    Your videos are always fun. The imperfections only make it more real for me. I prefer the rough cuts to the polished presentations. Thanks for sharing your walks ...

    Thanks for the video, it is wonderful how you carefully handle the snakes so they don’t bite you. I live in Orlando Florida, I see a lot of black racers in my yard, l leave them alone but they are beautiful to look at. Stay safe.👍🇺🇸

BTW, never get tired of Subocs btw, and Long-nosed. West TX herps are my favorite in NA, and I haven't even been there ...yet.

    I really need to get out to the west coast. I don’t know how common any of these snakes are but coming from NC where we see ZERO of these kinds of snakes, these guys are all super super gorgeous. It’s so amazing how you get to travel and find so many incredible species! Hope I can do the same one day.

    I found a rat snake and after watching your videos I felt comfortable knowing what snake is venomous and witch one is not. So I found the courage to pick one up.
    I'm in room 23 at Kaiser, they said it was a rattlesnake!😁jk

  • @ross6519
    @ross6519 4 роки тому +12

    My guess for that garter snake is that it’s trying to break through its shed by rubbing against the rough asphalt. It coiled up when it figured out you were there.

    • @safron2442

      Safron i wasn’t too sure either, but it’s the only time I’ve seen other snakes perform such a behavior. I wasn’t there so I can’t really claim to know what it was doing but it’s the best thing I can think of to explain it.

    i have a question for you. i know this doesnt really apply to this spot, but where do you go to find your field spots? do you just stop at peoples houses and ask for permission to look around? all my spots are just national parks or reserves and most of the time im finding no snakes. Im from ohio if that helps. i have no idea where to go to find spots
