Insane Kansas Snake Hunting: 20 Milksnake Day, 100+ Snakes Total!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- On my last day in Kansas, we had an incredible day of Milksnaking rounded off with some great diversity and even better numbers! Once again, hundreds of Ringnecks were seen throughout the day but this time Milksnakes were by far the next most abundant species with 20 total!

Welcome to Kansas. It may be boring but we have some beautiful areas jacked with herps. (:
You channel was randomly in my recommended and I clicked and have been watching these videos for 2 days straight and now consider myself a snake expert lol
Aaron same lol
I like snakes but im not an expert but this herp shit entertaining as hell for me so when im bored i go flipping haha.
@@willbaska I feel like one now. He flips some tin and im sitting here like "wow look at all those ring necks" when 48 hours ago I didn't know what that was lol
@@user-kz9yq6ci6u When I was little (4-6) I had a mini obsession with snakes. It has basically faded but little pieces still stick with me. I can identify basic species. It rlly is an interesting animal imo.
I absolutely love watching your videos! Yo'u're very informative and honestly I did not know herping existed but I am so entertained by this. It just goes to show we're all living on this planet and just trying to survive everyday. I love how respectful you are to the snakes and some of the snakes are so calm after you pick them up- like they realize you will not harm them (not everytime but a lot of the time haha!) Thank you for the videos!
This dude finds ringnecks like they're earthworms
You can find dozens of ring necks if you flip rocks in most mildly wooded areas in eastern America
BenHerping hi Ben
JKHERPS _ hi jacky boy
@@benherping4000 Even New England? I've seen a few around here before, but they seem to be in isolated spots and they're kinda there or they're not. But I haven't spent a lot of time just flipping rocks in general so who knows. I'll give it a shot. Apparently browns and redbellies are plentiful too and I've never seen those either.
noop bloop definitely New England, since there fossorial your going to find them pretty much exclusively under cover, but yeah there everywhere.
I squee'd at the cute fat wee moles, what a cool find! 😍
the moles!!!! So cute!!!!
I know!!!
Yes!!!
Definitely liked the baby moles!!! They’re little hands lol
Oh my gosh yes!!! They were great
Remember that one time that guy commented that he'd bet Kansas was terrible herping...poor guy.
😆
I’m not a poor guy. I’m from east kansas.
@@jhcjackattack2935 uhhhhh ok? So?
@@werdcore1985 East Kansas helping stinks
@@jhcjackattack2935 the flint hills where they are is eastern Kansas
That western worm snake was stunning! Nice job!
By far my favorite herping channel on RUclips I never miss an episode ... thanks brother
That speckled king snake was beautiful...how can people hate such beautiful creatures 🤷
You guys are living my dreams
Can't beat herping here. I'm not even an expert but Nick and Brandon have given me some tips and have found 9 milks and 8 speckled kings in the past two days. Herping here is incredible. Glad you enjoyed it, feel like this state doesn't get enough love sometimes!
That’s because when you say Kansas the first words out of every non native Kansan is Toto, Dorothy, wizard of oz and or there’s no trees there. People have no clue how diverse Kansas really is, especially eastern Kansas. Hopefully they never figure it out.
Baby moles!!! Too cool. Wow!! 🤩
Your videos are the best for helping people learn to identify common snakes in their area. You show so many different specimens of milk snakes and ringneck snakes in this video, for example. I think anyone with a pair of eyes should be able to figure out what they look like and how to identify them from that. I've never really understood why many people can't identify common North American snakes on sight, as most of our species look pretty distinctive.
You are making so good videos.I found your channel 4 weeks ago. And i didn't miss any video.Keep it up bro💪💪
Holy crap, apparently there are snakes everywhere and under everything....
Damn Kansas has some amazing herping. Great content as always man.
The Southern herper right! Only reason ever to go to Kansas!🤭
43ShaDey lol, I wish i could just stop on the side of the road and get 2 dozen snakes lol. Location location location
@@43ShaDey you're absolutely right. Nothing at all to see here. Definitely don't come to Kansas.
@@43ShaDey let me guess you live in the city and do nothing except play video games
@@isaacwegner6714 um no I live in the stix of nw FL and haven't played a video game since the PS3 came out ..
Oh and I'm a GIRL
Congrats man. You're gonna remember this day!
