Finding Rattlesnakes and Neon Nerodia! Early Spring Snake Emergence in Georgia

[@alternatrivpets]

Thanks, Noah for another great adventure. With all of the feces going on in the world right now, these videos are just what an old field herper needs. Keep up the outstanding work!

[@MyDrillaDrilla]

Rip the person who lost their flipflop

[@jameandthegiantpeach2273]

... that reddish snake on the thumbnail is outstanding looking...🐍👍

[@farroutherps891]

The second Timber was beautiful!

[@bcfortenberry]

Rally enjoy these videos. They’ve made me more aware and appreciative of my surroundings in the wild.

[@singlevideoofafoot5123]

I also rally people together to enjoy these videos. I can’t enjoy them alone. I MUST RALLY!!!

[@foxwoodjones9831]

I see among the many snakes & reptiles you found in your video, that you also found the elusive flip-flop snake lying in the edge of the river. 18:55. Very nice. 😜

[@rneustel388]

The timbers are certainly masters of camouflage!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Great job. Some of those midlands are absolutely stunners.

[@terrybraun9391]

I love the outdoors and all nature both plants and animals.Your posts just add to my enjoyment.

[@happycanayjian1582]

I always get a chuckle out of you getting bit. Where I would be screaming like a little girl if one would turn and bite me, you’re just like: “Hey, c’mon. Be nice. Whoa. Chill out.”

[@ggoannas]

I wish you had been my neighbor when I was growing up. I could have done this all day long.

[@pixel3610]

So glad god released a new nerodia skin!

[@RupertsReptiles]

2nd cane was fantastic

[@theshocker4626]

There are large Blandingsturtles in Michigan. Compared to the common sliders, they fascinate me.

[@tgetsWgaming]

Good finds! BTW I see eastern newts in my creek by the dozens its crazy! last year I even found 4-5 newt egg masses in the creek!

[@johndenu9230]

Hey luv the channel takes me back wen I went creek walking for garters n water snakes

[@user-jh6vl4kx7c]

is good 2 see snakes out again seems like its been winter forever

[@bellamichelle777]

Thank you for your videos, so many cool animals and love how you interact with them!

[@Danimalsfan]

nerodia are so fun. I love how variable they are

[@JH-hh5jm]

Cool videos dude. Blows my mind how you spot these things so quick. It takes me ages to find them even with your camera zoomed in on them lol

[@fenman1954]

Love your herping vlogs . It's good to see the different species.

[@shiveringlots]

This is my first video on your channel and I had a hard time spotting some of them herps! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@wildmanmark12]

When I was younger I caught so many queen snakes where I live at. Especially along this when small creek. Sometimes I'd come across around 7 to 10 of them.

[@fly_speck_cafe]

Each queen snake you find renews my hope of seeing one. You look on a map, the disjunct population in Missouri, the one county, that's me.

[@impala9c1]

Georgia: Tin and railroad ties. The debris state. 😀

[@CallsignOutdoors]

Dude, those Midland waters were nice.

[@billmorris2613]

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 27 Feb 22.

[@jennzack28]

@14:57 that water snake was Gorgeous!! ♥️

[@jenn1234]

Awesome video Noah! Lots of nice looking snakes, salamanders, and a few frogs. The rattle on the first rattle snake was insane! Love the content on your channel, so keep up the great work! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

Awesome video as always ! Cant wait for it to get warm up here and start herping. Still ice fishing on 10 inches near Kankakee. 🐟 🐍 🐢

[@kwaakwamtayola8210]

Thank you!

[@Dovietail]

When you say habitat is or isn't good, could you always include why you feel that way? Eager to learn!

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Nice video!!

[@pamblake6231]

Nice videos. You mentioned Indigo snakes, and a 7’7” one was caught on Ft. Stewart, GA

[@Dovietail]

Freakin' LOVE nerodia! ❤️

[@Jh46282]

These videos get me motivated to go herping, but I've found 3 snakes while herping out of like 10 times

[@lesliejohnson4196]

Great Vedio

[@chrisgrinstead8861]

I’m always jealous of the salamanders you get to see. I’m in Texas and I’ve seen a couple Eastern Newts in my 50 years but that’s it

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

If you started with a marble salamander, everything would go well. Nice timber rattlesnakes and water snakes. At least four European species, the newt larvae aren’t toxic at all. They develop toxicity after metamorphosis. So they have very minimal success in fish-infested waters. You can find a few of them, but very rarely. On the other hand, toad tadpoles are toxic from the start and even eggs are toxic. Only the Metamorph stage is relatively harmless to predators.

