I'll be real with you, you don't do massive collabs, episodes with thousand-dollar budgets, or implement cinema-grade editing... And that's why I watch every video you upload. With all the massive 'social' channels out there, it's great to just watch someone relax and enjoy time in nature.
Soooo accurate. So many channels are just thumbnails full of exclamation points, bright words, and emojis and almost seem more concerned with getting the youtube clicks than enjoying the actual nature they're filming. I got a bit into birding this year and realized a lot of people are just chasing rare species that other people have reported within a day or less instead of just finding a place to go explore. That's all kinda whack to me
Very nice video, Noah. Cool rat snake. Very large Nerodia indeed! A lot of diversity for sure in that little body of water. Better luck in getting a siren m next time.
Even though you didn’t find the amount of snakes you would have loved to find, this video was great imo!😃 I love ponds and seeing all what is in them. I hope we do get to see some sirens at a later date, but I am enjoying everything that you are finding. I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your trip and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Stay safe and healthy! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍
Love your videos. I try to always jump to hit the notifications to see what you’ve been up to. For years I’ve been uneasy about snakes. We spend a lot of time in the woods, creeks, and rivers hunting for fossils. Snakes are part of the game. My wish is to be better at identifying them. You make it so much easier! Thanks!😊
unrelated, we have township land that our property backs up to and they came and cut down a bunch of wild growing bamboo in the winter, few weeks ago they put down strips of roofing along our fence in an attempt to kill the bamboo but what they did was give a great place to flip and now I find all kinds of snakes.
Noah, Can you please explain the main identifying difference in Yellow Belly sliders and Eastern River Cooters? I've looked on the internet and can't find any information and they look so similar, I never know lol. I'm on Flint & Ocmulgee Rivers north of fall line through Middle GA.
Have you thought about coming north. To catch the blue racer? I think i found a new species looks like a blue racer with darker blue bands like a water snake or corn snake maby ive found 3 of them on the same bever pond. Blue but seen swiming across the bever pond.
Roughly where in south Georgia? I am from Valdosta and in Lowndes and Echols County indigo snakes are a fairly common sight. They are amazing to see and get much bigger than folks would think.
What's the longest black racer you guys have found, just curious because I have had a weird relationship with a female black racer that's well over 6ft and yes I measured her with a tape measure on the ground as she slowly slid towards me so with slight bends in her body literally 3 inches away from the tape measure she was over six feet, I've held her 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years and I know it's the same smake due to unique markings a foot or so from the end of her tail and my wife named her Ms.Skitsy it's her personality but she's awesome
I just researched that a Common Snapping Turtle has a stronger bite than an Alligator Snapping Turtle. I thought it was the other way around. So a Common Snapping Turtle can be dangerous to us, right?
TL/DR yes they’re just as potentially dangerous to us as Alligstor Snappers Both do have the potential to be harmful to humans. I’ve heard stories of people loosing limbs because of both.
I don’t know if the bite force of a Common Snapper is stronger, but they’re definitely more flexible, faster, and more willing to bite than Alligator Snappers.
@NKFherping The bite force of the Common snapping turtle is 208 newtons and the bite force of the AST is 158 newtons from the evolution of bite performance in turtles University of Antwerp Belgium.

AGREED. 💯☝️
That cluster of Rough Greens was interesting!
Ditto!
Just when I think I can get to work, another video pops and 15 minutes later...............
Amazing healthy greens. They're not doing so well in my area, people see them less and less.
I love your channel! I'm glad to find it!
Very nice video, Noah.
Cool rat snake.
Very large Nerodia indeed!
A lot of diversity for sure in that little body of water. Better luck in getting a siren m next time.
I looked up herping, and I found this channel. I think it’s my new favorite channel.
That cluster of rough greens looks like my phone’s charging cord after being shoved into my work bag 😂
Interesting finds!…thanks.
Great episode with great variety. That pond was awesome and those last two nerodia were remarkable
Another excellent video!
That toad has made a grievous miscalculation
👍 love your content 👍
Congrats on 500 videos Noah!!! here’s to 500 more! 🍻
Hell Yeah
What are you DOING! 😂
Great video!
I live on a mill pond in Upstate SC that is chock full of turtles and I don't think I have ever seen a cooter that big here. What a beast!
Nice clutch of green snakes. 👍
BTW CHs in Latin have a k sound young man. 🙂
Lol I love how you find more than a dozen animals and think it’s been a bit on the poor side. I’d be made up if I found one creature. 😂😂
thats a pretty nice bundle of spaghetti you caught
I live here in Southeast GA, We had a beautiful White-Lip Racer in our back yard about a couple weeks ago.. Pretty young one as well
Nice a video

Green snakes! A whole bundle of them! I now love you more than Will. ;)
April has been pretty rough man. Normally this is one of the best months of the year! At least I'm not the only one with this luck!
I had better luck in February and march.
@@RachaelBerezin Same here! i was racking up in early march with rattlesnakes and even a coachwhip, but april has been pretty lackluster...
Howdy!

Please tell me you recorded another podcast episode with Dr. Jenkins 😁
I saw 2 mud turtles here where I live in East Tennessee the other day. First ones I've seen here in over 30 years.

this sounds like another guy i used to watch back in the day. a younger guy. your voice sounds similar.
Could the green snakes be a breeding cluster?
Mr. and Mrs. Nerodia???
Can anyone point this old Kentucky boy to some good riding roads to see some beautiful copperhead near savanna Georgia?
Same here with Snappers, either 28" or 3" Very cool

So? I’m in the Great Basin desert. Should I follow the same hunting parameters as you?
Are you going to come back to southern CA to find smakes?

@@simpled5755 limbs or digits?! I will make sure I avoid any snapping turtle. lol
@@ruel1072 digits* I forget that fingers and toes aren’t limbs.

Please show me a siren.
Well I don't like seeing the bite marks on your left wrist.
I suggest you go to oklahoma there is this one pond called10 acre lake.
I would have paid you some good money for those green snakes they are the only ones I never ever find
What's a siren?
We should collap ik some good spots in Kentucky man!!!! @NKFherping
