As snakes grow, their skin does not grow with them. Because of that they need to shed their skin. This process happens from time to time and it depends on the speed of growth of each snake. Young snakes grow faster so they also shed their skin more often than adults. We show you a wild Herald snake (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia) from South Africa during shedding its skin. Snakes are vulnerable when they shed their skin so it is not very common to observe this behavior in nature. We got lucky and you can enjoy watching it in our video!

I like at the end as he's getting in strike mode, he says "sike" and splits real fast. That Herald,
he's such a nice snake:) What a character..
It was a beautiful snake! At the end it finally realized that we are around, was a bit defensive and then left 🙂
I'm South African and the Drakensberg (Dragon Mountains) are my favourite. Never heard of that type of snake, so thanks for sharing new knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed watching the video and you learned something new!
I have a number of pet snakes. Watching them she’d never gets old. It’s amazing to see the difference before and after.
It is always amazing to observe snakes while shedding in the wild!
I had never heard of that type of snake before. It looks nice.
Yes, it’s a nice species! Thanks for watching!
Thank you guys! Your footage always blows my mind as somehow you are able to get these creatures acting natural like you’re not even there. I don’t know how you do it but I’m so glad you do. Thank you so much! Hope y’all(yes I’m Texan😂) have an awesome day!
Thanks for watching! We are very patient and often sit at one place for a long time, waiting for some action to happen. Sometimes we are lucky! 🙂 Thank you and have an awesome day too!
All I know that to get such moments of snakes, it take a lot of time and patience, so great job there and stunning little snake, I have watched and learnt .
Thank you, lot of patience is needed!
@@LivingZoology Definitely! Patience is needed, let hope that your trip to south Africa was awesome?
I wasn't feeling mentally well due to other disturbing videos about snakes and animal suffering. Your video saved my day. Such a cute snake. 🐍😍 Thank you for your videos!

Two things. 1) I was fascinated by the ant biting or chewing on the shed skin at around 6.20 and 2) Does it flatten its head to make itself look more dangerous, more viperish?
Ants often come into our frame! Yes, when Herald snakes flatten their necks it is a defensive behavior.
Red lipped herald from SA ❤ ..but my favourite is from Croatia 🇭🇷 nosed horned viper …
Good choice! Thanks for watching! 🙂
Yes it's amazing how you guys do all that stuff, I enjoy watching, not that I want to have a snake but it's interesting to see.
Thanks for watching our videos! :)
Like that you don't harass the snake to get a dramatic defensive shot. Nice to see other normal behaviors. Great camera work, as always.
Filming the natural behavior is very valuable for us! This behavior was so cool to observe!
Great video as always. Not the easiest shed, but came off perfectly.
Thanks 👍 It was not easy as the temperature was low but the snake managed 🙂
Fascinating to watch, another beautiful snake.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Again from the Best. Thank you
Thank you very much! 💚
Awesome Video with the Morning ☕️
Great to hear that! Enjoy your coffee!
The Herald Snake is striking! I love how the shed skin stayed on the tree. Awesome video.
Thanks for watching! It was a cool scene to witness!
Hi! Can I ask how did you get to do this for a living?
Hello! We filmed snakes and other wildlife for 6 years as a hobby (worked in science/education/travel business), and after that it became a full-time job for one of us.
@@LivingZoology thanks for replying so quick!
Venomous?
It has rear fangs - mildly venomous to humans. If the snake has a chance to chew on you, you may experience some local pain and swelling.
what snake is that
It has its common and scientific name at 00:26. It’s apparently a “herald snake”. Never seen them before either. Very cool.
Herald snake.
