I’VE NEVER SEEN A FAT SNAKE WITH ROLLS IM SORRY BUT IM SCREAMING

That king snake has dreams of becoming a python.

Oh that king snake is a CHONK

Oh my god that king snake looks SOOOOO fat! And that poor ball python, I reallllly hope all of snakes get better

Do you think the snakes look at you and go "that's a thin boi too" 🐍

Snake discovery recently had a case that due to lack of proper nutrition developed a neurological problem they could be similar cases

*saw thumbnail and immediately went down to thaw my noodle a snickity snack*

Wow when you held that pied up I was like aah its not the worst then you held up the albino and my heart broke..

I've purchased from emerald scales in the past. My milk snake is doing amazing. I'd love to adopt one of the two ball pythons once they've gotten a little healthier.

My heart breaks for the albino bp clinging onto life, I hope he makes a full recovery. The neurological issue is strange, I wonder if it's due to starvation and if it's a permanent issue. I'll be following his story closely. Thank you for doing all that you do for these animals.

There's nothing more depressing than seeing bone-thin animals. :(

My boa when he was emaciated had a lot of the same wobbles as the Spiders. It's really upsetting to see, but it went away as he gained his strength back.

The king snake looks like it's meat has been stuffed into the skin *forcefully* ☹️

That poor ball python. Like just....how.

Aww the piebald is so shy

Hopefully the albino makes it. Seems optimistic with him feeding but he's in such bad shape it would not be all that strange if he just died out of the blue. I can't believe someone let him get to that point.

The king snake looks like an overstuffed sausage

aye early access vid. how ya doing members? Edit: join the membership for future early access! GoHerping.com/membership

I really hope that albino pulls through, seems like it has a strong will

Poor kids, glad to know the skinny bois are eating, that poor kingsnake looks like the Michelin man 😩

its amazing how resilient snakes are tho, truly

Looking forward to a update video showing the albino in better shape.

I’m so excited for the chonk king snake video 🖤

I have never seen a snake that was so fat it had rolls 😳

This is giving me war flashbacks. I have a ball python now that I rescued from a home that underfed him consistently and claimed he "wouldn't eat" and was "aggressive" so they couldn't keep him anymore. He was extremely underweight and I truly thought the owners did everthing they could at first. They sounded so convincing and really acted like they cared about him. I quickly realized they were just very good LIARS. He was so weak. He wasn't as underweight as the ball python in this video but VERY CLOSE. I waited about 3 days for him to settle into his new tub (I had to redo so much. The tub he came with was only 1/2 ft by 1 ft.) and as soon as I offered him food he took it immediately. He is also the sweetest ball python ever. He has never bitten. He hisses a lot but only because I think he was never handled in the entirety of his life. He has luckily gained a lot of weight and is doing great with me now! As soon as he recovers completely I'm going to be moving him from the tub he's in now to a nice sized terrarium. Good luck with your ball python's road to recovery! I know how much effort it takes when dealing with a sick animal but after you start seeing some progress all the work you put into it just makes you feel so good and I'm so excited to see your little guy recover!

Piebald is my favorite morph, I know he'll be a beauty when you've put weight on him.

That poor BP looked liked it was at death's door. Heartbreaking Ugh...his poor neck looks so tiny 😥

Omg that poor baby looks like skin stretched over some bones. He literally looks deflated. I wish him a speedy recovery, I'm so glad he has you to help him!!

Really great to see these guys eating. And I know I shouldn't giggle at King Chonk but oh my goodness that's basically me as a snake lol

This is a pretty sad video but the way you were handling the piedbald at the beginning made me laugh. He just...ball. Also the king snake made me cry, he's so goofy looking (and im looking forward to hearing about Sunny!!) I really hope that poor albino is okay, though. Ditto what some people have said about lack of nutrition causing neurological deficiencies; hopefully he can recover on his own. Ngl the way the rear sags reminds me a lot of my juvenile corn snake who passed away due to lack of food as well, and that was the last symptom she (well, he, but i called it a she) showed before she passed away. I hope he doesn't succumb to the same fate, he's a beautiful-looking snake.

