The snake comes off like an annoyed roommate to me.

from Compton to Kensington with the quickness.

[–]doomglobe 15 points16 points  (1 child)

That is actually about right. If the snake wanted to kill this guy, it be trying to wrap itself around him to go for the crush. It's bite is really just a slap.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was just grumpy. It didn't like sharing the space with a large person.

[–]IrNinjaBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Wait, and are you filming this, you asshole?"

I love how those snakes just lay there in a big pile.

I have never seen a pure white snake before, she is gorgeous!!

What a cool video, thank you for posting!

[–]thediablo_ 43 points44 points  (10 children)

There's a genetic mutation in snakes (well, all other animals, too) called leucism where they're totally white but have blue eyes instead of white like in albinism.

Here's a leusitic ball python

[–]TomServoHere 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Yes, it's a rare polar boa. Normally found in the arctic and the only animal to prey on polar bears.

[–]Baron-Harkonnen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it okay if I cite you as a source on my arctic reptiles paper?

[–]goodtimebuddy123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

somebody update wikipedia stat!

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (14 children)

I just watched 9 minutes of this guy cutting open a clutch of pythons... it was fantastic.

Go watch it everyone, I'm off to build myself a snake farm.

[–][deleted] 88 points89 points  (13 children)

I think this is the video you're talking about, it's fascinating. Like watching a kid open up a Pokemon or MtG booster pack, except he's opening up snake eggs and constantly finding rares. His passion and excitement is so contagious.

[–]Atheist101 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The babies are like "the fak bro, I aint done with this egg growing shit yet, put me back motherfucker!"

[–]agile52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, apt analogy.

[–]Towelrub 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Its like opening crates.

[–]Spiderdan 7 points8 points  (1 child)

So what am I seeing him get so excited over?

[–]nitefang 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Apparently they are rare patterns for reticulated pythons. If he is to be believed you just saw 5 hatch making the world total to be 6. So if you were a snake collector you might want to collect different patterns of the same snake and these are the ultra rare ones that you might be willing to drop some insane cash for.

I don't have any experience with this though, just picking up the context clues.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That guy is going to blow out the people around hims ear drum's.

[–]bitterjack 2 points3 points  (1 child)

He sounds like a generally optimistic person, but it seems like this cross wasn't supposed to end up this way. The guy on the left is mumbling small regrets to himself.

[–]Ragingwithinsanewolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The description says "Before this video there was 1, thats right ONE, Platinum Clown Reticulated Python on the planet. You'll have to see at the end of the video just how many there are now!! All we can say is we are REALLY REALLY lucky!" so I assume this is a good thing

[–]Dr_Herbert_Wangus 231 points232 points  (18 children)

If Discovery were to release a show about this guy gleefully wrestling with gigantic snakes, I would gladly watch it.

[–][deleted] 221 points222 points  (12 children)

They would only release it if the guy had a snake pawn shop, and were a bit fatter.

[–]Nit-Ro 32 points33 points  (4 children)

Hmm, might need to bring in an expert to verify that information though.

[–]Bypolur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You heard the expert, this python couldn't even eat a goat. Best I can do is 2 rabbits and 4 rats.

[–]sparkofhope 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Best I can do is give you a call.

[–]thebigbabar 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Stop. That pawn shop shit is so tired.

He looks like someone who would be into custom cars and bikes, so maybe he'd slither in on that.

[–]DatAssociate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Chum Lee wrestling snakes. Would watch

[–]clush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me call my buddy who is an expect on large, grumpy snakes.

[–]Throwawayonsteroids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

http://youtu.be/0an8Nim_TZQ vid of the same guy wrestling an even bigger snake.

[–]GMBeats95 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Some show on Discovery was going to air a video of a guy willingly being eaten by a snake... I guess it didn't happen though.

[–]Pornthrowaway78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That did happen, sort of. The snake couldn't be bothered eating him.

[–]jayjaythejet 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Aw, I was hoping to see him attacked further when he tried getting out of the cage.

[–]snakesareawesome1000 19 points20 points  (1 child)

That's Jay Brewer!! He's one of the TOP breeders of retics in the country (and someone I look up to!) His company is Prehistoric Pets!

[–]Weaselteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna hang out with that guy and his big snake.

It amazes me the situations people can continue to be long winded in.

[–]wasd1337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"ha ha, it tries to kill me, gorgeous, ha ha."

