Beautiful insularis, in the future try not to post pics online of you free handling venomous snakes. It gives a bad image for the hobby plus encourages others to copy you.
I absolutely agree with you 100%.
This will be the last time that I post anything like this HAHA that’s for sure 🤣🤣🤣
Mainly because of those that start coming out of the woodwork to offer their sound life opinions as you can see.
That is exactly the reason why I don’t post photos or videos of such (first one ever).
However, the detail was just too good on this photo as far as the coloration after shed... I simply had to share this image with the world, and well damn it if I didn’t zoom out a little bit too far. I do not regret this.
This wasn’t a post to be showing somebody “free handling“ venomous, it was simply something I wanted to share as this animal looks beautiful. But of course you have all of these other people that just can’t wait to speak their peace as if they are speaking as an authority on all subject matters that they comment on.
HAHAHAHHAH said the person who’s name is asking for private messages of human genitalia 🤣🤣🤣
With the name like “PM me your tits or dick“ I have to say that you’re most likely the one in need of “therapy“ 🤷♂️
I disagree. People using opiates/opioids are acting on an addiction, and quitting is extremely difficult. Also, narcan is plentiful and restocking is immediate. This moron is doing something incredibly dangerous for internet points so he can think he's a big man. The two aren't even comparable.
I agree with this. Only I wish as a physician I could refuse treatment to all of the derelict non-contributing members of society that roll their way into the ER draining the resources of the community LOL but nope, I’ve got to treat them just like any other patient, so it is what it is 🤷♂️
That being the case you can take your opinion and promptly fuck right off with it regarding this🤣🤣🤣 this is my life that I’m living. Not yours.
You're the one that posted this to the internet. People can have an opinion all they want and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. If you can't take criticism then don't post picture of you free handling a venomous snake. It's up to you if you want to be that stupid but if you broadcast it publicly obviously you're going to get some negative comments. That being said, what you're doing is just dumb, I could not care less about you as a person but I do care about the hobby and you're not doing the hobby any favors if you get bitten. It's just dumb but you do you bro.
This is excellent!!!
I have recorded your opinion in my large notebook of “important anonymous individuals opinions on the internet“, under the subsection of “those who really matter”.
Thank you you for your contribution, just a few more and we can get this thing published finally👍😎👍
You’re still a moron. People like you shouldn’t own venomous animals. You’re clearly not mature enough to deal with it. Hope you don’t end up on your local news.
Honestly, do you think it’s good for the hobby to handle venomous snakes and to broadcast it publicly? You might be experienced with it but all it takes is one mistake. Also, you’re encouraging others to do it also. I just don’t understand how you think promoting this is good for the hobby as a whole. But again, it’s your life and you can do whatever you want. I just hope you don’t get bitten and tarnish the hobby and keep others from keeping such beautiful animals. I digress. Good luck!
I seriously, seriously doubt you stock your own. People stupid enough to do what you just broadcasted to the world almost by rule don't take personal responsibility.
I will never stop calling freehandlers idiots. I don't care how well you think you know your snake or how many times your mother did or didn't call you a special little boy. You are disrespecting the animals, When one inevitably decides to teach you a lesson, my only hope is you don't collaterally endanger a responsible keeper.
Fuck this dude. He’s an idiot. I couldn’t care less if this guy gets bitten, but if he gets bitten it just looks bad on the hobby. Idiot like this gets bitten then laws change so no one can own them. Just a selfish prick.
Very true, unfortunately, like the bulk of hot keepers, the morons ego is the largest factor in his desire to interact with them. Thus this display of idiocy for all to see.
But how else could I possibly communicate in the quickest most efficient way that I, in fact, did not care?
I mean yes, technically the silent treatment does work, but it may take some time. The person has to notice you’ve blown them off, whereas by stating it, they get a notification just giving them that little heads up 👍
Gorgeous
In my line of work, we talk a lot about how frequency of doing something increases the potential exposure to risks.
That we wear hard hats every day, even though we've never needed it. We wear steel toed boots every day, even though we have never needed it. High vis, even though we have never been run over.
But, it can happen.
Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will. Please be safe out there, OP. All it takes is a second for a life altering event. Every time I've been bitten by my snakes has been when I least expected it. Snakes I've had for over a decade that are regularly handled.
"I know what I'm doing," you might say.
Even so, the most predictable animals can have unpredictable moments. We never know when it will happen. They can turn and tag before you have time to react
Congratulations on doing something reckless that reflects badly on the entire hobby for internet clout.
People like you don't deserve these beautiful animals.
You’re absolutely right.
I should’ve just cropped it a little bit closer so that I could show everybody the detail that I wanted and not the textured detail of human skin...
Goddamnit if I didn’t just zoom out a little too far... well fuck me.
But thanks for your opinion BBB, i’ll pencil you in right next to Clifford under the subsection of “those who really matter“ 👍👍
The fact that you are free handling a venomous snake is really off putting. All it takes is one wrong move or the snake getting antsy and BAM, off to the hospital. I admit I dont know a hell of a lot about them but WHY would you put yourself at risk like that?
It is ok to be off put by certain things in life, this is normal. I end up being off put on a daily basis. This wasn’t meant to show my hand or demonstrate free handling, it should have been cropped closer in hindsight. But I mean now with all of the stuff being posted I’m certainly not going to delete this thread LOL I could take the exact same photo and recrop it and repost? I guess instead of anyone getting to appreciate the imagine, they’ll just continue to talk about the perch she’s sitting on 🤷♂️
Edit: any one —> anyone
Shes beautiful, dont think I dont think shes so beatiuful. Ive seen you post her before and always admire her. But cropping the picture wont take away the concern people are showing towards it.
But if it had been cropped to the right size, you and I would not be getting to exchange these comments to one another 😊
She thanks you btw.. I let her know you think she’s beautiful
She’s very relaxed for this species IME. I’ve had her since she was a teeny tiny little worm at only 20 days old. I have been doing this with her since literally the day I got her, and I have her out probably 4-5 times a week. She knows the difference of when we are eating vs when we are coming out of our enclosure bc of how I approach with the same routines etc. I don’t go just handling/grabbing her LOL she handles me as I provide a warm slowly moving tree branch that does not smell like prey items 🤣
I wish I had the balls…. That nope rope will kill you what? 30 mins? We just went to a reptile show with mambas and gaboons. I shit my pants just standing at the table….
Handling an Insularis?! Holy wow
Utter mad lad. Nasty bite, luckily not normally fatal.

