You should do a burmese python review

Stay tuned 🔔

I'd go for the Burmese Python.

It's still a bad idea for most people.

@@ClintsReptiles I've had a burmese python Named Luna

Lamb Sauce BRUH IM IN TEARS

That’s absolutely hilarious

What an absolute unit

He's unstoppable, soon he'll be wandering in the streets.

My sulvaca tortoises are housed outside for this reason

Guss guss is soo adorable

Steel King Benjamin guss guss is a puppy, idk why cling showed him when talking about lizards

Clint: He’s a good pet he doesn’t mean to hurt me

@@benbeermann744 about the python: he's pretty playful. He likes to play wrestle and he's also pretty kinky while he's into choking.

I love Gus Gus!!! 😍

I like about that level in a pat, gives you a reason to show them respect

Yeah, that’s how this baby is ….. 🤣💚

i mean...lets be honest,most full grown dogs can hurt you too..alot of parrots could probubly take your finger off. but whats great about all these animals,including the tegu...is it probubly wont. Argentine Tegus dont really have a disposition toward biting poeple...certainly not out of no where...a tegu will usually give you sure warning signs if it was aggravated before biting you.

See, for a guy who worked a lot with bully breed dogs with "criminal records" like me, that would be a damned important remark ;)

Marcus P haha 😂 agree

Same!!!

Me too!

Sometimes that is important to mention...

Lol right that's almost like a lizard loving you 💕🦎💕

You're not going to pay a visit to the coroner, and that's lovely! Clint's honesty is also humorous, and I think that gets through to people far more than just fear.

Made me lol too :-)

@@ClintsReptiles Burmese pythons rarely kill humans but it has happened .

This video came out 10 mins ago how did you comment yesterday also I'm a long time subscriber

Hi fellow snek channel

She asked me for the link while we were hanging out 🤫 Also, our Patreon supporters get the videos early.

Patreon here I come

I'm here from Emily so that's awsome!!

I would!

This is a joke but I saw basically this happen. A TA for a bio professor was hanging out at the food court with a sulcata and there was a gaggle of girls around him (myself and my friend's dumbasses included)

Pro tip: that would 100% work.

If a man brought a tortoise to a bar and told me they had more reptiles at home I can honestly say I'd be going home with him just to see the reptiles 😂

That would literally happen

tegus man, its sad i just cant see myself with such a huge lizard. I think if i do get a tegu id prob get a smaller one like a blue or yellow. But that for the future

@noface_playes8719 still sleeps with me every night. Just under my head inside my pillow or beside me now, less on my belly. He comes when I call him, is potty trained, has a door from which he can come and go from in his enclosure, free roams, he's the love of my life and the best decision I ever made 🥰

@@IrieRogue how do you potty train a tegu my dog took a year to potty train and you casually roll up and say that your tegu does something a 1 year old kid can’t

Especially Tegus

That is such a responsible choice. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the easy thing. Thank you!

Have you ever heard of an ackie monitor? They are a lot smaller than most monitors and don’t need as large enclosures as some of the other large lizards-maybe around 6 feet long and 4 feet wide? Not to bad for a monitor lizard!

I've kept a few kinds of reptiles, and I have to say that tegus are the most rewarding of any species that I've kept. They are so smart and once you gain their trust they are so manageable and fun to interact with. Pro tip, if you feed white rodents to them dont make the mistake of walking around with white shoes or God forbid socks in front of them, they will go into full on food response mode and your toes will never forgive you!

@@mraBJJ33 hahaha, yes I can see that happening.

I definitely would look into owning an argentine tegu but I live in a trailer so I have pretty much no space to work with

Maybe he keeps them in a reptile concentration camp type deal that's why he never shows it

@@JP-of8uq yeah they all in a half flooded basement in giant plastic tubs 🤣

A lot of the animals he shows are guests and he tells who brought them to be on the show. Gus gus is his and the bci is his. But every animal he shows isn't his. And this is his shows format. I'm sure he's far from abusing his animals as they are immaculate in body condition and temperament so they're obviously handled and well cared for.

