Thanks! I see you're almost at 30K. That's so awesome. Love your channel. Yeah, the iPhone did a pretty good job. LOL< I doubt the aviation guys will make it to the end!
I see that Easter Egg in the description. You hit this vid at the golden hour, nice colors. That blomhoffii, such a cool-looking snake. Nice find. Glad you went and shared this.
Awesome Lou! I’m an ultralight pilot and a snake lover. I’m going to be 60 years old and I still have a pet Arizona Mountain King snake. I love the mix of aviation and snakes. Keep the videos coming just the way you always have done them!👍🐍
Ultralights, something I've always wanted to do. Maybe someday! AZ mountain kings are my favorite. I'm hoping to see one in the wild this year. Thanks for the support!
There was an old scoreboard down by a creek when I was young. We would find Garter snakes by the dozens throughout the summer. Best times of my life! 45 years later, I still look for snakes and it never gets old. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks Lou! That mamushi was awesome. Also very cool shot of flying through the clouds at the end. I'm a fan of aviation as well but I also have always liked snakes. Mostly vipers.
being a student pilot this channel is perfect i love snakes and flying it fills a nitch the internet doesnt have id like to see some cockpit videos to your destinations and back with you landing checking into your hotel and leaving to go snake hunting thanks for sharing from hot hot hot palm springs
Thanks so much. Yeah, that was definitely not in my comfort zone! Funny thing, I've never seen anything under that rock. Bad mindset to have before flipping it.....
Hi Lou, it is nice to see your vídeos again. I like them very much and in my opinion they are very educational . I had a long career as freighter pilot. Many nights flying, and day stops abroad. Now I’m enjoying my early retirement in Spain. Sometimes I still missing it...but not very much😉 Regards: Javier
Nice camera shots of the Viper! Sometime when I am visiting my family out in Orange County we will have to go snake hunting together. I used to drive Whitewater River and other SoCal desert roads in the spring back in the 80's back before there were any crowds..good times..Catching Sidewinders, Chuckwalla's, Desert Iguana's, Desert Banded Geckos at my parents second home in Palm Desert, also catching beautiful ring neck snakes in Laguna Canyon, etc etc. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, I know it takes time but guys like me who love snakes but can't go as often as you do appreciate it..Thx!
I like the videos, a mix of your passions, cool and interesting snakes, great aviation stuff that affords you the opportunity to find coolsnakes, and family that you share the love of herping with!
I am ex airforce! I love your mix of aviation and herpin. I live in Tucson herp capital of the southwest. Davis Monthan AFB is a quater mile down the road. Your the coolest Lou!
Lou! I love your mix of videos! That's what keeps me coming back!! I'm looking forward to the summer beach vids. More of your son skimming! Take care! Safe travels!
What makes your videos awesome is the fact they are different. Most guys out there will agree we like snakes and we like aviation both combine makes an awesome video. Plus you're crazy wearing sandals in some of the places you go to. Oh like going out in the water to look for a snake and there's alligators yeah. Oh and chasing a cobra I'm telling you you're crazy that is why we all like your videos. All of that is a compliment but at the same time I've done it myself I just never done a RUclips channel I've literally chased after rattlesnakes up here in North Dakota at night with out a flashlight on lol. Keep up the great work
fun living vicariously thru you!!- my 3 year old GrandPrincess (Badass) Junior Herper loves this channel too! So far she and I have found Texas Blind Snakes and a cool hognose- I've decided when she's out here in the country with me instead of walking in fear, she needs to learn!! When I was growing up in San Diego County our family would go out to the " "back country" we'd see or hear a snake and my poor Mom would grab us by the arm and take off running- wonder how many snakes we didn't see when we were running from that one LOL! anyway, thanks for a great, fun, educational channel. Carry on!!
Nice! Keep the snakes coming! Mamushi are one of the most common snakes here (the mountains near Beijing). We found two on a night drive last week (and two DORs). The ones here are a different species (Gloydius brevicauda), but they look exactly the same. It's blazing hot here today so I'm thinking of driving up there tonight!
The subscriber count can put a lot of pressure but please know that I'm just here for whatever you wish to make. Passion channels like yours are rare to find these days because of the algorithms but they are absolutely what youtube has always been about for me !
