00:00It's Rhinos Day, Pet's Day, that's why we have another pet with us today.

00:04Actually, not just one, there's a lot of them.

00:06They're a community.

00:07The one you're holding is...

00:09Esmeralda.

00:11Esmeralda.

00:12This is Bonifacio.

00:13Yes, and it's just in time because it's the Year of the Wood Snake,

00:16that's why we have a lot of snakes with us today.

00:21But before that, how can we get to know these pets better?

00:28Let's watch this first.

00:30The Burmese Pythons are native to Southeast Asia,

00:38and they are one of the largest species of snakes in the world.

00:42They can grow up to 23 feet or more,

00:46and weigh up to 200 pounds.

00:49They may look scary,

00:51but because of their size,

00:53they are known for being calm and gentle.

00:57It's sad to think about it,

00:59but there are some of them that are pets,

01:02but they are not properly cared for.

01:05Because of that, we will find out

01:07how to properly take care of Burmese Pythons.

01:11This Wednesday, Pet's Day.

01:16And because of that, we have a wildlife conservationist,

01:21Jens Del Rosario,

01:22and he's taking care of Burmese Pythons.

01:25Good morning, Jens, and welcome back to Rosario's Shiny Paws.

01:28Hi, Jens.

01:29Please introduce us to your Pythons.

01:32This is a Hypo Burmese Python.

01:35This is Esperanza.

01:36Hypo? Is there something like that?

01:38What's the difference?

01:39This coloration is called Hypo.

01:42It's light, albino.

01:43The white one is Blizzard.

01:45Okay, and what's the other one on the table?

01:47This is Pearl.

01:48This is Bonifacio,

01:50this is Esmeralda Esperanza,

01:51and this is...

01:52This is...

01:53Don't say Blizzard.

01:54She doesn't have a name yet.

01:55I don't have a name yet.

01:56Where did you get the names?

01:58I just like the old names.

02:01But for Esperanza,

02:02someone told you that Esperanza should have a name.

02:05Esmeralda.

02:06Who's Esmeralda?

02:07I just thought of her.

02:09So two girls and two males.

02:12No, three girls.

02:14Oh, three girls.

02:15Even the pythons have their own personalities,

02:19like humans.

02:22There are Burmese pythons.

02:25They're kind,

02:26but there are snakes, too.

02:28Even Burmese pythons,

02:29if they're not well-behaved since they're babies,

02:32they can be brave.

02:33Okay, so even when they're young,

02:35they should be well-behaved.

02:36It's the same for humans.

02:37When humans are young,

02:39they should be trained to be good dogs.

02:41Yes, the formative years.

02:43That's how it should be.

02:44They should be well-behaved when they grow up.

02:47So what are the usual things you feed them?

02:50What's the right way to take care of them?

02:52For hatchlings,

02:53like these small ones,

02:54we feed them with mice.

02:56Mice.

02:57But for these big ones,

02:58we feed them with chickens.

03:01Oh, okay.

03:02So how old are Esperanza and Esmeralda?

03:07They're four years old.

03:09Four years old.

03:10And how long are they?

03:11They're about six feet long.

03:13Actually, they're the same age.

03:14Okay.

03:15Are they the two with the biggest snout?

03:17No, there's more.

03:18There's a bigger one?

03:19It's hard for me to pet them.

03:21You're not happy with that?

03:22They're very friendly,

03:24in fairness.

03:25She's talking to you.

03:26Oh, hi there.

03:27Here's another one.

03:28She's petting me.

03:29Yes, they're very friendly.

03:31So for those who want to take care of them,

03:34what tips can you give them?

03:36Is this an air-conditioned room?

03:37Yes.

03:38Actually, they can't sleep in an air-conditioned room

03:40because they're cold-blooded animals.

03:43They prefer warm temperatures.

03:46Okay.

03:47Of course, my tip is to have a long-term commitment

03:51because they're 20 to 30 years old.

03:54They're that old?

03:55Yes.

03:56And they're growing up,

03:57so we need space.

03:59If we have a small house,

04:00of course, we can't take care of them like this.

04:03And of course, we should get them from a legal source.

04:05That's right.

04:06That's important.

04:07What are the things that make you stressed

04:10when it comes to pets like this?

04:12Yes.

04:13What are the reasons why you're so talkative?

04:15We get stressed when, for example,

04:17they come from the wild,

04:18and we catch them,

04:19and we take care of them.

04:21But these are captive-bred animals

04:23that have been taken care of since they were eggs.

04:26That's why they're so used to people.

04:27So they don't get stressed anymore.

04:29Okay.

04:30Some people cage them.

04:31Is that okay?

04:32Yes.

04:33Actually, for me,

04:34it's not advisable to cage them

04:35because, like I said,

04:37they can injure themselves.

04:40They can get hurt.

04:42Yes.

04:43Do you also bathe them?

04:45Yes, you can bathe them.

04:47You can also soap them.

04:48Do you brush their fur?

04:50Yes, I brush their fur.

04:51Try it.

04:52I don't want to.

04:53Okay.

04:54How much is Burmese Python now?

04:56As you can see,

04:57it has different colors.

