  • An absurdly productive day of herping in South Carolina! Not only did we find a lot of snakes, but we found some great diversity too!

    I love the videos guys! Thanks for sharing your finds! Grew up on a 70 acre farm. I’d remove king snakes and corn snakes from the horse stalls so they wouldn’t get trampled. I remember one of my most terrifying moments as a kid. Flipping big rocks in the creek looking for “crawdaddys” (lol) and a cottonmouth picked it’s head up and looked right into my soul. Scared the 💩 outta me. I’ve never ran so fast to the very day lmao. Thankfully I had my grandpa and uncles who took me herping at an early age to educate me on different species. I could identify any snake, frog, turtle, lizard I came across. Keep the vids coming!!

    I enjoy watching the diversity you find there. Here in the deserts of the Southwest it's mostly rattlesnakes that I come across (several species are common here). My question for you is do they purposely plant all these old hoods and corrugated steel around the property just to provide snake habitat? I don't see lots of other trash laying around, but there sure are lots of hoods and tin roof pieces.

    The pattern on that copperhead as it slithered away seemed almost like an optical illusion the way it rippled. Amazed and a bit disturbed at how many snakes were all around. I had no idea there were so many and so concentrated with different types all clustered together like that. Definitely has me rethinking flipping anything over in the woods - like ever.

    Hognose was the first snake I had experience with. I was a young boy in the country who loved the woods lake and swamp. After seeing a hognose for the first time and noticing their ability to flatten their heads as a kid it scared the hell outta me. I later told my dad I had seen a cobra. My dad laughed his ass off. Ive owned several snakes in my 53 yrs and caught and released copperhead in virginia in farm and people areas .

But why did you take the dog with you? It was excited all of the time and was creating an anxious feeling, which detracts slightly from the experience.

    I grew up in the southwest deserts and played in the hills near our ranch day in and day out with all my cousins...climbing, digging, etc. I'm really shocked we didn't run into too many snakes. We had mice, prarie dogs, lizards, toads, cotton tail, quail, squirrels, cats, piles of equipment and car parts everywhere, yet I rarely saw a snake in the barns or sheds or anything. I did almost step on a rattler near my grandma's house as I was running with a can of coke. Freaked out, dropped the can and told my uncle (who sadly killed it with a shovel). Also my cousin was using the outhouse and there were like 8 bull snakes (non-venemous) in there 🤮

      99 percent of snakes will not try to bite you unless you make a sudden jerky movement close to them or you pick them up. Even then most won't bite you. And my worst snake bite from a 3.5 foot snake felt like getting snagged on a rose bush. Snakes seem scary but they are mostly docile and even their bites hurt 10x less than getting cut or bit by a cat
