  • This is so odd to see as I was the guy who sounded the alarm on this and triggered the husband and wife team of researchers to realize this was serious!!! They saw my field notes on Timbers with lesions and me saying it appeared fungal. The fungus was unknown and when I sent in samples they were unable to correctly identify a new fungus. It’s killing the snakes fast right under our noses!!! I even have a power point presentation on this as I was struggling to convince the “experts” there was a problem. It’s on my timber rattlesnakes Facebook page under snake fungal disease. Very odd to see this.

    It is always a game of roulette whether it's safe to eat food while watching WATOP.
  • I have watched your videos for years. Not sure how long but im 30 and its probably been as long as you have been outting out videos. I like to think i know a lot about animals and nature and different cultures but you always end up teaching me something i didnt know before. ❤️ Your channel is great. Even my daughter (11) loves your channel. She wont watch it on her own but if i mention it to her she will watch it with me. You and your channel makes a difference in peoples lives. Seriously. You make learning fun!!

    I had no idea fungal disease was taking out snakes. Thanks so much for the information.
  • Steve, if you want to know more about this I’m the guy. I pushed this for 10 years before I got traction with people. Sending samples to USGS labs, the dna they use to identify SFD is from one of my samples sent in. I first noticed this in timber rattlesnakes in 2003 ish but watched a population die off over several years. It’s so bad!!
