I have no idea how that post ended up here.

Because merging posts are chronological in order, so your post got bumped down.

I always thought black mambas were a whitish colour.....and they got there name because of the colour inside their mouth

Still confused. I could swear I was looking at a different thread when I said I have no idea how it ended up here. Nevermind. Doesn't matter.

Black mamba's are gray. Always have been. Interior of the mouth is jet black.

It's scary to think how snakes this big can be just roaming around neighborhoods in some cities. If you start seeing a bunch of "Have you seen my Dog or Cat" posters... makes you think twice...

If I start seeing a bunch of "Have you seen my Dog or Cat" posters, the first thing I would suspect, is a two-legged animal. And what I would find scary, is the thought that "Have you seen my Dog or Cat", might soon turn into "Have you seen my Child".

That's a logical answer, and unfortunately it's probably the more likely. It's a very scary fact that people are capable of truly horrid acts with that intent in mind. An animal on the other hand is only capable of feeling it's base emotions and instincts

[ConcinusMan]

Sucks the snake had to die. Sucks even more that the video stopped short of identifying what the snake ate. You know darn well they found out. Seems likely it was a large pig.

I'm thinking the snake in the video is a T.elegans terrestis. What do you guys think?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfYomXXrtgU

[guidofatherof5]

I think it looks more vagransish :D to me but I certainly don't know much about this species/subspecies.

Be sure you watch the video before you try to I.D. the snake. Then you won't guess T.e.vagrans like I did.:D

[Stefan-A]

Looks more like a terrestris to me.

[guidofatherof5]

Looks more like a terrestris to me.

Sure it does. You watched the video first.:D

[ConcinusMan]

I've seen enough of them in the wild. Without even playing the video, I'd say T. e. terrestris. Definitely. Sometimes they do look a bit like vagrans. Vaugely, that is. Sometimes the only trace of red is a few splashes on the underside, sometimes the whole snake is red / rust colored.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

The people in the comments section didn't even think it was garter snake at all.

I know right! And they placed that in the "weird" section, like wtf -_-

[ConcinusMan]

Exploitation does not always equal abuse or unethical practices. For example, if we didn't exploit animals, a large portion of the worlds human population would starve to death and it's not just because we eat them. There are still places in the world that do not rely on petroleum to make farming possible. Those areas still do it the old fashioned way. The way it was done before the industrial revolution. They exploit animals to do much of the work for them. Even having a snake breeding business for profit, is exploitation.

"The "Golden Eagle Snatches Kid" video, uploaded to YouTube on the evening of December 18, was made by Normand Archambault, Loïc Mireault and Félix Marquis-Poulin, students at Centre NAD, in the production simulation workshop class of the Bachelors degree in 3D Animation and Digital Design.


The video shows a royal eagle snatching a young kid while he plays under the watch of his dad. The eagle then drops the kid a few feet away. Both the eagle and the kid were created in 3D animation and integrated in to the film afterwards."

Where and how did you find out this info?

[Stefan-A]

Where and how did you find out this info?
It's on every news site. Has been for a few hours.

[ConcinusMan]

The thing is, there have been cases where something similar actually happened. Nobody got it on film though.

[ProXimuS]

Too bad the eagle video is fake...I looked up the Golden Eagle after seeing that, and read their wingspan can get up to 7 feet:eek:


The dog driving video is super cool...But I think it's more cool as a trick..What if they are driving their handicapped owner around and someone swerves in front of them. Can they react fast enough to tell the dog to swerve, and continue to control the car?

[ConcinusMan]

In NE California, I've personally witnessed osprey (a large eagle with a 5 - 6 foot wingspan ) take salmon out of the water that must have been around 25 pounds. They struggle, but do manage to get enough lift to carry it away eventually. Not bad for a bird that weighs 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 pounds.

[ConcinusMan]

Jason White (daily reptile news) accidentally disturbed some brumating T. elegans'. Ooops. It's been getting down to around freezing at night in Sacramento. I hope they find another safe place to stay.

This video was making the rounds on Facebook with the caption - "This is a rare, but very possible reaction to using Prevent O Mite that is not listed on the side of the can. i was lucky and all my snakes made it past this phase 100% OK. This video is a 100% improvement from when I originally pulled them out of their tub. i was pretty confident at that time that they were all going to die."

[guidofatherof5]

Much depends on how it was used.

[ConcinusMan]

Exactly. It is already known, and dangers are listed on the can as far as I know. This reaction is nothing new. We know it will do that if sprayed on the animals, or if you don't give it enough time to completely dry or air out of the enclosures. They either sprayed it on the animals, or didn't wait long enough to put them back in the enclosure. If someone got this reaction, they failed to follow the instructions, simple as that.:cool:

Also, I wouldn't call that playing and what's the big deal even if it was?

