Looking for Frogs and Snakes in Alabama! Incredible Frog Diversity and Wading with Cottonmouths

[@marcusdelusignan7497]

Sweet home Alabama

[@michaelthornley]

Loved seeing all the various species of frogs. Cheers from Australia

[@hoptoit5910]

So different to what we have in Oz isn’t it? Those frog calls were like nothing I’ve ever heard before.

[@smetlogik]

Lol that gopher was like..."I don't think you realize how fast I really am...boi" Lol that bronze frog just chilling the tree. That cotton with all the frogs going off in the background. Herping in a nutshell.

[@fly_speck_cafe]

You should see the gopher at 2x. 😄

[@smetlogik]

The mosquitos in that pond with the cottons were horrendous... we left Noah to his own devices, haha.

I'm glad you got to see your lifer pine barrens tree frog.

[@normamiller1676]

I loved the quiet tromping, seeing the moccasin, watersnake, frogs, and polliwogs.

[@ssdpqd2531]

Quite nice.

[@MoFe12345]

I’d love it if you could make a tutorial of tips and tricks on increasing chances of success with herping. Temperatures, amount of daylight, cloud cover, humidity, pre/post rain, etc. You find a ton of these incredible animals!

[@slipperysam764]

Me too! Many of us consider NKF our mentor.

[@pezdavis4632]

Yes I agree!!!!

[@LITBUIphoneXSMax]

Yay new vid, your my favorite your my favorite channel and you got me into herping myself

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

You’re really good at identification. Awesome episode, thanks .

Love all the Treefrogs! Here in Central Florida I mostly see the invasive Cuban Treefrogs.

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Amazing frog diversity and loud calls, just like a tropical place.

[@TraveljunkieBB]

Loved this particular episode! I find it very relaxing to follow you through the swamps and woods identifying various frogs, toads, snakes, etc. I have always been terrified of snakes, but am slowly overcoming my fears with your expert knowledge, soothing voice, general caring of these creatures. I live in Northern Calif. and hiking in the summer with rattlesnakes out and about terrifies me.

[@daveco1270]

That was a crazy spot you found, back in that pond with the super loud frogs and all the snakes.

[@miindjuice]

Yo that gopher tortoise really went “Check it! wanna see some real speed as i cross this road”

[@bestlaughs6932]

I find cottonmouths all the time at the creek in my neighbor hood! I have a picture of a beautiful one! Great vid keep it up

[@chetchurchill9524]

Very nice Hyla diversity. Cool seeing the narrow mouths as well. Outstanding swamp experience!

[@teddyghioto]

Thank you for the respect you show our wildlife...God Bless the Heart of Dixie...

[@ingelri2]

I've learned about identifying reptiles in the past few weeks watching your channel than in the past 40 years. Keep up the great content!

[@iamryannorth]

Noah your honestly my favorite KZbinr and I'm always waiting for ur videos to drop

[@adityaraheja2685]

The wide range of diversity! Absolutely spectacular!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Great job. A fantastic night for Hyla....

[@mrzjohnson4]

I love your aquatic based videos. My favorites for sure 👍🏼 Decided to drive past my camp gate today and saw a massive common snapper sitting in the middle of the road. Love seeing the dinosaurs 👍🏼

[@slipperysam764]

The sleeping Green Anole was very interesting. The various water snakes and pond was good. Agreed that giving the audience the natural sounds of the habitat is cool. I'm having some difficulty distinguishing between Northern and Banded Water Snakes.

[@petercarmeci8317]

Great video as usual, Noah. Keep them coming.

[@adrianbara-popa9960]

What an epic trip! Makes me wanna visit Alabama.

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Awesome frogs 🐸

[@thesnapperkeeper]

Awesome video,the cruising cottonmouth was great.We have the wonderful Pine Barrens here in NJ too

[@olsonlr]

Tree frogs are my favorite. You really hit the jackpot that night.

[@scope_football]

just flipped my first coachwhip today. loved that you featured an anole, I liked the frogs too.

[@caughtafaygo]

The juvenile 1st copperhead was gorgeous

[@chetchurchill9524]

Awesome find, Micah . . . a mating pair of Pine Barrens T. F.’s!

[@kharmachaos667]

We've got western fence lizards (we call them "blue-bellies") on our property and ever since i was a little girl i loved catching them, and the occasional alligator lizard. Have not been bit yet, even caught a cold fresh out of brumation male alligator lizard at work in our building and let him warm up on my chest! A very fun thing to do with blue bellies is, when they push up at you, nod your head back- they will keep response-push ups like "what? What? Bruh" 🤣

[@Bulldog2108]

Really enjoy seeing the amphibians on your channel, looking forward to salamanders in the autumn (fall)! Awesome to see the gophers too!

