Snake Traps, Goldfish And Pollywogs

Snakes in the pond. I am trying to catch a giant water snake that has been hanging out in my fish pond, but manage only to catch in my trap two baby ones.

[@jhenry48809]

Thank you for being compassionate to all creatures.

[@liamellett6322]

I appreciate you not killing the snakes and just relocating them☺️☺️

[@downtonviewer]

Great video, Chigg! We have suicidal possums here. Tons of carrion in the roads. The joke goes: Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the possum it could be done!

[@SpiritBear12]

That just might be the real answer to that question. It's true, Possums do seem to get very confused in the road. Rabbits also do stupid things near the road. They have a whole field or the woods to jump into when a car comes. But what do they always do? Run across the road right in front of the car!

[@cretetippen8741]

Lol my grandpa told me that

[@BadNem909]

suicidal possums 😂😂

[@Daniel-ic5iq]

they are almost hypnotized by the headlights and it attracts them Same with rabbits idk why

[@stovepipe9232]

Hey Beau, use a pillow case for snake transport next time, as they are breathable and can be tied at the opening!

[@beachamboy11]

Much respect to you for not killing them.

[@MizPersnicket]

Also, I love and appreciate how gentle you are with the animals and creatures you find on your adventures. It's really wonderful to see you rescue and release rather than kill like a lot of people would do. I think it would also be really cool if you did a live Periscope or FB video only day!!!

[@TomFromMN]

Love your pond and was nice to see the goldfish. When the bird took flight, it reminded me more of the cormorants that we frequently see in MN. I'm not a big fan of snakes either as we had our share where I grew up. I'm glad that most of us learned to relocate rather than kill. Thanks for another adventure on your property.

[@aquachigger]

Happy to know you enjoyed the video and that it brought back good memories.

[@arcooke]

I like how respectful you are to animals.

[@pondguru]

Wow, for all of your videos I've watched I have never seen your pond - it looks very well naturalized with all those native plants and is supporting a wide range of wildlife by the looks of it. I wish I had snakes around my garden but we live too far North to get them in the UK. Garter snake would probably live up here but they aren't native so I would have to set up some sort of breeding program to get them going. Great video, man.

[@Quagmire88]

Need to put some bluegill and largemouth bass in there.

[@candysantillo3325]

So lovely to see.I enjoyed this do much.But then again,I always do.I even enjoyed seeing the snakes.

[@candysantillo3325]

+Aquachigger that's was supposed to say,SO much .Not ,do much. thank you,again

[@michaelleeper3649]

Your kindness to releasing those snakes is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy this channel based on the kindness and the interesting locations you travel to.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

It makes me happy to watch how you take care of little creatures.

[@peblrox]

That full of dread "Oh God..." towards the end was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh

[@skylars7154]

I really do love how you look at all your comments. You're a great youtuber, I can't wait for the many more adventures.

[@spuddyl9938]

I'm so jealous of your garden and pond.

[@angelaparmeter6148]

What a fabulous pond, I love it.

[@greeneyes1963]

You probably won't see this since it is an older video, but I love your water plants.

[@CodingToFreedom]

Only thing I could think of was how "Snakes, Fish and Pollywogs" would make an awesome band name. On topic: I am really glad I live in Germany where we have almost no snakes, I could never enjoy the rivers otherwise :)

[@CodingToFreedom]

Lovely ending, I love those little buggers. They are much more aware of bicycles strangely, I hardly ever catch a glimpse of any in the road before they spot me and vanish.

[@theaverageredneck8426]

+Aquachigger plz make more plz

[@vinygee1]

thats a really nice pond

[@richardthered]

I love these videos, thanks @Aquachigger

[@larrydennis5826]

Great vid Chigg, even in '21!

[@patscnr]

I am a herpetologist and am happy to see that you don't just kill the snakes! Thank you.

[@dhager1111]

Nice video as always Beau! P.S: This is Drew, so glad you enjoyed everything!

