Copperhead Bites My Camera! Fall Herping in Georgia: Box Turtles, Kingsnake, Rattlesnake, and More

[@bradmitchell3765]

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.

[@MatthewGore]

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

[@Chrizpl]

This channel is a true daily pleasure my man. As a herping lover from Toronto , Ontario , Canada, its awesome to see people who care as much as I i do about these critters

[@chadhwalker]

Thank you for the obvious work and effort that you put into these videos! Lots of folks living vicariously through them!

[@Aquacrystal11]

Damn, this channel just keeps getting better and better. Winters coming fast here in MA, so I’m super jealous of y’all who live down south. These vids are how I ride out the winter, so keep it up.

[@hunterscott5165]

i’m from GA too. i promise you, our weather sucks. you aren’t missing a thing

[@Aquacrystal11]

@@hunterscott5165 I find it hard to believe lol. Obviously it isn’t 80 degrees and sunny all of the time, but at least it isn’t hailing/snowing/cold raining/ ice build up all winter long. Not to mention the temps. In January, our high is around 28 degrees F, and lows reaching around 8 degrees.

[@parisinthe30sx]

@@hunterscott5165 I like the weather in Georgia. I just moved here(Cherokee county) from sardinia and its about the same temperature as back home but the humidity is way different.

[@parisinthe30sx]

@@Aquacrystal11 28 degrees sounds amazing lol I'm used to Mediterranean weather and I honestly can't wait for a real winter in Georgia

[@Aquacrystal11]

@@parisinthe30sx Lol, it’s horrible for herping, so that’s why. Otherwise, I love MA. Great place. I’m in a very historic town too, so I get a lot of free history lessons everywhere lol.

Noah, I very much appreciate the hard work and research you put into your videos. I have enjoyed each and every one of them. Your videos are the first ones that I view. Thanks again and stay safe.

Awesome video. The one thing I remember well from living in Hazlehurst Georgia, when I was younger, was the fire ants. Man I hated those things.

[@Dovietail]

Is so funny to me how you blithely tap dance over massive pit vipers, often in sandals, when miles from any help yet freak out about wasps and bees, even in your own backyard. 😂😂😂

[@alternatrivpets]

Great Day! That one male box turtle was stunning, and very cooperative. AMAZING video, extremely enjoyable.

[@Dovietail]

Thank you for the beautiful invert shots you often include. Feel free to extend them when given the opportunity. They are grand!

[@Constable_Bob]

Sweet!!! Loved seeing the little ring necks! That rat snake was probably pretty fond of the heat in your hand too.

[@Ccarver06]

Good job wearing real shoes this time👍 I always get anxious when the snakes get close to your sandals

What does nc2 mean I have been watching this channel for 3~ years and have no clue

[@freekashon2699]

He's saying "in situ" which is Latin for "in habitat" or "in its own situation". He takes in situ photos to show the animal in its natural habitat. A photo of an animal in a hand or on a hook is not in situ"

What's your first step to find a spot to look for herps? I'm in Central California, plenty of land around me and tons of snakes to find. I want to do it safely of course, and I'm sure it's much more time consuming than it seems. Thanks for any tips! Love your channel man

[@Manpigeon]

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

[@mitch3849]

@@Manpigeon I've laid out plenty of plywood pieces around my property and am hoping the snakes will start coming to me, but I want to be more adventurous and search for them
