[@aleishabarrett8013]

Name suggestion: Hestia, Greek goddess of Fire, hearth, home, and protecting the house. Vesta would be the roman equivalent. Phoenix is always a good shout but a touch overused for fire names however still suits her well, and another fire goddess is 'Brigid' the pagan goddess of Fire, healing, spring and renewal

[@claramartin2104]

Oh I love the idea of naming her Hestia. She can be quite a Hisss-tier

[@joaquinriquelme5639]

I WAS THINKING OF THAT!!

[@snakewithapen5489]

**aggressively likes comment*

[@amayacoleman9088]

OMG! I can't belive I didn't think of that!

[@leochild6644]

I love Hestia!!!😁

[@A_Swarm_of_Koalas]

Name suggestion: Boitatá. It's a mythical Brazilian fire snake. They're protectors of nature. The legend is thought to be based around spontaneously igniting swamp gas.

[@Beth_Amphetamine]

That’s cool! And also fitting! Nice 👍🏻

[@morganfreeman4137]

I like this one ☝️

[@BassiAna_]

Boa ideia 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@AramatiPaz]

Good one. Very fitting for a absolute unit of a snek

[@astrinymris9953]

Ooh, I like that one! Fitting AND culturally relevant.

[@sarrengodfrey]

I knew those enclosures were big, but when Emily crawled inside I realized just how big the setups were. Really shows just how much she cares about her animals. I love it

[@kittybun8845]

It hits even harder when you realize Emily is like 6 ft. She's a tall female.

[@jerryray3892]

I love it when Emily gets excited about snakes doing normal snake things. She truly has so much love and passion for her animals

[@kellyg1972]

For the boy Argentine boa, I’d suggest Zuko, especially if he’s scarred.

[@joodlenoodle1766]

Yes yes yes yes

[@dragongamer4610]

That would be Awesome!

[@spacedout.leopard]

YES PLS

[@denrawhite]

YESSSSSS! You win ❤️

[@pissnvinegar]

omg this oneeee this is it!!

[@firefoxkari]

Name suggestion: Wabjet, the protective serpent goddess who sends fire to burn her enemies in Egyptian mythology

[@kyrab7914]

2 years later and the Argentines def have strong trees, and the ledges happily were reinforced for a gravid Phoenix. From ashes to a zoo to breeding. Beautiful

[@ceecraft1362]

Seeing not just the animals happy, but also seeing you guys so happy about being able to do this for your animals is literally making me tear up. I hope you know how much good you're putting into the world with your work 💕

[@aonirnolaloth]

Keeping the hallways a bit dimmed might also reduce reflections when looking in the terrariums

[@riptidesart2346]

Phenix is an amazing name for her! Also maybe Zuko for her boyfriend, since he has burn scars.

[@jennivamp5]

Oh I love that one! Zuko would be perfect!

[@DeafMeep]

ZUKOOOO yessss

[@magin10011]

Heck ya

[@free2beme273]

Yes! Zuko!

[@faeofthewild6818]

I was looking for someone else who wants to suggest Zuko for the boyfriend

[@hazelmitchell6050]

Phoenix is a great name!!🐍🐢

[@katherynedarrah4245]

I'm uber happy you guys included IUCN red list on the signs! Most places don't, and simply mention it in the text, which is kinda glossing over it.

[@erinkrug9063]

I think "Ember" might be a cute name for the snake that survived the fire.

[@ChiiRayne]

Came down to the comments to suggest the same thing

[@lareacase319]

That is a good name

[@ashleyhitachiin7257]

I was gonna suggest that name too. It is such a cute name

[@darcykirkup8100]

Just commented the same thing.

[@locabynature]

I love ember. I liked phoenix too but that one is a little common.

[@debayeuxchats5607]

If I survived a fire, I wouldn't want to be named fire- I would want to be named after its foe. And while I know the fire tetrahedron would state a lack of oxygen or chemical chain reaction are valid ways to put out a fire, we all know the classic opposite of fire is water. So, I would suggest Ceto. Not only the Greek goddess of water, she is linked to dragons and serpents through her many children.

[@BeckyNosferatu]

I like this a lot! It's perfect representation!

[@Lilly_watermelonsugar]

Calypso would work too then

[@PanBookworm]

I love it!

[@Snow_Sailor]

Yeah it would suck to be named after something you survived but got harmed by.

