Fun fact, snakes actually can hear. They don’t have ears, but they do have bones that pick up airborne sound. Frank hears you, she’s actively ignoring you.
Frank has helped me get over my phobia of snakes. I think I prefer bigger pythons to little snakes still, because that lingering amount of fear says that the small ones are more squirrelly and therefore more dangerous. But seeing Frank just chilling out has really made me less afraid.
For small snakes, rosy boas are probably the best. They only get like. 3 feet/just shy of a meter max. But they still keep the laid back attitude that a lot of bigger snakes have.
I’m still terrified of snakes but I get what you mean about small animals, any bird smaller than a chicken, I’m terrified, put me in a room with a Rottweiler or a bull or something and I’m not bothered, a few scared pigeons and I’ll cry.
awww she was parascoping in the grass tho, it was so cute! Also, snakes DO have ears. They're just covered by scales. So they can hear things but it probably sounds kinda muffled. I'd actually look into upgrading her enclosure eventually. It's always best to have an enclosure that allows the snake to fully stretch out at least on one side. She's a beautiful snake tho, is she a carpet python?
@@akiriith I believe Frank's current enclosure was shown in Wade's Garbage Time channel. The video is called Frank's Poo Palace. (I'd give link but, YT, so the title's the next best bet...)
Bizarrely I had a similar experience but with a kitten. Out of the litter from our first cat, one looked and acted just like the mother so we assumed she was a girl and my partner named her Frankie. Until one day we rolled 'her' over and discovered a pair of giant balls. So Frankie became Frank, and I got to revel in the hilarity that a cute girls name became an old man name 😅
I used to be terrified of snakes until my English teacher had one and fed it during class and let people hold her during reading time, her name was Jules! Frank is such a cutie. She has a really great owner!
@@striderwhiston9897It depends on the individual snake. If the teacher knew that snake would eat just fine and not give a shit about it no matter who's around, then there's not really a problem.

