Nicely Done! Not enough herpers take the time to set up nice and peaceful shots of the snakes in their natural habitat, especially with such high quality and sound. When you can gather such an audience as you have without crazy embellishment or click-bait, it gives me a little hope for humanity.

Could you do snakes in Utah please. I catch gopher snakes all the time and green rat snakes but I’d be interested in learning what other snake species live in Utah.

Beautiful snakes. Awesome video. May you explain about "Squeeze proportionate to body size" please??

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

Thank you so much!!! Squeeze proportionate to body size means that Kingsnakes have such a huge power in their muscles compared to their body size that if you take into account their power and size they are probably stronger than anaconda and other huge constrictors.

@bradsillasen1972 3 года назад

Nice footage but the background track is not appropriate for many of the habitats and species portrayed. For instance, there are no Gila Woodpeckers in Coastal Rosy Boa range (coastal SoCal foothills). It is a nice ambient recording though, but might be confusing for some who know or want to learn bird calls/songs.

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

Thank you very much! You are right, Rosy boa is from Anza Borrego, but we did not record anything there. We hope that this detail did not ruin everything...

Another fine video thank you. I find it interesting that the mountain king snakes of California, Arizona and New Mexico have warning colors( Batesian mimic)of the venomous coral snake. However they are found in completely different habitats, one in the desert the other in the high mountains. To discourage predators, this species releases a very strong and foul smelling musk. Predators will often release the snake before any harm is done.

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

Thank you very much!!! Yes, it is indeed interesting complex of mimicry and the history of it must be very cool! Yes, the defense mechanisms like musk and color work pretty well in snakes.

Wooow! This is awesome ! but I have a question for you, if non venomous snake like house snake according to non venomous snakes in Uganda, if it's bites you like three times, is there anything wrong will happen to you?

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

It a non-venomous snake bites you, nothing happens. Only a local infection can happen such as after a bite of any wild animal.

@alfazoologist9741 3 года назад

Okay thank you! But what about midly venomous snakes if it bites you any thing will happen?

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

@@alfazoologist9741 With mildy venomous species you need to be careful as with strongly venomous ones. You never know if you will have bad reaction after the bite. At least from my point of view, it is not worth to risk feeling bad or having swollen hand.

@alfazoologist9741 3 года назад

Oh yes! that's very big recommendation for me , because I was like both non venomous and midly venomous has no problems after a bites you.

@MrGriser 3 года назад

The thing about Coral snakes, Milk Snakes and some Kingsnakes is they not only look alike but mimic the same demeanor you need to look carefully at the pattern Red on yellow kills a fellow red on black friend of Jack. However in Latin America there are mildly venomous red banded snakes which have exactly the same pattern.

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

You are right, in South America there are also coral snakes which don't have the typical color scheme like Red and yellow states (for example Micrurus surinamensis).

@Sick_Boy_Rick74 3 года назад

I just love the farting hook nose snake! Another non venomous snake that I can’t get enough of is the gray banded king snake. That is a stunner as far as looks go. I’ve also heard coral snakes will also fart when bothered too much.

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

Yes, farting snakes are very cool! :D It is amazing way of defense! We worked with Arizona coral snake but no farting!

@jamesanderson9287 3 года назад

The way to remember the difference between similarly patterned kingsnakes from the coral snake is by remembering this: Red by yellow, kills a fellow. Red by black, venom lack. Also, when you did film in Arizona, you forgot or didn't find a major species of rattlesnake, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake. That one is said to be closest to what the first rattlesnakes looked like. Slightly smaller than diamondbacks, found mainly near Phoenix and Tucson and can appear in the forests too.

@LivingZoology 3 года назад

You are right, there is this famous saying about kingsnakes and coral snakes which works in the USA. However, when you go more South to Central and South America, it does not work anymore. Unfortunately, the only Arizona Black we saw was killed on purpose by a car in front of us. That was a very sad moment. We searched for it a lot, but no luck.

Since the king cobra and the kingsnake both like to eat other snakes, can you tell me what will happen if a king cobra and kingsnake are going to fight each other? Who will win? Is it gonna be one heck of a fight? Will the king cobra and kingsnake both end up killing each other at the end of the fight?

The big question is if the Kingsnake is immune to King cobra's venom! :D Very probably not, so the King will be an easy winner.

Bitten by Coral Snake identification …if Red Touch Yellow you’re a dead fellow. If Red Touch Black, You are Ok Jack. Is this true?

@LivingZoology 2 года назад

This works only partially. If you are not an expert in snakes do not touch any snake with bands. Some non-venomous snakes have red and yellow next to each other for example. In South America coral snakes have various color schemes.
