Ed, the leaches whisperer, or I guess yeller.

[@Long_Haired_Climber_Girl]

lol

[@TehBuggy]

2:21 Speaking of whispering, Ed in the background just mumbling “I know I know, life is scary” to the baby was really sweet

[@ninifire4282]

@@TehBuggythey’re such loving reptile parents

[@madamsloth]

😂

[@kilsestoffel3690]

I was never interessted in snakes or other reptiles and I don't know why KZbin suggested this channel, but I love Emelys excited voice, when some of them hatched.

[@thathappensalot1352]

Same here. So fascinating, but still no interest in owning reptile.

[@simonbuttner1326]

SAME.

[@katbairwell]

It's the ultimate mark of a great teacher, when they can keep you interested in something, purely out of their own love and fascination. It's work for Sir David Attenborough for the best part of six decades, after all!

[@shadodragonette]

I don't really like reptiles or amphibians, but I can't get enough of Rex or this channel. Sometimes YT f's up and makes our days better. Not often, but sometimes.

[@SkyNyko]

The same way I found this channel, still following after years

[@JYYB]

I guess Ed has to say "HATCH" TO ALL THE EGGS NOW. 😂

[@xXPotato_SunShineXx]

Yessss!

[@ninifire4282]

Lol yes! Safe to come out now babies!

[@Begaria]

Ed:HATCH Next day Gecko:u happy now😂?

[@stephanietakasaki2250]

Lol!😂

[@amandagustafsson4589]

Their eggs hatch like the ones from Alien, except with a jumpscare of CUTENESS❤

[@Galinda33]

I wonder if the people who chose the design for the eggs in Alien actually looked at how reptile eggs hatch. That’d be a really cool design process to learn more about

[@childofcascadia]

@Galinda33 Most reptile eggs dont hatch like that. They just kind of tear little lines in the egg and poke their nose out of one for a day or 2 before they make their way out. Seen lots of snakes naturally hatch but ive never seen such a neat pattern that looks like the way an Alien facehugger egg hatches, ever. Its usually just a random slit when they pip.

[@BewaretheWarewolf]

​@@Galinda33 H.R.Giger the person who created and designed the Xenomorphs, facehuggers and their eggs originally wanted the opening to appear more like female genitalia when that idea was rejected because the producers worried he made it in the shape of a cross because 'Well, if it's a cross, then it's religious, and people don't worry about that'

[@sillyjellyfish2421]

​​​@@Galinda33nope, there's a funny story about that where the eggs were originally supposed to have a single slit and look like an alien vagina and the hatching being a mockery of the human birth. Obviously, it (and some other things like Rippley walking around butt naked since she was the only one on the ship, so why bother with clothes?) didn't fly so it was changed to the X shape to mock all the christians in the movie commission vetoing that since they "love to look at crosses so much".

[@JustWatchingSomeStuff]

3:56 "These really are giant geckos!" *manhandles both in one hand*

[@Officialwinter23.]

I know right!

[@RheaZenko]

Oh, Mighty Ed, please bless these eggs so they may hatch~ Ed: "HATCH!" Eggs: *hatched* Thank you, Mighty Ed.

[@ninifire4282]

I love this woman Her energy Her partner And this whole channel I was playing a game I haven’t been able to play in a few days cause I’ve been super sick And I got off it ASAP when I got a notification for baby geckos !

[@scottperkins5038]

Similar situation here, just finished a pen and paper rpg session at around midnight so I'm already pretty tired but I new this video would give me another thing to smile about to end the day. Emily's passion and energy is such a gift to the world.

[@sakasucircus]

i didn't even need a male to breed my leachie, she just DIY'd it herself lol. The lil one on my profile pic is the parthenogenetic baby that was produced as a result! She will be 3yo in september :) Not at alll a common occurrence, but a fun one. Congrats on your lil tree pickles!