[@calebkelly9169]

Hey hey hey!!!

[@jozsefnyisztor2109]

Are there any Civil War relics in that pond?

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Squirrels make good stew! 😄

[@racerk99]

We really like your pond Beau! We own 5 acres in Florida and are looking to put a pond in on our place in about three or four years. I really like how you have the cat tails and the Lillypad's

[@digginghistory7]

Thats one nice looking pond!

[@angelahertel7202]

a snek! so cute snek...he aint scare of no things

[@charlenehoward6582]

Beautiful pond! I really miss mine.

[@belly_nelly]

You are by far my favorite KZbin!

[@shaunleonard8146]

Lovely Pond!

[@mcgaugh57]

We have lots of flat squirrels around here :(

[@Kirbsster]

Just a "no-like" comment passing through

[@cindysue1198]

Very glad you value animal life.

[@evangibeau4489]

darn, I wish I had that many snakes around here!

[@evangibeau4489]

+Aquachigger Haha! Would you ship 'em up north for me ;)

[@braden8854]

+Aquachigger do you remember last year when you said that all the phones that aren't claimed you will give away? Do you still river treasure hunt?

[@evangibeau4489]

+Aquachigger I'll be there in 7!.... hours! jk lol

[@Hobgoblin1975]

As someone who grew up in the country, you don't , you really don't. Well the poisonus ones anyway.

[@kylecarlisle7207]

+Hobgoblin1975 as a snake breeder and someone who grew up in South Alabama... There are no poisonous snakes in the US... There are only a handful of poisonous ones. The ones native to the US and other surrounding countries are venomous

[@user-hy1fr7hh6o]

Hilarious as usual. I have some snakes around my property but am always happy to see them. More snakes means fewer rodents.

[@tennesseegem1063]

Cool video.

[@yu-jenlee3186]

I love these videos!

[@MizPersnicket]

Omg!! I haven't heard the term polliwog since I was a kid!! I didn't know it was a global term. I grew up on the west coast of Canada in a small town and we used to collect frogs eggs and then release the polliwogs back into the pond after they get legs!

[@NeanderthalJoe]

cool video you have inspired me to start metal detecting around places were ww1 and ww2 battles were fought. thanks keep making cool videos

[@user-lr8ce5xg3b]

Great vid keep up the work!

[@Furballpug]

the baby snakes are so cute!!!!!😵😵😵😵😵😵

[@lemonturds5094]

You live in a really nice place with all that wildlife

[@throngcleaver]

Green backed heron is what we call them here. Fun to watch them hunt for crawdads and tadpoles in my creek. :D

[@footykid9402]

Keep uploading u r like the only you tuber I watch, please keep uploading

[@dylanbabeeemoose1190]

sweet vid chigg

[@DumpsterMarcus]

I am SOOOOO happy to see you re-located the snakes and didn't kill them! I see so many people kill snakes and it makes me upset. I have a snakes as my pets and love them and my daughter loves playing with them also. I ask people why they kill them and they say, they don't like them. Its like me killing cats bc I don't like them. I think its the same thing.

[@oscartv6080]

love your videos man keep it up

[@ronniebprospecting7471]

Nice one

[@SpencerLeBrun]

awesome pond!!;

[@tacticalultimatum]

Gollywogs!!!! *gasps* hehe

[@abeforshort]

Hey you need to come to Lorton VA because there are many BEAUTIFUL creeks with variety of animals

[@th3gr8randini]

Thanks for relocating the snakes. I am a DNR agent and I can say most people would kill them. It seems the more educated people are at Poisionous vs Non Poisonous species keeps people from being as afraid and less likely to kill them. Snakes are a hugely important part of any ecosystem as the help keep rat/mice populations lower. The do however eat frogs, minnows,small birds and other small animals but they also eat insects as well. So anyway thanks for doing the responsible thing. Love your videos.

[@jimbobojim4634]

Blah Blah Blah blah...

