I was on the bank of a stock tank in west Texas early one morning when I saw a western coachwhip swim across the tank and come up the bank and straight up to me. I just stood there and it came right up to my shoe, and then pulled back and did the periscope thing they do and looked me right in the eye. It must have been easily seven feet long, and we looked at each other for it seemed like forever. Then it just went around me and went on hunting. It must have been freshly shed, because I've never seen another one that pretty, with that much green color. One of the most magnificent snakes I have ever encountered.
I took a solid white coach whip away from some senior and junior boys at my high school In Sidney, Texas when they were threatening to kill it. I guess they didn't expect a girl to run to the rescue but I did. I released it away from those guys. That snake was the the most beautiful silvery white i have ever seen. I hope it made many beautiful babies!
One day hopefully I can find a coachwhip too they are so awesome and watching them fly away at the speed of light is just incredible awesome videos man keep up the great work
I just caught a small coachwhip in my yard in middle georgia. I didnt kill it because I could tell it was non venomous but didn't know what it was. Im super stoked to finally figure out what it was. Just started on your channel today and you've earned a new subscriber.
Noah, you out did yourself on this one. I love watching your videos with my seven year old daughter. We have been out flipping the last two weekends, and they have been very productive. We have found; 7 gartersnakes, 1 wormsnake, 3 eastern milksnakes, 2 northern black racers, 4 DeKays snakes, 1smooth green snake, 1 northern copperhead, and 2 black rat snakes. Such great bonding. We both find snakes to be awesome creatures. Thank you for educating people on how awesome these creatures are.
I'm newer to you. Your channel, but I'll be honest the amount of love and passion that was emitting from you with that coachwhip was awesome to watch. That energy you were giving off had me pumped with you..and the fact that I've never seen one before outside of pictures. So seeing one moving and stuff was sick! Great stuff thank you for sharing!
Your videos are so peaceful to watch and I'm not at all interested in snakes nor would you ever catch me dead out in the places you be walking, but yet here I am watching your videos every morning (new subscriber) with my coffee learning about snakes.
Excited about visiting my daughter this summer in East point Georgia (from Staten Island New York) ...looking forward to seeing snakes we dont have up here. Great vids, keep up the good work.
Noah's right.........that beauty of a Coachwhip rivals any other snake he's presented on his site..........even the ones in the Texas series. Eastern Indigos though still rock the world at least here in the States. Both snakes just ooze coolness and intelligence along with elegant beauty!! Jim C.
That coachwhip was beautiful. Only saw them in pictures. Everything I read about them said they were fast and ornery. The Tantilla is reminiscent of a Diadophis.
A fine video. Masticophis have always been my favorite genus. Contrary to their reputation, I have found most individuals of most of the flagellum subspecies to be very docile and favorably responsive to gentle handling; nothing like most of the Colubers. Their responsiveness and curiosity make them excellent educational PR animals.
I used to train people to handle venomous snakes by using a coach whip...Good snake to use as they are fast like cobras and mambas and like you said very intelligent....Beautiful one you found!
I love living in Georgia Now. I've found a few rat snakes so far. Back home (sardinia) we only have like 2 snakes and you hardly ever see them. Our Sardinian brook salamander is probably my favourite though. And the hedgehogs😁 also that's really cool that you can share herping with your father
Sweet kings, love those dark cwhips. Not a single king found here in AZ by us this yr. Drought is slapping us. Good to see you out with your dad. Here's how my convo went recently. Me: "Dude, we could test our herping skills in AZ with this drought" Nick: "Later. I'm going to Mexico for a month"
I'd love to go on a herping expedition with you if you're ever back in Bama. I love snakes and would have a blast helping you find them. Lunch and dinner would be on me as well. Thanks, Jay
3:24 i have seen many kingsnakes through the years..i have caught 2 or 3 four or five footers...but i have never seen one this small..smallest i have come across was about 18 inches probably
I didn’t expect a coachwhip. It seems very difficult to find in all the areas it exists. It reminds me of the Montpelier snakes we have in Europe. Both are active, impressive, regal snakes.
5:50 so believe it or not I just started herping for the first time ever a month ago and I have been finding so many awesome things I had no idea that were in the Tennessee and Georgia forests! But I was curious to see how that garter snake reacted to you. I found one for the first time in my life and from watching your old videos I new the garter snake was “harmless”. But that snake turned on me while I was holding it and just chomped into my hand! I wouldn’t have tried to pick yours up, that thing was popping off with this strikes 😂
Dude come to southeast Texas we have tons of coachwhips here.I used to work at a golf course in Mont Belvieu Texas and coachwhips were the most common snake I’d see there
@@Kyenta well I've had mine for a little over a year and it's two currently, he hasn't been real bitey with me but I try to handle him a couple of times a week they get real flighty sometimes when you first handle them but it isn't too bad. Some people say they have problems eating mice but mine readily takes them
I live in ala yesterday i had a black or dark colored snake about 3 foot long and it had a green and yellow color under its bottom jaw do you know what kind of snake that was?
@@NKFherping Thanks. Eastern coachwhips have to be one of my favourite colubrids in the US. I’m so surprised you filmed in situ video for so long though, I would have been so scared of not being able to pounce and losing it while filming. I’m glad you did because that shot was very very cool.
I was camping and my dad said he found a snake I came running and it was a racer my brother asked me why is it called a racer and I poked it with a stick and it slithered off and he said “ oh” lol 😂
IF you wish to and want to Direct message me, I would love to know how to make my small 5 acre farm more snake-friendly. There used to be stuff here, but with all the surrounding development and clearcutting, I am not even finding isopod/pill bugs any more. Wish you could do a small herping trip around my property, see what i can do to offer safe haven. I back up to a river, but even so, seen nothing the last 2 years except the 5-lined skinks near the house, and a box turtle. I should turn this place into a sanctuary for whatever is left.
Lol ur like, yes I found a coachwhip... I'm over here thinking, can I plz find something other than a coachwhip... they r all over where I live seems like 80% of my finds r coachwhips
Wow that coachwhip was insane. I have a whole new respect for them now. Really cool.

