Ca herper, Singapore lifers

Post by LouB747 »

Thought I'd share this with my CA friends who don't look at the main forum that often.

Last week I found a Mangrove Cat Snake and Big-Eyed Whip Snake, both lifers. I shot the video with a GoPro Hero 4 Black, so it's in 4K. That said, I haven't actually watched it in 4K yet!

Here's a frame grab from the video

And the video.


Thanks for watching,

Lou

I thought Cal King on Whitewater when I saw it. It looked black and white at first. Reality set in and I thought it was a krait, a super rare find for Singapore. Once I walked in I immediately recognized it as it glowed yellow and black.

Malaysia next month for the first time. Hoping to see a few more lifers!

Thanks guys. It's funny that a leaked video of me landing on a bumpy day got over 1,000,000 views in a day yet I barely get 100 views on my snake videos. Such is the world we live in.

They were just hoping to see blood and fire :lol:

Your comment made me thing of this... Out of all my videos dedicated to native reptiles and amphibians the one with the most hits is, "The Croaking Bullfrog" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfR1OYyQv2Q :lol: Rubber Boas, rattlers, and a YBR hit the 1 or 2k mark, but Jeremiah got over 19k
