Thank you very much for the useful information. I wish there were more videos like this. People are merciless to animals, often because of common myths.

Don't forget to smash that like button everyone

Always wanted to see an Indigo in the wild. Don’t guess I ever have or ever will. Plenty of rattlesnakes and cottonmouths around here but no Indigos.

Thanks this is very helpful

Good doc, I wish you touched on how important these Timbers are from spreading disease like lyme disease and rocky mnt spotted fever from tick bites, these snakes eats thousands of rodents a year which carry these disease born ticks, the timbers digest and kills thousands of these ticks from the rodents, without these snakes diseases would spread.

This is cool! I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these data loggers to monitor a vernal pool as a community science volunteer with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies. The pools up here support wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and sometimes Jefferson or blue-spotted salamanders. And a few of them contain fairy shrimp.

Very pleased to see this research project being started. I've been concerned about the conservation of these salamanders since encountering them 40 years ago as a zoology student at UF.

Massasauga in PA? Where I live, we have all the poisonous snakes in the US except for the western varieties of rattlers. People 'round these parts murder any snake they come in contact with, but I do not. I leave them alone. Most of the time, the copperheads and cane breaks (timber rattlers) are just moving on. I do not longer have a surplus of squirrels and chipmunks. Just hafta be wary that rattlers, cotton mouth, corals and timbers could be in the yard at any time. I don't keep chickens, so no worries with foxes in the yard, or coyotes, either. These guys also take care of the rodent populations. I do, however, have to keep an eye out for my Chihuahuas who do not get let out on their own. A big red tail hawk could pick one of them up, lol. 'Tis true.

I have a healthy respect for snakee, but spiders are a no go

nice

This was very well done

they are so beautiful

wonderful documentary! but why use an AI program to generate 'historical' images? very disingenuous

I just found the Orianne Society and these awesome videos, especially these field notebook updates from Ben Stegenga. I was in heaven watching them, appreciate them so much, thank you, Ben! I am in awe of all the work you do and commitment to this project to get to the fun highlights that you show us in the videos. Thank you for the extra work you go to in making and uploading these videos on TOP of the work of monitoring itself!

Excellent production! I've had the opportunity to find many, many rattlesnakes throughout my life in places like Arizona, Florida and the Northeast. The timber rattlesnakes of the Northeast seem to be, by far, the least agitated when encountered. Sometimes, they seem almost docile when encountered on a trail.

I've l8ved snakes since I was a kid. Beautiful creatures. World is more fun with them around.

A couple things I wanted to share based on an encounter with a timber rattlesnake. 1) They're very nonaggressive, almost to a fault. You can accidentally get way too close before they'll even start to rattle. They seem to strongly prefer lying still until the last second. 2) Their rattle is well depicted here (ua-cam.com/video/sa-oOSUFfBs/v-deo.html). It sounds quite different from the western diamondbacks you hear in the movies. It's fast and high-pitched, almost like a cicada. I didn't even realize what it was when I first heard it.

“Snakes don’t hibernate to stay warm, they hibernate so they don’t freeze, and there’s a big difference…” No, no there isn’t. They want to stay warm enough they don’t freeze, it’s not complicated.

I think i saw footage of copperheads four times in this video.

Beautiful video - thanks so much.

Biblical accounts are not fantasies.

Good video, but you lost the plot when you were pretending people's fear of rattlesnakes is somehow inspired by indiana jones and mythology. They fear rattlesnakes because they're realistically the most dangerous animal you'll encounter in the woods for the vast majority of the Appalachian range. Thousands of people get by bit by rattlesnakes each year and they can be fatal without medical treatment. They're a dangerous wild animal and getting bit by one cause you stepped over a log is going to be a super bad day, regardless of folkstories about hoop snakes.

I like warm season fires. Thank you

I wish there were dragonfly nymphs in the vernal pool. cool creatures

Great job Orianne! 🐍

how come the fire is less common now than it would have been in a natural setting? is it a local effect of climate change, or something to do with man-made fragmentation? thanks for the film! cool infos

I love running into Rattlesnakes here in the mountains of PA. They've really made a comeback here. I see several a year now and always stop if I see them in the road to make sure they move and won't get run over. I've moved several back into the woods that have showed up in my parent's yard over the last few years. They are beautiful highly misunderstood creatures. I always try to help people see the beauty in them and help them understand how important they are. Thank you for this great video!

There's a small mammal making a hot-footed escape at (4:17). Hope he made it out alright. It would seem these smaller controlled burns would be easier on the wildlife than a superheated wall of natural fire would be.

I wish new hampshire would do more to bring the timber rattlesnake population back thanks for an awesome video

Stay safe! hope no one is harmed!!!

We need rain southern brevard

How exactly do people trace their ancestors to an area without records?

Disappointed that they used an AI generator, Midjourney, instead of actual historical photos.

A lot of people don’t like them cause they SUCK.

19:40 Did you just compare a bald eagle to a venomous snake? 😂🤣😂 You can’t make this 💩 up.

Losing the chestnut tree is sad and devastating. Losing these venomous hell creatures that will financially break you if you have a bad encounter would be a reason to rejoice. We have plenty of non-venomous ones that can eat the 🐁.

You’re weak for canceling opposing views by erasing comments.

They have been reinstating rattle snakes in southern ohio for yrs now. IF YOU HURT ONE..ITS A $5000 FINE AN JAIL TIME..thats a good thing..

Excellent, educational video!!

Really well done, bravo Orianne Society!

Good morning, what brand and model are you using in the video? Thank you

I wish more people understood the importance of wildfire management.

Great video, I'll share it with my scouts in the merit badge classes I teach.

There good meat and make a nice looking belt.

The only issue is when groups that are educated beyond their intelligence think its a great idea to reintroduce poisonous snakes into a public park that is frequented by children. Everyone loves the snakes until one puts your 5 year old in the hospital.

Very good I like your channel

Very interesting. Very well done. I live too far south in Florida, so we have Timber Rattlers. I used to occasionally eat diamondbacks, but I learned not to kill them decades ago. I don't kill any animal anymore unless it's a problem invasive species. Even then, I don't hunt them.

Been all over the Carolina’s my whole life and never seen a rattlesnake

In Tennessee the Tennessee wildlife resources workers will even kill them lol

Timber Rattlers belong on a dinner plate with taters on the side.
