Yes, the thumbnail is a myth. You shouldn't eat reticulated pythons, especially not as a midnight snack.

Australian here, please don't discuss drop bears. If people knew how deadly they are, our tourism industry would shut down completely. Truth is Australia is very safe, just don't go wandering around in drop bear territory

Fun fact! If you sleep with your pet snake in your bed, it may very well begin refusing food. This is because a bed is not a suitable environment for a snake, and the stress is likely to cause it to refuse food.

Man, mad respect for owning your past mistakes and setting the records straight. I feel a lot more YouTubers need to do this stuff, some other science-communicators included.

Thanks for making an April fools video disproving myths and not making a joke video, the joke videos wore off their novelty years ago for me, loved the video!

[nicolegoodew]

I really appreciate you admitting to being wrong and fixing your mistakes. It's very difficult to find people, let alone channels, that are willing to do so.

[jeffsylvester]

You deserve 10 times the subscribers you have! You provide entertaining, well researched, educational videos and own up to the slight mistakes you have. That is refreshing.

[tomeeshahaller]

I just wanted to say that I have a lot of respect for people that admit they made mistakes in past videos. It's an awesome trait to have.

bro humbled himself, dude is very chill love this channel!

[augustgremaud]

Excellent work, love the integrity & effort you put into your vids. The passion is clear and I hope making videos brings you as much joy as it brings us.

Ironically cutting off the blood supply is also used by most choke based submissions in BJJ so it makes sense that snakes would do this as blood chokes are significantly faster than air chokes.

Not only realized he was wrong, but realized he’d plagued the world with the most frightening fanfic genre there is

My brother told me to watch out for drop bears at the local park playground when I was 8.. I was too scared to go to that park again, and I looked up in the gumtrees in fear for years afterwards 😂

Love your videos! You introduced me to Jim Corbett, and now I have one of his books! It mentioned an "accidental" man-eater. I think it'd be an interesting case to discuss!

[lord_zaku]

The spider thing never made sense to me I have inhaled three gnats in my life time and nearly choked to death each time I can't imagine a whole spider😂

[L.K.Rydens]

Imagine if all creators were this responsible 😂 well done 😂❤

[artawhirler]

Excellent video! You should definitely make this an annual tradition on April Fools Day!

I love spiders. In Switzerland we say "Spiders in a house = healthy house"

[androidmk]

That snake myth once genuinely pissed me off when someone said it and it devolved into a class argument.