Very very awesome video! I am so happy for you and your friends. There were some beautiful snakes and I wish we could have seen I bit more of the moles. I look forward to your next excursion. Stay Safe! 👍🏻😄
Nice video
Great video :) This channel is going to be huge one day. Keep up the incredible work! I love seeing what you find :)
Noah definitely has “herpers hands” 🖐
Better then "Jerkers" hands😂
Reds Country !!! 😟
Bro I’ve been watching your videos a lot lately and I just found my first Kingsnake in the wild it was a speckled king love your videos🎖🎖🎖
Nice! I'm from NJ and I usually just find garter snakes. Lol
I live in MN and all I ever see are garters and red bellies. It is a bummer
I lived in Kansas for 29 years and I've never seen a Milk Snake......ive seen and caught just about every other snake but that one......they love those limestone rocks with all the shell fossils......tons of the ring necks under em
Iv been watching a lot of your videos and I love what you do me and my son do this all the time
Awesome way to end that excellent day! You guys caught some beautiful species
Never understood wearing gloves until I herped in KS and TX. Some sweet looking milks.
What does that mean… musking? Biting?
@@erikm8372 Just lifting 100's of rock in a day. Easier with gloves.
Awesome! You guys are killing it!
Who ever disliked may your toilet paper run out 😂
🤔 💩🤣 👍
Unlikely, because they're probably the ones that hoard it.
Nooo I disliked bye toilet paper 🧻😂
Yea lol
Oddly enough you got the same number of likes on your comment as dislikes in the video
The lil moles had me 🥺🥺
OMG those baby moles are so darn cute : )
Thank you for adding close ups! specially of their faces and eyes.
Great video, thanks for sharing. If ever you make it out to South Africa give us a shout and we can head out herping here.
I am terrified of snakes, but strangly compelled to watch.
I especially enjoyed how you documented the red milk snake jump. Back in the late 1970s, I had a paper published on locomotion in snakes and included a special section on “saltation” (jumping) in red milk snakes from personal observation. I never saw this behavior in other snake species, but assume it occurs. Have you seen this before, Noah?
Hi I live in the uk and your videos are great wish we had more snakes in the uk you have so many species in the States
I am so jealous of how many rat snakes you find. I’m in southwest Ohio and I NEVER see them. When I was growing up I used to see them a lot, but now that I’m an adult who looks for snakes every day, I see nothing but water snakes, garters, and queen snakes.
Jennifer Sheffield-Lawrence Haha fellow ohioan here and I feel ya
A lot of people kill every snake they see
Ethan Cooper I know, it’s really a shame. I’ve always loved snakes and they are so good for the environment and for pest control.
Jennifer Sheffield-Lawrence my dad killed a hog nose today I try to catch them and move them away from our house before he kills them
Ethan Cooper that’s horrible!! Hognoses are so cool
I love you man keep up these amazing videos
Amazing density of snakes.
Awesome video Noah!
I've never been this early.
Incredible worm snake and stunning milk snakes
I don’t like snakes just because I fear them. I saw them bite you. But for some reason I watch these videos cause I’m fascinated and I think that you guys are crazy!!!!
Snake bonanza! I was surprised seeing grumpy milks.. they usually just chill and wait to be put back down :)
It's absolutely insane to me how common ringneck snakes are in Kansas. I live in Michigan and I have only found four or five of them ever. Up here they are a treasure to me, so are milks, I don't see many of them either. I'd love to go herping in other states but just haven't gotten the chance yet. I would be THRILLED to see THAT many fossorial snakes. Nice job!
Dude, great video!
Love your videos! I just recently caught my first Gila monster!😀
You found more ringnecks in one day than we have in all of Alabama I believe. Great day of herping.
That has to be a world record day for finding snakes. Guessing this has got to be the best day you have had in your life. I’ve never even found 10 snakes in one day. Wish I could find just 1 milk snake 😂. Dude love your videos!!
Me too lol
Nice herp session!❤️
Spectacular! Is it possible that the Kansas sites had more snakes than in Georgia because there had been fewer collectors there? Or is the carrying capacity of the habitat that much greater? Thanks for these videos.
I can't believe how many snakes you find. I'm from Australia and apparently we a known for our snakes but you guys clearly have a lot more!
The difference with Australia is that, from what I hear, you don't want to just pick up the snakes like we can here. We've got mostly harmless colubrids, and the few venomous snakes here are easily identified. In Australia it's like mostly dangerous elapids and a few pythons, right?
THIS CHANNEL IS MADEOF FEARLESS PEOPLE!! Respect😀
I’m very surprised to see the milk
Snakes hiding with multiple snakes
I always know when it’s your video. By the blood on your arm.😂😂
Really nice shots! We’re hoping to find a milk soon. Or twenty or whatever.
Man, you guys find a lot of snakes. Good to know those are all out thre.
You are causing severe anxiety for these snakes! I can see it in their wiggles and their bites! Just kidding, what wonderful videos these are! As a snake amateur, I'd be taking beautiful snakes home every day!
I grew up in Tonganoxie, KS. I can tell ya, awesome herping there, and I live in Florida now. Still prefer Kansas. I used to flip ringnecks and milks literally by the dozens under old roof shingles near my grandpas house. The best thing about KS is there are so many spots and most people will gladly let you herp their property if you just ask politely.