The part when he was able to swallow on his own was so amazing!! Gave me such a triumphant feeling! You guys are amazing ❤❤❤

"choochoo train it in" might be the new favorite thing Ive heard someone say.

I think your statement about the emaciated ball python’s mental health matching that of a “healthy” spider ball, says a LOT on what mental health is being bred into those snakes. That sort of discovery should be enough to stop that breeding from happening. But they still keep breeding spiders.

10:16 “cho cho train them in” I love it. Idk why. But I love that terminology. Professional phrase.

Dude I can't wait until you get a bigger place its gonna be so cool, you'll be that one reptile rescue place that everyone goes to due to you having a KZfaq channel for everyone to see y'alls work unlike others

I think the albino and the piebald are great examples to compare for anyone wondering when to assist feed or not. The albino obviously *wanted* to eat but physically couldn't so it makes sense to assist feed, you're literally assisting him in doing what he is trying to do but can't. The piebald still has good muscle tone and responsiveness so, combined with his lack of interest in food, it makes sense to take things more slowly with him. P.S. Thanks so much for sharing all of these videos with us. You provide a lot of great information and do wonderful work with the reptiles in your care.

i need that fat kingsnake in my life (after he gets better ,ofcourse)

I am in LOVE with this emaciated boy! I may have to have him if he pulls through. Thank yall for doing what yall do.

Sometimes I think that somewhere along the line in the domestication of Ball Pythons, they lost the ability to understand that food is needed for survival. I know that's not what happened, but that's what it feels like.

I'm so glad you took them in to take care of them and help them to recover and give them so much love. They really need it so much. You are a wonderful person, and so is anyone else who is helping you to care for them with you. Thankyou so much.

You're a champ for taking care of this noodle! Can't wait to see him become the beefiest alfredo down the road 😁

This was really helpful to see the differences if weight. I'm always paranoid I'm giving too much of too less of food since different people do different feeding charts. The video examples are very helpful. Hope everything goes smoothly with their recovery!

hey Alex I was wondering if you've seen any of your fanart on Instagram! It's super cool! You can see it in your tagged posts!

U are such an amazing person....donating ur time and care into rescuing animals that need it...I love ur passion...never lose that

I audibly whispered ‘oh NO’ when the king snake came onscreen. And oh my god those poor little pythons. These are heartbreaking to look at, I hope they all recover quickly :(

Have you considered IBD as being a cause? Cork screwing, anorexia are signs. Very contagious please isolate and get him check asap. Good luck with him.

Awe this poor buddy. He just looks like skin and bones 😭 I'm so glad he's in good hands

i love this little community you’ve created, everyone is always so positive towards you and each other

Thank you for all that you do 😊

Nobody: GoHerping: *Eh Eh Eh* And Ihope he gains that needed weight

great video Alex! the B roll and editing is getting so good

I’ve been subscribed to you since before you had 1000 subscribers, I’ve always loved your videos I watched the first ball python care guide the day it came out and used the information you said when I got my snake. and now I use your info from your second care guide. I miss your old news videos from A LONG time ago😂. I live in North Carolina and love all your videos. And I hope you’ll be at this upcoming repticon on June first and second.!!

Poor snakes 😭 good content 👌

That poor baby! I wanna keep an eye on him too.

So excited to see Stryker!! He did feed one time for us in February, but that was it. Also, he definitely used to strike a lot. I think his issue really comes down to just being hugely stressed. We feel like we gave him a good habitat, couple of nice hides, things to climb on, and he was super active, but he came from a mill breeder, and I think he just needs TLC to become his full awesome self. You guys are the best!!

I'm so happy that he's doing better already, you're an amazing person for helping these poor souls

That king snake. So many rolls

Oh my goodness, I love that snake and I hope his road to recovery is fast! When you called him a twig, I thought you said his NAME was Twig, and I thought it was cute. Also dang that Kingsnake is T H I C C

U came about in my "suggested for you" I don't know how but now I'm addicted. I've also subbed!! 😊

I don't know why this channel is so captivating to me...I just started yesterday and I'm hooked

oh my good that poor baby looks so miserable. I hope he recovers and recovers strong.

