I don’t like snakes. But it’s pretty interesting to learn about them.
In case you didn't know it, these things can be lightning fast; when, they want to be. If you got bit, screwing around with him; we, of course, are supposed top feel sorry for you. Those things are DEADLY. I saw a much bigger one in Florida, years ago. I observed him, said hello and left him. What you should have done.. You're lucky... He gave you a pass...
It’s always good to know about snakes because you never know when you will come across one
Gorgeous specimen! ILove's comment is correct for North American coral snakes, but NOT for the Central & South American species, some of which have red and black rings touching. Coral Snakes normally are very secretive, shy and retiring, usually found hiding under something. They rarely bite unless grabbed, handled roughly or startled. This does NOT mean, however, that one should free-handle a Coral Snake . Although they have short erectile fangs, like other Elapids (e.g., Cobras, Mambas) they have very potent neurotic venom. Bottom line: Admire its beauty, but leave it alone!
Beautiful snake. Amazing how docile he was. I think I mentioned in another of your videos that I have encountered several here in Louisiana and the speed at which they traveled and disappeared under the pine straw was stunning. I kicked back the straw and they were long gone. One was huge for a coral snake.... probably 3 feet long and close to 2" in diameter. Your confidence is impressive.
dude I love you! I found my first coral ever finally just last week in Florida. I live in VA and drove 10 hours just to find one :D
There is nothing Bob Hansler can't do in the wilderness. He is a Renaissance man, but I'd much rather call him a modern day cowboy!
wow....love snakes, not sure i would handle this one....he looked agitated too
Watching him slither away is absolutely mesmerizing... keep up the videos.
+Garrett Millard Agreed, the way coral snakes glide over the ground is almost magical. Graceful creatures.
The color pattern rule only applies to North America. I think down in Central and South America red can touch black and it still could be a coral snake.Also do we know for a fact is the most venomous snake in North America? I’ve heard the Mojave rattlesnake might be the most venomous or even the Eastern diamondback.
Holy crap man. You are brave.
He's handling them because they are docile; bites are rare.
My son who is almost 2
Had a real close call today.
So happy he didn't get bit..
"This is not something you want to mess with." Proceeds to mess with snake. Love your videos
+WRiCH001 I find that many of my endeavors a questionable, and occasionally provide entertainment value : ) I'll keep making them, we'll see where it goes.
Beautiful colours, Bob mind as you go, good day.
👍🇬🇧
Hey, I've been watching your videos for a while now. Very educational, helpful, and entertaining. I also highly respect the way you treat wildlife and have an extensive knowledge of your environment. Keep up with the good work, I hope my words will reach out and motivate you to keep up the good work.
Red touch black, friend of Jack. Red touch yellow, kill a fellow.
I was taught Red and Black, Venom Lack. =D
This is what I was taught as a child growing up in the Florida panhandle.
Red on black friend of Jack. Red on yellow kill a fellow.
PS 400 get triggered much?
Don’t pick me to word play with today. Trust me it might get ugly.
*Good thing they are docile!*
You are smart to wear gloves. I read where their neck is actually deceptively muscular and strong and they can strike quickly and they do not need to chew to envenomate you. Yes you are accurate about venom not having the necrotic agents of the vipers but allegedly there is not much antivenom currently being made because it is too expensive too make . They have Crofab for the Rattlesnake bites and others for Cottonmouth and Copperhead but currently scarce and sometimes outdated anti-venom for Coral Snakes .
Fantastic video! Would you mind mentioning what type of camera you record with?
+YaBoyPsycho Sony HDR-XR160. Fair picture and its internat memory is outstanding.
Bob Hansler Thank you very much my friend!
Keep at it man! Love these!
Thanks for sharing. The slogan I learned, "Red and yellow, kill a fellow. Red and black, venom lack."
My heart's pumping like there is no tomorrow just watching you handle it. Nice video though, glad you didn't harm or kill him. Nice rule about their colours.
