40 in one night is crazy! where in YMS was this? I never went herping there, and I'm starting to consider it even if it's this late in the year. Saw a snake on the way to QTG just yesterday under the rain.
It was quite impressive. I'm afraid I can't publicly share that specific location. there are some interesting species to be found in Yangmingshan, and lots of trails. what did you see on the way up to QTG?
@@wildlifejames a false viper. Spent a few seconds looking at her while waiting for my friend to catch up with me. I had to cross a small pond to chase and identify her, pretty nasty. Can you hint me on where it is?
Thank you. I use a little compact Sony RX100 vii camera. It's small, fits in my pocket, yet takes good quality 4k footage. No fancy camera or lenses, though sometimes I wish I had. Light is a 500 to 3000+ lumen Acebeam. I use Davinci Resolve to edit the videos.
Your face is so close to those snakes. Aren't you afraid of getting bitten? Can you educate us more how to treat a snake while meeting one in the mountain and more about their living habit? Because most ppl in Taiwan tend to kill them first due to lack of this knowledge. Thank you so much for making this video. Its so great!!!
Thank you. That's a good idea. I should make some video about what to do if encountering snakes in various locations. A lot of people ask me. Thanks for the comment, and I am happy you enjoyed it.
@@wildlifejames I love the way you show another side of Taiwan. We r indeed an island with diversity in nature. I learnt so much about how to name those snakes in English and to spot them from your video. Snakes are amazing and beautiful. They shouldnt be treated as evil creatures. You did excellent job. Bravo!!! Ill share your video to my friends and family.
@@hom0815 thank you. I am happy to hear that. My hope is that my videos have a positive impact on people about snakes. It is quite a lot of work to make these videos, especially the subtitles lol, so it is encouraging to hear this.
@@chriskoohk Usually "wild" or stray dogs aren't a problem. They keep their distance. but dogs near s farm/village/house can be a problem. Usually have to face them. if you turn your back they come. If you run then you can be in trouble. they can be problematic when riding scooter
Thanks you, I appreciate the support. I don't do many herping tours, though I have taken a couple of groups of students. I will probably take a couple more this season
@@CaptKenneth Hopefully restrictions will be lifted soon. But I would imagine a few more months. Taiwan has suddenly had it's first real covid outbreak
Hi James, would you say that most of these snakes were spotted close to some sort of water source? And when are they most likely to appear, dusk or dawn? Would like to know what to watch out for if I hiked in Yaminshan at night. Thanks.
Generally if there are water sources nearby, there will be more life, therefore more food, therefore more snakes. Cobras are more likely to be out and about during the day and just after dusk. though I have seen them at midnight too. Generally there are more snakes out at night. As long as you watch where you are walking, there is almost no danger of a bite. The do not attack people
Depends where you go. 4 or 5 in a night is typical in a lot of places. 5 to 10 in better places. There are some spots that just have a lot. especially counting 紅竹絲 haha
Yeah, that is unfortunately often the way. It's "scary" so just kill it. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully more people can become aware that snakes are not terrifying monsters.
原來蛇是一種害羞的動物，看完影片後翻轉對蛇的印象，謝謝你的拍攝和講解
我真的很高兴听到。 确实，许多人认为蛇会攻击他们看到的任何人。 事实上，大多数蛇都很害羞，只想得到一些空間。
紅斑蛇=赤鏈蛇(遊蛇科無毒)、過山刀=烏稍蛇(遊蛇科無毒)、青蛇=翠青蛇(遊蛇科無毒)，這一些無毒蛇遇到危險都會分泌臭液或是酸液驅趕敵人。感謝分享。
燈光反射下的鱗片.......太美了！
yes
謝謝您帶我們夜晚探索山上的蛇～拍得很漂亮～
我很高興聽到你喜歡。 這就是我希望人們在這些影片中享受的內容，以及一些教育價值。謝謝
Nice shot of the cobra!
thanks. they often make themselves quite photogenic lol
拍得太美了！！！
對， 謝謝
Congratulations on 40 snakes!!
yep. thanks, pretty amazing
if could let me photo one …
only one !
I will already so happy 😅

青竹絲跟紅斑蛇好多隻XDD，我個人最喜歡雨傘節 (Bungarus multicinctus)，James一個人在外面要記得注意安全^^
是的，那裡很常見看青竹絲和紅斑蛇。 我也喜歡看雨傘節的移動方式。 我總是小心安全，謝謝:)
Awesome!
Yeah, that night was quite productive haha
😍😍😍😍😍😍
:)
May I know what kind of gears did you bring? e.g. Lens, Cam, Lights, etc. Your channel is really cool! Instant sub.

Yeah, quite an incredible night
James好厲害啊！一個晚上40條蛇！請問這次James也是在涓絲瀑布的小圳步道嗎？是不是往兩旁的樹林去找的？我每次去那裡 都沒有看過這麼多蛇....
抱歉，我无法在社交媒体上公开分享确切位置。 但是，是的，这无疑是一个丰富的夜晚。 它通常不是那么好哈哈。
Cool! New subscriber from Singapore. Do you conduct herping tours?
Thanks you, I appreciate the support. I don't do many herping tours, though I have taken a couple of groups of students. I will probably take a couple more this season
I'd love to get over to Singapore sometime and have a look around
@@wildlifejames might head over to Taiwan soon if restrictions are lifted
@@CaptKenneth Hopefully restrictions will be lifted soon. But I would imagine a few more months. Taiwan has suddenly had it's first real covid outbreak
@@wildlifejames oh no, i have never been to Taiwan before and never knew Taiwan had snakes till I watched your videos lol
Wow 好厲害的影片，感覺你在臺灣很久了對臺灣的山都很了解。下次去陽明山找蛇可以邀請我嗎，我一直很喜歡蛇但都不知去哪找，一個人出發也會怕😂
謝謝你拍攝那麼多以及高品質的影片!
謝謝你。 我經常去山里。 通常我看不出有什麼特別的，但我時不時會看到哈哈。 有時我會帶其他人。 如果你願意，可以通過 IG 聯繫我。 我的 IG 鏈接在我的 youtube 頻道聯繫人頁面上。
James 可以去蘭嶼的海蛇洞探險，一定很精彩😁
oh，我還沒找到了台灣的海蛇。我沒聽過你說的地方。有很多海蛇嗎？
@@wildlifejames 哇 James 那你錯過了一個好地方，google蘭嶼的海蛇洞，或是UA-cam搜尋有相關的影片，你一定會喜歡那裡的😁
@@hugocheng6243 好，我可以看Google。
@@hugocheng6243 謝謝

超羨慕可以看到那麼多蛇，未來希望有天也能跟你一起同行呀。
我並不總是看到這麼多蛇哈哈。 我最近去了同一個地方，只看到了三條蛇。
有時候會帶我們班的孩子看看，有看到一條的話他們就很開心了，三條對我們而言已經是個很棒的夜晚了😁😁😁
是的，當帶新人出去尋找蛇時，即使只看一條也很酷。 幾年前我會很高興只看一條哈哈。
夜晚的臺灣山區也太熱鬧了吧🤣
那是一個特別多事的夜晚。 今年夏天我去了幾次，只看到了三四條蛇哈哈。 但是兩週前我又去了一次，打破了42條蛇的記錄哈哈。 不過主要是青竹絲。
Amazing video. I have a personal record of 4 snakes in one night. Hope it’ll get to 40 some day lol.
Depends where you go. 4 or 5 in a night is typical in a lot of places. 5 to 10 in better places. There are some spots that just have a lot. especially counting 紅竹絲 haha
Do you use a Thermal Camera for spotting?
no, it doesn't work with reptiles. they are the same temperature as their surroundings. no eye shine either. just have to spot them
@@wildlifejames Right, I remember they did teach us that in biology class. If Taiwan ever opens the border again I must visit and see for myself.
@@joebloggs8785 yeah, it's definitely an interesting place for wildlife
2:05是什麼鳥在叫？
黃嘴角鴞
40 snakes ? What a night.
Yeah, it was something special indeed. more than 10 is a pretty good night. 40 was exceptional lol
Chanel youtube yg sangat bagus ,tapi mengapa tidak banyak orang tahu😢
Saya tidak tahu mengapa tidak banyak orang yang menonton. Tapi terima kasih atas umpan balik Anda yang baik.
awesome
yeah, it was pretty epic
好可怕! 以後一個人爬山會更害怕! 都是你的視頻害的! 🤣
陽明山一般沒有那麼多蛇。 您還可以從視頻中看到，這些蛇都很平靜，一點也不威脅，哈哈。 沒什麼好害怕的。
Epic!
yep. 10 to 20 snakes is typical there when weather is good. A cobra maybe one in every 5 trips
Omg 😱
Yeah, pretty epic
Some idiot, my community neighbor, killed a Taiwanese habu, just because he found this snake in our basement
Yeah, that is unfortunately often the way. It's "scary" so just kill it. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully more people can become aware that snakes are not terrifying monsters.
