This is one of your best videos in my opinion. Your love of reptiles comes through and shows your viewers that they shouldn't be fearful of snakes. Bravo!
Aw man, that second kingsnake, the one with the chain look to it, was just SO pretty. I also loved the smug face on that rat snake! He looked so proud of himself, sitting in that nest like the king of the hill!! Also, timber rattles have such gorgeous patterns. That was one pretty snake. I loved how your love for herping respectfully showed in this video! Catching that water snake without getting bit was so fun to see, especially as someone who is not terrified of snakes but has a healthy fear of being bitten by one.
They are purdy! Actually the second King Snake was GORGEOUS!!! P.S.: I'm wondering why there are so many corrugated tin panels lying on the ground, out in the woods?
It's been a dream of mine for a while to catch a rat snake and you flipped a really nice one. I also respect how you didn't Handel him and just let him eat I probably would've tried to pick him up lol....
Hearing you talk about that humidity, I'm just SO GLAD to be in Arizona. BLEH! My glasses fog up just thinking about it. I miss Georgia, but I don't miss the humidity!
They have several different kinds of pit vipers down there in Georgia too. In my opinion this guy is a mad man for using his hands to lift up that tin and he doesn't have on snake boots. He should use his head and add safety to his videos. His bad habits could get him killed.
It’s pretty easy to not grab or step on venomous snakes. I’ve been doing this since I was a little kid. Do you drive a car? Exponentially more dangerous than anything in this video.
Doesn't matter how long you've been doing it or claim to have been doing it. You are a danger to yourself. Facts are facts, you getting upset only means CV your pride has been hurt. Pride kills too, so once again use your head and put away your ego.
I explore anything abandoned around NW GA mostly. Run into baby vultures a lot. See snake skin all the time. Great video. This helps with learning and staying more safe out in the wild. New sub.
That was a really fun video to watch. You have discovered a magic combination of respect, knowledge, and great content. I suspect many people watching your channel have become reptile lovers or at the very least less fearful and more respectful of snakes. Thanks for educating the masses.
I saw 2 huge black ratsnakes when I went hiking earlier today near an old stone wall. I captured them and took a few photos and released them. Then they quickly went into the wall. They were very docile and never even tried to bite me. Because they were together I assume they were getting ready to mate because they were a male and female. I'm glad they went into the same part of the wall. They were beautiful.
It's a weird feeling when you find the same snake twice. It happened to me with a little ringneck. It was a year apart, same yard but different board. He had an extra scale or two of yellow on one part of his ring
Have you made it to Snake Road in Southern Illinois during fall hibernation migration September 1 to October 30 yet? 23 different species known to cross. If you are lucky on timing you may see 100-200 snakes in one day depending on how many times you walk back and forth on the road or 20 to 30 snakes per walk down the road.
Great way to spend the day man I am Virginia born in Georgia there’s so much animal life in the south and use to do this all the time as kid .Great content
When I saw the flipping tin heading, I thought it was about metal recycling since tin is a very expensive metal, dwarfing both copper and aluminum prices. What we have here is steel.
The title wasn’t as exaggerated as I thought. Very nice variety of quite large snakes. The first little king that shed in your hand was cute, the second was exceptional and the third was standard. The ratsnake looked happy with this big meal and the vipers were quite chunky and photogenic.
Hey man! You single handedly sparked my whole interest in herping. I've liked this hobby for the many times I've tried it so far and made decent finds, ad I started about a month ago. Whilst I've found good spots for salamanders and frogs, never really snakes. I know I shouldn't ask for locations, as those are things you keep a secret, but where do you find so much tin? I'm a fellow north georgia resident as well, so I'm glad you can give me tips on where to find animals in my state.
I live in north GA as well, and my father and I were out looking for snakes and we found a 8 foot king snake. That was the first ever king snake I had ever seen.
I was in West Virginia this past week and I thought for sure I'd see more snakes. I wasn't helping, just backpacking but I thought I'd see more. I did see one of the biggest Garters I've ever seen but that was it.
What an amazing day and video of flipping. I've only caught 2 Eastern king snakes in my life! 3 in one day and plus the others you got, then, the copperhead and timber rattler. Would love to have a day like this! Congratulations my friend and be safe
I grew up doing the same thing, hunting snakes when I was a kid... Broward County Florida in the early and mid seventies.. we used to call it " the rabbit place." I enjoyed your video. I caught a speckled king snake in my yard the other evening... two footer big around as a nickel. Like your second king. Awesome video... 👌 I really enjoyed it.
I stopped my train for an hour somewhere West if Millen, GA the other to wait for a while. There were sheets of tin like this and I really thought about flipping them. Decided not to for safety. I know my snakes but didn’t want to chance while on duty.
I wonder if that large odd looking king snake is a wild hybrid between a rat and a king. Wild hybrids between king snakes and multiple other species have been found (such as king and gopher snake)
Part of me is happy that we don't have the number of venomous snakes that you have, but another part of me is sad that we don't have the variety you do. Best wishes from GB...
Dang man I forgot about your channel for a minute but I'm glad I'm back. All I'd do as a kid is flip stuff and admire the critters I'd find. Great content homie.
not sure what the specifics are at 11:50 but probably shouldnt drive and record (just looking in the reflection of the lenses), we need the strong content to keep coming for a long time 👍
I’m on a dirt road with no traffic. I won’t do that on the highway, at least with the front facing camera. Always keeping my eyes on the road, for snakes and safety reasons! Mostly snakes.
There is some controversy as to whether the timber rattlesnake and the canebrake are the same species. The Georgia brown snake is about the most common residential snake in north Georgia. At least in the Atlanta area. I see at least one in my yard every year. They’re all over the place.
I’m always amazed when he flips a tin and there’s nothing there. I got anxiety in the first tin flipping of the video watching him step in that brownish grass while flipping.
Ya know , I was wondering how the hell he finds this much tin to flip. Is he putting it out there? I doubt it because most of the time it's multiple pieces on top of each other. Either way , dude has some good luck.
Im newer to herping, and I had no idea what a canebrake was, lol. I was like, are they not timbers? Lmao (same species timber refers to the northerns and canebrake is more southern. At least, I think, let me know if I got that wrong. Lol)
I wonder if snakes feel the same way about herpers as we do about UFO abductions...
Thats kind of deep man, i think they do though.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this
He's not butt probing these snakes though.......he isn't is he?🤣
@@lta6494 only when he wants to identify the sex lol
I know this is conrelate but how do you know what the snakes are girls or boys
This is one of your best videos in my opinion. Your love of reptiles comes through and shows your viewers that they shouldn't be fearful of snakes.
Bravo!
Ha I JUST wrote the same thing!!
Fear=!respect😉
Still afraid of them.
some of those flip clips were stellar. That first little king was immaculate
Snakes in your regular flipping areas as you lift up tin layers: "Oh crap, here he comes again." You: 😁
That turtle must be so pissed, he's running late for a date and you put him back to where he is 10 hours before 😂😂.
Nice videos!!
Reaches into bushes, grabs snake. Me: has a heart attack.
Love the respect you show the snakes you find; great herping today, that little redbellied snake was a real beauty. Good luck, and don't get bit!
I love how you thank your viewers for watching. It us who should thank you for making and sharing great content. Thank you. 🐍

