- Arizona and California are home to many snake species. The most famous ones are venomous rattlesnakes, but desert is inhabited by many non-venomous snakes also. We travelled to the USA to film a documentary called The Desert of Rattlesnakes: • The Desert of Rattlesn...
During our quest to find venomous rattlesnakes we encountered some non-venomous snakes also. You will them in this video - Rosy boa (Lichanura trivirgata), Arizona mountain kingsnake (Lampropeltis pyromelana), California mountain kingsnake (Lampropeltis zonata), California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula), Desert kingsnake (Lampropeltis splendida), Gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer), Chihuahuan hook-nosed snake (Gyalopion canum), Black-necked gartersnake (Thamnophis cyrtopsis).
Nicely Done! Not enough herpers take the time to set up nice and peaceful shots of the snakes in their natural habitat, especially with such high quality and sound. When you can gather such an audience as you have without crazy embellishment or click-bait, it gives me a little hope for humanity.
Thank you very much!! We appreciate your comment. We love to take the time to film animals in their habitat and we are happy that people like it! Actually, we were not expecting that so many will be interested and it is great.
Tried to hit the like a thousand times but it only worked once.
Unfortunately it works only once! :) Thank you!
Living Zoology UA-cam you the king among Kings so just keep it up and sending more
Thank you so much!!! :) We will keep going!
@@LivingZoology I actually have a pair of rosy boas. They are really great pets. Mine were born in captivity though.
@@joshuahull9982 They are awesome snakes! Which color do you have? The black ones are super pretty!
@@LivingZoology I have a red and white female and a black and white male rosy boa. I also have 2 female California kingsnakes, a pair of eastern garter snakes and a male western hognose snake. I have 7 snakes in all and 5 of them are native to the deserts of the American southwest.
@@joshuahull9982 That is a cool collection! :)
Could you do snakes in Utah please. I catch gopher snakes all the time and green rat snakes but I’d be interested in learning what other snake species live in Utah. I’ve also seen western diamond back rattlesnakes while riding my horse in the mountains. I just subbed 😁 I really enjoyed this video and now I’ll check out some other bids
Thank you very much for watching!!! We will maybe visit Utah in the future also :) There are definitely some interesting snakes!
Your channel has by far the best snake cinematography
Thank you so much!!! We appreciate this a lot!
@@LivingZoology i really wonder why your subscribers so less, i mean the stuff that you have on your channel is Nat Geo level kinda stuff & some videos are even better than that... I just wish the best for your channel guys & i really want to see it grow fast... Love from India ❤️ Land of Russell's Viper & Cobras 😎
Awesome and amazing video my friend i love it 👌👌👌👌👌💞💞💞💞💞

Thank you so much!!! It is great that you enjoyed watching it! :)
This is one of the best filmed snake videos I have seen on UA-cam. So good! What kind of camera was used and how long did it take to find and film all these?
Thank you very much!!! :) We were filming in desert of Arizona and California for 1 month. Our main camera is Canon GX10. These are basically shots which mostly did not make it into the main film. Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/Rq2k4Tzu198/v-deo.html
@@LivingZoology Thanks! I commented on the other one as well. :)
@@SolidSerpents Oh, we are going to check your comment. Thank you again! :)
Outstanding video! I love the way you were able to show these snakes in their natural environment without someone trying to handle them. Too many crocodile hunter wannabes out there.
Thank you very much! We think that a natural footage of snakes is much better than when someone is handling the snake and talking.
I have a rosy boa and it is one of the gentlest snakes in existence. I think they are cryptic in the wild.
Rosy boas are very cool snakes! They blend in the desert environment. We were lucky to find it on the road.
Hey guys the videos are great and extremely educational. Please adjust soundtrack to suite deserts aren't so noisy I'm hearing tropical animal sounds . Much love stilll.
Thank you very much for watching!! This is really sound of Sonoran desert, we would never put rainforest sound in to video of desert ;)
There are about 40 reasons to move to Arizona for a herper like me, one for each species of nonvenomous snake that can be found in the state.
Exactly! Arizona is awesome!
Very very nice
Thank you very much!!!
I live in California and the deadliest rattlesnake is the Mojave Green there venom is more potent than the other rattlesnakes here
Yes, Mojave Green is very venomous, we made a special video about it: ua-cam.com/video/feqD7ikbyOY/v-deo.html
Amazing!