Pretty awesome how that gorgeous sunset as the backdrop during the close of this video as you were looking for even more snakes in the rice fields returning to your hotel looked like one of those faked 1940s screened in the studio effects! Actually awesome closing shot!! Criminal that even Japan is guilty of destroying what little is left of paradise and putting in a parking lot (or whatever that heavy duty destruction/construction is doing) over half of your favorite wildlife hunting grounds, Lou!!! Jim C.
Yeah, the new iPhone I got (12 pro max blast extreme)...something like that, does this HDR recording that looks really cool. Almost cartoon like at times it seems. Glad you stayed for the closing shot. Thanks for the comment. I noticed the same thing, and am using my iPhone a lot for shots like that now.
Wow I thought my construction heavy equipment job was the perfect job for my hobby but you got me beat hands down did not even know there was a Japanese keelback
Amazing video as always man... Us true fans don't care iffen it's Aviation or snakes, we love who you are man!!! That viper looked immature cotton mouth 100% though... Amazing sunset, amazing snakes, amazing you brother!!! Thanks fir letting us live Japan with you each flight man 😁👍
That’s awesome that you get to travel and see different species all around the world ! I’ve been a snake lover/owner for a while now and actually doing a discovery flight next week to start my training to get a private pilots license so the aviation video are always awesome as well!
@@loub747 Ended up getting postponed until yesterday. Absolutely incredible ! First time in a small plane since 2004. Plan on getting the lessons going asap 👍🏻
You yam 🍠 who you 🍠 yam!,,, love your videos, snakes, family and snakes aviation. At almost 65 I’ve learned to be and do what makes me happy. Do the same, you will never regret it.
You really do have beautiful views in your videos. I enjoy the variety. I wanted to go into the Air Force when I was younger (I didnt) so the aviation videos on top of the snake videos (main reason I subbed to you) are an added bonus for me! I adore your beautiful family, too! Take care and stay safe out there Lou!
Thanks Ian. Pretty simple editing on this one. Made it easy to put together. Hoping to get a little more creative in the future. I can't keep up with you though.....
@@loub747 nothing wrong with simpler edits sir. I love it when the edit quickly comes together. I look forward to your creative experiments, but you are doing just awesome as it is man. Telling a good story beats a flashy 3d transition all day long. You are already a legend.
I'm like you, I mix a lot of different videos into my channel but they are basically all the things I like to do. I love your videos, all I of them. And my dream is to fly a plane some day. But with that said, the snake videos are also great content and those videos were what got me watching in the first place.
Lou dont you worry bro, we love you and your videos and I personally love both aspects of your videos.we don’t get many reptiles here in Scotland so watching you travel across America and Asia hunting reptiles is awesome and add in the aviation aspect? In my opinion that’s pretty darn cool. I tell you this Lou... I wish it was me doing it.😂
Thanks so much for the comment and continued support. I try and share the passion, and keep it real. I've having fun, and that's what it's really all about. More videos on the way....
Awesome again. I'm always happy when the new vids come out. I see 9 minutes and I get the hot coffee next to me and know I'm going to be happy for 9 minutes. :)
I really appreciate that. These videos let me share the outdoors, which is a special part of my life. Comments like these keep me going. Believe it or not, these videos take awhile to put out.
Well I like your videos, Lou! They certainly help me reduce my fear of snakes and when I return to Japan for good in the future I’ll be more inclined not to think the only good snake is a dead snake. Hell, I might even try picking one up, who knows?
@@loub747 I should have finished my sentence...your toes are not what freaks me out..lol it’s them possibly getting tagged one day🐍 anyway I love your videos and I anticipate an amazing find every time you flip a board!;)
Love the passion and effort you put into making these videos - aways a delight - hope our paths can cross some day - thank you! Be well, take care! Steve L. from Pittsburgh and (currently) Thanh An, Can Tho Province
@@loub747 Hi Lou - that's Pittsburgh, with an "h" - Pennsylvania - not Pittsburg, CA, FL, KS, NH, or OK! No offense taken! Be well, and happy herping/flying!
I guess that makes me an odd one, I love the aviation and the snakes. Throw a couple supercars in the mix and we may be brothers from other mothers. Keel up the great work buddy!
