Thank you to all of our conservationists nationwide who work hard and dedicate themselves to preserving our beautiful flora and fauna.
This makes me so proud that people are dedicated to helping the Indigo snake not only survive but thrive.
I live in North Florida just south of the Georgia border in Gadsden county. And I've grew up seeing snakes all my life. I actually got the chance to see and pick up an indigo snake and had an absolute wonderful time in experienceing this rare reptile.
Thank you for this educational video! Being afraid of snakes is lack of knowledge! I preach all the time to stop killing the snakes! And, by the way, the indigo is endangered again in Florida. 😔
Thank you for watching!
I love these beautiful blue/black iridescent Indigos‼️I hope they are successful with the reintroduction of them and the long leaf pines‼️
My favorite snake is the Indigo snake! Large, black, snake eater that's fond of eating Rattlesnakes and other venomous species! Just look how magnificent the Indigo snake is!
Snakes have always been my favorite animals. Beauty grace and efficiency. The perfected reptile. Millions of years of trial and error in evolution lead to a simple design that is capable of hunting all terrain including water, treetops, and inside prey burrows.
Funny thing is people hate snakes but they are one of the most reliable indicators of a healthy ecosystem and are in some areas keystone species.
Outstanding snake videography!
Thank you very much!
They are all beautiful animals just going about their day, taking care of their business. I am so thankful that there are people out there helping them to survive!
The hostess was great with handling the snakes and not nervous at all.
If she was she didn't show it lol
We need more videos like this, so people can become used to their appearance and hear about their worth. Thanks.
I agree with more videos about dangerous snakes and other dangerous animal , This would help more people to get rid of any dangerous animals to make the enviorment safer for future generation , a good proof are the dinasors or other dangerous animals which existed thousands years ago and life is better without them , In my book Human safty and comfort comes FIRST.
Yek Iranparast - The world would be safer and far more pleasant without ignorant people like you.
@42 jade i WILL , if any of these ugly and dangerous creatures comes anywhere near me or my family they WILL BE DESTROYED. It is called SURVIVAL
The narration of documentary was well delivered. Loved the indigo snake.
Thanks beautiful lady for teaching people about snakes, i think we should protect and respect animals because they belong also to the ecosystem. Learning people to be more concerned about animals would have a great impact on the environment, making our atmosphere more convenient.humans have killed more animals than animals killed humans,let's protect our environment and give our kids a better future.
Excellent video. Snakes have their place in the ego system and they are very important to us. The more we learn about them will make us appreciate them a lot more.
Ego...
Thanks Sharon, I enjoyed your video. Very good reporting on a subject that doesn't get enough attention here in the south. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful work these people are doing!
I have one properity at north georgia,see alot snake,tree frog,bullfrog,deers,turkeys,and Iam happy with them,and try care,is different at my country El salvador,I love mountain life..
I love this video so much! Y'all are doing a great job! I wish more people would love wildlife and respect the environment.
Great documentary. The indigo is beautiful. I wish we had them in my area.
Snakes are the most beautiful animal
Corn snakes are excellent pets very gentle
Learned something new today, still afraid of them, and did not particularly like them but learned something to appreciate them. Thanks for the video.
I think our children should be taught better in learning of how to live with nature and to preserve it.
Well said
I got to handle an Indigo a while back at an exhibition. They're smart and beautiful. They need to be protected by habitat conservation.
Lovely video! Really puts into perspective how we actually can and do have a big impact on populations of certain species.
Thanks for the feed back. We totally agree!
"you don't pick up a rattlesnake" .... Words to Live by;-)
Very well made video. Thank you, I enjoyed it.
Thank you for this education film
Boost the Eastern Diamondback population. Their numbers have dropped substantially too, for the very reasons the eastern indigo numbers are.
What a Beautiful,. And informative,.. GREAT video!
Thank you
I love snakes. Great video
Absolutely fantastic video. I grew up in Fortlaudale Florida, as a boy we consumed the encyclopedia our parents bought us in the early 70s. Our common love and interest of my three brothers and I was reptiles and anything having to do with the Atlantic Ocean. We would collect snakes in pillowcases bringing them home for a while handlimg them respectfully then releasing them again back into the wild. We loved wildlife so much as youngsters we all grew up like the late great Steve Irwin. Jaques Cousteau was a big influence upon us also I ended up taking marine biology and my oldest brother has worked underwater all his life in underwater demolition and construction.
Kindest Regards to all..
THANK YOU ALL!
Great video Sharon. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
You guys do cool things but real crazy. Cool but crazy.
Thanks for keeping the snakes alive.
I love snakes
I work in a warehouse in Georgia and they have those glue traps in there. I rescued 2 baby corn snakes so far out of them. Luckily my boss let's me get them out I usually keep them until they shed. I usually use coconut oil to get some of the glue off
We have a good number of Indigos in Suwannee County. I have saw them in my yard , at work and have even recued several who were trapped.
