Flipping for Kingsnakes! Finding Scarlet Kings, Eastern Kings, and more Snakes in Georgia!

[@zro2gon]

Come on guys, lets help this man out. He puts out great content and let's all help him get some new gear for more great content!

[@noahf.1127]

I agree, the farting coral snakes, the spotless spotted salamander, the grouchy water snakes, acting hog noses and more. With support, we can have much more fun and enjoyable content to come.

[@frankiemeyers2610]

totally agree

[@aidanjasso2908]

Yes

[@anawarenessproject6429]

Definitely contact local authorities if you haven’t already. Sometimes pawn shops call local police if they receive suspected theft items. Not always but worth a shot... do you have a go fund me?

[@kirsbeasley87]

It makes me sick that your footage and gear was stolen. You're the reason my daughters love going out and searching for snakes in our area.

[@BulldawgMan]

On second thought, put out a fake bag with a pissed cottonmouth in it.

If you find out who the thief is and you don't want to get your hands dirty, holler and I'll help you out for free 😎

@Big Poppa Smoke - ; -)

[@ahaynes179]

Man, I just found your channel and I love it! It’s been around 30 years since I’ve been herping and tin flipping and you have inspired me to get out there and get back to it. I went last night for the first time on snake patrol and it was great. I thank you for putting all this together and please know there are many snake lovers out there and you touched one of them and have gotten me back in the woods again. What’s that worth? Priceless. And so I thank you. Please keep the inspiration coming. Much Love.

[@brentleyroyals3032]

That sucks about your gear getting rogued off. I am going to do what I can to give you a hand. Cheers to ya, Slán

[@johnbarrowclough538]

Serial numbers might be on your camera/ gopro packaging/ books that came with them

[@jerrymajors9865]

Was wondering what was going on and that’s low of someone to go through that much trouble to take someone’s stuff. Glad it didn’t stop your amazing videos and you always have the best attitude. Keep it up🤟🏼👍🏼✌🏻

[@BulldawgMan]

Set a bear trap for them. How low.

[@donnasanders6349]

You need a go fund me page. Would love to contribute.

[@KP-xf4tu]

I agree!

[@aaoutdoors9088]

You have also helped me find a new interest in snakes. I work in meter boxes every day snd the knowledge I’ve learned from your page has helped me in many situations

[@grotigga9491]

Man I’m so sorry, one like will help him get it back slowly

[@koreandogeater9292]

Dang that really sucks I hope u find the stuff😭😀😭😀

[@aydenrussell8380]

He has encouraged me to go outside and herp for snakes and to identify most of them

[@Nicksharkey521]

[@icepackager]

jeez bro sorry about all your stuff😕 at least your still wanting to make content

[@casualobserver77]

Glad your back man. Keep up the great content.

[@idktbh7108]

i flipped my uncles covers and all i found was a very very small trouser snake.

[@levicrane6101]

Hindsight is 20-20 but to anyone reading this comment I have some advice. I work at a pawn shop and it is easy to think that once things are stolen they get pawned off and disappear forever. My advice is to document every important detail of every expensive item you buy the minute you get it home. That means make, model, serial number, and any identifying features. Believe it or not pawn shops are highly regulated and the employees are required to take and record ID from anyone they do a transaction with. Also, every item a pawn shop takes in gets entered into a nationwide database and gets put on an automatic police hold. This means if your item is stolen in Georgia and someone tries to sell it at a pawn shop in New York it will get the attention of law enforcement. Another thing is to file a police report immediately or else it isn't technically stolen in the eyes of the law. Anyway, hope it helps. Sorry some a-hole stole your stuff.

[@epicalwolfrick6430]

That really sucks,I would call local police and see if there’s anything else they took because those people or person may have been taking tons and tons of things from other people, you could also call the authorities but it is still good you can film

[@hatokuranami5496]

See theres only one reason I'm happy you don't know their name BECAUSE IF I FOUND OUT THEIR NAME THEYD BE DEAD FOR RUINING MY FAVORITE KZbinRS DAY

[@aaoutdoors9088]

I never even knew what herping was until I stumbled across your page. I’m down in Georgia and I absolutely love your page. Your respect and knowledge of these herps is outstanding and I always look forward to your videos brother. Please message me with a way to donate directly to you so that you receive all of the donation. Your positive attitude and motivation is inspirational! Keep on going!

