I'm not sure shorts, flip flops and tall grass while snake hunting is the best idea, but on a lighter note, health care in Japan is really good and fairly cheap! 😂 but I love your videos so keep them coming!
1:46 how cool, it's like they're waiting for you. "Lou! Welcome back, where ya been?" 6:57 love those things, nobody messes with them. When you're finding those kinds of snakes, one is enough. Cool you found the sunglasses. 😎
Another video from Japan ! Though you didn't find many snakes, it was still awesome! The keelback moment was hilarious - all those preparations and then "AAAAgh, he's gone!" I would definetely grab it with my hand, especially when it's so tiny. I guess, I always do it that way.)))
Yeah, all that prep for nothing. Such is life. It is a venomous snake, so I wasn't going to grab it. Even though it's rear fanged. It also secrets a poison on it's neck. Not worth the risk, although I thought about it for a quick second.
Wow, a shame about that keelback. He looked so tiny and fast though, seems it'd be a rare thing to actually catch one. Anyway, great video, Lou. Lots of excitement! 😁
I caught my first snake today...OMG thank you for your videos and information. I let it go after about 2 seconds...I knew it wasn't poisons...because of you (forest rat snake)...being drunk helped! Thank You for your posts...I'm an avid hiker here and had several run ins with snakes...now I know not to fear.
Beauty of a keelback. Maybe next time you could just wear gloves? A lot of European herpers wear gloves for handling adders and I doubt a keelback could penetrate them.
Yeah, gloves would definitely work. I told myself a long time ago I would never handle a venomous snake, even a rear fanged one like this. But proper gloves would make it tempting. Hmmm
For a brief moment at 13:08 it looked like you wanted to use your hand to pick up that keelback. Would certainly be tempting! Great video as usual, though I'm not sure I agree with the sandals in venomous snake/centipede territory. So are these flip sites that you've setup yourself over the years or that you've found? You must have the largest distribution of flip sites out of all the other RUclips herpers.
LouB747 In addition to being a rail, Aviation, and snake geek I’ve been to Japan a few times and used The Keisei line and the Narita Express Trains through Chiba. Until this video, I had no idea that there were venomous snakes in Chiba. I was actually in Kariya Japan in Aichi Pref. and saw signs warning of venomous snakes. Thanks again for all your videos.
Yeah, 2 venomous snakes in the area. The Mamushi being the one you wouldn't want to get bit by..... ruclips.net/video/Qfs3GNnGN8c/видео.html It's my pleasure making these videos. More coming soon.
even on a slow day u seem to find more than I do in a week! I saw what I believe to b a red racer the other day but it made it into a culvert b4 I could stop the car and get out! other than that I've just been finding little plains black headed snakes found 1 bout a foot long which is almost max size for those guys! been seeing big snakes dead on the road unfortunately so I know they're around! just need to start finding em while they r alive
LouB747 I know you have hook but you were calling the tongs a hook. You don't/your not supposed to handle captive snakes when they're opaque {unless absolutely necessary} because it stresses them out so what do you think it does to a wild snake. Its a fact & any reputable snake keeper knows this.

Yeah, I sorta grew up on the beach, so I live in shorts and sandals. But you're right. More on the way.

I love flipping, it's like opening presents. Great videos, keep them coming.
Me too. Another snake video coming out very soon. Thanks for watching.

Great commentary as always! I like your videos as much for that as for the snakes you find!
Thanks so much. More vids coming. Gotta go and find some snakes though!
Thanks for the upload! I really enjoy watching your channel!
Thanks so much! More videos coming....

Anyway, great video, Lou. Lots of excitement! 😁
Thanks. I've seen them before. Got OK video, but was using an iPhone at the time....

That’s awesome. I’m not sure being drunk and chasing snakes is a great combination! Have fun out there.
0:02 you looked like the guy off the hunt for the red october lol
Lol, that’s me!
I had no idea there were venomous snakes in Japan till I found your channel. Fucking rock on bro! Cheers from Tokyo!
Yeah buddy. Tokyo area has a few. Cheers my friend. Maybe see you on the streets in Tokyo one of these days!

