One small point (re. 1:14). Snakes are venomous (they inject their venom), not poisonous. Poison is ingested. If you ate a snake and it killed you, then it would be poisonous.

You're one of the best at these types of videos. Keep it up, Dylan! :)

[lovebieber]

this has to be one of the most entertaining most informational videos I have ever seen well done!

[Kittaty]

Another hilarious and educational video! I really look forward to these. Just curious... are there any interesting and obscure places/ stories to do with birthdays? It's my birthday next week (8/26) and it would be so awesome if there was a crazy event or folklore that had something pertaining to birthdays! Thank you.

What I am digging about "snake Island" is that the warning signs are not in English. They're all like oh ya its fine Americans come on grab a spot on the beach! Get a tan! Its all good in the neighborhood.

[CardiganJane]

I didn't see any lighthouse in the photos. Is it still there?

[ArunPlaysPiano]

Death, yep, I've experienced that, but it wasn't from a snakebite.

How can you have so many of the top predator (presumably) on one small island? What are they eating? Insects? Plants? Tourists? Each other? It doesn't sound like a sustainable ecosystem unless there are billions of rodents and other small critters to continually feed all those snakes (and the prey have to eat, too). And if that's all there is to eat, why did they evolve such a deadly venom?

You are having way too much fun with Death by Snake.
