I Found a Pond INFESTED with Deadly Snakes!

In today’s video, I find DEADLY snakes infested in my backyard pond! Due to the cold weather, tons of snakes have invaded my ponds, forcing me to catch them out before they eat all of my pet fish including my redtail catfish, oscar’s, cichlids, eels, koi, albino alien fish, pacu, AND MORE! I used traps, nets, and my hands to wrangle out these snakes… While netting I ended up catching a snake, but there was still a lot more in there! But they were too fast so I had to drain my entire pond in order to get them all out! After draining the pond and catching all my fish out we were able to remove all of the snakes, but what we didn’t know was that the snakes also invaded all of my other ponds including my crawfish pond and the mystery pond! So it was a mission to find and catch them all out before it’s too late! We also fed my monster fish and my $1,000 rare platinum redtail catfish before finding the last snake, which ended up being the most aggressive and ended up biting me! We relocated all the snakes and put my fish back into their ponds where they are now safe! Should we do a part 2 removing snakes from my ponds?

I can’t believe all the snakes we found in my ponds! Leave a like if we should do a part 2 removing more out!

Bobby, you should trim the plants around the pond because snakes like to hide in bushy plants. Love your videos, part 2 definitely. Keep up the amazing work!!

I think that some viewers forget the maintenance and care you have to put into what you bring home. Great work keeping your fish safe.

Bobby!! Please learn to identify the snakes. Snake bites are no joke. Helen, you should learn . Aren’t there scent deterrents you can place around your ponds that might help keeping them away? Stay safe and keep them videos coming 🫶🏻

I am 72 yo female. We deal with 6 ft + (grand daddy) rattlesnakes in south Texas. A quality pistol grip snake catcher is a must have tool. Don't settle for a cheap light weight one. I would not trust a snake hook alone for your snake wrangler efforts. You did good, Bobby. Of course, your videographer was splendid as always 😁

[lesleymolia]

that was INSANE couldn't believe you were in there with no shoes and just grabbing them made me shriek every time - entertaining as hell thanks Bobby

We need chandler and Tyler to teach this kid how to handle snakes

Welcome back Bobby! We have missed you ❤️

I will do a fish ID list for today’s episode in the morning, it’s 12:30 am here in Australia so I will probably just watch the video on its own for now. SPEAKING OF Bobby, have another look at the one I made last video, that Eel you caught is much more special than you might think! 😉

EDIT: Looks like I won’t even need to do an ID list cause we’re not catching anything new, but I will at least give you guys some edit on the snakes we have been finding.

These guys are Banded Water Snakes (Nerodia fasciata), they are a non-venomous cloubrid snake that hunts not by venom or by constriction but by straight brute force, they usually patiently wait for prey to cruise by, where they will bite their prey and quickly overpower it and swallow it whole (once again, with no venom! Which is probably what happened to that poor bicher, likely didn’t get swallowed because of the spines), they typically feed on a variety of aquatic prey such as fish, turtles, lizards and frogs but will likely eat small birds and mammals too if given opportunity. They are also typically quite passive, choosing flight rather than fight.

However, as some of you may have noticed they look terribly similar to Cottonmouth snakes (also known as water moccasins) which are HIGHLY venomous, so it is very, very important to tell which is which.

Firstly, cottonmouths typically don’t have as defined patterns as banded water snakes do, and typically appear as almost a solid colour with faint patches of patterning. Their heads are also very sharp and angular almost arrow shaped VS the banded water snake’s much more rounded, almost capsicum/bell pepper shaped head. Cottonmouths also have a very iconic threat posture, they don’t typically run instead opting to curl up, and open their mouth showing off their pure white mouth, crunching their fangs and hissing (hence the name).

I really hope all this info is really helpful to you in the future Bobby, because I don’t want you handling any cottonmouths by accident and getting tagged, it is not a pleasant experience! Ultimately though, if you can’t tell the difference by eye, it’d be better to not change it, don’t wanna risks a trip to the hospital! Luckily, I don’t think you’ve run into a Cottonmouth in a video before (at least not since I’ve started watching) as they tend to avoid completely aquatic environments as they’re not as well adapted to them as banded water snakes (be noted though, they still do prefer water to not water so you can never be too careful).

This is your best agility video😂 Those snakes gave you the power of agility. You ran so fast!

[mickeykyrle]

Bobby maybe a good idea to put a netting over the top of your ponds to prevent snakes getting in them. Also maybe a good idea to put some red tail catfish in every pond so if a small snake goes in it'll find the guard fish.
Basic system of a wooden frame and netting to go over the top of the ponds. Don't forget to weigh the wooden frame down as an added precaution. The wooden frame can be lifted up for feeding and adding new fish whilst protecting your current fish at the same time.

It was so funny when he threw it, and it kept going everywhere lol love your videos Bobby

[logangoodrich]

I love this wow you had so many snakes in your ponds, that’s crazy

[CarlKeeling]

Bruce is the epitomy of F around and find out to all snakes that go into his pond 😆.

[nettypets]

Bobby you are so brave catching the snakes and it shows how much you love your fish... Nanette from Australia 🇦🇺

[cherylboehme]

I love your vibes and you should put a fence around your pond

[leesaneyman]

BOBBY!! So glad to see you😁😁. I loved seeing this video. I love it when you clean out your ponds. Especially when I recognize some of them. I loved seeing your mom react to the snakes. I see where you get your reactions from😂😂. I really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the next. I can never predict what your coming up with next.

[stevenbaker]

As a snake lover you are doing what normal none snake lovers do, so don't be ashamed. Have a nice day.😊

[elyse]

The fact that bobby is very much enjoying catching fish out the pond but went he has a snake he will either throw it or drop it and run for his life😂(But Bobby your amazing for facing your fears🥳)

[Gyj-sl]

I love all the videos about you saving, moving, and caring for your fish. Make whatever video you want, just be careful. Don't like seeing you get hurt, but have fun😊