[@MiltonTucker]

I hear bird shot is a good way to catch snakes.

[@alcaponesuite3146]

Milton Tucker 😂 lol

[@waylondonovan8648]

Milton Tucker I just made this comment

[@RyanSmith-cm6sm]

Milton Tucker it really works

[@allenfrioux3068]

bird shot will get em every time 😆

[@gamerguy-hc1qd]

I have a squirrel,that I feed peanuts too every day he comes to the front deck of my house and he looks in the window lol

[@brandanarossi2967]

Good vid

[@cparrish0507]

Cute little northern water snakes

[@jimbobojim4634]

I can make any snake into 2 or three snakes.

[@chriswallace7756]

Water bandit. Harmless. They get big. I use to live in south Carolina all over.

[@kadeketolaa6878]

Keep up with the snake vids like to learn about them

[@ZUGSTEINER]

very interesting. we think that snakes are very dangerous. but we find it is good when you take snakes in another lake. so your fishes are save ;) regards from germany ZUG STEINER

[@davec5153]

Looks like some type of Herring bird.

[@SeventhEve]

I know it's a little late, but I thought I'd just pop in to say that bird looked like a Green Heron. Bitterns are brown :)

[@owentrickshots7154]

did mousie make it

[@peblrox]

No

[@Sky8Moon]

you should put the snake in an old pillowcase next time. I think plastic bags make it too hot for them and they can't breath as well. Thanks for being so nice and releasing them off to somewhere else!

[@jacobinfante375]

Sky8Moon no that's bad that's how non native snakes relocate and devastate the area

[@thebeardeddragoncompany3634]

Do you have crayfish in your pond

[@ripquake6970]

Those are Black banded Water Moccasin, the way you can tell is they have black strips that are enclosed in white or yellowish. belly's are normally speckled with black dots. Normal Water Snakes don't have black bands enclosed in white they are normally black and white banned. The newborn Water Moccasin don't have bulky heads like the adults do tho so be careful. Those are also very mean when they have hit adulthood.

[@keithhamilton2386]

awesome video! do a follow up if you catch any biggens! haha

[@daveyuke8]

Nice pond, i would keep the water snakes..

[@robplotts9412]

Nice job with the snakes.i think its cool you have goldfish. pretty inexpensive to restock and you get some cool birds.i guess its like a big bird feeder lol

[@robplotts9412]

***** i never thought about how fast they reproduce.sweet self replenishment! thanks for answerin back i know your a big big star.i love your vids

[@DiggerDawn]

Love your pond... dont love snakes in there... we just get frogs in ours thank goodness!! Twiggys built koi ponds for 25 years if you ever need any tips :-) great vid.. nice to see how kind you are to animals and nature

[@DiggerDawn]

Twiggy said hes never found a snake in a pond in 25 years, its too cold for them up here in the North of the UK :-)

[@nabilafarhan6525]

I never see u go for a fishing hehehe

[@ShadowstarBlackSpindle]

I have a pond and one snake. I named him silent fang cause Everytime I catch a frog he takes it from the red bandana when I turn around. he lets me hold him and pet him, but I did go to the vet and get his fangs removed even though he never bites.

[@ivanvershynin1025]

Using eggs as snake bait works well, because it doesn't attract raccoons, unless they crack.

[@rosscrummey2485]

Cool pound

[@lazaroacosta5280]

bird looked like a tricoloured heron see them here in FL all the time

[@james-im1sj]

I like these kind of videos beau that's one thing that turns me into a big sissy is snakes yuck.....lol

[@n8trsho]

Green Heron. And btw, they eat snakes too.

[@zanderbarr1651]

Those two little drown snakes are water moccasins

[@randlerichardson5826]

Looked like a king fisher to me

[@talongoldfish]

The birds on the edge of the pond is a Tricolored Heron. It is the only dark heron/egret with a white belly.

