So I am pretty sure that the first toad that you found is a hybrid of a Southern toad and a Fowler's toad. We have a lot of cross breeding between the two species in the Carolinas.
@@juliusroman8616 Yea normally they hybreds have the Fowlers markings... Out on my mom's property she has 1000s every year. She has property that boarders a bird scantuary for the NC woodpeckers, so she has cool little critters all over the place.
@@juliusroman8616 Yeah i have 2 fowler's toads and used to have 4 (Those two passed away, I will very much miss them) and mine don't have 3 warts per spot and we only really have fowler's toads and american toads and other then that they look exactly like the fowler's toads
Those high school calls are mainly from the “senioridae schoollairus” they are native throughout North America and parts of Europe most of them are mating yells of them trying to get in a relation ship that will most likely fail in a couple months
I 100% understand why y'all were excited but I still find it adorable how excited y'all were about species that I see outside my house everyday and one of the restaurants I used to work at green tree frog central they were just absolutely everywhere
Gotta appreciate the fact they have the best interest out for the animals they catch. Putting the frogs and toads back in safe locations, then the turtle further out so kids wont grab it.
I mean, she did also put a toad - which was pretty obviously a different species from the other one - in a confined space with a larger omnivorous animal despite finding it somewhere else entirely. And then did it again after it tried to flee from there. TBH this episode is actually one of the worst examples for this comment because it's the only herping video on the channel with this much seemingly random disregard for the safety of the animals involved and their own rules. I just have no idea why this episode is the only one where they've recorded themselves making meaningful exceptions to the 'put them where you found them' rule. It's like they were so disturbed by the presence of teenagers just outside of their own homes that they fixated on the threat they hypothetically posed to the animals while forgetting that predators exist.
This herping video goes to show that wildlife is everywhere right under our noses, we just need to know where to look and you're bound to find something interesting if you look in the right places. Life always finds a way to survive.
so true. I live in the suburbs, but today I saw a barn owl getting harassed by crows in the trees right outside my bedroom window. sometimes life comes to you, wherever you are
I live in northern Sweden. I love it here but herping is hopeless. In urban areas there’s a toad and two kinds of snake. If you go out to a forest you can also find two different frogs and two different lizards. A newt if you’re very lucky. Of course I get excited every time I see any little critter, but there aren’t really any surprises 😔
I was feeling really upset and down and then I started watching this video and it's really brought me back honestly. It sounds stupid but genuinely just watching you guys chase frogs and toads around and get excited about them has made my evening a lot better.
Same feeling. I'm in pain - it woke me up (2:27 am where I am). They were a happy distraction as I'm waiting for my meds to kick in. Thank you Snake Discovery! 🐍 🐸 🐢 🦎
I grew up in SC with a small garden pond outside my window. It took me YEARS to sleep ok without the sound of green tree frogs outside my window. They still make me sleepy.
Most people: aww baby frogs how cute! Emily: Hi! only 5 percent of you will make it to adulthood! There are a lot of things that can eat you right now!
This makes me so happy, seeing you herp on a college campus! I was that weird kid chasing frogs and toads and snakes on my campus, haha! I totally understand getting all the weird Looks from other people walking around.
This is a shockingly good idea but try for a slow night if you can. I work night shift on a college campus and to count the things I've seen since April (things liven up for spring) between midnight and sunrise we have Armadillos, cats, raccoons, foxes, GIANT owls, rabbits, frogs, toads, turtles, geckos, anoles, ring neck snakes, black racers, rat snakes, giant wolf spiders, cicadas, more snails than sand on a beach, giant water bugs, opossums, bats and about 67,000 mosquitos. The combination of large grassy fields, easy sources of damp grass and water and relatively light foot travel in my corner of the campus yields some interesting results. Note: I have been jump scared by blind armadillos spooking themselves soooooooo many times. Please, let the staff know what you are doing ahead of time. You will give us heart attacks.
I live in Charleston and I love hearing y’all talking about our local fauna. My back porch is covered in green tree frogs and southern toads at night and they’re so cute! I love them.
I'm currently working out of Charleston crashing with my parents for awhile. I live in the Upstate and of course I'm back home while they are there!! I'm so disappointed, I was really hoping to meet them!!
