[@catbirdherping9857]

Really great video! Very much enjoyed the segment on the Scarlet King! You probably get tired of viewers bugging you about wearing sandals, but with Copperheads hiding in all those dead leaves... At least the NC2 thing seems to have gone away...

[@alifeoncechris]

Thanks for all the videos. Really enjoying it while quarantined

[@markhall128]

Great day, please be careful I think it would be a bit safer if you wore some kind of tough leather or snake proof boots. You may put your foot next to the tin a d not know there's a snake there. I'm not putting you down just want you to be safe. My wife like to of lost her leg because of a cotton mouth but to her toes. Love your videos keep them coming. Are there any scarlet ok g snakes in North Carolina?

[@BoydGilbreath]

I have these Scarlet Kingsnakes in my yard. They are very placid. I mulched deep the whole length pf the bed to increase the amount of food for them. There were two, so maybe there can be more. I put in a big mulch pile about twenty five feet by three feet wide and three feet tall. I attracted a lot of lizards and snakes to eat the critters that came to inhabit. Its a protected spot. I didn't have much before that.

[@smetlogik]

SK! Love those things. Waiting for a bit more heat here in AZ, rains have happened. Could get interesting soon.

[@crisprtalk6963]

Spectacular Scarlet King! What a looker!

[@tomdougherty1543]

Another great video, I get to live my herping dreams through your videos. Brings back lots of memories of when I was a youngster. Did you pick up the “hobby” from your dad, or he from you. I try instilling this pursuit in my grandsons, my own sons really had no interest, hopefully theirs do.

[@PwonedFTW]

you deserve to be on like Nat Geo or something XD geesh I learn so much from your videos NFKherping! You guys are the best!!

[@tompeavy8254]

Come on down I-85 toward Auburn. Some good habitat down here, especially Chewacla State Park

[@hunterwommack5014]

I actually found a handful of Webster’s salamanders on top of Kennesaw mountain today! Solid video for sure

[@tiffanybartolotta7691]

Hey I live in rural Southeast Georgia and have plenty of tin you can come turn over......I want to clean up and am scared to find them. Found a racer under some pallets 2 weeks ago.

[@FireoftheGreeks]

1:35 "Rat Snake: harmless" What happened to that knuckle?

[@rickcruz3382]

The ratsnake was hungry!

[@kaidengathings3096]

Still harmless. A little cut and blood never hurt anybody, venom on the other hand...

[@LucaGel23]

Senior Sensi snake saliva is still possibly dangerous. Got sick when I got bit by a coachwhip.

[@panzerkrieg3509]

@@LucaGel23 thats do to an infection, which can happen with any animal bite. That's why is important to clean any wound with an anti bacterial.

[@fatmanvidz]

That last copperhead was right by your hand dude!!

[@jgossert95]

Its a good thing copperheads usually don't strike unless its absolutely necessary. Ive handled them before getting them out of my grandparents basement. I pick them right up and they never even attempt to strike at me

[@MultiJd88]

Would sheets of plywood work as well as tin? I never have any extra tin around but tons of plywood

[@Aquacrystal11]

So fricking jealous that ya'll can herp all year. Finally a nice 70 degree day tomorrow here in MA that i'm actually free to herp. I would be the happiest person on earth if i found a garter tomorrow.

[@tomdougherty1543]

aquacrystal 11 what part of Massachusetts?

[@noopbloop5051]

Ya I'm outa work so I'm forced to catch snakes and chase storms in the evening lol. I'm in western Essex County. Where you guys at? I've seen 2 garters this year so far and 1 was actually in January during that 70 degree day.

[@Aquacrystal11]

ry nic In south eastern Middlesex County. Seen 1 garter this year. In January aswell! How easy is finding snakes for you? My neighbors across the street find dozens of garters each week in their yard, and I’ve only ever found one, which was the one in January.

[@noopbloop5051]

@@Aquacrystal11 what's so different about their yard lol? I have a couple decent spots that almost always yield a handful of sightings given the right time of year and such. One spot has racers, garters, ribbons, milks, waters, ringnecks rarely. Also has occasional blandings turtle. Another spot up the street has a lot of reddish and orange garters and sometimes sorta anerytheistic ones I think (no red or yellow mostly black and white). Also theres Hatold Parker which is loaded with garters if you find the right spot. I'm gonna hit up my spots tomorrow and start taking footage and hopefully start uploading some videos cause there arent too many herping videos for this neck of the woods.

