Really enjoy your travels, Lou, and the snakes and big airplanes. Plus watching your daughter grow up - I got three of 'em and three granddaughters. Lucky!
Wow, banded krait was way cool, but man I am always blown away by those bright green snakes. That bamboo pit viper is so ultra green. Wow, a lot of cool snakes here, rat snakes and the keelback. Good stuff dude!
Thanks so much. I've got probably 100 like this one, with different snakes, if you find yourself looking for something to watch. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Yup, definitely a big old puffball! Some are even edible, which I imagine would be way more mushroom meat than anyone would ever want to eat in one sitting. That tunnel seems like a really nice spot for diversity. I'm excited to see what else you come across there.
OMG! You fly for All Nippon Airways Cargo??? I’m soooo jealous that you love herping and u get to fly around the world the world looking for herps.....HOW AWESOME IS that!!! I’m living vicariously thru u...
Firstly, that looked like an overripe giant puffball. We have them up here in BC - I’ve occasionally seen them slightly larger than a large watermelon. If you find them when they are still solid white inside, they are good eating - either fried or cubed up in a stew. Very cool and very beautiful snakes! That krait was unreal! Man, you’ve got guts to go herping in Hong Kong!
Woah. The Banded Krait looked a lot like a banded California Kingsnake. Thing was way cool. Also looked like you found quite a few other snakes as well. Sweet stuff, man.
@@loub747 that was awesome and love the snakes your caught it this video with the b747 engines firing up and the music was just awesome. Where do you find your music?
That reminded me of an old Stephen King movie Creepshow. A farmer finds a meteor in his field and when he touches it he starts growing green fur all over his body. Great video!
That's a tough one. The Banded Krait and Radiated Ratsnake were both firsts for me. I picked up the Rat and it was a really beautiful snake. That said, there's something about that Krait. The green on the Pit Viper is also stunning in person. So vivid. I guess I'd say the Krait, mostly because of how deadly it is.
@@loub747 I found that krait snake in front of the door of my house at night. I got shocked as if he gonna bite me. I would like to know more about that snake. Or else shall I revenge to him?
He wouldn’t bite you unless you stepped on him. It is an extremely venomous snake however, and something you might not want around your house. I wouldn’t try and move him yourself. Most snake bites occur trying to move or kill a snake. Seek help if you want it relocated.
@@loub747 I was almost about to step on him unless I used mobile flash light. I am helpless to send him away from me because I am living in a forest of delta region in Asia. I am praying not see him again. 😰
whereabouts did you see these snakes in hong kong? i'm a regular hiker there and thanks to your educational videos i prob wont freak out (as much) if i see one now.
What a fantastic herping spot! So many species in one area. I've been looking all over the place (day and night) in Sichuan China and i have only found 3 snakes in about 3 months time. Perhaps i wasn't looking in the right places though, I also don't get how you are cool with herping alone at night lol
Yeah, it's such a great spot! Try and find a spot where the snakes get trapped at night. Canals are good. Yeah, herping alone at night can be a bit creepy at times. Good times!!!
Lol! I thought you were going to the hospital in the beginning. You know things are going well when keelbacks are like garters. Dude! Congrats on the lifer, what a cool looking snake.
WoW! Nice herpin' safari, Lou.! With all those Rat Snakes around, can the KING be far behind? Have you ever seen a Tonkin Pit Viper in the bush? Good work!
Thanks. I was hoping for another king. I don't think I'll ever see one like this first one I saw.... ruclips.net/video/RECtzo-E0JEI/видео.html'll be looking for that Tonkin Pit Viper. I haven't seen one....
Kraits are very gentile (as to my educated knowledge)....I’m so jealous. When I used to keep herps, I was one of the first people in the United States to Brean Gonyosoma Oxycephala...(Red Taieled Green Rat Snake....
Yeah, definitely a gentile snake. Very mellow it seemed. I'm hoping to find my first red tailed rat next week when I'm in Singapore. I have yet to see a wild one. Fingers crossed.
That's the hugest puffball mushroom I've ever seen! The ones I see locally never exceed the size of a tennis ball. I've heard they're actually edible, though don't quote me on that.
Could it have been a meteor? It did have an odd look to it, not really sure what it was, might have been worth collecting and having analyzed my somebody, could've been nothing could've been something really cool
