There is nothing better than Where is Waldo, Snake discovery style at 6 o'clock in the morning. Also, the thoughtful parents proof once again that the snake discovery Fandom is awesome and one of the most friendly communities I have ever known.

[@blue_butterfly645]

In England it’s called where’s Wally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@x_nekomew_x]

​@@blue_butterfly645 Well here in the USA, where snake discovery is located, it's called where's Waldo.

[@Azul_skies]

the 12k hognose at the tinley show was a solar storm(super conda sable albino) if anyone was wondering I also passed on it due to price but i didn't know it was a world first! it was cool seeing it

[@asher9609]

I think my science teacher is a fan of you guys.. Today she made an entire science activity that was Where's Waldo themed with reptiles included in it.. I loved it. So much.

[@joans3699]

As a science teacher, I would love more information about this activity if possible. Sounds awesome

[@asher9609]

@@joans3699 we were learning about body systems and my teacher wanted to make it more interesting since we were a day ahead of the other classes, so we just learned a lot about reptiles' body functions and systems. Other than the people who don't like snakes, just about everyone enjoyed it, and my teacher made a Where's Waldo thing with a snake Waldo-- it was kinda funny. sadly that about the best way I could describe the lesson since I'm not too good with those kinds of things :>

You’re lucky, sounds like a really awesome teacher!

You guys are so committed to your fans. It's really cool. It's also really cool of those people to tell everyone to stop the line so you could get a break. I imagine standing meeting person after person for 4 hours is mentally and socially draining

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

1. Seeing a breeder who specializes in axanthic ball pythons has made my weekend. 2. That is indeed a monstera deliciosa, that is a generous gift! 3. All the Waldos also made my weekend.

I know she loves everything, but it seems to me that she's so overwhelmed with it all that she doesn't really know what to say, other than thank you. She has definitely become a celebrity in the reptile nerd community. 🤓

The daughter of a friend also watches your channel. Second time I met her, she was really shy still, until I brought up Snake Discovery. She brightened and chatted more, since we found common ground with such a great channel.

[@JT-hr6dq]

I absolutely adore both of you. I own felines not reptiles, but I so enjoy your videos. Your passion about reptiles and education is inspiring.

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

Me too!

[@currentlevelofadulting5273]

Haha same here!!

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

Absolutely! I’ve got a doggo rather than any reptiles, but watching Emily and Ed talk about them will NEVER get old! I especially enjoy the rescue stories and seeing the individual care they provide to each critter that comes in, along with their policy of not judging people who have to surrender their reptiles! I hope I’m never in a position where I can’t take care of my dog, but if it ever did come down to that, I would hope I could find somebody like them to get him to somewhere loving and safe!

[@lindsayschmidt2177]

Those axanthic ball pythons are so gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever fully appreciated the morph until I saw JD’s animals in this video. Such a beautiful color morph.

[@lindsaya7733]

I just love how Emily and Ed have embraced their fans. Instead of getting egos about being so popular, they just continue to have fun with everyone and seem to truly appreciate the fact that all the fans really means that they are getting their education message out successfully. Meeting them is definitely on my Bucket List!

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Y'know, seeing these it never really occurred to me...But you guys are making the reptile hobby not just an alternative or country thing, but also a thing for kids and their families. That is awesome and y'all are doing so well

[@amandaw5993]

So many Waldos! It's cool to see the presence and impact you guys have on the reptile community!

[@trumpetdoty27]

I can vouch for Stoned Geckos. They came to our local show and I bought a Chahoua from her three weeks ago. They are incredibly friendly, informative, and her geckos are well socialized.

[@ceegee5971]

I notice the lady showing them off has bites all over her fingers! Lol

[@horsecrazi57]

I saw y’all several times on Sunday, but you seemed so busy and there was always a group of littles waiting patiently for your attention. So heartwarming to see you take the time for them. This was my first reptile show - thank you for igniting my love for snakes!!

The face of the little boy when Emily and Ed come through the Fire and Ice Reptiles display is too cute. Emily's interaction with the kiddos has all the feels.

To funny, we made it in a Snake Discovery video sitting on the ground against the wall at 4:40. First time at Tinley reptile show, was able to see you two fantastic people and Dave Kaufman. I learned a very valuable lesson here, stick with the vendors you know. I unfortunately had a not good experience purchasing two Uromastyx from one of the vendors out of Lockton, NY. You both are so fun and to see you in action was a blast. My husband still can't believe how tall Emily is. Thanks for being such good representatives. 🥰 Much love to you both.

It was so funny watching other tinley vlogs in the last 2 weeks and seeing all of the Waldo’s and knowing they were snake discovery fans 😂

[@jessicatretola4682]

The color might have shown better on camera because of the white "background" pellets the snakes were in in the deli. Could also be the sunlight. If you don't already have photo box lighting it might be worth looking into, especially for those beautiful lavender hognose's. I've been waiting for this video. Looked like a blast. Thank you for all the videos and education.

[@ladyamphy]

It's so wonderful that you want to meet your fans in this way, though i think at this point you might need a few helpers when you do meet and greets so that you do get a chance to have a break. Maybe some of your fans who have other con volunteer experience in the area who could help out.

I’ve met Emily before, not at tinley or a meet and greet. I met her at her reptile zoo/store like maybe more then a few months ago. She was so nice! We got a picture and meting her was amazing. Think my heart skipped a few beats hehe…it was an experience. If you get the chance to meet her, do it! Ed was busy, I didn’t meet him but it was so fun.

[@ThePhoenixUnderwater]

I want to meet her so bad!!!! I have communicated with several fans who have met her, and they all have said she truly is the sweetie pie she seems in her videos!!! I have also personally spoken to her through email. I want to meet her badly enough to take a huge step in my life, and drive across the country to meet her. I'm in Michigan, so it's a 10 hour drive. I'm honestly very nervous about it, but meeting Emily is a very strong motivation to me to go that far out of my comfort zone. I've never left Michigan without my family, or with some kind of chaperone. I'm old enough now that I could do it, but I haven't. I've come very close to buying a plane ticket to go meet her!!!

[@kuceracm]

You're gonna have fun with the OBT. I'd definitely rehouse it though. They are fossorial/terrestrial and HEAVY webbers so if you give them a few inches of substrate to make a burrow and some sticks, fake plants, or some kind of decor to anchor their webs to, they will absolutely fill their enclosure with webbing. They will feel more secure with an appropriate burrow and be a bit less....ahem....spicy lol.
