Attending a Huge Reptile Expo in Tinley Park!! (NARBC 2024)

[@hazelmaple]

I miss these shows where you guys show more vendors and their stuff. Normally you guys only get an hour to look around at the end because of the meet and greets but I l hope we get more of this vendor stuff

[@anniewallace3601]

Me too! So fun!

[@joellenpaull3294]

I do prefer this video over the other reptile shows you put out.

[@Akakko1]

agreed

[@teijaflink2226]

This was a really fun video. I like that they showed some animals too.

[@OnlineDisguise]

I also agree. The longer the video, the happier I am tbh, so if they did that as well as what they did in this video it would be awesome.

[@amandadavidson5819]

I'm sure this comment will be missed, but I adopted "Drake" in the August adopt-a-thon. His name is Rune now, and I'm so happy to share that as of today his belly scale rot is all gone!!! We've been doing baths with betadine regularly and I've had 2 great (almost full) sheds from him! He is just the sweetest boy!

[@amandadavidson5819]

I'm also going to get him shed tested because he looks like no other pastel I've ever seen

[@Amish5226]

Congrats on the belly scale rot being gone now! Also I love the new name you gave him.

[@SomeOne-zw6kh]

What was he exactly??

[@ameliaconnick5474]

Yay glad he has a good home.

[@chellesama8256]

I'm glad Rune is doing better, thanks to you!

[@chrysmenchue1246]

Since you already have a dwarf named Dimond you could go the pokemon route and name the other two pearl and platinum.

[@DragonLover]

OMG YES!!!!!

[@jessicapeyton8933]

You might not remember me but I was at that show. I was the super awkward girl by the hognoses at the end of the show on Saturday. But you said hi to me when you saw me freaking out. That meant so much 😁 thank you Emily

[@jessicapeyton8933]

Yeah just anxiety. I did muster up the strength to say hi back lol​@@Lex-rc2xj

[@m00nlight_theriangirl]

may i ask was it in the video or no?

[@jessicapeyton8933]

​@@m00nlight_theriangirlit was not

[@jessicapeyton8933]

​@@m00nlight_theriangirl it was not

[@abigailross1890]

I'm glad you got to see more of the show. I def think you should make a habit of pushing back the meet and greets or closing it a bit early to assure you can see the show. Im sure your fans would understand.

[@EJaramillo]

Agreed!!

[@rachaelwhelchel8176]

I agree, y'all work too hard to not get to see the show.

[@sheHerTheyThem]

Amelia,thank you for adopting Bobby, the name of my son,who's birthday is the 25th.He would have been 32 but we lost him 7 years ago. Hearing his name,and seeing someone so lovely adopt a Bobby,makes me so happy in my grief. Our Bobbys nickname was Pooh Bear. Sending you all a happy raising of your new family member. And much love ❤to you and Bobby and the people of Snake Discovery and the fans .

[@Reptiles4Life212]

Aw I’m sorry to hear that! I can’t believe I got in the video I am so happy!!❤

[@sheHerTheyThem]

@@Reptiles4Life212 I am so happy you got in the video too! It truly was a gift to me, seeing this. Funny how the universe works 🫶

[@SomeOne-zw6kh]

My brother had a LG called Bobby, and my mom used to call me Pooh Bear hah. Just thought the multiple coincidences were kinda interesting lol.

[@sheHerTheyThem]

@@SomeOne-zw6kh thank you so much for sharing 🫶I love this! It really does feel like my son is here with me ,in so many little ways ,when these coincidences happen. Especially when it's close to his birthday,or the day he passed. It is like so many other people remind me of the ways I can find joy in almost like a " hidden Mickey " kind of way..just finding all the special ways he appears. He was fascinated with the Fibonacci sequence and now I get to find it in places.and I'm reminded of him in nature and different ways. Thank you for sharing your story. It really is a way to help me move through my grief 🫶🫂

Garrett’s passion for his retics is super engaging. Great to learn about them!

[@AdornThyHeadset]

I love his educational enthusiasm!

[@khills]

Reach Out Reptiles is a really fantastic KZbin channel, and Garrett is super engaged with comments. It’s not a snake I’ll ever own, but it’s absolutely a channel I’m passionate about promoting to others (and supporting in general). He’s as enthusiastic there as you saw in this video, with the bonus of his family (really cute kids) and employees. If you enjoyed this, definitely check his channel out!

