If you remember Hans' post about our herping trip, I have some videos from that world tour if anyone's interested.
They cover Israel, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
I'll link to some herping vids here and some bug vids in the invert forum. It's just me fooling around with an iPhone 3GS, not trying to do a nature show like the 15-year-olds on here (I'm 34), but criticism (on YouTube) is welcomed. That's how you improve, right? And most of them are short, to minimize viewer pain
There's a ton of them, but a bunch are on pavement so they're too embarrassing to post here.
Thanks,
Warren

The Cerastes burying itself is just insane.
Re: Shameless self-promotion
Great stuff Warren, the stuff from Israel is especially interesting since we don't often get to see stuff from there. The Atractaspis was very cool. How was herping in that area?

Wow, I agree the Cerastes vid is awesome! I also like the Sphenops. Its cool how they are so similar to the Neoseps of Florida.
Re: Shameless self-promotion
Yes herping is always fun isn't it!? Did you come across many snakes at night? And did you feel safe herping in that area?Warren wrote:It was fun! (not sure what you're asking)Jon Wedow wrote:How was herping in that area?

Hi Warren,
thanks for posting
It was nice meeting you out in the desert but somehow I forgot your name so I never realized who you were though I've read and enjoyed several of your posts here
Nice to see some of the animals from that evening again and good to see you did well later on in Israel and elsewhere (Atractaspis are awesome ) after getting out late for road cruising a couple of nights earlier
Regards,
Kristian

Hi Jon,Did you come across many snakes at night? And did you feel safe herping in that area?
Kris might be able to answer that better than me, because he saw a lot more than I did. I came across a few snakes per night and felt totally safe. It's like herping anywhere: if you don't know what to look for, it's very hard, but if you go with a local, your lifers become trash snakes in a matter of minutes because you see so many of them
Re: Shameless self-promotion
I can only echo Warren's sentiments. I had a very succesful night in the dunes with Warren and a local guy and an excellent night road cruising with a couple of locals. My results road cruising by myself were somewhat meagre. In the daytime I did very well by myself a lot of the time but it was a little bit up and down. All in all it was a fantastic herping experience though, and I was very pleased with my results.Warren wrote:Hi Jon,Did you come across many snakes at night?

In terms of safety I felt very secure throughout even though I spent a great deal of time by myself in desolate border regions often at night and occasionally encountering heavily armed - but always friendly - military personnel.

Thanks for the input guys. Kris I just stumbled upon your posts right now and they are amazing! It sure seems like a herp rich environment! Thanks for sharing!
