garters are even more chill. Those were I believe a north-eastern ribbon garter breed that we kids were checking out. Always let them go after naturally. I wouldn't say they are more friendly than the list, but man if there was a number 6 or 7, I'd but them there with the egg eaters

[@SuperSavage35]

Not so sure on the Spotted Pythons, my two will instantly try and eat anything that is warm, moves or looks at them funny 🤣. My Bredls on the other hand is the most chill snake ever and just wants to explore.

[@charredparsley631]

Same here, my Bredl doesn't realise foods in front of him until we rub his lips with food. Our spotted is a sassy bub despite constant handling, if you get her out on the wrong day she's gonna nip ya.

[@Me_1983-]

I also have found San Luis Potosi Mex Mex kings are so so so sweet and gentle, i find they have a way less aggressive feeding response to other kings as well and are just chill. I have one in my collection and it's the one i always let a kid hold first and never have a concern.

[@GovTag]

This video made more confident around a few snakes I’ve always been on edge around snake cause I used to deal with copperheads and cottonmouths

[@morphlix]

YES! Finally someone said it. Breeders should be socializing if selling as pets. If they don't have the time they are breeding too many simple as that. Need to have a good balance. And don't sell a snake that isn't socialized and you know is a biter to someone that is getting it for a child. I've had some really bad experiences

[@davidreynolds9375]

I adore rubber boas! I've recently adopted one as well as a Kenyan sand boa and neither are bitey, aside from feeding time. Super easy to care for too.

[@finmand1338]

Burmese are great, had one bite me on accident (I held the rabbit) was a8 ft and I swear to this day he pulled back and sat stared at me like "sorry". Great snakes!

[@emersonb5764]

Definitely want to see your top 5 that will bite. In my experience #1 is Vietnamese blue beauty rat snake. Though I’ve been bitten more by wild caught eastern milk snakes, because they’re native to my work area and I’ll catch and release them when I see them. But I reckon wild caught shouldn’t count. As far as captive, my green tree python nipped me twice, but she was a bit stressed out, I was helping her shed. She’s a sweetheart any other time. Though I’ve heard otherwise from other GTP keepers.

[@ExburneLightDarkness]

I have a beautiful milk snake named Monty, and even though she’s a milk snake she’s never bitten anyone. Love your videos as always!

[@mikefetterman6782]

After over 20 years working in a Reptile zoo in the Northeast ( the best reptile zoo in the country for 60 years) I found that the individualism really shines through. I have had many Burmese, ball, rock, blood and reticulated python bites, tons of bites from common boas (BCI) and red tail, Dumeril's, rainbow and tree boas. Rat snakes, kingsnakes, milksnakes, garter snakes, and of course a Western diamond back, a gila monster and a red spitting cobra. Also a few alligator and crocodile bites. My worst bite, by far, was a prairie dog (on live tv for a full minute) followed by the red spitter. The gila monster bite was the painful, but there was no treatment other than time. A few days of pain and swollen hand.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Anacondas have the worst teeth, and remember, don't let your dog near, or touch a dog before you touch snakes.

[@realDV]

Great vid concept and much needed for those scared of snakes but like them, I saw the bull snake vid the other day by Reach Out Reptiles, was crazy to see.

[@CindyandRicoTheCoonhoundCross]

My friend got a BP that was young and his first day home he was striky! After handling him a few times he settled right down. Its a matter of socialization.

[@joekimberlin264]

We have an 11' BCC, she's the sweetest, never bitten (unlike our cats; ) but has stuck at me through the glass of her enclosure, pretty scary, to be honest. But that's only when, like you mentioned, she smells her dinner thawing. I came up with a system where I thaw her meal upstairs,then burn a little sage around her enclosure before bringing it down, in something sealed, then drop it in as far away as possible, and haul ass. Been working pretty well 😊🤞

[@yannik8271]

I would absolutely love to see a video of the top 5 pets that will definitely bite you!:D

[@Breviparopus]

Spoiler alert. They are all pythons from oceana

[@Z3rks3]

Dumerils are by far my favorite snake to own.

[@victoriaflewallen7307]

I have been bit by a rubber boa because I was dumb and forgot to wash my hands after handling mice and it was the slowest, laziest, most half a$$ed bite I've ever seen. Little dude slow-mo opened his mouth, put it on me, and than changed his mind... all without even breaking the skin 🤣🤣🤣 they are the safest critter ever if you're afraid of getting bitten

[@wildchild6810]

Gray Banded Kingsnakes are pretty chilled out. Love mine, he's such a sweetheart with being handled. Even as a baby he likes being held.

[@mikefetterman6782]

We have rubber boas in our lawn and I did have one while holding it for just a minute, open it's mouth and act like it was about to chomp. I was able to shift it's head around and narrowly miss the tiny teeth, but yes, my rule is mouth= teeth= biting can happen, I also was bitten by horned frogs that surprised me. All frogs have teeth (toads do not).

