I lost it when you just let yourself get bitten by a centipede (twice) and still decided to hold it, yet you seemed much more hesitant to pick up the gopher snakes
I’d take a bite from a non venomous colubrid over a centipede any day lol
I practice not getting bitten by any snakes that I handle regardless of the species. This later becomes helpful when handling non-lethal venomous snakes (Malpolon, Oxybelis, Trimorphodon, etc.) because a lot of them are pretty sketchy. Meanwhile, with centipedes across the world, it’s easy to know what you’re in for.
@@GeneralApathy, I grew up in Monterey, catching gopher snakes, California kingsnakes, striped racers, yellow-bellied racers, garter snakes, ringnecks, sharptails, etc... I've been bitten by gopher snakes, garter snakes, and racers innumerable times. I've never had a sharptail, ringneck, or kingsnake even attempt to bite me. I guess if you travel to other parts of the world where you have snakes that are somewhere in between harmless and deadly, or just venomous enough to cause some kind of reaction, it makes sense to learn to avoid snakebite, even by the ones you know are harmless, but for me trying to avoid being bitten would have meant modifying my behavior in a way that doesn't really help me engage with the animal. I mean, letting them bite me, when it's not easily avoided, is my way of telling the snakes, "It doesn't affect me so chill out -- I'm not a threat anyway."
As for centipedes and arthropods generally, they've always struck me as creepy and potentially venomous, so I generally avoid interacting with them. I just notice them, and look at them briefly. That's about it.
@@GeneralApathyAre there any centipedes outside of East Asia with medically significant venom? 🤔 (Like could hospitalize/be fatal to someone)
Also why did you say you _have to_ pick up any centipedes under the rocks you flipped? It seemed they were mostly buried/partially buried i.e. if you just rolled the rocks on their side without moving them and _gently_ rolled them exactly back in place, then there shouldn't be any risk of smooshing the centipedes 🤔
@@Darhan62 Good points. The Ringneck is venomous but oh so slight. Not harmful to humans. Not sure how that small mouth to bite a human anyway.
HAHAHA THE CUT FROM THE GOPHER SNAKE BEING SO ANGRY TO BEING HELD UP LOOSELY LOOKS SO FUNNY IM DYING 😆
The bigger snake hissing at you almost gave me a heart attack. Idk I’ve watched so many of your videos and frankly they’re pretty calm so that just caught me off guard lol!
Today I found an eastern ringneck snake, 3 northern red belly snakes, 6 maritime garter snakes, and 2 eastern smooth green snakes. Sadly a lot of people here are not snake friendly. My uncle drinks a lot and smokes. So he says he's killed a few but he also says he's caught a few and put them in buckets and threw them back outside. So at least he doesn't kill them if he knows to do better.
It brought me a lot of happiness when you changed “mean” to “defensive” I appreciate that respect. That gophers hiss was really funny to me for some reason and the cut from it being really defensive to just chill in your hand was hilarious
Gopher snakes are sweet, we have quite a few on my property, I even caught one to keep as a pet but it escaped in the house and was never seen again; though I'm sure it made it's way back outside, probably the same way the field mice get in.
I'd go out flipping rocks to find snakes, but we have a ton of rattlesnakes in our area(they always seem to be really feisty) and the closest hospital is 40+ minutes away; dying is not on my list of priorities at the moment
That was a mildly humorous cut from the large snake being panicked by your presence to the snake just submitting to your presence.
Coastal northern/central California here and found a ring neck in my yard. So nice to see my local wildlife. I had no idea we had blue tiger centipedes. Just starting to get really interested in arthropods. Thanks so much for this video!
Nice video! With a genuine jumpscare in it :P
The baby Ringneck has stunning colors. First time I ever saw this kind. Thanks
Nice vid! I actually used to flip over rocks and find critters (in the garden) all the time lol. Then my parents would get angry😅
Many species I usually encounter showed up!
Nice video. I also noticed there was some tall grass in the video. Did you encounter any ticks while being out there?
Just a single Dog Tick crawling on my pants. I did not spare its life.
@@GeneralApathy everyone hates these things even you xD
4:28 I just love how curly it is.
