Herping Canada's Desert: Snakes and Lizards

- The reptiles you see in this video are just a few of the many species found in Canada's only pocket desert located in British Columbia. It is also home to an array of other plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the country
It's been 6 years since this video was uploaded.
How are you have been, Northwest Herper? I would love to see more videos from you.
It’s too bad you couldn’t find our Spade footed toad! It’s actually on the endangered watch list, but we have lots here in the Valley. I saved some tadpoles from a puddle that was drying up “in the middle of the road” (not too picky I guess). I raised them till they morphed and got a little bigger then released them. As adults they can dig into the dirt and completely cover themselves in just moments because of the extra spade shaped bone in their back feet.
I didn’t know we had a blue tailed skink though - that’s cool!
There’s lots more snakes as well, but don’t tell my mom.
Excellent video
Cool!! Never knew so many species where I live!
Very cool
Great video. God bless!
I never knew Canada had deserts I always thought Canada had a lot of forests and wetlands
I live in Canada and I didn't even know that!
Sushi sickle and the thing is, it's pretty small when you compare it to the rest of Canada but it's bigger than some countries lol
Sushi sickle Same!
I live in osoyoos and the rattle snakes and lizards are regulars at my house 😂
@@braydengregory9922 What kinds of Lizards? Can you name them? Everything that is seen in this video? I am a Herp enthusiast and my wife and I want to move down there to Osoyoss.
There are other deserts in Canada too, I've been to the one in my home province Manitoba,they have neat creatures in Canada's deserts
nice video that rattle snake was beautiful
Theirs a tiny pocket desert in manitoba too
Love your videos, keep up the good work. Was this video filmed in the Okanagan?
Is this in osoyoos?
So whatever happened to the northwest herper? You havent posted in 5 years. Great content. Especially for your young age at the time. I'm not exactly sure where in the interior you are, but I'm in Merritt and we have a lot if the landscape and species you depict. Thanks again for sharing your passion. Hope you are doing well
Nice. Isolated habitats often hold unique species uncommon to the surrounding terrain!
My family on my mothers side originates from Winfield/lake country roughly 10 mins drive from Kelowna =) beautiful place to live .
Where do you find the skinks?
camera?
Hi! I'm planning a trip to this area with @snakes&stuff, wondering if you have any hidden spots you can let us know about! We are going in two weeks and are hoping to see Rattlesnakes, Racers, Gopher Snakes, or anything really! Thanks in advance.
Cool lizard
Where is this I would love to get into herping
This is cool! I live in the Kelowna area of the Okanagan and way too far out from places like Osoyoos where the pocket desert is. There's probably more places you can find snakes in Kelowna but I just don't know where to look.
Yeah, I don't know much about where to look in Kelowna, I know people who have found rattlesnakes in that area though
3 years later but there is lots of places I could tell you about
Yesterday I went to the Toronto zoo and I managed to trail off the path into the forest and I caught a wild ribbon snake
You should make more videos
Was this all in one day of herping?
Yeah, I was hoping to come across a gopher snake, but I struck out.
I love it! wish I had as rich spots for herps in my area..
wow 7 western skinks. where i live i am more likely to fiend an alligator lizard then a western skink and i only see 1 alligator lizard per year normally
What is herping?
Mr NaterTatter herping is where you go out of you house and catch wild reptiles and amphibians! 😊
*Mr NaterTatter* Herping - when u go out and hook up with ppl that have herpes sans condoms
Red Fox Films thats collecting
@@FloridaKingSnakes that is basically herping but ok
I want a western skink as a pet do you think this is possible? and/or a good idea?
If I was a snake and some guy named herpies tried to pick me up I'd bite him well on second thought maybe not lol
Introduce some tropical plants.