Hey my friend, your channel is very unique and entertaining. Don't change a thing. Just focus on all of us who enjoy your videos and don't give a whole lot of thought to the people who don't. The subscriber count will keep rising no matter what because you create fun and positive content, which is what this shit world needs more of!
Hey! I live in Japan in the Mie region. Your channel is amazing! I particularly like the way you mix and edit your videos! Images of the plane, everyday at the hotel, weekend with your beautiful family! And yes! snakes! I am scared to death and impressed by your courage! I'm Brazilian and I used Google Translate to write in English so I don't know if it's correct 😂 Anyway, congratulations on your crazy hobby! I try to keep track of all your videos!
I enjoy your videos, no bull or hype. I often see snakes mistakenly, I am so keen on finding a snake suddenly the whole environment is alive with potential snakes, every stick is a snake sunning it's self.
Thanks! I try and keep it real, without the hype. Tough to get any views that way it seems. Yeah, the potential of finding something is what keeps us going back! Good times out there await....
I Like Both aviation and snakes!! You know I lived in Japan for 1972 went around in the countryside around Nara and stuff and I had absolutely no idea that Japan had poisonous snakes I knew that some of the Southeast Asian countries did like when they would be planting rice in the rice fields but I didn't know that Japan did so I learned something new tonight Lou thank you that was an adorable little snake with an attitude but cute nonetheless..
@@loub747 I am going down to Costa Rica, and part of my duties there will be relocation of venomous species around residences. Arent as much rattlesnakes up here as south but learning how vipers react to stimulus and understanding how to keep them as calm as possible is my goal.
On top of Saddleback mountain “Santiago Peak” in Orange County, my buddy found another California mountain king snake near the top. It was cool. This is the second one. He left it there however because they are protected.
That's awesome. I've found them further south, but haven't looked there. Maybe I'll have a look this year. I'll definitely let you know if I find one. Thanks, Lou
Another Awesome video Lou!! That Mamushi was awesome, thankfully he or she struck at the phone and not you! I’m guessing you don’t find them that often? Anyways great shots as always and I absolutely love the last clip of the clouds!
@@loub747 Oh wow! Hopefully you can find them a bit more often that would be awesome! I always watch to the end of your videos, you have one of the best herping channels out there. Definitely one of my absolute favorite channels, I’m never disappointed with one of your vids, even if you only find one snake it’s always great seeing another video from you!
That tiger keelback was GORGEOUS! Such iridescence! Is the mamushi actually a rattlesnake (has rattles) or just one of those that move the tail to move leaves etc? VERY cool!
I also love aviation and snakes, Lou! I fly regional jets, live in Arizona, and go field herping pretty regularly. Hit me up if your ever down this way!
A fellow herper pilot,,,,awesome! When I flew at the regionals, it was only turboprops. The Brasilia was a badass plane in its day. I’ll be in the Tucson area this year. Maybe Phoenix too. It would be awesome to meet up.
I have an idea, make a snake only channel and keep this one for aviation. I love both so i dont really care but i get a lot of people dont like snakes so to keep things organized you could do that. Who knows maybe that channel will grow even more then this one since there is such a passion for snakes worldwide
Yeah, I've definitely thought of that. It's kind of hard to start over though. Difficult to get views/subs for a brand new channel. Who knows, maybe I will...........
@@loub747 sometimes the risk is worth it. Ill definitely subscribe and im shure all the other snake lovers will too. Id say make one and post a video about it, i have my notifications turned on for you so ill definitely know
@@loub747 i think u would immediately get hundreds if not thousands of subs as long as u mentioned n ur videos that u had a new channel, I'm not big into flying but I'd check it out, it might interest me just atm idk much about it... again just an idea, can also just keep doing as ur doing and post everything right here, that works too
There's an "Oriental Odd Toothed Snake". I've seen only one alive, a long time ago. I've seen a few dead ones. Not sure about rare, but maybe not encountered all that often.

I'm so late getting back to comments! Too much family stuff going on. I believe you had something for me. I'm message you.
@@loub747 I paid you back the rent money for staying those two months at your place. We're even.
