Finding a Corn Snake in the WILD! 

Emily herping, carrying a snake hook, being responsible. Emily, seeing nonvenomous species: YEETS hook.

The corn snake was more aggressive than the water moccasin 😂

The way Emily and Ed run up to wild snakes and just start baby-talking and cooing at them makes me feel so warm and happy :D

I just realized this is probably what a “typical date” looks like for them. It’s kinda really wholesome??!?

It's a shame so many get hit by cars. Alberta found a solution for this, by covering the road in a rough texture, snakes have more traction to cross, and there's less heat on the road so they're not coaxed into warming up on it. Thought you might found this interesting!

Black-crowned night herons always look like they're at their friend's house and their friend's parents are arguing.

literally no one: emily baby talking to wild snakes: “AWH LOOK AT YOU YOURE SUCH A CUTIE”

“this is how corns and rat snakes are supposed to look” me, staring at my 3 cornsnakes: uh oh someone’s got diabetus (they’re not FAT but compared to this they are)

By the way stick snakes are very rare and you shouldn’t have passed it. This was paid for by the stick snakes

The way you say "OH HES SO MAD!" is the same voice my husband and I use with our cats when they get grumpy 🤣

"Tomorrow is Christmas" Geez, 2021 passed by real fast.

when they said yellow rat at the start I thought they actually found a yellow rat 😂

When I first saw the title I thought it said “Filling a snake with corn in the WILD!”

That’s gotta be the best way to spend Christmas Eve

Emily in the span of half a second: IS THAT A-nooooo... thats not a water mocas- come ere'! *immediately grabs it with reckless abandon and gets bit*

Confused on how Emily and Ed found snakes in the middle of a Midwest winter “we are in south Flordia”- Emily. Welp that explains everything

I genuinely forget that snakes are so common in some areas that you can just go out and find one on a road :')

I loved the info on the cottonmouth. I lived in Florida for a lot of years and have heard so many scary stories about them. How they will chase on land or in the water. They'll swim at you from across the water to attack you in your boat. Scary stuff! Nice to know the truth.

I love that you used "derp" as a characteristics of a watersnake. I had someone contact me over a few snakes during the summer so I was giving them pointers on telling the difference and watersnakes looking more "derpy" was actually one of my descriptions 😅. (For the record I also emphasized that they should NEVER approach a snake that they weren't 100% sure of and that it's best to just observe wild snakes unless you have experience with them)

Corn snake: *twitches* Me: "He's just a little different..."

Emily's response to how pretty the yellow rat snake looks and I'm replaying the late great Steven Erwin in my head "crikey he's beauuuuuuutiful! Just gorgeous." Emily- Snake hunter.

Title: finding a corn snake in the wild. Also them: finds a venomous snake in the wild and they didn't put that as the title.

Emily... swear on my heart. While nobody can truly replace such a wonderful man, you are going to be THE next Steve Irwin-level idol. Keep at it, keep doing what you do, and keep loving life.

I just love how enthusiastic Emily and Ed are, even when finding "just" a corn snake. And the information they can share us amazing.

Alternatively title: cute snakes made out of corn

8:40 - that's a Yellow-crowned Night Heron! Note the, well, yellow crown, light cheek patch and black chin.

Omg, Ed's father was so wholesome.

Alternative title : Emily and Ed finding ekans before Christmas, in the middle of the night

Joke: Why Do Snakes have So Many Scales? Because they're Paranoid about their weight.

How is everyone today? So excited for the facility!

Love how the yellow rat snake is just like “oh blelele hi fren”😂

Ed's dad Is rocking that purple/pink hair. I am impressed.

me seeing the title forgetting that corn snakes exist in the wild: huh👁👄👁

I loved seeing the corn snake, I know they are “boring” but I have a pet corn snake just like so many others and it’s nice to see there wild cousins. Mine is just as squiggly as that one as well 😂

Your respect and enthusiasm for the animals you found remind me of when I used to watch Steve Irwin as a kid and I love it.

Ed's dad seems like a such a good sport. Always eager to be a part of the action lol. What a neat guy.

That Yellow Rat Snake was a beauty! The yellow is very synthetic looking. She looks awesome!

