I absolutely love these videos. I've only found one snake under a rock in my life, and it was a cute little Brown Snake. However, the whole adventure is addicting!
These videos make me want to go out on nature so bad. All I ever find herping is isopods, earthworms, beetles and centipedes... So nothing, but it's still fun as all get out!
I love these videos, I rarely see snakes here in Virginia anymore, not like I did when I was a kind, 1 eastern Garter this year, I gotta find a decent spot
I don't get it. I'm pretty old now, almost 70, but when I was a kid I caught a LOT of snakes in southern CA, especially the different racers and coachwhips. I don't know if the eastern critters are just more laid back or what, but those suckers used to bite the snot out of me... from the time they were picked up until I let them go! The best method was to tail them, then pull them back between my legs, allowing them to chomp on my jeans, until I could control the head. They were relentless when it came to biting everything they could sink their pointy little teeth into! I came home numerous times with bite marks all over my hands and arms. To be honest, I really hate being snake bit but I never had any intentions of hurting them so I just put up with it. So far, here in MO, where I live now, I've seen quite a few neat snakes on my property... some hognose, vine, ringneck, and a couple of really beautiful speckled kings. I like having them around but unfortunately, had a relatively close (for out here, anyway!) neighbor that simply hated snakes and killed every one he saw. I pleaded with him to call me if he saw one and I'd relocate it for him but he never called. Jerk. The only ones to be careful of here are the copperheads, which I usually relocate when I find them around the house, down to barn, next to the stream. Only 2 in 20+ years out here. I've got a black and corn that den under the concrete porch by the back door and they scare the bejeesus out of my Filipino wife whenever they make an appearance around her. It's natural for them to be afraid since most of the snakes they have there are venomous, but even tho she knows these can't hurt her, she still freaks out! It's always good for a laugh, anyway. Keep up the good work, I love seeing all the different species you have there, it's like a herpers paradise there, much like AZ when I lived there. Cheers, jc
J Michael Carbonniere it is a herpers paradise. In my country (Sardinia) it's very rare to find a snake and we have no venomous ones that I'm aware of. When I went to Georgia I had so much fun looking for different snakes. I'm still a bit scared of them but I love them at the same time, I more so like to look at them from afar, the wild one's that is. 😃 Sorry for my English
Wow! I wpuld love to find some of those what part of MO do you live in? I live in kansas close to MO but we also have neighbors that kill every snake they find even though we would be over joyed if we could catch one. We generally just find rat snakes and ringneck snakes along with the occasional De'Kays brown snake
I wonder if the crown snakes are just more active at this time of year and you hadn’t herped that area in early April before? Or their population is just growing right now to the point of them being more common there?
very great vids that u make, was wondering if u ever come across and coral snakes? i know they look like king snakes but a lot of ppl are not aware of the difference. if you happen to get one a lot of ppl would like to know the difference
The black kingsnakes I'm seeing around my area about 150 miles west of you are smaller and have solid yellow bellies with a few yellow spots on their lower side. Those and grey rat snakes are about the only species I've been seeing lately.
Those eastern hognose snakes get so much bigger than a western hognose. I have a 4 year old captive bred male western hognose and he's only a foot long and eats fuzzy mice.
Instead of keeping as a pet why don’t you just enjoy them in their natural environment. They can take care of themselves just fine in the wild way better than you could in a terrarium.
Alan Western hognose are very abundant in the pet trade. Almost all are captive bred. Also, they are not native to my area and I am unable to enjoy them where I live.
Alan Ah yes a snake would much rather be chased by humans with a shovel rather than live in a terrarium with a reliable food source and a safe environment.
Alan there are already so many hog noses in the pet trade that aren’t able to survive by themselves in the wild, better to take care of them and give them a long-lasting, happy and fulfilling life than letting them stay in packed breeding areas overshadowed by the other snakes.
Yo where do u get ur info on county’s and what snakes have been found there? I live in WI now & I can’t figure out a good way to hit it, most of the habitat is flat or rolling hills that either are overgrown fields or farm fields or woods. But the soil is good & there’s barely any rocks
Question, so I am not sure how to phrase this the right way in English, but what is the pink colouring on the body? I thought their areas were hidden from the view?
Hey NFK!!! I need help with something; cuz ur an expert. Where should i put some tin or laydowns? I live in socal and i dont have any water holes. Any suggestions?
