Last fire ant sting I had left a mark for 4 months before my body cleared the damage to my ankle skin. Pesky little buggers!
love the scarlets
In my years of working with herps in South Florida, on occasion I have found snakes in ant beds just as the Milk Snake you found was.After doing some research on it, I learned that Formic Acid is a by product of ant waste, and because it Contains elements that make it a type of insecticide, it’s a good way for snakes to rid themselves of mites and ticks. That might be why it was there. Just a thought. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.😎👍👍👍
Been following your channel for years now! Always a pleasure seeing an upload😁

So many beautiful snakes in this episode!
Such pretty milks.
Always a good morning when you upload a new video Noah. Freakin dig yer channel bro Your enthusiasm and knowledge is exceptional
Yet ANOTHER amazing video! Thanks so much Noah!
Gorgeous dark red milk
I'm really glad you rescued that snake from those fire ants.
That milk snake was stunning!
What on Earth! Thanks for all the Milks !!!! :-)
I did not know King Snakes were constrictors ! So interesting!
Pure enjoyment, thanks for videos
Holy hell! Nice snakey day! The 1st milk looked dark red with silver bands. Striking little beast! 👍
milk #2 has full blown eye brows lol....expressive king
I don’t mean to sound redundant, but another AWESOME video! Those milk snakes were cool, except for the ants 🐜. You two saw quite a few snakes and it makes for a great video! I even loved 🥰 the tadpoles at the end……I just love that kind of stuff. I just hope they grow up before the puddle dries up. Thanks Noah! Have a great day! 😄💙🐬🐍🐊🙏🏼
I hope you don't mind Noah I answered some ID questions between scarlet snakes and scarlet kings viewers had. Keep on herpin! I've been at it since I was 4 years old catching baby garters in Iowa. Thank God for concrete rubble retaing walls lol
Keep up the awesome work 🐍
Love the black on those milks!
Nice finds! wild about that milk/ants, etc.. Still nothing here in Arizona. Think it's going to be a very bad year for anyone thinking of visiting AZ.
Great corn…that morphed into a milk 😂😂
Nice work 😊😊😊
Well, the weather here in Michigan got really nice and warm, I've been waiting all winter for spring, and then I went and got a lung infection from raking some moldy leaves, and now I'm stuck at home sick. Anyway, love your videos, and being able to see species I don't always see unless I go down south, and I always learn something from each of your videos! Thanks so much, keep up the great work, man!
He saved that milk snake 🐍 🥛🥺
No one's gonna even mention the smiling skull pattern on the Corn's head? It really jumped out at me at 6:33
Trilium is also an amazing brewery in Boston near Fenway Park :)
Ok Noah, what is the difference between a Scarlet Snake, a Scarlet King Snake, and a Milk Snake? Because they all look relatively the same to me and I have no clue how you identify them so quickly. Love your channel! Keep doing what you’re doing!

Scarlets have a red nose with a slight shovel tip scarlet kings are usually dark nosed with a more rounded nose. When you see the head it's quick and easy.

A scarlet king snakes banding continues around its belly. A scarlet snaked has virtually no banding around its belly.

good question
I caught three beautiful Eastern Garter Snakes two days ago, the only three snakes i have ever caught in my backyard was Eastern Garter Snake, Ribbon Snake, and a Eastern Milksnake
Hey you should look for a weller's salamander
Fortunately the people who brought corn snakes into captivity chose the brightest ones, otherwise we would have ended up with brownish snakes today. Nice milks. The first one could be sick or disoriented.
I found a black salamander
Have you ever caught/filmed Charina?
Wonder if there's been any studies on possible symbiotic relationship with ants, possibly some parasite removal going on there!!

@@dshobe720 Why didn't I think of the snake being there first? Duh. Now I wonder why it didn't try to get away...sick? Too cold? Who knows? Nature is brutal, that's all I know.
I’d love the opportunity to do this with you. I live in the Ocala National Forest. I’m just not educated enough where to look.

Look at where he is observe the biome. Find areas with cover that snakes can use like logs rocks or trash. Look for food sources of your target species lizards or worms or smaller snakes. Pick your days don't go out if it's raining and cool choose a day that will keep your target species near the surface ready to hunt not hiding from the cold and wet deeper in a root hole of a toppled tree. Hope this helped

Nice variety of snakes. And the MMA fighter salamander was cool, too. Why would a snake put itself in a fire ant hill?

At the risk of exposing my ignorance, what's the difference between a scarlet king and a scarlet snake?

Scarlet snakes are fossorial and small with a shovel rosteral scale (nose)eating reptile eggs primarily. Scarlet kings are tri colored like the Scarlet snake but are snake eaters usually with a dark nose more round than shovel shaped nose that is usually red. Hope this helped

Lol, bro you are dedicated to reach your hand into fireants for a snake. Fire ants bites suck.
Probably saved that milk from those ants. Dont say "what even" anymore for the rest of the year. Ty
Do they bite??? Pls rely anyone

They can bite but rarely do nonvenomous snakes just like all species of snakes have that capability depending on the way you handle them. 😉
Thicc with 2 c’s 😂😂
THAT's why they're called corn snakes? I always assumed it was from their yellow-orange coloration. ...ya learn something new...
Fire ant bites suck

I would like to find a young black ratsnake to raise for a pet but I keep seeing huge individuals that could already be getting old. I previously had a large female for 28 years who was given to me as a baby. I know that they are captive bred too but not many near where I live. I'd like to find a young one about 2 or 3 feet long but like I said I mostly see large individuals. In the rare case that I keep native snakes I won't collect adults unless they are disabled in some way. I once had a completely blind garter snake that I found emaciated. It was young but some predator pretty much destroyed his eyes. I do take excellent care of my pets. Even a pet snake deserves excellent care and a great life. I had the blind garter for almost 13 years. Some wild snakes are legal to keep for pets where I live but if they don't eat within 10 days in my care I take them back where I got them. I'm not willing to risk them dying if they don't start eating.
I know it’s Spring, but Lord! It’s ALL juveniles……sigh!