Wonder why from 0:05 to 0:45 no one mentions what you found or what it might be maybe. Maybe the government deleting everyone's messages lol. It does look like a meteorite LOL, maybe it is a fungus I doubt it, or a hornet's nest. It sure is something weird. Has anyone figured out what it is? By the way funny trick Lou at the end of it, lol haha. You got me 😂
Halloween's been over, and I know I was messing around with posts, and I apologize for any you don't think are appropriate. I call myself a Christian; but every once in awhile, I like to joke around. Although I don't care for the phrase leave it a loan because it doesn't make sense to leave a snake a loan when they wouldn't do anything with the money if you loaned them any.
It's actually a Radiated Ratsnake, also known as a Copperhead Racer Coelognathus radiates I've seen Striped Keelbacks in Singapore. They do look similar...
It's something that an 👽 creature dropped off. LOL I've read that when people put LOL, most of the time, they're not really laughing so I guess I'm in the minority because I was laughing at my joke. It's like I've seen these RUclips gossip videos about aliens and spheres found that they say aren't made of any of the elements of Earth so I couldn't resist.
I appreciate that. Interesting that it has so many names. Racer/Rat. A very cool snake. A little pissy at first, but easy to handle after awhile. Love the website.
@@loub747 hope you get back soon, season is slowing down but Copperheads seem to be out in numbers right now. Heading out tonight for a run, hoping for some of the cold weather species!
I used to herp years ago as a teenager believe it or not in NYC Bronx & found many garter snakes and eastern brown snakes I believe and brown leaf snakes don't know exactly. People don't believe it cuz it's so Industrial but it was an East Tremont by Bronx Zoo. wish they had RUclips at that time. then again I got a good excuse to Herb again my son loves it as well he's 9. so maybe we'll start making some vids on Matt rocks games as RUclips or Matthew rocks as RUclips. check it out, comment like & subscribe
LouB747 you are so cool I’m a huge fan you should do more collaborations with loopy toopy (Isiah) and you should do one with Smetlogik but anyway I really like your videos
Животные
Sorry, forgot to mention that the giant puffball is a fast growing type of fungus!😊
Cool travel and herping footage. Like the way you progress from flying to hotel and into mother nature. Love your videos thanks for sharing man.😀👌
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. It’s my pleasure to share the experience. I have a couple good videos in the works! Lou B
I love when you combine both herping and flying videos..pretty cool stuff Captain!
Thanks. I'll try and do more in the future. The airline sorta frowns on cockpit footage since the "airdrop incident".
Always great videos, keep 'em comin'!
Thanks so much! Should have another video out soon.
Awesome video lou as always!!!
Thanks Peter!
Really enjoy your travels, Lou, and the snakes and big airplanes. Plus watching your daughter grow up - I got three of 'em and three granddaughters. Lucky!
Thanks so much. Congrats to you and your beautiful family! Lou B
Some really cool finds!!! Good variety and some real pretty color/patterned snakes!!! U found more n 1 night than I found all year long
Awesome video! Thank you very much sir!
Thank you! It's my pleasure to try and share the experience
You really struck gold in this one Lou! - stunning creatures, topped by the krait - great video Sir
Thanks so much. Lucky night!
Wow, that's an awesome trip!! Made my day!
Thanks! Good times!!!
Such a cool place to visit! You faced so many cool species and I can't even tell which of them I like more. It was really great!
Yeah, love HK. Definitely hard to pick a favorite in this lineup!
Love it Lou, no other content like this out there.
Thanks so much. Hoping to get some more videos up soon.
Friggin' awesome man!
Thanks Jeff! I found a few more snakes, but couldn't video them.
great video as always! i believe that the mystery sphere is a puffball mushroom, they explode like balloons full of red powder when stepped on
Thanks! Interesting. I figured it was some sort of shroom. I should have stepped on it!
Awesome, too awesome for words.
Thanks so much. Good times!!
Wow, banded krait was way cool, but man I am always blown away by those bright green snakes. That bamboo pit viper is so ultra green. Wow, a lot of cool snakes here, rat snakes and the keelback. Good stuff dude!
Yeah, I love green snakes too. The bamboo pit and the greater green in HK are so vivid! Good times Ian.
Great video! First time watching ur videos. Love ur love wildlife. Very interesting

