[@duanelavely5481]

Growing up in East Texas, we went herping virtually every day after school. Ran into our share of copperheads, pygmy & eastern rattlesnakes, water moccasins, & coral snakes. One possibility for the idea that water moccasins will chase you might be due to a common situation experienced while fishing. Several times while running a "trout line" on the Brazos River moccasins would swim straight for our boat. The Brazos is pretty wide & I believe that they just wanted to take a break from swimming. They are pretty persistent about wanting to get into or onto your boat but I think that they would be just as persistent if it were a log floating by.

[@gregengel1616]

I'm so glad you said that about the water moccasin. While living in Arkansas , I was constantly telling people that the moccasins can't tell the difference between a boat and say a log. Sometimes it went on deaf ears though.

[@stefaniebell5195]

I live in East Texas too! On my property we have: bull snakes, rat snakes,King snakes, 2 types of rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths. Mainly copperheads and cottonmouths though. My friend found a coral snake at her place in the underside of her kids' ride on toy

6:56 When I was a little kid in the southeast of the united states, I remember going exploring in the wooded area behind my house and accidentally walking up on a water moccasin. It blended in so well with the leaf litter and branches that I would have stepped on it if it hadn't rattled its tail at me. scared me to absolute death lol. I froze up, too afraid to move, and eventually it decided that I wasn't gonna do anything to it, turned around, and left. i know it was only showing it was mad or that it's a scary predator, but honestly, i appreciated the heads up letting me know it was there. if i had stepped on it, i dont think either of us would have had a good time

[@catpoke9557]

This is exactly why they do things like hissing or rattling. They believe you either know they're there already, or are going to hurt them if you don't become aware. So they try to scare you off and say "I'm here, don't come any closer."

[@emmetthowell899]

Growing up next to and exploring the woods in the southeastern us, a snake hissing/rattling has probably saved my life more than a dozen times. It’s best to just show them you aren’t a threat by backing away or not moving and once it realizes it’s not being killed it’ll just make a swift getaway

[@crystalhowison6150]

I’d love to see a series where Emily and Ed road trip around the 48 contiguous states and go herping in all of them. I don’t know how the planning would work out with the facility and the employees though. Edit: maybe they could do it for the channel’s 10 year anniversary or something.

I've definitely seen water moccasins follow people on boats... But not to attack them or anything. More like "oh, what the heck are you, why are you floating around like I am?" It's actually kind of cute. Very curious little boogers, despite scaring the crap out of people.

[@ILuvAyeAye]

Someone above mentioned that a snake in the water might not be able to tell a boat from a log or any debris. They might be looking for a place to rest, essentially, not trying to hurt anyone.

Got my own group of cottonmouths near my house at a creek and they’re very cool and very polite whenever I come across them. I’ve seen the tail buzz thing a few times before and I assume it’s trying to imitate rattlesnakes like our local king snake species do

[@EFergDindrane]

They are proper Southern gentlemen.

[@calrob300]

Many snakes tail rattle to express their anxiety. They're not imitating rattlers. Rather, rattlesnakes take this normal, typical snake behavior and elevate it to a new level. They don't have to depend on dry leaves to make a sound. I've seen it personally with my corns, milk, garters, boa and king.

I’ve lived in the Carolinas my whole life, and I had never heard of crayfish snakes. For some reason, this reminds me of a few years ago when my husband and I rented a villa on Harbor Island (one of the barrier islands off the main SC coast). There’s a lot of marsh land around that way, and the boardwalk leading from our villa to the beach crossed over a good bit of marsh first. About 10 ft away from our villa’s back patio was a sign warning about alligators, and how it’s a crime to feed them. We also had some flyers given to us about the snakes in the area - some venomous, some not, along with information about turtles laying eggs nearby. One day while there, I had asked my husband if he wanted to go walk on the beach. He said, “Maybe at night when it’s cooler.” I immediately said, “Oh, hell no. If some critter is out there on the beach or on the walkway, I need to be able to see it instead of accidentally stepping on it.” Your video here made me think about how you guys would probably enjoy the heck out of herping there. Not sure how the island’s HOA would feel about it (private island limited to renters or homeowners), but I’m sure there’s plenty to see there. Plus, there’s a state park just down the highway on Hunting Island. Further down the highway is Fripp Island, another island that’s private except for renters and homeowners, and part of Forrest Gump was filmed there.

My favorite was the crayfish snake. The gloss on his scales was really pretty.

Corn/rat snake, milk snake and king snake. They are all very good eaters, some might say they are too food motivated. Their eyes are considerably bigger than their stomachs. They think everything is good, including you, and in the case of kings, themselves

I’m a fan of corn snakes for starting out, the babies can be jumpy but if you get a yearling they are calm and you can still watch them grow quite a bit. Plus they come in quite a rainbow of colors!

I’d love for Emily and Ed to go beeping in Canada to raise awareness about our reptiles most people only think we have garters and that’s it but we have it so much

[@commentsforthealgorithm1740]

We, here in Australia, have a similar problem. Keelback snakes (quite harmless and shy, but love to eat an invasive species of toad) look very much the same as eastern Browns(one of the most deadliest snakes in the world. I take the opinion of calling everyone inside, away from any snake. We have lost a "fur" baby to a snake i n the past

This made me smile you guys always make me smile. You guys have helped me so much when it came to my snake. He sadly passed yesterday. We think it's because three years ago when we first got him he came with another snake. That snake died randomly very early on. Then my snake died out of no where two years later. He didn't eat the last meal I gave him should have been a sign because he never refused a meal but didn't think about it. Well we think the first snake had something passed it to him and killed him later on. Well thank you guys so much for helping me care for him and making me smile on my rough days. So thank you for helping me in so many ways.

This video also gave me mad nostalgia vibes for my childhood with the brush, critters, back of the truck through the field, so extra thank you! Always love you guys buy this was extra awesome for me!!!

2:08 - I'm pretty sure that's another little Salamander! Right in the center, under the four leaves. It wiggled back into it's burrow, aww! "Where'd my friend go?" EDIT: Maybe I should go herping (safely), I'm surprised I spotted that!

[@kyleeflorence7986]

Its so fun to watch them enjoy normal southern things that I did as a child like riding in the back of a truck

[@thetimetiddler2821]

Let us know if you ever end up going to a Repticon in South Carolina or somewhere near the area! We would definitely love to see you guys!

[@JinapherShakur]

Ed, "You're such a dork", I love them. Lol ❤

[@crazy4catsRL]

Just wondering if maybe a video could be made of safety tips when herping venomous animals. Thanks! Great video, never heard of crayfish snakes before

[@RachieSama]

I'm from Arkansas and since we only have a few native venomous species out here I've taken great care to educate my friends and family. The hardest is always teaching the difference between the normal broad banded water snake and cottonmouths. People see a big dark snake in the water and just assume all sorts of things.

I’m still waiting for baby videos:’)

[@lindseymummey9452]

Me too

[@Midwest_mama]

Should be anytime 🥰🥰🥰

[@laurenhall215]

I got to go on my first herping trips this summer! I’ve been helping a grad student/my ecology lab instructor collect data on southern 2-lined salamanders found in streams in Atlanta. So if you’re ever in Atlanta and wanna find southern 2-lined salamanders hmu lol
