    My 20 month old daughter loves this channel. Snakes are her favorite and she's always excited for what you find. She asks for sssss and I know this is what she means. We don't do very much screen time in our house, and you're her pick when we do watch! Her favorites are seeing northern water snakes hunting frogs at our local park. She loves your close-up road shots.

You’ve got so much biodiversity compared to this country, we only have six species of reptiles and seven species of amphibians, a lot of which are incredibly rare.

    In central Florida, on a road I'd cruised hundreds of times under all conditions, never saw a Crayfish Snake. Then one day at dusk after a few days of rain, they were crossing the road everywhere. This was a road through cattle ranch country with weed choked canals on either side. I'm guessing that's where they'd been hiding.