Thank you. i learned something new about another species of snake.
Dude why you do close to that thing ?
1 mistake and you’re in trouble. Nice vid. Stay safe.
hey again bob, good job and keep up the great vids
My Mom caught me playing with a Coral Snake when I was 3 years old lol! I have always loved animals & tried to catch anything I could get my hands on.
I just identify by Red Nose is a scarlet king and Black Nose is the coral snake.
On either snake you have to find the head before you pick it up, so seeing the nose is all I need to see.
Dude, dude, DUDE!!!
Damn!
Just saw one today out on the trail. Looked for that reas and yellow touching and yep, it was a coral snake.
That's a good size one
man appreciate all the stuff you're teaching me they never taught me that kind of stuff in the army keep up the good work carry on
+Rick Hunter Means alot. If there is anything that you think I aught to look into doing out here give me a shout. I've quite a list going and some pretty awesome support from the youtube community that I dont thank enough. I'll keep them coming. Have to check out the vid I'm posting tomorrow, pretty unique.
+Bob Hansler can't wait man this world turning upside down I take in as much knowledge as I possibly can be safe
Rick Hunter
I'm afraid that you are probably more right than either of us can know. Keep fighting the good fight.
Saw one in Goose Creek, SC on my mom & dad's back porch when I was a kid. Different subspecies, though.
Did you hear what he said? Thats a Texas coral snake..There are other coral snakes in the US that dont exhibit that red to yellow banding..
an outstanding video, bob.
+Junkyard Fox Snake did all the work ; )
it's a funny feeling playing with those snakes. I caught a scarlet king a while back but the anticipation when first seeing one is a rush. Lol
i have seen two of them , in my hometown in central florida . i saw one climb into a hole on a cinder block wall , i guess it was nesting in the block , and another time i was at a friends property that was dense semi jungle and i was sitting at a table eating lunch and i looked up and there was one less than two feet away coming over the edge of the table , there was junk next to the table it had climbed up to get onto the table . my heart skipped a beat because i could have gotten bit by it and people usually die when bitten by one of them
Really have to upset them usually to get them to bite.
Also one of the 4 elapids (cobras, coral snakes, etc) those being the AZ coral snake, eastern coral, Texas coral, and the yellow bellied sea snake
In America
That is a big Coral snake and a perfect color patern that is my favorite snake
Great footage, the best view of a coral snake I have seen. Never encountered one when living in Texas. I assume they like wetter areas of the state. Thank you Bob.
+Garland N The Texas coral is found all the way to the coast, not so much towards the desert. Definitely a forest/humidity reptile.
That snake looks amazing
Beautiful snake
Very cool. Coral snakes are rare to see. I've only ever encountered them while digging or near water. Never seen one above ground like that.
Yeah they are a rare specimen but if found with one beware
Love your videos Bob. Always learn something. The snakes are beautiful creatures. I will be moving to South central NM in a year or so & I want to do some snake awareness training & hunting "searching for interest" that is.
You uploaded this on my Birthday:)!
Thanks Bob
Easy now 👍👌🇬🇧
hey Bob Hansler. How are you doing today? I do hope you ok.
Great video
Nice. They are beautiful. I've never seen one out in the wild.
I just caught a California mountain king snake. So beautiful
+TropoCal I was walking around in the Sierras around where I live with my rifle when I came across it. I had never caught a king snake before so I picked it up and held it for like half an hour. Then let it go in a nicer spot.
+TropoCal And the snake has Red, black, and white bands down its body
I have one living around here. I'd never seen one personally before about last year.
If red touches black friend of jack if red touched yellow kills a fellow
Man, those are deadly!
When living in Miami in the 70s....I heard of a girl who tried to capture a coral ... she mistakenly thought the head was the tail.... Dad worked at the Serpentarium... don't know what happened to her?
what a beautiful animal! Love them! thanks for the video.
That's cool my friend I will be watching
Just noticed the head. If it's got a black snout, you better watch out.
