RECORD BREAKING Day of Pygmy Rattlesnakes! PLUS finding a Brooks Kingsnake! Herping Florida

[@OchoVerde]

Wow 7! I just got back from a trip to the Christmas, Florida area near Winter Park. I found 7 snakes on day1 (including 4 Pygmys in 15 minutes), 0 snakes on day 2 and 3. I was a bit limited on my hours 10a-3pm as I herped solo due to my wife's work in Winter Park. The weather was great....cool and windy. Not sure where all the snakes went. I was probably a month late. Great video!

If it was cool and windy in the daytime, the snakes probably weren't moving around much, or keeping under cover. As always, thanks for commenting!

Awesome video!

Without disclosing the location, what area of Florida ?? *Super cool King!*

[@wakefieldwildlife]

South

[@Roylevis]

Arizona Mountaing king was my #1 king, but i think it just got a contender for the first place... daum. Those pygmys gotta watch their tails with that thing around

I'm catching up on all your content, and man is your stuff great! This video was awesome, always fun to see a collab, especially with Eli, such a great guy! (And his brother Luke is awesome too!) Evan and I are heading to Southern Florida in May, so this video gets me really excited to herp down there again. If you ever want to hit the woods together sometime, it would be our honor! And of course if you ever find yourself in the PA/NJ/MD area again, we're always keen to meet up! Cheers Daniel! - Harrison

Thanks so much for the comment! Hit me up when you are headed down and I'll see what I can do 👍

[@TheWildlifeBrothers]

Will do! We’re going to be down some time in early to mid May.

That brooks king was stunning! Your videos are always amazing quality, what kind of camera do you use for filming?

[@wakefieldwildlife]

Thanks so much! I film the vlogs mostly with my phone, but I use a Canon Vixia HF G50 for the closeup footage

[@eliwild1]

What a fantastic day! So many cool species and such great company! I can't wait to get back out there with you and find an Eastern Diamondback rattler!

[@wakefieldwildlife]

Let's do it!

Someone watching this who can't seem to find a pygmy down there is pulling their hair out right now. 😂 What a sweet looking Brooks, nice. EliWild legit outro.

[@wakefieldwildlife]

Yeah, I couldn't believe how many we were seeing. It was pretty warm out, but they were all out hunting I guess

[@smetlogik]