When I was a senior in HS our senior picnic was at a local park with a road back to picnic areas. It poured rain for a short while and we all hide under the shelters. After the rain stopped when you looked at the road it seemed to be moving. Closer inspection revealed it was covered in tiny little toads, smaller than a dime each but thousands of them. There was a runoff stream parallel to the road and they must have just all come up since everything was wet. Amazing sight I still remember over 40 years later.
I live a little more towards the middle of SC, and as someone who loves reptiles but likes to keep distance from frogs, (USed to be same for all lizards, but now just the small ones) I can confirm my back yard would be a treasure trove for ya'll. (Also pretty sure I heard a rattle snake in the woods today--)
Not SC, but i did live near a swampy area for a bit. Frogs can get surprisingly loud and provides a constant background noise at night if you leave windows open. It was nice to listen to, but it would probably be terrible for anyone needing to get clean recordings of anything not frog related.
@@popenieafantome9527 Completely true, I live near a river and so a lot of them are here and hear it time I open a door or window. Sounds is great even if I worry of them jumping on me lol
I also live near mid carolina and i can confirm my backyard is just frogs and lizards galore as well as snakes every now and then (especially copperheads lol)
I love green tree frogs and they’re adorable, but they’re less adorable when one is on the wall outside your bedroom window while you’re trying to sleep. They are surprisingly loud and obnoxious for such little critters.
I love seeing all the little toadlets! I live in NE Wisconsin and we used to get hundreds of tiny little toad babies hopping around our yard in early summer, but for some reason haven't seen them in years. It does make mowing the lawn a lot easier and...cleaner, shall we say?😅
I live in Georgia and when you mentioned the calls in the background I hadn't realized you could still hear them in the video because they were blending in perfectly with the ones outside.
Pfff. I only saw the college campus part and had to watch it. I am actually in college at the moment so this is perfect. Called it, I had a feeling that the students were staring at them
I used to go herping there back in the 80's when CSU was called Southern Baptists at their summer camp "Minds Alive". Thanks for the memories and sure hope y'all enjoyed your visit to Charleston!
These are species that love my back deck (aside from the slider), but it’s so cool to see someone so excited about them. We try to provide shelter for any we see! The GTF absolutely love our umbrella on the deck, so we don’t open it often lol.
This sounds a lot like Texas at night too. It’s the song of my state. I sure do miss these lovely sounds. I live in a very dry part of California and sometimes I hear toads but nothing like this. So beautiful.
We live in Charleston! My daughter is a huge fan. Watching Snake Discovery helped her get through the pandemic. We now have a female hognose named Bob. The SCPARC hosts some awesome field trips in South Carolina. We did some terrapin sampling with them on the Kiawah River in May. Saturday evening, 7/16, they are doing a nighttime herping field trip at the Old Santee Canal Park. We are sad to miss it because we are out of town. We would love to find out if y'all are doing any public educational events in SC in the future. We are talking about taking a vacation to Minnesota just to see Snake Discovery! Thanks for all you do to introduce so many people to the wonderful world of Reptiles and Amphibians!
When you picked up the toads, my heart genuinely skipped a beat! Probably because we've always been warned against touching toads in the UK, but I think ours are toxic 😂 Also, the green tree frogs sound so cool! Like they're singing!
Toads in the US and UK are poisonous, meaning they will only harm you if you eat them! They are not venomous meaning that they cannot bite or sting you and give you poison that way. Touching them does not harm you, that’s just a common misconception. Just don’t lick your fingers if you get their toxins on you, they come from the glands behind their ears and eyes.
I think the US has some toxic toads as well, but Emily has quite a bit of knowledge and probably knows which are safe to handle or researches area beforehand. As long as they wash hands after handling, it should be fine.
They arent toxic to hold. It was just told to kids to stop them from harming the toad. You should really have wet hands when you handle them for a long time because dry hands will dry out their skin, which they breathe through but for short times its not that bad. But in the uk they are safe to hold so dont worry too much about it.
One of my favorite frogs in my area is the pacific wood frog, they like ponds shaded by trees away from fast currents, and when you catch them they "Meep!" to try and scare you. They are so adorable!
When I was in college I always loved finding reptiles on my campus. One of my best finds was a broadhead skink during mating season. The males have these bright reddish orange heads during the breeding season.