[@_snowyfall_]

This is really good! I hope they pick this

[@sassyhulk7685]

I'm recovering from oral surgery and comforting myself by watching you guys move the reptiles into the zoo. It's so great to see how far you've come❤

[@jor.3954]

Onefhdiidrgh Rx Rx Rx in Rx Rx Rx prrhror Rx Rx😂❤😊

[@SaltyJennC]

“Cinderella” means ‘little ash girl”. There are much cooler names,, but that would be a way more practical name for younger fans at the zoo.

[@apss5736]

i cant believe i didnt notice for years that that was what the cinder part represented

[@xxsilverstarxx6893]

Ooooh Lauryn's drawings for the info panels would make perfect stickers! Then kids could get a sticker that matches their favorite snake, or during parties you could give every kid a different sticker and they'd go find the snake and write about it!

[@eggnsthums]

Cool Idea :)

[@dixiedoll9944]

Or a magnetic! Collect all your favorite!

[@yenkim3804]

yea!good idea!

[@kendricklamarfan1274]

LIKE THIS NOW SO EMILY CAN SEE THIS

[@fluffymango3473]

I like that idea, but maybe not write about it because there would probably be a few kids that don’t know how to write. Or because of covid and germs

[@tabdabble6887]

You can call her Diamond! She looks like coal, which turns into diamonds with extreme heat and pressure! :D She came through hardship, and she's beautiful as ever :)

[@leliaooten7251]

I love that name

[@itsasecret6637]

That's so sad the snakes had to go through that fire. I wish them the best. She absolutely deserves that huge cage.👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@annar84]

I am so hooked, I have been watching these over and over again and seeing how much you love your animals, really warms my heart, I love snakes, lizards etc but I have a fear of spiders more so the ones that are large or very obvious ones, its hard to describe the ones I fear. I know they can't hurt me, especially the ones that we have here in England (Midlands) and we deal with more the house spiders and they are great for dealing with flies or other bugs but yuk.... what can I do....

[@wyattjones9719]

So I work at the Virginia Aquarium, and we have a softshell turtle as well. Just a little tip, if kids can't figure out which one it is, just tell them to look for the swimming pancake. It gets them laughing and also helps them find the turtle!

[@panadayana5402]

"ardor" might be one for the Argentinan snakes since it means to burn with passion/fierceness in Spanish. i saw someone also commented ember which was the other thought. So happy for your guys!

[@danmars756]

It also means that something stings and / or is sore in a burning way... Or so that's the first thing that came to mind when you say "ardor" for me haha

[@panadayana5402]

@@danmars756 haha you're right I guess I didn't think about it in that context but me arde la espalda is totally something my mom has said

[@gay-flower]

The blue beauties are soooo pretty and Olive is also really pretty in their enclosure!!

[@candycat8516]

Name suggestion: I think Azula (after a character from avatar) would fit very well..it ties the theme of fire and strength together and I think the name sounds very royal and mighty :3

[@shebyheart9457]

For the male you can call him Hephaestus, it could bring reference to his scarring and also the fact that he has been in a fire. It could be really cool

[@victoriaallen429]

I also came here to say this !!

[@_marsMan_]

Hephaestus and Hestia

[@khills]

@@_marsMan_ as much as Phoenix is the automatic name, Hestia and Hephaestus were going to be my suggestion, too.

[@marmellowkat9283]

They could call him Hef for short

[@amberpatten8136]

Hephaestus might be too difficult for little kids, but maybe Vulcan would work

[@kldkinzo]

My partner, Joey, suggested Azula for the female, and Zuko for the male (if he needs a name as well) :) love seeing all the new enclosures!!

[@emmvelop]

Zuko would fit so well!! since they actually have scars from the fire

[@WolvieXXXZandalari]

dang this is a good one +Thumbs.

[@coastermaniacc]

YES

[@dinosandtrains909]

YES for Zuko as it fits so well

[@taloe24]

Everyone bump this comment, this needs to be a thing

[@himynameislexi]

I recently went to an aquarium and some animals didn't even have name tags much less, information so it's great to see your doing informational signs, thank you do much yall!

[@naomimathias3719]

I am so exited about the grand opening!

[@aaronmorton9308]

"Ember" is a name I'm fond of for a fire name, even if it is pretty simple, and its one I've used in my writing, but another name I've seen that I really liked was "Akosua." Or For a male name I like "Vulcan."

[@themallimalli]

I really liked Vulcan for the male!

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

Ember and Vulcan would be cool if both of the survivors need names :>!

[@cgseafoy5]

Congratulations! So exciting

[@entomologyandherpetology3352]

As a firefighter, I would be really excited to see the Argentine boa. Her story is impressive and tragic.

