Hey NKFherping, been a subscriber for years and i love watching your videos when i need to unwind after a long day. i happen to live in the middle of the Arizona Sonoran desert just North of Tucson and occasionally do a little herping myself, but since ive been herping this desert all of my life, i have become a little burnt out on my local herps so these days since i cant go anywhere else i find myself preferring more and more to just sit back and watch one of your videos instead because i get to see and enjoy Herps that i don't have the privilege of experiencing myself. for some reason, my all time favorite Sonoran Desert Herp has to be Urosaurus, especially males in breeding colors. I know you might think that Urosaurus are just "fence lizards" but to me their genus makes them even more like little badass dinosaurs than any other lizard.
The Pop Milk colabs have been fantastic!! This may have been the best Lamp episode ever!! Some really incredible finds in this one!!! And the pimp cane might have to be your new "magic snake stick"!!!
It was like a prettiest snake contest today! Coppers, milks, canebreaks, ribbons and racers all entered a contestant in today's show! I can't decide... the high orange/red milks or the light grey with dark chevrons and gold stripe canebreakes... and that high blue ribbon was so cool.. I love their goofy faces. I was all starry eyed this episode.
I literally can’t. I was looking for snakes yesterday and I didn’t look up anything about snakes and here you are popping up on my page. That’s how ya know you’re being watched
It was a copperhead video that brought me to you. I like what you do. I grew up in north Alabama. We have so many different types of terrain here we are able to see/find many different vipers here. In fact, in my early teens, back in the 70’s, they made my friends and I quite a bit of spending money. (Our parents would have killed us and the vet if they knew). A local vet would pay us cash money for undamaged poisonous snakes. Copperheads paid the least, diamondbacks next, then cottonmouths, with Pygmy rattlers at the top of the pay scale. I’ve also heard them called rock rattlers and velvet tails. They were short, fat, and very, very irritable. They did not like being disturbed, but, they were the easiest to catch. Cottonmouths were the hardest, but, that was due to the water. He had a milking set up where he harvested the venom and sold it. I’m sure he made a lot more money than he paid us, but, we didn’t have to handle them.
Man you guys rock Just casually poking around with all those copperheads and canebrakes and they are just lying around and not getting nasty But those guys pulling tin without gloves in snake country scare me
I haven't been watching your channel very long. I was wondering whether you leave sheets of metal, wood, or whatever hanging around in the wilderness to attract snakes, or is it just in the environment already? I'm from the UK, and I really don't see sheets of metal in the countryside left out like that. I think if I put some out I a specific location, some idiot would destroy it before I got back. We don't have too many snakes over here, but I do go out looking as often as I can. I find slow worms quite often, which, despite the name, aren't worms or slow. They're legless lizards and beautiful. Your snakes over there are so amazing. I'm very jealous.
Some of the sites we visit are setup specifically for snakes, and others are just abandoned structures and dump sites. Theres plenty of tin out there randomly too, but some areas are kept cleaner than others and some have been scrapped clean over time.
Those canebrakes were beautiful! I use to live in Vermont where there is a very small protected population and searched for a “timber” rattlesnake as we called them many times. Closest I came was a shed skin that was nearly intact head to tail. If I ever found one it would not look anything like those though, in Vermont they are typically very dark, sometimes the chevrons are barely visible. Was a great video, thanks!
Very beautiful rattlesnakes, milksnakes, large copperheads and ribbon snakes. Louisiana never disappoints either in numbers or diversity of snakes. In this instance, I am pretty sure that yu knew the place well beforehand. I am intrigued by the absence of truth kingsnakes though. Also I believe that predators and prey are so close to each other because of breeding season, when there food intake tends to be lower.
I saw his shirt said pimpin ain't easy and I thought it should say flipping ain't easy and have a dude flipping a piece of tin with a snake under it. I just thought it might be a good idea for some merch.
Was this Northern or central Louisiana. Asking because you seem to think the milks are a type of intergrade. The best milk day I ever had was 27 in one day. That is were we have put out about a tractor trailer load of tin lol.
Casually moves multiple venomous snakes around. Also get a little freaked from mice. Too funny. Oh, and don’t make the cane look at me. Super creepy. Thanks.
Can I ask what is the story behind so much corrugated iron sheets left in the area? Amazing diversity of species. Here in the UK I believe we only have three species. Grass snake quite common, Smooth snake very rare & Adder our only venenmous snake. Brilliant team and camera work. Cheers! 👍
Still waiting for the day I get snake numbers overall like that...but happy that last year gave me a 6 milk day too. Only a couple comparable in color to some of those things though. Curious since it was mentioned near the start: do you often have, or hear people having, problems with traveling on airplanes with snake hooks in the luggage? I'd think if it was in a checked bag going in the hold it would be fine (in carry-on obviously not), but I have heard a couple stories...
Out here in central Colorado the pack rats have developed a particular defences strategy they build thier nests out of a particular cactus a tall standing one we call the traveling cactus due to the fact they shed parts of themselves that you invariably pick up on one toe and stick it in the calf of your opposite leg these nests are the most pokey impenetrable fortresses somehow managing to never get stuck on the inch and a half long spines rats and cactus the stuff dreams are made of.
How come the cane brakes arent' rattling when you lift the tin? Do they not feel threatened or are they thinking you can't see them? Just curious because I thought they rattled as soon as they spot you.
I'm a Colorado person and although I like most non venomous snakes I pride myself on non snake days .yet on one particular day I sighted a snake I'd never seen in my 62 year old life a snake not often seen in the mountainous part of Colorado a green snake it's called and this one was stretched out on a deposit of red sandstone and was not hard to spot it was very beautiful. I dont kill venomous snakes the prairie rattler the only one here but I have mastered the technique of picking the right time and the right place so as not to encounter these reptiles while rock hunting but I do respect and admit to the need for people fond of these reptiles so good luck you guys !
Cans you give me any advice on where I could even find a spot with things to actually flip in or near lafayette? I can’t find any good spots with things to lift for the life of me,
I found a California Mountain King in my front yard and had the same reaction. Shaking because I probably won’t find another one in my life🤘wish I could share a pic.
Man, f*ck that stick tried to attack you. I have a question, so those were an integrated milk population between the reds here we have in Arkansas and another locality in Louisiana? Thanks for all the content. That was an amazing video. You should've let Kyle borrow your new cane since he had a "Pimpin' ain't easy" shirt 😂. Killer content as always. Catch you on the flip-side. Richard from Arkansas
In colo we have no shortage of racers most red and them and the bull snakes reaching a quite astounding size sometimes the biggest racer I've seen was over six feet and not having your exsperience I got bit trying to handle it not exceedingly painful but a sobering reminder anyway!
I like the way your custom hook "takes a first peek" over the edge of each piece of tin. 😂
Uuk
40?!?! Wow wow wow!! Awesome!! Thanks ! Noah!!

