I brought in some "mystery eggs" once praying the whole time they weren't corals since the eggs were kind of long not round! LOL I finally saw movement and wiggling and a tiny lil slit appeared and I picked it up. A very alert lil anole popped out and he was good to go. He was on ready! He bit me straight away. My husband had gone to bed and not 20 mins after he was asleep I went in there to show him what it was. Maybe he was worried or dreaming that it was a coral snake! He screamed like a girl! LOL I'm still laughing...that was so cute. Bless.
You should mark the eggs on top with a sharpie, so u can tell where the top is, when u put them in the incubator.
Yes
How often do incubators fall over? That’s why some you tubers do it
@@mikafairystar I think that they mark it so when they’re transporting it does not roll i’m not sure how much they fall though 🐍🥚
@@mikafairystaryou have to put them in the incubator, the same way they where laid, with turning them or the fetus can rip away from the egg wall and kill the baby. So you mark the top before moving them at all.
@@mikafairystar you’d think not often, but it’s kinda surprising how often things can shift
What a beautiful clutch of eggs, not 1 slug in the bunch.
Hey gardener here, we use perlite to aid with drainage, and in rooting, and to allow roots to grow.
“What’s my idea of a perfect day ? We’ll I’m in the woods, the weathers beautiful, I’m on a 4-wheeler with a box full of snakes strapped to the back … you don’t get no better than this !!! Love it ! Glad I found your program ! Rock On brother !!!
“You don’t get no better”? …you don’t get any better. No double negatives Charles.
@@globalnomad450 In standard literary English, that's true. But in some forms of colloquial English, double negatives are often emphatic-as in Spanish, where additional negatives are additive. In this context, the double negative is correct usage.
@@valerievoigt no it isn’t if you want to speak English properly. We are not speaking Spanish here. It is ghetto American and it displays street language and a poor level of education. Acceptable in dialect but not formal English…
😂 Perlite is a kind of volcanic glass that’s been heated to puff up. You see it in garden stores because it helps with water retention an soil aeration. Vermiculite is made from silicate material; it’s an absorptive material, and used to keep soil damp. Like, this stuff absorbs 3-4 times it’s volume in water. Perlite helps with drainage, vermiculite helps retain water. So for egg incubation, it’s really about where you want the moisture to be - it’ll stay at the bottom with perlite, and it’ll be closer to the eggs with the vermiculite. I believe Snake Discovery found that perlite is an overall better medium. Hope that helps folks. 😊
Thanks for saving me from typing this info. He could have just UTFG for that info 😂
@@katiekane5247 I mean, I don’t blame him for not wanting to stop the video to look it up, but I figured someone was gonna want to know.
Snake discovery prefers perlite cause it's overall less messy. Both are equal mediums and it really depends on what you prefer :3
What a cute little baby. The big derpy eyes are reminding me of my jumping spiders cartoony lookin eyes.
Just here commenting as I watch!! Love these homeowners!! Good on them for not wanting them destroyed!!
I just LOVE that you offered water!!!! If/when I go herping I plan to carry water to offer animals.
I have a few suggestions to make your snake hatching easier and more helpful. First before you move the eggs at at put a little dot on the top of them with sharpie so you know which way is up just in case they roll also snake discovery on youtube has lots of videos that would help for next time
he did that tho
Looks like he knows what he is doing.
Nice, glad you saved the eggs. Tip for next time - put a mark on top of the eggs when you first find them so you can make sure they keep that rotation for transport and then into the incubator. Might have less die off then. Also, not sure the water was necessary, but I think you figured that out in the video.
Water in pearlite is necessary keeps with humidity watch Snake Discovery they use it all the time. They hatch eggs all the time too.
Welcome back! Wholesome content right here... Love those little noodles
I found racer eggs in my wood pile I hatched them out I let them go after I feed them 2 times I still have to that live in my shed they keep it mice free and they let me pick them up
I just found a batch of eastern brown snake babies (Australia) they are more venomous then mummy. They are also cream with fine dark rings, mummy is coppery brown.
So gorgeous 🥰!!
LOL: "They are not appreciative of what I did for them at all." 🤣
Thank you for educating us on the Black Racers. Beautiful snake!
Great video, so refreshing to see someone else who cares😊
Thank you @brendaboles3875
Perlite is an expanded volcanic rock. it is used to create better drainage and to loosen soil. vermiculite is also expanded rock when exposed to high terms, this holds much more water
Thanks Simplify Gardening. I knew someone could explain it much better than I did.
@@SnakesAreUsTV Both products are made for Concrete block insulation, pour inside a concrete block when building home for better R-Value
Loved seeing the racers released in such a great area.
I’m soo glad you mentioned not killing it and leaving it there because they regenerate and they are terrible for our ecosystem
what?
She's referring to the invasive worm from Asia that's in the beginning of the video.
Loved fhis!
