This is a fantastic overview. Habitat and all. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome man! just caught a red sided a few days ago btw do they bite?

[@sandrastreifel6452]

They CAN bite, but are generally very calm snakes. If they chew on something, there’s a mild venom, but it cannot harm people.

[@TheSnakeLibrary]

Your alot better at talking about the species than I am. Very pretty snake.

Cool

[@AJherps]

Thanks man!

[@AJherps]

I would say no, I've caught at least thirty since April, and I have not been bitten or struck at.

[@AJherps]

Thanks dude! I'm hoping to get out and film some new species this season!

[@FlipperDude309]

awesome! sounds like a great idea to me! i haven't been out that much myself this year, but later in the summer i'm planning to get out to a couple spots to find some of the rarer species we get here in CT.

[@AJherps]

Thanks man, but it doesn't matter, you find way cooler stuff! Hopefully I'll be able to turn up some new species this season!

[@AJherps]

Dude, Copperheads!!

[@TheSnakeLibrary]

I think you will.

[@AJherps]

That's Awesome!

[@epicswordmewz7007]

A snake we think was a northwestern garter lived next to my house, and he seemed to trust me, probably cuz I bond with animals reeeeaaaaly fast.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

They can be so beautiful! Anything that eats slugs is a-okay with me! Hope he didn’t get you stinky!

[@FlipperDude309]

copperheads are totally on that list dude. i'm actually surprised we haven't seen any already. hopefully i can actually get some decent footage of them this year. last year we saw 4 in one week (3 of them were sitting together) but i didn't have my good camera then >-

[@stevethibeault6372]

i have a garter snake that looks exactly like that

[@epicswordmewz7007]

I always think about leaving a like on a good snake video, and I always leave a dislike on snake abuse videos, and this video earned a... like!
