Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video opens with the primary handler, Jay, approaching the enclosure of a large reticulated python. The python is coiled around a clutch of eggs. Jay uses a long snake hook to test the snake's temperament. The snake immediately becomes agitated, striking at the hook and displaying defensive behavior, including hissing and flaring its jaws. Jay explains that even normally tame snakes will become aggressive when protecting their eggs, and this particular snake is not typically tame. The goal is to separate the snake from the eggs.

Goal: Understand the snake's defensive posture and prepare for egg retrieval.

Tools and materials

  • Plastic Tray/Lid — Used as a barrier and a tool to gently push the snake
  • Snake Hook — Probing and manipulating the snake, and checking egg adhesion