That viper looks like a cross between a copperhead and a cottonmouth. Sweet..thanks Lou
Yeah, that's what I think too. Crazy cool snakes.
coppermouth
Cotton head is actually what the hybrid of the cottonmouth and copperhead are called lol
Of course they're both adgkistrodon
Awesome Lou! I’m an ultralight pilot and a snake lover. I’m going to be 60 years old and I still have a pet Arizona Mountain King snake. I love the mix of aviation and snakes. Keep the videos coming just the way you always have done them!👍🐍

Doc David, thanks so much! Appreciate the support over the years!
Another interesting video with wondrous scenery, Lou. A great find in the Mamushi. And an outstanding outro. 👏🏻
Thanks! Got lucky with the lighting on this one!
Those tiger keel backs are so good looking I love em. Always a pleasure watching your journeys into the sticks!
Thanks! Yeah, cool looking snakes for sure.
Great video Lou! Love the in-flight view as a goodbye!
Thanks! Yeah, thought I'd add a little "aviation" for those who watched until the end...
Thanks Lou! That mamushi was awesome. Also very cool shot of flying through the clouds at the end. I'm a fan of aviation as well but I also have always liked snakes. Mostly vipers.
Thanks! Vipers are so cool. Hoping to see a few more different species this year......

Yeah, the airlines frown on cockpit video these days, unless your a cute female pilot. I would love to share so much, but it would cost me my job!
Love your vids man, keep doing what you're doing! Flipping that mamushi bare handed was nuts, your fingers were right there 😱
Thanks so much. Yeah, that was definitely not in my comfort zone! Funny thing, I've never seen anything under that rock. Bad mindset to have before flipping it.....
and flip flops probably 🤣🤣
I like your videos... relaxing.. peaceful... right to the point of looking for snakes...
Thanks! I try and make a story out of it without becoming too long and boring. That's easy to do! Good times..... Lou

I enjoy your videos, no bull or hype. I often see snakes mistakenly, I am so keen on finding a snake suddenly the whole environment is alive with potential snakes, every stick is a snake sunning it's self.
Thanks! I try and keep it real, without the hype. Tough to get any views that way it seems. Yeah, the potential of finding something is what keeps us going back! Good times out there await....
I Like Both aviation and snakes!!
You know I lived in Japan for 1972 went around in the countryside around Nara and stuff and I had absolutely no idea that Japan had poisonous snakes I knew that some of the Southeast Asian countries did like when they would be planting rice in the rice fields but I didn't know that Japan did so I learned something new tonight Lou thank you that was an adorable little snake with an attitude but cute nonetheless..
I understand that in Japan they actually have mamushi ice cream. Garlic, too. And seaweed, wasabi, soy sauce, and squid ink.
I'll have to look for that ice cream! Maybe make a video about it.
Great stuff again.
Thanks
Hello to you & Family
Hello
such a beautiful place and cool pit viper
Yeah, love both
Your an Awesome man
Trying to share my passion. Thanks!
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 me encantan tus videos 😎
Saludos de estados unidos!
I love Mexico!
Awesome I'm still trying to keep my channel going it's pretty hard to find herps when you're only herping in your yard lol
Yeah, that's tough for sure!
Awesome vid as usual! Not gonna say what that viper looks like...the other commentators have that covered! And I've said it before anyway! 🐍 Rule!
Thanks! Yeah, he sure does. I might make a comparison video of the two. Snakes rule for sure!
Came for the aviation. learned how to appreciate snakes
Awesome. I’ll try and get a few aviation videos up again soon.
Bro, this makes me so glad I use a extended selfie stick for looking at venomous species, still havent tailed a rattler lol, I'm a bit nervous.
Yeah, you never really know. Tailing a rattler, not sure it's something I'll try. Let me know how it goes!
@@loub747 I am going down to Costa Rica, and part of my duties there will be relocation of venomous species around residences. Arent as much rattlesnakes up here as south but learning how vipers react to stimulus and understanding how to keep them as calm as possible is my goal.
Sandals? REALLY?? "it is what it is"--or was, more than likely. Keep em coming.
Yeah, I live in sandals! More on the way.... Lou
On top of Saddleback mountain “Santiago Peak” in Orange County, my buddy found another California mountain king snake near the top. It was cool. This is the second one. He left it there however because they are protected.
