    Good watching you guys flip tin. I’m in Australia and flipping tin here is much different. I’m amazed at how docile those snakes you found were except the 2. In Australia snakes are fast, aggressive and active. They are either slithering off at great speed or standing up in an s shape ready to strike or actually strike. The heat downunder means the snakes are full of energy to burn. If you ever come to Australia, be much more careful flipping tin here. That’ll give you an adrenaline rush or death here. Good luck herps

      @@charlescourtwright2229 most snakes don’t want anything to do with people. Taipans and eastern brown snakes (both highly venomous and use up to 80% of their body to strike) will attack rather than flee. Any snake in Australia if feeling threatened will defend themselves. While I haven’t had anything to with inland taipans, I’ve been told that they aren’t as aggressive by a large margin in comparison to a coastal taipan. I’ve dealt with a few taipans but mostly eastern brown snakes and they will go you. What I can tell you for sure is that they wouldn’t sit there like a copperhead in that video.

    When I was a kid I went to a church camp in NC. One morning we all hiked up the mountain to watch the sunrise. So we made the hike and sat at the top of the mountain in some rocks waiting for the sun to come up. Once it finally came up and we could see I noticed where I’d been sitting for the last hour there were two copperheads coiled up about a foot behind me. If I had relaxed back and put my hands behind me I would definitely have put my hands on one or both of them. Somehow I didn’t get bit.

    • @goldenhate6649

      They were relying on their camo. Since you didn't seem to see them, they were content to sit there until you moved on. Snakes recognize eye contact as predator behavoir. Though they definitely would have bit had you touched them. Though they are somewhat known for dry bites, their saliva still stings as venom is just concentrated saliva.

    Flipping tin is an old South Carolina tradition. For many it was a extra means of income as some of the medical facilities would pay for the venomous snakes to help with the development of anti venoms. A lot of the old tin is from where hurricane Hugo tore through the state back in 89.

When I was a kid in the ‘60s around Mobile, Alabama, we used to find tons of harmless green snakes. They were beautiful emerald green about the color of the tree frog you highlighted.

    I grew up in the state of Utah and my grandfather is the reason I love many animals. He would occasionally take me up in the mountains to look for snakes from gophers to rattlers, ideally we were looking for a ringneck snake that was found in that area years ago but yet to be confirmed. Unfortunately many shooters had gone to that area where we called the den as there was an abandoned mine for all the snakes to go and hibernate in. After many wildfires and horrible things happening in that mountain range it was bought by the government and going to shoot there was highly illegal now. I really miss the den as I was responsible for finding MANY snakes, I even found a whip snake one time that both my grandfather and I hypothesized that it had escaped from the talons of a bird of prey with it's large scar across it's neck towards the head. But I'm glad that area is protected now as had there of been more wildfires it would of threatened countless homes. We were recently thinking of asking for permission to go on the property but never got a chance to because I had just moved to Minnesota in the last week.
    I'm going to miss all the racers, gophers, rattlers and whatnot.

    Superb video upload. Fascinated about those harmless snakes you came across. I guess it pays to know your snakes when handling them since some have a tendency to resemble others with a view to be perceived to be a greater threat. The harmless snakes certainly appeared far more agitated than the venomous ones. Enjoyable and entertaining throughout.

      Snakes have different personalities, so there are going to be fiesty and some calm. Notice it took big momma canebrakes longer to get agitated than it some of the younger ones. Also venom is hard for snakes to make and as we are not food (and they know it), they prefer to flee over fight. This is generally the truth for most snakes, but yes, there are certain species that can be notorious for being grumpy and/or darty in the non-venomous sphere.

    Questions: Are you leaving these tins everywhere, then going back to them? If not, how do you know where to go? And who are the slobs leaving all this stuff just laying arouond? Love the snakes though.

    growing up in Ct, I had few encounters with snakes, mostly garters , decay browns . one black racer, no danger...I would like to share a story about the lovely lady I dated some 15 years ago. She grew up in Rural Brasil.No electricity until she was almost 20...She told me many stories about her childhood involving many very dangerous lethal snakes that were part of daily life. I can't verify the particular breeds, however she told me Cobra was portugese for snake. Whenever her peeps would go into the uncleared brush even on horseback they wore thigh high leather snake boots. She never mentioned a human snake fatality ,I would imagine it was just part of life avoiding this lethal hazard for everybody .However she did mention her family German Shepard dying with minutes of being bit by a "cobra" and several horses dead in an hour. The most amazing part of her childhood in my opinion was about "who"s turn it was to go kill a cobra" with a fucking shovel when the chickens would go batshit when a snake came into the cleared home area. Her name is Nicelia , and she is the greatest relationship regret in my lifetime. Cobra stories aside. Any of you snake enthusiasts know what breed she may have been decapitating with a shovel as a child?

    Great video guys, and i appreciate that you film these snakes without antagonizing or disturbing them too much.
    I've watched some videos of some jerks who intentionally antagonize venomous snakes and a few of them have gotten bit by doing so.
    And as far as I'm concerned, i have no sympathy for them, they got exactly what they deserved.

    The Black Snakes we have by me in the Georgia mountains Kill the Copperheads and Rattlesnakes. I've seen them vertically climb trees to get to birds and squirrels. Fast as hell. Catch a Copperhead or Rattlesnake really quick. In the summer heat you see them crossing the roads all the time. When they see people they take off fast.

    old aussie myself nice to see people showing the types of snake and not just killing them. love snakes myself and know most times they see you and go their own way most times. even with you flipping their homes they are looking to not be there, their not biting at you or chasing you down. some here will attack and chase you but normally you have to do something to them first before they get that pissed off at you

    So many copperheads they multiply so fast. That’s why I I fear them the most. They blend in so well and won’t move unless your on them or a hair away. But by that time they will bite you in defense.
