Why Are There So Many SPECKLED KINGSNAKES?!?!? Final Day of Snake Hunting in Oklahoma

On my way home from my Midwest trip, I decided to spend "an hour or so" hitting a new area on the way in Oklahoma. I was not expecting to find so many snakes.......

2:55 BRO IS THAT A BLACK WIDOW

[@maiasaura.2019]

Ooh good eye, kinda looks like a widow to me too. Might be a false black widow.

[@taipanguts]

I hope it's just a false one, yikes!

[@taipanguts]

The red mark would be on its belly which we can't see, so it's hard to tell

[@ryanbarrett88]

Wtf yeah is

[@jeremybowles5340]

Sure is

[@johnmack5697]

When you flipped the double there was a black widow next to your hand

[@brightoneasterling9304]

thats true

[@brandonblackfyre5783]

Scary big

[@CampElias]

Yeah I love black widows they’re super nice

[@purplecricketthunder3956]

Did anybody else see the black widow under the rock with two milk snakes under it! 🕷😳

2:55

[@loganarkels2023]

I’m scared of snakes but yet I watch this

[@herpdiversity9152]

Hey that is awesome of you. Nothing wrong with some fear if it doesn't impair you or make you kill every snake you see

[@felixmakesart]

Snakes are only scary if you don’t understand them. They’re just another animal that wants to eat, sleep, breed, and be left alone. They don’t have legs because they evolved that way. There’s nothing scary about most of them.

[@4dooky]

Sneks are our friends! 🐍🥰

[@herpdiversity9152]

@@felixmakesart true but I don't blame someone for having some fear

[@rodneya34]

Logan Arkels good for you

[@famtasticfunkybunch4108]

Hey Noah, love your vids man. I hear you getting bummed out about missing the "flip clip". You should try a gopro with the chest harness. Will allow hands free herping my dude. Good luck. Be safe. And thanks for the content. As a Louisiana resident I really loved your Louisiana videos as well.

[@nightmareforfins]

Famtastic Funky Bunch bro I’m from Louisiana as well marrero la

[@Planes_n_trains]

Come to western Oklahoma, find a different variety of snakes.

[@Naptimehyena]

SNEEEEEKKKK!!!

[@Gael32]

Those Kings seem pretty chill.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Wow, and I thought Iowa had some killer red milks. I'm going to have to spend some more time in OK

[@Adventure.Ed.EcoFit]

bro I love your videos, I would love to meet up and do some herping some time. My first love is birds, but I also love herps

[@rickyjordan9184]

I love birds they are so fascinating. I plan to make a field guide on them some time. Cool to find someone with the same fascination.

Thanks for all your inspiration! I live in coastal GA and have a nice piece off woods that my house backs up to. Next time I'm at home depot Im going to start buying tin to start laying out. Ive already seem rat, racers, hognose, canebreak, and cotton mouths in my yard and neighbors yard.

I love snakes, but black widow @2:57 makes my skin crawl....

[@evanholbird700]

Hey

[@electricgamez5415]

I’ve had adult breeding snakes have prolapsed hemipenes but never saw one in the wild. It can take hours for the blood flow to subside and they go back in

[@braydenobrien6357]

We found a Great Plains Rat snake today

[@SauxyDreamzOnxbox]

1st

[@hitzlsperger1]

Nope!

Incredible video like every time !continue your job !

[@deez867]

1 minute ago I'm early!

[@wakefieldwildlife]

"I can't stop finding kingsnakes." That's got to be the worst problem ever

[@unclesam2770]

That is some epic Oklahoma herping.

[@mm93mustwin13]

Do you know why they call them milk snakes?

[@falconmoose1589]

The story is that they are very common around farms in their range where they prey on mice. Dairy farms barns being a good place for mice. To continue with the old wives' tale....it was thought by the misinformed farmers that they sucked milk from dairy cows.

[@mm93mustwin13]

@@falconmoose1589 thanks

[@fish4life-fisher915]

I’m 13th and also nice snakes

[@masterbuilderproductions]

Did anyone else notice the Black Widow that was dangerously close to his hand at 2:57?

