    For some reason its strangely satisfying to me when you show the release of whatever animal you have in your hand -- I love to watch them disappear into the leaves or water or rock crevice, etc. Love that you're educating the masses

    You should check the rocks for green salamander hibernaculum. I found one at DeSoto St. Pk, AL. Ca 20 yrs ago. 15 greens in one crevice. All size classes. It was Feb 2001 or 02.

    We had a beaver pond on the property where I grew up in East Texas. My mother notably asked for a 100 yd of chicken wire to encircle her beautiful trees trees around the pond for her 15th wedding anniversary. We lost some massive specimens to beavers, but it was hard to hate them. They were so completely adorable.

    Hey Noah..is the yellow coloring on the underside of the ringneck the only color they come in? Very pretty snake nonetheless..I kinda prefer the other water snake (especially wet).. very cool. The brown snake was very cool as well..I guess "color phases" of snakes was on point in this adventure..I'm digging the chunky monkey marbled salamander as well 👍

    • @NKFherping

    There is a common myth that Cottonmouths can be found in the extreme North Georgia waterways. In Georgia, the northern part of their habitat is generally south of I-20. This myth gets perpetuated by the fact there are some harmless water snakes that can mimic the Cottonmouth. The only time I have spotted one north of I 20 was in the "hooch" just south of the Buford dam. I also have reason to believe this snake was placed there just so somebody could prove a bet! The Atlanta metro area is at the tip of their habitat, be careful in those waters!

    • @NKFherping
      @NKFherping  2 роки тому

      Cottonmouths are actually quite common in parts of far North Georgia, even in montane regions. Mostly in the Northwestern corner of the state.

      @@NKFherping You are out maybe 1000X more than I am so I will defer to your knowledge. All I can go by is what I have seen while out. With the exception of that snake in the "hooch" I spoke of, I have never seen one of these creatures in north Georgia. I have been bitten two times by Timbers. On my right arm in 1974 and again on my left buttock in 1977. The one in 1974 almost killed me. I know "why so high on my body?" The one in 1974 I was reaching for one and did not notice its partner about 18 inches away. It was about 2AM in the morning. the one on my butt was because a snake was up on top of a cutoff stump and I did not see it in time. I no longer handle wildlife. I lost a good friend about 25 years ago after he was bitten by a Southern Pacific. I have heard this snake as a percentage of bites has the highest that results in death.

    I can not stand it when old people assume that if you’re under 25 you must be up to no good! I hated when people did that to me when I was that young and I hate it now when people do it to my 22 year old. He has a Karen in the apartment beneath him who swears that there are girls in their apartment and all kinds of xxx things going on up there. What she doesn’t know is that they are all seminary students and the girls are in the other building. Their Pastor lives as close to their apartment as she does and knows what does and does not go on. Mostly its just Halo.
    You’d have to know these kids. Perfect no but there are certainly no orgies going on up in the seminary dorm apartment. Lol
    Can people like that Karen not remember being young? Or is it that they can and they were that bad so they assume everyone else is too? I don’t know but at around 20-ish I was married and we just went to eat at Waffle House at midnight and played with our dogs after work. Nothing exciting for sure. We did get our nephew and take him to those indoor playgrounds they used to have and pretend to be his parents so that we could play on the equipment. That was fun… lol. You live a more exciting life that we ever have! LOL
