    Softshells are so cool! They look so odd you'd expect them to be a species from a different country!

      ... they prolly do got them sukkas in other countries big bro, but now, all jokes aside, if you really want to see a weird looking turtle, that super strange looking, and cool af, that is, if you're not afraid, then look up Matamata turtles...if you got what it takes to handle it...

    Thanks for sharing your videos, I was desperately hoping the whole day that this evening (in europe) you'd drop a video. 🙌
    I'm in hospital for 9 days now, after being bit by a tick, so I'd like to take this opportunity for the following message to all fellow herpers:
    Have fun, good luck finding herps, stay safe and please don't forget to take precautions for ticks/mosquitos/all sort of parasites! Don't be lazy on that like me sometimes, this time it caught me.

      How did you react to that tick bite? Leg swell up? I get bitten lots, but rarely have a reaction.

    • @LeBabo47

      @@jmmarshall5492 I was bitten at the right ball and now it's so swollen that I'm close to losing it, and the antibiotics took a long time to finally work.. now it seems like it's going in a good direction says the blood test, but the swelling still won't go down.
      I was bitten like 200 times before and never had anything really.
      My brother was not so lucky, he doesn't go herping in the woods and stuff, but he had like one tick and got lyme disease which paralysed half his face, he almost died but after 3 weeks of antibiotics he's fine now.
      I also know some persons who somehow never get ticks. When I went into the wood with my granpa working on something, we came back after short time, I look for ticks and found 5 in total, he had none 😂

      @@LeBabo47 Wow, you've had a tough time! Really sorry to hear that! I've noticed that as I get older, my body is starting to react more to both tick, and spider bites. Even mosquitoes are causing a reaction. I think I'll probably start wearing long pants and socks/shoes when hiking. Before I was just wearing shorts and sandals like Noah does, because bites never bothered me much. Yesterday I got bit by a very tiny spider and it turned red, itched, and made lower part of my leg swell up. YIKES

      @LeBabo47 2 года назад +1

      @@jmmarshall5492 I usually don't react much to bites on ticks, mosquitos or spiders, really the only strange reaction I had before was when a nonvenomous european smooth snake bit me, I got a small infection causing skin rash.
      This tick now must've had some nasty bacteria, I've made many tests but they couldn't tell what exactly, and I don't care honestly as long as it continues to disappear 😂
      I can leave hospital maybe tomorrow after 10 days, and switch to antibiotic pills, at least I could get some stuff done at home then.. the bitter part is in hospital, you have so much free time and you can not really put it in any senseful way 🙄

      It's *in situ* Latin for in place. You had the right idea of it. It refers more to the animal as found vs after being moved by the finder.

    I find Cottonmouths odd. There's no reason for them to be venomous. They live side by side with non-venomous Nerodia which hunt the same prey. Nerodia are good hunters and get the job done so why did nature drop a pit viper on us?

    • @NKFherping
      @NKFherping  2 года назад +2

      Cottonmouths are much more generalistic. They’ll eat just about anything, they’re like the vacuum cleaner of the swamp. They’ll even eat Nerodia.
