Okay copperheads are always gorgeous but that one in the thumbnail is a stunner holy shit.
Dude the shark teeth though!!! I'm officially motivated now to walk to beaches here in Oregon in hopes that I find at least something similar! That's really badass
When your looking is when you will find. Good luck
Found a Megaladon tooth as big as a Volkswagon, which means these creatures must've been as long as 1,000 feet.
6:59 NKF keychain merch. Just throwin' that out there.
WHAT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT! Mud salamander for the win. You totally crushed it this year Noah. You have inspired me and taught me quite a bit through all your dope ass videos. I hope you had a great Christmas and we will see you in the next one. Catch you on the flip-side.

Mr. NKF, I've enjoyed youe videos since I ran across the first one year before last. I am not a herper myself, but I find all phases of the Lord's creation fascinating. I wish you a safe and Happy New Year and look forward to seeing your next productions soon.
Noah, I was excited when I saw you on the front page of google today. That should hopefully give you some extra traffic & subscribers. I took a screen shot for you so you could see that you were actually the top item when I opened it today, but I cannot figure out how to paste a copy of the picture/screen print into this comment. I have never seen anything on Google from NFK before, so let’s hope it’s a new trend!
I am so jealous of this. I looked up right after your call and saw something white hide behind a tree (I thought) and was thinking to myself, "my dude ran into a skinwalker . " 😂
Great end of the year! Be careful, fossil hunting is as addictive as herping haha
Excellent video and congratulations on finding the mud salamander. I look forward to seeing what you are going to do in 2024.
All those snakes are Awesome finds
This was a great year! Baby vipers are always a treat
Congrats on the Gulf coast mud!
I love your videos! On to 2024! I will be watching for your final 2023! Cute boato tailed grackle at the coast.
I love your videos from coastal SC, it reminds me of home 🥹 born and raised in Myrtle Beach, and moved away to Arizona last year. Love all of your videos, you’re definitely the best herping channel out there!!
Yay! Love your excitement over the mud salamander!
Love this!
Excellent video Noah! That Buck was beautiful and I am so so glad you found a mud salamander! I really loved the shark teeth hunting at the end. That would be so AWESOME to do! 2023 has been a great year for you in my opinion and I hope 2024 comes with even more exciting adventures! I. A huge fan no matter what and I have learned so much. Happy New Year Noah and everyone reading this! I hope everyone is safe and healthy!!! 😄💙🐬🐍🐊🫶🏼
Great episode!
Congrats on the Mud!! Been a great year bro!! Can't wait to see those vids ya just mentioned & to see what next year brings!! Happy New Year brother!!
Always love a Noah upload. Bonus sharks teeth at the end. Thank you for all you do. Happy new year 🎉
I just love those super blonde canebrakes.
Definitely liked the fossil hunting
Yes!
i was hunting in ohio 30 years ago and there was patches of snow on the ground in October. I was crouched down next to a big bush stalking a deer when a big timber rattler crawled across my foot. I thought at that time snakes hibranated but turs out.....
And loveeeee your vids
Snakes are supposed to be hibernating. Cool to see in winter time
Ive been living in central alabama for 17 years, same house. I have a creek in back yard that sits low, plenty of rocky outcroppings, lots of woods, mice, deer, raccoon, fox, bobcat and more. I have never seen a Timber rattler. Seen copperheads, kings, rat snakes, racers no rattlers though.
I thought that they hibernate during winter but I was educated about snakes and salamander in South Georgia
Rattlesnakes anytime of the year is fascinating, if you have a passion for them.
So cool. I live in Connecticut. We’ve got copperheads and timber rattlers here but good luck trying to find them. I’m absolutely fascinated by snakes, especially venomous ones. Every year when I take my kids to Disney in Orlando, I’ll walk around the grounds at the resort to try and find one. Finding one in the wild would be incredible. Great video, Happy New Year!
I live in NC and we have copperheads but they are few and far between. Unfortunately there are no rattlesnakes in my area. Noah makes it look so easy. Good luck on your quest.
Same here in Vermont we have timbers but you will never find one. The herping in general is rough.
Same here In New Jersey
But out in pa where i used to live there’s the Timbers and the copperheads along with The Eastern massasauga and The Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake which if I am correct was seen this year down in the Gettysburg area but it was a single snake but i don’t really go out looking for snakes however let’s just say that instead of me looking for snakes I let the snakes find me since I have encountered 4 snakes all non venomous ones like I have encountered a garter snake, a Redbelly snake and one of my worst snake encounters a Northern water snake and it was my worst because I was little at the time and my neighbor dared me to pick up what looked like a stick in the water but instead it was not a stick it was a baby northern water snake however the best snake encounter I have had so far was with a giant Eastern Rat snake and i forget how big it was but I was at a Boy Scout camp and the snake was running through my troops and another troops campgrounds but having seen these snakes I have now set my sights on seeing a Ring neck, Kirtlands, Hog Nosed, Eastern Kingsnake, Pine snake, Green snake, Queen snake, Ribbon Snake, earth snake, Short headed Garter Snake and the grumpy Copperheads that live around my cousins house/ farm.
