Happy Holidays! And a big thanks to Ace Labs for making some great new original songs for this video.

[@sarahlarson8226]

Wow! Love the suspense! Also really, really like the new music! This is a grand video, so glad we didn’t all tip over in the canoe.
One question: I’ve been reading about iguanas freezing and falling out of trees in Florida. How do small reptiles like that water snake make it through the winter?

[@KNFishingSmarts]

Thanks, Sarah. Yeah, the music made this video real nice. Reptiles and amphibians in the northern latitudes will just go into hibernation/brumation for the winter. That mostly involves finding a hole, usually under big boulders, and waiting it out.