Great video man. Was hoping you would’ve grabbed some chopsticks to use on the keelback! Let’s get out when you are in SC
I LIKE that chopstick idea. Maybe on my next video! If you're up for it, let's do it. Maybe Friday?
LouB747 let’s shoot for Friday I can meet you down in sc for a z walk
Let’s go snake hunting, shorts, flip flops, tall grass - hilarious.
Yeah, I live in flip flops. Maybe don’t watch my Bali video….. Lou B

Oh my god, you are the captain who did AirDrop to Singapore 12 heavy
Seed yeah, that’s me. My airline wasn’t too happy about that video.
Lou,
I was keeping my fingers crossed for you on those keel backs.
Did you get a chance to go herping up here the other day?
Brian / FGS
Thanks Brian. I'll be up in Santa Cruz on Friday. Will have a look for sure. Maybe some garters out...???
Hey Lou I am guessing you are a 747 pilot??? I also fly a 757 pilot. It's always good to see colleagues in the game!! Oh I like snakes too!!
Sweet. Yeah, 47s for 25 years. 75s look cool. My favorite looking plane. Congrats on that. Yeah, snakes, cool hobby for sure!
Keep making snake videos love them
Thanks so much. More coming.

i think I would like to travel more.
Yeah, it’s always nice to see other places.
Bummer on the Keelback. Maybe you could get him safely with a pair of thick gloves?
Yeah, gloves would work. I try to not handle venomous snakes. I'll get him next time!
Were you in Tokyo or more in Chiba? Great video once again!
Thanks so much. I was actually in the Chiba area. I assume most people wouldn't know where that was.

Priority #1🐍🐍🤣👏👏👏
Yep
I'm here because some TikTok video says snakes are all over Tokyo.
Yeah, sadly they aren’t that easy to find……. Lou B
Lou, what is your favorite foreign country to herpe in? Safe travels!
Thanks. I really like Singapore. Hong Kong too.
Cool video.
Thanks Luke
I know you dont lije spiders Lou but watch out in japan for the redback spider! Invasive from australia has taken over in Japan
Interesting, I didn't know they were there. I'll have a look. Haven't seen one yet.
even on a slow day u seem to find more than I do in a week!

Man I'd be scared to death tall grass and sandals and looking for snakes
Yeah, snakes are actually hard to find. I really should wear proper footwear though.
@@loub747 thanks for the reply
Crap; now I have to go out and buy lightbulbs tomorrow.
LOL
Do you keep snakes at all?
I have a couple. Don't really have time for them though. May give them away in the near future.
Good thing about field herping is you dont have to clean up poop or buy food :)
Cornsnakes, and Kingsnakes are the easiest animals in the world to take care of, eat once a week and poop once a week.
how venomous are those keelbacks to humans?
LouB747 that is honestly so cool. you learn something new everyday
@@loub747 ... Did you know they have classed the Garter and Hog Nose as venomous now? Apparently rear fanged also...and not very venomous 😉
Yeah, there are a lot of venomous snakes where the venom isn't really a concern to humans. Still venomous though.
Do you expected a "Mamushi"?
I was hoping. Always like seeing one of those!
Darn it tt darnitt😅😅
Snakes on a plane😊
Big time
SNEK
Oh yeah.
I love your videos but you really shouldn't handle snakes when they're opaque & that's not a hook. Sorry but they're the facts Lou ☺️
Yeah, they are tongs. I have a hook too. And why shouldn't you handle a snake that's gonna shed?
LouB747 I know you have hook but you were calling the tongs a hook. You don't/your not supposed to handle captive snakes when they're opaque {unless absolutely necessary} because it stresses them out so what do you think it does to a wild snake. Its a fact & any reputable snake keeper knows this.