Imagine how far along the facility is right now if they are pre filming all of this jeeeezzz

I don’t know if I’ll ever get over the fear of water moccasins that’s been instilled in me as a Floridian but I probably won’t immediately run at the sight of any dark snake anymore lmao

I was very glad to hear the info about the cotton mouth. I've lived in Florida my whole life, so naturally I've seen a lot of people kill these out of fear. I was able to show this to my family members, and they all were able to see how reluctant they are to hurt you, and it really made them rethink killing them, so thank you for that

"Tomorrows Christmas!" Me: well this is late I dont mind it being late thought it would be funny! Sorry if its offensive Btw nice hair Emily, Ed, and Ed's dad!

I'm happy I kinda get to liveout my herping dreams through you guys... In Sweden, we have 3 species of snakes. That's it. And one of them is really rare and only found in the most southern part of the country. So basically there is just two. As a little kid, I would actually cry over how unfair I thougth that was. x'D So thank you, for letting us live vicariously through you! 😂

Love Emily's enthusiasm. She has an infectious personality. Makes everyone around her happy. 😊

The yellow rat snake is probably like Bro tf is going on,I just wanted to go on a midnight jog

funny story about corn snakes. I had a pet corn snake for many years growing up down here actually in FL and was very familiar with almost all species of wildlife having been an avid outdoorsman my entire life as well. My father, a family friend, and I were out in the middle of the lake on our boat one morning and as I'm pulling a fishing rod out from the slots where they are stored on the boat, out slithers a corn snake. My knee jerk reaction was to yell snake prior to the recognition of it being a harmless stowaway. I look up and tell everyone this only to see our family friend, a big burly dude, standing on the very edge of the bow in a position reminiscent of a stereotypical 1950s housewife on a stool holding her skirt escaping a mouse. There was obvious contemplation as to whether the water would be a better place for him to be right at this moment. After I told them it's harmless and all that, i then became immediately concerned that my pet corn snake somehow managed to stow away on our gear and follow us for a little adventure as it looked identical to mine in every way. That concern was alleviated with a quick phone call to my house and we let the stow away go back to his hole for the duration of the trip. Years later another similar incident occurred, and now we have a snake stick as a permanent resident of the boat just in case...

The thumbnail: “Herping in December?!” January go brrrr (I know this was filmed previously)

Emily throwing down the catch pole and just excitedly grabbing the rat snake was so adorable!!

I love how the rat snake's like "eh, smell my musk. I do not approve of this odd massage"

A: Always spray yourself down with Off Deep Woods when going outside in the dark in Florida if it's not like under 60*F. The mosquitoes and no-see-ums have exactly zero mercy. B: I love that you both ran towards this cottonmouth. Almost everyone who lives here in Florida is _terrified_ of them. They get a really bad rap for being super aggressive when, in reality, they're not.

To whoever sees this: I hope you have a wonderful day!

Love the info on the cotton mouth! I live in Florida and have lived in Georgia for a while, and they really are chill creatures in general. You only really see em when they are slithering AWAY from you. My dad and little brother have also (accidentally) tested the info you presented near the end on the cottonmouth, my younger brother stepped on a huge cottonmouth and my dad walked in front of it and the snake did absolutely nothing. Great video as always!

The absolute joy you all exude when working with reptiles is wonderful! And while I have a serious aversion to venomous snakes... That cotton mouth was gorgeous!

Emily and Ed and the cottonmouth were a great example of social distancing. Stay safe people!

Dang, I wish I had a pet stick snake

what a gorgeous set of snakes. I find it kind of funny that snakes do the awkward "we're supposed to be parting ways but now we awkwardly are going in the same direction" kinda thing haha

Those snakes were awesome(and the "threatening" twitching, so adorable!), but so is the purple hair... Looks great! Gotta love a supportive family~ ^^

wow! i never knew a corn snake was actually called a red rat snake that is so cool!!!! this just made my day 10x better thank you!!! 🥰

I found a natural corn snake, out in the wild *let’s taste it*

I really like when Ed and Emily do the voices for the snakes/animals it adds a special touch 💕

Seeing her so happy about snakes is the most wholesome thing ever. 🥰

I love seeing Snake Discovery notifications pop up! Like "yup, ill stop what i'm doing this is more important" Lol!

Great video! My sister is on vacation in Minnesota and they found your facility for me! You guys sadly were not there but I was SO excited just to have a picture of the building! I can’t wait until I am able to come up there to see it! 😊

I love how they don’t want view beggars other people would say we cought a highly venomous snake 🐍 but they just said there looking for corn snakes 🐍 love you guys I’m a big fan

Emily: It’s a snake! Oh... wait no it’s a stick Ed: Yep it’s a stick snake 😂

I remember when I did a presentation about corn snakes ☺️

Emily's excitement is contagious XD I love it.

