Garter snakes on YouTube

[RedSidedSPR]

I'm curious as to which of you have YouTube channels.. several people here i know do, but I never would have known until i recognized the snakes. I mean, i had no idea Steve had one, but as i was browsing YouTube his Radix Ranch was inevitable... i was like "it's Steve!":eek: I recognized Stefan's style and his snakes... I was like, why does a big fat gravid hypo water snake seem familiar??.. hey.. it's Shannon.. etc etc.

So I'm curious of how many people here have YouTubes of there snakes, but don't advertise it in there signature like some. If you're like me, you like videos as much as photos (sometimes), so it's cool to know.

Mine is in my signature.. video quality sucks right now, but i'm getting an HD camera soon.

[frostyftw]

You guys should see my video, my cat is searching for something in my mom's purse. ;D

[RedSidedSPR]

Funny!

[frostyftw]

If you mean my video, then thanks.

I just randomly had my cam ready when it happened. ;)

There's mine.

[RedSidedSPR]

Awesome It think I had found yours, but forgot...

[ConcinusMan]

Wayne and William's channels have been added to my subscriptions. the rest you above are already in there.

[PINJOHN]

would any one like to take the time to explain to this fossil about u tube i know of course that people put up video's of all kinds, for other peoples's enjoyment i was under the impression you just logged on and watched, but this talk of u tube channel and subscription has me confused [an increasingly normal state for me ] :confused:

[kibakiba]

You can subscribe to other peoples channels, that they post videos to when they're logged on. It'll send you an email when there is a new video posted on that persons channel.

[PINJOHN]

Thanks Chantel that has lifted the fog somewhat :D:D

[RedSidedSPR]

Click "My Channel" under mine and Richards signature and it will bring you to our "channels". That's all of our uploaded videos.

My "subscriptions" our channels I like and if I subscribe, YouTube sends me an email saying "whatevertheirnameis has uploaded a new video"... and other stuff.

Anyone can subscribe to me, and the same thing goes.

Friends... not a huge thing on YouTube but that's there too.

[RedSidedSPR]

And yes. I will subscribe anyone here too, when I'm at a computer.

That is, I'd like to. I can't access Waynes channel. It brings me to MY (yes me.. my) videos.

[ConcinusMan]

You can subscribe to other peoples channels, that they post videos to when they're logged on. It'll send you an email when there is a new video posted on that persons channel.

If you want it to. I don't have mine set that way. I simply log into youtube (actually, I'm always logged in, i just open it) and it shows any new videos that have been posted on my subscriptions.

PINJOHN, you just create a user account and log in. You can then upload your own videos. If people like your videos they can "subscribe" to your channel and one way or another they will know when you upload a new video, so they can watch it.

[ConcinusMan]

And yes. I will subscribe anyone here too, when I'm at a computer.

That is, I'd like to. I can't access Waynes channel. It brings me to MY (yes me.. my) videos.

I can. I think he fixed the link. I have no problem viewing his channel. Besides, you could just search youtube for his channel name, go there, hit "subscribe"

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh, i see... he did fix it. I subscribed.
I didn't even know his name, so that wouldn't have worked.:rolleyes:


If you want it to. I don't have mine set that way. I simply log into youtube (actually, I'm always logged in, i just open it) and it shows any new videos that have been posted on my subscriptions

Where do you see it? i have it set for emails, but i didn't know they showed it on YouTube...

[ConcinusMan]

Here: Infernalis1's Channel - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/Infernalis1)

[RedSidedSPR]

I just said i subscribed.. but thanks.

Is there a way to keep it from destroying the quality of my videos?

[ConcinusMan]

Yes. There are a few tricks: Optimizing your video uploads - YouTube Help (http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=3Den&answer=132460)

[RedSidedSPR]

I kind of did all that... oh well. Guess they will have to suck.:D

They don't actually. They're not THAT bad.. they're just not HD.

[kibakiba]

If you want it to. I don't have mine set that way. I simply log into youtube (actually, I'm always logged in, i just open it) and it shows any new videos that have been posted on my subscriptions.



Yes, but for people who don't know or don't care, it doesn't matter. Of course, when you have a lot of subscriptions it gets really annoying and spam like in the inbox.

[RedSidedSPR]

Richard where does it say it? I have it on email setting, but id like to do It like you!

[kibakiba]

Where it says your name, it has 2 down arrows, click that and it'll show you a menu with your channel, videos and subscriptions... Press subscriptions and it'll show you a list.

[ConcinusMan]

I kind of did all that... oh well. Guess they will have to suck.:D

Actually, this is more important that the page I showed you: Supported YouTube file formats - YouTube Help (http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744)

If you don't know a lot about digital video this stuff probably won't make a lot of sense though.

Basically, the closer to the specs they convert to, the better. If a major change is needed, it's going to be "lossy" and take longer to process. If no, or little change is needed, then no loss of quality will occur and processing will be quick.