[@akiriith]

I really missed the Tinleys with a focus on the vendors. I know meeting up with fans is nice, but as a viewer seeing more of the community is far more interesting 😅 especially being able to let them *talk* about their passions instead of a 15 second cameo :')

[@Karalievaa]

So calmly talking about mbk's while being nommed on.

[@lilbasenji1]

I suggest Lemonade and Limeade for the lemon ghost hogs.

[@ShowMeLoveFilms]

FREAKING LOVE THIS IDEA!

[@luka_boi]

27:26 They’ve got their fingers dipped in all of the kinds of snakes to breed at this point and I love it

[@MaddieSmith]

Thank you for presenting our awards!! We are making a special place for them in our house :) And thanks for showing off my shirt, lol. It was definitely a huge hit

[@Vickie-Bligh]

May you never lose your enthusiasm, Emily. It fun, amusing, and refreshing. Thank you for accepting the gifts people send, make, and give you. It's a way to say thanks for all the joy you give us, your fans. You both make my heart smile. I may never be able to get a snake (due to circumstances) but I get to enjoy watching them through you two. Thanks so much, Ed & Emily.

[@Reptiles4Life212]

Ahhh THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME IN THE VIDEO OMG!!!❤❤ Bobby Is doing great and eating well❤❤

[@kaleshabastion2332]

I swear whenever they say "you don't have to give us gifts" people add extra gifts haha.

[@arrow21OG]

The Jeffery shirt with the anti venom quote made me laugh so hard! Love it!!

[@alteria2714]

Same! To pretty much anyone else they wouldnt understand, but all who know...

[@emvb087]

​@@alteria2714 .... Antivenom is for... 🤐

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

Yeah I caught that too!

[@fitariflair]

​@@emvb087i think it's more about the guy getting all his snakes and other reptiles killed because he was being an idiot (choosing to handle a venomous snake while not keeping the anti venom because "i just won't get bit because I'm MANLY") and probably causing harmful legislation to be passed that will negatively impact the reptile community

[@MaddieSmith]

Thank you ;D It was definitely a huge hit

[@brirousseau7286]

I really appreciate that you included home made merch for this meet and greet. You guys are always thinking of ways to be inclusive.

[@luanateive1099]

It’s so incredible how far snake discovery has come. I’ve been watching since the kitchen videos and Rex in a plastic kid’s pool. You guys always inspired my love for reptiles and I hope someday I can have a bunch as pets, but it’s so uncommon here in Brazil 😢

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Snakeful Grace is such a sweet person. I’ve had the privilege of interacting with her on socials a few times and she’s always been so friendly and she’s so patient in her comment sections too. I’m looking forward to seeing the future lemon babies y’all produce. Also, the new beauty of a retic… she looks like a gemstone. You already have a Diamond, so can we call her Citrine??? A gemstone theme for the retics? Pretty please with hognose kisses on top?

[@quinnthurston8827]

The zoom in on the taipan anti-venom comment was perfect

[@fitariflair]

I started laughing crying because i was so surprised to see it on a shirt 😂

[@creperanch8968]

@@fitariflair Was going to comment this until i saw yours, i had a dark chuckle to myself at that! Being Australian i cannot fathom anyone thinking free handling taipans as being a good idea

[@khills]

I had to back up and make sure I saw what I saw before I had a good laugh. Cuz SERIOUSLY, that whole thing…

[@AA-rn3hl]

I absolutely need to know where they got that shirt, and what's on the front, I cracked up when I saw it

[@Spellbound_Rose]

I love how these videos always begin with Emily aggressively shaking Ed awake. She’s so excited and I love the passion!!! 🐍💚

[@alexholman6662]

Emily -"We'll just cut that part out". Proceeds to not caught that part out 😂

[@ayiti4009]

This part pas where? I think I'm missing it

[@tsuchinico_art]

Yes! More community highlights and sharing animals at shows--I want to continue to live vicariously through your videos since traveling to shows to attend in person is difficult.

[@klbriceno1]

oh my gosh, that person with the shirt that had the tweet from "he who shall not be named" looking for antivenin was really funny. I CANNOT believe someone sold that guy another venomous snake after everything that happened. Anyway, love the video. I can't wait to be able to go to a show one day!

[@Slappyhappy-c8n]

It was confirmed they didn’t and he was releasing old footage to rage bait.

