Looking for Snakes in the Missouri Ozarks! Scorpion Sting, Jumpy Copperheads, and Fantastic Milks!

[@TheBorderRyker]

“I am feeling good. I’ve got one of my favourite shirts on today and we had a great breakfast!” That is legendary! Therein lies wisdom. 👌🏻😁

[@USM247]

Hope Graham quickly recovered from the scorpion sting. So glad you two had a very reasonable day.

[@fly_speck_cafe]

Loved that collared lizard! Old timers called them mountain boomers. Stay in the Missouri Ozarks long enough, you'll flip the legendary hoop snake.

[@thatoneperson1208]

Welcome to Missouri! :D

[@cnnroutside]

Really pretty Milk Snakes and Collard Lizard!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Banger of a day. Good luck with the scorpion bite

[@goldenhate6649]

Finally visiting my home territory :D

[@jaxonanno1844]

ya

[@darrenwilson157]

Ouch! Bark scorpion. Only seen one in AZ, a few years back. Good looking Milks and that Speckled king (even in shed) was a beauty.

[@vampetz]

I finally found my first snake of the year up here in Maine! A good sized Garter Snake. Looked healthy and strong. So happy to see it, means the rest of the snakes may finally be waking up!

[@MrsHgLamp]

So many mini - snakes

[@kmagnussen1052]

Never get tired of watching the verity of frenzy from copperheads. It is so different from cottonmouths. Got stung in East Texas by a scorpion that was gone before identification. It burned like fire for about 10min then my thumb went numb.

[@sethbrown6938]

Omg! I live very close to there! I’m a big fan as well!

[@TWHerping]

Love to see the milks!!!!

[@casualobserver77]

The western worm snakes take me back... i used to flip em at amidon state park near Fredericktown Missouri Super cool vid noah

[@jenn1234]

Ok, Noah + Graham = many many snakes! Awesome you guys! I loved the speckled king! I hope Graham’s finger is alright…..he took it better than I would have. Keep it up and happy herping!!! 😄💙🐬🐍🐊

[@FireoftheGreeks]

You should set up a meet and greet for the locals (ie Me LOL)

[@dongillette1777]

Exactly! I live between Springfield and Branson would love to meet the guys!

[@Crotalus_cerastes]

5:40…god tier milk rock.

[@chfgypsy]

You two need to carry a bottle of YL purification with you. It reduces sting and any swelling that may occure.

[@stevedoud7112]

tarantula was Aphonopelma hentzi only tarantula native to Missouri

[@BoogfromDajungle]

🔥🔥🔥 always enjoying your videos bro

[@akiriith]

Hope Graham is feeling better after that scorpion! Loved the tons of ringnecks, and the collared lizard was awesome! Also really loved the close up on that final three toed, the pale eyes against the sharp red of the face was almost eerie but at the same time awesome. I know they're less fun than out of shed milks but there's something about them when they're darker but not quite fully blue yet that makes them really pretty to me tho. I guess I like seeing the color variance in milks based on the shed cycle! Glad we got to see a shiny one at the end tho, they are always indeed the best.

[@dutchvelcamp7844]

Ah, those Missouri milksnakes. Gentilis? More chestnut than red. Gorgeous.

[@dutchvelcamp7844]

ah, syspila. Could not remember

[@jj1154_]

Hey I’m a law enforcement park ranger in Missouri and I think a great park to find some Milks and other Snakes would be Taum Sauk State Park. A lot of open rocky glades! Let me know if you are ever in the area!

[@AJLee20070]

Where abouts in the Ozarks are you guys? I live in the Ozarks and regularly go rock flipping! Keep up the videos! Love your content!

[@Isaac-The-Colubrid]

I see tons of three-toed box turtles here in northeast Oklahoma, especially this time of year.

[@theknifeman7097]

Awesome job guys. I used to flip tin many years ago just for fun.

[@jaredgorrell1108]

Ayy I recognize this spot. Fun area. Not saying where to keep it safe though.

[@MsMissa1999]

1:21 was that a tarantula in that hole?? 🕷

[@Fly420]

Excellent presentation! Really good sound control for outdoors, and the insect noise right there should have been estimable. No toads? You had that salamander so there should have been toads. If you find yourself near Springfield, let me introduce you to Alligator snappers, and if we are really lucky, a Painted Softshell Turtle. You don't have Tiger Salamanders on your list either.

[@Floor-inspector]

Hi

[@wildhareonthegulfofmexico3539]

That collard lizard was cool as fck.

