I love the content you all produce. This video had a few mistakes though - You accidentally said copperhead 2x and forgot to mention a pygmy rattlesnake as the 6th venomous snake in the state. I believe the snake at time stamp 0:44 is not a venomous rattlesnake, but a python or boa - you can tell by the structure and anatomy of the head...and a rattlesnake would also have strongly keeled scales.
Yes, it is a Carpet Python....not a rattlesnake
How are you so well calm to hold these pretty snakes ? You are brave
I miss seeing eastern indigo snakes there awesome used to see them all the time in clyo
Wow your so lucky to have so many snakes & reptiles in America/Georgia. That king snake was jinormous lol. I live in the UK & rescue exotic snakes. I have a king snake (Cali I think) & have had a few always arriving in such bad states. I wish people were better & not so stupid when it comes to these beautiful creatures 🐍💕🐍
I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago where there are no venomous snakes, to north Georgia where they've got six different kinds of them. I'm not worried though. In the five years or so that I've lived here, I've only seen one garter snake and what was probably a water snake.
Just as dangerous as snakes are dogs off leash on the trails.
Last Monday morning around 8AM, my 20 pound Jack Russell terrier (who was on a leash) and I were attacked by a gray pit bull (named Bella who was not on a leash) on the East Palisades Trail at the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta. I thought we were going to die when it happened. It was a large type of pit bull. I had already picked up my dog and was trying to shelter her in my arms, when the pit bull knocked us to the ground and grabbed my dog's foot. The dog was on top of us. The owner was able to pull her off. This is the reason it's against the law to have your dog off leash anywhere - on any trail - even in the water - within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The dog's owner was very sorry. She replied that many people have their dogs off leash here and she suggested this might not be the best place for me to walk my dog. 30 minutes later, we ran into them again and pit bull was still off leash. I later call the Ranger. Nothing he could do since I didn't have any way to identify the owner. He said it is a problem and people seem to think it's OK to have dogs off leash here - and that they share that misinformation on social media. He said he will request that Rangers patrol the area more often. My dog was bitten. Took her to the emergency vet and I think she will be OK. I understand there at not enough Rangers to patrol the area constantly. But more signage might help. There are signs in the parking lot, but you really have to read through them thoroughly to learn that you are not to have dogs off leash.
Was that intentional, showing a boa as a “viper with a triangular head”, and a viper as a “nonvenomous boa”? I mean, I understood the point, but wasn’t sure if that was an actual error, or a way to make people think more. Brainteasers can save people from being bitten maybe!
Obligatory CAT scan