This was great! I love these kinds of videos where you go herping. It reminds me of how much fun I had herping and bringing home what I found to show my family… sometimes to their chagrin. Makes me wonder what you guys would do in Louisiana where it’s really quite hard to not see some kind of reptile or amphibian on any given day; even in the cities. As far as urban places to look, the University of Louisiana in Lafayette has a literal swamp in the center. You can’t go in it on account of the alligators, but that place attracts the harder to find reptiles and amphibians. Many of which make their way out or into the swamp at night. Save for the alligators… usually. The alligator snapping turtle never left yet, or was taken out that I know of. The bigger reptiles there would often be part of relocation programs; animals that were rescued from precarious situations and would be checked by the biology department before being released in the wild. It’s a great place for birding too. Not to mention the parks and reserves. No better place to get up close and personal to Rexy’s relatives than canoeing or kayaking in Lake Martin or Palmetto Island.
Can second this! Louisiana is a great place for herping (if the bugs don't bother you lol). And ULL's campus has a bunch of wildlife, is decently well lit, and is overall a pretty little campus. Would love to see Snake Discovery do a series of videos herping on different college campuses!
@@alicecain4851 Well, it depends on where and when you see them. You wouldn’t want to paddle in February and March when the males are competing and bellowing, or in mid-August or early September when their eggs are hatching. Both times aren’t great for paddling anyway, either too hot or too cold to really enjoy it. The time between in late spring and summer when they’re nesting is only dangerous if you don’t respect their nesting space. In general alligators are pretty chill, they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. They’re usually more than happy to just let you move past. Where also matters too. Places like a lake and the bayous are where you’d find the biggest alligators, so obviously more dangerous. In places like Palmetto Island State Park and other smaller waterways usually don’t have massive adults. Most of those alligators are younger, often having just left their mothers to maybe six or seven feet long. That’s the largest I’ve seen there at least. And honestly, alligators would be the least of my worries there. I’d be more concerned about black bears and feral pigs. That’s me though.
@@nanicruz2656 That’s true. Deer flies are always a pain… often literally. The cities aren’t so bad; even with mosquitoes. That would be fun. I’d love to see more people go herping in Louisiana. I never see it.
Oh, I see I got some Louisiana family out here!! Hope everyone is surviving the heat and rain okay. Btw, I too would love to see some herping videos out here especially from an visitor's perspective.
What a beautiful natural chorus in the background due to the green tree frogs. So cool. The yellow bellied slider looked like it had a smiley face on it’s plastrum with the two black dots and the little dark line just below them. All those cute toadlettes! I can’t believe how many there were in that one small area! Nature is so incredible if you just take the time to appreciate it. Thanks for the video Emily and Ed. You two need to get one of those portable emergency power sources as a backup for when you forget to charge your phones lol. You can get some pretty decent ones for pretty cheap and that way you’ll not miss out on a great filming opportunity because of a dead battery. ☺️💕
I’d guess that first toad is a fowlers toad. I have a pet fowlers toad that has more distinct crests and the 3 warts per spot is not 100% a rule, but a ‘most of the time’ type of a rule that they have 3 per on most sections but 1 or 2 per in some places. The crests can be prominent in all species but they are different shapes, they don’t all line up with the paranoid glands in the same way. I had a diagram from college but have lost it sadly! We have all these same species in Alabama where I’m from
Awe! I'm in south east NC. So about 3 hours from there. I loved watching y'all react to the green tree frogs! That's probably something we take for granted down here sometimes. Even the baby yellow belly! I used to have one as a kid. Much love from the Carolina's!! ♥️♥️♥️
When I lived in Georgia, we had green and grey tree frogs everywhere. There were Fowler's and American toads, but only in the wooded areas. Bull frogs and pig frogs were the ones you heard, but rarely saw.
In New Orleans, right now it's super rainy season, so there are lots of little frogs/toads hopping around the French Quarter. They look like the toadlets you found. They are tiny: about the size of a quarter, dark, and super cute.
We had a huge toad that lived in the grass at the back entrance of my dorm building in college. I loved him he was all fat and adorable! His name was salvyster .
