From Los Angeles, USA to Tokyo, Japan, then Singapore in search of snakes. Found a few cool snakes and met up with friends across the globe, does it get any better??!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve got quite a few snake videos on the channel now and more on the way. Thanks for subscribing, it means a lot. Lou
Cool video. Pity nothing in Narita but around 7 in Singapore. In the UK we only really have the Adder and it’s venomous and tends to bite dogs that go sniffing about in undergrowth or in sand dunes. Great combination of Narita and Singapore with cool editing.
I love airplanes, i love 747s, but I sort of hate snakes as they come in my dreams to bite me. Nonetheless, your videos combining airplane operations and snakes are really fun to watch. Hope the channel grows among avid airplane, 747 and snake enthusiasts! Blue skies, and happy landings!
Fantastic. I love traveling in Japan but hotels seem so much bigger in Singapore. I highly recommend a trip to Vietnam, my wife's home country, in search of serpents. I have seen a few cobras and kraits there
They are on to you now Lou. It's only a matter of time before Disney approaches you with a movie offer. When they do get me a part. Like the evil guy smuggling endangered species that you bust in the movie. Just a thought bro. : )
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately- and I want to thank you- yes they’re entertaining but I’m actually getting over the fear of snakes and now I’m learning about them and seeing them as beautiful creatures and not scary. Thanks!
I just found your cool channel ... First time i see a pilot whois a snakes fan and looks for snakes in the wilderness . I notice you jump right in the action after landing . Do you get enough sleep ?
I'd love to have you as captain on one of my flights, you seem like a pretty cool guy. I'm sure you and I work for the same Airline, I'm based out of LA and often do the LAX-NRT run.
Thanks so much! I actually fly for a Japanese airline. I’m assuming you’re AA or UA? If AA, maybe run into you in the crew restaurant at MyStays hotel...
New to the channel. Captain what plane do you pilot? Assuming 747 by your name but who knows.(My lifelong dream that never came to be, but back in the day when I would have prepared for a career, next to coming out of the military no way a civilian trained would ever pilot a large jet. My how times have changed. Now there are 24 y/o sitting in the first officer seat, long gone are the days of mandatory military careers). Also a snake fan.
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, 747. Been flying the 747 for 25 years. Great plane. I hear you, times have changed for sure. Got another snake vid coming soon. Maybe a flying one too. Thanks for the support.
LouB747 what an amazing job I’m guessing. I envy you but surely you worked hard to get there. Looking for ward to more videos, been catching up on some of your older ones. Either snake or plane well worth the watch.
@@loub747 glad receiving your news, I live in Spain , I envy you so much about your job, I only fly Cessna 150 and 172, but enyoy mayself and about snake near my home have the elaphe scalaris and malpolon monpelier ,in Europe the malpolon is the largest about 2'400 m. every 3 months I go to Bangkok, my wife is Thay. but Now with the probleme coron. no go till Next Decembre, I use Emiretes and Etihap Airlines. A greeting.
I think that I would be wearing shoes or boots while out exploring for snakes! In flipping those metal tins and rocks over ... I would be using a large stick! You never know what will be under those tins! :-)
@@loub747 I envy you, before I fly Cessna 152-172 and sometimes Pipper PA28 only have 1200 houres flyin I supose you have about 15000 or 20000.Sorry my english isn't good I'm spanish, glad yo speak with you,Thanks.
Yeah, I definitely take advantage of my situation! Covid has been slowing things down, but I feel lucky to have a job right now. Hoping for more Hong Kong and Singapore overnights in the future.
@@loub747 I look forward to seeing more videos! I like the video you did around Rosemont IL. I know that "lake" you walked around. Never thought to look for snakes there. No I'm in south Georgia and can usually find snakes every weekend when I'm not working.
@@maconmemories3085 that’s awesome you know that lake. Yeah, hard to believe there are snakes there. Cool you get to see snakes every weekend. Jealous.