[@klbriceno1]

@@Slappyhappy-c8n I really hope you are right, because I knew about him releasing old footage, but that someone had sold him another venomous, like within the last month,. So again, I really really hope you are right. I think Adam Wickens released a video stating the same thing. I hope he is wrong too. I can't wait till this is just a faint memory for the hobby.

[@enjorlas_]

3:19 that baby albino mexican black king snake is too cute.

[@MysticDrake-hp8qz]

Super show!!! Good for you!! Its a change from the Sacramento one where you seemed to have the worst luck ever.... Now name suggestions as requested: 1 - Cornsnake Amel Sunkissed: Blaze (type of rose -lavender theme) 2 - Cornsnake Superamel Anery: Jasmine (flower -lavender theme) 3 - Hognose Lemon Ghost Conda: Eureka/Lumia (types of lemon) 4 - Hognose Red Woma: Celosia (type of flower also called 'Dragon's Breath' - analogous to 'Red Woma') 5 - Mexican Black Kingsnake Het Albino (x3): F: Ixchel (mayan for rainbow lady) M: Itzam (mayan for grandfather nectar) F: Nicte (mayan for plumeria flower) 6 - House snake Albino: Santorini (Where to find white houses lol) 7 - Superdwarf Retic Platinum Anery: Citrine since she is yellow/Opal/Sphene (gemstone theme) 8 - Superdwarf Retic Platinum poss Het Anery: Garnet/Jasper/Obsidian/Pyrite/Zyrcon Hard to say since I have not seen him. (gemstone theme) I hope it gives you ideas! :)

[@keiyakins]

Emily just talking about MBKs while the baby tries to eat her is funny as heck.

[@SebasTian-od7oz]

Anyone else noticed at 15:32 an onward the white snake always wanting to get over to Garreth, their breeder? 🥰 And Emily had to keep pulling the snake back... 😂

I absolutely loved this video. I miss the reptile shows where you all show more of the shows, I loved the educational piece with the dwarf pythons which I have missed as well. Overall great video!

Thats stunning that paradox pied het albino

I love this channel all the ways they do videos and I don’t think anything should change, ever. Just keep being your authentic selves and showing your naturally exciting lives. Much love from Oregon!!!

[@trysarahtopps]

I got a baby black house snake a month ago. It's so great. Very chill, has never freaked out or struck even though it's only an 8g baby. Not missed a single meal either for me yet. And SO pretty in the sunlight.

[@nova6339]

Loved the subtle Jeff Leibowitz shade lmao

[@smoothknyte]

lol I saw that too. frickin bonehead.

[@lindabenny4454]

You both deserve the goodies so much, great video, greeting from the UK.

[@Snakeskii]

That Corgi pin from Gallery Geckos is designed by a friend of mine, Alesia from Robot Dragon Studios. She has a lot of corgi and dragon art and pins, including plushies! (I've been trying to get her to do a snake for a few years too!) If you google the name it should come right up if folks want a corgi pin of their own!

[@nintendobratkat]

Thank you for showing me this! It's so exciting to see a pin I designed in the wild haha.

[@kitsune_owo378]

Snakeful grace is awesome! I got to work with them at their booth last time they came to Philadelphia, truely great and genuine people!! 💖 I didnt have a big job but I had a super fun time handling their embassador animal!!

[@alyssafox5249]

I'm glad you guys spent time with Garret from Reach Out Reptiles. Retics are my favorite, and I only recently found ROR and love them! Years ago, when I got my retic, I couldn't find many channels about retics, so I'm glad I found them.

[@leahpetrick6958]

It’s so cool to see so many people that come to the meet& greet just to see y’all . Maybe one day I can come meet y’all . That day y’all were in Texas and stopped at the mirror restrooms in Sulphur Springs. I was so excited that y’all was in my town

[@reiherptilelover]

It’s so great to see all of smiles on everyone’s faces 😃 11:12 Ohh I voted for you and your enclosure is Amazing!! Love the theme and detailed design of it❤️ Congratulations 🎉

[@Dolce.Banana]

That SD suit looks amazing ❤❤

[@anthonybateman7527]

Great video to see you going around and seeing show for yourselves. That super dwarf is absolutely beautiful ❤❤

[@teijaflink2226]

Looks awesome and tiny for for a reticulated python.