I liked that ,,,good vid boss. Never seen anyone tinker with a coral snake lol.
Hey mr. Hansler keep up the good work man
+Preston Rodriguez I'm getting after it. You taking care of business on your end?
+Bob Hansler yes sir u been doing good?
Preston Rodriguez
Busy beyond belief, happy as can be. Things are headed in a good direction.
+Bob Hansler they look like they r so when do u get ur own tv show?
Every child in Texas learn "red and yellow kill a fellow" when we are very young. At least we did when I was a kid.
Yes Bob is so so bray because that snake was in my back yard
Damn impressive. I'm amazed he was not pisses off at you. I suppose you've earned the right to relax when you can kill anything you want with a bite.
I didn't quite get the red an yellow part. The yellow was separating the red and the black. So how does that color coding work again? Thanks. And thanks for the informative video. Cheers.
+Doc Tari If red and yellow touch, you are dealing with a coral snake, if red and black meet, then you've something else. There are some absolutely gorgeous snakes that imitate the coral snake out there. I've come across a few at unexpected times. Always want to make sure before you grab for them, just in case.
+Doc Tari "If" RED touches yellow... kill a fellow. "If" RED touches black friend of Jack is how we learned it. Great vid and a beautiful snake.
+KravenMoorehead That is exactly how I remember it.
Bob Hansler Got it. Yellow and Red and I'm dead. Thanks for the lesson. Cheers.
KravenMoorehead Thanks. These little sayings make staying alive a bit easier. Cheers.
I don't always like snakes,
But when i do, i don't.
Just so you know. There is no Coral snake antivenin available in the U.S. the pharma's stopped making it years ago.
North American coral snake antivenom- M i c r u r s u s- f u l v i o s, is produced by Pfizer Laboratories. Production was halted in 2010 and those vials of antivenom were active up until 2019 when production was began again. Only one person has died since the late 1960s from a coral snake bite.
That cool but Scarry omg its a teaxs corl snake
I would not mess with that snake you have quite a nerve no snakes where I live it is too cold for them to survive most of the year nice video thanks terry
Is it illegal to kill them
Love watching the vids
You deserve a hell of a lot more subs
Very educational
Keep doin what your doin love your stuff 👍🏻
+Ian Lovrod Thank you. Going to keep at it. Hopefully the subs keep coming and I get to do this kind of thing for a long time.
Even if it's venmous they tend to slither away first they only bite in self defense and won't use the venom usually.
yeah I remember that rhyme you said from "Bill Nye the Science Guy" show .."when red touches black you allright Jack, when red touches yellow youre a dead fellow".. :-)
+Arm Mihr I'd like to meet that man some day.
Bob Hansler lol.. I think that would be an awesome segment on your channel man ..yeah ill be looking forward to that ..
Great channel.
that snake had an awesome home lol
It was devastated now it’s easy pray to owls
Probably one of the most uncomfortable handlings I've ever seen. good luck.
That is a large specimen
+Franklin Daniel We have seen another, larger out on the roads. Many small ones this year. More than we have had in many years.
Hunt one down and put a Kingsnake on it and make a video of it!
+Franklin Daniel No, I would never do that.
Franklin Daniel What a stupid, juvenile idea. Take your magnifying glass outside and burn some ants while you dream about the day a female will actually let you get near her without recoiling in horror. People like you, making the world an uglier place one idiotic comment at a time.
They are rear fanged I think
THXS,,,
such a beautiful animal!!
Great video. I have seen them in the Houston area but the one you have there is twice the size.
I would have really liked to seen the mouth open. Just for perspective.
+CncObsession I've found a few little guys here and there, made a bracelet from one that had been partially run over... This one is definitely on the larger side. I dont believe the coral snake opens its mouth or protrudes its fangs as many of the other vipers do. He had enough of me either way, it was time to let him go on his way.
That is the way I understood their mouths to be too.
