Can’t get over how absolutely prehistoric-looking alligator snappers are! That guy straight up looks like a fossil! Awesome turtle!
My younger son is a land surveying crew chief. They made a few people mad when they escorted a 5'+ timber rattler across a state highway. Later the same summer, on the way to a job they stopped to get a huge snapper out of the road. As the truck stopped with flashers on, they were rear ended by a lady that was DUI (at 9am?) totalling both vehicles. Our crew was fine but the intoxicated lady had a broken collar bone. And the turtle was unhurt.... Somehow
Amazing Snapper! 93 pounds and probably 30+ years old? What an incredible animal! I enjoy the turtle and amphib episodes!
Over the years, the size/age has gone way down among the A-snappers. You don't see nearly as many 50-100 YO snappers as we did in the 1960's.
Greg’s the turtle king 😂😂
Always love it when a day gets "quite turtely"! Cheers!
Still can’t believe how cool that turtle was. Awesome stuff.
I watched this yesterday on Greg's channel and guessed 96 so I went over by 2.1 lbs. That kingsnake at the beginning was super nice. I'm so jealous on all the reptiles and amphibians you find. I know you've put blood, sweat, and tears into laying cover and putting hundreds of hours hiking and cruising to get the results you do. The goat of the field herping game! Thanks for the excellent video and I am looking forward to the next one. Catch you on the flip-side (of the tin stack 😉)

Love to see a big turtle! Thanks brother!
8:12 poor turtle looks so terrified and then… boop 😂
Can't believe it's turtle time again! That went by quick!
That snapper was a MONSTER! And you had an awesome sunset to end the day. 👍
That snapper’s head was huge! Nice find.
"Aight dude, back to the forest. Thank you for existing"
A terrifying thought
Way to go dudes! You dudes are cool!
That Alligator Snapping Turtle was massive
How friggin epic was that snapper, wow.
I can remember going into the swamps when we were kids, We weren't afraid of anything lol,👍👍👍👍
Fantastic! Loved Mister Big Unit there; my brother lost the tip of one finger to a much smaller version-- we had a tiny spring in our backyard that drew a lot of turtles and frogs (Panama City area, NW FL) and he just had to pick it up... Nice to see all those Cooters too, I remember catching those as a kid. Pretty little things! All around a great video in a beautiful area.
Awesome Video! Thank You !
bro im really amazed about your knowledge about reptiles and frogs, newts and salamanders and toads
Great job! This video really helped me out. Thanks!
You are blessed with stunning reptiles for sure.would love to go herping in America🙏🏻
That alligator snapping turtle was extraordinary. A very old individual for sure. Also nice bit softshell and the snakes. I wonder why the alligator snapper didn’t eat the other turtles in the trap.
Wow, what a head on that 100+ year old alligator snapper amazing!!

A great video as usual!
Awesome, I’ll bet that turtle is OLD 💖 love those turtles, and in nice clean water. They all should live in clean water! Not a polluted mess.
I love snakes and ive seen so many kings just sunning in the road
Hell yeah many a turtle video!
The snapper the whole time was just like | O |
Absolutely awesome video. Thanks.
That was a great adventure, love your content that Alligator snapper was awesome to see. keep up the good work.
Just curious if anyone has saw the newspaper article years ago about the huge snapping turtle that was caught in Georgia and was found to have a arrow head lodged into its shell from a hunter . The arrow head was supposed to around 100 years old.
I have the same big turtle in Siberia, on the shore of Lake Baikal, it eats the local fish perfectly! There are three more cubs of this turtle.
Bro I love you.
Hi Greg, long time no-see! Great to see you. Be well, stay well.
Awesome herping trip.
You're close to my area. If you come through Elbert County you're bound to find lots of turtles and snakes.
EPIC" from Idaho!!!
Nick could you ever have a contest where whoever wins gets to go Herping with you?
While your snake hunting in the northern hemisphere PLEASE remember “red and black friend of jack, red and yellow kill a fellow”
that doesn't hold true in Mexico. the Variable Coral Snake (Micrurus diastema) often has red touching black & the elegant coral snake (Micrurus elegans) always has red touching black.
Not sure what part of GA. Y'all are in but where I'm at I have a stretch of river where I catch those and bigger regularly. 100 lbs plus often. Three locations but just monsters. Would love to see you guys come down for some real prehistoric trophies.
So cool👍
I'm not too worried when handling alligator snappers, but soft shells have very sharp beaks, long, flexible necks, and a very quick strike. No thanks!
That alligator snapping turtle is big and that's GAMERA
I live in North Georgia and wonder where all you've hiked ??? My town has a lot of good locales for such adventures !!!
Summer Creek snakes 👍 👍 👍
Love your vids I want to grow up just like you
Great video, always good to see some turtles, two in particular such great animals.
Being from the UK, I am guessing, but presumably a bite from the snapping turtle could do some very serious damage to any finger (or toe) that got too close?
Thanks for posting.
Man that snapper was wild! I sure wish that the 3 turtle species in Cali weren’t all in bad condition. (1 exterperated, 2 threatened/endangered) and only 1 is within range of me. Awesome video nonetheless!
Very cool video for sure! I LOVED the king snake…..what a beauty! 🤩 I also loved all of the turtles, especially the alligator snapper. I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but what did you show that had the spots? At first I thought it was a fawn, but then I thought maybe some other kind of animal (wild hog??). Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to the next video! Take care!!! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
It was a fawn.
@@davidfield23 thanks! 😊
south east GA has rainbow snakes. I wonder if you have ever encountered any? I read that it is rare and diets on eels.
Good on Greg for that soft shell! Noah are the Soft shells still on the endangered list due to Turtle soup?

Noah - you have any idea how old that monster was? And how long they live?
They live a long time, but it’s hard to say how old this one was. Certainly older than me.
I wonder how old that Alligator Snapper is? He's such a chonk!
I walked creeks all the time here in Indiana. Back in my early years catching every thing and anything I could. But how do you know what water's have alligators and don't.?
😮 wow he could bite you in the face and there would be nothing left ❤
The only thing I've ever been bitten by was a large Soft Shell I lost my grip on. I still have the scar on my thumb.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Soft shells get huge
Hi Noah
Have you ever been herping in Indiana or Tennessee? Im having a hard time herping in these states!
🐍
What can of damage can a snapper do to foot if you were to accidently step near it?
Can i order some of the realistic herp tee-shirts for sale? How do i find them?
How Old was that " BIG SNAPPER?
Thats what she said
Heck dude! That snapper is H UUUUUUUUU GE
You stick your head in its mouth and it will cleanly bite it off 😂😂😂😂
Are there not alligators in Georgia? I know south Carolina does.
Yes, in south Georgia. He was up in the northern part of the state. They aren't found that far north.
@@mudcatjones9366 I've seen a lot of them in South Carolina thought they might be all over Georgia. Cool
@@mudcatjones9366 mudcat that's a cool name we have a lot of mudcats here catfish
If these alligator Snapper's got as big as a T-Rex my money would be on the snapper in a straight up fight hes got a shell to protect him from back attacks and once he got hold of the tex it losing what ever part it bites
First comment? ... Need to watch the video!
That king is sexy!
Are these animals traumatized by you catching them? They have to think death is near!!.,! Something to think about…….sigh
Bro / ther
lol, I definitely read that in Noah’s voice.
Did you kill him??? He looks dead!!
It is literally looking around...
Hey if you’re ever in Florida and wanna catch alligators I’d love to take you!
