They are certainly impressive, yes.

I love the deep red amber color of this snake’s eyes!!! Very cool snake though not one to be messed with!!!

My bushmaster is very long and girthy as well. The venom is so nuts it makes single moms and destroys entire towns

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your support! 🙂

Thank you very much! Great that you love our videos! 🙏

Thank you very much! The trip to Peru was a big adventure and we luckily found bushmasters so we can educate people about them 🙂

Thanks for watching! Bushmasters are uncommon and very shy snakes.

Thank you for watching! It is our pleasure to share our footage! 🙂

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much for watching!

Thanks 👍 Finding snakes in the wild is so cool and we are happy that we can share these moments! Mexico and Guatemala are definitely great places for herping!

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

So nice of you! We try to answer to comments because it is part of the education :) We hope that we changed many people's fear of snakes into admiration!

Thanks for watching! Great to hear that snakebites are rare in Trinidad!

@@LivingZoology I forgot to thank you for the wonderful presentation. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

Great that you love this style! Most of our videos are like this 🙂

Thank you very much! We try to show the beauty of snakes in the best possible way! :)

Thank you for watching our videos!

Thank you very much for watching!

You're welcome 😊

Thanks for watching! We recently went to Suriname, where we found two bushmasters and many labarias! :)

This species has a beautiful coloration 🙂

Not so scary, mostly beautiful! ;)

Not all, but we try hard!

Glad you like them!

The sounds of the rainforest are awesome, we agree! But otherwise it is a quite harsh place to live! :D

​@@LivingZoology yeah their are so many deadly creepy crawlers & other dangerous animals too .

Spoken by someone that has no clue.

Thanks for watching!

Welcome! The variability was higher than we expected! Thank you for your support! 🙏

I am wondering if there is a term which best describes this camouflage diversity?? Presumably this allows greater range and habitat choices?

Thank you for watching our videos! Bushmasters are amazing, we agree. You are talking about burrowing asps (Atractaspis), we have some footage of these snakes, but not enough for a separate video about them yet :)

@@LivingZoology Thank u so much for your prompt reply to my comment. I look forward to more of your videos. Keep em' coming and be safe!

This was a tough snake to find and film and we are so happy that we can share this footage! Thank you for your support!

Our pleasure! We try to make our videos interesting and educative for people from different parts of the world :)

They are, the longest pit viper or any viper in the world.

Yes, Bothrops atrox is often found in same areas.

Thanks for watching!

Exactly, they have super camouflage!

Have you found and photograph all the species?

@@daniellatimore213 We found two species of bushmasters so far.

@@daniellatimore213 We found two species of bushmasters so far.

Thanks! Yes, that’s our young friend, who is still learning from us and we know that it could have been done better 😉

Thank you so much, great that you love our new video!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you, greetings from the Czech Republic!

Thank you very much!

Probably none if you would not specifically look for snakes. Even if you would look for them, you have a high probability of finding none 😀

Bushmasters camouflage really well and remain motionless for long periods of time. You could probably walk right by one and not notice it. Even trained eyes, professionals, have a hard time spotting them.

People who herp during night in a group know that they should point their lights down so nobody gets blinded.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

They should use a tub with levered lid latches that can be secured with a padlock or a metal ring.

Thank you so much! Great that you love our footage!

Thank you so much!

No snake is aggressive, only defensive if it feels threatened. Yes, there is a Black-headed bushmaster, it lives in Central America and it is very rare.

@@LivingZoology I don't know. I think there are plenty of bushmasters and mambas who would love nothing more than to sink their fangs into you.

@@victorcarbino8736 That is not true at all :) Snakes are peaceful animals and will only try to bite when cornered. If they have a chance to escape, they will always try to avoid confrontation.

@@LivingZoology There are snake handlers who claim mambas (and others) have a goal, and that is to bite you. I've never handled any venomous snake, so I wouldn't know personally. But there is disagreement on the matter.

You know, there could be a language issue here. Aggressive may have a slightly different definition than you think. If you accidentally walk within a few metres of a mamba, it may feel threatened and try to bite, which is an aggressive reaction. In short, over reacting to any attack, real or perceived, is a form of aggression.

Thanks!

Did you watch the video? ;)

Thanks for watching!

We don’t understand some parts of your message. Bushmasters are related to rattlesnakes and cantils/moccasins,copperheads and they have toxic venom, yes. No snakes are aggressive, only defensive if they feel threatened. Snakes also don’t chase people. There is antivenom available for people who got bitten by bushmasters or rattlesnakes.

In order to get a nice nature history footage, we have to work with snakes a bit. We take good care of snakes, try to minimize stress and we release them back into their habitat asap.

@@LivingZoology Thanks! Footage is amazing.

She said: I would prefer not to tube him 🙂

@@LivingZoology Thanks! i assumed the closed caption had it wrong.. Idk if you have any control over the captions but may want to fix that 🙂

​@@heybri , Artificial intelligence may kill off all of us humans someday ---- that is, if poor autocaptioning software doesn't get there first, causing nations to misunderstand each other and start lobbing missiles.....😳

Yes, after the King cobra and the Black mam a.

