I love how you are gentle and respectful with the animals. :)

I just love how he knows what every snake species is. I’ve never seen a video where he didn’t know what a snake was

Every time you just hold a snake they look like “am I joke to you”

This guy is having a great time. I've been handling North America's gorgeous snakes for decades. Growing up in the country I would get calls almost daily from folks in the area wanting me to come and get the copperhead out of their chicken house or yard,wherever. 99% of the time these copperheads we're actually harmless snakes. This was before the internet day's. I rescued 2 real copperheads when I was 11. My grandfather was cutting a ditch through his field to drain excess rain water and dug up a old stump about 6 feet long. He saw movement but wasn't sure what it was. I was in yelling distance so he called me over to remove whatever was alive down under the stump. After moving stuff around out popped 2 copperheads. Fortunately I had a container on the tractor safe enough for transport. Anyway after 4 years of taking extremely good care of these magnificent creatures my science teacher asked me to bring them to class in a secured transport aquarium. The teacher was a stranger not a local hick like most of us. Anyway I obliged him and brought them to class. My teacher had already called natural resource police on me for having a venomous snake without a permit. The officer was my older cousin. The teacher was hoping for me to get in trouble. I forgot to mention he was also my football coach. His son was my age and just moved to my little town population 993 people. Anyway his father my coach wanted him to play middle linebacker like he did at his school. Unfortunately the head coach didn't favor anyone. You earn your position period. So thats why he set me up I played middle linebacker. Anyway my cousin took the snakes out to his vehicle then met me after school and told me to let the snakes go. I released them about 2 weeks later. I had to say my goodbyes. After all I've been taking care of these guys for along time. I took them to a really nice area far from people and plenty of food. Oh and by the way the cowardly science teacher moved back to his hometown so his son could play football. His son would have made a better cheerleader. Anyway thanks for reading and wasn't this a great video. That King snake was gorgeous. And our Northern brown water snakes are not venomous but they can bite like a pit bull bites a steak bone. I got one out of a mans boat one day. That snake was wrapped around fishing string and wasn't going anywhere. Once I got his head free so that he could breath right he tagged me good on my stomach. I would have been happier with a thank you.

I have always loved reptiles and in the past year have started keeping some as pets. Because of watching your videos I am now searching for wild snakes. Thank you for teaching me how to find and appreciate these beautiful animals

Snakes have always terrified me. Your videos and vast knowledge have instilled respect for snakes, turtles, and amphibians. Since I don’t speak snake-Latin, please say Latin and English. Your grammar is very good. I have such respect for that. You sound as intelligent as you are.

i get nothing but pure joy from the way you say "issa toad" at 9:08

Always enjoy watching your videos. Relaxing and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us!

Bruh water snakes are some of the meanest snakes ever for no reason they really wish they were cottonmouths

Hi, thank you for showing us these beautiful specimens.

You remind me of me when I was a kid....Thank you!!! 😊👍😊

Your content has really inspired me to get out away from my PC more often over the past few months or so. And thanks to my home bordering a massive forest with trails, Im able to go out on hikes and see what I can find. However tin piles and man-made objects are scarce along the trails, yet I've managed to find a good source of Salamanders beneath logs and some old tires. Most are just the usual slimly, but I've recently come across some beautiful Duskies, a magnificent red Blue Ridge Salamander, and lovely looking black salamander with a red tipped tail. That one Im not familiar with however. Update: I found my first snake species yesterday! And not just any snake, a hatchling Worm snake! I was SO happy!

Great strategy that works well. Stick close to accessible places. Great video and thank you for showing us the snakes from this area!

That nerodia you snatched on the rock ledge was gorgeous! His little frog-like eyes! Congrats on finding that perfect King too 😁❤

When there so friendly it makes me sad cause they are so adorable!!!

all those snakes are awesome looking ... nice finds, good video ..

Great video man! I love to see how much you love the snakes and how u talk to all the lil creatures. I too have love for snakes!

Beautiful king snake , enjoyed watching.

OUTSTANDING! Your Videos are GREAT!!!!

That king looked glossy too. Recent shed. Oh wait. You just said that. Lol. Awesome 👍👊🐍

I love the way they squirm away lol it’s so cute

What a great thing to be doing on this quarantine state of life. I’d rather be out there herping with ya, fun fun. Be safe all

Thanks great having you back

Great video as always, please keep it up. You remind me so much of myself when I was young. I was born in South Florida. Although I have spent most of my time on the West coast, near Tampa. Herping used to be very good here, but it is not what it used to be due to habitat destruction.

Beautiful snakes! My daughter & I love animals. Last Good Friday, we saw a gopher and rattlesnake in our local hills. I'm sending this video to my daughter. New subscriber from southern California.

Snakes are fast. Very enjoyable video!

The watersnakes are NOT having it lol. I get excited when i hear hognose.. they're my faves. Wish you'd had luck finding some! Glad you found that pretty king. :)

love the little turtle so cute

Thanks to you telling me lots of information about snakes I finally caught my first milk snake😃🐍

Some serious chain on that King. Congrats, dude!

Wow! I live in the area and I’ve seen very few of these species. I’ll keep my eyes peeled on my next hike. No telling how many I’ve walked past and completely missed.

I'm doing my herping vicariously through your channel. :)

When you make ur vids it makes my day

We love you

Beautiful area... We spend lots of time in The Creeks around Atlanta. Was trying to figure out that last Creek you were at. Looks kind of like Vickery Creek

Nice video, again. My fire dept and I just spent three days searching for a missing 4 year old girl in some incredible East Alabama habitat...lots of timbers seen.

That one at 6:50 wouldve had me scared, I live in WV. Copper heads everywhere lol

Good video,,,thanks for the share!

Really fascinating! You are truly the snake man. I walk the trail and hardly ever see one. Now I wonder where they are.

The king snakes name is Pissy! Lol great video!

That Queen snake is awesome looking ..

Nerodia is Latin for "squirmy bitey thing"

Beautiful Rat and King snake for sure. 😎🐍👍

he has developed an eye for seeing these elusive reptiles.and so very very cool too

Unfortunately in the south there is a tendency to kill every snake they find. It really bothers me that beneficial snakes are killed outright like that.

I get so hyped when I find a water snake, and I wish to find ring necks

NICE FINDS BROTHER!

Love the vid ❤️❤️👍🏻

I love herping your actually awesome:)

exceptional video!

Looking fresh with that shave, sorry about the technology issues.

Great video!

Great video again. Water snakes look like copperheads based on pattern

Good find

How many times do you get bit on a weekly basis ? 😂

Beautiful king noah nice bro keep it up

Ive been watching all of your vlogg, it's amazing because ill learn about species of snakes! That wich one is harmless,and venemous good luck and god always bless you! From the philippines! Pleaseee pa shout out !

The way he so casually grabs snakes gives me anxiety

Great video. I been herping a few times down here and found nothing nut Dekay's brown, ringneck, and garter. However, a friend of mine found a baby Eastern King which I kept for 4 months and then released. If you have a suggestion on any areas, please let me know. I also love herping for salamanders. Great job!

You booped the turtle lol❤️🐍

Amazing! You see more snakes on a single outing, than I see in YEARS! How on Earth do you spot them? I especially loved the grey rat and Eastern king!

King snakes are pretty chill. I don’t have your knowledge to identify a lot of these snakes, so I usually just admire from afar, but a king I know. I found one a couple years ago and just picked him up and he looked at me like “what’s up? How’s your day?” Lol.

Hey loved the video actually enjoy all your herping videos and I'm in Ga as well, could you name some of the places you visit, I'm always hiking and just wondered if I've been to some of the places you've shown.... keep at it and love the videos.

Nice kingsnake!

I loved when you booped the slider lmao

I love his videos

You are good at identifying snakes. My first thought at seeing the snake at 3:58 is 'caution cottonmouth'.

Eastern kingsnake is the perfect snake. I love the shape of their heads.

I want the orange water snake with the blue eyes 😍

King snakes will always be my favorite.

Great day.

I have a bush in my yard that has some exposed roots. I see garter snakes under the roots once in a while.

I saw an Eastern Kingsnake earlier today. He was about 3 and a half feet long in a brick pile.🤙

Damn he got ALL the grumps today. Many grumpy boys.

I would have handled all of those, except the one you pulled off the wall. Not acquainted with that one and would have thought it was venomous. Appreciate the tour, thank you.

Yay another vid

Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

I literally related to the "my phone turned into a potato." Why?! 😂

Wish I had the weather you have in Georgia. Here in Ohio the weather is still a bit on the cool side. But as soon as it warms up I plan on going out. We don't have the poison snakes really up here too much. But rat corn and water snakes are plentiful.

Enjoy the video....what counties are you looking in....I lived in Metro Atlanta (Newton country) for 30 years and never saw a Queen snake or some of those other water snakes. I used to see King snakes frequently. After retiring to Central Florida I've never seen a King snake here...not that I have been really looking. On the bicycle path it's all black racers, water moccasins, pigmy rattlers with occasional black striped orange rat snakes, corn snakes, green snakes, and an occasional coral snake (rare, had one in my backyard). Actually saw a couple of legless lizards. There are a host of Eastern Diamondbacks but you rarely see one unless you are looking for one.

Looks like you're closer to my area than I've seen so far! Not to give away the location, but wasn't that near the old paper mill? Loved the facts about the queen snake- even though I used to see them near Carter's Lake, I've never managed to catch one. I like nerodia, but they don't like people- "get off my lawn" is their usual attitude! Such a beautiful king!

Good clip, I wish I could go Herping with you lol

I went and flipped a few pieces of tin I set up yesterday and found a king a rat snake and a few ring necks

You look so tan! I am jealous, we don’t have that many snakes here in Minnesota. All we find is garter snakes...boring! Sorry to hear about your phone. You should start selling merch!!

The spot you saw that king snake looks just like the Etowah river in Bartow county.

Linus Van Pelt was always afraid of being chomped by a queen snake! So much for childhood fears!

I love snakes!!

He is saying they are “harmless” but they are trying to bite him 99% of the time.

live over here in alabama..seen and caught many of water snakes..never have heard them called nerodia...snake population can always tell you if the land is healthy....god blessed the south with lots of critters....

Looks like I’m gonna have to start taking leeks next to the creek too

I am learning a lot from you

Nice, I live in Atlanta area. Lots of diff wildlife here.

I'll surely appreciate knowing what brand of boots you were wearing in Louisiana and if they are snake proof.. I live in Florida and want some boots for working in the yard and woods behind me.. I've see lots of snakes here and just have been lucky with no bites so far.. Just don't want to rely on luck anymore.. Thank you !

Hey man next time you're in West Virginia/Kentucky, I'd love to go Herping with you

I just saw a king snake yesterday!!!

Go to fort mountain state park. Snakes everywhere. A lot of rattlesnakes

The turtle! :)

I love the king snake. Hims purdy. We have the speckle king here in Louisiana.

King snakes are always beautiful

That water still be COLD. Come on up to Dawson county.