Could you make some more videos abot grasssnakes and slowworms?
We have some footage of Grass snakes so you can expect some video in the future :) We don't have too much on Slow worm, but we will try to work more on that :)
I have a Rosy boa and it was nice to see their natural envoriment in the wild.
It was our first snake found on a first trip to the USA! Amazing species.
Nice footage but the background track is not appropriate for many of the habitats and species portrayed. For instance, there are no Gila Woodpeckers in Coastal Rosy Boa range (coastal SoCal foothills). It is a nice ambient recording though, but might be confusing for some who know or want to learn bird calls/songs.
Thank you very much! You are right, Rosy boa is from Anza Borrego, but we did not record anything there. We hope that this detail did not ruin everything...
@@LivingZoology Nah, still fun vid and great snake footage, and bird sounds even if not in range :)
@@LivingZoology Wanted to add that I know ambient sound is very tough to capture in So Cal without a bunch of noise from airplanes, cars, etc. You sound track is free of that, which is nice.
@@bradsillasen1972 Yes, also in some places in desert you basically don't get any sound at all, just a bit of wind.
@@bradsillasen1972 Thank you :)
Who could dislike this video? You deserve more view , brilliant videography and excellent presentation.
Not sure why some people dislike it :/ Thank you for watching and we are happy that you enjoyed it! :)
Especially the way folks drive now. No speed limits now.
Give me part twooooooo please 😫😩
Have you watched this? :) ua-cam.com/video/Rq2k4Tzu198/v-deo.html
Your snake videos are the best I have ever seen, by far. You make it look easy, but we know it's not. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! We appreciate this a lot! :)
The thing about Coral snakes, Milk Snakes and some Kingsnakes is they not only look alike but mimic the same demeanor you need to look carefully at the pattern Red on yellow kills a fellow red on black friend of Jack. However in Latin America there are mildly venomous red banded snakes which have exactly the same pattern.
You are right, in South America there are also coral snakes which don't have the typical color scheme like Red and yellow states (for example Micrurus surinamensis).
Agreed Alfa. Surprised to see men free handle these time bombs.
Ah finnaly new video 💕
Love this channel as alwys , appreciare the hardwork guys !
Stay safe
Thank you so much!!! :) There was a video last week also ;) Stay safe too!
@@LivingZoology welcome !
I'll look forward soon 🕺😘
Bitten by Coral Snake identification …if Red Touch Yellow you’re a dead fellow.
If Red Touch Black, You are Ok Jack. Is this true?
This works only partially. If you are not an expert in snakes do not touch any snake with bands. Some non-venomous snakes have red and yellow next to each other for example. In South America coral snakes have various color schemes.
Thanks for another wonderful video. Yours are always so special!
Thank you so much! From our point of view this video is not very special, but we are happy that you like it! :)
Just a fascinating as the venomous segments! I didn't know the coral snake lives in the desert too.
Thank you very much!!! :) Yes, they can! But they prefer the most moist habitats.
Let’s go !
On Thursday :)
Red on black, happy jack.
Red on yellow, kills a fellow.
Another version of this famous rhyme! :) Check out some cool coral snakes: ua-cam.com/video/gq7xWm1-is0/v-deo.html
Since the king cobra and the kingsnake both like to eat other snakes, can you tell me what will happen if a king cobra and kingsnake are going to fight each other? Who will win? Is it gonna be one heck of a fight? Will the king cobra and kingsnake both end up killing each other at the end of the fight?
The big question is if the Kingsnake is immune to King cobra's venom! :D Very probably not, so the King will be an easy winner.
The king cobra is literally about 10 times the size of the king snake. It would have no problem. I’ve seen a king cobra eat a four foot ball python in minutes.
Tyler Mac this is the reason in the desert tonight is
Thank you for watching!
Another fine video thank you. I find it interesting that the mountain king snakes of California, Arizona and New Mexico have warning colors( Batesian mimic)of the venomous coral snake. However they are found in completely different habitats, one in the desert the other in the high mountains. To discourage predators, this species releases a very strong and foul smelling musk. Predators will often release the snake before any harm is done.
Thank you very much!!! Yes, it is indeed interesting complex of mimicry and the history of it must be very cool! Yes, the defense mechanisms like musk and color work pretty well in snakes.