04:59So it also depends on the color.

05:01Ah, okay.

05:02Is it more expensive?

05:03It's more expensive

05:04if they have more genes

05:05or if their genes are more rare.

05:07Like all of them,

05:08Blizzard is more expensive because...

05:10This one doesn't have spots?

05:11Yes.

05:12Because it has three genes.

05:14Three genes?

05:15Yes.

05:16Okay.

05:17That's why it's white.

05:18This one is albino.

05:20Can you buy a big one like this?

05:22Yes, you can.

05:23Ah, you can.

05:24But of course, you have to take care of it.

05:26Does it get cold?

05:27Does it get itchy?

05:28No.

05:29If it gets itchy,

05:30it can get itchy.

05:31Ah, okay.

05:32So how much are these small ones?

05:34If it's this color,

05:35it's around 2,500 to 5,000.

05:372,500 to 5,000?

05:38You can take care of Burmese Python.

05:40But if it's this white,

05:41you can just clean it.

05:42It's not that scary.

05:44It's around 10,000 to 15,000.

05:4615,000?

05:47This one?

05:48Yes.

05:49So I have to take care of this

05:50because it's more expensive than the other one.

05:52Okay.

05:53Hey, is this a good luck?

05:54Is it true?

05:55Yes.

05:56Do you believe in it?

05:57Yes.

05:58It's been a long time

05:59even if it's not the Year of the Snake.

06:00It costs you a lot.

06:01That's what you believe in?

06:02Yes.

06:03Actually, for me,

06:04it's the Year of the Snake.

06:05Ah, okay.

06:06So for me,

06:07it's really a good luck.

06:08So in your house,

06:09Jens always brings exotic animals here.

06:12So is it okay for them

06:14to mess with dogs,

06:16cats,

06:17and things like that?

06:18Actually, I don't really let them near me.

06:20But their cage is clear,

06:24so they can see our dogs

06:26slowly.

06:27But they don't become aggressive?

06:29No, they don't.

06:30What are the common mistakes

06:32of people who take care of this kind of animals?

06:35Ah, yes.

06:36Because for people like this,

06:38especially for beginners,

06:39they think that

06:40their substrate is okay

06:42and it's wet.

06:43Actually, they really don't like that.

06:44And they can get sick

06:46if their cage is always wet.

06:49So it needs to be dry.

06:51They can get respiratory infections

06:53if it's always wet.

06:55Ah, okay.

06:57So they want to lay down on the floor.

06:59Is this Esmeralda?

07:00Yes, it's Esmeralda.

07:01They want to lay down on the floor.

07:05Alright,

07:06so you also take care of exotic animals, right?

07:08Yes.

07:09Do you have activities?

07:10Yes.

07:11Actually, we also talk

07:13and give speakers in different schools.

07:15Wildlife conservation

07:17or proper care of turtles,

07:19snakes,

07:20and other exotic pets.

07:21Okay.

07:22How frequent should you feed

07:24Burmese pythons?

07:25It also depends on the size.

07:27If it's like this,

07:28it only reaches once a week.

07:31Once a week, the small ones?

07:32Yes.

07:33This one, twice or once a month.

07:35It's easy to take care of.

07:36It's easy to take care of.

07:37Once a month.

07:38Since it can only be fed once a month or twice,

07:41you can travel.

07:44Not like dogs.

07:45Yes.

07:46You have to keep an eye on them.

07:47Yes.

07:48That's another thing.

07:49If you're busy

07:50and you want to have a pet,

07:52then it's really worth it.

07:54I can't travel.

07:55Can you let me take care of the snake?

07:57If you have a problem,

07:59you can talk to them.

08:00I can do that.

08:02Yes.

08:03Do you really put them next to you when you sleep?

08:05No.

08:06No?

08:07I have a place to put them.

08:08But sometimes,

08:09you don't put them next to you.

08:10It's like a trip.

08:11You can sleep next to them.

08:12No.

08:13Later,

08:14if they snore.

08:15Yes.

08:16But you,

08:17just at home?

08:18Because they might escape.

08:19Actually,

08:20their cages are secure.

08:22So,

08:23I haven't had a case

08:24where they escaped.

08:26How many snakes do you have?

08:28Right now,

08:30around 15 plus.

08:3215 plus?

08:33That's great.

08:34You can take care of them.

08:35Do you have a

08:37tame snake?

08:38Or none?

08:39None.

08:40We can't take care of them.

08:41This one doesn't have venom.

08:42So,

08:43it's very friendly.

08:44But wait,

08:45I'm curious.

08:46Is there an instance

08:47where your friend

08:48bit you?

08:49No,

08:50they didn't.

08:51If they bit you,

08:52isn't it just like

08:53a bite of a cockroach?

08:54No,

08:55that's not it.

08:56I can't believe it.

08:57They only bite

08:58when they let go.

08:59So,

09:00it's not that painful.

09:01So,

09:02you won't get hurt.

09:03I do get hurt.

09:04But,

09:05sometimes,

09:06there's a link.

09:07There's a link?

09:08Yes.

09:09That's the painful part.

09:10For those who want

09:11to get more tips

09:12and information