[@cnnroutside]

Even tho the last clip cut out, I f w the Patron background music🔥and that copperhead had a nice fade in that pattern😂awesome video!

[@oakleysadventurs1709]

And I catch them in my creek the Hornsby creek In louisiana

[@camandtateoutdoors2439]

You should watch Louisiana herps! They are awesome! also it would mean a lot if you checked out my channel i film herping vids and fishing and other stuff outdoors

[@ShonnMorris]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@ArcherProdz]

If you do another Mississippi trip I would recommend Laurel in Ovett it’s like a whole new world in the woods

[@TheHerpHotline]

That water moccasin was beautiful

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

I love those banded water snakes. To me they look more intimidating than a cotton mouth.

[@andrewhadlock3569]

Love the content as a former Georgia native now living in the great state of Texas, keep up the hard work I'll keep watching

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Nice video! Good to see the pine barrens tfs. 👍 What was the salamander you were looking for? Red-hills salamander?

[@foreverjim5240]

Hahaha. Holds up super bloody hand... It's really a pretty sweet snake! What?? Id hate to see a mean snake

[@ejc.herping3615]

[@birbles]

12:22 Okay, I love snakes and own a few myself even, but this is this stuff nightmares are made of.

[@fayemartin465]

[@luisr3248]

You should do some tree frog herping, it’s a nice challenge to find them, plus I think a lot of us would love to see some tree frogs

[@loyaltyisroyalty5616]

@12:33 does anyone know what that little white jellyfish looking thingy is swimming around?

[@Goreptiles]

Wow! I remember when he only had a couple hundred subs now he has almost 200k subs!

[@jasonirelan4487]

I’m on the fence about that lizard.

You should carry a few glow sticks with you in case you are ever stranded in the dark. Happy hunting. Love the videos.

Cottonmouths look a lot like a water snake to me. And based on that bite, I’m not sure I’d say water snakes are “harmless.” 😂

How old do you think the second Gopher tortoise was? Watching old vids of yours. Great content as usual. Thanks

Bro I need help finding snakes I've been trying and trying to find ring neck I have found so many others but only not a ring neck

[@richardcraig8780]

I find them in heavily wooded areas

[@heatherstrigens258]

I have an outdoor ovarium that’s bio active in the large blue like 50 gallon tub and I have a number of very very very small toads from this year in there and I also have as of last night a handful of small green frogs and two small bullfrogs and one medium size bullfrog and I’m debating which ones I should keep and which ones would be the easiest to care for I’m in Wisconsin so I know that for part of the year they’re going to go and hibernate regardless but I’m just Curious cause I’ve been watching you for a long time and even when I had a different KZbin name I was commenting on you couple years ago and I trust you a lot and I was actually going to recommend a video of the idiot dude getting bit by the water moccasin the other day and my first thought when that happened was that would never happen To Noah and I also have been unable to find any garter snakes due to there being so many holes and cut down Shoua I live in central southern Wisconsin and the whole area is marshland that they are building out and they’ve cut down all the reeds and you can see countless snake holes and everything and rodent holes and there’s a spring by my house but the problem is there’s also muskrats and beavers and they dig holes and they are every few feet and then when there’s not those animals there’s groundhogs and they’re digging holes in the land so everything is overgrownAnd the only place I’ve been able to find a garter snake has been at a park that I don’t have access to unless I had a ride and I don’t right now because my car smash even though I have a massive dirty open construction site that stretches like a mile in my backyard that’s overgrown with elephants here it’s so thick that I don’t know how to go in there and find anything so if you could give me some advice on her being very sick areas in particularly less warm areas because Wisconsin as a fact that doesn’t have a lot of snakes they’re just few and far between and I have a bunch of boards and stuff out for flipping but I’m trying to avoid flipping them before fall which for us is like two weeks but everywhere has a whole snake hole that is I am talk to text that’s why it’s kind of funny what I’m saying but I trust you with your knowledge and that you would think that man was an idiot who ran up and grabbed the cottonmouth thinking it was Florida banded after looking at it in the dark for 1.2 seconds as it’s slithered across the road and even through that I can tail and then I bet Adam and missed and had the distinct viper fangs flying around and he still didn’t realize and then it bit him again and then he realized lol idiot
