my wife and I got lucky to stumble apon your video this morning. we were just a short distance behind you on this day. we travel there every year for our anniversary. we only spoke briefly in passing, but very cool we found your channel to follow you now.

Thanks so much! That puts a big smile on my face. I love hearing about the traditions people have about Snake Road. Hopefully next year we can bump into each other and I can wish you two a happy anniversary.

We missed out on the migration this year for the first time in a while. Cool finds and the larval sally was a fun bonus! Good stuff Greg 👊🏼

[@SchechterGuides]

Thanks so much. Definitely wished you guys could have joined us for another collaboration. Maybe we'll get out there again next year. Still plenty of lifers for me to get.

"Walk softly, but carry a big lens" - some herper Crazy to see two greens right in the same area like that. Amazing camo. Definitely a lot of people at certain times of the year there, but fun to meet and greet kind of thing. Lots of sallys in this one, too. Making me want to go there next year.

[@SchechterGuides]

Totally agree. It can be a bit crowded but everyone is super friendly and its always a great place to make new connections. Definitely wish herping was this easy all year round.

@@SchechterGuides Ha! No kidding, if you can't find a snake during the migration at Snake Rd, you've got the wrong hobby.

Another great video. While I certainly enjoy making my own finds, I also enjoy other people's finds. I especially enjoy walking with inexperienced Herpers and giving them tips and spotting Snakes for them. With almost 50 years of experience under my belt, I have a good eye for spotting herps.

That's awesome! Well if we ever bump into one another on the trail, I'd really appreciate learning from all your experience. Even though I've been doing this for a few years, I still feel like I'm stumbling in the forest most of the time. Hope you find some good stuff this year.
