We found 80 snakes in 2 hours herping the grass prairie!!

Amazing day of flipping rocks and tins looking for snakes! In a local prairie known for fox snakes, smooth green snakes and a couple species of garters, we ventured out on a beautiful late spring day to see what we could find and we were not disappointed.

Wow what an incredible day. Can't have a better more productive day than that

[@NatureInYourFace]

For sure Greg! It was a crazy day of snake here, there and everywhere haha. Then the next place we herped a week later had 3 snakes 😂

[@naturewithgabe]

Wow, you all crushed it that day. Makes me miss the Chicagoland area. I need to get out and do some prairie herping when I’m back up that way visiting family.

[@NatureInYourFace]

I think people underestimate the herping in the Chicago area. There are a lot of species that live around here. Where did you move to?

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Wow you guys killed it! 80 snakes is crazy!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Yea bro it was a crazy awesome day!

[@smetlogik]

5:19 C'mon. 12 at least!?! Flip of the century right there. 9:29 dig that one. Ridiculous!! 80 snakes in 2 hours have to be a record somewhere. We have a few records in CO of quantity flips in under an hour. Speed herping.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Definitely an insane day of flipping snakes! Yea we were stoked about all the snakes under that piece of concrete as you could tell 🤣

[@kirataulbee8768]

Love the pure excitement you guys show! It was a fun video to watch! I have not ever seen a snake poop; even though it was kinda gross LoL it was also interesting so thanks for including it!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Just two grown children running around playing with snakes while their cloacas explode on them. Glad you enjoyed it!

Finally finished school so now I can catch up on many many videos I missed. I see the channel keeps growing I live in Spain now, which has a lot of wildlife, but so far i havent seen many recently (altho two years ago i saw these large (large compared to in used to) lizards sonewhere in the "cordillera central". When i went to Cameroon i wasn't able to see much of fauna drspite being in the middle of a jungle (altho i saw many cute little lizards in the work place and friends aaw monkeys) If i see cool things in kenya ill inform you all

[@NatureInYourFace]

Wow! That's really awesome that you get to travel and see all of these cool animals! Share your pics on our Nature in Your Face "Facebook" page. I spent a little time in Kenya many years ago. It was amazing. Thanks for supporting our channel, we really appreciate it! -Dave & Jeremy

It's like fishing. It's always fun. Sometimes you catch a lot and it seems more fun. Great clip, guys. I'm tapping the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Fish on! 🎣 or 🐍 on! Thanks again 😀

[@Fozzdaddy12]

I just moved to west suburbs of Chicago. I’m really hoping to find my first smooth green and fox snake this summer, a milk snake eventually!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Where did you move here from?

[@kylesterrariumsandaquarium2394]

Best spot in the area

[@NatureInYourFace]

For sure! Although we do have a killer fox snake spot 😀

[@DEVILDOG1964]

USE TO LOVE CATCHING SNAKES WHEN I WAS A KID NON POISONOUS OF COURSE.

[@MiryaSosume]

I loved catching frogs toads turtles lizards and species of arthropods and annelids

[@NatureInYourFace]

Herping isn't just for young kids. You should get back into the hobby. People don't realize how close they live to areas where they can find snakes and other wildlife. Thanks for commenting DevilDog!

[@DEVILDOG1964]

@@NatureInYourFace GOT GARTER AND MILK SNAKES RIGHT AROUND MY HOUSE!

[@NatureInYourFace]

@@MiryaSosume Same! My family owned a cottage in Michigan when I was a kid. There were so many frogs, toads, turtles and snakes. It's really when I began my appreciation and love for these critters! Thanks for commenting!

[@NatureInYourFace]

@@DEVILDOG1964 You're very fortunate, there's only a few fragmented areas around us where you can find these species anymore. As more and more land is developed, the snakes are disappearing and left with only a handful of tiny preserves to try and survive.
