Moving the FIRST Animals into the Zoo!

The Invert Cave is finally finished!! Who knew that invertebrates would be the first critters to move into the zoo? We LOVE how it turned out!!
Custom Reptile Habitats did a wonderful job creating the enclosures! Believe it or not, they were made from scraps from other projects, so they are recycled enclosures too! :D You can check out more of Custom Reptile Habitat's' enclosures here:

We'll also have a limited number of the invert cages available in our store!

Thank you for your concerns about people pushing the enclosures off the shelves! I forgot to mention it in the video, but we plan on drilling a hole into the shelf behind each tank, and dropping in a pin (of sorts) to act as a lock to prevent them from being able to get pushed back :)

Hey! I'm so exited to see the zoo, And everything seems like it will be so cool to see and learn, but I'm very scared of centipedes, so I'm not as excited for that lol.

I love you Ed and Emily, and I can't wait to *maybe* see you all in person!! Thank you for reading this, if you do, and maybe thank you for responding.

I think the back of those enclosures is in a room that's going to be either an office or the rodent breeding room, so I think it should be okay. I totally get it, though.

@@Callies_ChaoticAnimationCorner I applaud you for your maturity. But that’s not to say another person won’t try to do just that, whether a kid, teen, or adult... in the end, having extra precautions to make sure the enclosures don’t get pushed off the back (accidentally or otherwise) wouldn’t be a bad thing.

[@coreymac2381]

The invertebrates’ enclosures look great! So does Ed’s hair.

[@breadx.]

:)) idk how my friends are still scared of reptiles- even though they’ve touch many without shaking- I can’t :’(

[@calebmarcus6137]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this video since I found out you guys where having a zoo

[@laartje24]

Thank you for adding a photosensitivity warning, it is appreciated! I think the time stamp is off though, but it was still useful that you mentioned it. Edit: Yes the timestamps are definitely off. But the fact that you mention it just before is still useful.

What wings of fire book are you on? (BEST BOOK SERIES EVER DEFINITELY RECOMMEND)

[@kingstonvlach7835]

5 don't have the graphic novel IVE NEVER SEEN ANY BODY COMMENT ABOUT THIS Frend ship acquired

[@dragonmaster7128]

My favorite book series ever is wof! I’m almost finished with the poison jungle! Graphic novels are definitely worth it.

From Canada here but when the borders are open I’d love to visit their facility it’s amazing

[@rabidfox1179]

This is the highlight of my crappy week, have a fantastic day to all who read this :)

[@hweori]

thank you so much for the photosensitivity warnings!!

[@emmythekidcreator3109]

hey emily! for the mantis enclosure, i suggest getting an orchid mantis. theyre a beautiful pink color and i think they might be good for your zoo

[@ettinakitten5047]

They're absolutely gorgeous.

[@richardsonramble4166]

Love all of the progress!! We just have chickens and like 7 views sister - I'm SO proud of your progress!!. :) You almost have me talked in to a hognose though - I don't think I could get quail eggs for a egg eating snake, so probably looking at getting a hognose. My daughter had a pink rose tarantula named, 'Rose' which I happened to see yesterday. Rose is huge now. Loved this video!

[@chelsieadams4853]

We're in Nebraska.. my baby girl has never missed a video and demands we go see the zoo lmao

[@shadowcat9672]

Man I wish I could visit this zoo, it looks like it’s going to be amazing. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to visit the USA to see it.

[@rosenthorn21sounds25]

Yessssss! I love seeing all of the updates what Emily and Ed have been able to achieve is astounding and absolutely incredible to watch their dream come to fruition.!!!

[@Andy-uf8ug]

Thank you so much for adding photo sensitivity warnings, you guys are the best! I'm epileptic and it's so nice to know that I don't need to worry about surprise triggers ❤️

[@MagikarpPoop]

Oh man this is really a part where the passion comes into play, these enclosures are so gorgeous and so much thought and effort went into this!!

[@wyattjones9719]

The fact that I have watched this entire build from the beginning, but I live in Virginia and can't ever go to see it, is kinda sad

whenever im watching your old content a new one always pops up its like you know early birthday gift

[@rebsyk4429]

I've just started working in a little tropical zoo. I'm so glad I learnt so much watching you guys over the years

[@manfredfails7485]

That sounds like a cool Job. Seeing photos of the animals would be fun.

[@corvinawylde3952]

I'm so grateful that your inverts are kept in decent sized enclosures. I've seen too many zoos that keep tarantulas in small cases. You guys do such an amazing job!

[@happyhabitats9853]

I’ve seen a Gila monster in a 20 gallon, and there was four….😢

I’ve been waiting for this forever and can’t wait to see more!!! I know this is a stretch but is it possible for you to include closed captions on your videos?? I just like reading the words and it lets me have a better understanding of your videos!

[@Michea11]

Favorite days of the week are Tuesday and Friday because that’s when you guys post

[@tired_and_bored_nerd]

I really hope that the zoo is open by my birthday in October (not trying to rush anyone) also I share a name with a tarantula!

[@HeyItsIDK]

Please do coral mantis!! They are very interesting to look at and arn't your average manti, not to mention how pretty!

Me here conflicted between me wanting to watch a facility update vs my arachnaphobia😫 imma watch it anyways lol

Same!

[@BringDeathByPickles]

Looking lovely! Though I get nervous about people standing up, holding a T in their hand like that. She could easily bolt out of your hand and end up on the floor, and that would most likely be the end of her.

[@ghostkoray1878]

I'm so sad that I can't visit your Zoo when it's done because I live in Germany but I'm really excited to see how it will look at the end and say Hi from me to all your reptiles and other animals and all the people who work with you on the Zoo.Loveyou al 😘❤ Funny fact my name is Viktoria and evry body is calling me Viki 😄