[@josievickers264]

The fact Emily can sit and stand normally in a snake home shows how big they are and how much work they put in

[@ImNotAnOWL435]

So happy to see all y’all’s progress! The enclosures are beautiful and it’s awesome to watch the snakes explore their new homes! Also I really like Phoenix! my ideas name are Ember, and Akiho (Japanese origin) meaning ‘fire and autumn’

[@FoxNote8]

I recommended naming her Ember!! She looks like and embered log during a fire! I also love everyone suggesting Hestia!!

[@CharlieIGuess]

I like Ember, it just looks like it suits her

[@adudewholikesgunpla]

Yeah

[@haileybishop5811]

I like ember or ash

[@evelynfought6940]

I LOVE Ember!!!

[@TiffARMY]

I also immediately thought of Ember! And they can save Phoenix for the boy.

I love the great job Lauren did on those signs 👏 😀 congratulations Lauren

[@ragingposeidongaming6853]

To weigh in on the lighting debate, I used to work at the National Aquarium, and pretty much all of our enclosures were lit up, with almost no lighting in the hallways. It obviously came with some drawbacks, but I think it was amazing to showcase the animals. If I was in your position, I’d set the overhead lights suuuuper low, and then have the enclosure lights be the predominant light source. This also helps with animal stress, since they will see their own reflection more than a bunch of big apes walking around

[@olivarcynthia]

Totally agree! It’s too bright and it takes away the focus from the enclosures

[@Hayden-hv5nn]

I definitely recommend having the lights dimmed when all the enclosures are done and lit up it will make viewing inside the enclosures easier and look insanely cool.

[@autumnrose5301]

literally just thought this

[@bird2324]

i was thinking this! they could have special events where they turn the lights off after hours and people could get flashlights and go through a dark facility tour

[@Alucard45000]

I think they are going to do this. I believe they said so in once of the last updates.

[@cwhite946]

if you ever find the space, in the main lobby, you should put a freshwater fish tank. it would add a great touch to the nature theme you have in the zoo

[@angelmoore2453]

Love the blue beauty enclosure. Beautiful home for beautiful snakes.

[@cantankeruz]

Seeing Brad in the zoo feels... right. She was one of Emily's firsts and I'm so happy to witness this

[@neonseas]

Calida is a Spanish word meaning Heated, could be a cute double-related name with it being in Spanish (for the Argentine part ;))and having a meaning related to her history. Ashe might be a little morbid but it's cute. Blaise could be cute like Blaise Zabini. Vesta is the Roman goddess of the hearth, that could be cool.

[@TangledMind1018]

Love Vesta :)

[@albussr1589]

Name suggestion I know will be unpopular: Balrog. Ironic because she seems to be friendly and the Balrog is a fire Deamon. You could also call the Male Feanor, elvish for Fire-Spirit. Actually, I could go on and on and on about Names relatet to Fire.

[@kaygurl6288]

I think the house fire was one of the very first videoes i watched on your channel! I don't know if ive been a subscriber since then, but that was one of my first videos of your channel! I love how incredibly your world has taken off!

[@KrossTime75]

I think a name for the Argentine Boa should be "Ember" unless you already have that as a name

[@christinehaver2]

Call her Entei, Raikou or Suicune they're pokemon that were resurrected by Ho oh after perishing in the Brass Tower when it burnt down. I think Entei would fit the best

[@e.e27]

Awwwweee!!! That's a very very very good name! How did I not think of that! If you see this I'm your first comment of your comment! :)

[@gnu740]

Entei does suit her! And the male can be Raikou.

[@CardKingog]

Entei is such a good name

[@troebeliewoep]

That would be cool!!

[@aquariTerrible]

Oh just saw your comment lmao great minds think alike

[@godzillagaming2982]

I'm most excited for when the hoggys move in because they're my favourite snakes!!! :)

[@shadowcat6832]

This is such a comfort video (and the channel is also v much a comfort channel)

[@sunburstbasser]

Back in 1979, Gloria Gaynor had a hit song called "I Will Survive." I think you should consider naming your Argentine Boa Gloria, because she survived.

[@acidpotions5027]

I just love Ed and Emilys relationship it's so wholesome

[@marialiyubman]

[@strangerdanger9395]

I effing love that you commissioned a fan. I love a community building and thriving together.

[@avagutierrez6461]

Phoenix might be better for the male because he had more damage, therefore more symbolic with the whole "rising from the ashes" phoenix thing.