Awesome
Beautiful Coachwhip..by far one of my favorites...such a handsome snake..to me their intelligence is mind blowing
That Coachwhip is stunning, what a beautiful fella, and incredibly intelligent to boot!

Your both pretty fortunate it sounds like 🥰
Love watching and learning
I do this to. Its so much fun and i enjoy watching you do this tradition to much ❤
One day hopefully I can find a coachwhip too they are so awesome and watching them fly away at the speed of light is just incredible awesome videos man keep up the great work
The heads look very odd, and they act similar to like a mamba or a cobra.
@Andrew Lopez I hope you find one, too. They are insanely intelligent and fast. Still cool to see them in the wild.
They really are some beautiful snakes I've found some really large rat snakes and some other really cool species but nothing like a coachwhip
The coachwhip's behavior reminds me of a cobra...awesome catch man
The coachwhips i find play dead, its really strange cuz I had no idea that they do that
Yes, I had the same thought!

"i think youre handsome"
snake: "and i took that personally"
The coachwhip was so cool!
The Coachwhip is awesome. Always enjoy watching 👌
The coachwhip are so stunning and majestic.

Coachwhips are unreal snakes, they are extremely fast and almost uncatchable. I’m amazed you caught him.
As long as there's not a tree to go up or a hole to go down u can catch them! If I can catch them pretty much anybody should b able to
That was a really cool video and cool Coachwhip snake😎😎🔥🔥💪💪👍👍💪💪
“I dont know if they like that or not but i like doing it” 😂
Wow
I used to train people to handle venomous snakes by using a coach whip...Good snake to use as they are fast like cobras and mambas and like you said very intelligent....Beautiful one you found!
GoPro has a "Looping" setting that allows you to record only the last 5 minutes...it really saves on SD space. You need a few extra batteries.
That is the coolest and most beautiful snake I have ever seen coach whip is now one of my favorite snakes thank you for that
The coachwhip's scales are awesome
Beautiful coachwhip awesome vid
We meet again lol
@@e-reptiledysfunction2243 good to see ya
Awesome job!!
Awesome video. The coach whip was awesome. It's mannerisms remind me of a black mamba. Obviously not similar in danger, but just what I noticed.
There are some venomous (dangerous) colubrids...
Love the Coachwhip.
Omg those coachwhips are FAST!

