Well I drove 40 minutes to a spot I had been scoping out on google. I came here with the intention of finding Timber Rattlesnakes, and any other herp I could turn up. I searched for about 2.5 hours. Ulster County NY. Although I had a snake hook no venomous/protected species were handled. It was solely for flipping rocks safely.
Species List:
-Northern Slimy Salamander(Plethodon glutinosus)
-Eastern Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix)
-Northern Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus edwardsii)
-Northern Black Racer (Juvenile) (Coluber c. constrictor)
-Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina)
-Northern Black Racer (Adult, more like 5ft) (Coluber c. constrictor)
-Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)
-Northern Ringneck Snake (see above)
-TImber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)

Been herping for about 70 years. You are doing a great job in many ways.. It is refreshing to see a RU-vid herper who knows how to turn rocks properly and safely. Camera work could use a little improvement, but time will take care of that. Keep up the good work. I subscribed and hope to see many more vids.

All around nice work and I admire your restraint with some of these comments. I'm heading out this weekend to see about getting some photos. They may not be terribly exciting, but I have always had a particular liking for a nice docile ringneck or green grass snake.

If this is where I think it is, I’ve never seen one in over 35 years! In the 80’s there were many fires that drove them down and a 6’ long TR was killed on someone’s patio!! Without giving it away, I hear that you are guaranteed to see or hear one. Not to mention it’s the highest concentration of copperheads in NY.

I grew up in Alleghany county NY. My grandfather had thrown old tin roofing into tall weeds outback not far from the creek. As a child, I would go down and flip these pieces of tin over, and catch all sorts of snakes underneath them.

Great video! I remember being that ecstatic about my first one!

That's one statement I'll NEVER say, "I hope I find a rattlesnake!" :(

Rattlesnakes in New York? I live in New York and I never knew that there were rattlesnakes here. That's... concerning... 😟

Great job moving the trash. I may need to get out your way and herp. So many flippable rocks! Looks like quite a few mosquitoes or flies too.

Man, I used to climb every weekend at the Gunks in New Paltz. It looked exactly like that. We saw a handful of harmless snakes over the years but never even thought about stepping on a rattler or copperhead. Never even heard anyone talk about snake encounters. And we always walked off barefoot because the climbing shoes were so tight. Cool video!!