[@Aquacrystal11]

ry nic I really don’t know! They have forests in their backyard so the snakes stick around there. I have a frog pond, and that’s what probably attracted that garter back in Jan. Thank you! Massachusetts herping vids are so rare around here! Turns out I’m not gonna be able to herp today, so I’m really looking forward to those vids! I’m gonna Sub

[@BoydGilbreath]

Man you meet a lot of snakes! I only ever meet my Scarlet Kings and Ringnecks. Rarely I have a racer. Some legless lizards if I'm lucky.

[@azaherping2808]

We have a slower start here in Arizona. Great herping!

[@frankmorlino3659]

so awesome man. waiting for things to ramp up here in south jersey

[@FineSaltGrains]

What city area in Georgia? This probably sounds creepy but I live around that area and was curious if you have any certain places you recommend. I understand if you’d rather not tell me, many people are secretive of their herping spots. Thanks!

[@Mr59J]

It's kinda an unwritten rule that people don't just tell other people their sites, that can go wrong really quickly. I asked him a while back how he finds his spots and he responded saying he uses Google maps to find board lines and what not. Good luck 👍

[@bluelinemorphs]

Once this virus and the weather breaks I’m def going to make videos for channel or me herping!

[@_diecast_chaser_]

Where in Georgia you live? I'm in Rome.

[@herpingitall]

Hey, I'm gonna be on spring break in Savannah next week and wondered if you know any spots to herp

[@SaftonYT]

As soon as I saw the title and thumbnail I figured you were in Georgia. A chill ran down my spine as soon as I saw you were wearing flip-flops and shorts, though. I spent four and a half years in land surveying in the Metro Atlanta region. No shortage of snakes during the Spring and Summer. I was a bit more accepting of them than some of my coworkers, who started reaching for the machete/bush hook the moment anyone mentioned the word "snake".

[@michellestrom6]

Not gonna lie, it scared the shit out of me when that copperhead struck at you Great video!!

[@willd639]

Love your vlog brother! Great stuff

Just found your channel and really enjoying your videos bro!

[@busterdog6320]

Yep i was in bed

[@alberta9733]

I almost fell out of the bed

[@oliverlison]

corageous, walking in sandals. Also when flipping those covers, lift them towards you that your are protected by the cover if a snake tries to jump onto you.

[@carolinacrappies7559]

Nice dude. Keep up the good work.

[@chrispatterson8109]

What part of Georgia do you live in. I live in Georgia to

[@Maxbps88]

Excellent video. Great snakes. I love Copperheads ever since finding two one-year-olds coiled up together in cave on Lake Norris. They are just the most beautiful snakes to me. The Scarlet King is beautiful, too. And I like that you show us other reptiles as well. Thank You. How did the 2nd Copperhead take to being washed? And how did you do it - just pour water on him from your bottle?

[@johncamp7679]

Will a rat snake come back to his location? I seen a shed when I moved in my house in a room where the hot water heater is.

[@vermontvampyre]

If its got food and coverage and a hole to let. It in and out most likely. Unless it finds a different place it likes more.

Get video, I'm here in the central rockies 7500ft watching it snow. Should be in southern KY with my Bro flipping tin, and car hoods we put out last year. Instead checking out yer great vids and jonesing. Any who, evidently you have not been invenomated. Love the Tevas and flipping tin with yer hands. Keep the vids coming. Next warm spell headed down to the front range to go and check some den sites for prairies

[@anthonybowers6024]

A lil caution to you about momma vulture. as I understand it they won't attack you to keep you away from their nests. They'll vomit on you instead. As if that's not bad enough, keep in mind as to what it is they eat.... Also, is it in a Copperheads nature to be so chill? or is it just cold outside?

[@opensourceecon]

I want to be a safer hiker, how did you see that copperhead? What specifically did you look for?

[@JohnWilliams-ow4so]

Black rat snake , tons of them hear in central NC, Wake county, we also were number one county in amerca for copperhead bites a couple years ago might still be but great video i cant wait to go myself going somewhere called neuse river

[@chriscook6360]

So like is their any tips for spotting them I can’t find any copperheads or any snakes hardly is their way too spot them easy?

