Hello! I adopted DaVinci. His tremors are already 3x better thanks to 1-2 hours of outside time a week ❤️

[@karen_3]

Omggg so happy to hear that 🧡 Thank you for adopting him, may you enjoy your time together 🦎

[@ZeFroz3n0ne907]

That's so awesome! Glad he's doing good!

[@thisnthatmamma1617]

Such good news!!

[@reiherptilelover]

That’s awesome! DaVinci is the one that on the adoption livestream, I think. Thank you so much for sharing this happy news with us!

[@callabeth258]

Yay!!! Thanks for the update!

[@ehthecuteone]

Mad props to that sweet young lady who sold enough snake skin jewelry to pay for her flights and hotel room! I’m so happy her jewelry sold for so much ❤

[@thegriffin88]

I actually got a little misty eyed over that. I wish I had her confidence when I was her age. Good to know that when I leave this world it's going to be in good hands.

[@tomeeshahaller4226]

That painting of the viper is gorgeous. I can't even imagine how many hours it must've taken Adeline to create.

[@buffya8012]

Absolutely stunning!!,I’d say weeks or months not hours, as a painter myself!

[@amberbound4739]

Emilly, Ed. You guys should do another "Where our babies are now" video. The last one was like 3 years ago and we need a update on DA BABIES!!

[@rat_dragon]

I've been wanting this for so long lol

[@shestewa6581]

That little girl’s snake shed jewellery getting such a high price will be a core memory for her her entire life of something she’s done to help others. Especially since she hopes to get reptiles when she grows up. Not to necessarily benefit herself right now. Her parents - and you: Emily and Ed, with your influence - really formed and created an amazing human being there. And I think she’s going to have that memory to fall back on, reminding her how great she is, for a century (or even a millennia at this point) to come. Internet will maybe last forcever, but in that little girl you’ve made a personal influence that will last until the next century, and beyond as she likely tells the story of that day on. You’ve touched lives and culture massively across generations. You’ve gained immortality. ❤

[@katiekane5247]

I wish I had someone to send sheds to. I'm not crafty lol

[@tammyfrancis7856]

@@katiekane5247I hope you find someone. Keep posting that you have them on snake discovery videos, someone will contact you. Or send them to Emily, she might make it.

@@katiekane5247 I'd suggest checking locally, I'm sure you could find an artist interested working with you! :D

The little girl selling her jewelry at auction for over $3000 made me cry a little bit! I can't even imagine how amazing she must have felt! I would have been bawling right up on that stage!

[@EsmeMarion]

bless the heart of the little girl making snake skin jewelry AND using the funds to both come to the show and donating some to the auction!

[@Tesstundra53219]

Ed & Emily, Chester the Ball Python (now called Spinner) is doing great ! Thank you for bringing him to Tinley. He is such a sweetheart, I love him.

[@joelbartley6172]

My family and I saw your line at Tinley. We thought your line was the admittance line at first. lol. It was great to see how dedicated your fans are. You two seem very genuine. Keep up the good work

Emily's really the Walker.

[@lucycantoya-xb7hd]

[@TG-nd9rj]

because it was raining they probably just filmed a "skit" on that stretch of road to make it fluid and funny lmao but I'd absolutely believe she'd do it

[@kinosgarden]

What a world we live in when walking can be considered an expression of a quirky personality

[@rat_dragon]

@@TG-nd9rj yeah definitely a skit, but funny as always

[@Suzu_Cat]

The hitchhiking skit in the beginning was adorable. You two are such funny and sweet and creative people. ❤

[@alishaking482]

WOW!! $3100 ... that little lady should be so proud of herself.. that's just amazing.. and congratulations to you adn Ed for being such role models that she was able to learn from you how to make her jewelry and for putting conservation and freedom to keep reptiles in her heart.. as a momma, my heart is just melting.

[@paranoiarpincess]

As someone who also identifies as an artist, the four hours on one small area is so real it isn't even funny! I am currently working on a creepy Halloween theater mask for my kid's Halloween costume. I'm so proud of it!

[@buffya8012]

Oh definitely ! I’ve spent hours just on different shades of blue in one small area!! This must have taken her quite a while,it was absolutely stunning!!