That's awesome, my hubby and I live just up in Myrtle Beach, we spend alot of time down in Charleston as hevis a cancer patient at MUSC. So cool to see y'all in our area
Grew up in the Upstate of SC. Just about every evening we would go out looking for frogs and toads. In our area we basically only had the Fowler toad or a hybrid of the Fowler and Southern
@@ThePhoenixUnderwater unfortunately not, I saw this video when it posted and then realized that they were in my area! Hopefully one day I can go up to their facility and meet them there!
I grew up in SC! You could definitely do a whole miniseries about our native wildlife. They are mostly easy to catch and find. I'd love to see more about Southern and desert species 💚
S.C your in my stomping grounds. Charleston is a nice but crowded place. We've had a lot of rain lately sounds like a symphony around my house at night. Love it and I love you guys! As always thanks for taking us along for the ride!
NO WAY!!!! You guys are literally right in my home town!!!!! Welcome!!!! You guys are probably gone by the time of posting but still this is awesome, I see these locations weekly! Fun fact: I recently found Brown Anoles in Ladson just a few miles away last month.
"Emily is in South Carolina, redefining bravery We'll never be free until we go herping" Had to make that Hamilton reference when the word "South Carolina" was said
Love all the lil frogs!! Their calls were so loud and so soothing :) Oh, for the question at the end "can blind people see their dreams?" There is a known answer for that - They cannot! If they were born blind. If they went blind later, the visual part of dreams will be present, but decrease with age. Like memories, ya know?
I’m currently caring for a gray tree frog, he’s surprisingly easy to handle. His name is Houdini, and since I’m not tong feeding he can be released back into the wild.
Just because you didn’t ting feed him doesn’t mean you can release him? Never release pets into the wild ever. Not only for the fines and the ecosystem and the pet itself is just gonna die
I love turtles… so much that i got a hermanns tortoise. Would love to see more of the turtles and tortoises of your channel. Me and Noki (my tortoise) say hello from Florida.
Emily recently said it would be soon, but idk exactly when. I'm wondering when she's going to talk about her nose surgery. She said she would. I'm curious about it because I care about her as a person. I'm sure all her fans do though. I love ALL her videos. The fact that she is willing to share just about anything about her life, that isn't deeply personal makes me love her even more. She's such an open book and I love it. It makes it feel more as that she's a friend, and not just some person on the Internet.
During the summer, especially mid to late summer, when it's hot and super humid (with frequent thunderstorms), you can find reptiles and amphibians EVERYWHERE in the Carolinas. I love falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs during the summer.
So, I used to live about 5 miles from that college and I kept a few plants under a light outside of the garage. I kept the light on at night and I probably had 20 to 30 green tree frogs living on that shrub and they had an easy meal at night! Love your content!
I just wanted to say that i LOVE your herping videos! I love learning more about reptiles, but it's a special kind of cool when you encounter them in the wild!!
I had the same frogs (green tree frogs) in my last apartment complex. They were so loud 😂😂 I never really saw them out and about and didn’t try catching any. We also had koi and a ton of turtles in the ponds in front of my building. Very few predators except random birds that would swallow the koi whole 😬😬😬😬
So my top 2 favorite frogs are Milk Tree Frogs and Green Tree Frogs and one is native to my area and it is the Green Tree Frog's so if I were to have a pet frog it would be 1 of the 2 but most likely Green Tree Frogs since they are kept as pets. I really just want to work with animals in general so yeah- I am autistic and animals are one of my special interests :>
I’m autistic too and animals are one of my special interests too! The other night I adopted a slug and made a little habitat for him outside. I left it open in case he wanted to return to the wild and he did. I have a lot of pets and want even more 😂 including a hognose snake.
@@PhoenixRoseYT :0 I sadly can't keep any pets yet but I am doing research on the ones I really want like frogs, snakes, jumping spiders, rats, and a few others. I do love insects just I am a tiny bit scared of them though-
The last fee days of school last school year i found a hatchling River Cooter on top of its head, shell vertical, right outside the school door. I’m pretty sure someone put it like that but i took it in and gave it to a person i knew well who had a friend looking for a turtle for their pond. I was shown a video of him settling in :) I didn’t return it to the wild as it may have been on its head for a long time an there was no way to tell if it had sustained any trauma or neurological issues due to it, and I was afraid that it would meet a more unfortunate end if a crueller person found it after :( Just before that a person killed a toad i had found after i released it back. He came up to show us the injured toad and I took it back home but it was too badly injured to save. It held on for a few hours, and I hope it was at peace that it was in a safe and warm home when it passed.
