HA HA you got MUSKED!

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Yup it happens to the best of us haha

[@smetlogik]

I'll take a garter any day. Always made me feel good when I couldn't find anything else. Plus, not as common in AZ.

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Yep, so true. I haven't done any herping out that way yet but know that your garters are also pretty incredible.

[@DiegoCarbajal-zi9nd]

[@creapycritters819]

[@williamhargis5746]

He could do a great Kermit the frog impersonation I bet.

A few days ago while my dad was fixing our driveway, he saw a baby. He didn’t know what snake it was, so he called me out and lifted our football. Right under, was a baby Eastern Garter Snake. I got to hold him and he kept running for shade. We left him alone and named him Michael 😂

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Aww that's awesome, I hope you see Michael again haha

[@Bitter_Beauty_Music]

If it gets a business degree it’s a barter snake lolololoool

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

I love this

[@palkiagaming2444]

I want to be like this guy just to be able to grab a snake

[@scubadiverderek9776]

Awesome video! I love garter snakes, they are definitely very cool!

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Thanks for watching Derek!

[@OneFlow-77]

Bruh, it's so hard to find snakes but I'm still tryin

[@estrobart6785]

Found a garter in a friends yard just two days ago!

[@turkeyvulture2882]

Awwww It’s so cute 🥰

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

It was definitely adorable!

[@JJ_876]

So ones in our yard, when I’m cutting grass it won’t bother me? It won’t bite me or anything, I don’t have to kill it?

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Nope, won't bother you one bit!

[@uranus_crunch_cake87]

I know theyre not dangerous but i still hate when im gardening and i get a jump scare from one popping out from somewhere. 😂

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Haha they can be quite surprising

[@Iamcloaker]

You know how much I was scared of snakes

[@squid4399]

You’re the best my guy!

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

No, YOU are the best!

[@dommyboysmith]

I'm also from New England. Mass
Not sure what the real name is but when I was a kid "greenies" (fairly aggressive) and "brownies" (super chill) were EVERYWHERE.
Racers were the more rare find.
Housing development completely leveled and destroyed the environment. They're all gone now. Haven't seen a brown or green snake in 15 years.
Now I only find these racers. Found a blue racer baby way off in the woods recently. Very rare for this area, so beautiful.

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Aww that's sad. Maybe greenies are smooth green snakes and brownies are Dekay's brown snakes?

[@impractical1158]

omg i ran into one of these at a park in new york state over the summer and it was so pretty and was like bobbing his head and dancing for us😅

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Aww that's cool!

[@danix4897]

snakes saw a man with a camera and was not wanting to be a part….then you snatched it up 💆🏾‍♂️

[@daveyng2]

I saw a garter snake. In Michigan

[@drewwhite2228]

whats the dif between a garter and a dekays brown ?

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Garters get way bigger and are semi-aquatic, dekays browns are more terrestrial and fossorial!

[@listenerofnature7899]

Nice!

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Thanks Chris!

[@thehousescientistkai4282]

I'm pretty sure that there's one in our yard

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

Nice, we've definitely had them in our yard a few times!

[@c_money8080]

Here in Maryland I see at least one per week. I love snakes. Great video and a new sub is deserved

[@markFinn1982]

I think the way he worded, his thought was odd "its about 90 degrees so not too cold"
ik hes talking about garter snakes but, he could have said it differently

[@arpitsrivstva]

I watched about them on BBC yesterday. They seek their female partner by racing through the terrains with others and the ones who reach females the first, the female do it with all of them. Ghosh! Life i guess

[@l-EliseOnP4ws-l]

I just saw one today and it just tried to bite my shoe. 🐍

[@braydonconley6728]

How many time have you been bitten from picking up a wild snake?

[@christophermccrea7133]

Seen one here in Jersey by a creek actually.

[@Macachee]

Aww he peed. 😢

[@stonedout4207]

We have these in Cincinnati

[@brittanylemaster11]

I see the regular garter snakes here in Hamilton in my yard. I miss Cincinnati tho.

[@charlieleonardo]

Awesome!

[@destinytallent2444]

Jus saved one from my cat... Hopefully 😥 nice creatures

[@bellasamantha237]

Do they get much bigger? I think I could handle this little cutie, (alas I don't mean Ben. LOL! 😁), but not the snakes we have here in Australia!

[@bellasamantha237]

Thanks for replying Ben. 😁
I think I'll continue to leave all snakes in Australia alone. LOL!

[@alonarobertalacsonmanohara1970]

Let it go you brut

[@the_canadian_goose6033]

Cry about it kid

[@MrMicahMane]

I love catching these snakes, but one thing I’m not a fan of, and you can see it in this video, is how they poop on you 😂 but hell if I was a snake I would also poop on a human for picking me up 😂 put me down please

[@TheWildReportOfficial]

They can be pretty stinky little noodles for sure!

[@the_irony_in_my_name]

Checkered back?

[@EddieLipe-bt4nc]

They also reek😂

[@wakawakawilly9365]

He peed on you. 😅

[@John--]

Garters actually musk as a defense mechanism. It's like being sprayed by a skunk too. It smells awful lol

[@shawnperico7221]

The most common here in Ohio too😂

[@MemeMadness]

What’s up
