    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!

    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.

    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.

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.

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!!! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍
