I stumbled on this channel about a year ago and have yet to be disappointed. Great photography, educational and with enough personality to keep it interesting. I've recommended it to a couple of herper friends who agreed. Box turtles have always been one of my favorites followed by the Eastern rat snakes. The timber comes in 3rd.

Love the fact that your hand is shaking from the joy of finding the Eastern King, but the striking copperhead doesn't phase you.

Just get to know the general species in your area and what their natural habitat is. Flip a few things over while proceeding carefully and you should end up finding stuff. Admittedly he is very good at what he does. I've had him over at my house before and it took him like 5 minutes to find a snake and then he went and found like 3 more after that hahaha
