I watch these late at night while I wind down and get ready to sleep, it’s super relaxing DONT know why
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.

Snakes birds turds, what’s the difference?
"It's pissing rain and there's a SNAKE!" That's hilarious
As someone who lives in the UK, I am very jealous of my friends across the pond who have access to all these amazing herps! 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. One day I’ll get a chance to come over to the South-Eastern states and herp, I would love to live there some day

@@jacobbevers8171 Its naturally occuring sulfur in the stone. Often the wells don't go deep enought to get past the layer of stone that contains it. West Missouri has the same issue, they have to go almost a third of a mile down to get passable water.
The snapper running was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen
That corn snake was epic! So much personality too 🤣
That corn snake was so cute bridging like that. Hard to imagine my pet corn acting like that.
That was one crazy mudsnake!

Wow good to see your posting a lot again
Love the trips you take with your dad!!! My favorite! Boy the first Corn Snake tried to bite your face off! The second one’s colors were spectacular! You both have Eagle eyes! You see them WAY before I do, which is not comforting! Enjoyed it!
25:20 the owl says ill give you a 2 second head start...shit you lost! never seen a barn owl walking and or killing..AMAZING content man
12:08 snake like I know! Lol couldn’t stop laughing after that!

Very amazing herping. Very nice box turtles, corn snakes and the mud snake. The chasing of the snapper and the aggressive corn snake were too funny.
I think you interrupted a secret fiddler crab meeting. Also I've never heard the term pissing rain before. I'll have to remember that. I havent learned all the American idioms yet. You guys have some good ones.

Not sure it's purely an American idiom - I've grown up with it in the UK. I'm also disappointed there was no link to the crab dance meme video lol Always amazing to get context on the size of these snakes, they all seem so large on camera, and then you see them being held and they're tiny and even more beautiful xD

We say it a lot in the UK. It’s quite a coarse term, you wouldn’t say it in polite company.
I recently moved to Florida and was growing bored of finding water snakes that I could find back home in Illinois. Found a mud snake and it blew my mind how pretty they are up close. Definitely a new favorite of mine.
Wow! That first dusky Pygmy on the road had a pattern like sacred geometry. Or Mandelbrot fractals. Crazy cool. Beautiful.
Dude says word on the street is the Grey rats are pretty chill. Thanks bud I got a laugh out that. That's probably the 1st time those words have ever been put together
Awesome diversity. That scarlet looked like a cartoon with such elaborate colors, lol. Great video!!
Hi
Dude, your best video yet. My kid loves your videos.! You and Will Robertson are the herpers on youtube!
That cool anole was like a natural pinstripe. That was awesome
I like when you see other wildlife, like the time you saw the heron and the bison, and in this episode the owl, keep up the great work, amazing video
Awesome video once again Noah!! 👍🏻😄❤️🐬
oh Lordy dorty, its a crab party !! lol. I love it ! beautiful work my friend. That glossy crawfish snake was awesome ! that was the first time that Ive seen that species. I have seen a few salt marsh snakes in here in south Mississippi but thats probably the nearest to that species. Very cool.
Awesome. The scarlet king, mud snake and last corn snake in particular were beautiful. My first rat snake back in the 1960s was a Grey rat. He was very laid back. The ones down there were juveniles. Maybe they're more testy.
Thank you for doing what you do! Respect!
Tht First corn snake is so cute launching up to bite so funny
U found the ever elusive Florida jumping corn snake 😂
Thanks for the downloads. I really enjoy your channel. So many beautiful snakes, I also like when you show other species of animals.
20:33 It's a hybrid!
I’m addicted to your channel. Your knowledge astounds me!🤗
I'm so glad I found this channel. So many cool herps. Keep up the good work!
I bet your dad hasn’t seen crabs like that since the 70’s😂😂
I loved the barn owl! While I'm sad seeing a snake get eaten, barn owls gotta eat just like everything else.
The mud snake was really pretty 🙂
I had to go back and watch this again. Mostly for the stunning Corn Snake at the 12:00 min mark. That color is fantastic. The super rain shower snake!
lol those are fiddler crabs! They breed like crazy and live together in the sand in huge groups! Super cool and great predatory fish food
Great video! Both those Corn Snake were beautiful and especial the second one, and pygmy rattlesnakes are always really cool. The mud and scarlet was really awesome partially because muds are my favorite snake and both of them are really cool!
Awesome snake finds. That owl with it's prey was really cool.
Want to thank you for your vids man, i herp all the time now because of your channel and how fun you make it to watch, seen a couple beautiful california kings the last couple weeks, love it 🐍
Those pitcher plants were awesome as well!
It's pissin...absolutely pissin.
Man Florida should be called "SERPENT TOWN 🐍" so many different kinds of 🐍🐍🐍🐍
That corn snake was PISSED! lmfaoo
Fantastic countryside And doing it with your dad Keep these films coming Realy well done Pete UK
Really like the vibe of this video and how you approach and handle whatever you encounter. New subscriber.
That grey rat and 1st dusky were amazing!
One of your best in my opinion! The gator, flooding, anoles, owl, snapper, mud snake, pygmies, kings. Just a great video all around loved every part.

