  1. Bryan rockin' the hat…like a Bizarro Indiana Jones who likes snakes. 😛 And yet it's Marissa who's got the whip!

  2. I didn't know that the racers eat rattlesnakes first time ever hearing this and I was born in this desert 🤔

  3. Get you 2 buckets 🪣 that way you will have one for later sit home watch tv and eat cookies lik

  4. Bryan: Here's a nice location. A nice deep packrat den in some boulders overlooking the city. It has some nice rocks to warm up on in the morning.

    You guys are like rattlesnake realtors.

  5. Loved seeing the coachwhip!! And 3 cheers for "common sense" — keep the big coachwhip close! Bryan, you hike a lot!!! Sounds like you were just having a "hungry" day. A bucket of cookies does sound pretty wonderful. Blessings for the work you all do!!

  6. Eat a burrito, take a hike then eat some cookies ; Richard Simmons would approve your commitment Bryan.

  7. How ironic. I know of some churches in the south that would absolutely love it if the rattlers came to their doorstep. They would get to take part in the following Sunday's services. But this church wants rid of them. Lol.

  8. Any idea if Crotalus Cerestes has different habits over other rattlesnakes during the winter?

  9. I've been watching the videos for around 2-3 months after I stumbled across the channel. I'm in northwest Orange County California, about 12 miles from the nearest beach. The different rattlesnake breeds and their different behavior amongst the breeds amaze me. My area has been quite urban for over 50 years, but there seems to be an increase in rattlesnakes in my area. The San Gabriel River becomes the Los Angeles County line, and some rattlesnakes got washed down from the mountains in a rainstorm several years ago. They made their way northwards alongside where Coyote Creek drains into the San Gabriel River on the LA County Border between the cities of Long Beach (LA County) and Los Alamitos (Orange County). And alongside the Long Beach side is El Dorado Park, a big park that goes alongside the San Gabriel River for several miles. Coyote Creek is ideal for snakes, as it goes by a Forest Lawn Cemetary, and some tributaries drain into it, including some flood control drains. An abandoned Southern Pacific Railroad right of way swings by residential homes and crosses some of the tributaries and drainage ditches, giving snakes safe havens for dens. My home is by the right of way and a flood control drain. There are gophers, squirrels and plenty of lizards in my neighborhood. I assume that will be prime for rattlers to survive in my area, particularly Pacific rattlesnakes?

  10. Awesome Coachwhip Marissa. I've never seen a black phase like that always the "red racer" like I used to see in SoCal, or the black fade to light brown like the ones here in Georgia.

  11. The other day, I saw you and Jeff down in Mexico with some other YouTubers. I don't remember who they were, but it looked like you guys had a blast. Keep up the great work guys.. and girl.

  12. Crap. Everyone tells me that I won’t see any snakes on hikes over the winter. False.

  13. Probably also has a severe rodent problem. The snakes need to eat. The snakes are not looking to bother you. There will be more snakes in that area. They should have left the Coach Whip alone.
