    Thank you so much for your content! I'm a huge fisherman, always bushwhacking to get to the creek or river. I used to be so scared of snakes. A little knowledge goes a long way... Out of the many videos I've watched of yours, I am yet to see any of these creatures seek to harm you. They just want to get out go your way. I am now only respectfully intimidated, not scared.

    Great video today. That Coachwhip was extraordinary. The Timber with that amazing set of buttons awesome, and in a herping video for you to say it was a Disney scene with the butterflies congregation made me truly laugh. That single Monarch butterfly was superb as well. Thanks.

    It’s funny that you said something may have peed where the butterflies were. My son and I were talking about that at the beginning of the video. We have a spot where we always pee off of our porch. No grass grows there, but hundreds of butterflies congregate there every day during the warm months.

    Those butterflies are most likely cloudless sulphers and/or little yellows, and grey hairstreaks. They are puddling, which is the practice of gathering mineral rich fluids from damp areas. Damp gravel and dung tend to be favored. Many insects do it but butterflies are the most conspicuous. Great video, love those Timbers!

    I had a box turtle visiting my yard for about 8 9 years. Only like a day or so a year early in the year. He was a nice big really dark orange and some yellow a big old turtle. But this year no show unless I just missed him. Here in Indiana we have lost a lot of habitat to crop fields and just herbicides etc.. nothing like when i was a kid lot of things are just few and far between.

    My dad would tell me stories of black snake hunters, hunting snakes for restaurants back in the 1950s. They would gather up quite a few. I am not sure what species they were hunting. Maybe coach whip snakes? I am surprised there are no repopulation programs. I don’t know that I ever saw one as a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s. Glad there are some still around.

    Noah, butterflies are drawn to urine. In the case of your butterfly clips, looks like a very broad area of urine. LOL. They call it "puddling" when butterflies congregate on the ground, but when there's no puddle, it's gotta be urine. I relieved myself on a trail once, and on the way back out, lots of butterflies were already on the spot. Were there cows on that property?

    Butterflies eat poop and pee? Say it ain't so. It it just me, or can garter snakes haul ass in an almost supernatural way? They barely move from side to side, yet they shoot through the grass or dirt in a way that other snakes don't. Watching a Copperhead or a hognose move across the ground vs a garter snake... very different.

    I always tear down the morning glory vines on my fence when they die every fall and pile them in the corner of my backyard for my pet box turtles to hibernate under. I did it the other day and got a decent pile. Now everyone is already moving until the pile and digging into the ground underneath the pile. I suspect I won't be seeing my pets too many more times until spring comes again.

    “They may be beautiful, but beware! These butterflies are ‘puddling,’ which is when butterflies or moths feed on the salts and minerals found in mud puddles, urine, scat, and sometimes carrion,”. Found this on google!

    I don't understand why some people try to keep coachwhips and racers as pets. They always seem to do horrible in captivity and end up dying. They are too hyper and nervous to be pets and they always end up rubbing their noses open against glass or screen lids. I understand that a lot of people like to keep pet snakes and even I have some pet snakes but people need to stick with species that do well and thrive in captivity and leave the species alone that don't do well in captivity.

      It is doable, but it needs a very different approach compared to the average snake in captivity. They need much more space and lighting. Almost like a snake lizard hybrid. In short, they are unsuitable for most people.