I used to date a girl back in school who had a baby boa called butch along with a menagerie of other creatures, was super friendly and I loved spending time with it, but once I fell asleep with him kinda laying on my chest over one arm and awoke a little later with a red hand and a snake bracelet going up my arm which I promptly took off to his disagreement. Wasn't as pretty as frank is though, his scales looked almost faded
I love frank. I love snakes. Thank you for sharing her with us. She's so cute! I adore her. Snakes are such cool pets. I used to have a ball python for four years before I had to give him away when I moved back in with my parents. (Safely rehomed). I love their calm chill demeanors.
You know, funny I've had my snake for 4 years, and have only sdeen him drink 3 times as well... but one time... I got it on camera! Truly the rarest sight among snake owners.
My friend loves sexing snakes. He's weird, but it's cool, he's legally allowed to, he's a Herpetologist and an Exotics Veterinarian. Edit: I don't know if I'd ever get a snake, but I must say, she and you have been a great ambassador for these creatures, since she is heckin' adorable.
I like Frank. Now that some reptiles (a few common pythons and boas etc, there's a list) are allowed here in Norway, and there's a store twenty minutes away... hm
reptiles as pets were categorically outlawed in 1977 (with the exception of some turtles for those allergic to fur) before a whitelist of 19 species was introduced in 2017
@@diedbadly It is honestly a good idea to outlaw most of them. We have huge issues in the US because weirdos and morons buy a ton of non-native snakes and just release them into the wild when they get tired of them. They wreak havoc on the native wildlife.
@@nos9510 Too many bad owners made the government create laws against owning them. Hopefully Norwegian reptile enjoyers have learned how to take care of them since then, so we can expand the whitelist.
yeah, most reptiles have such different metabolisms to mammals and birds it can be hard for us to comprehend. like, most turtles from round here (Canada) have to survive the winter. what do they do? they hibernate. in the mud. at the bottom of ponds and lakes. *_so they do not breathe for up to eight months!_*
Fronk is easily my favourite CZcams pet. Kitty cats n doggos, lovely. Bunnies n birds, I kinda wanna just eat. But I'll wait till the end for a few seconds of franktime. She is the ultimate long nugg. Love ya, glad I don't have to smell ya.
I love my snake and other snakes so much! I got a ball python named Blanket and she's such a sweet thing. Loves laying on my stomach and laying curled up in blankets (Thus her name) . I didn't know I'd love her so much when my husband got her at a convention. I was like the dad who said he wouldn't like the dog or cat their kids get. Pet Snakes get such a bad rap and I love you're spreading love of snakes. Thanks!
I used to be scared of snakes as a kid, only cause I had no experience with them. Then a small educational reptile show came to our dinky nowhere-town and blew my mind. I got to pet a caiman! And I could've held the big snake (I forget what species she was, HUGE beautiful yellow and white beast) but I was a bit too nervous for that. But the whole thing gave me a new appreciation for reptiles. Now I'm here in my late 20's enamored with Frank! I love the way snakes yawn.
Frank is why I bought myself two pet snakes - they arrive next week. They are hatchies so I'm probably going to get twice the hatchy bites you did, but once tamed they will be fairly fun to handle, and pass to friends (got quite a few that like snakes). Ahhh Frank what have you done!! ;) She is a beautiful snake Wade. I'm getting a baby male Woma and a baby female spotted (don't have the space for the enclosure for a MD).
I really do hope you did all of your research first, and I don't mean just listening to the advice the breeder gave you (because they give their snakes the bare minimum living conditions to actually survive and breed, not to live a healthy life) Far too many impulsive buyers nowadays
@@striderwhiston9897 Yep - had everything set up well in advance of them arriving. Also downloaded care sheets for them, got temperatures right etc). They are a living creature, not a thing you put aside. My snakes are eating, shedding and pooping well so thats a good sign. I've always wanted a snake, now I have two. They make great pets :)
Hey just gotta let you know that snakes do have ears but they're covered with skin so they can hear but everything probobally just sounds muffled to them
Ah yes, the good ol' naming a pet one thing because you assumed it was one gender then found out later it was actually the other. I ended up doing this with one of my cats when I was younger. Named him Mikey. Found out the hard way Mikey was a her when she had a kitten in the middle of the night. We never even knew Mikey was pregnant. Kept the name though because that was her name. As for the corn snake my fiancé has, we have no idea the gender and just call it Scales. Safe that way.
"...she won't learn her name, she obeys no orders and will always do whatever she wants. That's it, she is like a bulldozzy. You put it on a table and she'll push everything off of it." is that a cat?
One can have a Guess at Gender of Snake by the lenght of the Tail. Yes, even Baby Noodles. Long Tail, high Chance of having a Gente. Many People don't know Snake Tails are quite short until they saw one Poop, or got it shown. When a Reptile/Snake is so laid back and tame, it usually Points to very good Care and regular Handling by the Owner. A happy Animal is more tame, than one wich is unwell, unsecure, bored and stressed. Maybe Franks Thickness caused her to go on tasty Snack Diet.😂

Fun fact, snakes actually can hear. They don’t have ears, but they do have bones that pick up airborne sound. Frank hears you, she’s actively ignoring you.
Bone hearing... Wonder where I've heard that from before
Idk what airborne means but it's true
They hear between 100hz to 600hz. the human voice is between 250hz to 400hz, so yeah she hears him
So snakes used bone conduction hearing way before we did?
@@mcdonnell-douglasdc-1056 basically
What I'm getting from this is Snakes are the pet equivalent of plants. Water and Feed it once a month or so and every few years re pot it.
Well this isn’t factoring in the big problem with owning a snake: They make really really bad smells. If it ain’t their poo, it’s from their food.
Timing varies largely by species. Smaller snakes generally need to be fed more often. Insectivorous snakes can eat once a day.
most snakes typically need to be fed weekly, need to be spot cleaned daily, need to have water sprayed every few days, and such
@@DrAnimePhDfine for me, my sense of smell was sploded years ago

irresponsible to feed a snake while it's being handled and around multiple people as that often causes regurgitation later on
