    As always, I much appreciate your calm, yet very informative videos. It's nice to see you covering the U.S. One comes to think of North America as blasé & not so interesting compared to Africa, Asia &
    Austrailia. Pointing out that in the continental U.S. we have over 150 species, well that's not too bad, actually. Now, if we can just keep what we have!
    Such events as the Texas Rattler Roundup, & similar yearly events in Nevada, South Dakota, Georgia & wherever else only contribute to the decline of viable species populations. Thank you both, & those who work with you, for demystifying snakes, & revealing to those of us who cannot easily see them in the bush, how they function in their natural habitat. Brilliant, guys.

      ​@@LivingZoology, We have 14 species of indigenous snakes in Connecticut. I have seen most of them, but in over 50 years of fishing and hiking in the woods I have never seen our only 2 venomous species, the timber rattler and copperhead. It is very rare for a human to interact with either of these in my state, although 1 or 2 dogs will typically get bitten every year. Generally, the rattlesnakes in particular want nothing to do with us and stay well hidden; and they don't want to waste their venom on something they can't eat! By the way, apparently we now have a small population of non-native Italian wall lizards in Rhode Island, a small state just to the east of me.

    The snakes of the Crotalus genera have for me the most beautiful head shape of all snakes. The adamanteus have a special look with their dark almost black eyes. I hope that the US authorities consider to protect their rattlers before they will be extinct. The colubrids are also interesting of course. Cheers

    Is it because of their heat sensors or why are pit vipers mostly on high alert when they feel something is passing by? The footage is outstanding as always 👌

    • @limoucheu8522
      @limoucheu8522 Рік тому

      Conjunction of senses, inernal hear (with the using of their dentary bones), vue, viperidae, crotalinae seems to have a lesser good vue than Colubrids and Elapids and of course their Heat sensors pits what allows to target something with hot blood extremely efficiently.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  Рік тому

      Thank you! The heat pits help pit vipers to detect a warm-blooded object very precisely (and we are warm-blooded and walk around the snake when we film it).

    I hope that one day the Eastern diamondback will eventually recover their populations in their native areas once again because they're very beautiful and surprisingly helpful animals as they take on very large rodents and rabbits in their habitats that will otherwise destroy crops and create major loses for farmers as well as cause major increases in prices that are already record high

    I hope the Eastern Diamondback can soon be federally protected in all areas of its range and in places it has been mostly extirpated from.
    There needs to be a lot of public outreach to teach people about the importance of snakes and to respect them as well.
    It’s habitat is increasingly fragmented and needs protection too.

      Exactly so. Plus, it's important for people to realize that having a copperhead or two, or whatever type of rattle snake, will help keep the rat & varmit population in check (to your benefit) more than it will pose a threat to you.
      "Snakes in a Plane" was a movie--& a very funny one at that. But "snakes in your house" isn't going to happen, just because you don't kill every single one you see on your property!

I was raise on a farm and my Grandfather would whip our butts if we harmed any snake for his view was they were free exterminators that he didn't have to pay. And if we came across one you were to let it go on about its activities which was no problem for me cause i ran the other way. It's sad how these animals get treated from the Rattlesnake Roundups which kill thousands of rattlesnakes just for $$ but it supposed to control population but I don't buy it. I tell my kids you see a snake leave it alone and go the opposite direction i want them to learn because you fear something you dont have to destroy it be like daddy and run like a girl.

    I didn't notice the Florida cottonmouth was elevated to A. conanti hahaha,
    I thought they were still A. piscivorus conanti, but in the reptile database, it is still as A. piscivorus conanti by Guyer in 2018. However other places is as A. conanti by Crother.
    Great video as always, I enjoyed to watch it while I'm working hahaha..
