      I don't hate heights, its the drop off that scares me. I live in canyon country and its nice, but I stay away from the cliff's edge. But that is because the edge can and will eventually give out suddenly. Its happened a few times before in my lifetime. Thankfully not to me.

      A classmate and I decided to go visit a Buddhist temple in Kurama. It was absolutely gorgeous. Kind of in the middle of nowhere. We got lost making our way down the mountain a different way that we had climbed up. The paths were old, slick stone wet from rains. There was just a thin metal rail going along the edge of the path with a vertical metal pole about every 6 foot or so. I slid on the stones and went over the edge. It was a good 40 foot drop.
      It would have at least hurt really bad, but I slid at a spot where there was a vertical pole and grabbed it right as I was going over the edge. Then my classmate helped pull me back up while I was a sobbing mess.

      If I have any working memory, I believe it's because of the location that the colors can vary so much. What they eat, what's in the water they drink, the predators around them, etc. I know it's a big thing when it comes to color variations in other animals and such, so I would think it applies to snek noodles too? I could be wrong though.

      The anticipation is way worse than the bite. Once you've been bit, it's really not that too bad.

    the first snake i ever came in contact with was a bull snake, our scout troop was host to some state rangers who brought the snake to show up and let us touch it and learn about our native reptiles, it was a very agreeable snake and it really made me more confident and less scared when dealing with reptiles in my life

    Bull snakes are surprisingly adaptable. Here in the Netherlands (very wet, temperate climate) they've managed to establish invasive breeding populations in the dunes up and down the coast. Not a rock in sight, a fair bit colder than much of the more arid climate they're from originally, but I guess they've found a way to make it work! Good on them, though they're very efficient hunters and that's causing all sorts of problems for the local wildlife.

    I have seen both gopher & bullsnakes in our shade trees and on our roof multiple times in Cali, usually just remove them and 'forgets' to mention it to my parents for peace of mind 😅 not surprised they like to climb the natural rock walls, they were so cute tucked into the little caves ❤

    Y'know as much as I love and miss your more frequent herping videos, since you explain a lot, watching a lot of herping-specific channels (highly recommend NFKHerping personally) also makes me feel a little iffy sometimes. Its the same with teasing baby bullsnakes into biting, most responsible herpers avoid making hognoses faint as much as possible, since that's their last line of defense and it means they're EXTREMELY stressed, its just very unhealthy for the animal. Ideally, they shouldnt play dead at all, and a lot of herpers manage to get footage of them just fine without them doing so! So as much as Emily loves hogs it just made me quite uncomfy to see her trying to make that young hognose faint again and again. It's made it harder to watch the hatching videos bc of that too, like. Its a newborn baby, you dont need to stress it into biting you several times :') Still happy about the informative nature of this tho, and I do love how they still do things correctly as in putting the animal back where they found it and handling it with care, etc. Just, I know fainting hogs are cute, but I'm almost sure Emily herself has mentioned its something to avoid over the years in the past, idk why this time it was different :')

    This isn’t directly related to this video, but I wanted to let you guys know that we rehomed our two snakes recently. Unfortunately we had been neglecting them, not intentionally, but we were ill equipped to keep them and with not being financially stable they were lacking in food as well as regular tank cleanings. We found them good homes with people here locally that have experience helping reptiles in these situations. I just want to thank you guy for what you do, and for how well you love your animals. I’m heartbroken by the recent break in at the facility, but I am so proud of the strength and resilience you both display in times of difficulty. Both my husband and I will continue our love of reptiles, and maybe someday when we are stable we can try again. Until then we’ll be herping around Medicine Bow and watching y’all love your animals. Thank you.❤