Looking through your older videos while I wait for a new one! Been sickly so this has been a joy. Two comments: 1. I love the little "whassup dude?"s. Idk why but They Make Me Happy 2. I imagine "killed by owl in the middle of a road" is the only actually acceptable/exciting form of DOR find! :'D
“ oh that’s awesome he’s gonna bite my face isn’t he” had me rolling
My favorite character of this episode is the sassy corn at 12:03 . Such a cutie and so pretty too. Those belly scales are gorgeous
beautiful image of the corn in hand!
The corns are just stunning!
Glad you stopped to appreciate the flavas
Dude, you are so lucky! When I catch reptiles, they are mostly just like Gopher snakes, Fence lizards, Spiny lizards, Desert Iguanas, Long Nosed leopard lizards, Night lizards, Zebra tails, and 1 Alligator lizard. But reptiles are reptiles, I love them!!!
Man, that was pretty cool with the mouse coming down the tree leaving its babies to get eaten! Seriously I think that’s pretty awesome. They pick up the scent like that of that rodent going up and down the tree. Pretty smart snake.
That corn snake was gorgeous!!
Wow those snake are so beautiful...good work..I appreciate your video so much.. thank you 💞for this 💞
Just subscribed, please don't stop making videos. Your videos are my stress reliever.💖💖💖💖
Awsome stuff as usual bro!! Dont remember seeing the Glossy Crawfish on your channel before so that was cool! The owl footage was bad ass too!! Hope ya got the Pay Pal I sent ya & definitely glad to see you've replaced enough equipment to still get-r-done as always!!
I try not no let hot and dry weather keep me from looking around good places because sometimes you still find rare stuff. Blue coral is high on my bucket list for sure
Really nice finds 👍👏
What a beautiful corn snake, wow.
You hold those snakes like nothing.
Awesome video!!! 👍🏼😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
The corn snake and the pygmies were absolutely beautiful
Yeah...Central Fla in May kicked us pretty hard as well. Thank goodness for the Pygmys!
Those crabs were the inspiration for Meglovania
GORGEOUS!!! SNAKES!!!💯🐍💯🐍💯🐍💯❤️
That baby king was gorgeous 😍
Great video! I love the longer content!
At 17:45 I think you found the culprit for the weird holes in the box turtle shells, that big mean alligator, haha! Nice find!
I would love to see you go to “sell island” in st Andrew’s st park they changed the name from snake island for tourism it’s covered in Dimondbacks

Whoa, I remember when you only had a few thousand subs, like only a year or two ago. Always great content. Congrats.
Glossy crayfish snake. Never heard of. I love learning about new species.
Florida is one of the better places road cruising,found most snakes when raining and after it stops, scarlet kings and Pygmy rattle snakes 🐍 are also a favourite to hunt and find
I found a dead horseshoe crab on the beach down in Florida and it still had flesh in it I took it home and sat it down on an ant hill and they cleaned it out for me then I bleached it to kill bacteria and then painted it with resin..I found it in 1982 and still have it 😊❤
everytime the snake tried biting the camera my soul left my body 😭
that little king snake is adorable never seen 1 that small
So many snakes, cool. Greatings from germany....
Neat to see alot of animals in you channel respect for you
Noah coming in clutch with videos this week hell ya bro
I just can’t imagine how these animals scare people. Try grabbing up and handling ANY cute fuzzy mammal and see how that works out.
my kind of guy I love doing what yall are doing,
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.
You are correct on mud snakes- I've kept many, and rarely had one under 3.5 ft that wouldn't accept tadpoles and the occasional frog. Never tried juvies on newts, as the ssp in NY is different and I was worried about a difference in the toxins. Have had some hatchlings that would take dragonfly larvae, like red bellied swamp snakes, as well as appropriate sized tadpoles. None ate crayfish, even freshly molted, which isn't to say it doesn't happen in the wild.
Great content and subbed! That box turtle looks like it got caught up in a fire but luckily survived 👍
Seriously great herping in Florida! I mean, horseshoe crab...ok, not a herp, but still cool! And that snapper RUNNING across the road, not to mention the gator! We get those striped brown anoles here in Orlando all the time.
It came out quite nice. I would not be a good snake hunter first time he jumped at me I would’ve flung it 150 yards. That’s why I just watch you guys to it. Lol.
That grey rat looked like what people used to call Gulf hammock rat snakes lol or white oak phase lol
I always called the eastern mud snake the Halloween snake ever since I was a kid my fav snake though
This Queens NY native came across a big rattler in Florida yesterday . I came upon a pile of broken up cement slabs dumped in the woods , and thought , let me look close at the nooks Well 3 feet behind me , a timber? Rattler started buzzing I thought a cicada at first , then focused on the sound and realized what and where it was , grabbed a stick , cleared the brush and got a few pics He's fat as my arm and head as big as a handball Took an hour for my nerves to settle
That was a hybrid anole around the 10:30 mark. That's pretty cool.
A lot of species ive never heard of and some beauty’s as well