I love watching herping videos, so many cool animals that are native and common in different areas. The toadlets remind me of the baby frogs we have every year. This year we had hundreds that cling onto the side of the pond and then over a few days they make their way 3 or 4 metres to the hedge. We have to be careful where we tread when that’s happening and don’t cut the lawn when they start to lose their tadpole tails.
I wish I knew that y'all were here in Charleston sooner. My husband actually used to work for security for CSU a few years ago and he even in fact had to rescue an adult water moccasin or copperhead (I can't remember which one) one time. He even saw the campus' alligator a few times there. Enjoy y'all's time here and be safe going back home.
I lived in SC and you could definitely hear all the different toads and frogs screaming. I went to Coastal Carolina where we had a pond specifically named Turtle Pond because of how many turtles you could see in it. So many sizes and breeds
What a dose of melancholia.🐸 We used to raise bullfrogs in our backyard pond. This was before computers and cell phones when we actually spent time outside!🚲
So I am pretty sure that the first toad that you found is a hybrid of a Southern toad and a Fowler's toad. We have a lot of cross breeding between the two species in the Carolinas.
I was gonna say, he looks exactly like the fowler’s picture!

I looked up more pictures of southern toads and it looks like there's quite a lot of variation, including some that looked like the guy caught.
Cool!

These are species that love my back deck (aside from the slider), but it’s so cool to see someone so excited about them. We try to provide shelter for any we see! The GTF absolutely love our umbrella on the deck, so we don’t open it often lol.
This sounds a lot like Texas at night too. It’s the song of my state. I sure do miss these lovely sounds. I live in a very dry part of California and sometimes I hear toads but nothing like this. So beautiful.
We live in Charleston! My daughter is a huge fan. Watching Snake Discovery helped her get through the pandemic. We now have a female hognose named Bob.
The SCPARC hosts some awesome field trips in South Carolina. We did some terrapin sampling with them on the Kiawah River in May. Saturday evening, 7/16, they are doing a nighttime herping field trip at the Old Santee Canal Park. We are sad to miss it because we are out of town.
We would love to find out if y'all are doing any public educational events in SC in the future. We are talking about taking a vacation to Minnesota just to see Snake Discovery! Thanks for all you do to introduce so many people to the wonderful world of Reptiles and Amphibians!
Everything you found was so cute. I learned a lot about the reptiles you found. That turtle was beautiful.
Emily and Ed I love your videos so much. You guys are so caring to animals and each other.
When you picked up the toads, my heart genuinely skipped a beat! Probably because we've always been warned against touching toads in the UK, but I think ours are toxic 😂
Also, the green tree frogs sound so cool! Like they're singing!
Toads in the US and UK are poisonous, meaning they will only harm you if you eat them! They are not venomous meaning that they cannot bite or sting you and give you poison that way. Touching them does not harm you, that’s just a common misconception. Just don’t lick your fingers if you get their toxins on you, they come from the glands behind their ears and eyes.
I think the US has some toxic toads as well, but Emily has quite a bit of knowledge and probably knows which are safe to handle or researches area beforehand. As long as they wash hands after handling, it should be fine.
It's only if you ingest them, handling is fine but I'd still recommend washing your hands 🙂
They arent toxic to hold. It was just told to kids to stop them from harming the toad. You should really have wet hands when you handle them for a long time because dry hands will dry out their skin, which they breathe through but for short times its not that bad. But in the uk they are safe to hold so dont worry too much about it.
It's all fun in-game until one day the toad will somehow give you warts...
One of my favorite frogs in my area is the pacific wood frog, they like ponds shaded by trees away from fast currents, and when you catch them they "Meep!" to try and scare you. They are so adorable!
When I was in college I always loved finding reptiles on my campus. One of my best finds was a broadhead skink during mating season. The males have these bright reddish orange heads during the breeding season.
Hello faolan, how're you doing today!!?
Love it when you find giant piles of toadlets. Saw that near a waterfall when I was camping, once.
