Crazy trip! So much awesome snakes you got! That cobra with its hood wide open looks extremely graceful! Really impressive! Thanks for this vid. Great as always!=))
Wow Lou! Those are some fantastic cobras! Wonderful hooding/defensive display going on I bet you got some great photos. Awesome iridescence on that krait. What was the green viper? Another great adventure sir!
I am soo afraid of snakes but when l saw that golden cobra l have never seen a snake like that anywhere in books,on tv,etc.,keep filming and l will keep watching you are so Brave..1 look at a cobra and l would have ran all the way back to the States
I'm not the smartest person in snakes so, I got a question. I know snakes use smell and heat sensing organs but, if they use their eyes quite a bit, is it stunning to the snake for a camera to suddenly flash infront of them? Like how it's a bit jarring for us and we get an after image after someone takes a picture. Sorry if it's hard to understand this...I'm uh.....English, but I somehow cannot type my own language in an understandable way. Heh!
hughstout thanks for commenting. I do believe too many flashes can startle and stress the snake a bit. All the snakes we found were removed from the canal and released back into the wild. I'm hoping to see a few more snakes in Hong Kong later this month.
Yeah, it's relatively easy herping compared to say Singapore. Like road cruising on foot. Lots of really cool species. The HK skyline is unreal too. I love it there.
@@loub747 Great video, I'm just catching up on your stuff. Clearly not looking for specifics, but in general in Asia are you able to find snakes right in the city? In National Parks? Do you have to get further outside of the city?
Great video as usual. one quick question..what snake was that green one? I couldn't catch that in the audio...(: Thanks Your also going Tokyo next!!!? Are you going herping there? I'm going back to Tokyo soon myself! (:
Thanks. The green snake was a Bamboo Pit Viper or also I think it's called a Green Tree Viper. Yeah, hit Tokyo. Found a couple Mashushis and some other stuff. Will put out a video next week when I get some free time. When will you be back there?
Wow so many in one outing! I am guessing Kowloon side...I have to say that I find your videos not only fascinating, but that they are slowing allaying the innate fear I have of coming across snakes in the wild, as clearly your videos demonstrate vividly that left to their own devices they are not aggressive or prone to move towards people...But you still terrify me watching you walking in open sandals, at night peering up into the overhead foliage, not watching where you are stepping!
Yeah, this was on Lantau Island. The two Cobras in this video are a good example. The smaller one would "hood up" to try and scare away predators. The larger one in the water area wouldn't hood up and just wanted to leave. The all just wanted to leave really. The banded krait is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. He too just wanted to go his own way. Even in sandals, I never felt in danger. Had I stepped on a snake I didn't see it could have been a problem. Good times!
Hello sir 😍 I lovee you video so much 😍 Btw, can you tell us that which one is venomous and non each time you saw a snake 😍 Tq sir i just subs to you 💕 Much Lovee sir Im also an animals Loverr😇 I love to catch any animal
Yeah, every snake in this video is venomous, especially the many banded krait. That would be a really, really bad bite. That said, snakes aren't aggressive for the most part. They just want to get away. Biting is usually a last defense.
Животные
Lou, one of your best! That number of snakes will be a hard act to follow, not to mention the beauty of the specimens.
(That's a big plane you fly.)
Thanks for watching. Yeah, not sure how the next HK trip will measure up. 747....Boeing makes a good plane!
Good stuff, I preferred the Friggin Krait to the Many Banded Krait. The Cobras were beautiful. The little Bamboo Viper was a stunner.
Fantastic video!
Dexter Spaulding thanks so much. It was a good night!
Really awesome video!! And all in one night! That's a really successful trip! :)
Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure I'll be able to pull all that off again.
Strange , caracteristic and beautiful video .
Snakes fantastic .
Thanks so much. Gotta love snakes!
That's a lot of cool finds in one night.
Gautam Muralidharan yeah, it was a great night!
Crazy trip! So much awesome snakes you got! That cobra with its hood wide open looks extremely graceful! Really impressive! Thanks for this vid. Great as always!=))
Yeah, it was an awesome trip. Cobras were very cool. Thanks so much.
Awesome vid Lou and you finally got your cobra!!! :)
Thanks. Yes I did!
amazing trip!!! loved seeing the cobra open his hood/the tiny viper! i gotta get someone to take me to the storm drains here some day!
Yeah, it was awesome. The drains are where it's at!
now that's a fun night right there. sweet seeing those cobras. awesome video
Thanks so much. I've always wanted to see a cobra.
+LouB747 really good video, beautiful snakes keep up the good work
+Bailey's Reptiles thanks so much. Appreciate it.
That many banded krait is the deadliest!
Yeah, it definitely has potent venom. I believe it’s HKs most venomous snake.
That's amazing
Good times!
Wow Lou! Those are some fantastic cobras! Wonderful hooding/defensive display going on I bet you got some great photos. Awesome iridescence on that krait. What was the green viper?
Another great adventure sir!
Thanks. I think that viper goes by quite a few different names. I call it the Bamboo Pit VIper, but I think Green Tree Viper is more commonly used.
dope video man
Thanks.
Great trip! Isn't there a keel back somewhere in Asia, that is bright blue and red ...with black in it?
I am soo afraid of snakes but when l saw that golden cobra l have never seen a snake like that anywhere in books,on tv,etc.,keep filming and l will keep watching you are so Brave..1 look at a cobra and l would have ran all the way back to the States
Incredible, many poisonous snakes in HK which is such a congestion city.
Yeah, very true.
Amazing snakes. Asian colubrids, vipers, and elapids are so different from those in America! It's hard to believe they're related.
I hear you. Hoping to find some US snakes now in Kansas
+Jordan Allen yeah, I've seen them in spring. Summer is always so hot. Today seems prime though.
Epic video man, Hong Kong looks like an extremely cool place! Also I am your 300th subscriber! Congrats on hitting 300 subs man!
Thanks for subbing! 300. Growing slowly. Fun to see others with similar interests. Crazy hobby! More like an addiction!!!
Just check your channel and it has good content I subbed
+Bailey's Reptiles thanks so much for subbing. It's growing slowly. Really slowly. I just do it for fun. Editing is a chore at times!
@1:57. That guy poses like a film star.

