since i got here relatively early, i just wanted to thank you for yoir content, it's really educational and evem when I'm not interested in owning an animal (snakes arent for me, to be honest) it's still very interesting and your attitude is very refreshing. I'm in the process of setting up my first tank for a crestie, which i will eventually get, and it's nice to see such a positive and non toxic take on the hobby. keep it up!

@@philipgabriel2450 they do? They have a bad reputation because wild imports are definitely not the greatest. But if picked from a breeder and grown correctly they can be lovely! So many people that have them and make videos of them, you can see they are very nice. If you go through their baby nippy stage they can be wonderful as adults. And even balls can have a nippy baby stage.

[@jintermont]

You've got the emerald tree boa camouflage backwards as their young neonates there closer towards the floor with the brown dirt and the flowers and everything so that's why they are yellow and red and then as they get older they go more towards the canopy which is where you'll see the green and the little bits of white cuz that's where the light comes through the trees

I really enjoy my Brazilian Rainbow Boa, and he's never hissed or striked at me. I got him when he was 6, though. He was my first snake in over 5 years, the only other snake I ever owned being a Corn Snake. I found him through a craigslist ad and paid $25 for him. He's been relatively easy for me to care for and I've never had an issue with his humidity (I lived in New Mexico at the time and currently live in North Dakota). I did a lot of research before getting him, I was lucky the post even stayed up for that month. Even though they're normally expensive, I suggest you get one. It'll add enjoyment to your life, and content for your channel 😉

[@janeyjpg911]

I watch alot of reptile videos and I love yours they remind me of snakebytes "5 weird animal facts" that ended like three years ago

[@jezaire]

I love when you have Piccachu with you ... even tho he never stays still ... but I have to agree with the emerald tree Boa as the most beautiful on this list ... since you cant have albinos which are even more so. Tho I kinda want a rainbow boa now ... hmmmm

[@Repti-verse]

Ok so if you can do Asian vine snakes when they are rear fanged venomous I think Mangrove snakes should have been in the list personally.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they are awesome too but man they have nasty bites!

[@Repti-verse]

Wickens Wicked Reptiles that is really true. I think I also wood have substituted the number 5 with a mandarin rat snake.

[@excrucifer1362]

U cant compare the bite of asian vine snake to mangrove snake at all, mangrove far nastier, and if u have alergy its actually gonna send u to hospital, while asian vine snake bite just, nah

I think Eastern Blackneck Garters are beautiful and also they say they actually come out of hiding so you can see them more often.

I love the tri colors and classic patterns are my favorite, except for my cornsnakes I’ve only ever had classics, but I haven’t been able to find a classic corn, go figure. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I love your list no doubt they are all beautiful animals. My top 5 favorites though are the red tail boa, my favorite snake so I am bias, but they too big for me to handle now since my car accident, AZ Mountain Kingsnake, Mexican black kingsnake, classic cornsnake, and the gray banded kingsnake. I didn’t realize I was partial kingsnakes until just now because I’d give honorable mention to the California king and Florida King.

[@SupremeGecko]

Great video. Not a snake person but I thought you covered this list very well.

[@malusignatius]

I'd rate Jungle Carpets high on that list. Amazing colours, not too big (6-8ft from memory) and reasonable tempers.

[@fablocko4374]

the ones you can buy in captivity are precious, but the wild ones not so much

[@malusignatius]

@@fablocko4374 Never had to deal with wild-caughts, the vast majority of reptiles on the Australian market's captive bred.

[@luxarmiger2205]

I have a rainbow boa for years now and love them. They aren't as picky and needy as people make them out to be. Great feeding response especially as babies. I have never been bit by my female, the the male I had did nip me ones. They can be groggy in their cage and don't want to come out but when they are out of the cage they are great even around kids.

[@evanluce5812]

So the care for the rainbow boa gets easier because the lower temperatures. Its easier for water to attach itself to particles in the air when the temperature is cooler . One of the most beautiful things about them nobody ever mentions ! During the night their sides fade out ! Not the dark outlining just the orange fades out on the sides during the night ! Its wicked

[@JoiIsakYT]

Seems like this list def focused more on the beauty then the "pet" side of things. Still a cool list. Learned about a few new snakes to look up. I liked the honourable mention of garter snakes at the end. I've been looking them up myself. Some come in like silvery grey patterned (Silver and Granite respectively)and the blue stripe (also the Puget Sound has a high blue vr) and the fire or whatever it's called if you like the red kinds (I am not so I can't remember the name sorry). There are tones of diff "natural" ones too since diff garters are found all over the USA and Canada. But I am still new in my research so I'm still fact checking.

[@straightwhitemale2728]

I REALLY like that you chose to do ONLY normal morphs. Idk why. I just thought it was really cool of you. Lmao

[@joebarbara3310]

[@DriaTarian]

Hey, Adam. This has been a really interesting video. I didn't even know number 5 existed. I love learning about new creatures! I would personally like to see a video series with your favorite morphs of different species. That would be awesome. Also, would you mind going in-depth about the debate pertaining to whether you can have too large an enclosure for a juvenile ball python? I am in the mindset that larger is better as long as you give them enough hides and enrichment. This seems controversial. Can you elaborate on this? Thank you! P.S. I apologize if you have already discussed this. I'm slowly watching through all of your videos as I just discovered your channel about 9 days ago, so I am still catching up on your past content. :)

BRB's rock! The humidity requirement aint no joke though. Yes the young can be a bit nippy although with some frequent handling they usually become quiet docile. I kept them for about 10 years and got a couple of clutches from them but never got bit...my Vet on the other hand got lit up more than a few times when they turned into a "Belt Fed Staple Gun" on periodic check ups. The "high Red" ones I think are the most stunning of all.

the prettiest snake in my eyes is the grey banded kingsnake. I and not ready to have one though. They are one of those types that have very specific requirements and from what other people have experienced they can do poorly in captivity. also, feeding them their special diet gets very expernsive. One day, I am going to have done enough research and saved enough money for it, but today is not that day! Next thing ill get is going to be a curly hair tarantula. They are adorbs and very easy to care for.

[@GoldTitanBoa917]

I got an captive bred emerald tree boa as a baby 2 years ago. She won't eat frozen no matter what. she eats live as soon as it hits the ground day or night. She digests slow and prefers smaller meals every couple weeks. They can get prolapse easy, so high humidity & smaller meals no more than 3 before pooping is good. a warm bath or exercise makes them go. She's easy to handle since a baby never bitten. Awkward balanced on the arm feels like she could twist off or looks uncomfortable sometimes, but holds tight w the end of her tail. Prefers 84 degrees. If I turn it up she moves to the cold side if I turn it down she waits under the heater. She will huff & puff at first while on her perch , and moves quick to your finger to smell it. kinda scary but never bit me. They prefer being alone, but once outside are curious, calm, inquisitive, fun. OH ya they have iridescence outside and a ton of blue coloring on the underside. Some of the best colors in the sun greens yellows white & blues.