I grew up with several red tailed boas - thicc girthy guys - and they had their own sunroom. Little nooks of a house that can be sealed off with a sliding glass door something like that is very convenient, just make sure you know how the outside weather will effect it.

Where’s the retic 🤣

Thank you.

Tegus, BCIs, & tortoises are very common pets in Brazil. Because of the laws here, it's easier to get a BCI than a corn snake, making them beginner exotic pets.

Tell them you plan on getting some vipers in the near future since you aren't worried about losing your coverage lol.

Ball Pythons, Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, etc (all of the more common reptiles) shouldn’t be considered exotic. They are more or less becoming household names over last 20 years.

Ball pythons are exotic? I actually find that somewhat entertaining. Well, your situation isn’t entertaining, but you get the idea.

That’s awful 😤

There are some insurers that will allow exotics, but they charge an arm and leg. I'd burn my neighbors house down, but that's just me. I have 7 absolute unit snakes. (Retics, a Burm and 1 Green Anaconda) so I know I can't keep mine a secret. I love having mine outside.

Well then a bci would be a great substitute. If not, how about a super dwarf retic.

ohouck , hello, I just got a beardie!

That was my favorite comment of the day!

Joe Blazer Biggest mistake I ever made when I first got into burms was letting them get into my sleeve. Turns into a whole big production trying to get them out lmao.

Burmese are so sweet and friendly. Giant Size is their only con.

@@PlanesAtPaine i know that feeling, my Boa once went up my t-shirt sleeve and out the other one, was nightmare getting her out

Oh well, and here I was having a hard time getting a corn snake out of my sleeve...

@@PlanesAtPaine I know this is a late reply, but I had a similar experience when I was in school and was playing with the class snake. I wasn't paying attention, and due to a condition I have a higher body temperature than most, and ended up with the snake sneaking into my shirt. I became aware of this as a problem when I went to move my arm and found I couldn't. The snake, seeking warmth, had wrapped around my entire arm and tightened up because it was 'climbing'. (For reference, when climbing, snakes will squeeze their body three times harder around the surface of the object to make sure they don't fall.] This ended with me having my arm sticking out slightly, and unable to lower it or raise it much. I then had to walk up to the teacher (it was lunch break and I always came to see the animals that were class pets), wait my turn to talk to her, and explain that I needed help with the snake. No I hot lost it or hurt it, but he was currently under my clothing using my arm as a perch. Didn't hurt me or feel bad, but I wanted to give the other animals attention and lunch was coming towards an end. Was a great time, but yah, always be careful of where snakes like to wander.

That makes me so happy to hear

This is literally me.

Nameless the cat that sounds great. May I ask how old and how big your boa is? I am raising one myself and she is all over the place,I hope she will calm down once she gets older but right now letting her out is demanding 100% of my attention. Maybe I just got the wold one of the bunch, I have a talent for choosing animals that are full on crazy.

@@Skeranda my girl is about 4 years old and I don't know her exact size, but I'd say she's between 4 & 5 foot. I've had her since she was a hatchling and she was always pretty chill. Though when yours gets bigger and older I'm sure they'll calm down, babys usually are a lot crazier than the adults

My male is almost 4 years old and 7+ feet. I've had him a while and the calm down with frequent handling. My baby female is about 6 months and moves like its nobody's business

@@Matt6h geeze, 7ft at 4? What do you feed yours? Mine currently gets small rats every other week

Nameless the cat he probably just feeds his slightly larger meals more frequently. The more often they’re fed the faster they grow after all

Thank you so much!

@@ClintsReptiles I love your channel so much, I've learned so much about Lizards from your channel. I never knew a lot of Lizard facts before. I now own a 7 foot long BCI BOA, juvenile Sulcata Tortoise, two male&female Reticulated Pythons and a female coastal Carpet Python.

@@ClintsReptiles I really appreciate the hard work and educational videos you put out there in KZfaq. Awesome vids! Large reptiles are not good pets for 99% of people especially Burmese pythons, Retics and Rock Pythons.

