That Dekay's, I would have mistaken it as a garter snake. I appreciate you doing this channel because it has truly made me less afraid of meeting a snake in my yard. I think I could even identify them now. You've also made me realize that looking down isn't the only place snakes can be. That freaks me out a little but I think less so now. So thank you.

That rat snake looked like it was bred with a diamondback. Insanely gorgeous. Cold in the mornings? 30 degrees is T-shirt weather for me. I moved back to ATL before the Olympics. When I was moved in I drove back up north to get my tool box and my plow. Neighbor made fun of me bringing a plow to ATL. Few weeks later it snowed and I made thousands plowing 2 days. Even met people who never ever touched snow.

My mother and aunt were fishing in Eastern Alabama back in the early 60’s. They were walking along the bank of a dam created lake and met a game warden heading the opposite direction. Almost immediately after passing him, they heard two gun shots. Two coral snakes were apparently following them and the game warden shot them. It seems somebody had been bitten by one a few days earlier.

The DeKay's Brown snake is a good looking little guy. Do they stay on the small side? Don't think I've ever seen a Smooth Earth Snake. I have to wonder how many thousands and thousands of snakes I've walked by without knowing they were there. I do know I see turtles, and turtles, and turtles, like crazy down here in Florida. See Mud turtles all over the place while fishing. Snappers and Red Ear, I also saw a Pygmy Rattler down here... Only once but it was really cool little guy. it was on a concrete drive way when I saw it.

As a kid I handled them quite often. Btw, I just watched your Coral Snake video; OMG! I'm so jealous. I've never seen on in the wild. Keep up the great work and Hopefully more people will learn it's not necessary to kill snakes. My Dad kills snakes and I always wished he would'nt.
