    My 20 month old daughter loves this channel. Snakes are her favorite and she's always excited for what you find. She asks for sssss and I know this is what she means. We don't do very much screen time in our house, and you're her pick when we do watch! Her favorites are seeing northern water snakes hunting frogs at our local park. She loves your close-up road shots.

    You are correct on mud snakes- I've kept many, and rarely had one under 3.5 ft that wouldn't accept tadpoles and the occasional frog. Never tried juvies on newts, as the ssp in NY is different and I was worried about a difference in the toxins. Have had some hatchlings that would take dragonfly larvae, like red bellied swamp snakes, as well as appropriate sized tadpoles. None ate crayfish, even freshly molted, which isn't to say it doesn't happen in the wild.