Doug Golden Golden , hello, I just got a beardie!

pyromen321 , hello, I just got a beardie!

just make sure they are real normal burmese pythons and none of them are nagini or nagini's descendants XD ( for those who don't know, nagini is voldermot's snake in the harry potter movies and the filmakers modeled her after a burmese python,at least in the first movie it appears, only with a more agressive look)

Thanks for the heart attack :)

Just get a Tupperwarehouse.

"Three adult burmese pythons" When he said always have someone there to save you in case of a feeding accident, I don't think he was talking about two more hungry Pythons.

How's she now?

@@bromaro I love her. She's grown a lot, 4 feet now I think (her entire family is big) She doesn't bite, I could even feed her from my hand, she uses my hand as a pillow and walks around the rooms with my shoes. She's smart, she knows how to find the front door of the home, she knows how to open doors. I love her.

@@ggAsuna aww cute dinosour

How's that going for you? I'm considering getting one as well. Anything that's not really mentioned that I should know when considering one?

@@VexKidd they get fat fast :) And the high humidity is a thing to keep in mind. Not every vet is comfortable with a tegu. Keep an eye on their shed, cuz stuck shed constricts (as with other reptiles aa well) the most common area for stuck shed is their toes and tail.

Did you get one?

Thanks for being so responsible. The BTS is definitely a rad pet!

BTS are the best compromise critter for those who want something big without all the downsides of huge critters. I hope you find yourself in a position to keep one someday!

King Jones , hello, I just got a beardie!

I'm so glad we could help.

I got a little male Hognose pretty recently because of him aswell haha. Have had lizards for years, but this is my first noodle

lol i was scared you'd say burmese python

Whatd u name it?

siwueofk I was thinking that they were going to say one of the ones in this video or like a retic 😂😂

I'd say the same applies for most exotics. A lot of people are pretty bad at visualizing the size and implications of adult reptiles (myself included). You can tell someone a sulcata gets huge, but until they see an adult, a lot of people don't understand what that really looks like.

switch the flip Exactly. The 16 foot stat might be a number most people can grasp but until you see it in person or get to feel the weight of it, most people just can’t accurately measure it in their mind. So important to know what you’re getting into beforehand. Through expos and other kinds of outreach I hope to offer that experience to people because I really love these guys and I’d kill to have more keepers in my area, but it’s irresponsible for me to assume they’re appropriate for everyone.

Yeah a 16 foot cornsnake you can prob manage but you need some serious experience to handle a big burm

I agree but also disagree with you. I worked at an exotic reptile store when I was 14 (long time ago) and I was in charge of cleaning the snake enclosures. Certain snakes I was nervous around (to this day I refuse to own a boa because the ones there always seemed to be temperamental. I was more inclined to hold the Burmese pythons over the baby boas if that tells you anything 😂) well, anyway for a while we had a GIANT albino Burmese python that I adored. Though I was still a little nervous handling her considering it was a wrestling match anytime she came out, my boss had to go somewhere and left me with the store (we were closed but we were doing inventory and general care) When he left he said I'm welcome to do the Burmese pythons but he said I could wait until he got back if I wanted. (probably would've been the better option, instead of a 14 year old wrestling with a Giant snake that could easily kill me.) Well anyway this is when I fell in love with this giant because although i was nervous as it was my first time handling her myself I took the leap. I took her out and just sat there with her wrapped around me trying to wrestle her and clean her enclosure at the same time. (she was very curious so she'd slither EVERYWHERE and was a lot to handle and she was also almost triple the size of our other large snakes which made matters worse.) but I had the time of my life interacting with her while she slithered everywhere and we wrestled for who gets to control where she goes.. She even made it into my shirt which ended up being a losing battle for me and I ended up having to take my shirt off to get her out. When I finally got her back in her enclosure I remember being exhausted but I also had a new found love for these giant snakes. While even today I still have a huge passion for them and still love handling them. I don't think I would want to own one myself. As much as I'd love to own one I don't think I could feel comfortable having such a giant that could potentially kill me; also the problem lies during feeding and that I don't have another person to always be there with me in the (although rare but possible) case that something bad happens. So Ig what I'm trying to say here is just because you love and respect the animal, really put some thought into whether you truly are ready to make the commitment whether you love the animal or not, and know the risks. Just my personal story and some food for thought 😄

Yes! They need good homes.