[@Lana-dk2ie]

thats awesome

Ed's haircut is looking fressshhh

I was looking to see if anyone else noticed 💀

[@jenn1234]

I love his haircut!!! 🫶🏼

When I heard leachianus geckos I first thought of the delicious nut fruit Lychees. I love the background noise in this video. Calming.

[@JenniferCasad]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😃😆🤣

[@angelitabecerra]

*Love* Lychees. Unfortunately so hard to come by in my area

[@YujiUedaFan]

@@angelitabecerra They're typically seasonal.

[@kiasmidt7678]

A snake discovery sleepover would be so relaxing...

[@kyrab7914]

Glad I wasn't the only one. Also @kiasmidt7678 they do do night hikes, I'm unsure if that's the same tho. I remember staying the night with girl scouts at a museum, they always called it smthn cutesy

[@LycanKnight124]

Leachianus babies! More and more I'm falling in love with these geckos. (I remember your vid about how females are extremely jealous and will kill their mates if they smell another female on them 0-0)

[@Sakura_Kudo]

So, Female Leachianus Geckos are basically yandere.

[@tiredCuttlefish]

From the moment I held my baby leachie on one finger at the breeder's house, I was in love. Thank you Ed and Emily! If it hadn't been for the butt wiggles in your old leachie video, I wouldn't have gotten my darling. So glad you got to produce leachies!

[@NikolaiWhitlock]

I was just watchingnthe egg playlist and saw the notification ive always been a bit timid about snakes but these videos have helped so much with that nervous part so thank you snake discovery ^^

[@AylaGarton]

It may not mean much from a stranger but I'm proud of you for working to overcome your fear. Well done and big hugs from Bootle.

[@NikolaiWhitlock]

@@AylaGarton it does mean a lot actually I've been scared to the point I was terrified when the snakes would strike even through videos but over time watching the babies do it so much in the videos got me so relaxed to it now to where I'm not as scared

[@AylaGarton]

@@NikolaiWhitlock You've come a long way and I know it hasn't been easy but you're doing so well, sending you a extra big hug from Bootle.

[@NikolaiWhitlock]

@@AylaGarton it's very appreciated I'm very happy to have found snake discovery because I never even thought I'd have the thought to even own a snake but hog noses are so cute

[@bobbiec2829]

​@NikolaiWhitlock I used to be terrified of snakes and now I own a lavender hognose. I get not everyone may get to that point or even want to but I always get excited when people can get past their fear to realize how amazing snakes and other lizards are. Congrats on that! It helps having amazing KZbinrs/creators to shoe us the way ❤

[@roadkillbeauty]

That's how I got my older cat to accept a kitten I adopted. Took a month but now they play with each other and groom each other ❤

I love Leachies! They have such soft bellies. Ed explaining the blood is from a Vietnamese Blue Beauty is too real though, hahaha.

I love how small baby reptiles are, and how bigggg they can get ✨✨

7:45 to 8:54 you can see a snake is like hey get me on camera plsss and more time lol

[@IISheireenII]

I love that they look like pieces of tree bark

[@AstralStorm]

babies!! they re the cutest oh my goodness!

[@pyrpyr5Wolf]

Adorable! If anyone is thinking "I'd love a crestie/leachie but I don't have the space" go for an Eurydactylodes(chameleon gecko). Same care but smaller. My boy is by far the easiest of all my snakes/frogs/salamanders. Crestie diet and nothing larger than fruit flies for occasional livefood. They also don't drop their tails!

[@That_dang_cat]

Ed really is magic with "HATCH!". I had NEVER seen this.

[@ages6592]

The way you bonded those geckos is exactly how you bond rabbits also! And the way Emily describes female geckos… I feel like it a universal description of females 😅

[@kyrab7914]

Not true! Some animals (including us) can be plied with food, and some animals prefer the cowerers 😂

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

The tail looks like it's retractable. Like they could just slurp it in if they wanted. They're so cute! 🥰

[@Cool_Story_Bruh]

Yay! Congratulations on your first leachie hatching 🦎💚

[@Conicee]

Thanks for the video! I loved the explanation of how hard it is to breed those lechies. I never knew that crested were thought to be extinct a mere 30 years ago you wouldn't know it because they are absolutely everywhere!