[@yotehunter3468]

It'll be a local kid/teen I figure... Keep looking at Facebook pages, he'll brag about it, or post pictures of the stolen stuff to sell... 98.9999% chance something will show up on "a local to that areas" Facebook....

[@ChargedDualtron]

Disgusting people... It makes me so mad.. See you on patreon my friend! I will help you out! Keep hiking, keep produce awesome youtube videos! Love from Sweden

[@cali_hudson2123]

NOAAAAAAAH NOOOOO IM SO SORRY! 😭😭😭. I’m so happy that your gonna keep going! That really sux. So good to see another video from your channel

[@koreandogeater9292]

Yessss

[@SurvivalTheory]

Do what I do when out adventuring in the woods... I use a thin and long steel cable with loops on both ends and a small lock to secure a box filled with my goodies. They have heavy duty relatively light weight cases of all types available. I can lock to a tree, thick root, etc... No one can just walk up and take it or open box without serious tools. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

[@musiclover9981]

Some people are just complete garbage. Hopefully Karma gets to them soon👍

[@brickosaurus2276]

So sorry to hear about that! your an A+ youtuber, and you inspire me to go herping!

[@angiebaggett9223]

SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BE CAREFUL THERES ALOT OF CRAZIES OUT THERE!! STAY SAFE!! 💜

[@markkasper7281]

Done sir (patreon) sucks about your gear. Keep up the awesome work

[@michaelthornley]

The scum bags! Sorry to hear this my friend...

[@TheCustomEverythingChannel]

Check local pawn shops and Facebook market place and other selling apps

[@TygerByte]

Some people suck! Sorry you have to go through this. Definitely need to insure your gear. Get a personal articles policy from State Farm. That’s what we use for our equipment. Super affordable and no issues with claims.

[@skylardragomire9743]

Hope you get all your stuff back. Sorry to hear about that. Glad you’re keeping your head up and enjoying herping still!

[@Kanonsworld63]

That sucks man hope you are fine.

[@mopeslam7942]

Fist the snakes!

[@andreashuff6515]

It's the greatest field herping content on KZbin

[@reidschuster8055]

Man I signed up for that patreon so fast

[@alexisvanoven4188]

Keep your head up! Love what you do. Alexis, The Netherlands

[@danielcofield3885]

I’ve been watching for a while and finally, I’ve held my first eastern king about an hour ago. Thanks to this channel I’ve been able to identify the snake I’ve been searching for forever. Thanks.

[@lyrieth8833]

I am so sorry to hear this, people can be so shitty at times! I hope you can get some help and maybe when I get my monthly check I will help if I can! I am sure I can speak to our viewers we will be here through the good and the bad!!

[@slipperysam764]

You should probably check under your car for GPS tracking devices. Generally speaking, we have to be careful who we trust. God bless.

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Hang in there man , I’ve had it happen too, including my car . Way to go and still make an episode.

[@RustybeltRC]

Come to Ohio please

[@noahf.1127]

Today’s my b-day and I’m upset this happened, having your cameras and personal belongings taken. I’m sure the Colorado trip was nice.

[@HayesTech]

I am so sorry to hear that crap. I can't believe someone would have the balls to do that. My channel would be hurt very bad if something like that happened to me. I wish I was in a position to help you out.

[@citizenoftheninthdivision]

I couldn't imagine stashing potentially 10-14k worth of gear...in a bush. You'll soon learn. Unlucky. Lol

[@idontextback]

I'm so sorry about yalls items. Please insure new items. Watch your backs and inconspicuously place GoPro to watch your items OR take a STEEL BOX and BIG FAT STEEL CHAIN ( that can't be cut with a tool) to lock your things up to a tree. Can also use cage full of poisonous snakes.... Maybe they'll get karma.

