MORE Insane Louisiana Snake Hunting! Finding Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Milksnakes Under Tin!
Ойын-сауық
Louisiana impresses once again, with some incredible numbers and quality snakes found with @PopMilk and Armin! We saw over 40 snakes, almost all of which are featured at least briefly in this episode. Make sure to subscribe to see the rest of the trip in Louisiana and Texas, and check out Kyle's channel for when his perspective comes out!
Another note, I did include both Red and Louisiana Milksnakes as additions to the species list from this episode. The last snake was found further into amaura range and I consider it to be fairly distinct compared to the more syspila-heavy milks seen earlier in the day.

Hooking venomous snakes during the video with no concern. Sees like 6 mice “AGHH” “AHH” from all of them 😂
I like the way your custom hook "takes a first peek" over the edge of each piece of tin. 😂
That enchanted hook NEEDS to become a regular on the channel 😆
wow thats alot of venom in them woods😂😂nice finds beautiful milks

Hey NKFherping, been a subscriber for years and i love watching your videos when i need to unwind after a long day. i happen to live in the middle of the Arizona Sonoran desert just North of Tucson and occasionally do a little herping myself, but since ive been herping this desert all of my life, i have become a little burnt out on my local herps so these days since i cant go anywhere else i find myself preferring more and more to just sit back and watch one of your videos instead because i get to see and enjoy Herps that i don't have the privilege of experiencing myself. for some reason, my all time favorite Sonoran Desert Herp has to be Urosaurus, especially males in breeding colors. I know you might think that Urosaurus are just "fence lizards" but to me their genus makes them even more like little badass dinosaurs than any other lizard.
the Milikys are pretty, but the copperheads are the most exotically stunning color-wise. Just incredible!
Holy crap, y'all killin it. That fckn walking stick has the juju.
"Flippin aint easy" with the pimp cain 😆 i love it

I love how excited you guys get. It's awesome :) I've learned more about snakes from your channel. Thanks for the education!! 🙂🐍
Wow that first copperhead really blended in with the leaf litter !
Great description of the milks.
The Pop Milk colabs have been fantastic!! This may have been the best Lamp episode ever!! Some really incredible finds in this one!!! And the pimp cane might have to be your new "magic snake stick"!!!
It was like a prettiest snake contest today! Coppers, milks, canebreaks, ribbons and racers all entered a contestant in today's show! I can't decide... the high orange/red milks or the light grey with dark chevrons and gold stripe canebreakes... and that high blue ribbon was so cool.. I love their goofy faces. I was all starry eyed this episode.

Nice man. Just got back from herping snake road , MO glades, and Arkansas for 2 weeks. Gotta love this time of the year
I saw his shirt said pimpin ain't easy and I thought it should say flipping ain't easy and have a dude flipping a piece of tin with a snake under it. I just thought it might be a good idea for some merch.
I Always loved The Milksnake Species they are my all time favorite Snake Species

I watched one episode of Billy the exterminator and I get recommended this? Much appreciated 👊🏻 YT
What a beautiful snake.
I haven't been watching your channel very long. I was wondering whether you leave sheets of metal, wood, or whatever hanging around in the wilderness to attract snakes, or is it just in the environment already? I'm from the UK, and I really don't see sheets of metal in the countryside left out like that. I think if I put some out I a specific location, some idiot would destroy it before I got back. We don't have too many snakes over here, but I do go out looking as often as I can. I find slow worms quite often, which, despite the name, aren't worms or slow. They're legless lizards and beautiful. Your snakes over there are so amazing. I'm very jealous.

Some of the sites we visit are setup specifically for snakes, and others are just abandoned structures and dump sites. Theres plenty of tin out there randomly too, but some areas are kept cleaner than others and some have been scrapped clean over time.
So glad that ur able to do in Louisiana! I live in Louisiana!
Yes it is
Beautiful canebrakes
that improvised snake hook is really cool honestly, i wanna find something like it now
Man you guys rock Just casually poking around with all those copperheads and canebrakes and they are just lying around and not getting nasty But those guys pulling tin without gloves in snake country scare me
Nicest milk for sure the eastern milks from NC that are really red are nice too
Very beautiful rattlesnakes, milksnakes, large copperheads and ribbon snakes. Louisiana never disappoints either in numbers or diversity of snakes. In this instance, I am pretty sure that yu knew the place well beforehand. I am intrigued by the absence of truth kingsnakes though. Also I believe that predators and prey are so close to each other because of breeding season, when there food intake tends to be lower.
You need to bring that magic hook along every time! 🤣
Beautiful orange milksnake! Just beautiful!
Those canebrakes were beautiful! I use to live in Vermont where there is a very small protected population and searched for a “timber” rattlesnake as we called them many times. Closest I came was a shed skin that was nearly intact head to tail. If I ever found one it would not look anything like those though, in Vermont they are typically very dark, sometimes the chevrons are barely visible. Was a great video, thanks!
Beats days where you’re having to grind it out to find one snake. The cane obviously needs to go with you everywhere. It’s good luck ❤
My milksnake would never let a lizard run over it. :-)
Great show with some nice looking snakes. “Aw it’s big and gorgeous.” That’s what she said. 🐍 🦎
It was a copperhead video that brought me to you. I like what you do. I grew up in north Alabama. We have so many different types of terrain here we are able to see/find many different vipers here. In fact, in my early teens, back in the 70’s, they made my friends and I quite a bit of spending money. (Our parents would have killed us and the vet if they knew). A local vet would pay us cash money for undamaged poisonous snakes. Copperheads paid the least, diamondbacks next, then cottonmouths, with Pygmy rattlers at the top of the pay scale. I’ve also heard them called rock rattlers and velvet tails. They were short, fat, and very, very irritable. They did not like being disturbed, but, they were the easiest to catch. Cottonmouths were the hardest, but, that was due to the water. He had a milking set up where he harvested the venom and sold it. I’m sure he made a lot more money than he paid us, but, we didn’t have to handle them.
A lot of snakes .. everywhere
Those Canebrake rattlesnakes and copperheads are beautiful!!
I literally can’t. I was looking for snakes yesterday and I didn’t look up anything about snakes and here you are popping up on my page. That’s how ya know you’re being watched
My 4 year old daughter said the milk snake looks like a clown fish. She's obviously seen finding Nemo! Love the channel!

