    Big copperhead indeed!
    Your story about catching your first two green snakes reminds me of a similar situation for me.
    I had searched for eight years for my first Louisiana Milk Snake. Then I found two within 10 minutes!
    For us in east central Texas that was the “holy grail” of serpents!

    I caught a big broad-headed skink in my grandparents backyard in North Carolina once. It was FIESTY and about the length of your were your palm and elbow meet. I’m pretty sure she was a girl but I had been tracking her for a while now. She got stuck of one of our roofs and had to save her.
    I also caught tons of green anoles in her backyard. I LOVE HOW THEY CHANGE COLOR! So beautiful!
    I love watching you videos! You inspire me at the age of 12 to herp for reptiles!
    Please keep it up! Your awesome!! ❤🥰🐍🦎

    When you picked up the rat snake you got really lucky there wasn't a rattlesnake or copperhead laying nex to him further under that tin there was still enough of that tin laying on the ground to hide a snake. I would have pulled him out a little bit with that hook. Be safe and keep up the awesome videos I love what you do it's one of my passions ever since I was old enough to flip over tins rocks and logs.

    It may be that the tin you have at home has gradually attracted Kingsnakes. Their prey is there, and over time the kings discover them. Just a thought.

      @NKFherping  2 года назад +1

      You’re right for the most part. Usually the medium rocks are best, they need to have space for a snake to get under them too. And make sure to only flip rocks you’re sure you can replace exactly how they were found.

      All Black Kings have bands when they’re born. They lose them with age in some cases, and retain them in others. They can be easily differentiated by band count at any age, you won’t find an Eastern King anywhere with that many bands much less in GA/AL.

    • @NKFherping
      @NKFherping  2 года назад +1

      Best thing you can do is give them somewhere safe to rest and recuperate for a few days. And give them water. If they live for a few days, I usually release them. Keeping them for too long can cause a different set of issues. I will say the majority of clipped snakes I’ve found that survived were hit on the head or neck, lower body injuries are usually more likely to be fatal.

    Hey Noah,
    How about you stuff a big plastic bag in your pocket before you go out herping? We see many cans and a few plastic water bottles sitting among the rocks there on the lakeshore, degrading our natural world. Even if you couldn’t collect and remove all that trash, removing any from the environment would be worthwhile.
    Also, if you could take an occasional moment to encourage folks to not discard such things but to carry them away that would be helpful. Some people seem to think that somehow the detritus they discard will magically disappear.
    Never miss a video. Thank you very much…
