Seeimg that dude dive for the coral immediately made me feel uneasy lol😅
Was thinking the same 🤣
As it should
Not as dangerous as it looked, I think. The way it was handled, the coral was unlikely to envenomate him. Still, it _could_ have. It was a pointlessly risky thing for him to do.
Especially when it’s anti venom is very scarce.
I was like did he just say coral and dove for it
Hey thanks for the Wild Houston shoutout! John is a legend. Glad you got your buttermilk.
saw that dude grab the coral and very loudly said "what the f***" for my whole house to hear lol
I guess that’s why he added the disclaimer; “don’t try this at home.”
Another great herping video. So sad how much trash humans leave behind. Great to see comparison between the coral snake and Louisiana milksnake.
I can totally relate to him getting caught up & tripping on that branch. That's the worst! 😂
What a great last day of trip!!! Cheers!
Nice coral, milksnake and buttermilk racer. The talk about the musk in the airport was so funny.
Great series! I really enjoyed seeing the Houston area since I live here!
I've never heard of a buttermilk racer. That thing was stunning!!!
In all my years living in south central Mississippi and now in northern middle Tennessee, I've never once seen a coral snake or a scarlet king. Both are my lifers.
Ahh... Houston herping. Pick a trash pile, any trash pile. Gotta love it.
That buttermilk racer was GORGEOUS! I've never heard of that species (except in last week's episode) before, and they range nearly into my area, even!
The fight is real here in Houston. We have a lot of transplants that don't respect our native floors and fauna. A few of us near lake Houston have to constantly educate people on why you shouldn't kill them.
All over the place, I live in west Houston and constantly have to educate people on why they shouldn't kill everything
Everything's big in Texas. Gesundheit!
Great finds, Noah! Wonderful trip!
Great trip Noah! That buttermilk racer was beautiful 🤩! I am thrilled that it went so well for you. Take care. 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
Shared the video on a nextdoor post of a lady terrified of snakes. Hopefully, she can find some enlightenment in it.
Wow, I never knew coral snakes curl up the tip of their tail to make it look more like the head and distract from the actual head. Cool to see!
07:35 that huge sign screamed Copperhead for me, called it lol
I hope you're making another trip out to west Texas this year. Those are some of my favorite herping videos.
I love how you said “im not going to touch many snakes, I got a flight” proceeds to get handed every nerodia known to man😂😂😂
Love your channel man! Im looking for hognose snakes in southeast michigan rn! Keep making awesome videos!
Good luck!
Great as always
Richard from Arkansas
Glad you got to herp my city, and saw some fantastic animals.
another awesome vid! thanks again, Noah!!
My guy just saw and coral and without hesitation went to pick it up
Thanks always
Awesome work
That buttermilk was SO well camoflouaged.
I’m still convinced Texas has the best rats
I won’t argue with it
Being from the Lone Star state, I admit I’m biased.
Texas Rats are awesome with the red and yellow between the scales. The one caught here is a prime example.
Love the vids bro awesome job
Houston is synonymous with snakes as a kid I’d see everything there copperheads, Mokassins, tons of water snakes, grass snakes, now i live in Florida for 20 years and have seen 1 tiny grass snake lol
Wow great finds! I just found my first wild snake it was a black racer and huge!
I live in Kemah, Tx about 30 minutes from Houston. We are covered up with Tx Crawfish snakes
Yall have some balls, I live in Texas not far from there, copperheads are horrible around here plus a lot of corral last few years
Beautiful Coralsnake. I found an Eastern Coralsnake last week that had so much black speckling on its red. But it's in Florida. Didn't know about the differences between Texas and Easterns, but it didn't seem to apply to this one.
I rewound the video to the first flip of that plastic tub, enlarged it on my ipad and played it back at 1/4 speed. The coral snake wasn’t visible during the first flip.
That coral snake was crazy pretty. Hope to see more content soon! Also, hero in Utah!
As a Texan, where was the dystopian location you searched in? A clear sign entropy is a thing. And did you notice how thick the woods were? There is not a more thickly brushed and overgrown patch of forest than what is found in East Texas.
