A last minute trip to Chicago in search of snakes and good times. Hooked up with Dave and Jeremy of "Nature in Your Face" and also Danny Dinaso. So many snakes! Good times!!!! Lou B
Looks like an epic trip, those plains garters were gorgeous and holy crow some of those fox snakes were beefy! Can't believe you got a triple flip, wild stuff. Great video Lou!
@@loub747 Definitely! Sometimes you can get lucky and find a lot before it cools off too much. Sadly I don’t think I’ll be finding hardly any more snakes this year.
I'm going to take you guys out for a hike in the desert proper, one cholla in the foot will cure your footwear choices. 5:56 😂 WTH? TMTC on those fox snakes?!?!?! That was worth the price of admission. NIYF crew comes through.
Cool to see those foxes. That's a bucket list critter for me. Don't let anybody give you crap about your poison ivy. Walking through raspberry prickers in sandels is no picnic.
Damn, foxes everywhere. Great video Lou. You should have brought some of your hot ladies and called the video "Foxy Ladies and Foxy Snakes", lol. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay cool. Richard from Arkansas
Just to clear up any confusion Jeremy stepped on a nail and got a “lil prick”, everyone knows he’s hung like an armadillo 😂. Great video as usual brother. We’ll definitely do it again!
Haha Nature... That was a good pickup on that line. One has to choose words carefully. And as far as poison ivy goes, I once had it so bad I was covered head to foot and my eyes were so swollen I could barely see. There was consideration of being hospitalized. Lou, get some good foot wear. Although you had that bite, and got through it. A high tolerance for pain I guess. My best regards. Also, I don't know what an Armadillo is hung like. Is it a "everything bigger in Texas" thing?
I'm from Chicago and the south suburbs....so this was an excellent hall. A smooth green added to it , would have been glorious. Do come back in the spring Lou. Good job!
What's up Big Lou? It's great to see you out there with the guys looking for some snake treasure. Those Fox Snakes were definitely a treat. Check your toes in a few days and let us know the results. Cheers.
Nice pile of fox snakes ... loved the outing. Good to see you guys all together in a video. Excellent timing with the upload considering all the snake peeps are in Chicago this weekend for Tinley Park NARBC show.

Thanks so much. Sorry for the late reply. Lou B
Outstanding video, Lou! First time I've ever seen someone flip a Fox Snake, --- and you guys flipped SIX!!! Insane!
Yeah, it was a crazy finish to the day!!!
Great video!
Thanks so much. Really appreciated. Lou B
Love those snakes, thanks so much for that my good friend.