It’s a great place, I much prefer it over Florida too! It’s been too long, I need to get back out there.
@NKFherping If you ever plan a trip lemme know, I can probably get you into some nice private areas with tin already set up that I left 10 years ago before I left.
Nice. Kansas is so cool also heard they have a ton of dirt roads to cruise.
And tornados
Yeah im from eastern kansas its all great cruising roads, dirt roads arent great for my mustang tho lol
Hey keep up the great work
at 2:15 I think there is a milksnake to the right of your hand on the screen. Could be wrong, but thats what it looks like!
17brpritchard yes I saw it too...I think you’re right!
Saw it to
I knows we have San Diego ringnecks, here in San Diego County, but I wish they were as easy to find here as in all of your videos! We have plenty of alligator and fence lizards, of course. Lol.
Very cool video. I don't know much about snakes. So when I see them, as a precaution, I always assume they are venomous.
Healthy Mind Project look at there heads venomous ones will have like a v shaped head or like a arrow but good u take precaution because some snakes have tons of bacteria in they’re mouths
Was this all in the Flint Hills? If so I'll definitely have to check it out next Spring. You guys got a haul
Nice! I still need every species you found for the list.
I love all of them, I only have the Northern Ringneck so far.
Those red milks are the bomb diggity
That prairie kingsnake was beautiful
Actually all them kingsnakes are
Also I might add that I admire the fact u put all the rocks back in their places lol
Shocking number of snakes found. I am jealous.
That has to be at least 40 ringnecks, that was totally insane. Nice herps, so many beautiful milks. Keep up the good work. Edit: yeah, maybe more like 70
Wow great looking western worm snake. I'm gonna start flipping stuff when I'm out... I just don't look for snakes much. So I wonder if you guys "Keep" snakes or if seeing them in the wild is enough. Just curious.
The worm snake is so cute 😭
Just the sheer amount of Ring neck snakes...
What part of eastern Kansas are you in... I live In Miami county and always look for milk snakes, but I have never seen on
NeverMind you were in the flint hills
Im from kansas, i live right next to a creek and have timber with lots of rocks that i herp, ive found glass lizards too, some salamanders too which are pretty rare here
nice video!
What is the difference between what you call a milk snake vs a arizona mountain king ? They look the same to me. Also that worm snake was beautiful 😍
This is the earliest I had ever been!
Holy crap, what is the deal with Kansas? I've been herping my whole life in California, Nevada, Arizona, and there is NO WHERE in those states where you can find snakes in these numbers. I mean, you can find a lot of snakes....but nothing like in this video.
In most parts of Kansas we love our snakes. We have a large farming and ranching communities. The snakes are good for us because they keep down the problem mammals and bugs.
@@WodanMorning I'm in Wichita and do a lot of work in the area. You can find a ton of snakes just walking the dirt roads and under any piece of debris seems to be a 50% chance of finding -something- tons of cool snakes here.
Awesome video. Watch all of them. been subbed since 2k
This is almost the amount of snakes in my nightmares. No joke. 🐍
I'm surprised you didn't see a bunch of hog-nose snakes. When I lived in Kansas, we regularly found them in our yard. I never saw milk snakes around our yard. They are beautiful snakes.
you just gained 1k subs in 15 minutes LOL HOW! GRATS BRO!
Great video again 👍 But are you allowed to go & stay in other states in us now? Weird to see you do a high five these days 😊 🐍
Milksnek go nom nom. Milksnek do a bite.
So cute snakes
aint no party like a ringneck party
Milk snake pretty badass
I live in western Nebraska.. all the research I've done on milk snakes, which there's not much to go off, I should be able to find them here. Across the state. I've found prairie rattlers, bull snakes, hognose, green racers, and garters. Any info on my state? Thank you
This is truly wild haha.
Snakes do have ears tho... Love your vids!
Subbed!
Have you ever caught a "common wormsnake"? We have them here in KY but I've only seen one. I was moving firewood around and noticed an earthworm. The worm looked a little strange though. I picked it up and it was a tiny snake! I assumed snakes that look like worms were only found in more exotic countries but I checked the Univ. of KY website and they in every region of our state except the north.
They are absolutely everywhere. Flip a few rocks and you will find like 3 of them.
I tried going to flint hills and couldn't find snakes. Do you have any suggestions on where to find them there?
I’m from Topeka Kansas I find snaked allot around here haven’t seen these ones that much
are those field sparrows singing at 6:48? I have never gone birding in Kansas
Y’all should come to central virginia
I love milk snakes. My favorite snake is the Mozambique spitting cobra.
I love to make snake and nature videos. I do all the time NKFHerping is my favorite channel to go watch snake videos
Oh wow I bn hunting frogs for 15 years and I’ve never knew you could look at them and tell they’re gravid.....how do you do that exactly?🤔