the baby one?
I liked my water snake.
They are purdy!
Actually the second King Snake was GORGEOUS!!!
P.S.: I'm wondering why there are so many corrugated tin panels lying on the ground, out in the woods?

A Banner Day Noah! Fantastic herping.
Thanks so much for allowing all of us to tag along for the ride and adventure. 😉
I'd never heard a buzzard make a noise. I learned something new today. Buzzards hiss. Lol.
That ratsnake sitting perfectly in the middle of the nest of whatever he consumed was super cool.
Hearing you talk about that humidity, I'm just SO GLAD to be in Arizona. BLEH! My glasses fog up just thinking about it. I miss Georgia, but I don't miss the humidity!
Sending you envy from the beaches in Florida lol. I almost moved to Arizona but the plans fell through
Me too! After growing up in Detroit and freezing half my life, I now just boil! 😂
They have several different kinds of pit vipers down there in Georgia too. In my opinion this guy is a mad man for using his hands to lift up that tin and he doesn't have on snake boots. He should use his head and add safety to his videos. His bad habits could get him killed.

Cool gesture for helping that turtle off the road. That copperhead was beautiful.

this video was amazing
Up here around Chattanooga, copperheads are the most common snake I see, besides ring-necked snakes
15:00 how the snake just gives up and chills I will never quite understand, but it’s so sick tbh

Very knowledgeable and very brave
What an incredible day flipping! Loved seeing all the kingsnakes; great patterns.
Kingsnakes are so chill. I love them!
Great work ❤
oh that juvenile vulture! I know we're here for reptiles but that is quite a sighting.
It's a weird feeling when you find the same snake twice. It happened to me with a little ringneck. It was a year apart, same yard but different board. He had an extra scale or two of yellow on one part of his ring
Wow man!!
What an epic herp day..
It so amazing and you are so respectful to all your catchings..
Good vibes man!!
All of these snakes are probably thinking, "Who the flip are you?!"

Love this site,Brings back many memorí of finding lots of different snakes in northwest Indiana
Great way to spend the day man I am Virginia born in Georgia there’s so much animal life in the south and use to do this all the time as kid .Great content
The slow herping in Georgia this season seems to have picked up! Great video NKF.
I'm glad you reached out and picked up a king snake and not something venomous

