Prettiest snake I ever seen on the channel so far!
Tbh I think so too!
Nice day!
Yes it was!
Sick vid and awesome herps man, very underrated channel!
Thanks! Means a lot! Your channel looks amazing, I’ll have to binge your channel later!
What a sweetheart of a snake! How curious he is. I love all King snakes. He’s one of those snakes you just don’t want to give back to nature! I just ran into your channel and I wish you guys awesome success but if I may give some humble advice I would like to say that I think your channel would be a huge success if you would try to improve the camera work. I got dizzy watching the beginning parts and I’m sure other people felt the same way. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you aren’t offended by my comment. Keep doing herping videos with a steady hand and watch the subscribers blow up!
Definitely a sweetheart of a snake! I completely agree we started to using tripods more. Definitely not offended and we working to make every video better and better!
@@wildlife_bros Subbed!
@@chefjimmie1 thank you so much! 😊
Sick snake! I’ve gone to Madera Canyon a couple times this year. Skunked on mtn kings and banded rocks both times
Been bout 4 times and I’ve only seen a mtn king
@@wildlife_brosall about putting in the hours. I gotta get back there
@@josephmask4856 it really is! Need to get back in the field to find the banded rock rattle
I live on the east coast, Mid Atlantic area and we have the awesome Eastern King snakes (and occasional Scarlet and Speckled King; Mole Kings are supposed to be around here but I've never seen one). I wonder why some King snakes aren't fearful or defensive at all, like this one which I can't stop looking at, and this one seems more friendly than most pet snakes! The Lampropeltis genus are generally not defensive and rarely bite but I wonder if that's a genetic trait. I don't know of any studies of the sort but it would be an interesting one to attempt to determine behaviors in snakes to genealogy and geography. Anyway, thanks for the channel!
That would be interesting to look at! I’ve only ever had one king bite me and it was a Cali king. It bit a lot and actually hurt a lot. Besides that every king I’ve ever found just acts like a pet. Some have done the tail shaking. I kinda feel like they go off of how you observe, grab, hold, and treat them. Like if you don’t act like a threat, they don’t treat you like one. If you are gentle and careful they are usually so calm. They are super smart snakes!
@@wildlife_bros I totally agree. For example, if you grab a fleeing Black Racer for example, he's surely going to turn and bite you but if you see one lying on the ground or under a tin and you gently scoop them up, supporting their bodies, chances are much better that you won't get bit, even by a defensive snake. Your Arizona Mountain Kingsnake looks almost identical to our Eastern Milk snakes except for the black head. The Eastern Milk snakes are from the genus Lampropeltis also but they vary in color wildly. Sometimes you'll find beautiful, eye-popping red ones, stunning and fresh out of shed and others are a kind of copper or bronze instead of red, it depends on what areas you're herping. I love snakes! All sorts, venomous species included, especially Rattlesnakes. Common around here and surrounding eastern states are the Timber (in higher elevations) and Canebrake in the lowlands, Eastern Diamondback, and Pygmy Rattlesnake. I love the Lampropeltis snakes most out of the indigenous species in the US but a close second would be the Pituophis snakes, the Pine, Gopher and Bull snakes and of course the Eastern Indigo.
@@chefjimmie1 I know first hand about black racers biting lol. Kingsnakes/milksnakes are my favorite type of snake by far. I have two different types of kings as pet at home. Goal of mine is to see every type of lampropeltis! Hoping to find a south America milk snake in the next couple weeks! Snakes are a lot smarter than people give them credit for.
@@wildlife_bros I don't have any pet snakes but I've been seriously considering getting one. Nothing too exotic, just a big healthy, happy, curious snake, maybe an Eastern King or a Texas Indigo or maybe just a nice big Rat snake, I don't know, that's why I don't have one I guess! Another reason for my hesitation is because I love ALL animals and I don't relish the idea of having to feed my long slender, legless friend a diet of dead rats. I used to keep rats as pets and talk about smart! Ratties are excellent pets except for one major flaw. They DIE waaaaaaaaayyyy to fast. Two years is all I ever got out of my pet rats so you end up saying goodbye very soon after you say hello. Little furry, cute, heartbreakers they are. I just hate how in the animal kingdom, animals have to die so other animals can eat. I hate death because I love LIFE so much (not in the sense of how the world says "life is good" but THE Life as in that which defeats death) but enough of that. I'm getting ready to plan a herping expedition up to PA (my home state) with an old friend. I'll probably share some of it on my channel but it's still up in the air as to when if at all. Cheers bros.
@@chefjimmie1 indigo would definitely fit the role of big and curious. That’s awesome! I’ll have to check out your channel and see if you drop it on your channel!