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

Good for you! I was afraid to draw or anything artistic for most of my life (kid-hood crud 😒🤷‍♀️) but have now found I have talent, and LOVE it. My daughter though... she's why I finally broke through my fears and DREW. SHE has ALWAYS had passion for it. Now as a teen, she has creativity, talent, passion, and PATIENCE 😂. It's the patience and dedication that will take her SO FAR in her passion. To sit still and work on EYES for HOURS... I'm so full of respect for her! ALL artists deserve so much RESPECT 🥰

[@EJaramillo]

I do adult coloring and dabble in painting and I literally spent an entire day on coloring a nighttime galaxy sky. Holy moly painting and coloring take ages of time.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

My medium is fiber, but so true! When I'm designing, particularly a "toy" vs a garment, it can take hours of trying stitch combinations to get the exact right look I'm going for... and no one but other artists will understand the time & mental energy.

[@emerythegremlin5727]

I made two mushroom hats for me and my partner’s Halloween costumes and it took me a whole week! Art is definitely a very time-consuming hobby/job

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

First a proposal now a wedding! The reptile community is so wholesome. Also that one lady hugging the bag like a baby was adorable.

[@smarttechaddict]

Ed and Emily, my snake phobia controlled my life, even where I could honeymoon. I'm late 40s. I found you in 2020, you have transformed my life, I now follow you and Brian and excited to see the babies and the even the bites as you make me see it's not the end of the world if they bite. Thank you.

[@ShannonMD306]

Thank you for helping me have more of a appreciation for reptiles. And not so much of a fear of them.

[@ladani2007]

I was afraid of snake too. Until I found many in my yard and I searched in you tube . I found her and watched a lot of her video. It's incredible how the fear went away when I started to understand them. I'm so glad for Emily and her videos

[@morganjohns1033]

sometimes i like to think about what the people in the rooms next to Ed and Emily might think if they knew that just next door is literally dozens of snakes, lizards, cockroaches, tarantulas, and other assorted creatures 💀 they probably hear her cooing and baby talking and think she’s talking to a puppy but really it’s a couple of hissing cockroaches who’s grandparents went to space

[@leekestner1554]

You bring us so much joy it is just natural for everyone to want to return it to you. I was fascinated by snakes and lizards and toads as a kid but my mother was terrified of snakes so I never explored that. I have always rescued turtles and frogs off the roads so they wouldn't be killed and taken young cold garter snakes away from my cats to warm up in my shirt pocket. Never thought about keeping them until I started watching you guys.

Amazing that she got so much support for her jewelry!

Hey Ed and Emily! A fellow Dutch fan here. The art submitted for the auction from the Netherlands is not a garter snake, but a grass snake! :) It's one of our native snakes, also known as Natrix natrix.

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Ohhh that's great to know! Thank you for the clarification. Guess we have to go herping in Europe to see one in person now!

[@idiotically-everything]

​@@SnakeDiscoveryYes, they also play dead. You can even find them in Finland, along with the other native snake, my beloved spicy friend, the Common European Adder, Vipera berus

[@madhatterally1046]

I know of a seller who was at the Tinley show who made a thermometric coin. The bare bones description of the coin is that. The coin starts gray then moves to orange a certain temperature and red when it could be considered too hot (like there could be a fire or burns hot).

[@willowkeyes2348]

Lily and Larry! GOSH I loved those lizards and snakes and frogs so much

[@Phoenixftm]

The little girl’s story reminds of the moment I overcame my fear of snakes. My dad and I had to feed my cousins snake (humorously named Fuzzy), but I was scared, especially when it snapped the baby mouse. My dad insisted I feed it too, so I held the frozen mouse low enough for Fuzzy to grab. Instead of snapping at me, it somehow sensed my fear and slowly moved as it gently grabbed its food. That’s when I realized snakes can show compassion. Now I want one of my own, but my apartment won’t allow reptiles. Instead, I got to spoil my sister’s bearded dragon, Indy (short for Indiana Jones). He loves “breathing fire” at us when he’s upset.

[@Silver_wind_1987_]
