    Super random but thanks for consistently keeping the channel PG with language. I enjoy sharing these with my 4 year old and hopefully my younger kids as they get older. We enjoy herping in our property!

    @@typicalshenaniganz yea cruising has definitely been paying off this year. The first Mole King I found was a flip find though. Kings seem to like the time before and after storms. Haven't quite pinpointed it, but warm overcast days tend to be better for finding snakes in general.

    Garter snakes used to be so common where I lived in Western Washington in the 60’s and 70’s, I’d catch as many a I could carry by the tails (bring them home, put them in a bucket and they’d escape to live another day)

    I would have to have a lot more confidence in my vision and a snake's unwillingness to bite before I would go herping in Copperhead and Timber habitat with open toed sandles. This was another excellent episode. Those first two box turtles were really vivid with their wet shells. Also, weirdly I don't see the upvote button for this video, only the thumbs down button is visible.

    I was sitting on my back porch about a month ago and noticed something odd swaying on my fence, it looked odd because it was so light colored at night, it ended up being an albino rat snake, that was a very cool find. I let it go and now I wish I had kept it.

    I’ve flipped hundreds and found nothing some days. Other days I’ve found many. Mostly common stuff but some good. If you are not flipping anything move to another spot. And keep moving till you do find something. The best flipping is in cooler weather like spring or fall. Early mornings or afternoons. I’ve been with Noah on days where we both flipped hundreds of rocks and found very few snakes. While covering about 7 miles of terrain in the mountains. Good luck and don’t give up!

    Exactly. Yesterday he did eleven and a half miles and found a few. He works his butt off. Sometimes the snakes are mostly on one side of the hill and not the other depending on what side is wetter or dryer, what side gets morning or afternoon sun, etc. Sometimes it’s an extreme difference. I’ve seen mountain sides where one side will have a ringneck and maybe a garter but the other side will be covered with timbers, copperheads, garters, and more. I’ve hunted for days in the Sandhills without finding anything and the next time I go I’ll find 10 in a day within just a few hours.