“Awwww rat snake” *Picks up rat snake with no Hesitation*

Ed's Dad is super cool. What a fun video in general. I love how excited Emily gets over the most dangerous animal too 😂👍

Me: *in class* Snake Discovery: *uploads* Me, throwing papers, notebooks, etc. off my desk: *SCIENCE CLASS CAN WAIT-*

I love how you are herping and saving snakes off the road😀🐍🐍

That cottonmouth is GORGEOUS! 😍 Beautiful pattern and face!!! Sometimes they’re kinda dirty looking, but this one was stunning!

I love how they are all unfased when a snake bites them

Imagine what would happen to the snakes in the road if they hadn't found them I'm happy they saved it

That corn snake looks just like mine! Who needs fancy morphs when wild-types are already so beautiful

I'm a french speaking from the province of Quebec, I don't always get it when you prononce the species of snake, so I really appreciate it when it is written on the screen. I like your channel. Merci beaucoup.

I noticed that other snakes tongues move like a vibration but the corn snake moves like its at a rock party 😂

👁👄👁 Me watching this as I remember crying thinking a worm bit me 😂😂

Can't wait for your facility to open up! We are so excited! And thank you for making our world's better, one video at a time!

one of the things i love is when a youtuber uploads a video they filmed months ago and im sure there have been many more that we dont know about but my favorite thing bout this type of thing is when someone exposes it so some one is like "its the 15th of feburary" and the video was uploaded on the like 23rd of september

Love this! I'm a native Floridian, and these 3, plus the diamondback are the ones you see on the snake ID FB pages the most. And the water snake, but you kind of went over that one- it's usually people thinking water snakes are cotton mouths and being corrected 🤦🏻‍♀️ Most people here use the "Zoro mask" and the "Hershey's kiss" pattern down the sides to ID. Man, was she GORGEOUS! I never knew how relatively docile they could be once they realize you're not going to eat them😍

Watching this while my Cornsnake is watching me eat breakfast. 🤣

Emily: I hope we can find a venomous snake Me: 😦

I just love your videos! They are so interesting and there really teaching me a lot about snakes and reptiles!

That cottonmouth was so calm

Hi guys just wanted to say i hope you guys have an amazing day with lots of love and laughter ....love from South Africa ...love your videos Emily and Ed 😍🐣

Yay! Emily and Ed! love getting yt notifications from Snake Discovery 😍 You guys are the BEST. Sending love from New Jersey 🖤🐍🖤

I live in Florida and I never realize how much I take Florida’s beautiful nature and wildlife for granted until I see people come down here _specifically_ to see the wildlife here

i have a Yellow Rat snake, i couldn't find much ab them online, so this was actually very informational for me!

Love that shaded hair emily! Great Video, Keep it up! 🖤💚

I would much rather watch you go herping then Brave Wilderness (for example) because you actually know what you're talking about and have an education with this stuff

Did anyone else notice that in the background of her editing in that little clip that she was eating the Buc-ees Beaver Nuggets?

Thank you for sharing the cottonmouth research data. I live in SW Florida and get tired of hearing the stories. My experiences are all pretty identical to this one - rare or non-threatening threat display, slow moving, no strikes, no aggression, no chasing.... they are lovely. I use the supra-ocular scales (brows) as a great way to identify from a distance.

Idc that I’m in school rn I’m stopping everything to watch this video 🤣also merry extremely late Christmas!!!

you colab with "brave wilderness" would be cool to see. like you could teach about snakes and they could teach about other animals in the same video.

Beautiful watching the cottonmouth slide by when the camera was at ground level. Kudos to Rock.

Love that this was filmed December 23rd, 2020 and uploaded January 12th, 2021

Loving these uploads! Speaking of yellow rats I have a little yellow rat snake that go herping alex reviewed in his last review video! Much love from Florida lol❤️❤️❤️

I'm in the middle of my math zoom class but this is more important

8:34 It's actually a yellow crowned night heron! One of my favorite birds!

I haven’t yet seen a video of Emily and Ed handling a venomous snake, and especially a wild one! How exciting! You guys are awesome, Snake Discovery!
