The Malayan Pit Viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) has a reputation for being bad-tempered and quick to strike. In Malaysia they are responsible for roughly 700 incidents of snakebite annually. It is a remarkably sedentary snake, and it has often been found in the same spot several hours after an incident involving humans. Its venom causes severe pain and local swelling and sometimes tissue necrosis, but fortunately deaths are not common. Many victims are left with dysfunctional or amputated limbs due to the lack of anti-venom and early medical treatment They make hardy and attractive captives but they are definitely NOT a beginner species at all.

Hey YouTube, It is JP Wittstock from Oracle Reptiles. We are a private reptile facility situated in Durban, South Africa. This is a short video that we made for you on our new White Lipped Tree Vipers babies that were born at our facility today. We hope you enjoy it. They are a hardy and easy to keep species which makes them popular to many reptile keepers. They are often mistakenly considered mildly venomous, but to underestimate their venom is a mistake you don't want to make.

https://teamseas.org/ Covering more than 70 percent of our planet, oceans are among the earth’s most valuable natural resources. They govern the weather, clean the air, help feed the world, and provide a livelihood for millions of people around the world. They also are home to most of the life on earth, from microscopic plankton to the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. Yet we are bombarding the oceans relentlessly with pollution. Currently ocean pollution affects more than 800 animal species around the world, a figure that has increased by over 20% in the last 5 years alone. Plastic is one of the most common causes of ocean pollution. As a content creator and someone who lives in the coastal city of Durban which is situated on the east coast of South Africa, I together with hundreds of creators (including all your favourites MrBeast, Marques Brownlee, Mark Rober and many many more), have been called on to create awareness of this global catastrophe in partnership with #teamseas in an effort to raise enough money to initially remove 30 million pounds (13.6 million kgs) of plastic pollution from the ocean #TeamSeas have partnered up with Ocean Conservancy to organise massive volunteer beach clean ups and cleaning up pollution in the oceans. They have also partnered with the The Ocean Cleanup to tackle the rivers and to install trash collecting robots in the estuaries and rivers and in doing so stop the plastic from reaching the oceans in the first place. We need your help to reverse some of the damage we have done to our oceans. Please head over to https://teamseas.org/ right now and show your support. Every $ raised is 1 pound of trash out of the ocean. https://teamseas.org/ You can follow us on any of our social media links below to stay in touch: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxapRD7GpiikcfNRAu2f6kw Website: https://www.oraclereptiles.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oraclereptiles/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oraclereptiles/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/OracleReptiles Mewe: http://mewe.com/join/oraclereptiles Affiliate links. https://www.camerastuff.co.za/shop?a_aid=OracleReptiles for all the photographic and filming equipment you'll ever need

Recently we travelled up to Qunu Falls Lodge near Ixopo to enjoy a weekend in the mountains.

Hey Everyone, This last week has been an exceptionally painful week for the residents of Durban, South Africa. The supporters of the disgraced former president Jacob Zuma went on a rampage and caused billions of rands worth of damage to buildings, businesses, roads and Durban in general. In the midst of all this chaos and in the aftermath of a fire deliberately set at his premises by looters, a good friend of mine, Mark Hellestoe, donated a substantial amount of meat that could no longer be sold, to Crocworld Conservation Centre. This generous act will ensure that the crocodiles and birds of prey at Crocworld Conservation Centre will be well fed for quite some time to come.