This is gonna be really cool cant wait!!
Glad to hear that! :)
Dis video was uploaded in my birthday
Nice, thank you for watching!
Wood Pigeons and Woodpeckers, in Arizona?
This desert can be loud sometimes!
superb, thanks !
Our pleasure! Great that you are checking our older videos.
Poor snakes Dying on roads not cool 4:36
Yes, it is very sad and it was difficult for us to film it. But we wanted to educate people and spread info about this problem!
Beautiful snakes. Awesome video. May you explain about "Squeeze proportionate to body size" please??
Thank you so much!!! Squeeze proportionate to body size means that Kingsnakes have such a huge power in their muscles compared to their body size that if you take into account their power and size they are probably stronger than anaconda and other huge constrictors.
The way to remember the difference between similarly patterned kingsnakes from the coral snake is by remembering this: Red by yellow, kills a fellow. Red by black, venom lack. Also, when you did film in Arizona, you forgot or didn't find a major species of rattlesnake, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake. That one is said to be closest to what the first rattlesnakes looked like. Slightly smaller than diamondbacks, found mainly near Phoenix and Tucson and can appear in the forests too.
You are right, there is this famous saying about kingsnakes and coral snakes which works in the USA. However, when you go more South to Central and South America, it does not work anymore. Unfortunately, the only Arizona Black we saw was killed on purpose by a car in front of us. That was a very sad moment. We searched for it a lot, but no luck.
beautiful video!!
Thank you!!
I just love the farting hook nose snake! Another non venomous snake that I can’t get enough of is the gray banded king snake. That is a stunner as far as looks go. I’ve also heard coral snakes will also fart when bothered too much.
Yes, farting snakes are very cool! :D It is amazing way of defense! We worked with Arizona coral snake but no farting!
Thx for showing us ,miracle of creature in our world.🌹🤟❤🐍🐍
Thank you for watching!!!
8:45 - Truly amazing. 😂
Thank you for this video, it's beautiful. ❤
Thank you too! We are very happy that you like this video! :)
@@LivingZoology I did very much, thank you. I can't wait to visit Arizona one of these days. I'm from West Virginia and just have always wanted to go and have been learning as much as I can. 😂 Thank you again.
Beautiful video! We were taught as children, "Red and black, friend of Jack. Red and yellow, kill a fellow." This was to differentiate between venomous coral snakes and non-venomous king snakes. I grew up in the Houston, Texas area, where there are some coral snakes.
Yes, it is very famous! It works in the USA, but in South America for example, not so much. We would love to find Texas coral snake in the future!
@@LivingZoology Yes, it's true that coral snakes have different markings depending on their species and where they're located. Hopefully you'll have the opportunity to see some Texas coral snakes on your travels! 🙂
Spectacular , amazing video 🐍❤
Thank you!!! :)
finally a close up videos
Have you see the one from last week? :)
@@LivingZoology meant to say , watch countless herp video , most dont have close up detail shots , i look at the face of a snake first then patterns of the body, lol
@@sdqsdq6274 So hopefully you are happy with our videos! :)
Love your content - can't get enough! Just started making my own herping videos after watching your guys! Can't wait to get back out in the field when we can travel! 👍
Awesome! Thank you! Great to heat that you started to create your own herping videos!
@@LivingZoology Thanks! Only managing a few species at the moment due to being stuck in the UK but theyre great for starting :) Loved your Rattlesnake documentary!
@@fishingandherping7681 Thank you for following our work and we are looking forward to see your videos :)
@@LivingZoology You're welcome and thankyou! :)
God i love north american colubrids
They are very diverse and interesting!
Great video! Awesome snakes!
Thank you very much!!!
Wooow! This is awesome ! but I have a question for you, if non venomous snake like house snake according to non venomous snakes in Uganda, if it's bites you like three times, is there anything wrong will happen to you?
It a non-venomous snake bites you, nothing happens. Only a local infection can happen such as after a bite of any wild animal.
Okay thank you! But what about midly venomous snakes if it bites you any thing will happen?
@@alfazoologist9741 With mildy venomous species you need to be careful as with strongly venomous ones. You never know if you will have bad reaction after the bite. At least from my point of view, it is not worth to risk feeling bad or having swollen hand.
Oh yes! that's very big recommendation for me , because I was like both non venomous and midly venomous has no problems after a bites you.
