    I used to find those white frogs in my outdoor grill on the 2nd floor of my condo in Asheville often. It got to the point where I had to check always before cooking.

    The Copperhead used to be my favorite snake, due to how pretty they are. Then I met Bully, a 4 and a half foot long Gaboon Viper. Wow, the colors that this snake had plus it patterns, made it easily the prettiest snake I've ever seen.
    Now there are some snakes that look like a rainbow, depending on how the light hits their scales. Those are pretty too, but the Gaboon Viper is like this no matter how the light hits them.
    This doesn't mean I still don't love the Copperhead. There will always be a place in my heart for them. They are native to where I live, but due to all the new neighborhoods being built around me, I don't see as many as I used too. They used to be everywhere and now if you see one in a month, you are very lucky.
    Like always, great video. Take care and be safe.

    I'm surprised you didn't see any five lined skinks out basking. My pet five lined skinks have been basking a lot lately. Especially all of my females. I think that some of my females are in the early stages of being gravid because they are noticeably gaining weight. There's still a lot of mating activity still going on too. That's why I love keeping them outside, because they go through the same natural cycle that the wild ones do. Too many people who keep them for pets keep them inside in an aquarium. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that as long as they are kept correctly but you are unlikely to get any breeding behavior because they get the same cycle throughout the year and aren't exposed to the natural seasonal cycles that they would get outside. I can't wait to get more babies to release on my property this year. Now I'm starting to see large adults on my property which is awesome. It's only been about 5 years since I've stocked my property with them. They are a beautiful native lizard in my opinion.

    • @NKFherping
      @NKFherping  5 месяцев назад +1

      Have you tried going to local parks? Literally every park in Atlanta has Kingsnakes and other common species, they’re just not as easy to find as it look in these videos because years of work and experience are being condensed into a 15-20 minute video. The bigger the park the better, and the further from the city you go the more diversity you’ll see. Sometimes smaller parks are actually easier to find common snakes in because they are condensed due to development. I don’t condone sharing specific spots because they’ll be overrun with people, but be persistent. May is a great month. When we get into June snakes will become harder to find due to the heat.

    Silly question. Is there some tin-flipping etiquette…? Your friend seemed disappointed that someone disturbed his stack. It’s not “ legally “ yours” I guess…. But at least they should have restored it to it’s proper position…?

    • @ddscott12
      @ddscott12 5 месяцев назад

      My rule has always been, if I stumble across someone’s tin while hiking, I can flip it, but you should always put it back exactly as found - not only to be polite to the person who put it there, but also so as not to destroy the micro habitat for snakes that may be using it. Hope that helps 👍
