i’m not scared of snakes but there’s still something so comedic about footage where you lift up a rock, see a snake, and go, “Oh nice!” and immediately grab it. 3:47 is my favorite.

You are truly built different. No way I could handle insects like the way you do

[submarinesailor]

I love snakes.

I'm also usually horrified by spiders but you managed to make me interested and able to watch you handle tarantulas in another video.

I think it's your calm disposition.

Thanks!

As a Tucson native and resident, the wildlife and terrain we get here is quite amazing. Really nice to see you cover some of it and i look forwards to more Arizonan content

This is my favourite snake! I found a banded morph near where I live, and they are uncommon here. Super beautiful and cute little guys.

I guess I'm a "flipper". Ever since I found my first lizard, under a piece of wood 50 years ago, I still have to flip rocks, wood, etc.
I love your videos. So entertaining and informative.

[herpinghectic]

It’s crazy how in some areas these guys are considered “uncommon”. I found 7 in an hour here in SW Utah

[RonosOG]

I really like the addition of b-roll shots. Great and informative video as always

Thank you for sharing your finds. It's nice to see your channel almost reaching 200, 000 subscribers, it is very well deserved. :)

Your editing is becoming remarkably good. Your channel is my favorite wildlife channel on YouTube. You’re an amazing instructor and I appreciate all the little things you do which don’t get remarked upon or noticed. Thank you

Found this channel from the velvet worm video a few days ago and was instantly hooked. Love the information and the presentation.

[Ironfeathers]

The first snake in the video looks as if they were painted via watercolor--what a glorious little beast. (side note: I love watching centipedes groom their antennae)

[overstargaming]

Here’s something I bet you didn’t know! Banded geckos and stripe tails Cohab in the wild! Yep that’s right! What you saw isn’t super rare but it isn’t common either. I actually keep the gecko and stripe tail together in one of my enclosures and they have not once harmed each other, they more or less benefit with eachother kind of in the same way tarantulas and frogs do.

Finally a good channel that popped up to my recommendations. Love your videos, keep up the great work.

It's really amazing to see you posting videos again, I really love your videos!

P.S: Still waiting for Giant river harvestmen part 2!

[kyleforbes]

Fantastic video! I really like how you explained some of the technical terms in more common language.

[adventureswithdan]

These stripy snakes look so beautiful.

[CPoblvn]

I love you videos, they make feel like I'm actually learning while being entertaining. Keep up the good work

[captainvicky]

Its so amazing those snakes can develop such a beautiful pattern and color

[idiotnepty]

This channel is so cool!
Not many channels at all do this, thank you so much for doing such unique content.