[@BillyJ244]

It sucks that happened to you. People like that ruin it for decent people. Karma will get them. They will have shitty lives. If they do something like that, they are probably on meth or crack. So they are living in hell anyway. The Christian way is to forgive them. But never forget. Sorry this happened to you. I enjoy your show. Thanks for showing us all of these snakes!😁

[@maconmemories3085]

That sucks about your gear. I hate thieves, but I know you will be putting out awesome videos!

[@nataliesreptiles]

As someone who is NOT a photographer or youtuber, I can't wrap my head around the equipment. The wallets on the other hand I'm losing my mind over. If you're anything like me, my whole life is in my wallet. Everything needed for someone to use my identity to gain access to my finances and such. DEFINITELY going to be supporting you on Patrion. You're a pretty down-to-earth guy and you've helped others by giving shout-outs and asking for support for them. So will be doing what I can to help you out.

[@Caseoh_daddy]

Hey man, love your stuff. I really enjoyed the Arkansa Delta video. And I ask you as a Bullfrog lover, make a video where you catch Bullfrogs. Trust me catching them is so fun

[@scottuzarowski3629]

Already hit your PayPal up, I'll try & hit up again next week! Keep on truckin bro!! #THIEVESSUCK!!

[@douglasstemke2444]

What a downer! Another place stuff gets sold of course is ebay. If you have anything unique and can see someone is selling a bunch of things you lost, anyway just a thought. I hope you at least inquired at your homeowners policy, no guarantees, but I understand sometimes those things are partly covered. Really love your work. Outstanding photography, the level of professional information you provide is outstanding, and based on your videos I will be making some sorties to search for my life quest of Green Salamanders, and a few others you noted. Double bummer, because I pass through Missouri a lot on my way south to Texas and I'm sure your videos would have been able to inspire a couple more *fruitless* searchers (LOL). You sure make it look easy. Yeah, I'm going to check in with my homeowners policy here as well. You've been teaching us all about herps, I guess you are also teaching us a bit about life too. Your lesson should be our lesson. You know people here really appreciate your content. I'll help out too (but I'm a dad about to put a kid in college so don't be thinking it'll get you a new macro lens. Best wishes.

[@Imugi007]

I don't understand why someone would want take a snake out of it's natural habitat. Especially something like a kingsnake. They are so easy to get captive bred. It'll be a happier, healthier snake, and it'll be better for the species as a whole. Don't remove animals from they're habitat. Thank you for taking that guy to fuck off.

[@suzanneratliff5523]

I know how it feels to have everything stolen from U,I wish I can help out but the person that stole my phone,even messed up my Facebook & Email! Trying to still fix!

[@davidholloway2260]

Phoenix (Bean) stumbled across your channel today. We were pretty surprised to see someone else we know with a channel. Sorry to hear of your gear loss. Best to you from the Lost Alaskan, we'll see if we can't help your cause in some way. I'm going to post a link to this video on my FB.

[@larrybrown6913]

Not sure if you pursued it, but Homeowners Insurance would cover cameras and other items stolen from you while you're away from home. If you have homeowners insurance (or if your parents carry it, and you live at home), it's likely you will have at least partial coverage.

[@maggiereese1053]

That eastern black kingsnake you caught looks just like Theo, the little guy that lives in my herb garden. I have "known" him since he was a baby about 12" long and he is now about the size of the one you found. There is one much, much bigger that lives in my compost heap next to the kitchen garden. I like having them around esp. the big one, keeps the rodents out of the gardens but, I am not one to handle them.

[@petercarmeci8317]

Dude, so sorry, brother. People suck. I am going to look in your links. If you have a paypal or something like that, I’ll donate a few shekles. If not, please send me a link where I can send you some money.

[@cathytai]

That makes me so mad, Why anyone not desperate to eat would ever steal anything, let alone from a well known and ethical herper. I Just saw this vid, praying somehow your gear turns up. Love your vids, binge watching right now. Keep up the awesome work, guys!

[@173jaSon371]

Ah damn, I had seen that you had unfortunately had your gear stolen but never realized the details since I missed watching this one til now. Sucks you learned the hard way but you definitely have to be 5x as careful in those public park areas unfortunately. Always a chance some opportunistic creep or thief is around.