lol it seems like anything above South Carolina on the eastern seaboard is truly good luck if you can find one. A guy was bit by a timber rattler here about 10 years ago. His dog was barking at it while they were having a cookout and the guy went over and started messing with it and got tagged 😂 he was totally fine, not sure if it was a dry bite but in the end, his ego was the only thing that got damaged that day
The list end the year off with snakes. A freshly shed adult Eastern King, a Mole King, a Coral Snake a Eastern Diamond Back and a stunning Canebreak is my wish in the New Years video. Wont happen but I hope it does
send that nice buck down to effingham county we need some
What part of GA are u? I'm in mid GA why I ask. Happy New Years!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hunting snakes with flipflops??
Thank You Broth er! it would be interesting to know the why? behind the shark die off in this region unless you guys have the inside scoop!
I think it’s just the natural accumulation of the teeth on the ocean floor millions of years ago, as opposed to a single mass die off.
Unfortunately most large snakes that stay outside in the winter tend to have some type of health issue. I hope that you will find the second timber again at least. The diamondbbck was probably healthy and hibernating safely. Nice mud salamander, even if I don’t know that species much and nice fossil hunting too.
Where were you when you showed the small pond with the old dock? What town or county?
Can you try looking for Burmese pythons in the Everglades?
Enjoyed the video and educational narrative, I learned a lot. I will not be traveling to Georgia anytime soon. Way too many slithering creatures. Thanks for sharing though.
Your up wind from him judging from the tree movement.Seems like you have a good selection of reptiles and amphibians
Said you were in west ga. Where exactly in west ga?
Unfortunately, most large reptiles that stay outside in the winter tend to have some type of health issue. The diamondback was probably healthy and hibernating safely. Nice second timber though and I hope you will find it again in spring. Actually I don’t know if true winter exists there, or fall just transitions to spring, as frogs have started breeding. Nice mud salamander, although I don’t know that species much. Nice fossil hunting too.
How big of an area did you explore when finding that many serpent's?
Sky trails at 5:39
What the name of untivenom medicin? And where I can buy one?
what does an eye bubble mean and can you help him ?
they keys put everything into perspective. Im coming to your area end of Jan any chance we can hook up for a day??
Georgia isn't exactly frigid in the winter
Hey Noah 2 things - what causes that eye thing on cottonmouth’s and any way you could take old man timber home and put him under a heat lamp with a meal? Just curious if that’s doable- happy holidays man thanks for all the videos this year
Not exactly sure what causes the eye bubble, but it’s likely an infection from overwintering in a burrow that is too humid if I had to guess. Unfortunately, taking any wild snake home to try to rehabilitate it is usually illegal, and often a huge risk for spreading pathogens.
@@NKFherping yeah I know about the legality but thought you may have a way to permit it or something- just curious man - Happy New Year
What causes the “eye bubble” malady you describe in cottonmouths? Just curious.
I’m not sure exactly, but if I had to guess I’d say an infection resulting from excessive humidity where the animal chose to spend the winter.
@@NKFherping Thanks for the response. I’m always amazed at the variety and beauty of the cottonmouths you find. Each seems to have a unique coloration and pattern. I lived in the Houston area for 20 years and encountered cottonmouths several times. Most were juveniles and were an almost uniform dark color. You could see patterns in certain lighting, but nothing like the striking colors your snakes display. And of course most had the bright green tails and immediately coiled and gaped when threatened. I find it interesting to note the color variations between snakes of the same species/subspecies. They seem to color-adapt readily to different micro-environments, which suggests a certain genetic fluidity that could ultimately lead to relatively rapid speciation. Anyway, thank you again for all of the great videos and the education we’ve all had from you!
The mammal tooth was probably a mastodon tooth. 🦣
I could come back as a chunky brown water snake except I can't swim.
Soooooo, what part of Georgia, cause I don't wanna see those serpents. I'm in coastal ga
Or you could take the rattlesnake home and feed him through the winter and release him in the spring. Just kidding, you probably need a special permit for that. In all seriousness Noah with all of the reptile knowledge that you have, have you ever thought about trying to get a license to become a reptile rehabilitator for the reptiles that are native to your state?
Never mind
Noah, Is Georgia too far east for Hellbenders?
Nope, we have them in the mountains here!
I thought snake go in for cold
Yikes...I thought rattlesnakes hibernate in the winter? Exspect in AZ where the weather is warm
Why would it have been bad to feed him?
Any chance of giving away location of shark's teeth? Lol
This reminds me of the crocodile Hunter I predict an untimely death in the wild at the hand of a pit viper bite apon bare legs Don with flip flops on a walking trail
First❤❤
Have you considered you may have give that snake the strength to hunt! Nah, that’s one thing I don’t like about you. When given the opportunity to make a small change. You FLUNK OUT, EVERY TIME IVE SEEN YOU,
