  • The last and possibly best two days from my Colorado trip! This video was the hardest hit by my footage loss, dozens of amazing flip clips that in my opinion would've made this video one of my best. Nevertheless, it is in the past and I hope you guys still enjoy!

    Dude that first coachwhip's coloration was spectacular and his eyes were so pretty, but then y'all flipped that pink/red one and wow! Loved the plains rat snake (rats are still a fave of mine). The other big standout was the racer with the beautiful yellow belly. Amazing vid! ❤

    A different place, much more open country everywhere and many stunning animals. I wouldn’t expect coachwhips to be so common and flipable like kingsnakes in other areas. The plains skinks where nice too. I noticed a lack of dense pit viper populations there.

    And Noah, if you set up enough cover in “Pine Snake Habitat”, you will definitely find them that way. Especially if you dig out some pockets for cooling and comfort, the snakes and rodents will come.

    Those garters were really pretty. My female eastern garter isn't that huge but she is a lot larger than the ones I see in the woods near my house. I might breed mine next year. I gave them a 2 year break. She had 29 babies 2 years ago and she was much smaller then. I don't know how many she would have now. I wish I could get a few captive bred morphs. Eastern garters have so many beautiful morphs now.

    The coachwhip is number one on my bucket list. In California I used to catch striped racers, which I figure are like small coachwhips with stripes, but I've never spent enough time anyplace where coachwhips are "common" to actually find and catch one, except once when I was in Florida I *may* have seen one's tail escaping from me into the brush, unless it was just a black racer which really are common down there.

    • @johngeddes7894
      @johngeddes7894 Год назад +1

      Up north of Redding there used to be whipsnakes; not coachwhips. and they are black with 2 yellow strips on each side no middle stripe. They are a racer and very fast. The one I caught was a little over 5’, a very long time ago.