Awesome! I may go to Hong Kong in the next couple of years! Best trip you've had?
Yeah, it's relatively easy herping compared to say Singapore. Like road cruising on foot. Lots of really cool species. The HK skyline is unreal too. I love it there.
@@loub747 Great video, I'm just catching up on your stuff. Clearly not looking for specifics, but in general in Asia are you able to find snakes right in the city? In National Parks? Do you have to get further outside of the city?
Yeah, really close to the city. You don't have to go far at all. I usually take taxis.
Imagine getting stuck in there without a flashlight?
So many at one time in a night? Jackpot!!!
Good times
Great video as usual. one quick question..what snake was that green one? I couldn't catch that in the audio...(: Thanks
Your also going Tokyo next!!!? Are you going herping there? I'm going back to Tokyo soon myself! (:

Thanks for the info! I'm arriving on the 11th or the 12th..mixed up because of the time difference lol.
+Reptile Studio I land on the 14th. Gotta find stuff on the roads in the morning in August for the most part.
Yeah, I will try that too. thanks

YOU FOUND SO MANY SNAKES! YOU MIGHT EVEN CALL THE ISLAND SNAKE ISLAND! 🐍
Profullo Sen yeah, it was a great night! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hello sir 😍
I lovee you video so much 😍
Btw, can you tell us that which one is venomous and non each time you saw a snake 😍
Tq sir i just subs to you 💕
Much Lovee sir
Im also an animals Loverr😇
I love to catch any animal
Lol 1:57 he looks like he's posing for a magazine 😑
Yeah, exactly
i don't understand, why aren't you worried about being bitten? at least some of those are venomous right?
Yeah, every snake in this video is venomous, especially the many banded krait. That would be a really, really bad bite. That said, snakes aren't aggressive for the most part. They just want to get away. Biting is usually a last defense.
In my country they preferred that krait was “3 steps krait”. You can only make 3 steps after it bit you.
smallest cobra i ever seen....and philippines is just 30minutes by plane
TEE BLUE yeah, a little one for sure. I wish I had trips to the Philippines.
Lmfao don't they bite 😂
Some do, but most don’t. They prefer to try and escape.
LouB747 Wow never knew. I thought snakes just run at you and try to bite you everytime lol.
I love snakes and your videos and have subscribed now.
You are such a sympathatic guy, not looking like a buddy of Donald Trump ;-)
Keep on filming!
Thanks so much. Hopefully some more snake videos coming soon. I gotta get out and have a look. Maybe tomorrow.
lol! What does DT have to do with this? Very sad if this comment means people from another nation think most Americans act like that man🤔😓😥🙄🙁☹️😖
