*This is sulphuric acid, use gloves* --- Next shot --- **Emily not using gloves while using product.**

[@SnakeDiscovery]

I like adding a little risk into my life 😂 (in all honesty I never wear gloves when using pH down. But for liability reasons I figured I'd suggest wearing gloves when using it)

[@Purin1023]

@Enderguin58 The youtuber Sulfuric acid isn't really that dangerous to skin. Worst case scenario you'll get some pretty dry hands and a little stinging if it stays on too long. Its not like it will eat away at your flesh or anything. (At least not unless you're soaking your hands in it for hours at a time) Looking at the safety data sheet for pH down it looks like its only about a 10% concentration of sulfuric acid. That is pretty safe all things considered. Look up a youtuber named Nile Red. He has a video of him dunking his hands in a bunch of concentrated acids and you can see that they don't cause very much damage.

[@SkyeRequiem001]

@Enderguin58 The youtuber It's really not very dangerous, dry hands are probably as bad as you'll get with dilute H2SO4, maybe have your skin peel if you're using it a lot. If you have particularly thin or sensitive skin it might be problematic, but that's the same story as a lot of "toxic" plants, in which some people have to wear gloves or they'll get a bad reaction and others can handle them freely without ever noticing an issue.

[@ZinniaLP]

@Enderguin58 The youtuber were you using ph down or straight up sulfuric acid? Cause there is a big difference

Pennies work well in small dishes but I use a copper pipe section in my Horse water trough.

[@soarrefly]

If you put a penny in a dog's water bowl it might get swallowed 👎

[@rdizzy1]

As long as they make sure they are older pennies, dogs and cats can easily get zinc poisoning from post 1982 pennies, even just 1 penny can poison a cat or small dog.

Emily: so these pennies kill bacteria and viruses Me: well, time to sprinkle these copper pennies on the road, stores, and even some in my pockets just to be safe!

[@Icewind007]

Additional tip for the pennies: If you find 1982 pennies, you can tell if they are copper or not by dropping them on a hard surface (like granite) and the copper will make a distinctive melodious ringing sound and the zinc ones will make a more clanking sound. You can make sure you hear the sound difference by dropping a pre and post 1982 coin. Also, copper pennies are slightly heavier (3.11g copper to 2.5g zinc) if you have a scale precise enough.

[@jesusbeloved3953]

Enderguin58 The youtuber who!

[@filthyanimal]

Hey just a tip! Don't rinse filter media in the sink water, get a bag of the same tank water and wring it out in that bag's water and put it back (not the water, it's poopy, dispose of it!)-- if you rinse it in the sink you're killing good bacteria with chlorine! You really want that good bacteria more than anything else :x Otherwise you run the risk of cycling the tank and hurting the fish more. I've never used these filter packs you show, I personally can just wring out sponges/filters in the tank water occasionally and it's been good for years with the same media. n.n; Though I might try adding one of these to one of my tanks to see if there's any visible change! It's definitely a nicer alternative to the disposable ones which are wasteful and also throw out good bacteria. Also I'll have to try the penny trick for my crestie. He's really bad about pooing in his water :|

[@jenniferdurham4749]

filthyanimal If we’re on a well, we don’t have to worry about water additives like chlorine.

[@kgrilley895]

I just came to say this as well. I usually rinse my media out in the buckets of waste water from my tank. Using multiple buckets if needed. Even if they are on a well, the running water could flush enough of the beneficial bacteria out to mess up your cycle and cause it to crash. That being said I love your channel. It shows that you try to do the very best for your animals.

[@davidgonzalez-mv4wl]

You can rinse your mechanical media in tap water just not your biological media

lol same here except hognose and ball python. I got a hognose about a month ago and my partner just brought home his new ball python last weekend. We got both from a lady who is downsizing her "collection" (I don't particularly like that word because they're living creatures, not like...stamps or pokemon cards). My hognose wasn't happy about the presence of cats, and the python didn't like being in the rack with the other pythons (who all seem perfectly happy in there, but miss thang was like "nuh uh! Get me out of here.") So we're trying to give them both living situations that they'll like better. So far, my little guy seems to be thriving. My guy's new little lady is doing a massive grump, though.

[@illoney5663]

Try to start with something small and calm, so long as your mother doesn't have ophidiophobia, a few good experience should convince her that her statement is silly(though no guarantees she will admit it). Also worth noting; if your place is large enough, dedicating a separate room to reptiles would make it very easy for her to visit without even seeing the snake, sometimes you might even see the enclosure and not realise there's a snake there, depending on the species and your specific snake. Hope this helps! PS. Based on what you said about how your mom said she "wouldn't visit" if you had one, I am presuming you don't live at home. If you live at home, getting any animal without your parents being ok with it is a bad idea.

Is copper toxicity a concern? It messes up the liver in affected animals.

[@Smokecall]

I'm actually wondering the same thing

[@SupernovaBetty]

I’m concerned about this as well especially with small animals or amphibians. I definitely would not do this with frogs or toads.

[@biggoofybastard]

"Copper toxicity is a type of metal poisoning caused by an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus can occur from eating acidic foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware, or from exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources." That last part would make me nervous about doing it.

