The snake isn’t fossilized, but is instead calcified. It could be ancient, but given its location and state, I highly doubt it. It’s still very cool and a remarkable find. That place is wonderful

I hate crawling under my car to change the oil. You guys do it with mud, water, shifting rocks, waterfalls in your face, bats, and other insanities. Thanks for taking us along!

This might be the trippiest place you've been. Feels like you are inside an ancient art gallery that collapsed - or even a video game. Surreal and #mindblowing

Amazing. The calcite encrusted snake skeleton was epic! As far as that large spotted rock formation, I’m thinking it may be some sort of conglomerate, almost like a pudding stone. Awesome video. You guys give a whole new meaning to pushing a cave.

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I would love to see it myself but I’m terrified of tight spaces and dying trapped in a cave is one of my deepest fears. Nonetheless, the wonder of that huge wall of formations, the fossils, the huge chambers and gigantic structures that make it feel like the humans have shrunk to the size of ants, it’s amazing. Thanks for letting me see it!❤

i dont know why it presents so uniform, but i think it's likely the giraffe rock is a formation of diorite in another host rock, you can often see it in conglomerates like this where it's a large chunk of diorite sprinkled in through granite or some other rock type, and because it's darker, it stands out as a round spot.

DUDES!! another totally awesome underground adventure! hey, know any geologists that could go along with you guys to identify and detail the totally cool types of rock, formations and fossils? give a description of how far back in time the rocks that surround you are? that would be cool.

(Verse 1) Three miles deep in the cavern's jaw, Me and my crew, we saw what we saw. An ancient snake, fossilized in awe, Locked in stone, a prehistoric claw. (Chorus) In the cave, where the echoes talk, We found a serpent, old as the bedrock. Three miles in, no need for a chalk, That fossil got the whole block in shock. (Verse 2) This ain't no tale from a storybook, We spelunkers, man, we the real crooks. Took a journey, a path that we undertook, Found that ancient snake in a hidden nook. (Bridge) Ancient as the stars, silent as a ghost, Three miles into the cave, we boast. An artifact of time, we raise a toast, To the snake from the past, our surprising host. (Verse 3) Now the word's out, spreading like wildfire, Snake fossil find, desire's getting higher. History in our hands, the stakes never dire, We the gangster geologists, uncovering the mire. (Chorus) Lights on our helmets, paths unknown we pave, Deep in the heart where the stalactites crave. Three miles in, it's the history we save, Ancient snake in the rock, from a prehistoric grave. (Outro) So we emerged from the depths with a story to tell, 'Bout an ancient snake, where it once fell. In the cave's belly, where darkness dwell, We found a piece of the past, and it's selling well.

Dudes you guys are bloody amazing please stay safe you have heard the stories been watching your channel for a long time your content awesome good luck my god be with you

​@user-hr2oi6jd7m where is the snake skin? A snake skin should last significantly longer in a cave environment and it's no longer there. If animals scavenged the carcass you would expect to see a lot more of the bones picked apart. Looks like it died a very long time ago and the scales have had time to full disintegrate leaving just the fossilized bones

"Wild Boys always shine..." Thats kind of how I see you all. You shine and excel at what you do. And thank you for that. This cave was just majestic.

Just Amazing, You two have inspired me to join the NSS and a couple of nearby Grottoes, Practice knots, read books and going on my first event in February. What kind of action camera do you use that records sound well and can survive the occasional underwater dive and the abuse of caving?

How do you make sure to not get lost ? Are you doing markers of some sort ?

I see the alluvial deposits all around you after the snake skeleton, and wonder if and how much gold is scattered in them! First a fault happens, then the fault gouge is washed out by the water, and you have your narrow passages in the cave system. But nature also fills those voids with minerals and crystals form, which is the building blocks of those caves where some people create a mine.

I wouldn't want to be the guy to take something out and then be doing heavy time because I didn't do my due diligence. The less we care about preservation, the more destroyed the world becomes, from carelessness. Following certain laws isn't a bad thing. Being worried about doing something illegal unintentionally, isn't a bad thing either. Better to be safe than sorry.

3:50 the flat top of the stalagmite on the left, shouldn't' that indicate tectonic plate movement, ground lift, drop, or shift, etc. at some point? How is the top flat without a cap? It would be rounded if no disturbance, right? (edit - I'm inclined to think it's more indicative of a past water level, after seeing more of the video, still very thought provoking).

You guys should add the walks through the forest in your videos, and add three time stamps for those who dont care for the hike.

Question… Any ropes that you come across, similar to the one that’s almost severed in this video, do you guys remove them as you come across them, or is there someone (property owners, etc.) that you have to alert to take care of it?