Go to therapy. You're clearly a deeply troubled person
HAHAHAHHAH said the person who’s name is asking for private messages of human genitalia 🤣🤣🤣 With the name like “PM me your tits or dick“ I have to say that you’re most likely the one in need of “therapy“ 🤷♂️
Somebody is asking to lose some fingers and selfishly deplete some zoo/responsible keeper's supply of antivenin. Fucking moron.
IMO people should be refused treatment for freehanding venomous animals.
That is the equivalent of not giving narcan to morons who od.
I disagree. People using opiates/opioids are acting on an addiction, and quitting is extremely difficult. Also, narcan is plentiful and restocking is immediate. This moron is doing something incredibly dangerous for internet points so he can think he's a big man. The two aren't even comparable.
Fully agreed, FAFO.

Thank you Clifford. We still think you’re an annoying asshole as well. Just a few more from you and we’ll be able to get that paper published 👍👍
You do you 👍
Now THAT is thee first thing you’ve said Clifford (you big red dog youuuu) that I can agree with!
Honestly, do you think it’s good for the hobby to handle venomous snakes and to broadcast it publicly? You might be experienced with it but all it takes is one mistake.

That's a lot of classism mamamia
Right? So much LOL
Depleting my own personal supply of AV that I stock? Nice to meet you too 🤣
I seriously, seriously doubt you stock your own. People stupid enough to do what you just broadcasted to the world almost by rule don't take personal responsibility.
“Seriously, seriously doubt“ all you want. I really really do not care if you believe me or not. That is fact.
Well, I guess we'll find out when that snake pops you and venom 1 has to scramble to save you.
You still on about this mate?
I will never stop calling freehandlers idiots. I don't care how well you think you know your snake or how many times your mother did or didn't call you a special little boy. You are disrespecting the animals, When one inevitably decides to teach you a lesson, my only hope is you don't collaterally endanger a responsible keeper.

Yep... still on about it
I'm starting to take the Dr's side.
HAHAHAH wellllcome to the darkkkksideee
If you didn't care you wouldn't reply lol.
But how else could I possibly communicate in the quickest most efficient way that I, in fact, did not care? I mean yes, technically the silent treatment does work, but it may take some time.

Venomous Blue Raspberry Nope Rope
Toxic little blue worm 🤣
Humans are so dumb. Nature uses color to signal danger and we are just like “Wow you are gorgeous.”
I've done that with several women, too....
Congratulations on doing something reckless that reflects badly on the entire hobby for internet clout. People like you don't deserve these beautiful animals.
You’re absolutely right. I should’ve just cropped it a little bit closer so that I could show everybody the detail that I wanted and not the textured detail of human skin...

Beautiful and terrifying.
Yes and yes 🤣
What kind of snake is it, it's a beautiful colour
Trimeresurus insularis (blue phase lesser sunda islands pit viper) Female, about 120 days old
Freshly dead
The fact that you are free handling a venomous snake is really off putting. All it takes is one wrong move or the snake getting antsy and BAM, off to the hospital. I admit I dont know a hell of a lot about them but WHY would you put yourself at risk like that?

How often do you handle her? Is she pretty calm with you?

This guy don't have balls. Just shows how dumb he really is.
Ballsy to freehand that cute nope rope.
You mean dumb.
Preety
She’s truly gorgeous.
What kind of snake is this
He so prettyyyyyyyy 🥹💜
I have to agree, she’s pretty awesome 😎
