2 things I've learned from his channel
1 he knows snakes
2 don't play eye spy with him
Edit: Thx for the 21 likes I've never had this many
I was tought my whole life to be terrified of snakes. I would love to spend a day with a guy like you to finally completely overcome my snake apprehensions!
Me to
🤘🤘🤘 just make sure you bring a Glock to dispatch them. Joking always leave them alone in their territory but if a venomous or an aggressive snake is in your living quarters it’s open game
That cottonmouth us absolutely gorgeous
Yeah
I didn't know they could be that brightly colored! I saw the thumbnail and thought he was a copperhead at first!
@@colemorgan3356 they are close cousins.
@@fly_speck_cafe I know. I've just never seen a cottonmouth so light before. Usually you see them a lot darker. Their head markings are pretty distinct from copperheads though, so you can usually tell the difference from that if the colors are wonky.
@@colemorgan3356 I expect that one will darken some with age. But maybe not.
Here for the snakes, but stay for the chill attitude and cool “side quests” for those stranded fish and Tiger beetles from the other day.
Honestly love seeing habitat too, like in the middle of the vid when you walked up that log.
The sunfish was a Warmouth, and a nice one at that. I've been looking to catch one like that on hook and line all Spring.
These videos have really gotten my young boys into herping, or just looking for bugs and stuff in general. Yesterday we found our first Eastern King and got to handle it! We also saw one or two black racers. It was on a popular trail and when I told people it was a King a lot of them said "oh they're supposed to be good aren't they". That was good to hear, it's videos like this that help educate people (including my self).
I know this is a old post but all snakes are important even the Rattlesnakes. I understand we got to protect your family but at the same time protect are snakes and other wildlife.
Guy's telling the water snake to chill after he jumps the snake in the woods. I'd be squaring up too bro! Lol good grab
21:57 Oh I see a not fun time there... I always forget scorpions live in Georgia until I see one.
The catfish definitely survived lol. They can spend hours out of the water, so that puddle wasn't a death sentence for it quite yet lol
While cleaning around our porch, spotted my favorite slug eater, a mature Dekays. Made a new hide since there were too many ants in the pot to keep. Nothing super exciting, just enjoy them all!
21:55 a huge and good looking scorpion, right next to the king, nice to see
That cottonmouth was awesome, such a cool little guy
I take the family for snake walks on the Greenway in Forsyth. Never disappoints. Usually see as few as a dozen and as many as 2 dozen on a 2 mile stretch.
I kept jumping when that garter snake was striking at you! Like a dang 3D movie lol!
Thank you son a do appreciate your pod cast . When I was 6yrs old I hunted snakes to be around them and pick them up. Lol 👍
Absolutely spectacular nerodia
im in oregon so its so nice watching herp vids of snakes in other areas. (at least we have kingsnakes theyre some of my favs!)
I'm sure you knew at 21: 53 to the right of the eastern king something under some leaves something (a scorpion?) turned and scooted away? Coool!
I love your content
Beautiful copperhead.
The green frog is too cute!! Taking a nap!! 🐸☺️
That was a bullhead catfish one of the only catfish that is native to America and there aren't many left good job
Cool cottonmouth! 😎
What a leap, Noah... great catch! Good eyes 👀 Caitlin. Gorgeous Green Treefrog. Nice Chain King at the end.
I used to always flip things over to check for snakes underneath. Cool video!
I just had a run in with a cottonmouth 😮 it got scared and went back into the woods. I hope he stays there 😭and sir you are brave. I probably won’t check on my plants in that area until winter 🥶 and I’m glad I was looking for snakes just incase. I had been moving the wood and hay debris but it was in high grass. 😭
Gonna go herping later this week (weather dependent) in Harbison state forest SC, a spot also known for having an abundance of scorpions. I'll be out there with my trained EMT and reptile lover friend. Wish us luck! You're also welcome to stop by, though I know it's a bit of a trek for you.
Love the vids bro , proud to say I’m the fifth person in my state to have a female spotted anaconda for conservation, so now I have the three largest species in the world..anaconda, reticulated python, & Burmese.. come to Nashville & looks for some snakes !
Love you’re videos
Man I used to rescue fish all the time that got stranded from floods haven’t in years tho life gets too busy. Great video as always
that was probably a Georgia state record bullhead catfish😭😭💯
Right?? I'll tell ya, pound for pound, those bullheads have to have one of the strongest bites for an American catfish. Lol
Most definitely a record here in PA
Found a Dekay's Brown Snake in my backyard last week. Cool little guy. I had never seen one before and i don't really know my snakes as well as i'd like (but learning). They have an interesting pattern, and i wanted to be sure what kind of snake it was living in my backyard. Not knowing what i was looking at i thought it might have been a baby Timber Rattlesnake, although after doing some research that clearly wasn't the case. Neat little snakes though.