[@jujuk66]

If you have homeowner’s or renters insurance, you could have coverage. I’m praying & hoping you both are able to recoup your losses.

[@mainemade300]

Don't hide ur stuf other put inside a car with a alarm 🚨 ,can't trust people especially,that's why I have a dash camera frount an rear with WiFi so if there's anything hinnky going on u have a video record for the cops ,pay back is so nice ,.

[@wingnutbreakfast5054]

Mercury retrograde in Gemini for the last two weeks it's been in the gray period... Be careful for the worst part win it goes in to the shadow at the end of the month. If you look around you may get your stuff back at the end of the aspect which it June 15th.

[@sawyerhenbest4978]

I think the colorado content is what i am most looking forward to right now!!!!

[@brandtonwebb4597]

Sorry you gotta deal with this man. I live in north Florida and had a very similar thing happen while freediving in north Florida. Joined the patreon if there’s anything else I can do lmk I have a bunch of lights and shooting equipment and would love to donate some.

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

You're young and you're learning a valuable lesson. Do try to put Find My iPhone to use. No need to apologize for the unusual or degraded video production. You might try to include an Apple tracker in your gear. Its new tech and may help in the future.

[@peteranddorothybowles5428]

Man 7000 grands worth of gear Bit much asking people to pay for it for u isn't it I feel sorry for you dude but take it on the chin and Don't put so much gear in a bag hidden somewhere Learn some street smarts dude

[@Carol-tz4ou]

Dude what those people done to you was so wrong knowing what you do for a living I would be hopping mad as well keep your chin up keep her from doing what you love don't let anything like this impact you negatively

[@kristinequinto2399]

I don't do patreon but as a photographer and an avid watcher of your videos I would love to just straight up donate. Please tell me a way to do this you can dm me on Twitter @bgphotograpy8

[@claygordon6912]

I’m so sorry About it I’m very sorry but I don’t think I can help in the situations I just don’t have the money + my Money got Stolelun

[@haroldhahn7044]

Score another victory for the druggies, and their friends in the government! Better to leave all you can at home, when you swim, and take your car key with you. Put a little cash in your car, out of sight, and bring only the camera you are going to have with you. That way, you do not lose everything at the same time.

[@jasonphilbeck5693]

Throw a big water moccasin in your bag and give ‘em a lil surprise when they try and take your stuff.

[@joshogle5067]

Keep ur head up and doing what u do. Really love ur videos. Nothing worse then a liar and a thief. Sorry for the loss of all ur equipment.

[@billpholde4816]

You have a great attitude that is typical of intelligent people, unlike the backwoods crack addicts who stole your gear.

[@theanimalshack9266]

Hey man I’m so sorry I wish I could help But the only way I can think of is through discord I know how to use it well and would be happy to help with your server

[@hogman2276]

Nice sighting!! You need to invest in a GPS device where you can go and get your belongings ( with the cops of course)

[@alschissler4299]

sorry to hear about your theft of gear. Unfortunately anything left outside or inside a car can be stolen. I experienced it and this is your bread and better so it's horrible. Be more careful next time.

[@zaynpearce_]

hello brother im from Indonesian, can you give me the Scarlett snake i want :( please or i will buy it

[@BoydGilbreath]

I try to watch every episode, thumbs up, and often comment. I tell people about your channel, and only real people are interested

Sorry that happen to you! That really sucks i Hope you can get back at it soon enough! Love your vids btw

Why is there so much trash in the mountains and fields of the United States? It's ironic that the garbage becomes a haven for snakes.

[@florencecoen5919]

Ole blue eyes. Even in shed, pretty snake. Sorry about all your gear. Damn shits.

[@carmenvannoord1592]

Why do people have to do this crap? Stealing from others is just stupid and wrong.

[@joeabeling6873]

For the future look into tile it’s a little key fob sized thing that you can see it’s location on your phone and you can clip it to anything so fucked they would wait to take all your stuff

[@Peter-ic7vj]

I pity the fool or fools who ripped you off.let me know if any new developments with this matter.

[@scottreid3540]

Go to local pawn shops to check. Sorry jerks got you. Register with police.