@@loub747 I used to go to concert's and Wolves games at the All State arena all the time when you lived up there. Now I'm in coastal GA enjoying no snow, shark fishing, and a lot more snakes! I can finally own copperheads which I have 2.
LouB747 that is what makes herping great! Never know what you are going to see! I actually moved to atlanta 6 months ago so I’m not sure if I’ll be around Santa Cruz at that time haha
beautiful.. in many ways, I wish I was still a snake hunter (commercial) in Louisiana and NM in my early 20's.. I envy you in the old world, I did most of what I wanted to do in the new (long story).. HMU if you come down to San Diego sometime, I have a few spots, might be able to get you on a couple
As a research volcanologist/meteorite geologist your posts have kept me entertained for hours and I thank and admire you. Always educational I really enjoy the way you put your videos together and the information imparted. It does worry me watching you wearing sandals but I guess thats the game. Keep posting and love the Kind Cobra stuff!!!
A volcanologist!? That's awesome. Congrats on that. Yeah, the king cobras. I need to see a few more of those! Maybe in September when I'm hoping to be back in Singapore or Hong Kong. Thanks for the kind words. Comments like these keep me motivated. Move videos coming
Singapore never lets down. As for Japan, it seems you're going to have a real challenge this season. This is exactly like my flipping goes this year. In April I visited my most snakest place for 3 times and got completely nothing.
Hahaha haven’t gotten to the end of the video yet but the shirt is cracking me up. The Alaskan bush sure is looking good. As always, super envious that you get to drive yourself to these places in the 748. Your filming style is great Lou. Another awesome one!
Yeah, classic shirt I got years ago. I definitely try and take advantage of my job. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. More vids from Japan, Bali, Singapore, and SoCal on the way.
I have recently discovered your channel and am already a huge fan! Subscribed after watching the first video I found! I love snakes and planes so this channel is perfect for me!
Thanks so much! I’m in Bali now and found quite a few snakes. Lots of videos coming in the next week or so. Thanks for the sub, appreciate the support!
@@loub747 thanks for the answer. LouB I farm and ranch near Buffalo South Dakota I counted 27 jets today sure I missed some. I have see 9 in sky from my ranch at one time. Lost 17 yearling cattle from that End of Dec blizzard. It seams like. Our weather patterns are dryer wetter winder hotter colder. I'm out here middle of kinda no we're my record count was 57 jets in one day! Just maybe see the way it looks to me!
@@loub747 I am reminded to contact you again can you tell me that breakdown of the polar vortex and extreme weather across the north America continent this week Feb 19-26, 2023 is not caused by jet pollution in upper atmosphere some are claiming the railroad derailment chemical fire in Ohio added to the extreme warm air mass over north pole at 80 thousand ft?
Great stuff Lou, that's a Japanese weasel you saw on the road. Love the headtorching footage around Singapore, you never know what you're gonna find! Look forward to the next video. Cool t-shirt btw :D
12 hour flight LA -> Tokyo, fruitless search, fly -> Singapore -> sleep 4 hours -> 2 red bulls -> couple hour snake expedition, then you fly again? How do you even know what day it is, much less what time? I get that this is your life and profession, but for a normal person I'd be all kinds of screwed up for week with that schedule! As always, awesome content!
Love to subscribe to a guy with personality and I'm so happy I ran across ur page I have never seen you but wow love it
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve got quite a few snake videos on the channel now and more on the way. Thanks for subscribing, it means a lot. Lou
That looked like a Japanese Weasel. Cool little mustelid, and you didn't have to overturn anything to find it!
Yeah, thanks for the ID. Wasn’t sure what it was. Haven’t seen one before!
Itachi is how they call It in japanese
Eugenio Coseriu thanks for that.
Cute weasel comes running down the street
Lou:"not sure what the hell that was"
Lol. I was looking through the viewfinder and wasn’t sure if it was a cat or what. Never seen cute weasels in Tokyo!
Man Im jealous haha. Travel the world and find snakes all around. So cool!
Thanks, I try and take advantage of my situation!
@@loub747 awesome video!
Crushed on this trip Lou,! Sweet vid.