The tin mountains are insane in these locs!
Now that's what real herping is all about - flipping tons of good cover with nothing under it.
I love snakes and milk snacks carper and other
You guys should market some copperhead camo man do they blend in but I guess lying on the ground in your area is probably not a good idea!
Out here in central Colorado the pack rats have developed a particular defences strategy they build thier nests out of a particular cactus a tall standing one we call the traveling cactus due to the fact they shed parts of themselves that you invariably pick up on one toe and stick it in the calf of your opposite leg these nests are the most pokey impenetrable fortresses somehow managing to never get stuck on the inch and a half long spines rats and cactus the stuff dreams are made of.
I love his pimpin ain't easy shirt in the scene after you bought a pimp cane. Lmao 😂
These snakes are insane
Flip in style 😂😂😂 hope the Cane brought you luck and produced a couple of gorgeous Timber Rattlesnakes 😂😂😂
Scurry on, Garth.
Hey Noah, do you think you’ll ever go herp out west near the Great Basin/mojave desert region? Like Nevada or Utah?
i bet those guys guard their flip spots with their lives 😭
Your brave picking up those broadheads lol
Mega day, you even have Canebrake beer, I was clearly born in the wrong part of the world!
very interestinggg...
I had a panic attack when I saw a diamond head water snake
That other guy almost grabbed a copper head, lol. That could have ended badly.
I'm a Colorado person and although I like most non venomous snakes I pride myself on non snake days .yet on one particular day I sighted a snake I'd never seen in my 62 year old life a snake not often seen in the mountainous part of Colorado a green snake it's called and this one was stretched out on a deposit of red sandstone and was not hard to spot it was very beautiful. I dont kill venomous snakes the prairie rattler the only one here but I have mastered the technique of picking the right time and the right place so as not to encounter these reptiles while rock hunting but I do respect and admit to the need for people fond of these reptiles so good luck you guys !
I found a California Mountain King in my front yard and had the same reaction. Shaking because I probably won’t find another one in my life🤘wish I could share a pic.
I was curious on your cameras you use ? Like your videos are so clean and amazing. And your photos of snakes are 👌
Nice
R.I.P all of you, gon turn into zombie mouses 😂😂
nice milk snake
I LOVE the new "bird" cane! Please, where did you get it?
Is that a sword cane? LOL, but it works good for flipping tin. Take care and keep up the good work.
Still waiting for the day I get snake numbers overall like that...but happy that last year gave me a 6 milk day too. Only a couple comparable in color to some of those things though. Curious since it was mentioned near the start: do you often have, or hear people having, problems with traveling on airplanes with snake hooks in the luggage? I'd think if it was in a checked bag going in the hold it would be fine (in carry-on obviously not), but I have heard a couple stories...
Dude I wish I would’ve known where you was at in Louisiana I would’ve loved to come herpping with you. I live in Louisiana
Where do you find places with all this tin laying around?
Cans you give me any advice on where I could even find a spot with things to actually flip in or near lafayette? I can’t find any good spots with things to lift for the life of me,
Are the milk snakes full grown
I've always wanted to catch a milk but I never got to where can I find one ?
yeah, they do get thick around here
In colo we have no shortage of racers most red and them and the bull snakes reaching a quite astounding size sometimes the biggest racer I've seen was over six feet and not having your exsperience I got bit trying to handle it not exceedingly painful but a sobering reminder anyway!
That cane looks like it could be a sword to
(8:53) That was probably the racer that laid those racer eggs.
Was this Northern or central Louisiana. Asking because you seem to think the milks are a type of intergrade. The best milk day I ever had was 27 in one day. That is were we have put out about a tractor trailer load of tin lol.
My friend used to own a southern mask racer
You must come to SouthEast Ohio!
Do you know what type of snake has a colerashoin of black and yelow?
Been in Louisiana my whole life and never saw a milk. I am in range but just havent saw one. Always find canes in my flipping spots but never a milk

I sure would like to see a milk snake 🐍 in Louis.
I like snakes
How come the cane brakes arent' rattling when you lift the tin? Do they not feel threatened or are they thinking you can't see them? Just curious because I thought they rattled as soon as they spot you.

They were from last year, already hatched. Snakes in the US that lay eggs almost exclusively lay them during the summer and they’ll hatch in the fall.
