Slithery Snakes of the California Grasslands 

DropTheBeat Cat that is if it's not hurting you

ikr. it’s weird, pretty and more!

We can say amen to that

Kenpachi Ramasama do you remember deadly 60 I used to watch it all the time and now I'm watching coyote

i agree

ya

2019, he already has ❤️

His own TV show just premiered 2 mins ago on Animal Planet :)

What the heck is that 😶

Really? Every one I came across gets pissed off quickly and will rattle their tails and hiss loudly.

Will they bite if you try to handle them? I see em all the time in morgan hill

​@@tonym8619 Sometimes they behave a bit grouchy but, handled carefully and gently, I've never been bitten. Most of the time they seem quite indifferent. Although, I've noticed that, in some regions, they can be slightly more aggressive. Seems like the more northern populations are more docile and most of the ones I've handled were in Canada or around the Columbia River Gorge (Washington/Oregon).

@@watwudscoobydoo1770 Here in Kansas, I've seen them do some tail rattling, hissing, and bluff strikes when startled, but they become very docile if they are picked up gently.

You're so lucky. I wish I had them where I live.

So cool!

I have a Pet California Kingsnake

California king snakes are my favorite snakes they're the best to catch but I never caught one they're so big when I go to the Santa Cruz mountains I'm going to look for one and when I catch I'm going to let it go after I'm done touching it and playing with it and then I think I'm going to live stream it then I'm going to put it on RU-vid

mrscary3105 thanks so much for watching... and i think your work relocating snakes to an area where kids are not playing is a pretty good play...i agree that its not ideal for the snake...but better a snake be moved than a human bitten and then the snake destroyed! Be careful but keep up the good work!!

I live near Letchworth State park, so snakes are common here for being Western NY. In Danville NY, they have a place called Rattlesnake hill. (Guess how it was given that name) ;)

Lincoln Runyan He died with animals in his heart

Haha that is exactly what I was thinking a couple weeks ago! I wish he were alive though

Martin Rosenmuller thanks for the incredibly kind comment... Steve was one of my inspirations when I was younger...great honor that people see some of that in me but no one will ever replace him. My goal is to bring animals to people in a way that he inspired...carrying on the torch is important for all of the animals and for the kids of the next generation :)

+Coyote Peterson r u thereal one

+Coyote Peterson I like the fox snake

a Mindfish thanks for noticing...we take a lot of time and care with the music placement in all our episodes :)

Edie Koller you bet Edie! Glad you enjoyed this one... we have a real fun one coming out tomorrow...stay tuned and thanks for checking this one out!

SuperJellyRobot thanks! appreciate the views...the hat is from a company called Henschel Hats... if you check out my website www.coyotepeterson.com and go under sponsors you can find a link to their page! Or just search them on the inter web!

+Samuel Cox i'd bite you too if you took me home and put me in a cage

+Samuel Cox Is it your pet now or did you let it go?

Mill the Oldtimer ya know we ask our selves the same thing :) haha actually our channel is very very new...only about 5 months and growing rapidly everyday...so fingers crossed it continues to do so... thanks for all the great support! As for the field of Herpetology... I would say read every book you can on reptiles and amphibians..scour the internet and reach out to local wildlife centers and metro parks in your area to see if you can get involved with any of their local programs. This field is all about experience and the more you can get the further you will get. Not sure how old you are but if you are still in school...study biology obviously and try to connect with high school or college professors that are also doing field research and offer to be a field assistant at any chance you can get. And always remember... ask lots of questions and be ambitious... you never know how far you will get unless you have the confidence to ask the questions and put yourself out there! Good luck, hope that helps :)

Coyote Peterson Thank you so much for the response. I am in high school and ive been taking every single biology class I can. I've also been emailing various professors around the country and hitting the books hard. Thank you so much for the response and kind words. I hope your channel continues to do so well and eventually sky rockets to the top!

Mill the Oldtimer thanks so much write to me any time with questions about animals or your studies...always happy to help if I can :)

Coyote Peterson thanks for caching snakes for me

Me to

Curtis Reid very cool...probably the safest snake to encounter! Unless you don't like getting popped on!

Coyote Peterson LOL

We tried to catch one at the cottage and got bit. How do you catch them?

Bryson White very cool! always an awesome snake to encounter!

GLGBro2 -Or Puss well thank you for such caring concern...I truly appreciate that :) I always do my best to stay safe...and while it can be dangerous at times...we take all precautions necessary and always have a safety team on location when working with potentially deadly animals.

this is such a wholesome part of the comment section

+Coyote Peterson i really hope that you don't die doing this life threatening job... because you are a huge inspiration and i no longer have archnaphobia because of you

goodbwork?

Nowheremovies this was my first time catching Santa Cruz Garters... not a single bite or aggressive behavior... they did musk a lot...but where I live, in Ohio, Eastern Garter Snakes can be pretty aggressive and bitey. I find that whenever handling a snake, as long as I am calm and gentle, speak softly and don't "Swing the snake around" its a very pleasant encounter. That all said... never catch or handle a snake unless you know what species it is... and when in doubt...just admire from a safe distance!

Got it, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I hope to catch or at least spot more snakes in the future.

KoS_09 haha, well thank you!