Yeah, good times my friend.
Whatever that little fury dude was... He was cute!
Wow! The pilot's uniform is cool✈️
It's been getting warmer recently in Japan and snakes are better🐍
Yeah, went out yesterday and found a Forest Ratsnake. Video coming soon.
Ross quits his acting career and became a pilot and a snake expert! Love your work, already subscribed.
LOL. Haven't heard the Ross mention in awhile. Used to get the Nick Cage thing too. Thanks for the sub! Lou B
"Snake this snake that, glands here, fangs there, check these colors, yada yada yada"
[Cute little mammal appears]
"Not sure what the hell that was"
Yeah, that's me in a nutshell. All snakes, not much else.....
My biggest fear is snakes..But I'm keep watching video..
Cool video. Pity nothing in Narita but around 7 in Singapore. In the UK we only really have the Adder and it’s venomous and tends to bite dogs that go sniffing about in undergrowth or in sand dunes. Great combination of Narita and Singapore with cool editing.
Thanks so much. Hoping to find a little more next trip.
I just love Singapore. I think it's the most exciting and easiest to live in cities in SE Asia.
Yeah, I love it too. Always a good trip when I get there. I’ll be there again in a couple of days. Can’t wait.
I love airplanes, i love 747s, but I sort of hate snakes as they come in my dreams to bite me. Nonetheless, your videos combining airplane operations and snakes are really fun to watch. Hope the channel grows among avid airplane, 747 and snake enthusiasts! Blue skies, and happy landings!
AAA Dreaming about snakes is a good thing. Face you fear and you will start to enjoy the beauty. I did.
Thanks so much. It’s a strange mix, the snakes and planes. I may split the channel and make more flying vids.
The whip snake and slug snake were pretty neat, hadn't heard of either of those b4!
Yeah, cool snakes for sure. Always fun to see something new.
Fantastic. I love traveling in Japan but hotels seem so much bigger in Singapore. I highly recommend a trip to Vietnam, my wife's home country, in search of serpents. I have seen a few cobras and kraits there
Vietnam would be awesome. Hopefully someday soon. I’ll be in Bali next week. Hoping to see something cool.
Love the editing transitions and all that fancy stuff cool finds man.
Thanks so much. Appreciated
Remember NO snakes on the plane! Especially, if you aren't flying with Samuel Jackson!
Oh, that video is coming.....

That’s awesome to hear. They are beautiful creatures. So many colors and patterns out there. Thanks for the support!
I just found your cool channel ... First time i see a pilot whois a snakes fan and looks for snakes in the wilderness . I notice you jump right in the action after landing . Do you get enough sleep ?
Glad you found the channel. I do get some sleep, a few hours here, a few hours there. Good times!
Mongoose? Weasel? The slug snake was cool, the whip snake ultra cool!! I love those eyes with the horizontal pupils!
Yeah, weasel I’m told. Cool critter! Yeah, love those eyes!
Surprised you didn't set-up your door number to 747. That would be hilarious.
Hmmm, that’s an idea. Thanks. Lou B
Was anybody else tensing up waiting for a snake to jump out at the camera after he flipped all that stuff over????
Yeah, rarely do snakes actually jump out like that.
Goodi video.Hi From Estonia.
Awesome videos Lou thanks! Im currently in training for my 75/76 type, I am excited to join the world of freighters, your stuff always inspires me.

Hey Lou, what kind of light do you use when looking for snakes at night. Looks very strong!
Like always: nice video!
TheJacksnipe thanks! I can’t remember exactly. Got it off amazon for like $20. Rechargeable headlamp, although I rarely wear it.
*_Snakes on a Plane_*
Big time. Maybe I'll do that video next.....
Would love to find a whip snake. Only seen a dead one.
Yeah, they are super common in some areas. Beautiful snakes.

Thanks. I’ll try and put more aviation stuff up. More vids on the way.
Love that t-shirt!
Lol. I never really wear it sadly.
Love yr landings Captain...

Thanks. I was told it’s a Japanese Weasel.
