Not as dangerous as it looked, I think. The way it was handled, the coral was unlikely to envenomate him. Still, it _could_ have. It was a pointlessly risky thing for him to do.

Hey thanks for the Wild Houston shoutout! John is a legend. Glad you got your buttermilk.

What a great last day of trip!!! Cheers!

The fight is real here in Houston. We have a lot of transplants that don't respect our native floors and fauna. A few of us near lake Houston have to constantly educate people on why you shouldn't kill them.

Another great herping video. So sad how much trash humans leave behind. Great to see comparison between the coral snake and Louisiana milksnake.

Shared the video on a nextdoor post of a lady terrified of snakes. Hopefully, she can find some enlightenment in it.

Nice coral, milksnake and buttermilk racer. The talk about the musk in the airport was so funny.

Great series! I really enjoyed seeing the Houston area since I live here!

Everything's big in Texas. Gesundheit!

That buttermilk racer was GORGEOUS! I've never heard of that species (except in last week's episode) before, and they range nearly into my area, even!

07:35 that huge sign screamed Copperhead for me, called it lol

Great trip Noah! That buttermilk racer was beautiful 🤩! I am thrilled that it went so well for you. Take care. 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼

I love how you said “im not going to touch many snakes, I got a flight” proceeds to get handed every nerodia known to man😂😂😂

Great finds, Noah! Wonderful trip!

Thank You for coming to H-Town, Fun seeing the snakes again I saw as a child.

Thanks always

I hope you're making another trip out to west Texas this year. Those are some of my favorite herping videos.

Love your channel man! Im looking for hognose snakes in southeast michigan rn! Keep making awesome videos!

I have lived in North and NW Houston. Never saw a coral snake, but ran into aggressive copperheads, and chill cottonmouths.

Awesome work

I've never heard of a buttermilk racer. That thing was stunning!!! In all my years living in south central Mississippi and now in northern middle Tennessee, I've never once seen a coral snake or a scarlet king. Both are my lifers.

I've come across one coral here in Texas, down in Pipe Creek, TX. It was awesome, I followed the little guy until he finally disappeared, getting as close as I could to see him and take pics. Never seen a buttermilk racer, but now I want to, beautiful species.

Glad you got to herp my city, and saw some fantastic animals.

My guy just saw and coral and without hesitation went to pick it up

that luna moth was pretty!

another awesome vid! thanks again, Noah!!

Looks like a great place to go camping 😂

Bless you! 😆

Great as always Richard from Arkansas

Love the vids bro awesome job

That coral snake was crazy pretty. Hope to see more content soon! Also, hero in Utah!

Wow, I never knew coral snakes curl up the tip of their tail to make it look more like the head and distract from the actual head. Cool to see!

You can use some type of lights and find copperheads at night. My buddies 4 wheeler with light on can spot them 50 feet away.

Beautiful Coralsnake. I found an Eastern Coralsnake last week that had so much black speckling on its red. But it's in Florida. Didn't know about the differences between Texas and Easterns, but it didn't seem to apply to this one.

Grew up in Houston arena. Never saw a LA milk snake there before. That’s a rare find

Wow great finds! I just found my first wild snake it was a black racer and huge!

Yall have some balls, I live in Texas not far from there, copperheads are horrible around here plus a lot of corral last few years

Nice

Houston is synonymous with snakes as a kid I’d see everything there copperheads, Mokassins, tons of water snakes, grass snakes, now i live in Florida for 20 years and have seen 1 tiny grass snake lol

I live in Kemah, Tx about 30 minutes from Houston. We are covered up with Tx Crawfish snakes

I think Haldea striatula has been changed to Virginia striatula....

Was there not long ago!

Yeah, I don't know if "experienced Coral Snake wrangler" warrants that kind of audacity

As a Texan, where was the dystopian location you searched in? A clear sign entropy is a thing. And did you notice how thick the woods were? There is not a more thickly brushed and overgrown patch of forest than what is found in East Texas.

Never been to Houston but I hear they get flash floods, last year a lake to the north got 23 inches in 2 days

Question… I’ve gotten decent at distinguishing different species. I live in Northern Alabama so I see lots of the eastern king snakes. Though I know they aren’t poisonous I am still hesitant to pick them up because I’m afraid I’ll get bit. Is there a certain technique to picking them up and if you get bit what should you do?

Ive never seen someone actually pick up a coral snake

@The_Crucible714

2 ай бұрын

I have, on this channel in fact. They are a fossorial species with small mouths that rarely bite. However if you do get envenomated good luck.

I love watching your videos, I alway wonder how the heck don't you get poison Ivy?

I know it’s not a herp but those Luna Moths are notoriously poor fliers, once up in the air they mostly glide. The females have larger bodies and rarely fly at all, just perch somewhere exuding pheromones that the males detect from long distances. They have no working mouthparts (so don’t feed) only live a max of 6-8 weeks as moths for the sole purpose of breeding. That looked like a newly metamorphosed male, toward the end they can look pretty beat-up & tattered.

Hey Nkfherping, will u at some point do another Alterna hunting trip? Obviously not killing but trying to find and capture a gray banded king. Been subscribed since i think 2020 or 2021

Htx 🤘🏾

What location in Houston did y’all go to for this forest?

I have caught a huge earthsnake before

Will we ever see you in Washington state?

So, is it true that coral snake antivenom is hard to come by?

Came here to ID the snake I just found…first one in years. Now wondering why I don’t see snakes every few minutes.

What do you do about tick prevention?

@NKFherping

2 ай бұрын

Nothing. There isn’t any real way to prevent tick encounters other than staying inside. I like to wear shorts and sandals so that I can feel them crawling through my leg hair before they get a chance to bite. Otherwise they could hide on your clothes undetected for hours and end up in the house/car.

In Houston, I’d be worried about flipping a body under all that trash.

I did a lot of herping as a kid in Houston, and I must have come across dozens of rat snakes. I never saw one as spectacular as that buttermilk you caught. Is that variant common?
