Love that macro lens. It really enhances viewing. Those newt babies, too cute
Tip for good up close video of male frogs in voice when they are timid. Get up close, no ligts and no motion and wait for them to sing. Record on your phone. Play them back at full volume and other males will sing no matter what you do with lights and up close video.
Coooooooool
Awesome video!
Good video 📹
I would love to see more night videos. Seeing all the weird animals that come out at night.
Less go! Love your vids.
I am so ready for SNAKES - it’s that time
I really enjoyed the diversity of the early spring critters. This just made my day.
Up here in NY (Long Island, more specifically) it was looking like spring. Heather is in full bloom, crocus are up, and flowering trees are close opening. Months ahead, not weeks. With that said we’re having our first real snowfall (2-5 inches). By this time last year we already had a foot, which is not much for a typical winter. Normally by now we’ve had feet of snow fall. Typically 2-3 feet of snow in a season. Looks like this week it will be winter again here.🤷🏻♂️
I'm over in Westchester county, just north of NYC. I saw a Brown snake in mid November. Definitely been a mild year
Awesome! Thanks
Awesome video and this is probably the earliest I have ever been. I loved this video and what I learned! I do not know much, if anything about salamander life stages and egg masses. I really didn’t know that young salamanders had gills and looked like that. I also didn’t know about the american toad eggs......I think I may have seen them and didn’t know what they were. I just love learning stuff from you! Thanks for this video and I hope you have a great week. Happy herping! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍 oh, the close up of the salamander eggs was amazing!!! 😃
Thanks! That was a nice yard snake!
I'm happy the herping season is approaching
DUDE that blue salamander egg footage was incredible
I just flipped my first snake of the year today!! Here’s to a great year!🎉
This could be us but you playin 😂
I'm only a county or two away from you, how do you deal with the uptick in mosquitos after putting out those kiddie pools?
If done correctly a mini ecosystem will emerge with dragonflies using the pond as well, eating the mosquitoes. Amphibian larvae will also eat mosquito larvae while they’re in the water.
It's a miracle the Black Racer didn't bite you. That was one angry reptile.
Nice racer and surprisingly calm.
Probably because he was getting out of hibernation.
Actually many toads will prefer bigger ponds with fish, because there is less competition with the other amphibians that need the smaller water bodies, and also their eggs and tadpoles have already been supplied with toxin by the mother and are inedible by most fish.
In Europe, the common toad is well known for breeding in larger ponds with fish.
This doesn’t apply to all toads.
69 species?... Nice!
I remembered when I use to catch snakes and other animals. I vow to do it again once I return to Ohio.
It looks like an illusion with all of those ants
I wore shorts too in the Mozarks, but I won't Friday.
Finally the first comment here in pa we got a bit to go
And first like
What macro lens are you using? Is it a phone attachment? The macro videos are extraordinary!
I wish I got a glimpse at the fish, I'm kinda interested in all the obscure little fish but if the pond has larvae like that one then salamanders won't bother because all the bugs alone would devour the little salamanders, you can't really blame fish. Dragonfly larvae, water scorpions, giant "toe biters" and diving beetles and many more are surprisingly voracious but them and their prey can't survive if it freezes over or dries out. They'll be wherever the tadpoles and minnows will be, salamanders steer clear of that environment for many reasons. There's no big fish in the shallows where they'd hypothetically hide, just terrifying alien-like monstrosities.

This was a really cool video! Did you ever figure out what those larval salamanders were?
No way to say for certain, but I’m 99% sure Marbleds.
@@NKFherpingI may be wrong but, I thought marbled salamanders lay their eggs on land?
@@Holden_Crittersfrom what I remember from older videos, they lay the eggs on land, but in places that will later get flooded... so the larvae would develop in these temporary pools.
@@bluerbsi2341 oh, that makes sense. thanks!
that newt is square 12:06
Have you ever been to 'Snake Road'? If so, do you have video?
Not yet!
That would be a awesome trip! Hope you get to go one of these days!
It has been awhile since I've watched one of your videos, did you get a new camera?
Probably, I’m using an iPhone 14 pro and GoPro Hero 10 now!
@@NKFherping Woah! No wonder the quality is so good!
You know what uses my kiddie pool? Mosquitos. The bastards. I'm here tryna see toads and frogs and stuff, and I get evil little blood-suckers. 😆😑
Gambusia
Are you not worried about any potential bad bacteria in that pond?
Why would I be? It’s nowhere near as disgusting as every door handle, gas pump, or public restroom I have to use.
@@NKFherping lol good point. I’ve just always been afraid of pond water or lakes because of an experience I had in North Carolina where a young girl passed away due to simply getting water in her nose and the bacteria got to her brain, scares me!
those salamanders were axilotils
thos salamanders are calld axoltol