I’ve never seen one before. Large shroom for sure. Yeah, great spot for sure.
Awesome finds!
Thanks so much.
That's my brain @0:2x, amigo....Thanks, my wife has been looking for it for years now.
That krait looks like something out of a bond movie
OMG! You fly for All Nippon Airways Cargo??? I’m soooo jealous that you love herping and u get to fly around the world the world looking for herps.....HOW AWESOME IS that!!! I’m living vicariously thru u...
Thanks. I try and take advantage of my situation. Will be in Singapore in a few weeks looking for another Blue Coral Snake. Will see.....
Way cool! I love you Halloween stunt! Please keep safe!
Thanks. I wasn't sure what I was thinking. I will. Thanks again.
Man that’s a lot of snakes. Awesome finds and great video. Such cool biodiversity there.
Thanks so much. Got lucky on this trip. Love HK.

Woah. The Banded Krait looked a lot like a banded California Kingsnake. Thing was way cool. Also looked like you found quite a few other snakes as well. Sweet stuff, man.
Yeah, Cal King for sure. Interesting snake. Yeah, the Radiated Rat was a lifer too. Did you score in Georgia?
That transition from the mirror to the engines spinning gave me goosebumps. Great video.
businessbuilding1 thanks so much. You might like some of the transitions in this one...

Yeah, maybe that was in the back of my mind. Thanks so much!
Yeah he's all itchy (I barely remember this) that was Steven King as the actor though.
Your daughter is so lively and cute!
Thanks. Didn't know she was walking up behind me. She likes being in the snake videos.
Wow... Just wow... Extremely jealous... As always... But great finds man! They were all so beautiful!
Thanks so much. Got lucky on this trip.

@@loub747 Respectable.
Great snakes! Truly awesome! Happy Halloween to you y’all too!
Thanks so much. Happy Halloween to you and yours.
Lucky lou, krait is a jewel. Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks. It’s my pleasure. Found a Yellow Lipped Sea Krait and Malayan Krait last night. Videos coming in the upcoming weeks.

Some very cool snakes. I've heard that kraits can get more aggressive at night, but that one seemed pretty chilled.
Yeah, he was totally mellow. Tried hiding his head when I picked him up....with tongs.
Awesome camera sir........
Wow that jump scare whas pritty cool and awsum snake
Not sure what I was thinking with that. Something different. Yeah, cool snake for sure.
Great video
The viper has such incredible color
Thanks lou always fun.
Thanks. Yeah, such a vivid green. I wish I didn't have camera problems. I would have definitely taken more video of it.
@@loub747 lou i live in southwest flotida and you are inspiring me to look for snakes in my own back yard really cool
@@loub747 also tell your family happy Halloween
That's awesome. A lot of cool snakes where you live. Keep me posted as to what you find
Thanks. Same to you (and yours?)
Heck yeah dude! Awesome snake, almost as good as that King Cobra ;-)
Thanks! Yeah, gonna be hard to beat that king.
it's a power box for a lighting element. It's made to look like a rock.
that is one nice healthy looking Krait!
Yeah, that it was.
So many snake in that cave sir...amazing
Yeah, great spot.
Thanks for never bringing anything like that Krait back with you on the flight! 😅
Yeah, that would be a bad snake to have escape on a plane.
Hey,did you find any egg rolls over there??
cool :)
Thanks!
Fukushima boulder. You're peace dude. Nice knowing you.
Nice knowing you too.
whereabouts did you see these snakes in hong kong? i'm a regular hiker there and thanks to your educational videos i prob wont freak out (as much) if i see one now.
Never seen a banded Krait before. (I'm not familiar with the Krait at all.) That was a cool looking snake.
Yeah, kraits are some of the deadliest snakes, as far as venom strength goes. Pretty timid though
What a fantastic herping spot! So many species in one area. I've been looking all over the place (day and night) in Sichuan China and i have only found 3 snakes in about 3 months time.

