Huge Ratsnakes and Eastern Hognose! Late Spring Roadcruising for Snakes in Georgia!

[@kmagnussen1052]

The academy award for best acting in a snake documentary goes to the Eastern Hognose.

[@jakev0895]

Close second is a bull/ gopher snake

[@kimspurre1242]

So true

[@snakes_with_leo]

I reckon the Rinkhals would take that award tbh

[@jerodwatson6492]

Good ole reliable drama noodles. Always steal the show

[@shanemiller6982]

Naaaa man..... That was clearly over acting. There was no suspension of disbelief. I mean really... At any point did you believe the guy was actually dead? I didn't think so.🙄

[@Chakfor]

Hognose are always so much fun. Who doesn't love the drama noodles?!?!

[@DroGhost1]

Yo facts bro

[@CityInItaly]

No joke they my fave snake

[@jimhagen852]

Thanks for your videos! After catching snakes for 45+ years, I caught one last month for the 1st time WITHOUT pinning his head first. Followed your example (4.5 Ft Blake rat Snake), & he was SO cool, never tried to nip at me even once. I took him to the closest tree line & released him (got him out of the road). Looking forward to the next catch & release! (Sometimes, even an old dog can learn a new trick!).

[@DejanBogdanovic]

Hah different areas diferent styles... I never pinned a snake in my life and caught quite a lot during a period over 10+ years... I let the harmless ones bite me, use gloves for other ones... :)

[@carschmn]

The second box turtle was adorable. The eastern hognose doesn’t agree that they are harmless.

[@bradsillasen1972]

Best hog action I've seen. You can really see those toad-poppers!

[@fly_speck_cafe]

That one got all the good genes!

[@Rustyssnakeadventures]

I loved how that Hog only half-committed to playing dead at first and looked at you like, “You’re still here bro?” 😂

[@vincentdegregorio2077]

New Jersey here and I flipped a tiny baby costal plains milk the other day and I was so happy because I was very jealous of your last trip with all the milks you were finding

[@Chris_Brill]

Lucky you, I can never find any cool snakes around Central jersey it's just eastern garters

[@vincentdegregorio2077]

@@Chris_Brill I’m in central Jersey haha just gotta know the good spots. Where do you go?

[@rebekkahboo7574]

illinois here been watching for abt 3 years and i love your content i my self have caught 27 snakes this month

[@shannonlong6640]

I am also from Illinois.

[@shannonlong6640]

And also a huge fan of this channel.

[@drewriley6705]

hahaha when that hognose "came back to life" the look he gave you 🤣

[@jessicabuck-daniel2160]

I almost died when that Hognose jumped at the camera. I screamed out loud!!

[@kdawwwgyplayz6354]

I love the Hognose they cute and awesome

[@jimjett9996]

The snakes like the heat from the blacktop on the cool nights .

[@davidsorensen7438]

I’m glad shit is picking up last 2 videos has been the bomb - good job

[@GLepage74]

Those Hognose’s look like cobras with their hoods! Very cool!

[@piratenpyrooo]

Love what you do man!😁

[@chetchurchill9524]

Indeed Pirate! Not only does Noah share his many, exciting adventures with us and educate the public . . . but he also saves countless herps from sudden death on the highways. Truly a prince among men you are NKF!

[@chetchurchill9524]

I once hit a “Honey Hole” for Rough Greens in east Texas back in the ‘70’s. In a 2-5 day period, we captured 40 in a very small patch of bushes adjacent to a creek. Great times!

[@piratenpyrooo]

@@chetchurchill9524 100% agree!! Seen him save alot by now! Not often you find people like that now a days :/

[@kelbythompson4895]

Hope you are well. I also live in North Georgia and would love to go herping with you one day. Huge snake enthusiast and was hoping I could get some hands on experience with flipping.

[@1rodimusprime]

Eastern hognose is my favorite. That snake is awesome.

[@CityInItaly]

I was getting ready to start cleaning my kitchen, but I wanted to go outside for a second, but to my surprise found a 6ft rat snake climbing on my door trying to get to a birds nest! 😂

[@Taylordude-Productions]

Probably a garter snake

[@BrolyOrAurak]

Beautiful finds!

[@HumanOptimization]

Awesome stuff guys!

[@shaunaclark9479]

I love it when they play dead.😊

[@Coltbreath]

Thank You again! those Rats were titanic!

[@tgetsWgaming]

sadly been seeing lots of DOR rats recently. Great vid!

[@woodmanhugh]

Awesome herping, we enjoy your vid’s

[@Dikkensyder]

You always know when you're in the south. Just look around and all you can see are pine trees with a few oaks sprinkled between.

[@wiredperformance6130]

Watching the hognose strike was neat. The few I’ve interacted with never played dead even when picked up. Nice video!

[@hollycosmic]

That hog really said “oh so you’re NOT gonna eat me!?” 😅😂😂

[@kimhancock5965]

I love how respectful this channel is to all creatures🥰. it saddens me anytime I see snakes,turtles or anything else killed in the road. I'm sure sometimes its accidental but more times than not hateful people murder them😢

[@susiepittman601]

I agree with you. I have an irrational fear of snakes but I know that they are God's creations just like me. This man's videos help.

[@yzettasmith4194]

Hognose: Fear me! I'm a cottonmouth cobra!

[@sting1111]

Another enjoyable video.

