Real time herping Instagram accounts

Post by Gekkotan »

Hey guys, does anyone here uses to post in Instagram stories videos while herping? Or can point anyone who does? I am getting kinda addicted to watching these kind of videos showing herps in situ as found or just the act of looking for them. Thanks in advance

There really is a ton of content out there.

My Instagram, @jakeleesnakes, is of medium quality. However, if you look at some of the people that account follows, like @z_e_herping and @chadmlane, you’ll see really high quality (mostly CA focused) stuff. A lot of those accounts are photos after being found. YouTube has a lot of incredible content of “live” field herping. There is a lot of sensationalist stuff too that does more harm than good, but channels like Biology Brandon and Schechter Natural History do a great job of combining ethical herping with natural history. Both of those have Instagram accounts as well. Once you find a few you like, you can usually see who they follow and find similar content.