Thank you for watching our videos and we understand your point of view. We are always dealing with this issue - we try to minimize handling and work in the most natural conditions possible. We work with snakes because we want to educate people around the world about these animals and we already changed many people's fear into admiration. We always try to show that we take our time and efforts to release snakes back to the spot where we found them and overall we take great care about animals during filming. That is the reason why we are able to obtain such natural footage with natural behavior - animals are not stressed a lot when we work with them. The issue with nature photography is that many photographers don't really use their photos for education, it is often about showing off at photographic competitions. Our footage is able to educate masses and we hope that each snake we work with is becoming an ambassador for these reptiles.

@@whitenoisejack yes sir

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

that would be a collossal waste of such a beautiful animal.. plenty of other ways to make clothes tho i suspect your just trolling

We work with deadly venomous snakes around the world for 10 years. We are aware of potential risks.

Even without anti venom, the chances of dying are very very small. Unless you get a very serious bite with huge yield.

@@ederss7 bro, 80% chance that you Will die or more Lol, The amount of poison you get is insane

Some people care...those who are not afraid ;)

Thanks for watching.

Congrats to you for writing the weirdest comment so far…

@@LivingZoology congrats to you for having the worse channel on KZfaq

Thank you for wishing us such things. How do you think we film our footage? We need to work with snakes a bit and because we do it gently, we often get amazing shots of natural behavior. Thanks to our high quality footage we educate people around the world about these animals and we changed people’s fear of snakes into admiration so many times you can’t even imagine…

People who love snakes as much as we do, myself and the folks who make these videos, try to be as gentle and careful as possible. They probably only kept the snakes until it was light enough outside to film them, and then released them unharmed at the very same spots as they found them. This kind of education teaches people to be less afraid of them, so that many, many people will stop seeing them as horrible, awful creatures and see their true beauty. Education works, it's that simple. So the snakes they caught for maybe a day, were helping their fellow snakes to not be killed. I believe if snakes could understand that, they would be happy to know that them being caught, unharmed and released back into their homes safely, would help to prevent other snakes from being killed in the future. You should truly save your anger for people who slaughter snakes just to slaughter them. Giving them a death sentence for the crime of being born and breathing the same air. Not for people who truly love and admire them, and just want to teach and show others that they're not nearly the evil creatures some people think they are.

@@metalmamasue3680 I've seen some spectacular footage of reptiles without handling them in any way. In their natural surroundings going about their business is the most beautiful thing in the world to see! I'm not angry at the people who do these videos, just asked a question! What's your problem!!!

@Spacey7 I don't have a problem. I was just explaining why people do handle them and take pictures. They spend a lot of money to take trips around the world to bring us footage of snakes many of us will probably never see in person. I'm just passionate about educating people about snakes. I want to save their lives. If my comment was offensive in some way, that was not my intent. I just love reptiles 🥰 And I don't think it's nice to wish anyone getting bitten by such venomous snakes. Bushmaster envenomations are very, very serious. So I could ask the same, what's your problem? Why would you want to suggest people who love snakes, get a bite and learn some kind of lesson ? Bites CAN and DO result in deaths if someone doesn't get medical help and antivenom in time. People DO handle snakes to milk them for venom to make lifesaving antivenom, do you think they should take a bite to learn a lesson? Those snakes live in labs and the venom that's extracted, is used to save many, many lives. Reptile handlers are trained, they know the risks and they take the risks to bring people videos to help ppl learn to appreciate snakes. They also have ppl who's job is to remove and relocate snakes from backyards and properties, because of ppl like on this channel, everyday folks are learning about them & choosing to have the venomous snakes moved off their property and away from their homes, rather than just kill them. Do you wish they get a bite and learn a lesson when they're just trying to save their lives ? I think you should do some soul searching and ask why it makes you so angry that trained handlers spend a little time to handle snakes gently, get video and beautiful pictures to share with the world. All in the hopes of saving their lives. That's not wrong or a bad thing.

A lot of people would be reluctant to state that in a public forum… for good reason.

Educating yourself about snakes is the best remedy for getting over your fear of them. When you understand them better, you don't have to be afraid of them. Getting close enough to kill a snake can actually increase your chances of being bitten. No animal should be killed simply for the crime of being born and breathing the same air as we do. We are the ones who moved into animal's homes, not the other way around. The least we can do is try to learn how to coexist with them.

The difference between scary and beautiful is knowledge. Try to learn more about snakes and you will realize how peaceful animals they are 🙂 They also have an important role in nature.

Great that you love to listen to nature sounds! 🙂

The Fer-de-lance, it is much more common and prone to bite.

@@LivingZoology thank you for your videos. They are so educational and informative. I love that there is no voice over commentary, music or fancy optics. Please make many more in this format.
