If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

WOW....not one, but TWO beautiful snakes....the eyes on the rattler are mesmerizing!

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

I know, that bicoloring is crazy!

[@GhiSdaer]

Thanks for keeping up with the new generation. I love the old videos from others. But it's old school and I remember watching old videos watching others fall asleep in class. 😂😂😂❤

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Haha glad you are enjoying my content!

[@lifeunderfoot4805]

Great video! I really love that your handling of snakes is always calm and gentle - never unnecessarily sensational. Solid information and top notch filmography too - well done 👍

[@TheWildlifeBrothers]

The Carolina pygmy rattlesnake is probably my favorite snake that I’ve seen this year, and it’s so cool to me how many you’ve been able to find! That corn snake was stunning too, you did very well given the conditions of that area. Great work!

[@tkreitler]

I just found your channel a couple days ago and have been enjoying learning a thing or two about the snakes in our area. I live in Greensboro.

[@raterus]

I live on the southern NC coast, in the woods, and love your videos as they hit home as to what I can expect to find in my backyard. I hope I can find a corn snake like that someday!

I saw a juvenile corn snake in Raleigh last fall. I was walking the Walnut Creek Trail. They are so beautiful!

[@listenerofnature7899]

What a great video! Beautiful snakes!

Thank you very much!

[@rickynorris1694]

Thanks for another awesome video. It was very enjoyable.

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@smetlogik]

All I have to say is Carolina makes the best pygs, kinda like if you want BBQ sauce, you go to KC. Nice looking corn to start the video though.

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Haha I agree. And yeah that was a really good looking corn, probably the nicest wild individual I've seen!

[@annjones3672]

Always enjoy your videos. So informative. I have learned a lot about snakes although I don't really care for them.

[@abosworth]

Nice job on the video guys. Very cool. How venomous is the Pygmy Rattler?

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Thanks Adam! They are the second least venomous snake in the state behind the copperhead.

[@stevencartlidge6574]

Great video Ben. I wish we had those colorful rat snakes in north louisiana. But I'll have to settle for the black rat snake (chicken snakes... lol)

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Just head a little West and you can get Texas rats which are really pretty!