Sharon the "Snake Lady" here in this video is awesome! I love it when I see a woman who does not hate snakes. I feared them as a young boy who camped in the jungles of the Panamanian interior. When I settled in New Mexico, my fear of rattlers was overcome. I have killed only one rattlesnake in 37 years and to this day I regret it. I've picked them up a couple of times just because and have saved many of them from getting run over. Happy snake watching!!!
I love all snakes!!!!!!!!! =)
Ball pythons, corn snakes and king snakes are the top pet snakes.
Snakes are everywhere.. One of them became my bestfriend.
My wife is a snake. Does that count?
We had Timber Rattlers in The Adirondacks. Up to five or six feet. They don't have a long season up there. Tough place to survive. 100 degrees during the summer and 45 below during the winter. Tough place to survive.
I can not stand people that kill snakes just because they are scared of them. So ignorant. Unbelievably frustrating.
Same! I live in an area with a lot of ignorant hicks who brag about killing "copperheads" (probably misidentified, but even if they were copperheads there's no good reason to kill them). And I cringe whenever they tell these stories.
Im scared of them but i don't kill them....
There is not enough money in the US for me to be holding a snake, but you go girl!! ❤
Great video,and narrator you have done a great job on the details of different types of 🐍 ,It is a lot of snakes I have never seen before. I know I enjoyed you'll telling about the 🐍. I don't want to go near a 🐍.
Indigos were everywhere in Kentucky 35 years ago. I've seen them over 6ftlong. Im sorry to
hear they're struggling is hard to imagine because there were so many..
Fantastic video. Very well done.
Cobb county GA got all of these species and more
Born and raised
Douglas Co. GA got them all too
Indigo and tortoise very interesting
Awesome work, Very professional.
We need to do the same for the Eastern Diamondback
I truly appreciate this be blessed
Nice Avatar (James Cameron) music in the intro!
Wow. I've watched a lot of snake documentaries as I find snakes fascinating. I heard and saw corn snakes today for the first time. It's extremely beautiful. It has reignited my interest in snakes. I have lost any passion or interest in anything now gradually. As a kid, I always hate worms and larvae and I'm more scared of them than snakes. Many people find it hard to believe that I'm not scared of snakes and love them but that I couldn't even get close to some worms and hairy larvae. Corn snakes have brought back that passion and memory from my childhood, even though it might not last long
Amazing job,I really enjoyed your video, keep up the good work. thanks for sharing
Nice and amazing..snake😗😍🤔
Beautiful.
The greenies need to take note on back burning. It's vital to rejuvenate the soil and prevent the recent hideous fires in the USA and Australia.
What a nice little documentary. What year was it made?
Thank you for your question! Snakes alive was made in late 2011/early 2012 and premiered on February 22, 2012.
It doesn't matter whether snakes control rodent populations. They simply have the (older) right to live their lives out there. Many people will never understand, but this planet is not our property!
14:10 IKEA "hide box" in that snake rack system. And of course, what a beautiful serpent the indigo snake is.
those snakes are very rare and against the law to caught in my hole life i only seen one in the wild i grow caughting snakes had all kinds of them but never a indigo always wanted one
Go Brad! Go!
WOS - you can go to Auburn....as long as you are still a Tiger;-)
Love
I live in Saint Mays GA, Southeast coast of GA, and last year, I am pretty sure it was an Indigo snake I was chasing in my yard.. I was trying to catch to get a look at it.. but it never tried to bite.. it was about 4.5 to 5 foot.
Snakes are better than humans - I love them
Nice videos.
Glad you like them!
HALLIJUAHA!! SNAKES R KOOL!!
We need Ego dipstick's to leave them alone,go get a tattoo or a gold chain..Love this female journalist,great show..
Should be illegal to disturb any snake,bee,bat,as all are so important and endangered here in United States.
Sharon Collins,great show.,
Hi... I live here in Wilkes County Georgia and I've seen many different species of snakes including the indigo...that one nearly gave me a heart attack...it was about 7-8 feet long and when I almost stepped on it...it vibrated it's tail in the leaves and needles... I just froze and it slowly crawled to the side away from me.
They don't chase people to bite them...Big rumor around here!!!
What kind of snake is that in the thumbnail? It’s beautiful.
Excellent video! I'm a Biology teacher in Mexico and I would like to use it for my lessons. It illustrates so beautifully subjects like conservation, or methods for studying biodiversity. Would it be possible to contribute with subtitles? Thanks.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Animal our planet 🐍
This makes me very sad. One of my professors at Alabama A&M University (Dr. Stone) did an excellent job teaching us about long leaf pines. AAMU is an HBCU.
I really like this video but there was no mention of the pine snake
I have always admired the indigo snake from a distance. I have often wondered if the indigo snake could coexist with a prairie dog communities in Nebraska. If there is any way they could adapt to survive the harsh winter, I believe they could thrive here. Prairie dogs and other rodents species would be an abundant food source for them. However, there may be issues concerning existing native snakes such as the rattlesnake and the bull snake.
@24:13....That is a HUGE Corn Snake!