[@kteztum5139]

Copper isn't that dangerous in form of metal for animals. Shrimps and snails are really sensitive to copper cause of their blood. But simply by putting copper in water nothing will happend. You would need to put current through copper so it can ionize, to disolve enough copper to kill even shrimp. In low doses nothing should happend altough I wouldnt reccomend using copper bowls/tanks if you are keeping snails/shrimps/crabs.

[@ScooterFXRS]

Copper pipes are used to deliver water in a LARGE % of homes in North America. So by proxy you have already exposed them and I don't think there has been wide spread deaths reported of any creatures. However when you have stupid people run low Ph water thru lead pipes, AKA Flint, MI, well you know the out come of that.

It looks like "Dump Dinners", which is a style of cooking.

[@alliequinn8401]

Dump Dinners.. Party with Emily and Ed

[@meniaguevara6619]

Love your videos always happy to see you posted new ones .. can help but notice the cooking book in the back “dump dinners” lol love it !!

[@loriboone4871]

These are great ideas, thank you! And while getting a reptile is still on the wish list, and not feasible yet, these tips are great for cleaning in general and caring for my pups with some modifications. So thanks again. 😁

[@shaphillips1759]

Ive been looking for the purigen packs!!!! Couldnt figure out what you used on the turtle/gator tanks.!!

[@kiwi328]

Hi emily i really want a pet snake but cant get one becuase my mom says we have to feed it live mice and she does not want to see it but you can feed it frozen mice right?

[@finn3815]

Yea you can! But does she just not wanna see dead mice either way?

[@Yvraadri1]

yeah they can be fed frozen thawed mice

[@omartorres5699]

Yes you can feed frozen or live she has a video on wich one she would recommend

[@kiwi328]

Ok thanks guys 0_o

[@SlightlyAlive.]

i would recommend a corn snake, they are often friendly, normaly take frozen thawed and eat smaller meals as compared to a ball python.

[@angelinanicole7135]

I love your videos so much, my sister and I are planning to get a pet snake when we move out, but before we do that, we have been trying to learn as much as we can so we can properly take care of them, so I just wanted to say thank you for all of the things you are teaching us. (We have agreed to wait on getting the snake until we have a proper setup and understanding of what they would need)

[@Sara-uq3tc]

Even though I don't have any reptiles I still love watching your channel. Amazing job!! I love it!!

[@alligaytor4253]

I want a snake so badly, my parents both are fine with snakes, but they just don’t want anymore animals in the house. So that’s sad :P

[@vincetravis8701]

Feels bad man. I wouldn't push it too much, but snakes take very little room (like really, my barely 5 inch turtle takes up waaaay more room than a corn snake or a ball python would) and they are pretty cheap to care for. I understand your parents tho. Mine are the same way with me, lol.

[@robinjabroni7006]

Would the copper harm the reptiles though? Especially if it's over a long period. I know you're not supposed to use it in aquariums because it can be harmful to fish.

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Robin Jabroni That’s the other reason to continue swapping water. It will leach slowly into the water, a little won’t hurt, but a lot of copper in the water would.

[@The_OG_Kimmi]

no

[@QWERTYOP80]

Yes. Copper poisoning eventually over long term use could be a problem. I saw her put out a video today & she still does this. I really hope she realises it’s not a good idea in the long run.

[@DarkWidget]

@@QWERTYOP80 Yea had the same thought when I saw this, sad tho because it's amazing

[@luauraa]

I own snails not reptiles I still watch all they’re videos because I love them

[@michaelbooher3793]

Absolutely Great tip. With the penny..thank you Ed and Emily !

[@sabrinacozine8]

Is the PH trick safe for using in my crested gecko enclosure, the got the terrarium second hand and I spent quite a few days spanned over a month of trying to get hard water buildup off the inside with a 50/50 vinegar water solution and it worked okay, but id love to get it cleaner.

[@gameoftanks6503]

Sabrina Cozine it is perfectly safe, just remember to use a clean sponge with water to wipe off the cleaner once it has sat! I use it for my tanks that I buy used

[@Iamunoriginal2]

Carbon actually isn't beneficial for the aquarium aside from avoiding bad smells (as if you got dying plants it will give off that 'fish store' smell). Purigen is that much better in comparison as it serves as a better surface area.

[@C4rL72]

that penny hack was great info, Im from UK and here we have 1p and 2p which since 1992 those pennies are coated with copper. So anyone in the UK use your old 1p and 2ps. Ill soak mine in apple cider vinegar for a day or so rinse and then hot glue/silicone one in my snake water dish :)

[@hannahwalters3602]

Thank you. Have a blessed day

[@TylerPhilolius]

What if the reptile swallows the penny??? Is that even a possibility lol

[@riekapotato]

That was what I was thinking 😂

[@gurinderhunjan900]

its heavy and would sink i guess, so i don't think they would be able to.

[@Skeletor8387]

Doesn’t realize it’s Friday and today snake discovery will post.... (goes to creek) snake discovery: posts me: enternaly dies inside

[@lianacurrivan6068]

Thank you so much for this video!! The penny trick will be great for my snake and me!! Please make more!!

[@KuvaPefo]

What a goldmine of quality info!! Thanks!