Bunch of them on that outing! Nice job 👍🏼
Thanks so much. Got lucky! Lou B
Awesome foxsnakes guys!
Yeah, got lucky with those. So awesome to see them! Lou B
I'm from Chicago and I'm sooo impressed! You found some mighty cool looking snakes! And brave to wear sandals.
Yeah, it always amazes me how many snakes can be found close to the city! Lou B
Dude the fox snakes are too cool! I mean honestly any pile of snakes is awesome, but fox snakes are pretty darn cool! Fantastic video as usual!
Thanks so much. Got lucky I feel this late in the season.
@@loub747 Definitely! Sometimes you can get lucky and find a lot before it cools off too much. Sadly I don’t think I’ll be finding hardly any more snakes this year.
Great stuff Lou!!!!!
Thanks so much Todd. It's been awhile!
Welcome Back
Thanks! Lou B
Good to see another video from you.
Thanks so much. More in the works! Lou B
I’ve never seen herping video with this many fox snakes. Impressive.
Yeah, we got lucky this trip! Good times. Lou B
Cool, back in Cook County
Lol. I don’t know my counties all that well!
You guys are too funny 😂those are berry bushes not poison ivy. Blackberry or raspberry. I’ve never found a Fox snake… thanks Lou!!
I think I edited in video of the wrong plants! There was some poison ivy around. It must be in the video somewhere! Lol. Thanks though!!!
Awesome vid. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks for making this happen!
Thanks Lou, what a fantastic days herping.
Yeah, had fun on that day! Lou B
He is so cool!😂
Fox snakes are very cool! Good times. Lou B
I'm going to take you guys out for a hike in the desert proper, one cholla in the foot will cure your footwear choices. 5:56 😂
WTH? TMTC on those fox snakes?!?!?! That was worth the price of admission. NIYF crew comes through.
LOL. Those cholla are no joke. I hate those with a passion. NIYF for the win!! Hope alls well my friend.
@@loub747 Doing well, no chollas in my bed.
Cool to see those foxes. That's a bucket list critter for me. Don't let anybody give you crap about your poison ivy. Walking through raspberry prickers in sandels is no picnic.
LOL. Apparently I edited in the wrong plant! Go figure. There was poison ivy as well. Hope alls well my friend. Lou
It was a raspberry vine, not poison ivy. I have 1 in my yard.
Someone else told me that as well. It’s possible I edited in the wrong plant as they swear poison ivy is there…
Later in the video he shows him walking over actual poison ivy. So it was there mixed in with the evil vine of pain. 😂
@@NatureInYourFaceI didn’t see any. Being barefoot he would definitely know if it was… it usually doesn’t grow in thick grass like here…
Yes wild raspberry for sure!
Damn, foxes everywhere. Great video Lou. You should have brought some of your hot ladies and called the video "Foxy Ladies and Foxy Snakes", lol. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay cool.
Richard from Arkansas
That's a great idea for another video! Thanks Richard. Appreciate the comment and support! Lou B
Let’s hook up for some flipping. I’ve got lots of good board lines down in Carlsbad 🐍
Hit me up when spring comes along. I’d love to join you. Lou B
2:00 insert “WHAT ARE THOSE” meme 😅
LOL Yeah! I may get a pair.... Lou B
never stop herpin
You know it!
Where in Chicago? Orland grasslands?
Yeah, around that area.....
Hopefully you guys took a break long enough to get some infamous Chicago style hotdogs, Lou!! Jim C.
Yeah! We got some at the end. Didn't video it though. I sorta took the "Chicago style" off of mine. Lou B
that is NOT poison ivy--that sir is a raspberry vine--lol
I’ve been told by locals otherwise. Maybe I videoed the wrong plant!
Raspberry vine was everywhere there ripping our flesh and the poison ivy was lower to the ground.
Just to clear up any confusion Jeremy stepped on a nail and got a “lil prick”, everyone knows he’s hung like an armadillo 😂. Great video as usual brother. We’ll definitely do it again!
LOL. Good times my friend. Can't wait to meet up again!!!

@@roderickcampbell2105UA-cam armadillo penis and be amazed lol
Love Fox snakes, never had the chance to find one. Nice herpin'.🦊🔥
Yeah, they are pretty sweet looking even though they aren’t very colorful.
Where were you? Guessing Chicago?? I won’t say finally a herping video lol
Lol. Yeah, Chicago. Got Singapore and India on the radar. Should have some good videos soon my friend. Hope alls well.
I'm from Chicago and the south suburbs....so this was an excellent hall. A smooth green added to it , would have been glorious. Do come back in the spring Lou. Good job!
Yeah, I'll definitely be back in the spring. Can't wait! Lou B
Dang Lou you found a little casino spot because "Jackpot"...
I know right! Good times. Lou B
I don't believe in three different (sub)species in one area. I call it intraspecific variation.
But nice video!
Yeah, who knows! Good times for sure out there. Lou B
Looks like fun to me. Thanks for sharing you guys!
Yeah, we had a blast. Lou B
What's up Big Lou? It's great to see you out there with the guys looking for some snake treasure. Those Fox Snakes were definitely a treat. Check your toes in a few days and let us know the results. Cheers.
How's it going. So far so good on the feet. Hopefully they stay that way! Good times. Lou B

Yeah, I wish I could have stayed for that. Always like hitting the reptile shows.
Thx for posting!
It’s my pleasure. Lou B
Hey, at least they're not on a plane Lou .
I’m still working on that video! Lol.