[@angelspake81]

That's a Chuck's wills widow

[@studbourbon798]

Those Georgia cobras are so cool.

[@garrettt1016]

good afternoon! thank you so much for always uploading. i am here in austin, texas. i have used your videos as partial guidance for others to avoid snakes and be able to identify them in their hiking adventures, and i was wondering if the next time youre in texas, if you can do a herp around the austin area? it would really help me and my friends feel more at ease with our pups! we currently live in a neighborhood with a TERRIBLE rattlesnake problem, and now my neighbors are out killing any kind of snake they see. i always see how misunderstood snakes are through your videos. thank you so much for shedding light on the pitbull of the coldblooded community. theyre really not so bad!

[@avatarfan6583]

Hello, I love your videos.

[@janeilnold5863]

That hognose was wild! Never seen one flash its moth and fangs like that!

[@dacisky]

Nice video for sure.

[@jenn1234]

Hey Noah, sorry I am just getting to your video.......had a really shitty day yesterday. Your video cheered me up. That hognose was a trip like you said with it’s gaping mouth. It’s funny how they play dead like they do, but at least you got to see it being all “tough” before he died. Lol. I absolutely loved that second rat snake!!! I loved it pattern and it’s laid back attitude 🙂. As far as the red bellied, I like the black ones better......especially if they are really dark. I’m looking forward to you going on your trip because it always leads to good content (not that you don’t always put out good content 😉), it’s just nice to see different places since I can’t afford to go anywhere. Thanks for another great video and I can’t wait till the next! Stay safe and take care! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍

[@peterhazen2160]

Me and my friend herped a rattle snake at inks lake state park. Got a nice go pro vid. It struck the camera. Awesome video as always, I enjoy watching.

[@kstogie]

You can count annuli on the turtle scutes when they are young, before the annuli get too narrow to count or worn smooth. The box turtle is approximately 4 years old.

[@countryproddddddddd]

dude you are on fire.

[@auzziefive]

I love how you edit your videos clip after clip and a 6:58 that is so funny ant cute also love the copperhead segment please try to use that more in your videos

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

I’m going to bite you, no, er I think I’ll play dead. As an actor I’m available for this season, a role with a roll would be good. 😂

[@Taylordude-Productions]

The first time I saw a hognose I wasn't sure what the hell it was doing, looked like he was turning himself inside out.. LOL

[@Coolness18304]

tell the truth, yall jumped when the hognose snake struck lol

[@arashghasemi]

Walker county GA here 👋

[@marykaystreasures]

When I was a child the first time I saw a spread nettle snake I thought I saw a cobra I was so scared

[@scottglab9713]

i miss the Georgia climate. lots of snakes turtles, big king snakes and colorful copperhead snakes

[@wolverinebear5357]

The toad slayer put on a show

[@StixxTx]

I didn’t realize Hognose had fangs!

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Nice large ratsnakes. What you say about their behavir holds for the European four-lined snake as well. They are somewhat nervous as youngsters but tend to chill out as adults. They have the nickname of gentle giants. Also I didn’t know that hognoses opened their mouth for display.

[@natehoover5266]

I was just attacked by a turkey hiking in WV. They can be scary.

[@cipz7124]

I love snakes

[@Hamburglar009]

That eastern hognose was beautiful and I am not a big fan of hognose snakes. His displays were impressive too! Dedicated to being scary until it was time to die

[@pinecreekcoffeecompany8703]

Come up to the Raleigh area love to have you identify local species

[@coraltown1]

That was hog-tastic !

[@lynndora5046]

Look at him o no he died he so funny 😂

[@joshuasuggs2379]

I think the hognose defense mechanism would work best against outdoor cats

[@kiddconley6333]

Why did the big black rat look like he was in Mindcraft? How do snakes do that?

[@davidpruitt9693]

Maybe a repeat question, but what part of North Georgia ??

[@jimc6687]

Hognoses have fangs?? Seriously?? It sure looked like it with that quick shot before that passing car!!

[@NKFherping]

Yup, and venom. If they ever bit in the wild I would probably have to start labeling differently, but I’ve never heard of a single wild Hognose bite much less an envenomation.

[@jimc6687]

@@NKFherping Obviously good to know, Noah...........although I have yet to come across one of these guys I shall now forever be wary to pick them up and figure the worst thing I'd get is comparable to a bite from a racer or common water snake. I know there are several rear fanged species here in the US but learning this about Hognose snakes is most definitely eye-opening!! Thanks for the quick response buddy! Jim C.

[@ErrorInvalidName]

You wouldn't be affected by the venom unless you're allergic to it which most aren't. Remember watching a video on a breeder that his friend had the hog bury his lower thumb in it's mouth and refused to let go for a good while lol. He had to have a few hits of epi later that evening.

When you going to go to Florida and hunt some Anacondas! Although what will you do with them if you find any? Don't know what you think about invasive species wrecking environmental chaos...

[@peatographee5428]

Hey! Unusual comment here! I don’t know if you’d be interested, but I would love to try editing a video or two for you on a trial basis! I often hear you say in your videos, that you have to go edit videos, and i was just curious if that was something I could take off your shoulders! I’ve been filming and editing skit & random montage style videos for about two years, and have loved reptiles for a long time! Not expecting an answer, but if you’re interested, feel free to get back to me here on KZbin!