I’m sure that coachwhip was reading your mind.great video chaps✌️
Good to see Nasticophis get due respect. Not warm and cuddly, but like you say, awesome!
I could have sworn I saw your Subaru pulled off I20 near Ranburne, AL around the time you got this footage.
Found my first couch whip the other day. Supercool one about the same size as that one. Ozark mountain region southern Missouri

Have always found the babies to be amazingly personable.. don’t very often find bigger ones
@@Kyenta that makes me sad. I want to hold a big one and it be nice lol
@@Talonfrank1 m’sure you’ll meet one some day :) no rush
Some garters really put on a show that would bluff most folks off
@@swayback7375 right, all the arching and coiling up for a strike pose lol
Dude come to southeast Texas we have tons of coachwhips here.I used to work at a golf course in Mont Belvieu Texas and coachwhips were the most common snake I’d see there
Eastern NM here, I find coachwhips far more than any other snake
The whole coachwhip segment was giving me so much anxiety lol
I am not sure, but I get the impression that you like Coachwhips.
Just love the snakes down there.
I would like if you show the scintific names of each species pls, good videos
wow, you are so brave
That's cool your herpin with your dad!
Great video. Thanks 👍🙂
Are Eastern Coachwhips more common in Florida? I've seen one juvenile where I live but that's it.
Those snakes are pretty elusive but i have seen them around Jonathan Dickinson State Park...
i love that he says "what a handsome little guy"
Sits up like a mamba. Damn it is quick.
Coachwhip was bad ass bro!!
Please try and herp Rubes Creek in GA it is amazing!
You know you were playing in poison ivy when you found that red sally! ITCHY....
Awesome awesome awesome!.
I Love Coachwhips!
I have a captive bred western coachwhip and they really do look you in the eyes all the time lol
So curious what your experience has been keeping a coachwhip snake? Can’t do it right now but would love to have one some day.

@@evanwright3443 thats good to hear :) thank you
Is this Bear Creek? That rock pile looks familiar.
Ice caught a lot of snakes but never been bit. Does it hurt getting bit?
I would love to catch a coachwhip one of these days
When lockdown stops could you come to australia? Thanks
enjoyed ur video dude
You said 5 feet long,c thought that cosch whip looked like about 8 feet from the camera angle haha
I live in ala yesterday i had a black or dark colored snake about 3 foot long and it had a green and yellow color under its bottom jaw do you know what kind of snake that was?
That was the Moto Moto of Red Salamanders
Do we have worm snakes in South East Georgia? Brunswick, GA area?
If you don’t mind me asking what do you do for a living
Ain't it obvious? He herps.
@@kaasurai220 lol
ok good find thats bad ass no bullshit cool
Does Tennessee have worm snakes?
Nice vid
1:54 HES SO CHUBBY I WANT IT
Awesome find. What area do you live in ?. Not asking for your address.
What snake would win in a race - coachwhip or racer??
What's the title of the video where you previously found a coachwhip in north GA?

@@NKFherping Thanks. Eastern coachwhips have to be one of my favourite colubrids in the US. I’m so surprised you filmed in situ video for so long though, I would have been so scared of not being able to pounce and losing it while filming. I’m glad you did because that shot was very very cool.
What part of north al was you in?
What towns were yall near?
I was camping and my dad said he found a snake I came running and it was a racer my brother asked me why is it called a racer and I poked it with a stick and it slithered off and he said “ oh” lol 😂
Bro please tell us how to find good flipping sites, it’s like every video is set in a perfect area

What do the animals eat
My hometown
Now that’s beautiful
What county in North Bama?
I forgot, Quick question, Do you like Coachwhip snakes?
U should make a 1 hour video of U helping I would love it if u did
Helping you mean herping
Lol ur like, yes I found a coachwhip... I'm over here thinking, can I plz find something other than a coachwhip... they r all over where I live seems like 80% of my finds r coachwhips
wow im over here tryna find a god damn snake or a salamander theres like nothing here
@@DeniseFromTurkey I've only seen 2 snakes all year long and we're a week away from June
Nice.
Are you scared of getting bit or something?
I've got a video of a 4ft coachwhip on my channel, he plays dead just like this 1! Had 1 play dead on me just last week as well
17:27
Hey
I have never seen a coachwhip that has that black color in florida. They are just brown here :(
HI， I m from China, very like your videos, can I screenshot of your videos and showing to our blogs(xinlang microbolog? TKS
I can see why they call it a coachwhip. Looks like Indiana Jones' leather whip.
Anybody else freaking out as he reaches into poison ivy/oak leaves to flip rocks?
Huh, I didn’t really notice, but neither of those causes any sort of reaction for me so I don’t think about it too often.
