    Aw man, that second kingsnake, the one with the chain look to it, was just SO pretty. I also loved the smug face on that rat snake! He looked so proud of himself, sitting in that nest like the king of the hill!! Also, timber rattles have such gorgeous patterns. That was one pretty snake. I loved how your love for herping respectfully showed in this video! Catching that water snake without getting bit was so fun to see, especially as someone who is not terrified of snakes but has a healthy fear of being bitten by one.

    I saw 2 huge black ratsnakes when I went hiking earlier today near an old stone wall. I captured them and took a few photos and released them. Then they quickly went into the wall. They were very docile and never even tried to bite me. Because they were together I assume they were getting ready to mate because they were a male and female. I'm glad they went into the same part of the wall. They were beautiful.

    They have several different kinds of pit vipers down there in Georgia too. In my opinion this guy is a mad man for using his hands to lift up that tin and he doesn't have on snake boots. He should use his head and add safety to his videos. His bad habits could get him killed.

    • @NKFherping
      @NKFherping  2 года назад +2

      It’s pretty easy to not grab or step on venomous snakes. I’ve been doing this since I was a little kid. Do you drive a car? Exponentially more dangerous than anything in this video.

    • @rondellchambers974
      @rondellchambers974 2 года назад

      Doesn't matter how long you've been doing it or claim to have been doing it. You are a danger to yourself. Facts are facts, you getting upset only means CV your pride has been hurt. Pride kills too, so once again use your head and put away your ego.

    The title wasn’t as exaggerated as I thought. Very nice variety of quite large snakes. The first little king that shed in your hand was cute, the second was exceptional and the third was standard. The ratsnake looked happy with this big meal and the vipers were quite chunky and photogenic.

    Have you made it to Snake Road in Southern Illinois during fall hibernation migration September 1 to October 30 yet? 23 different species known to cross. If you are lucky on timing you may see 100-200 snakes in one day depending on how many times you walk back and forth on the road or 20 to 30 snakes per walk down the road.

    Hey man! You single handedly sparked my whole interest in herping. I've liked this hobby for the many times I've tried it so far and made decent finds, ad I started about a month ago. Whilst I've found good spots for salamanders and frogs, never really snakes. I know I shouldn't ask for locations, as those are things you keep a secret, but where do you find so much tin? I'm a fellow north georgia resident as well, so I'm glad you can give me tips on where to find animals in my state.

    First time this channel has shown up in my recommendations. I thought long and hard before I watched it because I didn't want to end up seeing some a$$hole barbecuing snakes or something. I've love snakes forever. I'm nearly 70, a San Diego native, but currently living in Middle TN, so on the rare occasion I see a snake on the road or one comes through my yard, I ALWAYS have to at least try to catch it and say hello! I don't really want to keep one as a pet, so it's the next best thing, communing with the wild ones. And there are so many different kinds of snakes here and sometimes difficult to identify. I'm glad I ended up watching this. I know we've got timber rattlers up here, though I've never seen one, and rat snakes, but I don't know about the others you showed. Fun to see them and to learn what may be around! And I'm so relieved you just have a look, photograph them, and put them back! Bravo!

That baby king snake was so gorgeous, and then the next one was also beautiful! 😃 The variety of snakes was awesome! That baby vulture and the sound it was making was 😯 WOW! A big rattlesnake, a copperhead, brown snake, another mammoth king, and a huge plump over stuffed rat snake! Nice chase and capture of the water snake.......I’m sure it was frustrating not being able to grab it until you knew exactly what kind it was. I was frustrated for you! The red bellied snake at the end was also beautiful (I like black animals). I just cannot say enough good things about this day and I hope you have many more like it! Thank you for this awesome video.......it made my day!!! AWESOME! Have a great night!😄💙🐬🐊🐍
