    You seriouslyshould write a field herping guide. Your skill is unmatched. You're killing it this year. Congrats on the 2 new kings in the yard. I'm always amazed by how much find but I know it's from so much hard work, dedication, and time put in. Catch you on the flip-side. Richard from Arkansas

    Being from Southern CA, every time I hear "a Ruber" it makes me think rattlesnake (and my favorite Crotalus at that!)! You guys are teasing me. 🤣

    What a great video! Seeing you all out in spring nature, so delighted with each new discovery and sharing it all - great to watch. I hope your videos pull more people into this hobby and that they pay attention to your care of the animals and their habitat. I was glad you didn’t find any animals that had been injured by earlier, careless herpers. I remember one of your videos where you found multiple snakes dead or maimed by people thoughtlessly dropping their rocks back on them without making sure the snakes wouldn’t be crushed.

    Love your content and you inspire me to get out and try and find some of the local species in NW Ohio. I used to catch Garter's non stop back when I was a kid at our cottage in SE Michigan...some of the best memories.

    Yeah they can be really common in some places. But those places don’t exist in North Georgia, and they’re usually the most common species being the Eastern Glass Lizard (which is actually even rarer in North Georgia than the species in this video).

    Those leg less lizards/ glass snakes we call em are everywhere in Florida 😂 I picked up a scarlet in my driveway a week ago under my wife’s truck. We got em all guys. Plenty of none native exotics also. A couple friends of mine were participating in the python removal last summer and found a shed from a roughly 9’ king cobra 🐍 when your in the Florida woods you never ever know what you may find. Beware of the Skunk ape and the Florida man also! Lmfaoo

    Fun fact I had a whole comment typed out about how I couldnt believe you just shoved 30 tantila at me and barely a ringneck and how mean it was but then you blessed me with a triple flip at the end so thank u 😂 That said, I definitely see what you mean now with the scarlet kingsnake vs milksnake sizes!! SO very cool. And the glass lizard under a rock!! I didnt even know what I was looking at at first. They're such gorgeous animals. Still so weird to see a snakelike lil guy that blinks at you and has a funny mouth and flops weirdly in the grass lol. It feels so off but in the best way. I hope you dont mind my occasional hype over ringnecks. I think bc they ARE common, and reactions to them are naturally pretty muted, my brain latched on to them, starting with ringnecks but now tantila, red bellies, and even some of the worm and earth snakes make me smile. I know they're great for a bit of filler inbetween the big catches and I love the big colorful ones too (I think my favorite overall snake species that you catch with some regularity are scarlet kings, coachwhips, rough greens and non-muddy cottonmouths, also big black racers go brrrrrr), but idk, something about the everpresent little fossorials just give me a lot of comfort. I just wanted you to know that for all my messing around I genuinely appreciate that you still show them often!! They are Little Dudes and I love them. Once I get my patreon account running I WILL join the discord for the occasional ringneck picture lmao

    Nice scarlet kings and regular kings. Also nice legless lizard and first box turtle. I wonder what the first kingsnake had. I also wonder how sure you can be about their genetic relationships. Some people struggle with this for humans!

    Good video, Noah. Just sad you didn’t see an Indigo, though I’m not sure how common they are in those parts or for this time of the year.

    Sweet, cooperative glass lizard! I know spring is young, but it seems box turtle numbers are down compared to this time last yr. Do you recall box turtle numbers last yr?