This was great! I love these kinds of videos where you go herping. It reminds me of how much fun I had herping and bringing home what I found to show my family… sometimes to their chagrin. Makes me wonder what you guys would do in Louisiana where it’s really quite hard to not see some kind of reptile or amphibian on any given day; even in the cities. As far as urban places to look, the University of Louisiana in Lafayette has a literal swamp in the center. You can’t go in it on account of the alligators, but that place attracts the harder to find reptiles and amphibians. Many of which make their way out or into the swamp at night. Save for the alligators… usually. The alligator snapping turtle never left yet, or was taken out that I know of. The bigger reptiles there would often be part of relocation programs; animals that were rescued from precarious situations and would be checked by the biology department before being released in the wild. It’s a great place for birding too. Not to mention the parks and reserves. No better place to get up close and personal to Rexy’s relatives than canoeing or kayaking in Lake Martin or Palmetto Island.
Can second this! Louisiana is a great place for herping (if the bugs don't bother you lol). And ULL's campus has a bunch of wildlife, is decently well lit, and is overall a pretty little campus. Would love to see Snake Discovery do a series of videos herping on different college campuses!
I would hate to kayak in the same water that an alligator was in.
Just the low profile of the craft...
Yikes!🐊🐊🐊
@@alicecain4851 Well, it depends on where and when you see them. You wouldn’t want to paddle in February and March when the males are competing and bellowing, or in mid-August or early September when their eggs are hatching. Both times aren’t great for paddling anyway, either too hot or too cold to really enjoy it. The time between in late spring and summer when they’re nesting is only dangerous if you don’t respect their nesting space. In general alligators are pretty chill, they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. They’re usually more than happy to just let you move past.
Where also matters too. Places like a lake and the bayous are where you’d find the biggest alligators, so obviously more dangerous. In places like Palmetto Island State Park and other smaller waterways usually don’t have massive adults. Most of those alligators are younger, often having just left their mothers to maybe six or seven feet long. That’s the largest I’ve seen there at least. And honestly, alligators would be the least of my worries there. I’d be more concerned about black bears and feral pigs. That’s me though.
@@nanicruz2656 That’s true. Deer flies are always a pain… often literally. The cities aren’t so bad; even with mosquitoes. That would be fun. I’d love to see more people go herping in Louisiana. I never see it.
Oh, I see I got some Louisiana family out here!! Hope everyone is surviving the heat and rain okay. Btw, I too would love to see some herping videos out here especially from an visitor's perspective.
What a beautiful natural chorus in the background due to the green tree frogs. So cool. The yellow bellied slider looked like it had a smiley face on it’s plastrum with the two black dots and the little dark line just below them.
All those cute toadlettes! I can’t believe how many there were in that one small area! Nature is so incredible if you just take the time to appreciate it.
Thanks for the video Emily and Ed. You two need to get one of those portable emergency power sources as a backup for when you forget to charge your phones lol. You can get some pretty decent ones for pretty cheap and that way you’ll not miss out on a great filming opportunity because of a dead battery. ☺️💕
I also saw the smile and was half expecting them to say something about it
I’d guess that first toad is a fowlers toad. I have a pet fowlers toad that has more distinct crests and the 3 warts per spot is not 100% a rule, but a ‘most of the time’ type of a rule that they have 3 per on most sections but 1 or 2 per in some places. The crests can be prominent in all species but they are different shapes, they don’t all line up with the paranoid glands in the same way. I had a diagram from college but have lost it sadly! We have all these same species in Alabama where I’m from
It a hybrid
Awe! I'm in south east NC. So about 3 hours from there. I loved watching y'all react to the green tree frogs! That's probably something we take for granted down here sometimes. Even the baby yellow belly! I used to have one as a kid.
Much love from the Carolina's!! ♥️♥️♥️
When I lived in Georgia, we had green and grey tree frogs everywhere. There were Fowler's and American toads, but only in the wooded areas. Bull frogs and pig frogs were the ones you heard, but rarely saw.
The green tree frog noises are so goofy and cute, it sort of sounds like they're singing
In New Orleans, right now it's super rainy season, so there are lots of little frogs/toads hopping around the French Quarter. They look like the toadlets you found. They are tiny: about the size of a quarter, dark, and super cute.