For some reason it gave me a much more comfortable feeling that somehow their bite wasnt as instant. Like you would have time to react after the bite. I am sure in reality what it means is that the toxins are that much more powerful and very little is needed. Probably a false sense of security ;-)
Either way I treat snakes with respect. I figure you get an infection either way if you are bit, venomous or not.
I also understand the letting him go on its way. No need for any additional stress.
Great video.
I actually painted myself like a coral snake so I could walk through the really bad part of Miami.
Where was the place located at?
I think he films all over Texas he's from Odessa though.
Ur very brave
Oh my! It comes from a broken home now😕
Sweet video man. That takes a lot of guts.
+TDB Knowing the state of our Anti-Venom reserves... another questionable life choice ; )
+TDB And thank you for sending that message earlier.
Hey man no problem, doesn't look like your out of ideas yet to fall back on my mediocre list :P
TDB
I shoots em when I sees em. Thanks for more than that.
yea
I always thought it was if red touches yellow avoid the fellow, if red touches black still best stand back.
If the black engulfs the yellow, and the yellow doesn't touch the red, it's safe, and a milksnake. Ehat he is handling is a coral snake.
@@RavenIsAnArtist yeah but i just dont want to get bitten
Don’t depend on the rhyme. It’s not always true.
Elephant nads my man. Holy cow!!!
Ran into one of these in a VC bunker in Viet Nam the snake didn't survive our encounter!
i'm not like, an expert, or anything, but it would seem to me that snake was trying REALLY hard to get you to just leave him alone...
beautiful specimen however. quite large.
Narture just wants to live in peace.... but, if handling this guy for a few minutes educates a few thousand folks and leads to more understanding and less blind hatred... then he can sacrifice a moment.
word, i wasn't hating, just commenting, and maybe someone might read it, find a snake in the wild and instead of killing it, realize it probably just wants to be left alone...it was an awesome find though!
Wand Erer
The snake's first instinct is to flee. They don't reason so they can't want something to leave it alone. Once they feel like they're not in danger, they calm down.
RED AND YELLER TOGETHER ,
KILL A FELLER ...
Coral snake, relative of the cobra and venomous Australian snakes.
I have heard that the coral snake has tiny fangs and the bite is more of a chewing action to get the fangs to imbed in your skin so you may be able to shake them off of you before you get a dose of venom. Any truth to that?
If they get angry enough they become fast.? Not as quick with the venom as a Rattlesnake, but it only takes a second or two.
Why must you mess with the snake?
I wish I lived in a place with so many wonderful snakes here in England we have 3 species in the wild
The adder the only venomous snake here , the grass snake and the smooth snake
Come to Arkansas!
How to get a license to handle venomous snakes
Wow, can't believe how non-aggressive that Coral Snake is.
Blue Brick Wall snakes aren’t aggressive only defensive they will only attack when feel threatened
"friend to Jack" Is what I heard growing up. I ran to a Kingsnake and put my foot on him and uh...it was the real deal with the business end. He and I were at an animal park and he was just hanging near the education buildings, in a hole. They took him in and he lived 20 years. I named him Carl. I hope he liked air conditioning because he lived his life inside.
Snakes are one thing that I want nothing to do with. Even Gardner snakes scare me. Even sticks that look like snakes scare me.
Well, idc if u pick up or handle the snake. But by tearing apart that log you just destroyed a micro-ecosystem.
Short sighted on your part... Did you have a question!
You get a little to close for me.... lol. Thanks for the video.
When red touches black it's a friend of jack but if red touches yellow it kills a fellow
This is not always true.
isn't it dangerous for the snake and the handler to hold a snake by its tail? or is that just for non venomous snakes. obviously you wouldn't just grab a venomous species by the middle and cradle it. I'm just learning about snakes and how to care for them and handle them.
Nope..not me! lol
Wearing leather gloves for protection against the small mouth of a coral snake only works if you don’t have gloves with holes in the fingertips! Fingers and toes are where most humans are bitten with coral snakes. Not a good example.