I am so happy that I found your videos man , I love your knowledge on different species and how you just pick stuff lol
Snake: Threat detected!
Also snake: oh wait, it's just active terrain, I'll continue with my day
This was a fun watch, Looking forward to the next part!
7:13 I was holding a gopher snake exactly like this about 20 years ago, and it slowly wrapped back up and bit me directly on my nose😂 seen them out here over 5 feet long
Down here in the southeast US (central Georgia) you have to keep a hook pole to flip logs while herping.
I'd say a solid 70% of the snakes you find under a log here are venomous.
If it's a rattlesnake, you're fine, they'll run first every time. Copperheads are a little tricky in that it's a 50/50 chance it feels like, whether they run away from you or chase you for a few yards.
Shoot some footage, CrabmanSteve, show us what it's like traipsing around your neck of the woods:)🐍🦎🐢🐊🦆🕷🦐🦀
exactly. I’m totally fascinated by the south I’ve only been to TX and LA briefly
6:37 most Jerusalem, crickets I’ve encountered on the central coast are very aggravated
Bro is a walking antidote
I’ve found Jerusalem, crickets in Nipomo, California of the central coast, measuring up to 3.5 inches
It’s Amazing Northern California has the same snake species as British Columbia Canada including the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake
wow that goofer snake at 7: 0 0 0 scared the heck out of me. lol I did not know they could do
Holy Moses, those grassy fields absolutely _destroyed_ TH-cam's compression algorithm, we were playing on low graphics settings for a second there.
3:35 that skink just threw himself like a boomerang lol
I am getting a centipede soon! Great video!
Do you have an EpiPen in case you unexpectedly develop an allergy to any of these various venomous friends? I'd at least bring some Benadryl with
seems like a good idea
very good videos
Love your channel!
Thank you. :D
You’re fearless dude- and for some reason don’t mind getting “envenomated”(my new vocabulary word of the day)👀😬 great vid tho
That gopher snake probably found some dinner under that new rock too.
Nice video, I'm still looking for brachycybe
Which part of Northern California is this? I lived in San Mateo and used to see Gartner and Gopher snakes. Different type lizards and tarantulas from time to time. San Mateo Coyote Point by the power station.
I love your videos 😍
Thank you. :D
Where in northern California is this? I happen to live in Nor Cal.
I didn't even know half of these creature were in this state. Time to go outside more often.
I’ve never seen someone who chases and grabs venomous animal in the wild
is that T. torosa or T. granulosa bc you said rough skinned newt in the video? T. torosa doesn't go very far into proper norcal compared to T. granulosa and the ones you found do look pretty rough. my assumption is that the height of their eyes gave it away? since T. granulosa typically has a flatter head with lower eyes
Are u in the hills of Mt Allison in Milpitas and Fremont😎
Kinda looks like you're somewhere near Ferndale or Petrolia? Great footage
I hate picking up animals not because I’m scared of them but because I’m scared for them. I always worry that I’m going to be too rough and hurt them. Luckily I don’t have to pick up too many creatures except toads and the occasional gecko. Both of which will either run or jump right into my hands so I don’t actually have to grab and potentially hurt them.
day 2 of asking you what county that is
hello bro how you doing?
Doing well, thank you. :D
What were those at the end of the video?
Good video but put those rocks back correctly mate!
I live in the Bay Area, can I find those here?
I believe some / most of these you would be able to find, although I'm not sure of the specific ranges they inhabit.
From the animals mentioned in the video, I've caught the ringneck snakes, slender salamanders, gopher snakes, newts, and jerusalem crickets (a different species) here.
Hey, do you know exactly where this location is? I'd love to come out there while I'm in the bay area and herp just can't find a good location.
there’s millions of acres that look just like this all over norcal you won’t be disappointed
why snakes not try to bite u ?
Where exactly are we? I hope it's not wine country. Really don't like bugs, lol, but subbed
wine country is packed w theee exact critters
You shouldn't be afraid to be bit by a gopher snake because they don't hurt to bad
i usually go to a courthouse to find snakes in cali