The baby turtle has a smile face on the bottom of its shell
We had a huge toad that lived in the grass at the back entrance of my dorm building in college. I loved him he was all fat and adorable! His name was salvyster .
Hello Kaylee, how're you doing today??
When they got comfy on your hand😭that made me wanna cry that was the cutest thing ever
The frogs are so cute!
That's awesome, my hubby and I live just up in Myrtle Beach, we spend alot of time down in Charleston as hevis a cancer patient at MUSC. So cool to see y'all in our area
Grew up in the Upstate of SC. Just about every evening we would go out looking for frogs and toads. In our area we basically only had the Fowler toad or a hybrid of the Fowler and Southern
if you stop for a moment to listen the sounds of nature are amazing
OH MY! I go to school at CSU. So exciting to see you at the beautiful campus!
How cool would it have been if you had gotten to meet them there? I'm assuming you didn't meet them.
@@ThePhoenixUnderwater unfortunately not, I saw this video when it posted and then realized that they were in my area! Hopefully one day I can go up to their facility and meet them there!
@@makenziesmith6909 yea, I want to meet them so bad!!! Maybe I'll meet you when I meet them!!!
I grew up in SC! You could definitely do a whole miniseries about our native wildlife. They are mostly easy to catch and find. I'd love to see more about Southern and desert species 💚
Those frogs 🐸 are amazing
S.C your in my stomping grounds. Charleston is a nice but crowded place. We've had a lot of rain lately sounds like a symphony around my house at night. Love it and I love you guys! As always thanks for taking us along for the ride!
You 2 running around campus at night hunting frogs and toads is so adorable :)
NO WAY!!!! You guys are literally right in my home town!!!!! Welcome!!!! You guys are probably gone by the time of posting but still this is awesome, I see these locations weekly!
Fun fact: I recently found Brown Anoles in Ladson just a few miles away last month.
"Emily is in South Carolina, redefining bravery
We'll never be free until we go herping"
Had to make that Hamilton reference when the word "South Carolina" was said
Love all the lil frogs!! Their calls were so loud and so soothing :)
Oh, for the question at the end "can blind people see their dreams?" There is a known answer for that - They cannot! If they were born blind. If they went blind later, the visual part of dreams will be present, but decrease with age. Like memories, ya know?
I’m currently caring for a gray tree frog, he’s surprisingly easy to handle.
His name is Houdini, and since I’m not tong feeding he can be released back into the wild.
Tong feeding isn't why you shouldn't release a frog you have been keeping
Dont release your pet in the wild, you can be fined for that over 1,000s of dollars. You could also destroy the ecosystem of your area.
Just because you didn’t ting feed him doesn’t mean you can release him? Never release pets into the wild ever. Not only for the fines and the ecosystem and the pet itself is just gonna die
@@reptilelover5046 they didn’t say it was a pet. It could have been injured and they rescued it with intent to release it.
@@krysaboyce5353 ah, ok makes sense
There are a lot of frogs~ awesome~
Thank you for sharing this video~👍
I love turtles… so much that i got a hermanns tortoise. Would love to see more of the turtles and tortoises of your channel. Me and Noki (my tortoise) say hello from Florida.
This film was an absolute delight. Thank you for sharing!
I love all the frogs!!!!! They are so cute I love them! Also when is the next snake discovery shenanigans coming?
Emily recently said it would be soon, but idk exactly when. I'm wondering when she's going to talk about her nose surgery. She said she would. I'm curious about it because I care about her as a person. I'm sure all her fans do though. I love ALL her videos. The fact that she is willing to share just about anything about her life, that isn't deeply personal makes me love her even more. She's such an open book and I love it. It makes it feel more as that she's a friend, and not just some person on the Internet.
During the summer, especially mid to late summer, when it's hot and super humid (with frequent thunderstorms), you can find reptiles and amphibians EVERYWHERE in the Carolinas. I love falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs during the summer.
I love these types of videos! You guys are the best TH-camrs ever! I want to get a reptile but my mom and dad won’t let me
Loved learning about the different toads and seeing a yellow belly slider!!! Tree frogs never get old either. ❤
Hope you guys are enjoying South Carolina! (From a South Carolinian)
A frog moved into my mini pond, sometime this week. We're not friends yet, but it trusted me more today than it did yesterday.
