Kind of why I wanted to post it :)
I think there's probably exceptions to some of the things she said, but overall it gives people a decent idea how snakes (and cats, apparently) work.
.
Emily Does programs I believe which is part of why she's comfortable holding their snakes (except the anaconda). They also have an alligator named Rex and a macaw named Cheyenne that are both rescues
.
.
Another YTer that's pretty comfortable handling snakes (and he deals in the more deadly variety) is chandler's wildlife.
.
Don't need to watch this entire video, but gives an idea of HOW comfortable he is holding this particular King Cobra:

Ok, he's got some fun things to say, and yes, as you said, he's also comfy around snakes, the one thing Chandler and Emily has in common is that they know their animals really well, and that helps a lot
They definitely do, although Chandler is honestly really capable in his own right.
.
Example Given: (Posting this only if you're remotely interested also - no obligation), he manages to free-hand rescue 10 entirely wild king cobras:

.
I think the only species I've ever seen him struggle with is the Black Mamba (but tbf MOST snake owners won't even keep mambas, and the one he has is 12 feet long..), and maybe anacondas
.
Emily is really good at helping educate about much less dangerous species. They also have an alligator that was rescued (and neglected previously so she's permanently stunted)
That was definitely an interesting video to watch as he talked a little more into handling wild king cobras, and now I understand a bit more why Steve Irwin had the stance he did when approaching venomous snakes
There's only one species I believe, the Vipera Berus aka the common adder, it is well camouflaged so it's really hard to spot, unless it's a sunny day and it is soaking up some heat. The most common reason for getting bit is stepping on them, or if you're an idiot; picking it up
Yes, I think that's actually the reason for *most* snake bites tbh - people stepping on them by mistake. I think Canada has a similar situation where we have maybe one or two venomous species, but overall it's too cold for them
I mean, that just sounds like a good time.

Tbh I'm kind of grateful for the lack of venomous. I think venomous snakes are amazing, but that doesn't mean I want to find them in my toilet haha
