- Coral snakes are among the most secretive and uniquely adapted venomous snakes in North America, but what makes them so special? Let's head to Arizona on a nocturnal herping expedition to try and encounter the elusive Sonoran coral snake!
Special thanks to Zach and Spencer for planning this incredible Arizona trip and keeping me safe in the field, and to Nicholas and Rob for showing us around this amazing area!

Patreon is gone for now...I wasn't able to keep up with an additional content stream, and want to provide a better experience for my fans. Looking into alternatives now.
Thanks to Jonathan Malo (Fesliyan Studios) and Ross Bugden for the Western-style background tracks you hear in this video, and Freepix for the neurotoxin visual!

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I am a professional biologist. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

50K well earned and deserved. Congrats! Fun time with the boys that night. For those wondering if Ben's energy is really that electric? Why yes, yes it is. He brings all the snakes to the road. Enjoyed hanging out.
Thanks man, that night is still in the books as my absolute herping career peak haha!

@@TheWildReportOfficial already did. 😜
Awesome find man! That’s is such a cool and interesting snake. Great that you were able to get it up close for the camera. By the way, I’m the kid that you saw at the Museum of Natural Sciences on Reptile and Amphibian Day.
Thanks dude, they really are such a unique species! Also no way, glad to see you here on the channel.

Thank you, Ben. Beautiful snakes 🐍
They really are amazing. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a wonderful video!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Hope Ben visits SoCal and does a show on our lizards and snakes. The Cal Kingsnake is beautiful.
That would be awesome, SoCal is definitely up there on my list of places to explore!
hey!! You deserve 50k! I want to be a marine biologist and a palaeontologist as well as a herpetologist but idk if I can do it all, I have been watching your videos! And I saw you at the science museum ! I really hope I see you again!🐍
That's awesome, I'm sure you can dabble in most (if not all) of those interests throughout your career if you want to! Or You could be a sea snake biologist that also studies prehistoric sea snakes and combine all three haha
@@TheWildReportOfficial oh wow!
Congratulations on 50K. I know you have put years of effort into honing your videomaking skills- and it shows. This next species clue is a really tough one. I initially thought glass lizard but the head doesn't seem the right shape. Ring-neck snake was my guess but I'm still going with Eastern Glass Lizard.
Thanks so much, really glad to hear that you think the quality of my content is improving! Oh great guess, we'll find out soon!
Hey Ben, love your videos and congrats on the 50k! Here's to your next 50k! One slight constructive criticism from one videographer to another. The graphics should stay up long enough that you could read it twice at a decent speed, especially if it's on the wordier side. At 1:46 and 4:46, those graphics fly in and out rather quickly and I had to back it up and pause to read them.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate this feedback, I'll try to work on that in future uploads.

A modification of a tuberculosis pathogen is used in treating bladder cancer so I’m not terribly surprised to hear of snake venom having prospects for cancer treatment.
Great channel! Thanks!
That's cool. Thanks for watching!
