But they're safe. And to prove how safe they are, Greg's got to put it around its neck. No, you know, Greg already asked me, don't ask me to touch it. Okay. And I respect that from Greg. All right, Dan? So Greg is sitting here like a normal human being.

I'm right here. That's why I'm right here. I'm here. Is there like a release valve? What are you talking about? I am right here. The snake is totally, as a matter of fact, see how it's calm right now? Because Dan emits body heat. And when he emits the body heat, it calms the snake down. It gets rejuvenated by the body heat. It's a little cool in the studio here. So you see the tongue flicking out?

Listen, you don't get any cooties from the tongue. The tongue is basically, it's collecting little chemical particles in the air that go back into the mouth, and there's an organ in the roof of the mouth of all snakes called the Jacobson's organ. It's like a little computer, and it tells the snake what's around it.

So guys, if you just understand these animals, you would have a much greater appreciation for them. They really are fascinating. So many snakes get persecuted because of people like Stoogots!

Absolutely. There are several types of constrictors, large constrictors. There are a big group of boas. There are pythons. Pliskins. These are all many species that occur in those two groups that have the capability of constricting a person. Ron, quick question. Do snakes have ears? No, that's a good question. Snakes do not have ears.

Snakes do not have external ears as we know them, so they can never hear anything. Another thing snakes don't have is they don't have eyelids, so they can't close their eyes. Okay, well, you did it. They can't close their eyes, so that's why they always look like they're awake, but they're not. They can sleep with their eyes open. Wow. So they don't have external ears.

Of course, they don't have legs, but they do have... The remnants of a pelvis. So there's actually these little spurs here. This is a female, so her spurs are small. But males have bigger spurs, and those are actually vestigial legs from when snakes actually had legs. People think snakes are so old because they don't have legs that they evolved to grow legs. No, they evolved to lose their legs.

So they're actually an advanced type of reptile.

He doesn't listen. He just has this fear. He has this fear. Animals are incredible, guys. You just need to understand them. I'm not saying be careless with them. Don't put yourself at risk. Just understand them.

I don't know if it would be the most exotic or the strangest, and I don't know if most people would classify it as an animal. I do, but it was this massive beetle in the Amazonian forest that I was with a group of indigenous people, an indigenous tribe in the forest, and this was part of their diet, and they also had a massive... maggot, for lack of a better term.

It's kind of a larval stage that, you know, was put into kind of a hot fryer and given to me to eat. And I ate it out of respect to the people.