That's awesome. I've found them further south, but haven't looked there. Maybe I'll have a look this year. I'll definitely let you know if I find one. Thanks, Lou
@@loub747 Right on Lou
Subbed for the snake videos, love them! Any tips on where to go in SIngapore?
Another Awesome video Lou!! That Mamushi was awesome, thankfully he or she struck at the phone and not you! I’m guessing you don’t find them that often? Anyways great shots as always and I absolutely love the last clip of the clouds!
Thanks! I wish I saw them more. I haven't seen one in a year. Glad you stuck around for the cloud shot.
@@loub747 Oh wow! Hopefully you can find them a bit more often that would be awesome! I always watch to the end of your videos, you have one of the best herping channels out there. Definitely one of my absolute favorite channels, I’m never disappointed with one of your vids, even if you only find one snake it’s always great seeing another video from you!
That tiger keelback was GORGEOUS! Such iridescence!
Is the mamushi actually a rattlesnake (has rattles) or just one of those that move the tail to move leaves etc? VERY cool!
It’s a pit viper. Some seem to rattle like this. No rattles on it. Yeah, the tiger keelbacks are sweet. I have a few videos of them on the channel
Intense moment. Made me jump when he did a strike at the camera. Lol
Yeah, a very quick strike with this species.
I also love aviation and snakes, Lou! I fly regional jets, live in Arizona, and go field herping pretty regularly. Hit me up if your ever down this way!
A fellow herper pilot,,,,awesome! When I flew at the regionals, it was only turboprops. The Brasilia was a badass plane in its day. I’ll be in the Tucson area this year. Maybe Phoenix too. It would be awesome to meet up.
Nice video!!in sandals as usual🙀🙀😹have you ever caught a habu in okinawa?
Thanks. I haven’t had the chance to look for snakes in Okinawa. Hopefully someday......
@@loub747 This year I went there and saw it up close, beautiful snake 🐍😃😃
Amazing snake.
Yeah, fingers were a little close on the flip.....
Have to visit japan some day. It looks amazing.
Yeah, a lot to see. Sadly I only really see the Narita area.....
What a find!
Thanks! Wasn't expecting it!!!
@@loub747 amazing
I have an idea, make a snake only channel and keep this one for aviation. I love both so i dont really care but i get a lot of people dont like snakes so to keep things organized you could do that. Who knows maybe that channel will grow even more then this one since there is such a passion for snakes worldwide
Yeah, I've definitely thought of that. It's kind of hard to start over though. Difficult to get views/subs for a brand new channel. Who knows, maybe I will...........
@@loub747 sometimes the risk is worth it. Ill definitely subscribe and im shure all the other snake lovers will too. Id say make one and post a video about it, i have my notifications turned on for you so ill definitely know
Perhaps could make another channel for the aviation? Or for the snakes? Just an idea
Yeah, I've thought about doing that. It's hard to start over with 0 subscribers though...
@@loub747 i think u would immediately get hundreds if not thousands of subs as long as u mentioned n ur videos that u had a new channel, I'm not big into flying but I'd check it out, it might interest me just atm idk much about it... again just an idea, can also just keep doing as ur doing and post everything right here, that works too
I live in Tokyo would be great to go searching with you one day!
Spring is best. I'm always herping behind the hotel in Narita. Hit me up and we'll have a look....
Construction noise caused vibrations that scared them away
Yeah, most likely....
How many vials of antivenom did it take to get your iPhone back on its feet? Don't apologize for the content of your channel, Lou--CELEBRATE IT!
Thanks! iPhone must have gotten a dry bite.....
Cool!
Thanks
Great views
Thanks
What would be the rarest snake you could find in that area?
There's an "Oriental Odd Toothed Snake". I've seen only one alive, a long time ago. I've seen a few dead ones. Not sure about rare, but maybe not encountered all that often.
Good video.
Thanks so much. Appreciated!
Hello 👋🏽 saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Hola mi amigo. ?Donde esta en Mexico?
@@loub747 Tijuana Baja California 😎 siempre veo sus videos 😉
Keep those Asian hornets over there please. As for the mamushi, it looks a lot like a small cottonmouth.
Yeah, it definitely has that cottonmouth look to it.