That king snake isn't fat HE'S KING SIZE

Good luck leading those snacks back to full recovery, Alex. My heart broke to see those poor ball pythons, they are gorgeous snakes and I hope they're fully ready to go to a new forever home soon.

I'm very upset of the messed up cases of neglect by people. Thank you very much for helping bring these cases to a positive. You guys rock❤

I hope that ball python gets better Poor baby😣

Omg poor baby 😦😞😞 This makes me so sad. I’m glad you’re helping him I’m glad that he’s eating taht makes me really happy.

Just subscribed! I look forward to more updates on the various snake recoveries ^_^ Great video

You have a lot of knowledge considering you're so young. I enjoy your videos more than many other reptile you tubers.

Jeez that's big fat snake. Keep up the hard work love your videos.

I swear this man must have the most hydrated eyes on the planet. He blinks about 40 times a minute (no I did not count)

Poor babies. I’m so glad you take in reptiles and nurse them back to health. I’m relatively new to your channel- id love to donate to your organization. Please let me know the best way to go about that. 💕

You are amazing, so glad your there for these reptiles!!!

that pie ball 😭 so beautiful

our ball python was emaciated like that when we got him home.. i thought we were bringing him home to die..that was over a year ago. Now he is perfection. Healthy eyes, sheds, poops, and not lethargic. It is heartbreaking how people let their critters starve like this.

poor fella! hope he (and the other snakes at the beginning) do well. glad they're in your care, emeraldscales is doing really good work

I don’t know anything about snakes but the difference in energy and movement from the 1st feed to the 3rd is so encouraging and good to see. I’m really rooting for him I’m glad he has someone that cares for him

11:35 those ribs showing while he was being fed made my heart sink.. hope he is doing better!!

Poor baby. He is soooo skiny. I hope he is doing a lot better now! Is the piebald going to be up for adoption any time soon? He is absolutely gorgeous!!! I would love to adopt him!

wow!! REally cool stuff on your show!! I look forward to more!!

Big props to you bud for taking on these sick animals! You sound compassionate and knowledgeable! Keep up the good work!

When he got it down I almost cried, bby needs food so bad

"Obese king snake" and you literally just show a video of me 😒

really cool what you're doing! Here's hoping that the emaciated snake gets better!

I’m definitely going to keep an eye out on the site for that piebald in the next few months. It’s beautiful

I really need to get some more frogs man.... not enough squish in my life right now

I don't know if there's any premade formula, but I've heard of some people dipping the pinkies in a nutrient supplement powder.

I love your videos and personality, you make my shifts better while delivering pizza.

I don’t know a lot about snakes. However, I’m very glad you’re helping out these sweet little guys. I’m looking forward to seeing them in the future

I know the albino ball python will recover in your care. Good luck Edit: This video made me realize how amazing Sunny’s metabolism is.

Seeing snakes like this immediately makes me want to feed my ball python.

Thank you for everything you do 💕

I love that brown and white ball python it's so beautiful and so mesmerizing. How may I find one like that!? I love your videos btw!! You can see the compassion and love you have for not just your animals but all animals!!!

Your voice is changing dude -

I really didn’t mean to laugh but when that king snake came on screen I was like MEEEEEEE

I’m a new sub but have been watching for a while. I don’t own any reptiles nor do I plan to, but I enjoy your content. Keep it up.

This video was super cool. I hope we get to see him once he’s recovered.

Weight loss and corkscrewing are both signs of IBD in a ball python. I wouldn't have a rescue snake anywhere near the rest of my animals. I hope that is not the case, but better safe than sorry. I say this as someone who lost his entire ball python collection to a nasty RI due to improper quarantining on my part.

The neurological symptoms are, most likely, due to a server lack of vitamins . Good luck with him xxx

You rock, dude. I'm happy you exist, taking such good care of these lovely creatures :>

Good luck, I hope their recovery goes well
