Great video really enjoyed it! Hope to get down into that area in a couple years to see some amazing herps!

Nice job on the video!

Good stuff you find a lot of cool critters down there. I wish we had those up here in the Vegas area.

I'm happy you found your target. The loud music was distracting. It'd been better to just have the sounds of you there on the road finding the snakes. Cool video though and kudos to you for including your wife and daughter. Family herping is awesome. ❤

Did you know there are boas living in the wild in Canada? :)

Saw one on my hike tonight but only for seconds before it went down a hole. So cool!

I seen one at work today i work out in the Yuma Desert. My partner was the one that jumped of excitement when we ran Into it. Now im here learning about it.

Awesome content and the editing made it look like a movie thriller

Why in the hell would you pick it up?

Very productive trail. We’ve been in Tucson 4 years now and although we don’t specifically look for snakes we’ve encountered quite a few. We’ve encountered King, gopher, long nose, rattlesnakes, and one thread snake one night on our front porch (must have gotten lost). Have not seen a lyre or night snake yet, or coral snake, but don’t hike trails at night. Fun video. Enjoyed all the different colored diamond backs.

The bird was a Turkey Vulture

Now someone needs to do a genetic study and see if these really are all descended from that single small population that was introduced during the eighties. Maybe they were actually there all along?

Haha! Waiting for warm Herping days in April was killing me! It took for ever. Keep the vids coming.

When did they lump all the milk snakes as one species? I disagree with that designation the AZ milk looks like the Utah milk or what use to be Taylori.

Thought you was Marty Stouffer from Wild America...lol. If you never watched him, listen to him

I got the first edition of that book good luck finding your vine snake I tried for years finding one down near rio Rico I know a lot of people that had success their

I love Arizona!

Wompwomp

Great variety for a “local spot”. I only wish that I had Herping spots remotely close to me in my. Lol

What time of year was this? Early spring? Odd that we have no native Plethodontids in AZ. California has a bunch and AZ out-frogs CA so you wouldn't think the dryness would keep them out. Maybe there's an undiscovered native one somewhere up on the Rim.

Beautiful salamanders! Never knew they was an invasive group in Arizona like that. Thanks for the video.

I knew you would pull it off. Bravo,cheers and congrats. There is nothing like that feeling of finding that extremely difficult target. And the whips make and Sonoran gophers have always been “geek out” snakes for me. Absolutely love em. Way to go Sir. A well deserved accomplishment 👍🏻

Fantastic video. I still have my first golden book from 47 years ago. lol. Amongst many others. Now are these milks considered variations of the Cealonops? The only tri colors that I ever found in Arizona were the more common Pyros in the sky islands. Never ever came across a milk there. I find it amazing having two completely different Lampro tri colors in the same state. And in some areas, quite close to one another in the extreme southeast portion of the state. I’ve must have driven through that habitat dozens of times, heading up to the mountains. I truly hope that you guys find that elusive milk. You seem to be a good group of peeps. My kinda peoples. It’s a bummer finding the DORs but at least you guys have some shot gun evidence of locale. You can explore during the day, even set up cover and look for natural cover. And you now have stretches of road to concentrate on. I’m quite confident that you guys will turn up that live gem. I’m pullin for U. 👍🏻🇺🇸

You guys have an email or do u guys mind chatting about more specific locations, not necessarily u guys saying a place, for potential collectors, but I would like a second opinion about heping in az as I’ve experienced it. Hope something might be possible. Thanks

I've been traveling to Arizona from Seattle regularly since my mother moved there 6 years ago. Found most of the rattlesnake species, gila monsters and many small lizards and snakes i couldn't identify. I'll be ordering that book.

Very interesting survey of AZ rattlesnakes! Thank you.

I used to have a pet ringneck snake. I had it for 15 years. I still have a pet Eastern milksnake who is wild caught but she has adapted very well to captivity and loves to eat her mice. I also have a male albino Nelson's milksnake but I bought him. I have a large female desert rosy boa too who I bought as a baby.

They are all over California. Rosys and Rubbers.

He is pretty.

Digging it ❤

Looks like a great spot! Hoping to find a coral in 2024

When you keep saying “this time of year” - are you referring to the present or is this a compilation of older clips? I’m assuming it’s current since it’s a recent upload and nothing says otherwise, but as a North Carolinian it’s mind boggling that January would be an extraordinarily active snake season. Around here we pretty much don’t expect to see a snake at all from about November to March 😮 I mean, obviously I know it’s significantly warmer there, but I’d still have thought the coldest “relative” time of year would make snake activity lessen.

How far should one stay away from snakes so a snake is not scared. Is it generally 1 meter or 2 meters for example. If a snake is agitated do they need longer distance gap

Great vid

But not those tap poles. They aint gonna make it. 😥

Agreed. We should take some of desert box into captivity and set up s genetically diverse captuve breeding program. A great insurance program

Great shots !!!

I liked the music Volume could have been a notch or two lower Still a good video ❤

How long did it take you to find all these to make the video?

I live in the mountains and snakes are all around you all the time people just rarely see them but they are there.

Music is a bit too much for the content bro

All great info! Sad to see the dead milk😢

Enjoyed this video, love the Arizona habitat clips and of course the herps. Well done!

AWESOME SPOT! GREAT FINDS! NEWSUB FROM IDAHO!

BRUTAL - 2 DOR"- DANG! MISSED IT BY AN HOUR" HATE THAT!!! GREAT VID" NEWSUB IN IDAHO!

Outstanding. I heard a herper once claim many years ago that there were milks in Arizona. This is the first one I have seen on video. Very nice.

How fun, love the finds.

What a beauty!

I've seen them dark really green near alfalfa fields
