Ocho Verde Wildlife Channel

Ocho Verde Wildlife Channel

Wildlife adventures in Costa Rica & South Carolina and anywhere else that I may wander. We are always uploading videos of the amazing animals that we find to educate and advocate about the local fauna.

We utilize Trail Camera videos of animals that live in our forests. We show many snakes or lizards that we come across on day and NIGHT hikes. Its always in a fun spirit. We may even include a cool day trip that we took and some of the sights, sounds, and food we enjoyed.

We are involved in wildlife projects...from Big Cat Conservation projects to Snake awareness. We provide simple laminated charts to enable local people to easily and quickly distinguish a venomous snake from a non venomous snake. This keeps people AND the Snakes out of danger.

We may explore some of the customs and traditions of our area.
So jump in with us and take a look at why we enjoy being outdoors!
ALL proceeds from likes & subscriptions or ad revenue go back into providing & promoting our natural resources.

    Dumb me thought a snake needed to be COILED to deliver the death blow. How wrong this video proved that unwise thought. How wrong indeed. Glad I chose to continue on in the video despite primal fear even just viewing this creature on a computer in the relative safety of a residence. Still scary to me.

    I just purged the last Browning camera from my lineup. I've had more problems with them and will never buy another. Water ingress and ants gets in them. I currently have 8 Stealth Cam/Muddy from GSM and 11 WOSPORT cameras and other then a battery tray being down letting in moister and bugs, I've had no real issues. I also would NEVER buy another MOULTRIE camera. Just complete junk!

    I hate to hear you had so much trouble. A Browning rep told me recently that they thought water was coming through the microphone port. Myself and many others are awaiting the new browning cameras that will hopefully stop the problems. I have never tried muddy. How is the video quality? Browning has the best quality video I have seen in a trail cam and records at 60 frames per second. While wait for the new camera line, I’m experimenting with the low and high end models of GardePro, with mostly decent results.

    Do you think snakes can bite trough thin plates made of alluminium? Like, the type you find in cheap pans and stuff I'm planning about moving to an forest-like place, and i'm not confident enough with the leather snake proof boots I bought, even they almost reach my knee... So i've been thinking about reinforcing them with some kind of leg armor made of thin alluminium and leather, and wear it outside of the boots (Srry for my bad english btw)

    Hello Frank!! Wonderful video Frank sorry to see the dead snake of course but look at how many you save with all your dedicated hard dangerous work ! Be proud of yourself Frank great attitude towards life nature etc long may it continue , whilst watching this brilliant post a moth landed on my tv screen and in true Frank devotion I released it unharmed with the help of a plastic cup and a local pizza menu ……it was touch and go at one stage but I put my fears aside and powered thru as if you was beside me Frank ! LoL I genuinely went fresh water fishing in Dade county Florida and the serene silence was broken as a child screamed “Moccasin” when I realised this child didn’t not have a slipper phobia and actually was talking about a snake I’m ashamed to say I was last seen throwing women and children behind me heading for the nearest vehicle to hide behind!! Not my greatest moment in life Frank but I feel I’ve made huge progress concerning the moth incident!!