13:40 laughed so hard at this 😂
Me too, I’m not sure I’ve ever been repulsed at the sight of a wild animal before. We were laughing about that for hours 😂
They were hypoallergenic mice for hypoallergenic cats 😂😂😂😂
One of your best episodes ever

That enchanted hook NEEDS to become a regular on the channel 😆
Holy crap, y'all killin it. That fckn walking stick has the juju.

Video idea go to LITTLE GRAND CANYON IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS LOOK FOR THE SMALL POPULATION OF WDB. THERE STILL THERE.
@@NKFherpinghahaha
Banger of a video man! Keep up the good work
I literally can’t. I was looking for snakes yesterday and I didn’t look up anything about snakes and here you are popping up on my page. That’s how ya know you’re being watched
You can take a couple weeks off after that haul! Amazing milks! Love the new beer sponsor as well! Cheers!
I love how excited you guys get. It's awesome :) I've learned more about snakes from your channel. Thanks for the education!! 🙂🐍

Hooking venomous snakes during the video with no concern. Sees like 6 mice “AGHH” “AHH” from all of them 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤
Herpetology Achievement Unlocked: Snake-Pimpin' Cane.
Your reaction to those mice was hilarious to me
Killer snakes too!
Great description of the milks.
I Always loved The Milksnake Species they are my all time favorite Snake Species
Snakes be like: “why is the roof opening? Why are there strangers picking me up on a stick? PLEASE PUT ME DOWNNN!!!!”
Fr😂😂😂😂😂
8:08 imagine walking in the forest and all of a sudden you hear someone scream “MILK!!!!!” in the distance 😭😭😭😭😭
“MILK!!! OH YEAH, I CONTRIBUTED!! LOOK AT THAT!”
Cv hcghxgxdg
wow thats alot of venom in them woods😂😂nice finds beautiful milks
When you were looking at that coppers belly he looked like a kid having to show his moms friends his new clothes 😂😂
Man you guys rock
Just casually poking around with all those copperheads and canebrakes and they are just lying around and not getting nasty
But those guys pulling tin without gloves in snake country scare me
My 4 year old daughter said the milk snake looks like a clown fish. She's obviously seen finding Nemo!
Love the channel!
That's sweet haha😂
Great show with some nice looking snakes. “Aw it’s big and gorgeous.” That’s what she said. 🐍 🦎
Love the Parrish plug at the end🍻
Flip in style 😂😂😂 hope the Cane brought you luck and produced a couple of gorgeous Timber Rattlesnakes 😂😂😂
Nice man. Just got back from herping snake road , MO glades, and Arkansas for 2 weeks. Gotta love this time of the year
the Milikys are pretty, but the copperheads are the most exotically stunning color-wise. Just incredible!
Wow that first copperhead really blended in with the leaf litter !
Beats days where you’re having to grind it out to find one snake. The cane obviously needs to go with you everywhere. It’s good luck ❤
Hey Noah, do you think you’ll ever go herp out west near the Great Basin/mojave desert region? Like Nevada or Utah?
I haven't been watching your channel very long.