Always find his vids relaxing
Beautiful 👍
I picked up a cottonmouth out in Florida when I was younger....it later bit my grandfather and sent him to hospital
AWESOME!. Awesome. AWESOME.
The scariest word you use is "usually." I want 100%.
Nothing in life is 100%!
@@NKFherping but death and taxes.
I love watching your videos and would absolutely love to go with you or someone like you one day but I would drive you crazy with so many questions I love to learn new things
Very cool vid! I'm happy I stumbled upon your channel!
Snakes our my favorite animal
My property is covered in copperhead, but I've found them to be very mellow. I think you would have to step on most to get bit.
Why did I still jump over a damn Gardner snake that I ain’t holding or anything else😂😂😂
My dumbass even read your comment before I watched it and still hit the roof.
Look at that beauty!
before he passed away i was helping my grandad work on his property clearing wood and stuff..all of a sudden i heard him say uh oh i just got bit. It was a copperhead and we were in the middle of nowhere i had to get him on a 4 wheeler and get him to a clinic. I looked at his hand and said you better take your wedding ring off, when he did his hand and arm swelled up like a damn watermelon it was crazy looking.
First like and comment great vid
your close but your second
For anyone wandering 18:27 is a warmouth bream and 18:46 is a blue catfish.
I live near the Atlanta area. I’m 17 about to be 18 I love snakes I grew up the past like two three years watching your videos and it made my love for snakes I was wondering if you could herp with me sometime because I never as much snakes as you do
That blue gill type fish looked like a war mouth.
21:55 the Salamander? head that disappears in the lower right corner while you zoom in on the King!
Possible scorpion?
Scorpion 🦂 for sure.
It makes me so happy that your seeing green smiles, here in south Florida near Naples, the population is decimated. 15 years ago I'd see 3 to 5 a day in my yard now I see 1 or 2 a year. I hope the brown anoles can't keep moving northward!
That's green anoles, damn spell check!
I’m glad you can thumb fish
Big ol Scorpion by the kingsnake around 22:00 mark!
I’ve always heard cottonmouths can’t be found in or around Atlanta. I live in Cobb county and have never seen one my whole life here. Do you know why that is?
Not sure why, they’re on the south and west sides of Atlanta but don’t seem to come quite as Far East as Cobb County.
I’ve seen them in Cherokee county a few times, but not often
@@NKFherping yeah it’s extremely weird. I figured if there’s one person who would have seen one in this area it would be you. My grandfather’s family used to own a large farm on nickajack creek in south Cobb and he told me he saw them occasionally in the 50s as a kid. but I spent my whole childhood growing up playing in that creek daily and only saw water snakes and an occasional copperhead. The habitat is perfect but there is just some weird repellent for cottonmouths apparently.
@@chrishensley1785 i live in Cherokee county too, where I go gold panning, I've seen probably 4 different cottonmouths so far this year.
The one fish you didn’t know is what we call a war mouth brim it is like half bass and half brim
[3:30] | This cottonmouth looks kind of brighter than the normal cottonmouths.
Nice vlog Noah. You always say we when you go hunting. Maybe sometime you can show who you're hunting with. I'm a father of girl's and they like snakes. You have a few girl's that go out on the hunts with you. It would be nice to show them once in awhile. I would like to teach my girl's that other girls like snakes too.
You should show them Snake Discovery’s channel if you haven’t already, the host is a very smart lovely lady 😊
Have you considered that maybe the girls I spend time with don’t want to be exposed to creepy people on the internet? Or that they simply don’t want to be on camera?
@@NKFherping A little rude with your response. Yes I have consider this. I'm not a moron, Like I said I'm a father of girls. I just felt it would be nice to show them, girls in non traditional roles. If they don't want to be on camera, then I fully understand.
I’m also not a moron. And I’m not accusing you of anything to clarify, but as a father of girls I’m sure you understand my reasoning. I have a reason for things I do and do not include in my videos, on the contrary some might consider it rude to assume that I don’t. But as Holly said above, there’s an abundance of snake loving females on the internet and quite a few make appearances in my videos. Prying about it just came off suspicious, I’m not trying to be rude here.
