I’d be more worried about black widows. I have never snake bit flipping.. but I wear gloves for black widows in KY.

I love those black rat snakes. I have a single bay garage and had a problem with field mice gettiig in but one day a black rat snake arrived and he/she took care of my mice problem.Those snakes are always welcome at my place!!

I’ve spent my whole life tromping through the woods in the metro Atlanta area and I can’t believe I’ve never been snake-bit, knock on wood, I’ve almost stepped on a copperhead a couple of times. I always keep a stick out in front of me in case one strikes at me before I see it. a water snake struck at me in a creek last year before I seen it and scared the crap out of me, it was on a log while I was looking for arrowheads and I didn’t see it, thought it was a copperhead until people told me it was a banded water snake, those big rat snakes are beautiful, great Video Buddy, Thanks For Sharing!!!

Don’t confuse bravery with pure stupidity, eventually he will learn the hard way. You don’t go tromping around in high grass wearing shorts and tennis shoes, you wear snake chaps or tall snake proof boots or both. They only found copperheads which can wreck your day but who’s to say there weren’t rattlesnakes around? He sounds like a little nerdy guy who thinks he knows all and the snakes are harmless. It’s usually those kind of guys that when they get bit are shocked that it happened and can’t understand why.

Though I’m not fond of snakes, I did enjoy the video. Something I’ve learned is to expect to find snakes under discarded tin and plywood.

I love snakes ! I have a 30yr old ball python! Captive born had her since 3 mths old! I'm 72 now! When I expire she already has another home to go to!

Found a fresh 4.5 foot long skin by my AC unit a couple days ago here in Athens, I hope I get to see its prior owner soon.

btw love ur vids, they got me into herping and have been on three out of country herping trips since

Those black rats and coppers must be eating pretty good. They were thicc! I like the bike cruising even if it hasn't produced a banger yet. Glad you added it in.

Copperheads getting Crunk. Fantastic content as always. I don't remember seeing many red bellies this year yet on your vlogs. Top knotch herping by a top knotch herper. Thank you for the hard work you put in the field. YOU THE GOAT BRO! Catch you on the flip-side. Richard and Heather from Arkansas

I always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing. Many blessings.

Is it my imagination or are the copperheads unusually active / aggressive in this video.

We like the way you say girthy. And bro-ther.

Beautiful copperheads!

Great video. I used to do this everyday after school in California. I’d love to do it again, but the ticks here in Tennessee are what keep me from being more adventurous. It’s finding them later in my private places that bother me the most😂

Thanks again 👍

Great video guys.

Love the video! Love them snakes.

Nice copperheads, black ratsnakes and those salamanders that are otherwise rare in the warm season.

"Only gray rats bite" I wish I'd known that yesterday when I got bit trying to move one out of my shop LOL

Ghezz, what is up with all of the sheet metal ? Is it just abandoned. I could use some for my shed build.

Autumn in a pocketbook and put beside the road 😂😂

Awesome😊

You'd fit right in up in Blue Ridge, GA we've got street named Snake Nation up here.

Glad i missed that part of atl when i lived there 😂

I learned today that some five lined skinks will attack and eat yellow jackets. My large male caught a huge queen Southern yellow jacket and ate her because she flew down in their enclosure. I've always thought that they would leave bees and wasps alone but they are braver than I thought.

Id be wayyy more scared of coming across a yellow jacket nest than anything else...

“I don’t want beef!!” How about venison?😂😂

That deer probably had a fawn hid away in the bushes. I found a nice black ratsnake under my carport here in Virginia. He now resides at my neighbors barn, he loves them. You think he'll come back? The snake not my neighbor, lol. He's about 200 feet away with bushes in between.

Can't believe you are sticking your bare hands under the tin and boards! Wearing shorts no less.

As they say seek and you shall find

Amazing black rat snakes, some of the best I have ever seen. Why are the rat snakes, much more black in that area where you are herping.?

How do you not get covered in poison ivy? It’s everywhere

Do u catch any to take home??

Isn't Pantherophis alleghaniensis the Eastern Rat snake ? Not Central? I thought P. Spiloides was the central or gray rat.

@NKFherping

Ай бұрын

The newest taxonomy I’ve chosen to subscribe to on the channel lumps Black and Gray Ratsnake phenotypes into one wide ranging species, the Central Ratsnake (P. alleghaniensis). This effectively sinks Gray Ratsnakes as a species, which I agree with as there is a wide intergrade zone and no real barriers to gene flow.

What are you collecting the tin for

Oh No, Oh No!

Last !

I get so nervous about you guys tromping through all that poison ivy - you must not be as reactive to it as the rest of us...

Imagine being bit by a snake and not breaking character

Very unlikely, Ratsnakes are rodent and bird eaters. Racers and Kingsnakes that are common in these same areas will though.

Probably ate a brown snake.

Kings yes. Rat snakes no.

Not to smart to lift that stuff up with your hand that is what metal rods are for

I got a black rat living in my pole barn for years he is atleast 7 foot the other day he had a squirrel tail hanging from his mouth.also flipped a Albino brown snake.

Pick it up by the tail and shake it, it will let you know what it ate😂

Since I've started watching this channel and Will Roberstons channel I get a lot of snake videos in my feed. A lot of it is very reckless and dangerous behavior involving venomous snakes. One channel that started popping up is a young dude who's super annoying. He picks up rattlesnakes and coral snakes. Not smart.

What a shame that’s all you for a week. 14 minutes……………..😢😢😢😢😢
