- On this herping trip, we were fortunate enough to come across several rattlesnakes as well as three rubber boas (including one monster!) in just a matter of days. Check out the highlights from a great weekend searching for snakes!

C'mon?!?! Just crushed the rubber boas! Sweet find guys. Dig those norpacs too!
Ya it was a good trip! New season is just around the corner! Too bad you retired ;)
@@herpingbc ha! well, I just can't hang with those east coasters. had to do somethin'
Great video! NorPacs have to be the calmest rattlesnake I have ever seen on here! Those Rubber Boas are so neat - I used to find them 25 years ago when I worked on a ranch near Williams Lake!
That rubber boa. Dream herp encounter right there.
Ya, it took us a long time to find boas with any regularity. The big ones are still few and far between, so we were pretty excited!
@@herpingbc man any rubber boa is a good day!!!
Right on guys!
It was a fun one!
Nuevamente un excelente vídeo de reptiles y exploración
Thanks for watching Alejandro!
What areas around Kamloops would you recommend for herping?
I would love to take our 14-year-old son out and teach him a little more about field herping and observing reptiles in their natural habitat.
I used to have some good spots in Kelowna, but I'm pretty new to the Kamloops area.
Cheers and thanks for sharing the videos.
It really depends on what you're looking for. Rattlers are mostly on the north shore along the southern facing slopes. Gopher snakes and racers can be found pretty much anywhere in Kamloops. Just have to get lucky and put some work in. We hesitate to give out exact locations.
Good grief that NorPac is a stunner.
Ya there are some beauties around! Looking forward to finding them again in the spring!
@@herpingbc I’m in Oklahoma and it’s 9 degrees. Next week sunny and 60s
Haha I'm in Alberta, Canada. Two days ago it was -40 with the wind chill. Still a few months away from snakes up here.
@@herpingbc oh yeah, it's crazy up there. I follow @Cat Bird and I honestly don't know how you guys do it.
A rubber boa. My dream find.
Do you live in the right region to find them?
@@herpingbc North Okanagan, yeah
We've had a lot of luck finding them during the summer crossing roads right after dark. Sometimes they are on the move during the day in the spring. Tough snake to find! Good luck!
@@herpingbc thanks!