[@henryhahn9741]

Lmao that’s exactly what I’m thinking😂

[@jadonchu3712]

very nice video!

Almost in every video you find a milkshake

[@makaylatenney5831]

I have never been this early to any video I have ever watched! Awesome finds.....I’m so happy for you! Gorgeous snakes Noah! 😄

[@mpaulk2023]

I just bought my first speckled kingsnake yesterday (05-13-2020), and am extremely happy to see this video posted next day!!! That’s awesome seeing the variety of patterns in each snake!

[@justinplott1611]

I lost it at the snake popping his junk at you lol

[@joshuaredfield1547]

It's a boy!!!!

[@MrDnble76]

What are you looking for on Google maps?

[@electricgamez5415]

MrDnble76 Look at the terrain he is in. Look for areas that have an abundance of cover.. natural or otherwise.

[@ethangilbert9591]

So I’m in Kansas and I’m trying to find somewhere to herp for milksnakes, how should I go about finding a good location?

[@chetchurchill9524]

Incredible vid Noah! What a hunt!

[@JAdam-xl9fk]

Apparently snakes dont mind being next to a road. Never would have figured.

[@nightmareforfins]

This is weird because litteraly today I caught my first ever KINGSNAKE I have ever seen in my life considering ummm from Louisiana

[@MandoraExplorer242]

Good stuff man, I really wish I would find such cool snakes. They are here in Virginia, but everywhere is private and I have nothing to flip. Enjoy your videos bro, maybe one day we can do a Collaboration.(yeah I know that’s a long shot)

[@walterjimenez6565]

I was herping on my backyard and I only found a woodlouse spider "my favorite spider"

[@none-sb8lt]

Love the videos. If you ever come through Jefferson County MO you should check out my property. Black rat, racers, rattle snakes, hog nose, ring necks, copper heads, garter, snapping turtles, box turtles, various lizards, salamanders, frogs and toads but in 20 + years I have not found a king or milk snake here.

[@bethf1111]

Out herping in Oklahoma, stuck between tornadoes and stormchasers. Good chance one of those stormchasers was also looking for snakes too 😂😂😂

[@baritony8763]

You're lucky to be able to pursue your passion.Not all are.Enjoy your success!

[@HMan52]

What video editor do you use? Keep the vids coming...I really enjoy watching them!

[@dwalker2431]

What county noah were in northern Oklahoma kansas line at some lake.think town hula reserve loaded with copperhead and timber.what country u in

[@wtwolfe]

So many king snakes! Love your videos! Come down to Central Florida and we will put you up and go herping!

[@DoughnutDecrès]

Hey NKF check the railroads for turtles because they are moving

[@someguy4505]

You can kill or injure when you flips rocks. Lift and displace very slowly.

[@joshuahull9982]

Those red milksnakes are tiny compared to our eastern milksnakes in Maryland. Is it normal for them to be that small or does it depend on locality? Also, that black widow was stunning too.

[@jbrad2931]

At 2:58 you also flipped a black widow spider hanging on the bottom of the rock.

[@17DogsInClogs]

I saw a massive kingsnake in Oklahoma today, probably about 7 feet

[@1973crazylegs]

You should make a shirt that says absolutely stunning with a picture of a milk snake on it !! I would buy one from you

[@albertconstantine5432]

Super. Great. Thanks! (Maybe the kingsnakes ate everyone else!)

[@plutoofdeath1013]

Flip flip oo skink oo little scorpion ... you should come to Florida in tallahassee some where look for scorpions i havent seen one yet been here my whole life born and raised .. 0 scorpions

[@jayhayes5924]

to me, speckled king snakes are my absolute favorite.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I wonder if the kingsnake had a prolapse? Poor thing, if so then it will likely die.

[@mk.7_vw_15]

Anyone else see that black widow with the double milk flip

[@Shyzo-ig2vb]

Go up to Middle Bass Island if you want to find snakes and turtles

[@evanfernandez9885]

4:46 nice find, need a chest or head mounted GoPro for these solo adventures!

Love your stuff. Did you even notice the Black Widow at 2:56 in the video? It was amazingly close to the fingers my friend. Glad it didn't give you a little kiss while you were focused on the snakes! Peace.
