I have always been terrified of snakes. Your videos are fascinating! I learn so much from you. Now, when I see the prairie rattlers common in my area, I won't panic (as much). Thanks.

Great episode! I was worried that I would have RSS withdrawals, since Bryan is going king cobra hunting in India!! Marissa clearly order all extra spicy sneks! And all the multiple snake encounters were SO cool. Love you guys, blessings from an old lady in Southern California. (I have cautioned my husband to look before he puts his hands or feet anywhere, when working in our small, xeriscaped yard!! We definitely have created prime habitat! Don't use any chemicals because I love all our critters. Tons of alligator lizards, probably some blue bellies. No insect problem because enough hungry lizards. Keep safe. Y'all do such important work.

I think the videos (not shorts) are about a month behind real time. At least i remember a few times where they said the month they were in, but it was released the following month.

I want to say thank you for such an informative site you have. We moved to Gold Canyon from Wisconsin 2 years a go. We came home from Dinner on Monday night and i spotted a big snake on my back porch. I instantly recognized that it wasn't a rattle snake, thx to your channel. It was a gopher snake. 2 years a go i would have killed it. Thanks to you and your team, i picked it up with my pinchers, similar to yours and safely released it back to the desert behind our house. Keep up the great work and thank you for educating me on snakes

Love the gopher, Bull, Pine Snakes.. I have caught many over the years, and they are always so sweet! Just majestic.

I really like that first woman's front door. That's a big door. I have relatives in Scottsdale and part of the fun of going there is checking out the wildlife in that area. Right around their house there's javelina's, bobcats, gila monsters and other lizards, snakes, etc. I could do without some of the spiders and scorpions though. It's fun to see a tarantula or scorpion out in the desert, but not fun to see them on your pillow. I found what I think was a brown recluse on my bed once. Now I double check the pillows and under the sheets when I'm there.

So glad to see we have two Googley eyes again 😁

I Admire and Respect of what each of you do-especially that you "save" them because they are needed. I love Arizona but not wild about snakes....

Pretty cool that Bryan, Marissa and Jeff all released multiple snakes at a time in this video

Here in Colorado we kinda live with nature. You have a snake and you are kinda on your own, Every video I watch I think I need to get a snake tongs. Luckily for me the only snakes I have had to deal with so far are gopher snakes (we call them bull snakes up here). My son lives close to an open space and has had to erect snake fence in his backyard. We tend to plant marigolds and other plants around our homes as snake repellents. You guys are amazing. Glad you are out there.

Have people tried building "snake shelters," similar to packrat nests, to emplace in the Arizona desert? Perhaps that can help mitigate habitat loss from housing development.

Thanks Nick for taking those 2 off the road! No road kill there tonight !

I just love you Jeff 😊❤

Fountain Hills/Rio Verde area crazy with diamonbacks...nice vid! ☺

Thanks for another awesome video!!

I work at an airport in the PNW. An employee found a Pacific Gopher Snake in an indoor equipment storage area recently. He killed it because "it got defensive". Then, he showed the pictures of this to anyone who would look, laughing and joking. That really bothered me. Even if I didn't watch this channel, it would still have bothered me. A couple of years ago, one of my employees came into our offices stating there was a "big" snake on the ramp. It was a Gopher Snake. It was on the road, and I wondered how it hadn't been run over, with all the fuel trucks and ramp equipment using it. I went into the nearby brush, got a branch, got the snake to climb onto it and, while holding its tail, carried it back into the woods. No drama. The reactions were: "Why didn't you just kill it?" A lack of education about wildlife makes people VERY narrowminded.

You took one step toward snake handling. Good job. Gopher snakes, especially these here in the Scottsdale area, are very mellow and rarely take any offense at being gently carried in hand. Basically you have nothing to fear from the gopher snakes and if you do have the fear and want to rid yourself of it, just take the opportunity of finding some out there and picking them up near the center of the body and not squeezing them. As you do it, you'll learn how they move and what you need to do to keep them comfortable and not falling. Let them try your hands near their mouths as they use their tongues to sample your odor. If you have water in a small container such as a bottle cap, offer a drink. They rarely have enough water and they fill up if they have the opportunity. If I had the opportunity, I'd welcome gopher snakes to my house and get some mice for them.

@@JW...-oj5iw Thank you for the kind words. The areas which I hike in are pine forests at higher elevations. I will see the occasional Garter snake, but I've never seen a Gopher snake out there. By the abundance of chipmunks I see, I would expect large(ish), non-venomous snakes hunting them. There are Pacific Rattlesnakes at the lower, drier regions such as Redmond, OR. They're rumoured to be on the outskirts of the town of Sisters, as well. I hike out there as well, but I've read these snakes are incredibly tough to spot. I've never even heard a rattle. What bothered me the most is we get birds in the rafters, chipmunks running around the terminal building sometimes, yet they instantly call Animal Services. A snake: Kill it!.

Love that steering wheel cover!

99% of the rattle snakes I've seen in my area have been sidewinder rattlesnakes (5 on my property alone) the other one was a Mojave Rattler which I gave a wide birth.

Great video 😊

It always surprises me when a non-venomous snake gets placed with a rattlesnake. I guess they have a "let's all get along" mentality.

I love the googly eyes on the tongs! 👀 😆 Maybe cut a piece of black felt into the shape of a forked tongue and glue it onto the bottom portion? 😅

Do most homeowners kill the sakes they find? Is it against the law? Does the homeowner pay for your service or does the state. Just curious how it works.

I always look at the head if it's thin and not wide, it's not a rattlesnake. Pit vipers have those wide heads.

I loved being referred to as a primate. We often forget we are part of the natural world.

Nice house that guy had

The people who design these property housing locations need to allow the snakes to move around but also insure the houses have snake fencing so the snakes never get inside where people live.

Since he picked up 3 snakes in her backyard, I guess we can forgive him for not picking up the dog poo. Lol.

Those rodent boxes are heavy because they're fitted with a concrete block so they don't get moved by an animal.

I don’t understand why you would clear out the gopher snakes?

I imagine the owner requested it. They've mentioned before they'll encourage people to leave harmless snakes where they are, but if people still want them gone they'll take 'em.

I can't believe people live in rattlesnake country and they permit their yards to be cluttered with junk and debris that are havens for the snakes. Then they act surprised when the snakes are hanging out on their property in that stuff.

Geez you didn't have to drop it in there like that

If I've learned anything from this channel it's to NOT have piles of stuff in the yard.

My question is do any of the snakes that was taken and released find their way back

My wife and I wanted to retire in Arizona, I'm not sure about it now.

You couldn’t pay me to move there

"See you later, envenomator!"

What happened to the dog that killed the snake.

It’s a shame that such beautiful snakes can be so dangerous.

I'd have left the gopher snakes, they're harmless except if you're a rodent.

rattlesnakes return to their birth den year after year so if you dont "eliminate" them you are just giving them a one way ride away from home , only to return again. if you get paid for this ,then you make money if its not a job your just making people feel good