This is the kind of thing I would do at college 😂
So, I used to live about 5 miles from that college and I kept a few plants under a light outside of the garage. I kept the light on at night and I probably had 20 to 30 green tree frogs living on that shrub and they had an easy meal at night! Love your content!
After awhile the frog calls started to sound like a rubber chicken 😆
I just wanted to say that i LOVE your herping videos! I love learning more about reptiles, but it's a special kind of cool when you encounter them in the wild!!
You are awesome 😎
When Emily said "oh look the green tree frogs are making more green tree frogs!" Made me laugh crazy
I had the same frogs (green tree frogs) in my last apartment complex. They were so loud 😂😂 I never really saw them out and about and didn’t try catching any. We also had koi and a ton of turtles in the ponds in front of my building. Very few predators except random birds that would swallow the koi whole 😬😬😬😬
It was so adorable to see Emily freaking out over all the baby toads. In Ga we find tbem all summer. My childhood summers were spend looking for toads
Also when is a baby video I can’t wait for baby belelelel's! also that’s the most adorable southern toad!
The sound the green frogs make is making me lose it🤣 ‘memeep memeep memeep’
So my top 2 favorite frogs are Milk Tree Frogs and Green Tree Frogs and one is native to my area and it is the Green Tree Frog's so if I were to have a pet frog it would be 1 of the 2 but most likely Green Tree Frogs since they are kept as pets. I really just want to work with animals in general so yeah- I am autistic and animals are one of my special interests :>
I’m autistic too and animals are one of my special interests too! The other night I adopted a slug and made a little habitat for him outside. I left it open in case he wanted to return to the wild and he did. I have a lot of pets and want even more 😂 including a hognose snake.
@@PhoenixRoseYT :0 I sadly can't keep any pets yet but I am doing research on the ones I really want like frogs, snakes, jumping spiders, rats, and a few others. I do love insects just I am a tiny bit scared of them though-
The toad just looked so helpless when Emily was flipping it around. I couldn’t stop giggling.
woooooo herping let’s go!!!
I love when you two go herping! 💚💚💚💚
Only thing I found in college was debt 😬😂
I can happily say yesterday I got to hold ally’s cousin tegus are so cool it was such a cool experience
The last fee days of school last school year i found a hatchling River Cooter on top of its head, shell vertical, right outside the school door. I’m pretty sure someone put it like that but i took it in and gave it to a person i knew well who had a friend looking for a turtle for their pond. I was shown a video of him settling in :)
I didn’t return it to the wild as it may have been on its head for a long time an there was no way to tell if it had sustained any trauma or neurological issues due to it, and I was afraid that it would meet a more unfortunate end if a crueller person found it after :(
Just before that a person killed a toad i had found after i released it back. He came up to show us the injured toad and I took it back home but it was too badly injured to save. It held on for a few hours, and I hope it was at peace that it was in a safe and warm home when it passed.
I love watching herping videos, so many cool animals that are native and common in different areas.
The toadlets remind me of the baby frogs we have every year. This year we had hundreds that cling onto the side of the pond and then over a few days they make their way 3 or 4 metres to the hedge. We have to be careful where we tread when that’s happening and don’t cut the lawn when they start to lose their tadpole tails.
Hi
Hi
Hi
Hi
I love the little smiley face on the turtle's belly. I hope he's still happy!
I wish I knew that y'all were here in Charleston sooner. My husband actually used to work for security for CSU a few years ago and he even in fact had to rescue an adult water moccasin or copperhead (I can't remember which one) one time. He even saw the campus' alligator a few times there. Enjoy y'all's time here and be safe going back home.
When Emily was talking about the yellow belly slider, the background sounded like in a video game. So cute. 😂
you have no idea how much I love to catch and relocate (from road to very safe grass) the toads and frogs at my job, its so awesome!!!
The sounds from the green tree frogs are perfect
I lived in SC and you could definitely hear all the different toads and frogs screaming. I went to Coastal Carolina where we had a pond specifically named Turtle Pond because of how many turtles you could see in it. So many sizes and breeds
What a dose of melancholia.🐸 We used to raise bullfrogs in our backyard pond. This was before computers and cell phones when we actually spent time outside!🚲
