Your channel/videos is great for educating my son and I about our state's snakes. He loves the videos and I appreciate your knowledge. Thanks as I know you are helping to conserve species via education.
You hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much for watching and for complimenting. I hope you and your son learn alot and grow a passion for the gorgeous reptiles we have here.
Hey thanks man I will send you picture of snakes that I don't know off, I will be letting the blotched water snake go but I'm still in love with it although it is very mean. Thanks again
I live in southeastern Texas and I have this cool looking snake I found still a juvenile but I don't know if it is poisioness i found her in a swamp. She looks like a baby rat snake/ chicken snake but on the side is orange
No problem buddy. Stupid is not a term I would use to describe the average person who knows little about snakes. You are not stupid, you just lack knowledge in herpetology. I will catch you up to speed with my videos, no worries. :)
I personally have never captured one, but this year is my year. This is the first year I have found a place with a breeding population of pygmys, so I am excited for spring.
Common...no. But if you know the right areas, they can be locally abundant. I recently found a great area very close to me in which I am dying to herp. I am not a collector, but I cannot wait to photograph/film one.
you need to compare the brown snakes to a western pigmy because those are also confused for browns like you mentioned, and cause i cant find any good videos of western pigmy rattlesnakes...
I agree. There are not many good videos showcasing the beautiful patterning of the Western Pygmy and I WILL catch one as soon as spring hits. I finally found a good location where they have been collected regularly. Now all I need is some decent weather. I also found a great Canebrake spot, so be looking for that doc as soon as they are captured.
Great, but I mostly fish black bayou which is within a few miles east of caddo. I have a lake house on the bayou and 10-12 pound bass are caught regularly there.
No, but I am sure you may be able to find some pygmys, canebrakes, milks, speckled kings, and maybe even pine snakes over there as well. I hunt/fish in Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston, Black Bayou, and Caddo Lake.
your are so lucky to find milk snakes!!! my goals this year are a louisiana milk snake, speckled king snake, and of course a western mud snake..im gona have a hard time meetin those goals though cause i have no way to go to good spots, but i might be able too catch them when we go fishin up on toledo..
That reminds me, I also want to get a speckled king this year. In the 12 years Ive lived here, I have seen one. I do not know of anywhere close in which these snakes are considered common. You should be able to find some good stuff at Toledo Bend.
yeah cottonmouths are by far my favorite snake!!! i have a good population of them in my pond...but i felt really blessed to find the crayfish snake because the neighbors dog killed one and i was VERY disapointed to find it dead!! then i started looking in the shallows of my pond where i caught my first one last year and manged to find another one....but good luck finding a crayfish snake, there not very common!!
I wish I had a good cottonmouth spot. I will find one come spring though. I mostly catch Louisiana Milk Snakes, Texas Rat snakes, Copperheads, Western Dback rattlers, Blacktails, Mojaves, Gophers, and water snakes. My goal this year is to catch another mottled rock rattler, a massasauga, find a good cottonmouth, canebrake, and pygmy rattler spot. Big wishes, but I am going to do it no matter what. Thanks for the good luck wishes and best to you.
ive caught quite a few rough earths too, often under the same boards as the texas browns...the only other snakes ive captured this year is the very secretive gulf crayfish snake and a very large western cottonmouth..
I would say that you have been blessed quite a good bit. I LOVE cottonmouths, but never find them. I have only captured one crayfish snake too. Photographing and filming both of those would be awesome. Hopefully, my luck will escalate when spring hits.
I agree. I wanted to keep the baby Southern Copperhead because he was so cute, but I do not need a hot snake. I released him not far from where we filmed this.
nice vid, i like how you compared them to show the differences...and thats definently true that Texas Browns are common, i caught 7 last saturday fippin boards..did you recently catch that southern copperhead.
Thanks buddy. I caught the copperhead last week, but I have not been catching much. Mostly rough earth snakes and texas browns. I cannot wait for spring!!! I finally got a new lens for my camera that I am dying to use on some snakes. Let me know when your numbers start going up.
you got alotta balls to fuck with a snake like that.