[@peterrobson7525]

I think one of the super dwarf snakes should be called Pluto and the other one Ceres since they are both dwarf planets officially which just makes sense to me

[@Slmayne2005]

Super gigantic hognose playing dead lol accidently takes out the kitchen table😂

[@J-_-]

Imagining a hognose the size of a full-grown retic made me laugh quite a bit.

[@Inconsistent-Dogwash]

The UK is very proud of your fans making their own line/queue.

[@coffee_gaming]

I love house snakes, I'm lucky enough to live in their native range in south africa I had a adult pair and named them fred and wilma from the flintstone cartoons.

[@xsmartinex]

Hii thanks to your videos I am officially a hognose mami of 2 xD A breeder at an expo was selling a pair, soo i made a hard (not so hard) decision to go big and adopt 2 baby hognoses!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ahhhhh im so exciteed!!!!! I named them Rosalie and Emmett (heheh if u know u know) Sending lots of love to Emily, Ed and the rest of the snake discovery family!!! I enjoy your videos sooo soo much ❤❤❤❤

[@TehBuggy]

I always love seeing Garrett, Reach Out Reptiles is a great resource and he’s so hilarious! 😂 I think this is the first time I’ve seen Geckos Etc Herpetoculture on your channel. I almost bought a hognose from them last month but I got a sketchy feeling from them so I chose someone else.

[@elodee3]

@8:31 Oh nooo not the Jeffrey Leibowitz shirt 😂😂

[@brandibastian4193]

So I'm watching this video on my phone I will tell you 6 days ago I found a kitten in my neighborhood and I'm definitely keeping it because my cat is finally accepting it they're both napping on my bed while I'm watching this and my dumbass just applauded the $10,000 bid on the guitar and woke up the kitten! 🙀

[@Aemirys]

Im eo happy to see a return to you both experiencing the show! ❤

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

You guys do an insane amount of meet and greets. I live close by and always feel bad when i see you and catch you for a chat but its always a pleasure. I doubt you remember me but last year at the Hastings show i held one of your ball pythons for the first time as my very first snake interaction. It was the only place i could find that would let someone hold snakes for sale/adoption and i wanted to do it before committing to one because I've always been afraid of snakes. It was a fantastic experience and now I'm completely in love with my bp and want more reptiles. You do amazing work not only for the animals but for people. 💚

[@asdeathmorgan2371]

Awe I'm jelly. My dream snake is a pied retric. As soon as you showed that beautiful snake I was like 😢 I don't even have any reptiles, I just think retics are so freaking adorable

[@schaschia6332]

im kinda sorry for some of these fans. they are so caught off-guard by the camera sometimes. As always the vendors and show in general looks absolutely amazing!

[@kittybun8845]

I've been looking forward to this video. I was planning on vending this expo, but my dad got sick and needed more help at home.

[@caitlinsplayhouse4173]

“Cool scarf dude” “Yeah I bred it myself” 😭✋

[@adventuresingoatfarming6754]

Emily, I was the first person in at Hastings . And yes you do exist. Anyway the baby red foot is doing well. And today I stopped by and adopted a Sulcata. What a beautiful tortoise 🐢 ❤

[@raekorb3081]

ECW always has good names for his snakes. His breeder corns I have heard of have "B" names like Bazzel, Belinda, Bam, and Benny so maybe keep that tradition. I got a yearling from him and named it Bowser. Some other good B names are Blaze, Brock, Barry, and Bernadette.

[@-NightAngel]

For the super retics, since you already have diamond you could name them after card suits. Heart and Spade. or you could have precious stones like Ruby and Garnet

[@shannen7917]

So happy you got to see more of the show this time! Love when you get to speak with vendors and learn more about what is out there so that we can learn too. Plus it’s fun to see you having fun with your friends ☺️

[@Nad-p1e]

Guys so I also went to the NRBC thing and I got a snow corn snake and I named him Olaf

[@Hollydolly-wz6rd]

The albino MBK is such a cutey! He looked shy. My baby corn wraps like that but round my wrist. She likes to be fed like that too. Baby noods are cookie! 😍🐍

[@IDK_whattocallthischanel]

for the male super dwarf, my sister has always wanted to name a snake salazar! and for the girl bellatrix

[@SunnyDee13]

I was at this show, and I saw you and Ed walking around on sunday! I would have stopped to say hi, but i got distracted looking at all the awesome animals. I bought my own little hognose snake from JMG reptiles! This channel is the reason I've wanted one for so long, and Im so happy to finally have one of my own.