They will outlive you. I would think you would have to have provisions for them when you die.

(exotics lair in the corner)

😏

Michael Bates Except Monitors are also one of the smartest lizards, and the Black Throated Monitor is a Monitor Lizard.

Erin Meow , hello, I just got a beardie!

@@mcmustache5674 yay congratulations! Beardies are so awesome, Original pirate material! Our Australian reptiles are pretty special and abundant, you should see all the amazing skinks and geckos and legless lizards in the inner suburbs of Perth, WA! My brother lives down at the very southern tip of western Australia - there are king skinks everywhere and he found a carpet python in his garden last summer (they're quite rare in Albany!)

I love burmese. A family friend had a breeding pair when I was a kid and honestly they were soso gentle and fun. I went from being terrified to loving snakes overnight because of the burmese.

@@Lulusnotreadyforthis that's an awesome story :) my first big snake was a granite Burmese Python and now I'm looking at breeding burms next year. A friend of mine put it best they are puppy noodles. And I couldn't agree more, burms are just giant scaley dogs.

They are sweet hearts. Retics CAN be good pets as well when raised right .

@@timdrake9782 I do kind of have to disagree. Retics have been captive bread for so long that the days of the nasty first and second gen CBB snakes are really behind us. They are very energetic and will pretty much do what they want to do when they want to do it. But they are fantastic pets, the mean snippy snakes you see online are really the exception not the rule. I mean don't get me wrong everyone sees prehistoric pets videos of big females on eggs trying to kill him, but that's because they are on eggs. Sorry I just really can't stand the bad rap that Retics have that they just do not deserve.

@@jackohara5272 I love my Reticulated pythons. My female is puppy dog tame and my male is extremely defensive. They have variable temperaments in my personal experience. I've owned several Retics in my life and 7 Burma Pythons. Retics are a little more feisty when not handled a lot. Burms are big bluffers and hissers. Do you own Retics? I own 2 Reticulated Pythons and I love them. I like them better than Dogs and Cats.

Thank you so much! You have a great day also.

I hope you're right :)

Rick Nichols , hello, I just got a beardie!

Agreed! I really want to see that video.

I’m glad you are enlightening people with these amazing creatures!

I mean it’s a lot better that they are impressed by them. Here, lizards and wild monitors are soo common and known, basically any lizard you keep they just associate them as the wild monitors and are terrified of them😢

Does mean she eats like a boa though :P

Tits McGee do you watch N.E.R.D’s videos? They are a reptile and snake breeder and do a lot of work with monitor species, particularly Asian Water Monitors. They recently did a start-up baby AWM video too.

@@Littlewings1211 I have not seen any if NERDs videos yet but I've heard about them will definitely have to check them out now thank you

Tits McGee you won’t be disappointed. They stopped doing videos for a while but they have recently started up again and Kevin McCurley is incredibly knowledgable about the animals he breeds and keeps (and a ton of animals he doesn’t lol!) he’s like the snake whisperer 😂😂

I once owned an Asian Water Monitor. He escaped. I still miss Charlie.

Thanks for the feedback! What makes this one different for you?

@@ClintsReptiles just the fact that I've been wanting this kind of video about all the big reptiles since you started 😂😂 my uncle has a sulcata, my cousin had a green iguana when I was a kid, I had a green iguana now we're gonna get into the bigger snakes. Getting a boa here soon. The bigger reptiles have always had a special place in my life. Always wanted a monitor just don't know which one to go with

SharkBAIT RUDY , hello, I just got a beardie!

Maggie Kennedy , hello, I just got a beardie!

That he is. Silly mortals...

I don’t want a common boa as my first choice for a 2nd snake, but Suriname True Red Tailed Boas are genuinely beautiful, a little less hardy and higher maintenance, though saying a snake is higher maintenance is like saying Indiana jones 3 is better than Indiana jones 1. I can’t wait to get one, they’re awesome.

Aurora's Woods , hello, I just got a beardie!

@@mcmustache5674 I recently got a beardie myself! I'll be sharing him on my channel soon. Aren't they great? :D
