Boomslangs are so adorable, even the females!! They have pretty faces. She looks to be in good condition, probably shed recently, as shiny and uniform as she looks. She's probably never going to see another Boomslang either haha It's surprising, to me, how many Boomslangs make their way to you despite being non native to your locality. They must love to hitch rides. Great job, as always.
@amandastakeonit74022 жыл бұрын
She was in beautiful condition. The Boomslangs do occur naturally in my city, but only in certain areas. Where I got this girl I have never seen or heard of any being caught there. So she hitched a ride. But although they occur in my city, they are not common at all. I only catch maybe 4 or 5 per year.

I remember back in the 70's and 80's over here in Germany Boomslangs were described to be more dangerous than Green Mambas are and also more difficult to handle than a Green Mamba is to handle. But this video (beside other videos that I watched) clearly indicates that Boomslangs are very chilled snakes as long as one does not appear to be a potential threat to the snake.

Yes, the females are usually this colour. Very occasionally you get green females. Yes, it wasn't an allergic reaction. It didn't itch one bit.

I think because rattlesnakes hibernate and I don’t think snakes in South Africa do. You can’t move the rattlesnake too far or it won’t know where it’s winter den is and I think they automatically try to find their way back to the area where it is and most of them die of exhaustion or getting hit by cars.

They get up to about 2 metres (7 foot). She measured about 1.6 metres (5 foot), so she's a decent adult size. Their venom is very concentrated. A single drop of their venom can probably kill about 15 humans. Whereas a single drop of Black Mamba venom can probably kill 2 or 3 humans. So they are a lot more venomous. But... When they bite, they only deliver a microscopic amount of venom, whereas a Mamba would inject a lot more venom.

Hi, greetings from New Zealand, really enjoy this channel. Thankfully, we don't encounter land snakes in NZ, we get the occasional sea snake, highly venomous, but very docile. You should visit Australia, they have the Eastern Brown snake and varieties of tiger snake, both of which are highly venomous and aggressive, and all manner of venomous snakes and python. Take care out there.

Yes, they have very slow metabolic rates and do not need to eat that often. A meal every well or two would be enough for most species. Some species like Gaboon Adders might only eat 6 to 8 times in a year.

@clusikko Жыл бұрын
Technically the most venomous is a Boomslang, but a Mambas venom is much quicker acting and a far more life threatening bite than a Boomslang bite. So the most dangerous snake in Africa is definitely the Black Mamba

Hi Jason, I love that you keep uploading more frequently. It´s always a joy to watch you handle the snakes. How cool that your channel is finally getting more viewers.
Thank you Tanja. Yes, very cool. I'm very grateful and I really hope it continues to grow 👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
Mr. Arnold, I've been watching your videos daily ever since I first heard about you.. no doubt your the best snake catcher I've ever seen and your so chilled, unlike some famous tattoo snake catcher who's always sweating when dealing with such creatures... SALUTE to you
Hahaha 🤣😂 I appreciate it, Moeletsi. Thank you so much 🙏🏻👍🏻💪🏻 Simon is a great handler and a good friend. Unfortunately these tv people kind of own you and dictate the way they want you to be, how you must act and what you must say.
It's really nice to see how gentle you are with these snakes. They are actually quite beautiful and misunderstood.
Absolutely JJ. They are extremely misunderstood and unfairly persecuted. They are actually such peaceful animals.
She's an absolute beauty 😍 I love watching you, you're so loving towards all these cheeky little snakes and any reptile, thank you for being a safety net and a voice for them all you're one in a million, just lovely. Thank you for these videos also and the education you provide, please stay safe on your travels xx
She certainly is a beauty 😊 Glad you enjoy my videos 👍🏻👌🏻 Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@jasonarnold-snakeman how long was it?
@@thedisabledwelshman9266 She was about 1.7m (nearly 6 foot)
Boomslangs are so adorable, even the females!! They have pretty faces. She looks to be in good condition, probably shed recently, as shiny and uniform as she looks. She's probably never going to see another Boomslang either haha It's surprising, to me, how many Boomslangs make their way to you despite being non native to your locality. They must love to hitch rides. Great job, as always.
She was in beautiful condition. The Boomslangs do occur naturally in my city, but only in certain areas. Where I got this girl I have never seen or heard of any being caught there. So she hitched a ride. But although they occur in my city, they are not common at all. I only catch maybe 4 or 5 per year.
You are just the best, Jason. You help people, you respect them, you understand the importance of what this means to their livelihood, you NEVER degrade……it’s just really nice. I appreciate your efforts so much. Thank you so much.
I really appreciate your kind words and your support. Thank you Kelli😊💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Such a flippin gorgeous snake, the facial structure is just beautiful.
You are amazing!! You really have a gift!! You're doing just what you should be doing!!
What a shy, pretty girl! Thanks for *ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!*
Always a good watch. Good job Jason! Stay safe out there!!! Thank you for the video.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Extremely informative and enjoyable. Thank you Jason.
Appreciate it, Eric. Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you for saving her. Most people would just kill her just because she’s venomous. It’s not her fault she was born a venomous snake. She has every right to live her life just like we do. Thank you again for what you do.
I wish more people had your mentality and understanding 🙏🏻👌🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Nice catch. That are the benefits of KZhead in todays time. I remember back in the 70's and 80's over here in Germany Boomslangs were described to be more dangerous than Green Mambas are and also more difficult to handle than a Green Mamba is to handle. But this video (beside other videos that I watched) clearly indicates that Boomslangs are very chilled snakes as long as one does not appear to be a potential threat to the snake.
Correct Werner. Boomslang are extremely calm, gentle snakes. They have a beautiful temperament 😊👍🏻
Hey Jason! I was just going to ask which type of venom she has and you told us. Good job!
Thanks a lot for your fascinating videos and what you do for these misunderstood creatures! I am watching from Germany. Your videos remind me of three wonderful weeks in South Africa that were among the happiest time in my life.
Nice catch Jason. Boomers are some of my favorite snakeys. There are quite a few in the pet trade here in the US, that are an emerald green as juvis, and turn jet black as adults. It's said they descended from a group of them that came from somewhere in Tanzania...Just thought you might find that interesting...
Awesome 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love how you are so chilled & relaxed when handling the snakes & the humans 😉 This Boomslang - she is a gorgeous girl 🐍 and she be happy back in the bush. So happy I found your channel. We don’t get snakes here in New Zealand but I have always been fascinated by them., Iv only ever seen them in a reptile park in Australia. Marianne NZ
I would not want to live in a country without snakes, especially since that means they are not going to allow them as pets either. I know NZ is beautiful, but nope.
I'm glad you found my channel too, Marianne 😋😊🙏🏻😁
Me neither. Beautiful country, but no Reptiles. I'd be without work 🙈🙈🙈🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

