I've been resting this week for the most part so I don't got any herps from this week to show sooo here's a very pretty Garter Snake I found while road cruising last week! 🐍

If you focus reaaaally hard you can see an American Kestrel 😅 #badpics

If you have some bad pic favs, let's see 'em! Quote reply with your #badpics! Somehow nothing at all is in focus in this attempted shot of a Bufflehead Duck. In my defense it was waaaay past sunset & my camera said "you're kidding, right?" Over on Twitter we called this a #WorstBirdPic #birds 🌿

A stunner of a Milksnake I found crossing the road a couple of nights ago, right as it was getting dark! It's always a good session when I get to see a Milksnake! 🐍

I need to take a break from road cruising for a few days, I'm getting burnt out. I'll get back at it on Friday I think.

Spoilers: I drove 🐍🐍🐍🐍 THEY ARE REAL

Based on what I posted last night, I have this, I guess collage of pictures of all the snakes I have seen in Tennessee. The black squares are the ones I'm missing.

I’m convinced that Scarletsnakes in Tennessee are mythical. I’ve put so many herping sessions since last year at 3 different sites with no success yet. I’m not giving up but this is proving to be a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.

Beautiful Salamanders from last night after a random thunderstorm at like 11PM! 🦎 1) Red Salamander 2) Marbled Salamander 3) Long-tailed Salamander 4) Spotted Salamander

A couple of danger noodles from last night! These two snakes where like 30 feet from each other, crazy! 🐍 1) Timber Rattlesnake 2) Copperhead

A couple of Timber Rattlesnakes found on crossing the road on Wednesday night! Funny thing, I've already found more Timbers this year than I did in the entirety of last year! Crazy! 🐍

Probably the latest Eastern Box Turtle I will ever see! Found this guy crossing the road at 8:20PM a couple of nights ago, crazy to see one of them moving after sunset! 🐢

New herping video! Short one this time around, but I was able to find a lot of neat lizards as well as a couple of cool snakes! 🐍 🦎 youtu.be/N4M5RsXO-b0?...

Summer is Coming! Lots of Racerunners, Black Kingsnake, Green Anole and More.youtu.be Hiiii!So this week I had a really tough session, not a whole lot to show but it's how it goes sometimes. Racerunners are really cool though! glad I was able ...

A few Six-lined Racerunners I found this morning! This is the only Whiptail species we have in Tennessee. They are pretty seasonal here and very picky of their habitat so they can be tricky to find. 🦎

I posted my new herping video yesterday! This one features the most unreal snake road cruising sessions I’ve had so far with over 7 species and 15+ snakes including a favorite of mine, the Timber Rattlesnake! 🐍 youtu.be/uvKYCOoSIck?...

Crazy Snake Road Cruising Session! 15+ Snakes! Timber Rattlesnake, Copperhead, Milksnake and More!youtu.be Hiiii!I know this video is pretty long but I had such an unbelievable road cruising session that it was hard to cut anything out. Generally road cruising sna...

I’m really excited to share my next herping video, it has some of my favorite snake species in it :)

First Timber Rattlesnake of the year!!! Found this one about to cross the road right at dusk yesterday. Such a stunner too!! After some quick pictures I helped them cross to the other side safely! 🐍

New video! This May has been so weird. Lots of rain, low-ish temps, it's been hard to predict how snakes are gonna behave, but it's still been pretty productive! 🐍🐢 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZPD...

Herping During A Weird Weather Week! Ratsnake, Queensnake, Box Turtle and More!www.youtube.com Hiiiii!Here's a few of the finds I got during early May. Weather was kind of weird and I didn't know what to expect but I ended up getting some neat stuff. L...

Here's a few Salamanders from last night after a rain! I'm surprised how productive it was considering the rain stopped before dark, but the roads were wet enough to get stuff moving for an hour or so. 🦎 1) Red Salamander 2) Cave Salamander 3) Long-tailed Salamander 4) Southern Two-lined Salamander

A few snakes from a short trip to Atlanta this weekend! 🐍 1) Red-bellied Snake 2) DeKay's Brownsnake 3) Gray/Eastern Ratsnake (Complex) 4) Smooth Earthsnake

A couple of Cave Salamanders found last week during some big storms. I initially wanted to cruise a different road but it was closed by the police due to flooding, so I ended up cruising a bit 5 minutes away from my house and saw these beauties! Love Cave Salamanders! 🦎

Finding So Many Kingsnakes!www.youtube.com Hiiii!It was a tough week of herping, but it did end up paying off with some really cool snakes! Hope you all enjoy!instagram: wp_herping

I think I'll try to target Prairie Kingsnake throughout May. It's probably a little late in the season to start trying for them but I really want to find one in Tennessee, so I may as well go for it. Here's a picture of the only one I've been able to see. From Kentucky last year. 🐍

Scarlet Kingsnake from Kentucky last week! I can’t get over how pretty this species is!! 🐍

Here's a Milksnake I found a couple of days ago in Kentucky! Even tho they are in shed, they are still really pretty! 🐍

FoxFoxFoxFoxFox!!! 🦊

A Rough Green Snake a friend and I road cruised on Wednesday during a warm afternoon. I almost never get to see Green Snakes so I was pretty happy about it! First one of the year! 🐍

I just uploaded a new video! This one features a bunch of snake species I hadn't shared before in the channel and also my reaction to my lifer Eastern Hognose! Hope you all enjoy! 🐍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Fq...