[@MsIchigo93]

PJ's leachies, to top off the excitement. Congrats!

[@pr0v0cative4pple]

As someone who lives in an area with tons of Mediterranean house geckos, it blows my mind to see how HUGE Leachianus geckos are!

[@bigtgamer1]

My girl just turned 1 today! Love her, she's has had issues sticking to smooth objects for as long as I've had her though and according to the vet she's perfectly healthy 🤷

[@queenbee3647]

"You want to make bebes with me? Well then lets fight" Oh lord, rescue me someone, anyone! 😬

The leaping into the water dish was so funny, lil gecko looked so cute in the water bowl 💜

If I had all the money in the world I'd love a leachie. Admired them for years 🤧

[@sherrilvollmer4477]

I love how excited you guys get so excited over all the new babies no matter what species it is. Congrats on the new babies.

[@Ashleylikesbunnies]

I love their darker heads! I wonder how that helps them camouflage in the wild? I’m thinking like a darker tree bark section or as a shadow under a branch?

[@applegal3058]

She's so loudly excited 😆 I'd be worried about frightening the babies with my loud voice and jerky movements, so I'd probably just quietly tell them how cute they are and how much I love them ❤

[@user-pq8bz1bf4w]

where’s my under an hour crew >:D 👇🏻

[@bookworm3005]

Leachies are on my list of dream reptiles!

[@ArtzyZero]

I agree with Ed on this one, they're the first ones you've bred so you should totally keep them! And given what you said about the males not always surviving pairing attempts, it might be good to keep an extra male on hand just in case, of course hopefully it doesn't ever need to happen!

[@CookieOwls]

I've wanted a leachie forever and this video definitely has not helped the desperation to have one 🤣 so stinking cute

[@caitlynnecollender8228]

Apparently Ed is dragon born and knows the call for hatching...

[@InfiresSMan]

Ahhhhh I always get so excited for egg hatch videos!!! I just love seeing the little babies 🥺 and for once I’m seeing it within the first 24 hours! YES

The glass surfing snake in the background it just so cute trying to steal the show!

I was born in '94. Pretty cool, a thought-to-be-extinct reptile was rediscovered the year I was born, and now captive bred crested geckos are commonly kept as pets.

[@nicoladelle]

Gargoyle geckos are kinda like the poor man's leachi gecko. I love them.

[@Rissi9482]

Oh gosh they are soooo cute! I really want to have geckos, but I don't have the money or even the space so I'm waiting to start having my own and once I do I'm going to adore these littles geckos so much! I always found Crested Geckos to be so cool all because I love their toe pads and their ability to stick and their colors. Their colors remind me so much of fall, which is my favor season, so I really really like that. The Leachies are just so freaking cute- Even as adults they just have such a cute face and I would so want to have one as a pet one day, but that's a future, future, future pet. One where I know I can actually provide for and all that. So....mainly I'm just waiting and playing the waiting game, but other than that I will continue to watch these videos and do side research in the meantime!

[@user-ie9nv6zy3q]

I am SO excited because I have been able to confirm that my family and I are going to be able to go to Snake Discovery zoo!!!!! So if this summer you see a grown adult crying in your zoo from happiness please don't find me weird! When I discovered Snake Discovery in 2018 I was at the hospital for an over night stay. I was in a lot of pain & my husband wasn't allowed to stay with me. I spent the night watching all of your content. 6 Months later I was having multiple surgeries & had to stay in bed mostly (I was stuck like this for another year). I was struggling with the pain & my depression, night was the worst. The thing that got me through it? Snake Discovery (And Bob Ross). Emily & Ed I know you started this as an educational channel but truly you have changed my life for the better. Thank you for introducing me to the world of reptiles!
