00:00Because today is Merkoles, it means today is pet's day.
00:04That's why we have a pet with us today.
00:08And that is the Ball Python.
00:10Ball Pythons, also known as Royal Pythons, are non-venomous constrictors.
00:15And this is the smallest of all African Pythons.
00:19And did you know that this is why it is called Ball Python?
00:23Because of its tendency to roll.
00:25Like a ball.
00:27Whenever it is scared or stressed.
00:29And that's why, to introduce us to other creatures.
00:33And how to properly take care of Ball Pythons.
00:36We have with us today the owner of Credible Pythons Reptile Farm,
00:39Benedict Yuheko.
00:41Sir Marco.
00:43Sir Marco, Angelo Ortiz.
00:45Good morning to all of you. Welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.
00:49Good morning.
00:51Sir Marco, what do Ball Pythons have? Why do they...
00:55I'm scared.
00:57Why are you outside?
00:59This is a snake.
01:01Sir, why is it a good pet?
01:05Is it a pet?
01:07I don't think it's a pet.
01:09It's still a pet.
01:11Although they are classified as wild animals.
01:15But this type of snake is very tolerant.
01:21When you touch it.
01:23They don't have aggressive tendencies.
01:27Especially when kept in captivity.
01:29So it's a good pet.
01:31Sir Marco, what do they have?
01:33Why is your pet like that?
01:35Actually, I'm just fond of animals.
01:37Since I was a kid, I'm fond of them.
01:39So not just pythons?
01:41Not just pythons.
01:43There are lizards.
01:45There are also dogs.
01:47I thought it's a projectile.
01:49So mostly reptiles.
01:51It's a good pet compared to dogs.
01:53Why did you bring me here?
01:55It's better to look at.
01:57That's right.
01:59Can I hang it upside down?
02:01No, you can't.
02:05I'm sorry.
02:07When I was a kid, I was chasing a chicken.
02:09Suddenly, the chicken was chasing the lizard.
02:11So I got scared.
02:13So I visited a zoo.
02:15After that, I saw snakes.
02:17I almost died.
02:19I don't know why you brought me here.
02:21But let's continue with our work.
02:23How do we properly take care of ball pythons?
02:25What do we need to do?
02:27Are there any requirements
02:29to take care of ball pythons?
02:31I'm sorry. I can't look at it.
02:33Let's start with the requirements.
02:35Of course, since they're considered
02:37as wild animals,
02:39they need permits
02:41and certain papers
02:43when it comes to
02:45being able to keep them.
02:47Of course,
02:49from DNR, but of course,
02:51with farms like us,
02:53we'll also help you
02:55acquire them.
02:57When it comes to taking care of them,
02:59it's very easy.
03:01The small ones can be kept in this container.
03:03Of course,
03:05they need to be cleaned
03:07and watered.
03:09Do you bathe them?
03:11Yes.
03:13From time to time,
03:15we also bathe them.
03:17They're still alive.
03:19Unlike other dogs,
03:21they don't get sick.
03:23Do you have a chance
03:25to take care of ball pythons?
03:27Yes.
03:29All dogs are capable of taking care of them.
03:31Especially if you're hungry or
03:33you're going to eat,
03:35they can use your hand
03:37to feed them.
03:39Sometimes,
03:41when they're in the container,
03:43they're like,
03:45what's that?
03:47When they're in the container,
03:49especially when they're resting,
03:51they're more likely to be surprised.
03:53Sometimes,
03:55you have to let them know that
03:57you're going to take care of them
03:59so that the feeding tendency
04:01or aggression will go away.
04:03What about ball pythons?
04:05If they recognize you,
04:07they won't beat you up?
04:09No,
04:11ball pythons only recognize the owner.
04:13So, basically,
04:15if you're going to take care of them,
04:17with confidence,
04:19they won't beat you up.
04:23Even if it's their first time,
04:25they won't recognize you.
04:27So, it's okay.
04:29But they're non-venomous, right?
04:31Non-venomous, so they're very safe.
04:33So, if they recognize you,
04:35they won't be afraid of you?
04:37Hello!
04:39Why did you do that?
04:41No, no.
04:43Oh, wow!
04:45Audrey, why did you do that?
04:47Does it have a name?
04:49This one has a long name.
04:51So, sometimes,
04:53when there's a lot of them,
04:55we don't give them a personal name.
04:57We just call them based on their color and pattern.
04:59Oh, my God!
05:01He's out!
05:03Wait.
05:05If they see that,
05:07is it safe?
05:09Yes, it's safe.
05:11It's safe for them to smell.
05:15You can do that?
05:17You're safe, right?
05:19You're the one who's afraid of the ball, right?
05:21Wait.
05:23How can I do that?
05:25I can't do that.
05:27I can't do that.
05:29Oh, my God!
05:31It's stuck in my hand.
05:33It's so cute.
05:35It's so cute.
05:37Oh, my God!
05:39It's so small.
05:41It's so cute.
05:43I don't like it.
05:45How big does it grow?
05:47It grows up to 6 feet.
05:49Oh, 6 feet.
05:51It's like a baby.
05:53No, I don't like it.
05:55It's so beautiful.
05:57It's hard for me to be busy.
05:59So, when they're at home,
06:01I mean, in the garden,
06:03they can play with it.
06:05Audrey is afraid of it, too.
06:07You're the one who's afraid of it, right?
06:09You're the one who's afraid of it.
06:11It's stuck in my hand.
06:13Wait.
06:15Ah!
06:17Why do I have two hands?
06:19Oh, my God!
06:21Okay.
06:23Aside from raising ball pythons,
06:25you also started a convention
06:27called Animal Con.
06:29Where is it?
06:31It's actually an event
06:33that we tried to bring
06:35any animal-related products
06:37and services,
06:39of course.
06:41So, those who are fond of animals,
06:43of course, we invite them.
06:45Now, our theme is more on the family side.
06:47So, it's gonna be an experience
06:49for everybody,
06:51especially for the kids,
06:53to enjoy and also at the same time.
06:55Kids?
06:57But what are the ways
06:59to overcome fear?
07:01First is to accept
07:03that you have that fear
07:05and that you have to overcome it.
07:07So, you need to overcome it.
07:09This is my step.
07:11If I'm talking about overcoming it,
07:13sometimes, on videos on social media,
07:15we can't avoid
07:17those videos.
07:19So, I can handle it.
07:21But personally, I can't.
07:23Before, I broke the TV.
07:25Up, up.
07:27How can you join
07:29Animal Con?
07:31Basically, the event is next week.
07:33August 23 to 25.
07:35Just go to the Facebook

07:39which is Animal Con PH.
07:41And then also at the same time,
07:43it's 3 days. So, 23 to 25.
07:45Any day, you can go. But it's a different experience
07:47every day.
07:49So, there are ball pythons?
07:51There are ball pythons, dogs, cats.
07:53And then we also have...
07:55Our family is there.
07:57So, it's different.
07:59Can we let Audrey try first?
08:01The snake.
08:03Audrey, go ahead.
08:05This is the smallest.
08:07In fairness, I'm so happy
08:09that I can control my skin.
08:11I'm so happy.
08:13Audrey, 1, 2, 3, go.