Grew up in Houston arena. Never saw a LA milk snake there before. That’s a rare find
Bless you! 😆
I think Haldea striatula has been changed to Virginia striatula....
Was there not long ago!
Nice
Lived here my whole life and Buttermilks and Milks are my WhiteWhales 😢
Should have looked for a cottonmouth. With all of the water around, they are fairly common.
I know it’s not a herp but those Luna Moths are notoriously poor fliers, once up in the air they mostly glide. The females have larger bodies and rarely fly at all, just perch somewhere exuding pheromones that the males detect from long distances. They have no working mouthparts (so don’t feed) only live a max of 6-8 weeks as moths for the sole purpose of breeding. That looked like a newly metamorphosed male, toward the end they can look pretty beat-up & tattered.
Htx 🤘🏾
Looks more like a Mars snake!😂🤣😂🤣
Question…
I’ve gotten decent at distinguishing different species. I live in Northern Alabama so I see lots of the eastern king snakes. Though I know they aren’t poisonous I am still hesitant to pick them up because I’m afraid I’ll get bit. Is there a certain technique to picking them up and if you get bit what should you do?
Never been to Houston but I hear they get flash floods, last year a lake to the north got 23 inches in 2 days
I love watching your videos, I alway wonder how the heck don't you get poison Ivy?
Hey Nkfherping, will u at some point do another Alterna hunting trip? Obviously not killing but trying to find and capture a gray banded king. Been subscribed since i think 2020 or 2021
I have caught a huge earthsnake before
Came here to ID the snake I just found…first one in years. Now wondering why I don’t see snakes every few minutes.
Will we ever see you in Washington state?
What location in Houston did y’all go to for this forest?
Ive never seen someone actually pick up a coral snake
I have, on this channel in fact. They are a fossorial species with small mouths that rarely bite. However if you do get envenomated good luck.
Dude. I live in NW Houston
What part of Houston? Conroe? Woodlands? I am off 249 Spring Cypress area. Plenty of places around. Not looking for exact spots as I don't do that to people's areas. Just round about
I did a lot of herping as a kid in Houston, and I must have come across dozens of rat snakes. I never saw one as spectacular as that buttermilk you caught. Is that variant common?
In the right areas they can be fairly common
In Houston, I’d be worried about flipping a body under all that trash.
Was the coral in ur video
What do you do about tick prevention?
Nothing. There isn’t any real way to prevent tick encounters other than staying inside. I like to wear shorts and sandals so that I can feel them crawling through my leg hair before they get a chance to bite. Otherwise they could hide on your clothes undetected for hours and end up in the house/car.
Noah have a black racer question- I have 2 huge racers living by my cabin and a ton of baby like copperheads- will the racers eat them????
If they feel like it, they will
@@FunkySnake ok - thanks man - was hoping I wouldn’t have to relocate them
@@davidsorensen7438 they likely won't eat all of them if you're worried about them, so I'd still be wary
@@FunkySnake ok just worried about my dogs -
There’s a good chance they will, and there’s also a good chance the Copperheads won’t hang around long either way.
At 10:00 what kind of snake is that?
Ohh the caterpillar that transplants are freaking out about to the point they actually have news stories on...🤦♀️
Huh?
@@FunkySnake there are news stories because people from out of state are seeing them all over and are scared they are dangerous...
Grabbing a coral snake????
Branch 1 ... human 0
You're not in east tx thats south tx
east tx herping at 2:51
C'mon dudes, put gloves on!!!😮
Aren't you guys worried about being bitten by a coral snake?
Coral snakes are extremely venomous.
Joel Osteen's habitat.😖
Do not handle a coral snake, they are like in the top ten deadliest snakes in the world. You get bit some how an it's lights out.
first!
Were these metal plates actually placed on the ground in nature on purpose by people like you?
Ok I'm so thankful y'all didn't find any uhh human remains in these trash dumps but I wouldn't have been surprised if y'all had these days. 🫤
As a Houston local I relate..