Wow, you had a great night! 5 snakes and one of them banded krait!!!
I know, right. A night to remember for sure. I may be getting some long SG overnights in 2019. 3 days. Maybe I'll sneak up to KL.....
@@loub747 cool!
Got that Nicolas Cage vibe working for ya
Lol, I haven’t heard that in awhile!
Lou,....what camera did you use to zoom in on the snakes ? Brilliant video , THANK YOU !
Thanks. Sony ax53 camcorder
Lol! I thought you were going to the hospital in the beginning. You know things are going well when keelbacks are like garters. Dude! Congrats on the lifer, what a cool looking snake.
LOL, I'm not sure what I was thinking. Yeah, those keelbacks were everywhere. Saw 3 or 4 total. Thanks!
Smetlogik and LouB474 you guys have gotta do a collaboration you guys are awesome
@@barbecuestation6502 I hear you man, we've tried a few times, I'm sure we'll cross paths sooner than later. Lou's a good dude.
smetlogik that we will. I’m counting on it for 2019.
Yeahhhhh that’ll be awesome thanks LouB and Smet
What's the snake supposed to do with any kind of loan?
Even far more beautiful than the snakes, she should be in every video !😂
She’s in a lot of them.
WoW! Nice herpin' safari, Lou.! With all those Rat Snakes around, can the KING be far behind? Have you ever seen a Tonkin Pit Viper in the bush? Good work!
Thanks. I was hoping for another king. I don't think I'll ever see one like this first one I saw....
ruclips.net/video/RECtzo-E0JEI/видео.html'll be looking for that Tonkin Pit Viper. I haven't seen one....
I remember that golden King well. That remains one of your best episodes. Don't go lookin' for that Tonkin Pit in anything open-toed.
Sorry, I wasn't sure if you had seen that one. Yeah, I hear you about shoes and the pit. Tough to spot until its too late.
Did you find all those snakes in this one cave? Gosh..
Kraits are very gentile (as to my educated knowledge)....I’m so jealous. When I used to keep herps, I was one of the first people in the United States to Brean Gonyosoma Oxycephala...(Red Taieled Green Rat Snake....
Yeah, definitely a gentile snake. Very mellow it seemed. I'm hoping to find my first red tailed rat next week when I'm in Singapore. I have yet to see a wild one. Fingers crossed.
Shoot that last Rat snake looked like one of the Beauty Snakes, Taiwanese, Japanese or others.
Yeah, very similar looking.
would you mind telling me where is the exact spot youve been ? i also live in HK ~ Great video and thanks~
Sorry, I promised I wouldn’t say. I hope you understand. It’s not my spot to share.
@@loub747 it's all good i understand ~
That is an alien device sent to this flat earth by the Marshians :o
That's what I thought, but was afraid to say it. :o
Looks like a nickle/iron meteorite. If so, valuable.
Yeah, I wish! That would be awesome.
Have you started herping yet this spring, I finally can feed my king cobra now cheap,he has a taste for copperheads
🌹🌹🌹
Good times! Lou B
Was that in the same Region you found the golden Cobra some Time ago?
Same general area. That's all I can really say on here. I hope you understand.
What's the temperature there at that time?
Probably 22 - 23C.
Maybe thats Allien staff sir
That's the hugest puffball mushroom I've ever seen! The ones I see locally never exceed the size of a tennis ball. I've heard they're actually edible, though don't quote me on that.
Yeah, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve heard the same about eating them, but I think I’ll pass.
I've seen them larger than a loaf of bread , they are edible if you get them while white and firm, not St the stage this one is in😆
My comic book dealer is the inspiration for that one because it's true.
Could it have been a meteor? It did have an odd look to it, not really sure what it was, might have been worth collecting and having analyzed my somebody, could've been nothing could've been something really cool
I'm told it was a mushroom. I'm sure that's what it was. Strange though....
@@loub747 yea I kind of felt like a moron after reading some of the other comments lol, to me it looked like a rock
I tried to make it seem a little more odd than it was. I sorta knew it was a fungus of some sort. Never seen one like it before though.
Incredible Krait,amazing to think how this little animal can kill you with 0.5 sec bite
Yeah, it really is amazing. Respect.
4:20 Lou why did you interrupt a dancing snake
Wonder why from 0:05 to 0:45 no one mentions what you found or what it might be maybe. Maybe the government deleting everyone's messages lol. It does look like a meteorite LOL, maybe it is a fungus I doubt it, or a hornet's nest. It sure is something weird. Has anyone figured out what it is? By the way funny trick Lou at the end of it, lol haha. You got me 😂
I believe I was told it's a puff mushroom. Something like that, although most have said they've never seen one that big.
It's a rat serpent that slithers so that should narrow it down for you.
a space alien laid it's egg. LOL
That it does!
the last one is a trinket snake...its a non venomous one
Yeah, didn’t realize trinket snake was a common name for it. Picked it up. Mellowed out a bit after being a bit feisty at first.
Long Krait
Yeah, nice one.
Might have bee. Meteor bud lol
Yeah, I wish it was.
The object looks like a Boeing bomb 🤣
Yeah, that it does.
Halloween's been over, and I know I was messing around with posts, and I apologize for any you don't think are appropriate. I call myself a Christian; but every once in awhile, I like to joke around. Although I don't care for the phrase leave it a loan because it doesn't make sense to leave a snake a loan when they wouldn't do anything with the money if you loaned them any.
I found a Milk Crate 👍
A Meteorite ??
Looks like it, but just a mushroom of sorts.
You've seen two snakes that you said you were going to leave a loan, but people are the only ones who use money so why?
At 8:11 that's "striped keelback"..
It's actually a Radiated Ratsnake, also known as a Copperhead Racer Coelognathus radiates I've seen Striped Keelbacks in Singapore. They do look similar...
Last night I found the banded krait😞
Awesome! Congrats on that. Such an awesome snake.
It's side effects from touching that👽orb.
It's something that an 👽 creature dropped off. LOL I've read that when people put LOL, most of the time, they're not really laughing so I guess I'm in the minority because I was laughing at my joke. It's like I've seen these RUclips gossip videos about aliens and spheres found that they say aren't made of any of the elements of Earth so I couldn't resist.
The striped was a Copperhead Racer. AKA Radiated Rat. Great find. Details here www.hongkongsnakeid.com :-)
I appreciate that. Interesting that it has so many names. Racer/Rat. A very cool snake. A little pissy at first, but easy to handle after awhile. Love the website.

That’s odd.
Yeah, strange shroom.

Yeah, I love SG. I've herped there quite a bit. Love seeing the blue corals! This was one of my last trips...