What a chilled snake!! Great capture as always and they’ll be a lot happier when and where you release it. 👍👍
They sure are. Such awesome snakes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@jasonarnold-snakeman 👍🐍
Funny how different Boomslangs are in the wild. In captivity they've been know to chase keepers across the room, most keepers are very wary of them. They're even a different colour in captivity, they go black. So nice to see a wild girlie behaving so nicely. Thank you for this video. All reptiles should be left in the wild as it's so unfair to keep them like they're kept in captivity. 🐍💕🐍
I don't know what Boomslang morph you guys are keeping there, but Boomslang are always very chilled snakes. Wild and especially captive ones 🤦🏻♂️🙈👍🏻 The black specimens is not a captive thing, it's just the colouration of males from the Cape location which are more sought after in captivity.
I did not think they got so large.. Must have been males I have seen rescued. Beautiful girl there, tempered nice as well. She knew she was not in danger.(they can tell).. You're channel deserves more subscribers, quality content.
Yes they can get pretty large. Up to about 2 metres (7 foot). They are beautiful in both looks and personality 👌🏻 And thank you so much, I'm really hoping my subscriber numbers increase to large numbers 🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻😊
great job mate, good to see the real SA as it is today, I realise it's pretty bloody unsafe there, all the very best (from Australia)

First time seeing a boomslang of that color. Also first time seeing swelling like that from non venomous. I almost died from a bee sting when I was a kid. Have you been tested for an allergy Mr Arnold?
Yes, the females are usually this colour. Very occasionally you get green females. Yes, it wasn't an allergic reaction. It didn't itch one bit. I think it's just the body's natural defence, to swell in the area of any trauma. By the time I reached home I just had lots of tiny red punctures. No swelling.
You are fun to watch, this one made me nervous even though I know you know what your doing. Looking forward to more videos.
Hahaha 😊 Appreciate it, Cathy. Thank you 😊👍🏻
Aww cute little snake and its so calm 😊
Definitely 😊👍🏻
I used to hate/ be scared of snakes but your videos have made me love snakes, this snake looks extremely beautiful to me. Im still afraid of them and will never freehandle any kind of snake but i love to admire them from a computer screen in Estonia.
Haha. Thank you HD Konvick. If making you feel less fearful of snakes is what my videos have achieved, then I'm very happy 😊👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻

Awesome. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it 👍🏻💪🏻🙏🏻 I've only had 2 bites from highly venomous snakes - A Mozambique Spitting Cobra in 2001 and a Black Mamba in 2002. Both were dry bites (no venom injected). 😳😱🫣😨
Awesome climber this Boomslang. 👍
Absolutely amazingly graceful through the trees 👌🏻👍🏻
Another great video for your utube people. Enjoy them all
Thank you James. Appreciate it 🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I enjoy watching the entire video, of course; but I really do like the release, most. It's great to see and always feels good. Always in a nice, quiet area. I love watching them disappear. Just, gone; and happy.
Such a docile snake and so fascinating how quick u learn an individual snakes temperament and know how to handle them.
😊🙏🏻👍🏻
however one bite from that its game over no antivenom
There actually is an antivenom produced specifically for the Boomslang. It's the Monovalent antivenom produced by SAVP (South African Vaccine Producers). And it's an extremely effective antivenom.
Love the Boomslang. Beautiful huge eyes. Question. We do the same service here in California. Do you need to relocate close to the site you find them? Rattlesnake studies have shown no further than 1-2 miles for them to survive. Just curious. Thanks.
That's great 👍🏻 We haven't had any studies done here, that I know of. But I try as far as possible to not release further than 10km's from where I caught them.
@@jasonarnold-snakeman greet stuff. Glad there are fellow snake lovers out there.
Just subscribed to your channel 👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻
I think because rattlesnakes hibernate and I don’t think snakes in South Africa do. You can’t move the rattlesnake too far or it won’t know where it’s winter den is and I think they automatically try to find their way back to the area where it is and most of them die of exhaustion or getting hit by cars.
@@thisisgoodnews8043 We stay within 1-2 square miles when we relocate. Difficult to say how many survive but it’s way better than a shovel to their heads.
What a beautiful creature.
Isn’t the Vine Snake more toxic than the Boomslang? What’s the fatality rate from a Boomslang without antivenin?
I wouldn't say it's more toxic, it's just that there is no antivenom produced for it's bite. Bites are EXTREMELY rare and can be treated symptomatically.
@@jasonarnold-snakeman But what would happen if a Boomslang bit you and you didn’t get antivenin? Is it for sure 100% fatal?
I love seeing the releases and the effort Jason puts into that
Hi Jason. Wow i feel so sorry you doing all this danegerous work. May God Allways protect you. BLESS YOU.
Don't be sorry. It's my passion. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT 😊👍🏻 Thank you for your concern and support 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a beautiful snake so different from the male colour.
They are very beautiful snakes 👌🏻👍🏻
Great work Jason. Have you ever been tagged by a venomous snake? Just curious since you handle and relocate a lot of venomous snakes.
Yes. 5 bites in 30 years. 3 Night Adders, 1 Mozambique Spitting Cobra and 1 Black Mamba. None of the bites were serious and didn't need antivenom. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
@@jasonarnold-snakeman thanks for the reply. Glad that they weren't serious. Keep up the sterling work🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏻
@@jasonarnold-snakeman how is it even possible to get bitten by a mamba and it not be serious? the "bite" must have not really penetrated your skin
It sure penetrated. That fang went it's full length into the tip of my thumb. My thumb was throbbing for about 24 hours. But only very very mild localized symptoms of a very intense sensation of pins and needles in my thumb and up into my hand. Maybe just residual venom on the fang. Or the snake maybe just didn't release any venom, or had a blocked fang or venom duct or something. Only one fang got me.
Sou brasileiro e gosto de ver seus vídeos, seria interessante que vc adicionasse legendas nos seus vídeos. Abraços e boa sorte sempre...

What a beautiful girl, well done Jason
Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Hi Jason. Is the Ld50 Count a joke? What do you think? How can a snake 50 times more potent than the Indian Cobra kill nobody?
Hi Strinie. Purely because the venom is very slow working, so patients easily get to a hospital in time. And the antivenom for this snakes bite is very effective. That's why so few people die from the bite. 🙏🏻
@@jasonarnold-snakeman Hi.Jason. i was referring to the inland taipan lol. not the boomslang which has killed people.

Whats the name of this snake?
It's an African Tree Snake (Boomslang)
Hi guess a new video loading soon from the mount edgecombe golf course area🤐🤐🤐🤐
She’s big - is that as big as they get Jason?? 2 part question are they more venomous than black mambas?
They get up to about 2 metres (7 foot). She measured about 1.6 metres (5 foot), so she's a decent adult size. Their venom is very concentrated. A single drop of their venom can probably kill about 15 humans. Whereas a single drop of Black Mamba venom can probably kill 2 or 3 humans. So they are a lot more venomous. But... When they bite, they only deliver a microscopic amount of venom, whereas a Mamba would inject a lot more venom.
@@jasonarnold-snakeman awesome thanks buddy
You made it look so easy but catching such a venomous snake needs lot of skill and courage but please do wear protective gloves if possible
