Kingsnake Crazy! Productive Spring Snake Hunting in Georgia

[@casualobserver77]

My sons came home from a hike with their mom the other day and were eager to tell me how they did some "flippin" like the guy on youtube. Your vids are a big hit around the dinner table. Keep up the great family friendly content man!

[@amandaandbrennlie2694]

Thank you for your videos... I’m no longer scared to death of snakes. I’ve helped a few across the road because of you!! I’ve educated my kids because of you. I’ve educated strangers because of you... I’m in WV and seems like everyone wants to kill them instantly and there’s no sense in it... THANK YOU!

[@austenwhelan7242]

I’ve always found snakes interesting and often times mis understood creatures. Your vids show that which I think is great.

Can you do a video on where to look for snakes and what snakes like what structures and also what’s best tempature and weather and time of day

[@journeywithgabriel5031]

See the thing about that is that there is no specific info on how where and when to find them

My garage , I find'em there all the time

[@ericv1540]

@Walter You didn't have to be a pretentious dick to someone who just wanted to learn about snakes as if everyone should just automatically know. You are right, you can watch the videos, but maybe there are specific pieces of information the person wanted to find out about that can't always be gathered from these videos. Or, maybe they are a younger individual and don't entirely know all the places and resources out there directing them where to look, so their inclination is to ask someone they look up to. So no, its not common sense, especially if you aren't all that familiar with snakes.

[@williamdewhirst6137]

That was a FANTASTIC video. I love the chain kings Thanks. You do a great job filming.

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Beautiful country! The salamanders indicate a healthy habitat and the snakes were gorgeous, though unappreciative of your admiration. I've always had a special fondness for lizards, which dates back to my growing up catching and releasing "horny toads" (horned lizards) in central and west Texas. We would put them to "sleep" by gently petting their heads. When we replaced them on the ground, they would wake up after a moment and go about their business without particular hurry or fear. Wonderful little creatures. The babies are cute beyond belief. Toads always seemed businesslike, always seeming to know the best places to set up shop to find bugs, like under street lamps. They are ungainly and not particularly attractive according to standard human esthetics, but they have the most beautiful eyes. West Texas has spadefoot toads, and after a rare big rain their babies were everywhere. Thank you for taking us along. Refreshing, especially in these times, and brings back good memories.

[@randyceballos2136]

Dude, your videos are great! I'm an exotic veterinarian and see all kinds of snakes and other reptiles. I'm an avid reptile nut and your videos are authentic and educational. Keep up the good work!

[@bigtaxrefund]

cute little salamander @ 0:56. snake hunting looks like great fun. snakes are so cute

[@richardhendrix7894]

again another great snake show,thanks.

[@tomdougherty1543]

Nice job Noah, I’d love to come across a pair of Kings like that, I’d totally freak out, thanks for sharing.

[@verifiedofficial5916]

fr thanks for uploading so much, very steady, love it

[@scottmckenna9164]

So enjoyable watching your explorations and your tender heart towards all creatures great and small.

[@chetchurchill9524]

Wow, Noah. What a great vid re: king snakes. I thought both the first two were gorgeous . . . but then came the huge breeding male! What awesome snakes. I’ve lived up here in south Jersey since ‘91. Only found one Eastern King. Unfortunately, a sub adult DOR in the Pine Barrens. Need to go back out hunting for them this season. Thx for being such a great ambassador for southern serpents. 😉

[@43ShaDey]

How lucky to be doing something that you love and making money while doing it. I hope you never get bored of it, we thoroughly enjoy ur channel.

[@ethanhuntscoins9721]

my day is soooo much better during quarintine when you upload

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

"Holy balls" lmao. Good stuff . Your vids never disappoint. 👍

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

That second king was amazing! I don't know if I've ever flipped a water snake in that scenario. Great video!

[@Nirky]

Best ever local Georgia video.

[@lewsouder]

Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Kansas trip was truly insane. Looking forward to your TX season. Do you keep the alterna you find? Thanks for the content. 👍

[@monikasturm2575]

I went herping for the first time today but there was a twist. I never left the patio of my apartment. Woke up and a 4ft Eastern Coachwhip slithered by then later a 1.5ft Western ribbon snake. We have tons of Cuban and Green anoles I watch all the time. To top the experience later that night an Opossum walked by. I'm calling the experience Lazy Herping. Lol

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Beautiful King , beautiful place 👍

[@junebug97]

Eastern Kingsnake Project is collecting data on kingsnakes living in metro atlanta and north ga!! Clemson PhD student doing his work on them; tracking them, testing for snake fungal disease. You should let them know! I'm from georgia as well and am thoroughly enjoying your GA vids!

[@houstonoutdoors6679]

Wow what a day. 2 Kings under the same sheet of tin is extremely good.

[@turbonetic777]

Hello, new to your channel. I never liked snakes kind of scared of them, but respect them and think they are Beautiful and leave them alone when I stumble upon them. Your videos are helping me get over my fears. Thank you for posting. Have you ever visited North Carolina? We have a State park called “William B. Umstead park in Raleigh, NC next to RDU airport that I think you will find lots of snakes. Awesome park. Thanks for posting 😊

[@WolfOverland]

im just here to learn about snakes. they scare the hell outta me! your videos are helping me! keep them coming.

[@katiekane5247]

They're more scared of you. You're too big to eat & humans are dangerous. They will always leave if you give them a chance.