Am I losing my mind ? Nothing Stefan. Nothing at all. Everything she did was perfectly normal and professional. I must have been hallucinating. I didn't see her constantly groping / patting /stroking a dead animal, I didn't hear her getting excited at skin coming off, as if was an erotic experience for her, and I didn't see her follow up by jerking a dead dog's **** and so what if I did. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all. Perfectly normal pastime. :rolleyes:

i dont know about awsome snake bites cant be fun, even with a small dose like he said it cant be good for you. i know about the immunity after awhile stuff but what if some told you about it and told you the wrong way to determine how much to use and they die. even with a small dose isnt it still painful and disorienting? that does not sound like a good 'high'. i would have to see a real medical study on effects of snake venom in small doses, im not going to take the advice from 'some guy' on youtube

[RedSidedSPR]

snake bites cant be fun

Yes they can.

[jwolfe152]

ok a hot snake bite cant be fun. envenomed, that just sounds horrible to me im sure i could handle a garter bite. ive been tail whipped by iguana's and a savanna monitor, granted i was like 12 but it hurt,tis part of the reason i dont get another of either lol. im sure 2 huge fangs sunk bone deep shooting venom into you cant feel good either. oh and there is the necrotic tissue after words too i like to keep my skin where it is, thank you very much.

im a little worried what that might have said.

i dont understand how he thinks that is a "high" hell i have done a few drugs that freaked me out but snake venom is not something i would ever try. how would it give you more energy or any other claims he made, i would think it would actually slow you down and make you sick. but whatever its his body :rolleyes:

I hope you yanks can see this. Simply incredible.

i seen a special on the science channel if i am not mistaken where 3 people was on a japanese fishing boat i believe looking for giant squid to capture on film it was so freaking amazing. the shear size of the squid and it was even missing the 2 longest tentacles i think they are feeding tentacles. it wont play for the people in the US, but the one i seen it was an old japanese scientist that was in the sub when they filmed it for the very first time.

but either way awesome stuff

[-MARWOLAETH-]

I found the clip that they showed on the programme :D

i know its not from you tube i could not find it there but its a really cool show on Discovery Channel and on the Science Channel, its a show called North America this is Season 1 Episode 3 "Learn Young or Die" but a little after 6:00 in it shows garter snakes from Manitoba, Canada (species?) emerging from dens and mating. They have some really nice close shots of them, i just thought it was cool i wish i could have found it on YouTube because this site has WAY to many ads and it takes FOREVER to load and no skipping ahead or it restarts.

Here is the link for a list of sites hosting the video Project Free TV :: North America :: Season 1 (http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/north_america/season_1.html) Episode 3 "Learn Young or Die"

does anyone else have a site like this Project Free TV - Watch all your favorite tv shows and movies online free (http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/) that they have used?

here is something else i happened to see while looking for that video http://www.uhaul.com/SuperGraphics/File/62/MainGraphic

yesterday i went to get some stuff from Sam's club and was talking about garters and mating/breeding and my mom said she saw something on tv about it and was thinking "i wonder what show?" well about an hour ago i go through my dvr list and see North America and started watching and there it was. i would love to see more footage like that, as in professional quality video with closeups and everything

[jwolfe152]

- If you've found a video that angers you, don't post it here.

Ignorance, usually.


if its WC parasites if its bought it seems a lot of money

It's his/her money. Pretty safe bet the garter is WC. Honestly this doesn't bother me any more than it would if someone was feeding WC parasite infested carp to his garter.

When I first moved back to WA in 1987 I brought WC CA kings with me. They wouldn't touch rodents so I did exactly what he/she did in this video before I even knew about the parasite risk. Not that I didn't love garters mind you, but I loved my kings too and didn't want them to starve to death. In California it was no big deal. I could catch half a dozen alligator lizards and feed my kings with the tails alone and let the lizards go. Only plentiful reptile here is T. ordinoides so I did what I had to do.

While I was skinning a doggy last night i realised i didn't know what the bloody hell I was looking at so I found this video:)

Awesome. Nice job Wayne and Dorothy I love the sound of a baby Robin.
Their cries will attract any adults in the area. Their baby or not they will protect and feed them.
Robins are awesome.

[infernalis]

The adults do show up while we are outside. every time.

I recently found a channel where this girl basically plays with foxes and sometimes a coyote (no anvils, safes, pianos, rockets, or dehydrated tornadoes were involved).

The channel is called "SaveAFox", and it's actually an animal rescue that takes in mostly foxes, though they do have a few minks, a coyote, some cats, at least one skunk, and a few reptiles.

The two main stars of the channel are Finnegan Fox and Dakota Coyote.
