  • What do you do when your friend calls you and asks you to come with him on a dream herping trip? You hop on a plane, fly to Guatemala and absolutely kill it.
    This trip was incredible. The herps were great, the habitat was amazing, but the real treasure was the friendships made along the way.
    I hope you enjoy the video, check out my FLICKR and Instagram if you want to see photos from the trip.

    bet you're glad you thought a harmless snake was a coral and not the other way around

    Super video, man! I’ve been hoping for some new content from you for awhile and this one made up for lost time! Beautiful photography and beautiful animals! Such a cool trip! Looks to me like 9 out of 10 snakes down there are venomous! Btw, it was cool to see you in Noah’s video last week!

      Yeah I'll admit I've been bad about making videos recently, starting gradschool has made it difficult to find the time. But, I hope I can still get a few videos out a year!

    Who knew? Guatemala = the new Mexico. Hard to pick a fav, but that Bothriechis was just stoopid. Simus = cool as hell too. Funny to see Justin trying the HWD style. Only one HWD. Funny ending, there's a meme screenshot waiting to happen with that "coral snake". bananas and blow lol

      *No thanks we'll stick with what Americans called us in the 50's "The Switzsrland of Central America" anything but the new mexico it's very degrading*

      @@thewarriorofdubstep I'm speaking in terms of herping - Mexico rocks in that regards, so it's really a *compliment* on that level. Switzerland is not the first place I'd go look for snakes, although they do have a few cool snakes for sure.

    Biology Prof here, take students to Costa Rica. Great video. I certainly appreciate your little natural history vignettes; we need people to care about places they may never see and your video certainly helps toward that goal. As much as I really loved your snake finds, that Climbing Mexican Salamander has to be my personal favorite. If I had been there you would have had to pull me away to find more herps.

    Killing it Saunders! I'm so happy you compiled a video from some of the great photos posted to instagram from the trip! I bet it took a long time to go through all those clips and photos. Objects and things are fleeting in life, its experiences like this that you will fondly remember. What a wild trip dude!

      Graham Howe Fer de Lances do, but bushmasters don’t quite reach up that far north.

    *Not going to lie as a Guatemalan I found it disappointing seeing how many of these animals have names after countries like "Mexican" or "Costa rican" it's a little ironic to see even thought the spieces is found throughout various regions... the only excuse to do this is for endemic spieces to the Region or Country*
    *We Guatemalans dont like naming animals or things after outselfs its selfish and annoying to other people groups, Good video by the way!!! Cheers!!!*

    • @SaundersDrukker
      @SaundersDrukker  4 роки тому

      I'm with you 100%. I much prefer names that are descriptive rather than those that are named after people or broad geographic areas. The obvious exception is if a species is incredibly restricted in its range.

  • @mattslev

    Lots of great finds. Seeing Bothriechis aurifer in the wild would be exhilarating. One of the most beautiful vipers in the world. The Crotalus simus was badass too.
    A little piece of constructive criticism: balance your sound. The difference in volume between the blaring music-LMAO at “Bananas and Blow”-and yourselves speaking is jarring.

    • @SaundersDrukker

      Thanks man!
      And sorry for the bad audio, I usually have an external mic, but it did not survive long into this trip.

    What a banger. This trip looks amazing and I love the editing style that you used. That mimicry was indeed incredible. I've always wanted to see a Mexican climbing salamander. so many awesome species. Well done!

    Hey there. I'm applying to Sewanee and I saw that you were a celemander :P I would love to know more about the biology/ecology program there? Did you like going to Sewanee. I have applied to both university of Florida and Sewanee (undergrad) and I would love to know which do you think would be the best.
    Thanks!
