Springtime Rattlesnakes in Georgia! Diamondback, Timber, and Corn Snake Eating a Rat!

Ойын-сауық

A great couple of outings highlighted by a rare feeding observation (that I nearly botched getting too close), some rattlesnakes, and common species appearing for the first time in 2024!
North Georgia is finally awake! Our first local snakes of the year, and a great day further south!

    That's really cool that you've seen feeding twice on this channel. I saw a big timber kill and eat a cottontail once when I was kid on Ft. Banning, but that's the only time I've ever seen a predation event in the wild.

    As someone who always reads the taxonomic name, I appreciate the new font. It wasn't bad before but this is easier to read. The personal satisfaction you got from going back and finding that EDB was evident.

    I've actually had to do the same thing once when I made a snake drop a prey item. It was a black ratsnake eating a baby bird that fell out of a nest. That was a really great video. Keep doing it big Noah. Catch you on the flip-side. Richard from Arkansas

    Nice timber and first racer. I believe that the corn snake would return to eat sooner or later, but you helped it and it ate immediately. I didn’t expect that it would catch it again.

    Imagine sitting down to a nice meal when a giant rips the roof off the restaurant. Embarrassed, the giant tries to gently prod your plate of food in front of you to encourage eating...

    I love your videos so much, and I've learned so much about the species I'd see in the regions I've lived for most of my life (Florida and Texas and everywhere in between and nearby) since discovering your channel. Recently my partner and I moved to Colorado, and it's a totally different world over here. Are there any herping channels you recommend in the Colorado region? We're looking forward to it warming up so we can see some garters on our neighborhood walks. I have a pet western hoggie, she's about 2 and a half years old, and it's going to be so weird to see little replicas of her out in the wild eventually.

    Amazing capture on that corn snake! I know the venomous species around me (east metro atl out by Ft. Yargo SP) but I'm really enjoying the repetition of seeing the non-venomous so I can make sure I learn them too. How do you find the recent-burn areas to visit?

    I would love to go on an exploration with you guys. I live in Atlanta, and I went on a nice forest hike in Tifton, GA last spring in search of snakes. I didn't really see much at all as far as herpetology goes... I have had some luck over at Chattahochie Hills/Cochran Mill in the past.

    My wild caught Eastern milksnakes don't care if I move them while they are constricting prey. Now when I first got them they were freaked out by me doing that but since they have gotten used to me it doesn't bother them anymore. Sometimes they will constrict a mouse in their water bowl and I move them out of the water because sometimes after killing the mouse they wouldn't eat it in the water and they would leave it there. Now if I just gently move them they aren't bothered at all and just carry on with what they are doing. I wanted a male and female to breed in captivity because Eastern milksnakes are bred in captivity now with some regularity but I ended up with 2 females. I don't care about that though. I love them both. I call them Thelma and Louise. 😊 I won't get anymore Eastern milksnakes until those girls get old and pass away. I had a previous female as a pet for 20 years. I'm hoping that these girls live at least that long for me. I don't know their true age because they aren't hatchlings but they aren't fully grown adults either. They are large enough to where they are taking small adult mice on a regular basis though.
