  • An amazing first day of herping in Arkansas! I had only ever driven through previously, so this was my first time stopping to herp.

    God he has been slayin the snakes!! He has such a good vibe about him, and it really rubs off. I didn’t really feel like I would find anything cool, and a couple days later I found a population of marbled salamanders!! Can’t believe it, I did make a video of it, def my proudest video so far. So thank you NKF, your the man!

      @aquacrystal1122 4 года назад +2

      Squatchy Herper Awesome! I’m looking for my lifer northern ringneck this Sunday here in MA XD
      It’s hard herping up here. I finally made it to a point where I know where to look, so I have a 5 trip streak of garters in every one! 11 snakes so far this year.

    • @adventureswithsquatchy1400
      @adventureswithsquatchy1400 4 года назад +1

      aquacrystal 11 Wow, that’s awesome!! Hopefully you’ll get your lifer Northern Ringneck soon! Herping isn’t difficult in Arkansas, but certain species are difficult to find. You’ll definitely find something if you ever make a trip out here.

    • @aquacrystal1122
      @aquacrystal1122 4 года назад +1