[@silgradsgaming8615]

Doesn't the oil on your hands hurt the salamander and newts when you pick them up? Love your videos by the way I watch all of them almost as soon as they are posted!

[@katiekane5247]

I live in Dawsonville, hope to see more snakes this spring. Had our Ball Python out on the porch today for a good soak & some sunshine.

[@joshuahull9982]

I went herping earlier today and didn't see anything in the woods near my house. I guess finding my pet eastern box turtles in my backyard to feed them doesn't necessarily count as herping. I went hiking along the canal in the next town over last night and literally saw hundreds of frogs and toads though. I mostly saw American toads, leopard frogs and green frogs. The canal is about a 15 minute drive from my house.

[@alpenglw4743]

have you ever considered coming up to northern california ? lots of herps up here, we got salamanders galore !!

[@ROESPLETZ]

Can’t stand snakes but for some reason I keep watching your channel! Good content! And I don’t have to see the serpent in real life

[@herpinghighlights7144]

Damn, that huge male kingsnake was a boss!!!

[@stoneforest2639]

Hey man, I tried going herping but I couldn’t flip anything or find anything out and about. Are there just days when herps just aren’t find-able? I did find what I think was a huge 5 lined skink. It had a body of a blue tounged skink but it had the lines, it was just really fat. It was basking before I noticed it and it went zoom (No need to identify it not what I’m asking)

[@esthertundrafield3646]

Herping questions when you pick up a creature from underneith a rock when your done looking at it do you put it next to the rock? or put it back under i would worry about smashing it xD

[@houstonoutdoors6679]

Yeah put the rock back without the animal under then encourage it to crawl back under.

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Esther Tundrafield: Put the rock or log back and let them crawl under. In an earlier one of his videos, they herped in an area where someone who had been there before them apparently just dropped the cover back down on the animals. They found many dead or badly injured crushed animals and cursed at the careless, stupid jerk who had done it. So pass the word: put it down and let them crawl back on their own. Sometimes you might need to help them find the entrance but usually they find it by themselves. It's interesting to watch the animals as they get back into their safe retreats. With some snakes it's comical, like slurping a big noodle.

[@robertjanko6709]

One of my fav YT channels from the east coast. The other is creek fishing from Tennessee. You should do a vid together, can be helpfull for fisherman and kids on how to behave, if you meet a snake while fishing.

[@7tree1outdoors]

Glad to see I’m not the only guy who puts snakes in his pockets 😂 I got kicked out of a gender reveal party for putting a tiny little ring neck snake in my breast pocket once 🤣🤣

[@koreandogeater9292]

If your an actual guy you wouldn't say breast pocket lmafo

[@UnwrittenSpade]

The large king you found right before the plain bellied watersnake, what was the big cut on its side where its innards were hanging out? Was he ok?

[@chetchurchill9524]

That was it’s cloaca or anus. It was okay.

[@Everythingout]

Same thing happened to me I found a beautiful speckled king and then a full dark male speckled king I’m with her

[@briannaarrington8331]

i live in georgia and would love for you to photograph all the snakes on my land !

[@WoahThatIsJesus]

Do you know of any good productive spots in Hall County? Looking to get into herping sometime this summer but I have no idea where to go lmao

[@jimmyjames2022]

Handling salamanders with only a dry hand damages their "skin". Natural oils, salts or any perfumes from lotion, soaps etc. and transferring pathogens such as chytrid across individuals, plus just plain burns from the dryness. Noah is very careful with animals generally, but this one thing might be considered going forward.

[@NathanOberdier]

can you go herping for rough green snakes?!!!

[@MisbehavingKitty]

I’d love to see a bite compilation video, people assume the bites are always horrible terrifying and it would be nice to see how not scary the bites are. Also little ring necks and garters trying to be grumpy would be adorable lol

[@koreandogeater9292]

Some people actually have a really bad reaction with the saliva of a garter believe it or not

[@willburr5929]

Back in the day, I had a pair of Kings that made that big boy look kind of petite. One was an Eastern Chain and the other one of those South Florida "speckled" - chocolate brown with a gold spot on each scale. I kept them in a Bio Lab at a college where they had all u can eat lab rats and not only were they both just shy of 7 ft, as you can imagine they were on the very hefty side as well. They were perfectly behaved and made a lot of friends out of the ignorant would-be herp haters.

[@ruchikadayal9469]

Noah: ... quite frankly an obese snake. Snek: shh... I'm just floof.

That second king snake looked like it had an injury on it. I thought I saw pink intestines or something sticking out. Time stamp 6:28. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

[@atravers349]

I thought so, too. I think maybe it crapped and it's vent was still open! Also, what was wrong with that watersnake's tail?

My family thinks that every snake is a copperhead and that they have to to them with the shotgun SMH...

[@randomtube8226]

@Walter I have been trying to educate my family for years. I tell them just because they don't like or are afraid of snakes doesn't mean that they have to kill them. I also tell them that not all snakes are venomous. Lastly I tell them if they see any snakes just to go the opposite direction and just leave them alone.

[@paradice9920]

Not a good idea to keep wild caught snakes as pets. 1) Terrible for the Animal. Most likely will stress out and will not eat when you attempt to feed him. Your also taking an animal from its natural habitat. 2) Wild snakes are more prone to disease and other health problems. Which means a lot more $ out of your pocket. 3) Without knowing the correct habitat features, you may end up stressing a snake terribly bad to the point of suicide.