Wow! Never seen so many snakes! Well Done on the water snake capture !
You've got a great eye for finding those little guys.
Ok, I gotta ask. Does it rain tin in Georgia? Seems like a lot of tin just laying around.
I live in north GA as well, and my father and I were out looking for snakes and we found a 8 foot king snake. That was the first ever king snake I had ever seen.
8 ft kingsnake??,got photos???
It probably was not 8ft mb. I was like 8 yrs old. Sorry.
You make my anxiety go through the roof when you turn over that tin with your hand..😱
My favourite part was when you caught the third king snake. Amazing
Super glad we've finally gotten rain in Dawson county. Found an armadillo DOR here, didn't know they were up here.
I was in West Virginia this past week and I thought for sure I'd see more snakes. I wasn't helping, just backpacking but I thought I'd see more. I did see one of the biggest Garters I've ever seen but that was it.
Beautiful area. In South Georgia the snakes found us.
🧡💛💜🤎💚 the nerodia! Always so excited when they show up in non riparian habitat.
I handle a lot of nope ropes bare handed but rattlers are the nope ropes I absolutely refuse to mess with!!
The black snake is so very friendly to grab😁😁
Here in Oklahoma we have speckled king snakes. My wife was buying sticky traps and catching babies. Had to put a end to that..king snakes are awesome.
What an amazing day and video of flipping. I've only caught 2 Eastern king snakes in my life! 3 in one day and plus the others you got, then, the copperhead and timber rattler. Would love to have a day like this! Congratulations my friend and be safe
Very cool stuff, thanks
He really just said just a baby vulture😂
Great vid
Nice day! You seem happiest when u find a kingsnake.
the copperhead looked so cute
Great video!

Of all the things to find under an abandoned house, a fledgling vulture wouldn't even make the list.
I’ve seen a lot of fledgeling vultures, and every single one has been in or under an abandoned house or barn.
Awesome flipping! That Rattlesnake and that Ratsnake were tanks!
mmm I'm addicted. I could watch this all day.
Great video. beautiful snakes
Imagine if snakes were as excited to see you too 😂
I am deathly afraid of snakes, I don’t know why I am watching this! Lol.
Is a Brown snake and a Dekays the same thing?
Yep. Different common names for Storeria dekayi.
@@NKFherping 👍🏻 thanks
Thank you for the video!!!
My goodness man, you're gonna be the next Steve Erwin!
I’d be wearing some snake boots
My great uncle Cletus USE to flip tin for Snakes. Key word USE to
I've never seen so much random tin just laying around. What's the source of it, and how do you find it?
I watched the entire video! I wanna go herping! You had some great finds.
That's a cool snake
I wonder if that large odd looking king snake is a wild hybrid between a rat and a king. Wild hybrids between king snakes and multiple other species have been found (such as king and gopher snake)
Wow! You found some beauties!
Part of me is happy that we don't have the number of venomous snakes that you have, but another part of me is sad that we don't have the variety you do. Best wishes from GB...
I’m glad we don’t have any venomous snakes here in England apart from the Adder. I prefer to look and appreciate them from afar!!
Dang man I forgot about your channel for a minute but I'm glad I'm back. All I'd do as a kid is flip stuff and admire the critters I'd find. Great content homie.
What is the biggest snake you ever caught
Love to find. One
COOL SNAKES!
not sure what the specifics are at 11:50 but probably shouldnt drive and record (just looking in the reflection of the lenses), we need the strong content to keep coming for a long time 👍
I’m on a dirt road with no traffic. I won’t do that on the highway, at least with the front facing camera. Always keeping my eyes on the road, for snakes and safety reasons! Mostly snakes.
That baby king snake was awesome
Nice work. You always have interesting vids. Never disappointed. Thanks.
When you flipped the timber rattler you just pushed a bush of poison sumac out of the way with your hand 🤣🤣
Very interesting.
Love these guys!!!
There is some controversy as to whether the timber rattlesnake and the canebrake are the same species. The Georgia brown snake is about the most common residential snake in north Georgia. At least in the Atlanta area. I see at least one in my yard every year. They’re all over the place.
Glad you did this and not me. The amount of poison ivy you slogged through to grab the water snake would have me in ER! lol
I had a king snake, it was cool st feeding. It would shake its tail on the gravel and it would sound like rattle
I’m always amazed when he flips a tin and there’s nothing there. I got anxiety in the first tin flipping of the video watching him step in that brownish grass while flipping.
It's one of my favorite things, the unpredictability of what is gonna be flipped
Tin is a natural occurring phenomenon in Georgia!
I always wondered where the debris goes when we have a tornado in Virginia. Now I know it ends up on Georgia.
Ya know , I was wondering how the hell he finds this much tin to flip. Is he putting it out there? I doubt it because most of the time it's multiple pieces on top of each other. Either way , dude has some good luck.
Im newer to herping, and I had no idea what a canebrake was, lol. I was like, are they not timbers? Lmao (same species timber refers to the northerns and canebrake is more southern. At least, I think, let me know if I got that wrong. Lol)
They're basically the same thing. Canes are usually bigger, though. They're both Crotalus Horridus.
This is your best GA day since I’ve subscribed. (I’m in Henry Co. local fan)
Could that King be a hybrid with a speckled? Just wondering but anyway one cool patern.
bro fearless
I'm obsessed with the snake Keep up the good work
I really like these videos..
Had a copperhead come in the pontoon fat as a python on Ole Coney one night. New sub!