[RedSidedSPR]

I know enought about them to know what they are and stuff... but your right...:rolleyes:

[ConcinusMan]

Richard where does it say it? I have it on email setting, but id like to do It like you!


Account settings. Email options.

[RedSidedSPR]

Well I know how to not have the emails, but where would it alert me without them?

[kibakiba]

It doesn't. You have to check it in your subscriptions.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh... I see.

[ConcinusMan]

IDK about you but as soon as I go to youtube (logged in automatically) my subscriptions, and any new videos in them, show up right on the home page, and it's customizable.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh.. like, on your channel?

[kibakiba]

Mine don't, I get random videos that are from people I never heard of. I don't really care, though. They aren't getting any views from me!

[ConcinusMan]

Oh.. like, on your channel?

No. I mean like this. Here you can see the URL. As long as I'm logged in, it shows my subscriptions on the home page. You can see that a new one I haven't watched yet, has been added to "RayWilliamJohnson". Most other subscriptions are there too, but I can choose which ones appear on my home page.

[RedSidedSPR]

Huh. That doesnt work on mine.

[kibakiba]

Yeah, mine just shows a bunch of... I guess overly commercial videos, like for selling crap that doesn't work. I don't care too much though, since I just use my bookmark bar for that.

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh wait I see it!! Sorry, that was stupid not seeing it.

Chantel, I just clicked the big YOUTUBE logo which brought me home, and it IS there for me.

[kibakiba]

I have, I've been on youtube for like 5 years :p I don't care too much, because when I'm not watching a series, I just click on the subscriptions link and look.

[RedSidedSPR]

What sub link?

[kibakiba]

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/Subscription_link.JPG

[RedSidedSPR]

oh. That one.

Nevermind than.. once I realized mine DOES have it, It just seemed like that would be on everyones...

[ConcinusMan]

Huh. That doesnt work on mine.

Sure it does. Like I said, it's customizable. You have to set it up that way. And Chantel, the "random" videos you're talking about are usually "featured videos" or some other catagory. You can remove that catgory from the home page, and add your subscriptions instead. You have total control over what appears on the home page when you're logged in.

[kibakiba]

I guess it would be useful if I always typed "youtube.com" in the bar... I just use my bookmarks to load a video from a series I like then click subscriptions. Somehow, I just like it that way a lot better :p

[RedSidedSPR]

I found it Richard... I like this better. Bye-bye emails.

[RedSidedSPR]

Shows how much this forum educates people, cause there's a lot of garter snake channels on YouTube, but the only ones who know anything, are the ones who are members here.


Wayne and William's channels have been added to my subscriptions. the rest you above are already in there.

Wait a minute, that's not true! You didnt sub me!:D

Not that I care.

[ConcinusMan]

Check again

[RedSidedSPR]

I can't. Can't view subs until get a computer. I'll take your word for it.:D

Keeping with this months theme of contest, has anyone seen this clip?
Snake in the water.avi - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq1sdYlyva0)

I love it! Looks like a female Radix, or am I way off? Wonder what she was doing down there, she wasn´t exactly brumating I´d guess:)

[RedSidedSPR]

LOL!! I saw it and thought "what am I looking at??" than i realized it was under water!!! That's awesome!!!

[katach]

That was very cool!

[reptileparadise]

We have decided to start our own youtube channel as well (Thanks John ;) ) and we're pretty much clueless on what to post on there! There's a few short clips on there as we're still trying to figure things out (including the filming with a DSLR and 'editing' with Windows Movie Maker).

Would like to know though, what would you guys like to see from us @ crazyreptiles? Litters/Breeders/Set-up/Feeding?
Would you guys like it when we comment on this (with a heavy dutch accent of course ;) we all like that....) or simply with a bit of music?



Please have a look and let us know how/what/why!

Liked and commented. Very nice. Hungry scrubs.

[reptileparadise]

Thanks Steve! What do you think we should feature with this channel?

[guidofatherof5]

This a re-post to hjelte's post at the top of the page.
I love seeing how aquatic garter snakes are. Watching that snake on the bottom of the pond it seem as though it's dry land to the snake.
Awesome footage.

I think you should do a a little bit of everything. I'd like to hear you talk about it in the video too, if it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

[snake man]

I never knew they were that good at swimming makes me wanna get a bigger water dish :D

[guidofatherof5]

Awesome swimmers and fisher snakes. I love to watch garters fishing.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Awesome swimmers and fisher snakes. I love to watch garters fishing.It would be especially great to see a cuitzeoensis doing its fish luring technique.

[hjelte]

Resurrecting an older thread, here´s a rather pale-looking Concinnus (right?), doing what nature intended him to do ;)

Aquatic garter snake DIVES for fish - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6_5LNGkOXk&feature=related)

[ConcinusMan]

Cool. Yeah that looks like a snake from that NW corner of Oregon where I find anery's. That one sure is pretty. Goldfish... :rolleyes:

[hjelte]

Here´s some footage I shot today of my new checkered male. Notice how he devours the fish underwater:)