[@ThatGuyHuckle]

Liked this one a lot man, good job with the content lately.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Lunareclipse666_]

I definitely wanna see the top 5 snakes that definitely will bite you. I would find it interesting. I have a MBK, getting a ball python and I want a hognose next but I’ve been told they can nom on you a lot! I loved this video as always btw 🖤

[@Lunareclipse666_]

Oh I’ve also been told that MBKs are prone to mistake you for food and bite a lot but I’ve had him for a month or so and he hasn’t tried it yet

[@davidreynolds9375]

I've got a hognose and he's a little turd. He bluff strikes all the time, but I love that about him. Changed his name to Oscar, simply because of his grouchiness. (Was bought thinking he was a she, so original name was Miss Piggy.)

[@leam89]

Hogs mostly bluff strike. It's cute

[@cloakedsquid]

i have an mbk too and he is the sweetest

[@Lunareclipse666_]

I also said this and today while I was holding him he bit me for the first time LOL. He’s tiny so I barely felt it

[@stephaniegraziano6563]

you are right I can say as a girlfriend that we do bite🤣🤣

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

that's accurate!!

[@dash8brj]

nice to see the spotted python mentioned - also funny you call two of your burms thunder and lightning - thats the names I have chosen for my snakes - thunder for my female Spotted and lightning for my male Woma.

[@user-fp2vr8ed8t]

I have two spotted pythons. I have one that never bites and then I have a bigger one that always bites. And both of them have been handled regularly their entire lives. And I have many snakes and I’ve been doing this for years. And no matter what I do with her, she just likes to bite. It doesn’t bother me any like I said I’ve been doing this for years. I usually laugh when it happens. She’ll be cool for a while and you’ll think she’s comfortable and she’s OK and then all of a sudden wham. When I first got her around three years ago, she tried to eat my pinky. She had the first section of my pinky all the way in her mouth. It took me a little while to get her get her to release. I thought she was going for it. I finally got her to let go by blowing in her face. She just likes to bite. There is always exceptions to any rule.

[@karufon96]

As well as ball phytons, bull snakes, corn snakes, imo ❤

[@jenniferbrook1720]

Omg ur spotted grew up!!! He’s so beautiful ❤ I can’t wait to see my lil man this size. I must say they are definitely great eaters, always wanna explore and be in the move, and my favorite thing .. mines love basking in the day time. Spotteds are definitely my favorite

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thank you so much!!

[@hunterbridge]

lol the addition of the 0.2 second “thats what she said” got me

[@ren2704]

The best BCI for most would be the dwarf ones that have a similar length than ball pythons and a sweet disposition.

[@wordbearer0815]

Rubber boas (Charina bottae) are very interesting. Sadly, rarely kept in Europe anymore. Very similiar to earth pythons (Calabaria reinhardtii), they have a very protected skin as they target as nest predators baby mammals/get attacked by parent animals & use the tail for distraction too. They have collagen fibre reinforcement via a transverse storage. Sadly those are equally rare.

[@Tjay_710]

I love this channel so much. I got a hognose because of this channel

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

thank you so much!

[@courtneystoppard8735]

Hey Adam great video as always! How would we be able to get animals from you? Not just by going to one of the shows..like the Toronto exposes etc. I can't make due to my disabilities and can't walk that long.

[@DairyCat]

I'm in Australia. Have raised 3 Pygmy Pythons. They're definitely nippy when they're small up until adolescence, but I find once they reach adulthood they're extremely chill, even if rarely handled when young.

[@sineado70]

Im in Australia and the best most docile snake I've seen/ handle and now own is woma's :) would love to watch what you think about the woma's❤

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Very cool!

[@bgs8054]

I'm super scared of snakes(I love them though) and would LOVE to hold a rubber boa. It's so cute

I really like the spotted python. Thank you for all the info. I always like learning about snakes.

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

The ones on his list won't bite. They'll poop on you which is worse.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@cyclonicsquid4189]

Can you please make a video on proper socialisation and taming of snakes?

[@justingeddis5044]

At 9:26 it says that’s what she said

[@twix515]

SWEET BABIESSSS❤

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I know you are but what am I

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

The more I learn about boas the more I want one. bCI or dumerils are most appealing to me, but I struggled to find space for my ball pythons 4x2x2. I think I need a bigger house to get all the snakes and lizards I want. 😅 Seriously I have a long list, and I've considered a rack system but I'm not sure how I feel about it and the quality of life. I wish I could have a reptile room, that would be absolutely epic.

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Ball Pythons seem to do very well in a rack system. They love small dark spaces as they feel secure. Boas can grow larger than a Ball Python and are more active sometimes. Time consuming, expensive to keep lots of snakes. Temperature, humidity, fresh water, rodents, plus the house upkeep if plumbing, electrical malfunctions. The larger the house the more problems, I know from living in my house. Well, if you are up for a challenge and have a strong mind, go for everything you want. I did.