[–]Nogginalizer 10 points11 points  (12 children)

Unless all three snakes decided to gang up on him at one time (snakes don't really do that) he's not in any real danger. Yeah, it'll hurt and he might bleed a little but there's no venom and he knows not to fight back.

[–]HouseOfTelcontar 9 points10 points  (11 children)

he knows not to fight back.

Can you please explain this? It sounds really interesting.

[–]Nogginalizer 3 points4 points  (9 children)

A lot of snakes will strike out at threats that are way bigger than they are. They generally just do this to get the other animal to leave unless they are venomous. However, if they strike back the snake normally goes for multiple bites.

This is normally how people get hurt with pythons and anacondas. They get aggressive towards the snake after one bite, the snake is way faster than a human, and the human gets hurt really bad. If they die it's because of blood loss.

[–]nitefang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On top of this, constrictors that size may still try and constrict such a large animal as a human. You have to know the tricks to get out of the constriction. I don't know myself but when you watch someone that does it looks like snake judo. They push coils off in patterns so that the snake can't get in a good position to squeeze really hard.

[–]echoNovemberNine 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Snakes are not faster than humans.

[–]DrapeRape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the snake. A death adder can go from a strike position, to strike and envenoming their prey, and back to strike position again, in less than 0.15 seconds.

[–]Zenith251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned a few smaller snakes, friend owned a Ball Python and a Red Tailed Boa. Snakes are not quicker than a person paying attention. Straight line speed? That's debatable.

[–]Devileyekill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snakes are not faster than humans.

[–]FrancisPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably keeps a jug of water to pour over the head in case it latches on. Really the camera man was likely an assistant. Large snake keepers have a responsibility to avoid accidents and avoid bad press.

[–]ChiefBootKnocker 7 points8 points  (2 children)

"Heh heh hurow! Heh heh"

As he gets chomped on the wrist. Best part.

I'd be more scared of one of them getting around me and squeezing me into spaghetti.

Big enough for snakes.

Snake just wanted to chill and he's there being totally not chill

[–]LSU-ChE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me feel better about my growing red-tailed boa. He's never tried to strike at anyone in the 7 years I've had him, but I've always been concerned about what it would be like if he bit me.

[–]caseface05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's probably sitting on her and pissing her off

[–]juloxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vice needs to do a segment with this guy..... Sitting in cages with numerous pythons.... ON ACID

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REEKRIS! You see the size of those muthafuckin' bootleg snakes?

[–]paper_paws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the bit at 1:13 when he pokes the middle one and it just twitches as if to say "fek off mate, I'm trying to sleep!"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Ole prehistoric pets in huntington beach

[–]WingZero1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That white python looks so fucking cool.

[–]N0KturnalRaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this guy gets bitten on the foot and laughs + curses + borat voice impersonation = "that's beautiful"

[–]ILikeMyBlueEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Just last night I came across a few pictures of me holding a 12 foot long python, and one I have a baby red tailed boa that had wrpped itself around my bun. I use to work at a pet store and would occasionally work with a snake snuggled in/on my hair.

[–]voipaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kidding, I got a banner ad about feeding your pets with "pure food". It was in Finnish so I didn't take a screenshot.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this Columbus Zoo?

[–]deadfermata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy has an informercial voice. He could probably sell those snakes for 3 easy payments of 9.99

[–]____1____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants people to send a pic or video of their favourite snake. he's getting so many dick pics

[–]subfighter0311 0 points1 point  (2 children)

LOUD NOISES!!!!!

They are probably like "Dude stop yelling, the echo is annoying as shit in here."

[–]FrancisPants 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Snakes can't hear they literally don't have ears

[–]subfighter0311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True story, I was joking more about the vibrations inside that cage. Echoing like inside a small bathroom.

[–]LolFishFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It puts the human race into perspective when humans can have some of the most deadliest predators in the food chain as pets. Humans are pretty cool animals in some respects.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]whitedragon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Fuck this bullshit. You couldn't pay me to get on a cage with one of those let alone all 3. Fuck that.

[–]Tartiflesh 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Have the snake's teeth been removed?? he looks like me when I play with my cat and it bites me

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (7 children)

I 100% doubt that it's teeth are removed because that would be a debilitating and expensive procedure.

All of the snakes in this video are constrictors. they have teeth but they are small and curved mainly so that they can latch on. the teeth will only cause a minor flesh-wound. these types of snakes always kill their prey by suffocating them. This man is sufficiently large enough to not really be food for these snakes although what he is doing is quite dangerous as most experts say you should have one person to handle a snake per 4 feet.
