There's no way he didn't want that corn snake to strike at him. He was intentionally provoking the poor thing because he figured it make for a good spectacle for youtube. What an irresponsible little shit. This kid shouldn't be trusted with a tamagotchi, much less an exotic reptile. (And holy fuck, is that his actual voice? He's not just talking like an obnoxious gay jew stereotype cartoon character for laughs? Holy hell it's like nails on a chalkboard.)
This one isn't boaman, and I might be wrong, maybe these animals are perfectly fine and healthy, but this has rubbed me the wrong way since the first time I saw it - this guy breeding ball pythons with no scales.

At the least this seems about the same as breeding dogs and cats with their faces so smashed in they have breathing problems, or other animals that have some bizarre and unhealthy-seeming feature, solely for their appearance, that just seems like a deformity. I might be wrong, maybe they're perfectly comfortable, but it looks so fragile and unprotected. And the way the guy talks about the breeding project, wanting to "see scaleless snakes in pet shops", ehhh... Focusing on weird appearance and profit over the potential health of the animal.