Thank you for hatching those babies. We need more people like you
Just an FYI when the eggs start molding treat them with anti fungal & leave them. The eggs actually can still hatch 🐣
The kids and I are so excited for this video! Thank you, brother! We love and appreciate you!
Perlite is a volcanic glass. Used in the lab to absorb humidity. We boil out the water in a microwave or oven, then it's good as new.
Love your videos. Very informative.
Great video man! Extremely informative! Nice job!
Thank You Jason for the video 🙂. I really enjoy your videos and I love learning from you.
Tiny noodles-just precious 💖
That was a great video thanks very much
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for your hard work and sacrifices you have contributed.
This man is a beautiful specimen 🤤
Love ❤ your video's. You teach me so much I had know idea about. Thanks for sharing God bless.
AWESOME video, Jason!! Thanks for sharing!! XXXX
This isn’t the type of videos I usually watch or care about, but I really enjoyed watching you share your knowledge. And it’s a rare man that openly admits when he doesn’t know something (perlite is used for soil drainage btw). You self-depreciation is adorable and refreshing. And I’m sure that you are an expert in the field of snakes and other creepy crawlers. You are a cool dude.
So happy to see your video pop up ❤
I'm so glad you're doing videos again. Keep up the amazing work!
So glad you are back!
I remember seeing a black racer periscope behind my dad and I while we were sitting by a creek one day. After getting a measure of the situation, he slowly retracted down and slowly slithered off into the tall grass before making a break for it.
Very educational and entertaining, too. Great video, Jason!
Where our property is at in Georgia we get tons of snakes! It is pretty awesome seeing them out and about. I've seen a few copperheads here but mostly big beautiful rat snakes and king snakes and a few racers. We actually had a king snake get in my reptile room last year and he was sitting on top of my boa enclosure where the radiant heater is. LOL I had to giggle at that one.
Amazing!! He was like this is where I belong!! These ppl like snakes and have the heat to prove it!!!
Careful though, if one of yours gets out of it's home, they could exit the dwelling.
@@katiekane5247 We take every precaution. The kind of snakes I care for could not survive in this region if they did escape.
Thank you for the info love what u do keep it up 👍🏽
A little tip on hauling eggs. I used to work on 100-acre open range chicken farm and we used to have to go around and collect all the eggs and we put them in a container like you did but what we used was a very soft thick piece of foam and we just cut it so it would fit snug in the container and just pushed it down on top of the eggs to keep them in place.
Its so nice to see you back!!!
Wow, thanks for the education! I'm north of you in Barrow county. Now I'll know to look for babies in the fall on our walks. We have some nice parks up here to look around in.
Love this video! Your right. It is so cool getting to watch the baby snakes slither off in the woods. Just so long as I don't have to touch them, I'm ok. LMAO 😂. The information that you teach is really interesting. And people of ALL ages can learn from you. Thank you.
Everytime you said "Basketball Goal" I cracked up! I love it 🤣🤣
I'm happy to see a new video released. Thanks!
Missed you brother and I’ve got to say- that beard is looking great!
Wow haven't seen your videos in quite a while! Glad you are doing good God Bless
They are a nice looking lil snek!
Loved this video and your the first rescuer I've seen who knows to not release the snakes too far from their habitat 👏
Where you at brother?! I miss your videos! You’re an Awesome and entertaining person. Hope you’re well
"Look at this guy trying to drown us! I'm totally gonna bite him if I see him again." 🤣
Amazing video,thanks for uploading!
They are adorable! Not very thirsty, but can already climb trees! Cool
This whole video was spot-on! I'm only just finding your channel but you have a new subscriber 👍👍
Invasive worms? WTH? Glad you destroyed it!
Wait there's several snakes that actually incubate their own eggs and don't leave them I know there's some that do lay them and leave and some that give live birth which is cool af.....they are so beautiful and as.adults they are just as beautiful with those big ole derpy eye so so adorable
It’s usually pythons that brood their eggs. My understanding is that they lay in the sun as long as they can, then coil around their egg clutch through the night to keep them warm. They also pulsate their muscles to add to the warmth. And some pythons keep taking care of their baby snakes for a couple weeks after they hatch. They keep them warm and protected until the babies have absorbed their yolk and can hunt for themselves. It’s really fascinating how varied snake species are.
Is it a southern thing to call basketball hoops a “basketball goal” or is that just Jason 😂😂
The hoop is only part of it, it's on a pole with a stand so collectively, it's a goal.
Looks like a North American Black Racer!👍🏼 Appreciate you hatching and releasing those babies brother!🙏🙏 If more people cared then fewer species would be endangered or extinct!! It is sad for think how many snakes are killed out of fear so Thanks for BALANCING THE SCALES of nature 🤷🏽♂️🐍🦎🦖🦕🦎🐸🦆🦉🐢🦆🐢🕊🦎🐲 Keep it up
Long winter without you all. Can’t wait.
Great video!!
Years ago, when I lived in San Diego, CA I used to shelf incubate captive born corn snakes and leopard geckos (for pet shops). It was fun.