[@dougantonucci8278]

Great video! BUT are you frickin nuts wearing sandals with copper heads around? No to bright! Lol

[@ecrabbe09]

I love watching your videos and learning BUT why in Gods name are you out “herping” in sandals? Come on your could wear at least tennis shoes, right? Sorry it’s the Mama in me (South Carolina) My favorite place to go outside growing up was the woods, actually it still is. Of course I learned a lot about snakes, crawdads, bugs, not to drink creek water, etc. my Daddy did teach me how to identify the 2 most common venomous snakes in our area. (NC) copperheads and cottonmouths. So being knowledgeable I wasn’t scared of them but was always on the lookout for them. Helped several friends to not get bitten or try and pick up the wrong snake 🙄🙄Gosh great memories!!! Keep up your good work and be careful!

[@elizabethkane6665]

The mom in me was thinking the same thing! Appropriate footwear required!

[@fastactingvenom7]

I wonder if he gets many chigger or tick bites without protection. Not a big problem down here in South Florida, but every time I herp up in AL or GA they find a way to get on me and bite away.

[@garrettarmstrong5044]

In SC I never find any snakes

[@thehoop74]

He does it all the time. I'd at least wear some sort of boot. And flip with gloves or the hook.

[@Blackratsnake]

So the gray rats reside in the western half of Georgia and can be black like the eastern rats, and the eastern rats reside to the east? Is this correct?

[@tallen6085]

This guy is the best herper in the world!

[@1pcmedic]

Lift the metal etc. with the snake stick, and wear boots.....very good snake pics in the video.

Does anyone know if they have scarlet Kings in the Florida panhandle (north Florida)

[@bryanhauschild4376]

Tornado go through there? Is that why there is so much tin laying around ?

[@desimationpatol9011]

they put the tin down to attract snakes and other reptiles the sun warms the tin makes it easier than just walking in the woods

[@cherylvacheresse5640]

What happened to your hand?

[@cashdodson4860]

Don't u hate when you see a really good peice of tin And your hoping there's going to be a king snake But when you flip it there's nothing but ants Is this only my pain?

[@sinfuldebauchery]

Where to buy one of these snakes.

[@GatorLife57]

See I told you before. Use a snake hook to lift up the metal. You could have got tagged by that copperhead !!!! FYI....FYI...

[@crisprtalk6963]

and died.

[@fly_speck_cafe]

And I wish he'd pull the tin back towards him always. Just in case. Can't be too careful

[@NKFherping]

The Simple Life But did I get bit? No. Because they don’t care to bite unless they’re being harassed or think my fingers are food. The tin has a lip that I grab to lift it, as long as I’m not sticking 4 fingers directly under the tin to lift it I’m not in any danger. I do prefer to lift with a hook, but I left my hook in the car while I was flipping that spot because I forgot how much tin there was there.

[@caseytate9997]

That copper head scared me

[@charlesmills6621]

Don't call the rat snake a jerk. He didn't pick you up. Keep up the great videos.

[@tyreserhone740]

Yo I jump so hard when that copper head jump

[@mariemaroney7891]

Wait, wait, are you in “hot” snake territory with flip flops on? I may be a bit old but I have a healthy attitude (I think) towards venomous snakes. Please be careful in Copperhead, Rattler, and Moccasin land...

[@scottclark7592]

I agree-part of the responsibility of a herper- is education- in words and in actions. I love these videos-and that is really my only complaint!

[@mariemaroney7891]

scott clark exactly, young inexperienced reptile enthusiasts watch these videos to learn. It’s something we don’t want them to learn, we have a responsibility to teach them to have a healthy respect for venomous or “hot” ones. Someone wise once said “when you’re dealing with venomous species it’s not a matter of if you’re going to be bitten, it’s when you’re going to be bitten” All hot handlers have been bitten at least once in their life. And if they haven’t?, a healthy attitude is knowing or thinking it’s coming some day. It’s what makes you cautious enough to stay safe.

[@mariemaroney7891]

@Reid.is. Vibin that’s a shame you have such a miserable life and attitude. I feel for ya my man. I hope life gets better for you. Some of that bitterness may go away.

[@glockinshpiel]

It would be so cool to follow behind and see these things in the wild...but I would probably scream or run when I see them.
