Thanks for watching!

You should not put your fingers under rocks, only on the side.

Thank you very much! 🙏

Thank you!

We were in Australia for 2 months :) Now we are back at home!

We saw Puff adders striking. Yes, it is fast.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Many many thanks!

Thank you! Yes, carpet vipers are a bit feisty!

Thank you very much! :)

Glad you like them!

Thanks for watching! 👍 Carpet vipers are cool 🙂

Thank you very much! 🙏

Thank you very much for watching! A new one from Costa Rica coming soon!

Yes, these snakes can be incredibly common in some areas and they are very defensive!

Thank you for watching! :)

Yes, it was very interesting to see!

Thank you so much! Great that you love the video! 🙂🙏

They have very good camouflage indeed :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much!!! Greetings from the Czech Republic! 🙂

Thank you! Yes, we are fine, currently at home in the Czech Republic 🙂 Yes, both carpet viper and saw-scaled viper is used as a common name for genus Echis.

We will post more videos from Kenya, don’t worry 🙂

We are back home! Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Yes, they use different methods usually, but we wanted to see what will happen :D It works very well with King cobras for example :)

Yes, carpet vipers cause many bites and deaths. Another snakes which causes high amount of bites is the Puff adder.

Na svou velikost vydávají výrazný zvuk!

We use quite many tools for handling venomous snakes and we don’t touch a bag with a venomous snake with hands except places where you can touch (upper part and corners on the bottom).

That is a great idea and we are working with it already, we informed about color differences in Boomslang for example (Cape provinces in South Africa vs. other parts of the continent). We also have a special video about black European adders, which live mostly in mountains etc.

@@LivingZoology Nice, Love the videos!

@@toasty4232 Thank you!

It is difficult to say, maybe yes, maybe not.

It is the same genus - Echis, but in Africa they are often called carpet vipers.

Hello! We came back home few days ago! Our trip to Australia was 2 months long! We found 33 species of snakes, they will slowly start to appear on our channel :)

Hello, thank you for watching!

Bohužel v přírodě mají na svědomí mnoho uštknutí. Oblasti, kde se vyskytují, mají problém s dostatkem protijedu a chudobou.

We agree that Baringo is a very nice area! We loved how remote it is!

Yes, snakes from the genus Echis are either called carpet vipers or saw-scaled vipers.

@LivingZoology love ur knowledge. Thank u 4 the answer.

Jaké následky mělo kousnutí echiskou? Který druh to byl? Díky za odpověď, zdravíme!

We rescued most of them, otherwise they would be killed by local people.

👍👍

Any type of proper shoes is better than flip flops or nothing.

We are from the Czech Republic 🙂

Hakuna Matata! :)

Hello! :)

We went to Australia for 2 months and we still managed to prepare some premieres for our fans :)

We are from the Czech Republic 🙂

@@LivingZoology Yeah watching the video more I figured. Nice :D

Yes, we try to educate people everywhere we go! We also often explain that snakes are venomous, not poisonous.

We don't carry cameras, tripods etc. with us when we search for snakes (only the GoPro usually).

Thank you. In what aspect you think we make catching more difficult?

We try to minimize stress to all snakes. That is why we are able to film natural behavior so easily. Sometimes we film defensive behavior and in those situations we need to interact more with the animal. But we always watch the behavior of the animal, don't work in bad weather (heat of the day), use professional tools, etc. Also, when there is a chance to educate people about snakes and give them a positive experience, we do it. By showing a cobra to locals in Africa you change their perspective of snakes forever. Many of those we met stopped killing snakes and now they respect them. So a little bit of extra stress for one snake can actually save many snakes of various species in that area in the future :)

Yes, absolutely well camouflaged!

Disagree.. Its easier to pick up smaller specimens

@@suzieequee6220 Regardless of how it may look/seem to someone without experience like you (no offense), hooks are actually incredibly safe and easy to get used to. Especially for smaller snakes. There's always the risk of hurting a snake when handling them with tongs and they honestly shouldn't be used as often, or at all, as they are on snakes. People that use these are not pros just because they're on camera/the internet. Credentials: Many years of snake handling and knowing others that do as well. Including venomous such as vipers and elapids of course.

Couldn't agree more, Mike. Love this channel's content though.

We only use gentle tongs with rubber, those are the only safe tongs to use. People who did not try them will say they are bad, try and you'll see.

@@ralphvanhee4958 We only use gentle tongs with rubber, those are the only safe tongs to use. People who did not try them will say they are bad, try and you'll see. We already showed them to many snake rescuers around the world, especially in countries where they hate tongs (like India) and they were amazed how gentle they are, you cannot hurt the snake as it is not possible to close them totally. It requires training of course. It is never good to rule out any kind of tools. We use tongs for catches usually, hooks when we work with the snake, sometimes gloves, etc. Every tool has a good use in certain situation if it is used wisely.

Thanks!

We just repeated what the local said :) It sounded interesting, but we did not know the meaning! Thank you for explanation.

Locals wanted to kill the snake, they knew where it was. We relocated it to the closest thicket where it will survive and keep hunting rodents.

Well, when local people want to kill these snakes, they need to be removed. Either the snake will die or someone gets bitten. We rescue snakes and release them as close as possible. It is a trade off often, people obviously don't want to have snakes released close by, but you also cannot release the animal 10 km away, it will be disoriented and it can die.

You mean my wife? She is not afraid of adventures 😉