[@jetjazz05]

Love my wife, its been almost a decade now, almost have her trained not to bite when startled...

[@Breviparopus]

I ran the video back 3 times to see the righting and it was. Thats what she said

[@chadbarton9631]

Figured hog island boa would be on there they are very chill too

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I have 2 Albino Burmese Pythons. They grow fast, so think BIG SNAKE. They are not for everyone, but I do love my boys. My Children's Python is a pleasure. Also have Ball Pythons, Sumatran Pythons, Blood Pythons, Boas and a Bull Snake and a California King Snake. All of them are wonderful snake companions, but, the Short Tails are not first snake pets as they need lower temp. and higher humidity with fresh water every day. Snakes I have who never would bite me are: Charley, Sumatran Python, Benny, Blood Python, Holliday, Burmese Python. I trust my snakes and they seem to know I am not a threat to them.

[@InformalHistory24]

This is a great video

[@nickbrooks2046]

I absolutely love both of my Dumerils. I can safely say they are amazing animals and I love them almost as much as my green tree pythons

[@pufnbal1744]

While I don't really have much experience with snakes. I would say a corn snake or a rat snake. While I haven't seen any in the wild of either. From the ones I have seen. They seem pretty chill, although I imagine they will bite if angered.

[@matthewtracy8744]

Number 1 is native to Montana! I haven't found one yet, but I keep trying every summer.

[@skyediona1781]

[@nevaodell345]

I think the girlfriend bite is bigger and will probably never let go lol .😂

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

oh for sure!

[@ramons8908]

"top 5 snake that will definitely for sure bite you", finally a list where the carpet python can feature on. Most snakes, you get a feed bite if you smell of what you feed them, my carpet python, food bite if you smell of roast pork. As always, get a food bite, don't panic, go get the mouth wash, and just watch how quick they change their mind. Though, a properly socialised carpet python rarely gets defensive, just have to watch out for that super food motivation they have.

[@Goriewhorie]

Saw your Brian tattoo! It looks so good!!

[@loriw2661]

Yup……that’s what she said. It was quick but I saw it🤣😂

[@brianorr308]

I'd say garter snakes in general. A food motivated spotted or children's python will easily bite (strike first hoping for food and ask questions later), but garters seem like they will think a bit more about what's in front of them and not as easily fooled into thinking a human is food (just don't lather your fingers in worms and then wiggle in front of their face - but even then it would be rare to trick them into thinking your fingers are food). Sure, garters that are not handled much will musk, but rarely ever bite. Now, for the calmest and least bitey of all garter species, my vote is for Plains garters (Thamnophis radix).

[@Me_1983-]

LOVE RUBBER BOAS!! They are hardly ever talked about but man they are so interesting and just really cool. Unfortunately i see that they aren't being bred as much anymore. Rosey boas are also really cool lil guys. I want a dumeril so much but man they have sky rocketed, as you called it 😉, and they are quite costly now. Maybe in the future 🤞

[@Hillbilly1974]

The small burm looks like it’s about to poop on you 😂

[@robertherman2453]

love this, and pretty much agree, but with the caviat that all snakes are individuals. I had a spotted python that bit me more than all other snakes combined, but that was him. every other spotted python I've handled were great. He just didn't like me inparticular, he never tried to bite anyone else, but would at least attempt to bite me every time he was out.

[@Ronnie-f6w]

i always wanted a snake but i was scared

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

don't be scared :)

Only one I don't have is the rubber boa. Now I need another snake. Lol

[@Magnum1912.]

Great info 🐍🇬🇧

[@Reaper1008]

I have been tagged by both of my Ball Python's.. but, it was due to feeding for both cases.. Plus, I don't handle them as much as I used to. One is nearly 40 years old.. I am told that's rare. and one is just over 20.

[@bo0t5yb0y2]

Thoughts on king snakes? I have a black/African king snake about 2 years. Ive been bitten once but im pretty sure i scared it just after eating, so it was my own fault. Other then that ive never had a problem.

[@That1menace]

One I would throw out there is a Madagascar cat eyed snake, it’s a smaller rear fanged colubrid that’s like if you crossed a mangrove snake with a garter snake. I’ve had one since last April and she doesn’t even attempt to bite me! One thing I noticed that’s common among keepers of these is it you don’t have live pinky mice you have to assist feed them. But that I mean just helping the baby mouse into her mouth and she’ll take it from there. Also the only weirdo I have that NEEDS to be in my hand as she eats then she will go back in her enclosure after the food gets to her stomach. She’s also legal in Alberta as she’s not quite a boiga but a similar family. 100% got her because she’s mildly venomous, but if I do get bit it’ll be guaranteed from a feeding accident

[@ChantalsCritters]
