WHAT A FLIP CLIP on that tub King!!!
Love it when you’re out with your dad. He must be so proud of how well you’ve done with what essentially started out as a hobby…now look how far you’ve come with it ❤
King and Hog, stars of the show!
I really liked the transition of green to yellow to ivory on the rough green...beautiful....
Dude, that king was a beast. Never seen one that girthy in all my time.

That king was an absolute MONSTER! I caught one like that in Tucson, AZ once. A gigantic female. She was crossing a road in the middle of summer.
Love the timber my favorite species
The hog was going at it LOLLL
What a cool hognose! It looks like a pregnant, big girl 🥰
Perfection herping man!
I found a beautifully patterned hognose snake a few years ago. I knew that they played dead but I didn't realize how convincing it could be. I thought the snake was really ill and I left it alone. Pretty good trick.
The Rough Green Snake looks like it's smiling.
The deadly hognose snake they remind so much of my mother-in-law
Hey Noah, love the vids. I’ve been watching for 5+ years, and it’s been a huge motivation for me on my path to becoming a Herpetologist. I think we’re all wondering though, when will we see you herp in Central/South America or some other known diverse herp spots around the globe?

Hopefully soon! But the priority for myself and the channel is fostering much needed appreciation for our American species here locally. I do have big travel plans going forwards though, don’t fret!

Thanks for taking us along!
Thank-you for sharing!
Great video!!!!
Sweet finds! 👍
Love your channel! I live in northern Alabama and my son and I have started herping. I can’t believe the beautiful snakes you find.
Memorial Day video- perfect
Love your dad’s accent - he needs to narrate more!!
Shout out to the King Snakes here from the Central Coast in California and I’ve seen two big king snakes here this year, a few rattlers and of course a pile of gopher snakes.
Unreal
When he had the king snake and said “what an animal” it sounded like he was about to say “what an idiot” 😂
i love how the green snake kept its tounge out for so long like it was taunting him lmfao
got the deep blues looked that good wow
I finally found my first eastern king! That thing was HUGE too. I've found more snakes this year than I have in a long time. I'm loving it.

Same here! This has been a great year so far in the southeast. In less than a mile the other night I cruised two rats, a plain belly, and (unfortunately DOR) a box turtle. My brakes got a good workout that night lol.
Yo that king made me drop my jaw😂 I’ve never seen a species of king so THICCC
Found my first ever milk snake at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas this past weekend. I've been hiking in that park since I was a kid and I've never found one until now. I was so excited!

Jealous; found a worm snake there a month ago but milks have eluded me everywhere but my home state basically.
Girthy king...huge hognose... shock and awe!
That was a big beautiful king snake!!
TUB KING!!
You should herp in cali, there are so many snakes if you look in the right places!
I love hognose snake's
Hey I’m a huge fan and you’ve even got me herping now! It’d be awesome if you could make a guide video of the snakes of Georgia as I’m in the southeast. It’s super swampy down here and we have a ton of cotton mouths and water snakes if you could help that’d be awesome
"...conflict with a sand person..." 😂 That barking tree frog was a dang nice-looking frog. Had a sandsnake do your scarlet playing dead trick the other night. The kings down there are so stinking nice.
Whatta king! I wouldn't know but from watching your channel I'd guess coral snakes are generally very rare within their range, other than a few strongholds?
one of the nicecest e.king size not a mark satin jewel
The white eggs at the end of the video looked like they may be mourning dove eggs.
He's cute
Wow that's snake's reaction is really scary
Q: What does that big Kingsnake eat? A: Whatever he wants
Think how many snakes that King snake has eaten over the years...❗️🤯
My hands got destroyed by a western rat snake today Worth it
When are you going to come to the Mojave Desert in Southern California and herp?
The narration is entirely too calm, therefore I will interject my own SCREAMS!!!
i noticed at least two of the snakes eyes looked almost milky.....does that mean they are about to shed??

What is the best method to find snakes during this heat in the south? Mississippi specifically. Would love to take my granddaughter out to see a few.

@@NKFherping Ok cool. Thanks man. I see so many bow hunting in October but by this time I hardly ever see them unless it's water snakes or cottonmouths when I'm fishing.
Nice large snakes but unfortunately they were all in shed. This kingsnake should have weighed more than 800 grams. Nice sound effects from the hognose and the rattlesnakes too. Scarlet kingsnakes seem to mimic coral snake defensive behavior. But how and why vultures nested so low?
You mentioned voucher photos?;can you explain what why, how vouchers ?

Why do some black racers have blue belly scales and some white? I am in northwest alabama and i have seen both here. Thank you for sharing your snake adventures.

Just variation! Typically, the southern subspecies will have darker bellies/chins and northerns will have a more white chin.

You mentioned short-tailed kingsnake as maybe being the smallest, and I found that they average at about the same size as scarlets. Though, supposedly the record scarlet is bigger than the record short-tailed. Also, have you found a short-tailed kingsnake before? I don't recall seeing one on your channel, but I hope to someday!
great vids
