The way r 51’s gloves started flashing like a pair of Twinkle Toes when the snake got him was hilarious
He want to bite me…”😱”AGSGGSJGSHHDJTDJTDKYFKYFKYDJYSKY!!gotta go!!
That was hilarious 😂
Thank you for this science live! But uh really, I think we should talk about what happened to r 51.
Thank you for telling me about the snake facts and how to tell them apart.
Good show
Snakes are probably some of the coolest reptiles.
this was so awsome
Coral snake is crazy bro 🐉
When r-51 said “Ooooooh! He wants to bite! That’s right, but I got him so- IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUYTRDSXVBNHGFDFVBHJTREDCVBNHGHEBITME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta go!”
How old is Jeffrey ?
I love snakes.
This is probably my all time favorite video! I LOVE SNAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤗I’ve always wanted to get a snake. I’m hoping when I graduate that I can buy a snake! My mom would never let me get one right now. Whenever I go to pet stores I look at all the snakes. I understand why people are afraid of them, but if you don’t mess with them they don’t mess with you. I love picking up gardener snakes, they are so cute and tiny. If I find another gardener snake I might keep it for a pet. 💖🖤
I really like R-51 and the white snake.
snakes are really cool, and learned alot about them!
I thought snakes were scary until I met one!
Snakes are so cool.
I love snakes. They are my favorite reptile.
The snake segment was very interesting.
I learned that there is different types of matter I did not know there was more than one
I have two ball python
I love the part about snakes
Snakes are my favorite reptile
Snakes are (personally) one of the coolest animals to me! This video taught me a lot more than I already knew
I love snakes!
The python is my favorite type of snake because it’s eyes remind me of a cat
Love Jeffrey but Mom still says no snakes allowed, still waiting on her to say yes. We are thankful for our Kingsnakes that keep the rattlesnakes out of our yard. The information about the Brazilian Coral snake was a great reminder that snakes in different areas can mimic snakes from our area. This is my first Science Live, can’t wait for the next one!
This was my very first Science Live episode, I loved it! I never knew that rubber first came from a tree, or that snakes smelled with their noses.
Jeffery is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeffrey is the best.
BTW I think Jeffrey is really cool lol. Hopefully if I am ever able to get a snake, it will be a Ball Python
I would REALLY love to get a Ball Python, but my cat will not be happy, nor my family lol. Snakes are pretty fascinating, it’s just that some people seem to fear them. At first, I was kind of scared, but after learning more about thm I thought they were pretty legit.
What is the largest snake ever?
I did not realize there was more than one species of coral snakes.
i loved the video so much.
I think this is my favorite episode of Science Live thus far! I loved every segment.
The topics about the states of water and the substances on Titan, as well as the tales about snakes and Jeffrey were so humorous and fascinating!
I never knew why ice is lighter than water, and why frost looks the way it does. The crystalline structure of ice almost looks like leaves or vines; it really proves that art is everywhere if you look closely. I can’t believe that Titan has lakes of methane and volcanoes filled with water instead of lava. If water can function as lava, and methane can form a lake, what else can exist out there in the universe? What do we have on Earth that exists in other forms somewhere in space? What if something inanimate here is animate on another planet, or in another universe?
I love all snakes in the video, I love the python most, I wish I have a snake.
I always thought all snakes were dangerous creatures but Jeffrey changed my mind about snakes
Snakes are so awesome!

I was a bit skeptical about this weeks science live because of the title, since I was always terrified of snakes. But after watching it, it changed my perspective slightly about snakes, I am planning to learn more about them later, but I don’t think my fear of them will change, but not as much as before.
If you could have any type of 🐍 what would it be?

Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about going to Harvard at all. Instead I was thinking about going to SOPA (School of Performing Arts in Seoul) or AADA (American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles), but after finding out about that Harvard is looking forward to applications from Acellus, I would be thrilled to apply to the Harvard Theatre course.
And I know for a FACT this wouldn’t be possible without Acellus, so THANK YOU ACELLUS🫰🏼
