    Anyone who can call their target species and find it within hours is approaching S tier quickly. I subbed.

    • @NatureInYourFace

      Smet, you're setting your standards too low, S tier requires finding a target species in a half hour or less. It took us at least three hours to get our first tiger. Unless you're grading on the curve, we're closer to the bottom tier, knee deep in doo-doo! But hey, at least we found a few!

    Tiger salamanders are definitely hard to track down at times, it took us many years to find one in the wild and I haven’t seen one since. Nice to see you get such large individuals with full bellies, that’s a good sign for the population in that area. I enjoyed this video as always!

      We were worried that this episode wouldn’t happen because we flipped soooo many logs and still no sallies. But finally boom, we got some healthy tigers! Glad you enjoyed it and we always appreciate your comments bros.

    I never knew they were called chicago garders they just seemed like normal garder snakes to me until i moved to the upper peninsula and noticed they were different looking than what i was used to, I believe the ones here have a orange stripe, mostly see copper bellies up here or at least thats what the locals call them, brown snake with a orange copper color belly.

      @@Coopdeville0624 The snake with the orange belly is a plain belly water snake. They are less aquatic than most other water snakes so you can find them in forested areas as well. The three garters in Illinois are the eastern, also known as the common garter, the plains garter and the Chicago garter. They all have distinguishing features if you know what to look for.

    You're correct you don't really want to handle any amphibian because you could accidentally cross-contaminate with chytrid or other disease by the handling of current pets or other frogs/amphibians you find.

    • @NatureInYourFace
      @NatureInYourFace  6 місяців тому

      Definitely and tiger sallies are known carriers of chytrid and ranavirus. We wash our hands before and after and it’s even a good idea to sanitize your boots.