Snakes and other animals have the ability God gave them to adapt. probably through vision, they take on color camouflage to blend inn to their habitat , over hundreds of generations. Just like wild wolves begin to lose their coat colors when kept in captivity
I love snakes. They are my most favorite creature on God green earth.
People with guns scare me much more than a snake could ever do.
I've had a pet ball python for nearly 20 years and its nvr bit me, shes very gentle...
But, don't be under the impression that it will not bite...,
There was a time when i would kill any snake on sight... Not any more, when you learn better, you do better.
We have indigo snakes in east texas.
TexAN INDIGOS, NOT EASTERN LIKE IN THIS VID, STILL AWESOME SNAKES THEMSELVES FO SHO
I have never killed a snake i have seen different types of snakes in my back yard and i just stair them towards the fence and away from the house i love to watch them the way they move beautiful creatures don't kill the snakes just show them the way out
Well that's good for you. I have owned numerous snakes including a 19 ft 200 lb Burmese python and a Green Anaconda, but I have to admit. Deep fried diamondback rattler is delicious
snakes is cuties and some of em make great pets.
Wtf there scary
@@13ananazz only for them ignorant pp.
manolo manolodlospavos- They're so beautiful-I think of them as some of Gods best handiwork. The patterns and colors! When I got my California king snake, he was as small as a pencil-so adorable, as all babies are.
in arkansas you dont see gardr snake anymore sad
Yes keeping down rodent populations is key . keeping outbreaks of disease and other snakes in check I believe this would work period .
5:52
Why is Steve Nicks holding that snake?
Amazing
Here in Louisiana , it seems we have a decline in all of our snakes.
Too much development in southern regions of La.
We need conservation also.
I live in central Alabama and I hope we eventually get indigo snakes up here. I've never seen one in the wild. We have lots of racers and rat snakes though.
I just seen a 7 foot bull dagger slither across my community last week 😂
I’m not too fond of snakes, but this is some great content!
Session 👥
I am a little while, so I'm sure it was great
That was great.
Please, I like them.

Here, here!
First of all, I live in Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the West Virginia line.
I'm in the Shenandoah Valley, along the I-81 corridor.
And in 1989, I caught a "cottonmouth!"
I know Cottonmouths, or "Water Moccasin," lives to the south... Maybe the Carolinas, but certainly Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
But a Cottonmouth this far to the north has to of been a real rarity at that time. Maybe even now.
I thought maybe this particular snake, may of fallen from a truck along I-81. Maybe at the truck scale, which was not far from where I met this one.
I was in a field, out groundhog hunting on a nearby farm. I_81 was right along the edge of this field. And in the field was a small. but full water retention pond. Maybe it was there to water cattle, or to be used by the fire dept., in the event they had a grass fire out there.
As I followed an old cow path, I watched this snake come from some cattails at the edge of the pond. Its entire body was on top of the water, not all in except the head.
This snake swam over to my side of the pond, crawled up the bank to the cow path in front of me, curled up in a ball, raised its head about a foot off the ground, opened its white mouth and hissed at me!
It was a surprise to me, to see a snake go so far out of its way, to even come out of a good hiding place, and present itself in a very aggressive and threatening manner!
It was a rather 'short snake,' but it was really 'thick, or chubby,' in the middle.
It's coloration was sort of a hodge-podge of browns, greens, and about 6 inches of the tail, was just like the tail of a snapping turtle!
Not normal snake scales, but big, boxy, blokish scales... Like an alligator or turtle!
And when I saw the eyes, they were RED!. Fire engine red, and cat eyed shaped... Not round like black snakes.
I couldn't say for sure if it was a pit or not. But I would assume so.
Well, I did catch this snake. I put the butt of my rifle down on its head and grabbed it around the neck.!
It was opening its mouth to get me and it wrapped it's thick body around my forearm!
Now, if I let go, this aggressive snake was going to let me have it! But I couldn't just stand there with this snake tightly wrapped around my arm!
I didn't own a cell phone then, and was a good ways off from getting to someone that could help.
So I put the snakes head down to the ground and put a .22 cal., bullet right through it!
About a week later I returned to the little pond. I saw the snakes skeleton on the ground, stripped clean by ants I suppose.
What an interesting tale of you antagonizing a wild animal that wanted nothing to do with you, picking up a wild animal that wanted to do with you, lying to yourself saying it was aggressive and trying to hurt you, as it was being defensive because your dumbass picked it up, then placing the snake down that wanted nothing to do with you, then killing it for absolutely no reason, as you were then safe to leave the wild animal that wanted nothing to do with you, alone.
Are you looking for some kind of accolade or something ? A bravo?
Big man killing a snake.....oooo....impressive. With a gun even! Wow. Bfd.
Btw..... Cottonmouths do not occur in the mountainous regions of Western Virginia, many snakes can and will swim on top of the water, not just out vipers, and 100% of snake bites are in self defense. You harrasing a wild animal and then killing it for defending itself......is not impressive in any way. It kinda just makes you an asshole.👍
Have a fantastic day.
