[@rafabonati7757]

I especially enjoyed how you documented the red milk snake jump. Back in the late 1970s, I had a paper published on locomotion in snakes and included a special section on “saltation” (jumping) in red milk snakes from personal observation. I never saw this behavior in other snake species, but assume it occurs. Have you seen this before, Noah?

[@iremcalkl4315]

[@herveybaysnakecatchers]

I can't believe how many snakes you find. I'm from Australia and apparently we a known for our snakes but you guys clearly have a lot more!

[@Darhan62]

The difference with Australia is that, from what I hear, you don't want to just pick up the snakes like we can here. We've got mostly harmless colubrids, and the few venomous snakes here are easily identified. In Australia it's like mostly dangerous elapids and a few pythons, right?

[@ronsolo240]

[@sandraneamah4464]

i’ve never been herping but i am planning on going this weekend i was wondering y you were wearing gloves in this one ? and if i should ?

[@cam8967]

I think it might be because of sharp grass and things around the flips? So your hands dont get ripped up. Or maybe in case you flip a venomous snake your hands are a little protected. Just a guess

[@baritony8763]

Got milks?

[@anthonypalmer1886]

Geez! Are snakes that common in the Kansas wilderness?

[@bmschneider30]

You should make an episode on which non venomous snake bites are the worse 😂

[@Darhan62]

Any bite that lacerates the skin could be a problem, but this usually happens because the person who gets bitten tries to pull away. I guess the bigger the snake the more "damage" it can do, but generally most snake bites are like rows of pin pricks, and might bleed a tiny bit, but heal up completely after a couple of days. Being bitten by nonvenomous snakes is just part of the herping experience. Over time you might learn how to handle snakes in a way the builds trust with them. Sometimes avoiding the initial bite when you first grab them is impossible, or at least more trouble than it's worth, and efforts to avoid the bite (i.e., by not supporting the snake's body weight properly, by shaking it around too much, or by grabbing it right behind the head) will just stress the snake. The first rule of snake catching, for me, is don't catch venomous snakes. The second rule of snake catching is put the welfare of the snake first and don't worry about getting bitten.

Why do so many wild snakes have prolapsed cloacas? I see a handful of the snakes you find have them. Is that from recent breeding? Or possibly parasites or infections found in wild snakes? If anyone can educate me a little on it I’d appreciate it!

Your videos are the best for helping people learn to identify common snakes in their area. You show so many different specimens of milk snakes and ringneck snakes in this video, for example. I think anyone with a pair of eyes should be able to figure out what they look like and how to identify them from that. I've never really understood why many people can't identify common North American snakes on sight, as most of our species look pretty distinctive.