@@NKFherping Unscribe
Wanna start off by saying that I love the content! Could you possibly show us/me more frogs and turtles? Love seeing those types of animals. Love from Sweden
Dude. I find snakes that are shedding in your hand fascinating and I’ve seen two so far on your channel which you didn’t record. Is there a reason you don’t record such a rare and fascinating natural and satisfying thing? You showed half a shed once but the water snake you caught on this video you didn’t show at all. Please film the next one for us. We who herp vicariously through you would love to see it. Keep up the awesome work.
Look at 21:56 bottom right hand corner, a hidden scorpion moves under a leaf.
The “bluegill type thing” was a red ear sunfish
We have some great spots for you to look for snakes about 30 minutes outside Savannah
MAN I WANT MY SON TO BECOME LIKE U
First
Can you turn the captions on please and thank you?!
Next to that copperhead at 13:56 was a canebrake!
At the top of the screen?
So what I thought was a king snake in my yard may have been something else. She was black on top with yellow spots on the underside.
One of the first three ringnecks you flipped was missing his entire tail!
I found a nice king snake in oak Creek the other day.
You said people get tired of seeing copperheads on the road at night. I never see them on the road. When do I want to be out on the road to see them?
Didn't think there were Cotton mouths in Metro Atlanta.....
So kings eat cottonmouths?
Kings eat every snake thats not way bigger then them
They are immune to the venom
Idc I have had to mini closes in counters with a cotton mouth wile fishing
Regular herper in West Texas around the Lubbock area. Right down the road from the Palo Duro canyon. I've always just flipped at whatever times I'm out, is there a better time to flip for reptiles? You always make comments about the weather and temperatures and I just wanna know your thought process.
Hi nkfherping
I went fishing last week not going to say where nice big pond lots of black bass and man I want to get a big one to add to my bass collection on my wall unfortunately they were like a half a dozen copperheads swimming in the pond I caught on a lower because I was top water fishing unfortunately I couldn't get my lower back so I cut the line the next two came up on the bank and I shot them with my 45 lc shot shells.
Do you hunt for Bigfoot as well??
Question. Do both juvenile cottonmouths and copperheads have the green/yellow tails?
Yes, and so do quite a few other species of vipers including Pygmy Rattlesnakes.
Early gang
no way he pins this
nice try haha
@@lisapilato2916 🥲🥲🥲
You mentioned "raking" to find those Brown Snakes--is there a particular way you like to do that to find but not harm those little snakes?
Just gently raking through the leaflitter.
@@NKFherping - ah, exactly as it sounds--I will attempt to refrain from stupid questions but I make no promises!
0:45 did you notice the lizard?
Very good vidéo, what's your camera ?
I live in Cumming GA. My son really wants to go looking for snakes but every time we go looking we never see anything! Where do we go look
Big Creek Greenway is a great place to see snakes. Tons of watersnakes this time of year.
@@GraysonCarr thanks we went this past weekend and saw about 20 midland water snakes
Do cottonmouths typically smell musky like dead fish?
Pit vipers and a lot of other species of snakes can release a foul musk when they are agitated⚕️
Iove looking for snake lizard
Are ring snakes poisonous
Where is this place?
Hey NKFherping i live in Pennsylvania one of the most common snakes is a garter snake but i haven't been seeing any snakes i need advice
I'm not NFK..but look for cover...trash piles, plywood laying on ground, tin, rocks, when it gets real hot out, try road cruising at night...slow and easy..especially after evening storms.Keep in mind, in general snakes need cover, food and optimal temperature.
What he said ^
I wouldn’t doubt the slimy stuff on the garter was slug slime. Garters love slugs
Cottonmouths in Atlanta?? Isn't that Piedmont?
Yep, Cottonmouths occur sporadically throughout the Piedmont.
Do you think we may have some in piedmont N.C.? W-S,Gso,High PT.?
I highly doubt it, a lot of typically coastal plain species come into the Piedmont in Georgia and Alabama that don’t make it that far inland in the Carolinas.
You a crazy for not wearing boots
Hi
Ok
hello
5:54 I see a snake, *dives on top of it*
ngl I do the same thing lol
That's what she said.
Yooo i went fishing today and caght a sucker fish Can u pin this
Yooo u pined it
I have a pet snake that's a king snake
What in the world is an Erythrogaster? (nevermind, I looked it up. Gotta love the internet. only it and you would ever know what an erythrogaster is)
Plz herp in NC
It's hard to kill a catfish.
Twelve at 13 minutes. Ole ignoramus here. We call the side dots on a Cottonmouth “bullseye”. Copperheads don’t have that.
nope