You need to bring that magic hook along every time! 🤣

Meanwhile if I find 2 snakes in a day I'm over the moon
These guys are AMATEURS compared to you bro!! 💯💪🏾🏆
Beautiful orange milksnake! Just beautiful!

So cool! The Lampropeltis finds, awesome!
that improvised snake hook is really cool honestly, i wanna find something like it now
Awesome finds in this one.
So glad that ur able to do in Louisiana! I live in Louisiana!
Now that's what real herping is all about - flipping tons of good cover with nothing under it.
Those Canebrake rattlesnakes and copperheads are beautiful!!
Been waiting
That walking stick is definitely good voodoo. I contributed! 😂
Nicest milk for sure the eastern milks from NC that are really red are nice too
I saw his shirt said pimpin ain't easy and I thought it should say flipping ain't easy and have a dude flipping a piece of tin with a snake under it. I just thought it might be a good idea for some merch.
You never know what you’re going to find at a Loves.
More questions my friend.
What are the "vouchers" that you spoke of?
Still loving your videos.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Just voucher photos of the animals for my notes.
Some people take vouchers to put on citizen science websites as well.
I watched one episode of Billy the exterminator and I get recommended this?
Much appreciated 👊🏻 YT
You guys should market some copperhead camo man do they blend in but I guess lying on the ground in your area is probably not a good idea!
Was this Northern or central Louisiana. Asking because you seem to think the milks are a type of intergrade. The best milk day I ever had was 27 in one day. That is were we have put out about a tractor trailer load of tin lol.
I was curious on your cameras you use ? Like your videos are so clean and amazing. And your photos of snakes are 👌
I love his pimpin ain't easy shirt in the scene after you bought a pimp cane. Lmao 😂
I LOVE the new "bird" cane! Please, where did you get it?
Casually moves multiple venomous snakes around. Also get a little freaked from mice. Too funny. Oh, and don’t make the cane look at me. Super creepy. Thanks.
Hi I like snacks and I love ur videos because u catch snakes
Is that a sword cane? LOL, but it works good for flipping tin. Take care and keep up the good work.
Can I ask what is the story behind so much corrugated iron sheets left in the area? Amazing diversity of species. Here in the UK I believe we only have three species. Grass snake quite common, Smooth snake very rare & Adder our only venenmous snake. Brilliant team and camera work. Cheers! 👍
Most of it is set up specifically for snakes.
@@ezragatton5431 Oh I see! Creating habitat. Thankyou for the info!
The tin mountains are insane in these locs!

What temperature and time of day were these flip sessions on average?
It was probably 70° this day

Are the milk snakes full grown
Your brave picking up those broadheads lol
Mega day, you even have Canebrake beer, I was clearly born in the wrong part of the world!
Cans you give me any advice on where I could even find a spot with things to actually flip in or near lafayette? I can’t find any good spots with things to lift for the life of me,
Respect my brother
Quick question: why do you call them Canebrake Rattlesnakes instead of Timber Rattlesnakes? is one name more correct than the other?
Where do you find places with all this tin laying around?
I've always wanted to catch a milk but I never got to where can I find one ?
My milksnake would never let a lizard run over it. :-)
I found a California Mountain King in my front yard and had the same reaction. Shaking because I probably won’t find another one in my life🤘wish I could share a pic.

Beautiful canebrakes
Been in Louisiana my whole life and never saw a milk. I am in range but just havent saw one. Always find canes in my flipping spots but never a milk
I sure would like to see a milk snake 🐍 in Louis.
Bro, does anybody else like snakes unlike me I love snakes like I love love love love, love, snakes
Dude I wish I would’ve known where you was at in Louisiana I would’ve loved to come herpping with you. I live in Louisiana
I love snakes and milk snacks carper and other
I love these videos, but can someone please explain why all that tin is there?
Yes it is
What a beautiful snake.
That other guy almost grabbed a copper head, lol. That could have ended badly.
R.I.P all of you, gon turn into zombie mouses 😂😂
A lot of snakes .. everywhere
Do you know what type of snake has a colerashoin of black and yelow?
i bet those guys guard their flip spots with their lives 😭
These snakes are insane
In colo we have no shortage of racers most red and them and the bull snakes reaching a quite astounding size sometimes the biggest racer I've seen was over six feet and not having your exsperience I got bit trying to handle it not exceedingly painful but a sobering reminder anyway!
U a ween fan ? What deaner' was talking about is a good tune. Check out ween , they jam out
You must come to SouthEast Ohio!
(8:53) That was probably the racer that laid those racer eggs.
Yeeeeeee😂😂
How do you find so many snakes
