Really clear description and imagery! I'm surprised the cobra didn't make the Top 10 though - they're the ones I most commonly saw when I lived around Dahu area in Neihu. The hills there are full of them!
Yes, I hear Cobras are seen in that area quite often. If you go walk around at night though, you will start to see how many more other snakes there are. I have only ever seen 3 cobras in Taiwan, but probably 30 mock vipers (which came in number 10). That being said, some areas have more of some snakes and less of others. Neihu has quite a few Cobras, but unlikely to see them in Tiger/Elephant Mountain for example. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it :)
Your vids are in high quality and educational yet interesting too :D I shared them to my friends who aren't familiar to reptiles and they liked it Thanks for your effort !
@@wildlifejames I love 白梅花(Formosa wolf snake) the most. They are so beautiful, love the color and pattern♥ Actually I don't even know they exist before watching your video, so thanks a lot ｡:.ﾟヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾟ.:｡
Love the video and thank you for all the efforts you put into making! This is soooo useful. Its true that people are afraid of things they don’t understand... I am starting to look at snakes differently after watching this! Wildlife is beautiful.
Hi James, I was led to your UA-cam page by some miserable old guy I was talking to on HF radio last night in Timaru, New Zealand... I am in UK. I have spoken with him well over a hundred times over the years, and he is very well known to me. We have closely overlapping interests. He told me about your super-professional approach to film documentary making and I have to agree that he wasn't wrong. Thanks for putting this super video together. I have now subscribed and look forward to seeing more.
Oh, that guy haha. He talks about his radio cronies sometimes. I'm sure I have heard stories about you haha. Thanks for you feedback. I am happy to hear you like them. I will try to keep it up.
Haha, yeah, I checked out the Latin words for pipe and that one just matched the English much better. In fact you can see in the Latin name, the roots of the corresponding English words.
Can be okay still. Sometimes there's some warm weather in November, especially early November. Green Tree vipers and Habus are pretty easy to find year-round. A few other species will be harder to find
depends where you are. in rural areas/villages maybe, but not so much in the forest/hiking trails. Also, this list includes nocturnal snakes. They are just everywhere. I will make a video soon about the common diurnal snakes. they will be included then.
@@wildlifejames yeah. I can send you a picture and video by email if you want to see. Apparently, it is also here in the south. I’m in Kaohsiung. I was walking along the school road at night when i saw it. It was slithering to the road and just about 15 cm from my shoes. It took me a few seconds to recognize it was a snake because it was dark. I thought it was brown and a branch but it had the typical S shape snakes make. Maybe it noticed me and so it went back to the nearby bush/tree near our volleyball courts. Then i took a picture and video (with zoom on, haha). It was green! And had the typical head of a viper (i watch many snake videos on fb 😆), that’s when i googled it green viper taiwan and saw this video. It matched the red tail and matte green description. 😬 i was lucky it didn’t bite when i was walking. 🥲 other students and staff occasionally sees cobras inside one of the school building that handles mice for lab experiments. 😅 our school (zhongshan) is literally beside a mountain, but we often see food thieving formosan macaques and not snakes 🥶
Haha, yeah sound like a bamboo pit viper. I'm glad my video helped hahaha. They are very common. They are not going to come and attack, but they can be dangerous when unseen in trees and bushes. Most bites occur when people grab them by accident when they are trying to grab a tree. I have a friend who was bitten a year ago. She accidentally put her hand on one while river tracing. Cobras will usually put on a big show of hissing and hooding up if you get too close, so they are not usually so dangerous either. Those macaques down in KS are trouble though haha.
@@neomoonprince69 Yikes! Yes that is a danger of vipers. they hide in places. If you are unlucky you could grab one or sit on it. I heard of one woman who accidentally sat on a 雨傘節 and it bit her on the bottom lol. She thought ants had bitten her. Luckily it was not a bad bite and she was fine.

Can be okay still. Sometimes there's some warm weather in November, especially early November. Green Tree vipers and Habus are pretty easy to find year-round. A few other species will be harder to find
影片呈現的蛇，看起來似乎很大隻，但前陣子也終於實際去找蛇，才發現蛇都小小條的XD，能拍這樣清楚的影片很厲害
Thank you❤️
Beautiful Snake🥰
Yes, there really are some beautiful snakes here
So cute!
Haha, yes. Cute indeed.
the high quality is insane comparing to those “cash grabbers”

我還以為第一名是眼鏡蛇🤣🤣
原來是管線😂😂
哈哈，對。台灣有那麼多管蛇
還記得雨傘節5:43🐍🐍🐍還有臭青公🐍🐍🐍🐍
你看到了那種嗎？臭青公在白天是常見，但是在晚上其他蛇比較常見
喜歡你的影片。我也喜歡上山找蛇並幫他們拍照，不過我遇到蛇的運氣真的滿差🥲，青蛇是我最想遇到的蛇種，我猜可能因為我都顧著找地面沒看樹上所以才會錯過他
你去哪裡找他們？ 在溫暖的天氣裡，青蛇通常很常見。 它們通常在樹上不高。 就在灌木和灌木叢中。
@@wildlifejames謝你的回覆，看了你的影片後我也常在台北夜觀，我也順利找到我喜歡的青蛇了這裡面的常見前十名我也基本上都看過了，不過就是沒找到過眼鏡蛇，可以向你詢問一些推薦的地點嗎謝謝

這個影片的是統計上台灣北部最常見的蛇。 我在這裡每年只看到 4 或 5 條眼鏡蛇。 它們在這裡並不常見。 在南部和東部，他們可能會進入前 10 名，但不是在這裡。 近期會單獨製作台灣六大毒蛇的影片。 眼鏡蛇將在其中。
眼鏡蛇其實數量並不多……