[@roberttilson6005]

dude your vids r awesome. what do you do with all the river treasure you pick up up?

[@tymesho]

heaven help the goldfish if Mr. Kingfisher decides to show up for Holiday...

[@ExtraWimmerTV]

Chigg reminds me of a sane Trevor Phillips and it bothers me

[@gavinhirt5231]

they make a center extension section for your minnow trap just locks in place works great for bait and snakes. bait the trap but put it on land you will be freakin out lol snakes aint stupid just cold

[@millcityblaze1978]

will the big snake even fir through those small holes to get into the cones?

[@fabiolagonzalez871]

maybe

[@VAHOSS]

good idea with the traps.. I will have to give it a try.. our little pond is infested with snakes

[@VAHOSS]

+Aquachigger awesome... that was a good interview with the Huffington post btw

[@gregsgarage1465]

So true.....I used to use traps to catch minnows in East Texas. One day we pulled up the trap and there were at least half a dozen water moccasins inside the trap!!! Yikes! Great treasure videos by the way! We find Spanish Conquistador items on our property every once in a while. A lot of it was tilled up in the gardens. Conquistador trails criss crossed everywhere in East Texas back in the day. Thanks again for the videos!

[@NaturesAquascapes]

aw those baby snakes are cool as hell! wish we had more non venomous snakes here in the uk, all we have is a grass snake and an adder which is venamous, oh and a slow worm but thats technically a lizard

[@NaturesAquascapes]

+Aquachigger a slow worm that's technically a lizard... totally makes sense!

[@jeffpoff3382]

Snake? Chootem!

[@theaverageredneck8426]

This is cool make more make more

[@aureliusva]

I would bait my traps with eggs as a kid and catch snakes. I never put them in the water though, just near it.

[@UncleJackOnline]

any underwater shoots planned for the pond? That would be interesting with all them goldfish and turtles

[@dustydemons5731]

I LOVE SNAKES god i wish i could have been there oh and we have MANY squirrels but they are not idiots when it comes to cars they run and then watch the cars pass by

[@Rockbadger]

I want to work the local fast moving stream for Glasses, and GoPro cameras. There are plenty of jumping spots the kids use, losing their stuff in the process. My question is which way is the best way to hunt-upstream...or down stream? I have the kayak, and I'm going to build a glass bottom bucket, and maybe make a "grabber pole" In Oregon, where all the creeks are running clear and cold.

[@andrewlowe2728]

Hey

[@nokiot9]

I've heard baiting fish traps with hen eggs that are NOT from the store and still have bird smell on em is real good snake bait. You can't submerge it at all though. And idk how effective it would be on water snakes... But arboreal and land ones it works great.

[@fraxclan4746]

i wish that i could get all those fishes and make my pets in the pond but no snakes

[@grimbotactical2438]

+Auquachigger i admire you compassion. most people around here just murder those poor snakes

[@ThisFish888]

I saw a video recently about trapping snakes, the guy used unwashed eggs, he said the bloom on the egg attracts snakes.

[@SpiritBear12]

Beau, When you have to transport a snake or turtle, try to use an old pillowcase. The animal can breathe through it and they don't get hot inside like trash bags do. I used to have a Burmese python and I would put him in a pillowcase if I had to bring him somewhere. As you know, snakes and turtles are reptiles, they can over heat real fast in plastic. I know you are very kind to animals, so this is just a tip for the next time you may have to relocate a reptile. I don't recommend a pillowcase for weasel or rodent type animals as they can chew through fabric. A Have-a-Heart trap is better for them.

[@rayrevolta6198]

Was that possibly a Green Heron?

[@rayrevolta6198]

i knew it,i got an eye for birds

[@rayrevolta6198]

i'll forgive you this time lol

[@julianmartlnez]

+Aquachigger do you sell them

[@oganarchy3667]

a green heron one time Ran into my house and died and I live in Kansas City.

[@hvonsus5725]

That was... Very pretty male green heron
