- 嘿，伙计们，我是郊狼彼得森
现在,我们正在拍摄第二季
探险的视频,并且我们刚好碰到
这只美丽的南方水蛇
这让我想起了在第一季
遇到的蛇
让我们回顾一下
我们遇到蛇最酷瞬间
回顾那些不可思议的第一季的冒险
一想到我们遇到了多少条蛇就感觉很疯狂
喔，喔，喔，喔，停。
有响声
我们碰到一小撮可爱的小蛇
这是一群发怒的中等大小的蛇
典型的进攻信号
它从一开始就想咬我
晚上有蛇.
好吧，这是水蝮蛇
白天还有蛇
有一件事我从来没有向你展现过
那就是把你的手伸进响尾蛇后面的洞里
树上的蛇
和水中的蛇
毒蛇，有的带有强大而危险的毒牙
当然还有大蟒蛇
对待它们要尽可能的友好
好吧，她好像在贴近我的脸
嗅我
我想我们唯一没有看到蛇的地方就是飞机上
所以不用再多费吹灰之力,让我们一起看看
在第一集中我们遇到的蛇中之最
我最喜欢的一次相遇发生在北巴斯岛
多种物种的家园
那是个小伊利湖水蛇
但没有比狐狸蛇更优雅的了.
你看，她的头有点突出
在那里的树枝上
你看到蛇信子了吗?
黑色的而且很粗
没有比爬上树抓蛇更
令人兴奋的事了
I didn't want to get much further off the branch than that.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, and that's how you scale a tree
to catch a Fox snake.
And the good news for me is that this species is one
of the friendliest on the island.
And while North Bass is not home to any venomous species,
there is a certain snake that does not want to be bothered.
There's one.
There's absolutely nothing I love more
than running after and diving for a watersnake.
Here we go, that's a pretty good sized one right there.
That is a Lake Erie watersnake,
and the typical signs of aggression,
he's trying to bite me right from the start.
Wow, that is a, geez,
yeah, he just took the tip of my finger
and sliced it open.
Okay, hold on, let me try to get him
under control a little bit better.
I'm used to being tagged by water snakes
and I'm sure some of you are cringing,
but trust me, it looks a lot worse than it really was.
From islands to the out lands of Arizona,
snakes are everywhere.
One of my closest encounters happened dark one night,
deep in the desert.
Oh, check this out guys, fantastic.
This is the sidewinder, one of the iconic species
that lives here in the Sonoran Desert.
This is the smallest rattlesnake species
that you can encounter out here,
and they are also known as the horned rattlesnake.
I absolutely love the way sidewinders move,
as long as they don't move too close to my face.
Look how beautiful that snake is.
Holy moly, okay, don't get any closer.
So if you come out here to the desert at night
and run across a small rattlesnake
and you see those two little horns,
you instantly know it's the sidewinder.
The best Arizona snake find was actually the work
of Breaking Trails director Mark (indistinguishable)
- (Mark) Hey guys, there's a snake over here.
- What, Jesus.
- Careful.
- Where, where, where, where?
Alright, watch your footing.
Alright, Chance, come up slow.
Oh yeah, that is a Western diamondback rattlesnake.
Priority number one, guys, is safety.
I want to get that snake out of there.
I want to be as careful as I can.
He's basically sensing a couple of warm body masses
and he says okay, this is not prey,
these are potential predators.
After getting this big boy out of the rocks,
we got the surprise of our lives.
You come across this guy in the Sonoran desert,
you step back and give it respect.
- (Voiceover) Does he have double fangs?
- Holy cow, he does.
Double fangs, didn't see that one coming.
Now rattlesnakes are constantly replacing their fangs,
so one of these sets is getting ready to drop out
and then the new set will be in place
so he can go out there and hunt for his dinner.
Whether by the light of day or the headlamps of night,
snakes seem to be everywhere.
So night herping is when you're actually
out looking for reptiles.
Herpetology is the study of reptiles,
so kind of the slang term is night herping.
Stop, stop, stop, right there, right there.
Get out, get out.
It's a coral snake.
This is one of the coolest snakes here in the Everglades.
This is actually also the most venomous snake
we could have encountered tonight.
Personally, I seem to have the best luck searching
out serpents on Sunday mornings
after a late night rain storm.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.
We got a rattle.
Yup, it's an Eastern diamondback.
Wow, what a beauty.
That is a really good sized Eastern diamondback.
This is not a good position for me
to try to get you guys close to film.
I don't always show off a snake's fangs,
but the Eastern diamondback is notorious
for having enormous venom ejectors,
and this one certainly didn't disappoint.
Now you get bit by those little hypodermic needles
and you've got a hemotoxin going in to your blood stream
that's going to start killing red blood cells.
You want to get yourself to the hospital
as fast as you possibly can to get some antivenom.
Last, but certainly not least,
was the biggest snake of season one, the Burmese python.
This snake is about 12 feet long
and you can see why a python of this size
would be quite the voracious predator
out here in the Everglades.
And what people really worry about
is these eating some of the more threatened species,
like American crocodile hatchlings
or the Key Largo woodrat.
Sadly, these snakes are invaders to the Everglades,
and nothing is more destructive to an environment
than a predator that does not belong.
This snake is used to being handled,
so I don't really feel nervous
with it wrapped around my body.
I would never recommend that you try
to pick up a Burmese python if you see it in the wild.
It's best to just leave it alone.
Obviously, they're an invasive species here
in the Everglades, so you'd want to alert somebody
if you did ever encounter one out here.
People get them when they're small
and they grow into these 12 foot giants,
and then people release them in to the Everglades.
Unfortunately, when these snakes are now captured
in the Everglades, they're immediately destroyed.
This gentle giant was provided for us to film with,
and on a positive note, is being kept in captivity
to educate people on the negative effects snakes
of this size can have on the local wildlife populations.
I know a lot of people are terrified of snakes.
Clearly, I am not.
Okay, she's kind of close
to my face right there, sniffing me.
You go up on my hat, alright.
And whether you love them or loathe them.
Dove off the edge of that hill there
and managed to nab two snakes at exactly the same time.
This is absolutely awesome.
Please keep in mind that these beautiful reptiles,
when not considered an invasive species,
are an important part of the ecosystem
and are much more afraid of you
than you should ever be of them.
Looking back on season one, our official list
of top 10 snakes are,
Number one, baby snakes.
Look how cute he is.
Wow, he's probably only a couple of weeks old.
Number two, the gopher snake.
They will hiss, but this one
is really being pretty cool
to hang out with.
Number three, the fox snake.
What an absolutely beautiful snake.
Number four, the Northern Pacific rattlesnake.
Uh, one thing I don't ever recommend you do
is stick your hand into a hole after a rattlesnake.
Number five, the Lake Erie watersnake.
There we go, that's a pretty good sized one right there.
That is the Lake Erie watersnake.
Number six, the Santa Cruz gartersnake.
Yes, yes.
Number seven, the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake.
That doesn't mean we have to give it any less respect.
Number eight, the Burmese python.
But I'll tell you what, if she wanted to,
she could squeeze the life right out of this coyote.
Number nine, the sidewinder.
Holy moly, okay, don't get any closer.
And last, but not least, number 10,
the double-fanged western diamondback rattlesnake.
He is absolutely beautiful.
And as for season two, let's just say,
we definitely plan to up our snake game.