Do you ever find any that's not the dark phase Hognose? That's the only phase I ever find around our lake(Randolph Cty, AL). I've only ever seen the Yellow/Tan phase once, and that was on display at the Anniston Museum of Natural History back in the 90's...
@@scottnixon2899 Ah, ok i don't think o know of that one. I live in the UK, we don't have them here but my dad lives in Georgia....He sees several of the regular Easterns. I'll have to ask him about them 🐍
There is nothing to flip where I live in nw Florida! I realized this this winter when I was looking for salamanders. All our trees are skinny pine and we have no natural rock, just sand😪
Box turtles make great pets if cared for properly. I have 5 I adopted from a rescue. They just came outta hibernation the other day. I've had 3 of mine for 12 years now. I don't advise people to remove them from the wild. Unfortunately mine can't be released because they might not survive in the wild and it is actually illegal to release them in my state once they've spent a year or more in captivity. I'll will have to find them another home when eventually I'm too elderly to care for them.
How do you tell the difference between a black racer and a black rat i live in new Jersey my house is surrounded by woods which im in every day i dont see many snakes but the other day was one of those days I found a corn snake ringneck snake garter snake and either a black rat or black racer all within 50 yards of where I live I also found a lizard on a tree I looked it up it was a wood Swift
Great vid NFK!!! i love the vids u post. Also dont mind the hurtful comments... they're just jealous of your knowledge. Great video and HAPPY EASTER!!!
Is it okay for people to be interested in herping? Are new herpers welcome? Were do someone begin? Up here in WV I don't really find anything. Id like to know what I'm doing wrong. If you could only see the size rocks that id flip just to see if anything is under it.
Random Tube it really depends on what time of day so in mid day i would go out and flip and not find one thing i went out in the evening caught a garter snake 4 ring necks and rat snakes I’d look at either dawn and dusk and weather between 55 and 80 degrees (Fahrenheit) and look under anything you can flip like garbage boards rocks etc.. good luck on your herping buddy hope you turn up some good stuff:):):)🦎🐍🐍
I appreciate snakes but don’t like them becoming roommates. They hibernate in the crawl space during the winter below in my home in Tenn. Just found a skin in the attic. Is there a safe deterrent product to keep them out of my home.
The one snake I've never had an always wanted... Back in the day $25, now at the expos $300 to $500 and over hognoses, because no one does the drive to WV, to bring any... I'm about outta anything but venomous now days, but I'd love to have a few hognose snakes... OMG I'd have gave you $500 fir that Starlet snake... dang you are sooooo lucky!!!!
I am pretty sure I caught a SE Crown snake in my back yard right here in Buckhead in the middle of metro ATL. Is it rare as I still have him in an aquarium for my kids to play with. Let me know😎
I wish I had your luck. The only snake I found when I was in Georgia were copperheads, and I am not experienced nor stupid, so I watched them from afar😃 my country has no venomous snakes, and not even a wide variety of non venomous ones. But I do love to see the hedgehogs in my yard.
In some species, the males have extremely long claws compared to females. With softshell turtles, the females grow significantly larger than the males.
Making oneself look larger, along with hissing is not uncommon with snakes. Or with other animals. Cobras do it for the same reason. They just want to be left alone. They don’t want to fight. It’s better to trick a potential predator than fight with it.
Actually im not wondering about chick filet..... Im wondering, and im sure i speak for many of us, did you wash your hands before you ate? You had quite a bit of snake deuces on your hands. lolll
I done with chick fil a. The last few times I've been there, they gave me the saddest, smallest pieces of chicken on my sandwich. I have turned into a Popeyes man now. Just such a bigger sandwich!!
I guess it's only myself and that hognose who understands his defense although a little late in the game. You don't have fangs or venom so 💩 poop is your next best defense. Usually you take a poop in someone's hand they drop you like a hot rock. Noah take a ride up to Marrietta and see if the Big Chicken is open. Up here fast food is open but drive through only and the way they are doing it is like being fed with a stick.
Only time I ever found a Mole Kingsnake in the wild was one spring when I found three - - two males engaged in ritual combat, and a female nearby waiting to leave with the winner. It was back before cell phones, and I wasn't carrying a camera that day, so no footage exists. Fun to watch the spectacle, however.
