I used to see several types of snakes around my large yard until the king snakes moved in. But that's fine by me.

Hey there, this is a very cute video showing the emergence of an annual cicada. Annual cicadas come out every year and do not have as long a lifecycle as periodical cicadas (those are the ones with the 13 or 17 year life cycle). All but 7 cicada species in the USA are annual cicadas. Your video focuses on the annual cicada, but you have one picture of a periodical cicada at the end, at 1:40. I think it's important to make a distinction between the annual and periodical cicadas since there is a lot of confusion about them out there. :-) The seven periodical cicada species in the USA are all in the genus Magicicada and they are: M. septendecim, M. cassini, M. septendecula, M. tredecim, M. neotredecim, M. tredecassini, and M. tredecula. (The M. stands for Genus Magicicada). In contrast, the ecdysis you show here is likely from the Genus Megatibicen :-) This one does not live 13 or even 17 years underground. Wishing you wonderful days!

Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

What is 70 inches in normal measurement?

😊

Dragonn

did that JERK of a fox pee on the apples ???

6' is about the average of the large size, but I've run into a couple of these in my life that were close to 8'.

They love to climb trees and go in holes in trees.

Very pretty snake

Well done. At the time I'm posting this you have 110 subscribers, yet 27,000 views on this video. Nice job !

Snakes in the eastern US mimic rattlers by beating the ends of their tales against dry leaves. Black snakes, garter snakes, copperheads, ect all demonstrate this form of mimicry.

This was beautiful! Love hummingbirds and haven't heard that song in about 50 years!

Black rat snakes are good. One of them took care of a problem that I had with field mice getting into my garage. Those snakes are always welcome at my place!!

Very nicely done.

Cute!

That’s a big critter in your catio! How did he get in?

Interesting! Is there a way to design a catio so that no snakes can get in?

That was super cool. I encountered one of these when I was about five years old riding my bicycle. I was scared to death. After describing it to some adults they said it was harmless but to keep a safe distance. Thanks for video.

It is a real shock to put your hand under a hen for eggs and feel a snake. Lesson learned, don't gather eggs in the dark. No snake is welcome around chickens.

they can climb brick walls , electric poles , get in your car , in your boots , caught two mating in my back yard ....

I had one in my house one time. I just let it live inside. He surprised me a few times. After telling about him nobody would come over. So I had to let him go.

I had the same problem so I mixed a pint of mineral oil with a bottle of carolina reaper pepper powder and painted the entire baffle with it...coons won't even touch the baffle anymore.

What a beautiful snake AND a wonderfully beautiful lady !!!!!!!!

Beautiful and peaceful looking Rat snake:) Since many people mistake this snake, a rather harmless non toxic danger as a dangerous moccasin, maybe if you find the time, do a short video to see them side by side to learn what differentiates one from the other:)

That's a large and beautiful snake, Bertha. I wish he was here on my property, as I have attic rats. He'd take care of them quickly, I'm sure.

It looks so much like what we call in Miami the Black Racer or the Everglades Racer.

We have a few black rat snakes that help control the rodent population around our farm. Some of the females are well over eight feet. I spotted one particularly large female crossing a twelve foot gate. She spanned nearly the entire gate. I don’t kill snakes I find, but I do relocate any that are close to the house because my wife is deathly afraid of them. My eight year old worries me because he loves to handle them, but doesn’t know which are venomous. I always know if he’s found a rat snake, though. He will smell like their musk. 🤣. He brought a juvenile skunk up a few weeks ago and it was very difficult to explain to him that we aren’t allowed to keep wild animals as pets in our state. He thought I was lying! 😝

I have seen a Black Snake eat a HUGE Copperhead in my friends yard several years ago😳😳 I DO NOT like snakes BUT this is a good one BUT don’t come into my yard☠️

Great video on a worthy subject. Really enjoyed enjoyed seeing the Rat Snake's movement across the top of the fence and the successful transition to the tree branch. Learned something new today. Thank you!

Super cool to watch the snake move across the metal fence pole. Awesome, interesting video!

That's a neat experience, especially to have one in the backyard. When we're back in Eastern Ratsnakes territory, they are always a favorite to find.

Oh Wow! Beautiful Garden Friend 🐍

That's not a Black Snake...that is a Rat Snake and its locomotive is not quick. A Black Racer is quick.

Yeah. I like blacksnakes. I have one around here.

We have a black snake that lives in our shrubs along the house. He frequently visits our water feature in our flower garden. He has been here 7yrs and seems dossil. But we never intervene with him. We welcome him every spring. And we call him Norman.

Beautiful animal

Back in the 70s when I was a kid, I had a 6 footer named Vincent.... Miss that snake....

So magnifique ❤Merci ❤I’m in love forever ❤🎉❤🎉

Awesome and cute video!

Our yard was overun with voles till a 5ft black snake moved in,no more voles.😂😂

My grandmother was an absolute snake assassin with a garden hoe. I’ve had success with a bush axe.

They are beneficial 2 us.

Oh hell no😮

Beautiful serpent!

Yay! The robins are coming back. Spring is around the corner. Looks like quite a buffet set out there. Thank you for sharing your backyard!

Nice shots of this lovely Colubrid....

I Hate Snakes !

10 to 14 years old in the wild is pretty high.