[@jordanpotts1389]

Didn’t know we had scorpions in missouri

[@sabine3769]

I had several inside my house and garage. Hate them

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Nice milks and collared lizard. Insane numbers of fossorial snakes, almost like millipedes. Fortunately the bark scorpion sting wasn’t serious. I thought that it would be worse. Buthids have quite painful stings though, no matter the danger level.

[@elibreeze1312]

Big spider at 1:19 you missed, I know it's not a reptile, but still thought is say something lol

[@sabine3769]

Can't find it

[@elibreeze1312]

​@sabine3769 1:19-1:22 there's a hole in between the snakes, and I think it's a spider

[@tkreitler]

I don't know what your record is for most herps in a day but this has to be close. Great video and I look forward to the next one.

[@juliehendrix5892]

Nope to the spider!!!

[@robertking2580]

Any books or websites I can use to find out information on Georgia Wildlife and herpetology stuff? I'm going to Jekyll Island over the summer.

[@premakPapu]

Can you please go to Hawaii and see some rare animals

[@marcelloventuri8898]

And how Is possibile? All this perfect flat rock everywhere

[@JesseG085]

I went from having a strong dislike for snakes to actually considering looking for people that do this in my area because of your videos. I live 20 miles from a lake that's known for having tons of rattlesnakes. Apparently they will get in your kayak/boat if you're not paying attention.

[@wtkuehne]

Have you ever found the elusive Copperheaded RattleMoccasin?

[@jimc6687]

What was that great breakfast?? Who treated??? Jim C.

[@fly_speck_cafe]

Yes. Food can be enjoyed vicariously.

[@sharpvids403]

love ur vids man i literally jus saw a light tan snake in the tree jus got done raining i don’t know what kind it is

[@adamsteinmetz8766]

What happened to the episode ending species count?

[@PaintedTurtle001]

It would be cool to see what all those ring-necks are eating.

[@MtHockey]

Too bad you didn't see any ornate box turtles. Coachwhips are tough to find, but the collared lizard was cool. I miss springtime in MO, my old stomping grounds. It is still snowing in the Montana mountains where I live. Not many herps here.

[@bradsavage9213]

where do you get tin from me and my dad want to put some out but idk where to get it

[@matthewtripp829]

What part of Missouri did you herp at. I grew up in iowa and I got family in missouri

[@TheIndigoEclipse]

There's a big ol spider hiding in a hole next to your ringneck at 1:20. What the heck is it?

[@ChadExploringNature]

was that a trapdoor spider?

[@slowjoy-tq5rb]

any plans going herping on southeast asia? just asking

[@teresaHify]

Noah, How big can a ring neck get?

[@Crotalus_cerastes]

Kansas

[@joshuahull9982]

I just bought a black fat tailed scorpion recently in Maugansville Maryland. They are native to Africa and can kill a human in less than 2 hours. The chances of being stung are very remote because scorpions cannot climb a smooth surface and are very easy to keep contained. If I have to move anything in her terrarium I use tongs. I'm not trying to die a horrible painful death. If scorpions could jump or climb a smooth surface I would never keep them. The tarantula was really awesome. I think that it was Aphonopelma Hentzi.

[@tomdougherty1543]

Is the pain more severe than a yellow jacket sting?

[@swayback7375]

Yellow jacket has a pretty mellow sting if it only hits you once. Often they get people when you disturb their nests, which might have thousands of individuals in it and they’ll happily nail you many times each! That’s a trip to tge ER, hopefully someone will have an epipen on sight! It’s kind of surprising that each type of stinging critter has the potential to feel quite different, I always though most bumblebee strings burn like fire but with wasps it often feeling more like getting shot with a pellet gun at first then feels like pressure along with pain… Indian wasp is the worst stings I’ve had, I’m pretty careful and there’s not much in my area to sting me compared to lots of places

[@thereeceanderson]

100th like

[@tomdougherty1543]

Question-how long does the pain last from that scorpion sting?

[@thetoughunicorn1679]

20 minutes for that type of scorpion

[@cook.nickolas]

Is Grahm your brother?

[@marcelloventuri8898]

You have the chance to capture the Animals Who Sting you and you let that thing go?

[@Lismarie33]

Wear gloves!! Great video, thank you.

[@davidsorensen7438]

Hey Noah are those 3 toed box turtles hard to come by?

[@TitoTitoTitoTito]

Not at all. They can be locally abundant

[@davidsorensen7438]

@@TitoTitoTitoTito thank you
