Snakes of the USA, 5 species from the Trans-Pecos region in Texas, Gray-banded kingsnake, copperhead

Many interesting snakes live in the USA! Some of them are venomous, but most species are non-venomous. This time we will visit a particular region in Texas, called the Trans-Pecos. You will see some rare and secretive snakes which inhabit this spectacular ecoregion. The Trans-Pecos rat snake, the Gray-banded kingsnake and the Broad-banded copperhead are especially beautiful! In each episode of this series you will see 5 species.

Thanks for my fave herp channel. The absence of hyperbolic voice over and annoying excessively dramatic sound tracks is a welcome gift. And of course the well composed and rendered photography makes for a beautifully palatable presentation.

As an American, I LOVE the educational content this provides! Straightforward, to-the-point footage that's also fun, and I couldn't ask for anything better than the positive message about respecting wildlife! Excellent videos! I can't wait for the next one!🦅🇺🇲🐍❤️

So many beautiful and not-so-easy-to-find species. I can’t decide which is my favorite. I’m from Southern California and would love someday to see a video on the snake species here. Keep up the good work, I love your videos; so beautifully filmed.

That Trans-Pecos rat snake looks and moves a lot like a python, that's really interesting. Usually a 'rat snake' to me is an active and energetic mover.

5 very beautiful species! 😃 Difficult to choose a favorite... Love big ratsnakes, Alterna and Copperheads are so cool looking, and these Tantillas are real badass for their small size 🤘

Did not know there were copperheads that far West. Anyway, another great video and welcome to America team:)

[Bryan-csto]

I love how the Copperheads in a different part of Texas look so different from the ones by my house, I've never seen a Broad Banded Copperhead w/ that dark of markings. All the ones in my area are much lighter including the Southern Copperheads. Love the channel!

I lived and worked around El Paso for about a year. I have seen so many black-tailed rattle snakes while there that it seemed as though it was the only type of snake in the area. It is nice to see something on these lesser known snake species that are as interesting as anything I have ever seen. They just play an important role in the ecosystem without drawing attention to themselves. Hopefully they will be around to grace far west Texas for thousands of years to come.

I'm always glad to see a video on American snakes even though I'm mostly interested in venomous snakes from other countries. All the snakes in this video are beautiful. The Trans-Pecos Black-Headed Snake looks like an Inland Taipan 😅😂

[Freakskpp]

[fabizabo]

Thank you! As always, your videos are a pleasure to watch.

I've always liked the gray-banded king snake. The Trans-Pecos rat snake is impressive, too.
Videos like this make me wish I could join your team for one of your adventures.

Beautiful specimens you found and filmed !

[alungiggs]

I love seeing unusual American snakes. You have some beautiful non-venomous species. Thank you

[snakehype]

I have lived in this area all my life and have only heard of the broad banded Copperhead. Thanks for the info!!!

Looking forward to the next episode. It was again a beautiful and interesting video. The copperhead is just so pretty, but looks so mean. It is probably a good thing. 😅

[ECC-ec]

what no horned rattlesnake the sidewinder the fastest snake in the and great videos by the way

[Godless-Being]

Helpful tip: if you see a rattle on a snake go far far away and make sure that snake doesn’t follow you in the process

Their size on camera look way longer than their given max length