[@lilgryphon]

Maybe name him after Fawkes if they like Harry Potter.

[@Asterious_JP]

That's so overused as a name tho.

[@keioftheabyss9167]

I agree! Phoenix for the male and maybe Cinder/Ash for the female?

[@alicetran316]

i agree to. For the female mabye flames or something

[@kitapanda-lx4go]

Yes

[@nancymendez5009]

“There’s only 5 animals in this zoo, one star!” The turtles :>

[@katrinakatrina2950]

Lol 😂

[@jenniferprice9971]

The invertebrates are also ignored in that statement.

[@4C1DC4T]

Maff: 4+3+2+5=??? or X

[@kwnsnskw]

And the trantrulas in the infert cave?

[@singingwolf3929]

I love that line. My mind went...."The are 5 animals in the zoo...????...didn't you put 4 snakes in one enclosure???? Was it a hydra and I didn't notice? Also, the turtles. I mean if you ignore them they're gonna end up eating pizza and learning Karate."

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

These enclosures are 😍 stunning.

[@chivixta]

I reallly love how all the drawings look! Especially the leechie and carpet python

[@Malcopme]

I LOVE Phoenix. She is a survivor, she rose from the ashes , and she's starting a new life at the zoo. Love her!

[@the_soap_muncher]

Yeah, I like phonix

[@sheariviri]

I saw her at Grand Opening! She looks so dragon-like I took a picture to show my mom. That said, I really like the idea of Mai and Zuko from AtLA.

[@python11204]

I just love those blue beautys so much!

[@SadieIsTheGoat]

I know you’ll have probably already picked a name but, she seems like a “Black Bean” to me!💚🖤 and I went with “Black Bean” because she was a little bean of luck that survived that fire. And she probably had a lot of black soot on her when she was found so I feel like “Black Bean” is a really amazing name!❤️❤️

[@laziepandabeare74]

I agree about turning the lights down as with all the enclosures well lit, you will be able to see better with background/over head lighting lowered

[@epicwolf3]

Oooo I've been waiting to see this! Phoenix, Cinder, or Brigit (celtic fire goddess) would all be great. I think you idea is the best. For your male you could do Apollo, Vulcan, Ra, or Agni

Boost for Brigit

[@NoteSpellingOf]

Boost for Cinder

[@svantos7096]

I love these enclosures you did such a great job

[@poo6544]

I think "Ash" would be a great name for the boa! Aside from the fire stuff, I think it's also my pokemon loving side :>> Also, I think "Toast" would be a great name for her bf!

[@TinyPigy282]

The only thing is suggest with the fact boards is adding location names to the map part :)

[@bela2050]

Also, they could add the animal's name to the sine

I love all your vidios I have been watching you for 5 years and I LOVE snakes

[@makeupbyclare00516]

the zoo I work at (which has the largest reptile house in the southern hemisphere) actually makes it pretty dark inside the reptile house so that the colours of the enclosures and the animals pop and make the exhibits even more interesting. We only have wall lamps to light the path.

[@27sunshinechick]

I can't wait to see Rex move in to her new home! although it was amusing watching you guys go through multiple pools lol

[@arachanine]

I hope you can turn down the building lights when everyone’s in there!! I think the bright ceiling lights are kind of jarring right now, but I’m sure it’ll be much different when everything’s lit up in the enclosures

[@Placidtrip]

I reeeeeally think you guys should dim the overhead lights a lot, or completely turn them off! You’d be surprised how much ambient light the enclosures may put off, but (for added safety) you could also light the walkways with led strips or garden walkway lights. I think it would really highlight the gorgeous enclosures you’ve created and keep glares off the glass

[@tinksmith4964]

Wow I diddnt realise how *beautiful* the blue beauties are! 💙

[@venkatpamarhi7716]

[@lucasiglesias1894]

12:20 May I suggest a few names: -Mboi, it's the Guaraní word for "snake", and their distribution range overlaps with that of the Guaraní people. - Usuahia, which is the capital city of Tierra del Fuego, a province in Argentina named like that because of the bonfires the natives would use to keep themselves warm (it's the southernmost province of Argentina). - Pampa, pretty self explanatory For the male: - Quiroga: an Uruguayan author, he wrote stories about nature, in one of them all the characters are snakes (it's called Anaconda, nothing to do with the film) Mboi would also work for him. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@angelabrown8458]

How about Ember for the Argentine boa, I love the mythical name suggestions too.