[@eddieharris8547]

6 weeks till snakes even think about making an appearance here. 8 weeks till timbers. 5 solid months of winter here. It's been below 0 for a while.

[@realfnneato3111]

Chorus frog may have expanded its vocal sac for defensive puposes

[@lynnwheeler2093]

How the timber rattlesnakes we have in New Hampshire are so much darker and alot less colorful than the ones down south?

[@Oreosucka]

in some places in south they are called canebrakes because of this and used to be a sub species! (Now clumped together as 1 species) And I can understand why as, down south you’ll never get timbers that look like other states, or live in the swamps

[@ИринаМаркова-з4л]

Очень нравятся твои прогулки

[@kathlynnewcombe2525]

Hey there! I have 2 boys that are huge fans of yours, ages 10 and 7. We will be traveling from Michigan to Florida and wondered if there might be the slightest chance my boys could meet you if only for a moment as we travel through Georgia. Thanks!

[@kesomon]

I finally caught up to the new stuff after binging all the herping vlogs here, phew! Finally, I can ask the burning question in my brain: do you have any pet herps yourself, or do you subside solely on outdoor encounters for your scaley enjoyments?

[@devonlee988]

That was a hybrid newt/axealottle however you spell in lol

[@Oreosucka]

No it wasn’t

[@lincolnbuffington2271]

Noah great video's me and my kids love watching your videos ... Got a question get ahold of me if you could please ...

[@ZillaTheTegu]

Question: When you flip over rocks and you find an animal under it, how do you put the rock back in place without hurting the animal, especially if they move? It would be sad if your squishing them when you put the rock back.

[@NKFherping]

Move them out and let them crawl back under after the rock is safely replaced. Easy.

[@gordondalrymple7644]

Any day is a great one in out the country away from bragging football players and stale tv shows

[@canaanval]

My goal for this year is to find a queensnake....much harder up here as there is estimated to be only a couple hundred left in all of Ontario☹

[@nightinggale6470]

I’m in Ontario and I’ve found multiple last year, found five basking in one bush last October. Can’t give out any specific locations but if you do enough research you should be able to find them. Good luck!

[@canaanval]

@@nightinggale6470 I saw them frequently when I was little (I grew up on the Bruce peninsula) ....now I live up in North Bay, so my opportunities are far more limited(ie. gas prices LOL)

[@Oreosucka]

@@canaanval good luck!!! try INaturalist if you have not already for sightings!

[@erikbergum2586]

I wonder if snakes can get on the property of Atlanta International Airport!!!!@

[@Sushi2735]

Crazy question??? Have you considered having TWO SNAKE HOOKS??? One at home, and one you keep stored in your car??? It would make you seem smart and professional. Worth considering, hum?

[@liammanvell2896]

Come on first person 😅

Would you say the name of the county youre in on future videos.

[@georgemaceachern4355]

[@nonesoherpetological8974]

County can give away a little too much for unique habitat which makes spots easily findable. Herpers don't do this for a reason.

[@SCOHEN250K]

A roughly 4ft rattlesnake with about 17 rattles is a" fairly young snake" because it has a taper to its tail? Can't be serious.

[@nathanping5729]

You said only two snakes they were three don’t forget ya pipe snake ya found that u thought was indigo lol jk

[@davidwilson8800]

Timber not canebreak

[@carlosnumbertwo]

Bro you’re gonna get a heinous infection you keep letting these things bight you.

[@NKFherping]

Well, no. The consensus from snakebite experts (ex. Dr. Spencer Greene) is that they’re incredibly low risk from infection. Your neighborhood dogs and cats are FAR more dangerous than nonvenomous snakes.

[@NKFherping]

And on top of that, I’ve been doing this since I was old enough to walk and haven’t had a single infection in literally hundreds of nonvenomous bites.
