Messing With Texas: Herping the Lone Star State!

Dave and Jeremy "mess" with Texas! On this episode of Nature In Your Face, we travel to the Lone Star State and visit the Texas towns, of San Antonio, Tilden and Austin, where we road cruise and hike the forested and desert habitats in search of snakes, tortoises, lizards, toads and arachnids! We encounter several "lifers" including the Texas tortoise, Texas horned lizard, western Coachwhip snake, Western rat snake, red-striped ribbon snake, flathead snake, arid land ribbon snake, Texas brown tarantula, striped bark scorpion and a surprise appearance by a nine banded armadillo! Shout out to the Texas rangers for helping us locate some of the rare species featured in this video!

Sweet guys. Wish I was with you for that adventure!

[@NatureInYourFace]

You can make it up by getting us on a SF garter snake this year!

[@loub747]

@@NatureInYourFace that’ll happen

[@SchechterGuides]

You guys have the best lifer dance. I've got to get out to Texas. Nearly everything you found would have been a lifer for me.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Haha we do get a little silly out there, but then again you already know that first hand. Yea Texas was a blast! We need to go back

[@TheWildlifeBrothers]

Lots of awesome finds for what looked like a quick trip, I appreciate that you guys are so knowledgeable about all the wildlife you encounter whether it’s a herp or not. I didn’t know that gulf coast toads have spikes like that, that’s pretty dope looking. My favorite find has to be the Texas tortoise, such an underrated reptile. Good stuff gentlemen!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Thanks bros, we clearly were excited about the tortoises as well haha. We’re always looking to expand our knowledge about wildlife and we definitely prep for every trip with lots of research on what we might find. Obviously we geek out on reptiles but have a great appreciation for all life. Thanks for watching and showing some love in the comments!

[@CheesyCheetah]

Nice herping trip. I was digging the tarantula 👍

[@NatureInYourFace]

We love tarantulas. Always cool to see them in the wild.

[@gabsr3971]

Those ground skinks look so cool

[@NatureInYourFace]

You just like them because they’re short 😃

[@michaelzorro2738]

Thank you for sharing this video it was very informative at age 73...

[@NatureInYourFace]

You’re welcome! It was a fun adventure and we are happy to share our experiences with others. We try to make it informative and entertaining. We do love being out in nature.

[@michaelzorro2738]

Dig the speed limit down there. Although, I've been pulled over a few times. Texas Speed Bump

[@NatureInYourFace]

Haha yea we get pretty goofy out in the field or just in life lol. The tortoises helped make that trip as we were extremely bummed about the indigo, but that just means we have to go back and try again. 👊🏼

[@smetlogik]

@@NatureInYourFace Yep, someone up there messes with herpers. They probably get kickbacks for making us "come back" to certain destinations to find our "targets" from the airlines and gas stations.

[@NatureInYourFace]

All a marketing scheme lol.

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Awesome video guys!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it

[@falconmoose5435]

Great!

[@NatureInYourFace]

We had fun making it! Glad you enjoyed it

[@hardshellherps1996]

Texas speed bump😂

[@NatureInYourFace]

lol pretty accurate unfortunately 😂

[@francus7227]

Tell the truth. Y'all put those tortoises on the road and then acted surprised. Just kidding. Loved the nature flick, AGAIN. I hope my comment and tapping the thumbs up 👍 button feeds the algorithm monsters.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Trust us, we would’ve looked a lot cooler if we faked it 😂. It’s the real excitement that makes you look like an idiot hahaha. Thanks for feeding the algorithm. It’s like little shop of horrors.