Night fishing once and had a weird feeling. Turned on a flashlight and between my feet was a water snake probably a northern but I don't know. I think that I jumped up and tried to hit it with my fishing pole. The water snakes around here are very aggressive. I'm in central Illinois. That snake scared the hell out of me.
I was gender neutral. I fish even at night with about as light of tackle as I can get by with. But use spiderwire when ever I can. I doubt that I would have hurt the snake if I had hit it but I think I missed and just banged up my pole on the rocks.
No because they’re still completely harmless to people and there’s always that one idiot out there that will start killing them because they’re “actually venomous”.
@@NKFherping I suppose you are right on that one. People act irrationality if they perceive something to be even the minutest of threats. I see that with snakes here in Aus.
Hognose snakes are literally the most dramatic snakes ever😂
I absolutely love these videos. I've only found one snake under a rock in my life, and it was a cute little Brown Snake. However, the whole adventure is addicting!
It totally is!
I found a baby copper head near my beach one time
The orange behind it's head is the Scarlet's beauty.

what an incredible day! Great stuff as usual, man!
I love how much you love these amazing creatures, snakes are the best
Im no herpetologist but that first snake was COOL!
The white lip😮 he's perfect!!!
Great video Noah! Thanks! 👍🏻😄
I wonder if the crown snakes are just more active at this time of year and you hadn’t herped that area in early April before? Or their population is just growing right now to the point of them being more common there?
Another fun video, thanks for sharing.
Keep up the herping, I look forward to your vids being cooped up like this.

Thanks for posting the awesome herping brother. I’m always in the field here in north Florida!
Might be the nicest black Hognose I've ever seen
Those eastern hognose snakes get so much bigger than a western hognose. I have a 4 year old captive bred male western hognose and he's only a foot long and eats fuzzy mice.
My next pet snake is definitely going to be a western hognose. They’re so cool and pretty
Make sure you do your research! They are very hard to take care of.
Instead of keeping as a pet why don’t you just enjoy them in their natural environment. They can take care of themselves just fine in the wild way better than you could in a terrarium.

Question, so I am not sure how to phrase this the right way in English, but what is the pink colouring on the body? I thought their areas were hidden from the view?
very very good! i like black mamba!
do you ever flip up a rock and squish/kill whats underneath it? i flipped a rock that was on another rock and the lizard under it got squished.
That is so cool!😁😁😁
Hey NFK!!! I need help with something; cuz ur an expert. Where should i put some tin or laydowns? I live in socal and i dont have any water holes. Any suggestions?
I would also like to keep them close to home. Near my house i have no water places
Can you come to NY? I would love to find copperheads or timber rattle snakes here
Love your skills bro found a six foot King skin and a 3.5 foot Eastern x black King in the same time pile today myself

What camera do you use to make these fantastic videos? 😍😍👏👏
How exactly do you tell the female turtles from the males? Is it just because of their sizes?
In some species, the males have extremely long claws compared to females. With softshell turtles, the females grow significantly larger than the males.
4:27 Well this has descended into straight up disgustingness. Can’t even stop laughing!! What a ridiculous animal! My stomach hurts from laughing!😂
I love Hognose snakes. I find it odd that they puff up and basically mimic a Cobra which is not a native snake and so odd one to mimic.
It’s called convergent evolution.
Making oneself look larger, along with hissing is not uncommon with snakes. Or with other animals. Cobras do it for the same reason. They just want to be left alone. They don’t want to fight. It’s better to trick a potential predator than fight with it.
I live in northern Georgia and I’ve tried to find rough green snakes by my river and I can’t
I remember when you were hyped for 10k views.
13:30 peek-a-boo 😆
Can you show the photos you take in your videos, or make a video on herp photography
Do you have any pet snakes
I went on my first actual herping hunt and caught 2 eastern racers 9 ring necks and my favorite find a speckled king snake my first king and racer
Gov of GA: STAY AT HOME!
Noah: o.0 if you say so
nice vlog!
I went looking for a hognose today, what I found was a whole lot of nothing! It's fairly hard to make videos when u come up empty so often
You can go to chik fil.a...its open
I was hoping you were gonna upload a video today
Maybe one day you can come up to Indiana !
Actually im not wondering about chick filet..... Im wondering, and im sure i speak for many of us, did you wash your hands before you ate? You had quite a bit of snake deuces on your hands. lolll