Awesome video!
This was a fun video. Thank you.
Great video 👍
I'm here for the mystery snake eggs
Your so adorable!
That might be one of the coolest things I ever heard hopefully someday you will see them again it just shows how passionate you are about these creatures that make people scared to death when they see them great video
I would have been tempted to keep them until after the first shed and meal before releasing or even grow them a few weeks to give them a better chance. But then again. Gotta let nature do it’s thing.
Semi-New subscriber. Love your content man. Aspire to do something similar to you some day.
Great video! I've only seen one black racer and I found out real quick why their called that. He was gone before I got anywhere near close and he was in hunting mode. So happy to see a video again. Sure have missed ya. Keep em coming.
Xrw1 awe0 m Mp.
He did later on
Good on you, makes me happy to
You’re gonna premiere this on my birthday 😁
Really loved this video amazing
This made my day!
I keep a little bit of dried powdered organic beet root (from my own garden so I know it's pure) in an old chapstick tube just for this type of situation. Mixed with a few drops of water, it forms a deep red dye that I can dip a Qtip or fingertip in and lightly mark the tops of the eggs without harming them. I've heard of folks using a Sharpie marker, but I worry about the chemicals in those, and a pencil, pen, or even wax crayon seems to be too hard to make a good mark without damaging the eggs. In a pinch I've dotted eggs VERY lightly with a lipstick, but again I'm leery of adding chemicals to the porous shells. As for the Black Racer's method of dispatching its prey, I can tell of the one experience I had when I accidentally interrupted one in the process of swallowing a Carolina Anole. The snake had the head and one front leg of the lizard in its gullet but disengaged quickly and left a VERY slimy lizard lying belly up but still alive. The lizard was attempting to breathe, as evidenced by visible effort, but the mucus was so thick around its head. Since the snake had exited, I wiped off the lizard's head. It seemed to me some enzymes were already working on the lizard's skin and especially the eyes, as some of the topmost layer of skin was pale and macerated and the eyes had a film. The lizard took a few minutes to move off. I have no idea if it survived. So I am guessing a heavy dose of thick mucus plus fast-acting digestive enzymes is at work here? Just my guess based off this single example. I'm certainly no snake expert, though I find them fascinating and beautiful.
Snake Discovery did a colored marker video on hatch rate. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Emily even draws "themes" on each one. Lol
First upload I've seen of yours. AWESOME RELEASE!!! *SUBSCRIBING*
Very interesting!🐍
Awesome thx!!
Vermiculite, at least from my experience, is also a lot more expensive and harder to find then perlite
Pearl Light is used as a gravel type substance leaving pockets for roots to grow down into much better
Kool stuff
Yes it for potted plants. I use it to help keep the soil lose as my dirt is a bit hard. So mix it with water beads.
How funny 😄 throwing baby snakes in water! Hahahaha! Look at them being confused 😐 so cute. Hope they don’t drown, maybe just the stupid ones will drown.
Cool video
Perlite is just ground pumice.
They are so fast! I watched one go up my drain pipe and gradually empty a nest of yellow finches. I was making my morning coffee, and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement. I couldn't see the nest, thankfully. But he or she came back, at the same approximate time every morning until the nest was quiet. I've seen that one or maybe another, working on a nest on the front of my house too. They're territorial, right? How many could about an acre of intown land with a little spring thru the middle support?
Good question!
@@katiekane5247 I am very curious. I have a eastern blue indigo who hitched a ride in on some pine straw from south Ga.. And copperhead(s), one of whom bit Zooey cat- they found the venom at the UGA Emergency Vet Clinic. I think my little spring- stream is a microclimate that draws in all sorts of critters, esp since the development of high rise student apartments is destroying habitat.
Thanks
If you take a nontoxic marker and put a. on top of the egg help you keep orientation
Maybe try to take a cookie sheet with you, fill that with water and try to release them in the center? Then I think they would be mostly clean when leaving the pan. Will they turn black or will the first one stay the same color? Nevermind lol......I finished watching the end!
Ok, it's so tiny and cute, I would want one as a pet..... Don't worry, I know not to take snakes out of the wild but still adorable.
1st time seeing a hammerhead worm on video
A common helpful ratio in gardening is 1/3 air 1/3 water 1/3 media. Perlite is volcanic rock, like rice crispies it is puffed (naturally, unnaturally, I'm not sure)! and is mostly air. Vermiculite is mica (a mineral) that has had its very fine layers separated.
I suspect you are thinking of Vermiculite for water retention, Vermiculite is also what's more commonly used incubating reptiles. Perlite is generally added to potting mix to give it loft and better drainage.
Yes perlight is for holding water in plants
Very cool
Do you ever adopt the baby snakes out? And if you do how much do they go for? Non-venamis (sorry I know I spelt that wrong lol) like a hognose or rat-snake?
Great video, by the way, do you remember that $100 I loaned you way back when you were one day old? 😜
