The channel now fascinates the whole family. My 6 year old son always sits next to me and shouts "Daddy a copperhead or a rattlesnake" The trip to Japan was so nice Thank you very much.
I'm always impressed and glad that these rattlesnakes are still around and seemingly common, considering having the deck stacked against them for so long. Thanks for the tour!
His experience with the aggressiveness of that Timber is a good lesson for those not experienced in moving them - DON'T DO IT! Many have been bitten not realizing the incredible speed and effective distance of their strike range. Ain't worth it, friends!

Just kill it and fry it. Problem solved lol!
The Pygmy rattler had such a beautiful head! Knowing that you like them so much keeps me from yelling PYGMY RATTLESNAKE! THAT’S JUST NOT FAIR!!
You are so brave! After seeing my first copperhead years ago and recently a rattlesnake, I never step foot outside without my garden boots on!

I caught a 5 ft timber last year here in lindale Texas and I ain’t scared at all of snakes but that boy was intimidating
Some snakes can move on asphalt like they're moving through water, but others seem to have trouble with it.

I think it comes down to an issue of surface area. Thicker bodied snakes have a greater surface area, thus experience a greater degree of friction with the pavement. Smaller bodied snakes are more lightweight with less surface area, and tend to slip and slide with their movements.
i am impressed how you find all these wooded places, that look nice for camping, and they are not full of signs about not trespassing every snake area here is on private property
I wonder if that scarring on the timber was an old shotgun wound

I don’t know for sure either, but I did see some Kevlar boots and wonder if those would work on snakes, pretty sure they would, but not 100% sure at all.
Those woods look like Snake City!
I don’t like snakes so I can’t handle going through the whole thing. I’m glad you are conscientious about them not dying are not in my area I’m OK with that. But I’ve never seen a copperhead tell you showed it to me lots of rattlesnakes in my area but I just prefer her not even deal with a snake any snake so you have a blessed time playing Playing with the snakes
If you ever decide to visit Alabama again there is a place you should seriously see. Not only is it one of the best places to see a huge variety of snakes from harmless water snakes to huge timber rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, copperheads and plenty of other non venomous snakes, but the breathtaking scenery and waterfall is beyond description. Woods completely surround the creeks, boulders , and waterfall. Located in a area known as Welti in Cullman, Alabama.
I love copperheads, I wish I can own one
Bet you have a rattlesnake ringtone✌️
I love this…exciting to watch
You save so many snakes from getting run over. Keep it up homie
Tuning in from California. Thanks for taking us along on your herp walks! Very fun & relaxing
I had a red racer that was at least 7-8 feet long, it was old where red was pink, about as big around as a softball...fast!!!
Man I gotta let you know I appreciate your videos so much. I am from Dillard, GA, but moved to Washington state in 2013. There aren't hardly any reptiles here at all, and I miss the abundance of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates back home. I keep a lot of different animals, and have a little New Caledonian collection going on currently. Hit me up if you ever want to play some video games. I've recently been playing a lot of Hunt Showdown.

There are Northern Pacific rattlers in central and eastern Washington. Eastern foothills of the Cascades and beyond. They don’t have much charisma but their venom is no joke. I use to live there and now in central Arkansas. Wash. State has turned bonkers the last 20-25 years. Good luck.
Sweet cruising! 👍
That timber is the definition of the Christopher Gadsen flag, Don't Tread On Me flag!
I keep finding giant Timbers here in Iowa in my back yard. Bigger than what you are seeing. I can send you pictures if you like and if you ever want to go herping around here, you have a place to stay. Bonus, my brother in law runs Iowa's snakes alive. Lot's of cool stuff up here.
Iv went from hating snakes to telling myself I'ma grab the next non venomous snake I see lol. Thanks buddy
man i love ratal snaks
Traumatized Timber Rattler. I can relate.
I grew up in NW Alabama and I agree with you that kudzu totally sucks!
Another great vid! Thanks
Sounds like Steve Irwin, ( oh she’s a little grumpy) lol fantastic 😂
You are so funny! Love “Good quality snakes!”. Too many bloody Copperheads for my liking!
I don’t even know if you will see this, and I feel terrible that I am just getting to this video.......things have been a little crazy for me recently and I am behind on a few videos. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and that timber was beautiful!!! I also really loved the black racer! I loved the little path you were on and it will be nice if someone keeps it mowed. I would love to see what kind of frog eggs those are if you end up going back and they have hatched. Thanks for the work that you do and I look forward to whatever is next! Have a great day!!! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍

What are some good counties in Georgia to look for copperheads in? It is my dream snake to see and have never seen one in person and I have fallen in love with them. I am from south ga so I just don’t know much about them since they aren’t native on my home turf
That Timber,, may have had Scale Rott
Ye haha sweet home alabama
Hey noah do you ever find Big Banana spiders in webs?
Timbers are state tracked in Mississippi. Do you report any of your finds to the state you are in?
Noah what county was the kudzu clip in? Just curious for the frog eggs cause I have them in my pond and I’m dawsonville
I'm in Kentucky and kudzu sucks it's like a green blob that slowly eats everything
Noti gang🔥
Hi Noah
In addition to the time stamps, can you be a bit more specific with your location? I'm from the area and love to know which mountain or creek you're on.
Sandals? You do this wearing sandals??? Oye!!!
danger noodles
Also, where there is one, is there generally two, do you know?
How nasty is the venom from copperheads and Pygmy rattlers??
Is that Bankhead forest?
U should feed the snakes if they skinny
Are you on public or private land?
Where in Alabama are you? That timber rattlesnake is ticked off. It's coiled, which means it's seriously considering striking, and will if you don't get away from it.
9:16 When the ADHD kicks in.
Iam scared to death of snakes, I guess mostly the ones that surprise you. I never mess with them.. How do you recommend traveling through the woods down south, on foot, hunting or going fishing? Are snake gaitors worth the investment?

You can wear tall boots in snake country, just in case you accidentally step on one. But normally, you would walk right past one and never even know it.
