I also really enjoy Dav Kaufman with the Reptile Channel. He has this cool eccentric vibe that I enjoy. I get such a kick everytime the show begins with Rainbow Mealworms presents.... I never before imagined mealworms being branded, let alone sponsoring a show!

I used to watch the Viper Keeper, in fact it was his videos that reignited my interest in snake-keeping. But it just got so repetitive. He has all these beautiful and fascinating snakes, but he never really gives any detail on them. He just says its a such and such, and then we watch in silence as he feeds it a thawed mouse. Every episode is a huge missed opportunity to educate a clearly interested audience.

I also don't like that he is constantly having shedding issues. I'm a rank novice to be sure, but as I understand it, difficulties shedding are indicative of health/stress problems.

thanks for the commentary on the other youtubers. I'm always looking for new snake videos to watch!
I just checked out The Viper Keeper and have to say that his intro seems a bit reckless. Also not sure it's a good idea not having locks on enclosures containing venomous snakes but I guess he's the expert lol. I have a feeling it's a case of 'when' rather than 'if' he gets bitten.
