Greensnake at 10:35 was a stunner!
Don’t know how he never misidentifies the cottonmouths and water snakes. I’ve been watching his videos for over a year and I still can’t reliably identify a water snake. 😂

The water snakes have a circle pupil, while the cotton mouths are vipers so it’s more of a cats eye.

@@bulldog7196 cotton mouths have a pretty iconic "eybrow ridge" that goes from above both eyes and meets on the nose, giving it a slightly "shovel nosed" appearance with a fairly flat top between the ridges. not quite hog nosed, but flat topped.
I saw the very first viper lying in the sun and warming itself today. In Norway we only have one poisonous snake and two non-poisonous snakes. we don't have rattlesnakes out in nature in Norway, but we do in the reptile park
I'm a big fan of five lined skinksand broad headed skinks and green snakes,so thanks for that! I'm wanting to see corn snakes sometime.
Hell yeah spring time posts from Noah Life is good

Dude Nathan I love your videos so much and I started my channel because of you. Thank you so much for informing people of your knowledge. 🐍🐍🐍
It seems that there is a setback compared to the previous months, when so many animals were basking. Nice ratsnakes, kingsnake and skinks.
I never noticed the round pupils on a rat snake. He looks chill af.
5:03 As someone who has dealt with many large five-lined skinks; that is TYPICAL behavior for them lol They like to bite and squeeze down hard, and are hesitant to let go sometimes

TWO WHOLE RINGNECKS!! I love how smoothy gray they look. That really was a nasty-looking kingsnake. Love the rough greens!! Also that was a really pretty post-credits catch!
Thanks again 👍almost missed the garder !
U should go to Australia for snakes❤
Great video and enjoy listening and watch your videos!! Have a good day and weekend.
Nice video! I’ve been finding many herps as well recently. The sound at 9:30 is a Pied-billed Grebe, a water bird.
3:31 You know you're a herper when an old dilapidated barn makes your day. Man, I never have luck under tires. Nice rat.
Awesome video and awesome finds I can't wait for the next video
i love the part where he said “Oooo a nerodia” haha make me smile :-)
I like the way the eyes can move beneath the corneal scale.
I've already came across cottonmouths out sunning on rock's and too say they were cranky is a huge understatement.! I'm waiting to see my first absolute favorite species , timbers!
I have young female five lined skinks laying eggs out of season because I brought 4 babies in here and put them in a terrarium back in November and they have since grown up to where they have started mating. Hopefully they are fertile and the babies survive. I'll do my best to care for them until they can go outside. Five lined skinks are adorable in my opinion. They are just as awesome as my leopard geckos.
The bird sound you heard after the Eastern Kingsnake is a Pied-billed Grebe, a water bird.
I love the rat snakes. Great video as usual.
Brian the Garter Guy appreciated the bonus snake at the end! Excited for all the spring herping action to come! Cheers!
Cool.
Noah. The snake messiah, Watch his videos cause he always brings the fire And don't forget the amphibians, He's got tons in the vernal pools close to the place that he be livin in. Richard from Arkansas
I only wish March was that nice around here...snakes are possible but only if we get some really nice days in between spring snowstorms. And I can't quite afford a trip to escape the cold just yet.
youre lucky down herein arizona we only have lizards out rn
You should come herping up in michigan or kentucky
I’m getting ready to put out some tin and boards for a summer camp I work for… any tips on the best locations to set them out?
websters were the only herp i found from december to february. they are ABUNDANT where i live i guess
👍
Wow, feel sorry for that eastern king...it needs some TLC from the Sun and several sheds..Don't think I've ever seen one in that bad condition..Every thing else looked real healthy..
How the heck can you decipher the Cottonmouths from the Nerodias? The one you picked up, I swear it's head looked to me to have the diamond shaped head and would have thought it to be a Cottonmouth.
Unfortunately here in Vermont reptiles are still couple months before they start coming out.
Hello
How come there's so much tin / wood / tyres? Is it deliberately left out for the reptiles?

Most of the time/Yes/ but the rest of the time its stuff that has been there for a very long time from old buildings, and stuff like that.
Hi
I'm waiting for you to herping in Indonesia. You can herp in Borneo Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, Papua.
I live in Ohio and our snakes aren't active until around May.
Why are watersnakes always so bitey? Lol.
The frog at 7:21 info! Typically green tree frogs are green when it is fairly brighter and warm outside.These tree frogs change colors dependent on season and time of day. Since in your video, all of the trees and other plants haven't sprouted yet and it is a lot darker outside that is probably why they are brown! :D
Where are some good GA locations to hunt for pygmy rattlesnakes? I want to see one but I dont want to trespass on anyones land.

Best way to find them is crossing roads at night during the summer and fall anyways. Eastern GA counties are the best, Lincoln, Elbert, Wilkes. Drive quiet roads from sunset until a few hours after dark and you’ll have a good chance to see one or a few.
Do you ever come across Alligator Lizards?

He has posted a few videos where he found alligator lizards. I know the videos in California have a couple. Maybe some of the other videos in western states.
All you guys worry about us killing venomous snakes but turn on the light and grab the harmless ones straight outta bed.

It’s almost as if we release them afterwards and they continue living as a functioning member of the ecosystem, rather than dying for no reason….
