Wow. Very cool

Nice narration, thanks.

OUR KING SNAKES ARE COLORFUL... NOT THAT UGLY CHOCOLATE DRAB COLOR.

Pathetic there are so many of you so called experts doing these stupid comparison videos that your time could be put to better use than producing Sensationalist videos that benefit no one.

I tell all my buddies do not kill those king snakes they are precious to us

Nice footage! Well done!👍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Looks like the rattler has eaten a snake too.

The rattle is still twitching😳

🙏🙏🙏🤛👍🦅😎🇺🇸

This is amazing! I wish we had kings here but it's too cold and probably not enough prey.

Thats a beaver mansion

Thanks for sharing...

Most viper venom has evolved to be very effective against the small mammals that they eat by attacking the blood and muscle tissue, the fast heartbeat of a rat or mouse means it spreads and takes effect very quickly. Against another cold blooded animal its effect is very limited on top of millions of years of evolution to resist hemotoxins leaves them extremely vulnerable against other snakes that prey on them. Even something like a puff adder or russels viper which are FAR more toxic than a rattlesnake and could kill a dozen adult men are completely helpless if a cobra finds them.

Hey! Found out about your channel from a recent Ologies podcast episode with tracker and beaver specialist Rob Rich. I'm wondering if the courses you're referring to in this video are UW's (online) "Outdoor Guide Certification" and your recent Wondrium course, "Nature Watching: How to Find and Observe Wildlife"? Thanks!

Good stuff, Casey!

Scout! 🥰 And thank you for sharing this video. Such a special thing to see. Your enthusiasm and love for beavers shines through!!

Amazing video, thanks for sharing.

This video was mentioned in a recent episode of the Ologies podcast about beavers! Thanks for sharing!

No need for King Snake. On the east coast these poisonous snakes are breakfast for your everyday nonvenomous black snake. They are immune to the venom. Copperhead and rattle are prey. Black snake are constrictors. I keep a one or two around to be safe around the house.

Great videos

Bettlejuice ooo no ha ,

I have a crazy neighbor that owns a very large green anaconda in her basement. She feeds it frozen pigs. Just went over there to see it eat about 2 weeks ago. She said she feeds it pigs once a month. It’s insane watching it eat. She told me and my wife she has been keeping reptiles since she was 5 years old. She once had a huge lizard too but it got loose out its cage and ended up dying outside in the winter time. She use to feed the lizard rats. It was a huge lizard. Almost the size of a dog.

Fascinating. Really enjoyed that.

WOW.....What an amazing opportunity to have filmed. Thanks for sharing!

They're the strongest snakes for their size which explains how they can move like that. You can feel the strength when you handle them. When after eating you can see the eaten snake is kind of crunched inside like a zigzag

Thanks. That really cleared up some things.

Had a king snake as a akid and it got out in the house but stayed around the property and got huge, eating rodents and other snakes and was a great asset to the house.

They are beautiful.

I was looking for info today about juniper berries, because i have a ton of them and it would seem that squirrels are cutting them oyt of the trees. I have more juniper berries than I know what to do with. We also have crabapple trees. And a field of wild grassland Guess I just have a little piece of paradise.

It would be so interesting to see you read the land here in Michigan

King snakes would be in the constrictor family

Rattlesnake still rattling....pretending he's still a badass.😂

What happens, if a snake underestimates the length of it's prey? Clearly, it can't wander off with a foot of snake sticking out of it's mouth.

Great video!

Cool video. I really like em, but hard to keep them from getting my Duck eggs

I had a Cal King for many years until I got a dog that would freak out every time it moved. I gave it to a dear friend who kept it for quite a while himself. RIP Lil' E.

This was a good video i have wondered what they looked like inside

The reason the kingsnake is pulling itself into the bushes is simple, it's looking for cover. Really vulnerable out in the open.

Seen one in NC eating a copperhead like this:)

I had a California king snake. Great pet!

That’s why they’re called the KING snake

Wow, totally amazing isn’t nature incredible from Australia

If you can eat the whole rattler in one sitting, they give you a little king snake t-shirt.

Don’t get me wrong… I do lot of walking of course! When I am off! But where I do live in Colorado! I see king snake here and there … sucker is very mean… without being poisoning…

If you're ever up in the Lake Erie area, keep an eye out for the little water snakes. They can catch and eat a good sized perch, right there before your eyes, it's amazing...!!!

I did get to see almost that exact thing happen many decades ago, when I was a young boy, probably in the same area... Near Jamestown CA.

No one messes with the mighty Kinger!

When I was young, we lived in a house surrounded by farmland filled with cattle. Being in Northern California, there were lots of rattlesnakes. A lot of the cattle were being bit by the rattlers, so the farmer brought in a lot of king snakes to take care of the problem. Being deathly afraid of snakes, this was my nightmare.

I was walking my dog once and I saw a California king snake. We had accidentally stumbled upon it walking past a bush and startled it. And then it started what i thought was giving birth to a baby. No, it was throwing up the rattlesnake it ate. I think it did so as a way to escape the danger it felt it was in.

This King might not need to eat again until next year. Probably going to cause a shed also. I have had much bigger Kings in my property and they always had their pick of Rattlers as I had many of them also.
