    So glad you came across that alligator, that poor baby was looking thin! I wonder how long it was stuck down there. I love seeing humans being angels for animals. I believe it's why we're here. I pray the poor little cherub makes it and thrives now 🤍

    Thanks for helping me survive 2020. Your videos entertained, educated, and inspired me during lockdown, so much so that I really began doing my own herping in earnest. I found abandoned places, built flip sites, and taught my son about these beautiful animals as we found them. It was a tough year for all, but admiring these animals through your videos and in my own region kept me going.
    Thank you, and best to you in 2021.

I never thought I would be able to watch snakes on a video, let alone feel compassion for them. Happy New Year!

    There's a well like that in the woods near my house. Its about 6 feet deep. Over the years I've rescued 2 emaciated black ratsnakes from the well. I took them home and rehabilitated them for about a month. When they gained weight I released them. Unused wells really are death traps and should be filled in with gravel.

    Obviously great job rescuing that poor doomed young alligator.....who says herpers are annoying pests disrupting nature?? My own experience was not quite the same but during my many visits to the WPB Florida great Arthur Marshall State Park (highly recommended by the way!!) whilst residing for years in Boca Raton, Florida.........I came upon a nest of alligator babies hatchlings that disbursed out all across the busy parking lot. My deal was stopping the numerous cars from parking and crushing these poor newborns but as I did so their nonappreciative guarding mom was crashing out from her nest area near the park's central visitor's center and attacking me as I attempted to scoop up her babies from getting squished from careless driver's car tires!! Fortunately the local rangers showed up and assisted with capturing these babies from the bust parking lot and getting them back into the swampy protected waterways behind this center and keeping mom at bay!! Freaky experience but also a memorable one!! Jim C.
