SNAKE DISCOVERY ZOO TOUR! (The Reptile Zoo is Now Open!)

[@katbairwell]

Seeing Emily choke up when Dav was praising their work was very touching. They have done something incredible, and it has been a joy seeing all their amazing friends, like Dav, lending their time and expertise on the way.

I thought she seemed irritated, when he insisted on going into the employees only room.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Great video dude! Well put together! I can't believe you showed my secret sleeping spot though!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I told everyone to keep it quiet.

[@Beth_Amphetamine]

Lol I love this community so much! Y’all are hilarious. Is it a scientific fact that like reptiles make you better people? Perhaps!

[@ms.riptoreandvenom3208]

If this gets over a million views it will be hard to be quiet about it

[@antoniogonzalez4534]

Busted!

[@asiantropicalreptiles9541]

I'm telling Emily

[@jonathandefoy6376]

its heartwarming to see Emily tear up, it is also exceedingly rare. But she deserves all the praises in the world.

[@philippak7726]

awww, seeing Rex get all interested in people wriggling through the tunnel. Getting off her perch to swim alongside. She must be enjoying all the enrichment of NEW PEOPLE (even if she can't bite)

[@RavenousBear91]

I’m so glad you guys showed off onyxia. She is the most beautiful snake I have ever seen.

[@katbairwell]

I so agree, if ever there was a snake to act as am ambassador it is surely that stunning girl. One day, one day...

[@pamelajayne9044]

Are they going to breed from her?

[@lawrenceboerner1002]

Agreed.

[@seli.popcornpfoten]

As I live in Europe I unfortunately can't visit this zoo so seeing different updates and footages makes me really happy! This video was really cool, thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@cathyb1273]

Same here 😔

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

I mean I don't live THAT far but I don't see myself being able to travel there anytime soon. I live in Oregon. So I also appreciate it. I would love to visit someday if I can though...

[@30ratsstackedinatrenchcoat91]

Same ;-;

[@petradegroot3578]

Same…. One day, one day I will visit!

[@troebeliewoep]

Same, but its good to see so many people enjoying the zoo. I can live a little vicariously through them. And the animals look so happy, healthy and well cared for

[@Cleptrio]

I love how cooperative Rex is for the camera, moving around so she stays on video. You can tell she’s used to being filmed lol.

[@7LemonGwen]

Rex looks so comfy in her enclosure. 🐊

[@HinataElyonToph]

I’ve been watching too many Snake Discovery videos cause my immediate response to seeing her was “(*gasp*) Rexie! Hi girly!!”

[@ellesreptiles]

It's so great seeing the zoo (almost) completely done! Emily and Ed poured their hearts into the zoo, and it definitely shows. Great video 😊

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Totally agree!

[@kaitlin3343]

Stop making Emily cry, she's tired 😆 but seriously, I'm so happy for them. It's amazing❤️

[@_mortiam]

The softshell be like "Huh? Oh shoot. No, you didn't see me basking there!" xD I don't even live in America, but I still want to visit so bad! Well some day, maybe.

[@HinataElyonToph]

Taco’s like “abscond!!”

[@vancesummers422]

The way taco just makes a sudden run for it had me spitting out my food 🤣

[@Maxxyxx]

I want to see Snake Discovery so bad but I’m far away from America

[@AuroraExotics]

Great tour! The transitions through time between building to finished were so fun! Such an incredible place. The blue beauty enclosure is definitely my fave! Walking around the zoo makes me feel like a kid again. Can't wait to see what kind of events and fun things Emily and Ed come up with next!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

me too and thanks! :)

[@Whitolax3]

Oh look a wild Emily in her natural environment...and would you just look at her she's thriving!!! Dave you Emily and Ed are such awesome people!

[@_mika_6202]

Rex is like the star of snake discovery 's youtube She's amazing!

[@rubykelly8619]

I’m trying to get Snake Discovery on my husband’s school trip list for their students. Also the counseling center he works for to see if they can do a once a year trip. I’m going to approach some churches in my area as well. I live in Delaware so I’m going to do the research on how long it takes to drive and all. I may even sponsor a trip there this coming summer for kids myself. I just want to be a support to these two beautiful souls. 🥰❤️🙏🏽

[@gentledragons6170]

I loved seeing the zoo but more than anything seeing the friendship between Dav and Emily and Ed continue to blossom is amazing. They are all awesome people and I love watching them all grow together.

[@C-24-Brandan]

They did an excellent job setting up the enclosures specifically for the species going into it! It's nice to see enclosures that are way bigger than needed, incredibly decorated with proper hides, water bowls, grass/sticks/bark, bedding ect!! Definitely up there with the nicest collections, best kept/taken care of & attention to detail with everything related to that specific species.

[@HellyeahRook]

My favorite thing about their zoo is the native snakes. I love that they did that.

[@ardzruni]

How dare you misgender our glorious alligator queen 😤🐊👑 jk jk, this video is SO amazing I love u long hair man ❤️

[@melissajarvis4829]

Ikr!

[@ipanema753]

I was searching for this comment :D I remember how difficult it was to get used to Rex being a 'she' back than, and now it is so strange to hear somebody call her 'he' 🤣

[@enkays_den]

To be fair he might have missed the initial video where they found out Rex is a female

[@KKajice]

honestly, I dunno if this is problematic, but I kinda envision them as non-binary.

[@ipanema753]

@@KKajice I mean, you can feel about her (or in your case...them?) however you want 😂 for me she is definitely a queen! Or a little Diva ;)

[@andysusanto7468]

Great work Emily and Ed! And thanks Dav for the YTV for us that not in the US to see the place...

[@sarahbeaulieu999]

Since I live here I was luck to go on the final day of opening weekend. Didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked due to crowds my kiddos were getting overwhelmed, but it gives me a great excuse to go back really soon 😁

[@Amaranthyne]

As it just so happens, we _haven’t_ gotten this level of a tour on the Reptile Discovery channel yet. We still haven’t seen all the animals in their new enclosures 😭 and the wait has been killing me! _Deep breathes. Patience is a virtue._ Any footage is *welcome* !

[@shi.survives.somehow]

I think Emily mentioned in the last video that the next video will most likely be a full tour🤔

[@Amaranthyne]

@@shi.survives.somehow I hope so!

[@antonfendrich5217]

That "back-in-time" transition was incredible and well worth the wait! Nice one!

[@raredog939]

Reptile Rapture in Wisconsin has a huge rescue section. It's a reptile shop but they are definitely huge on rescue. I absolutely love Snake Discovery and what they created. Simply amazing. So much work and thought put into that place. Really proud of this awesome couple!

[@c9206805684]

I love Reptile Rapture they are much closer to me about 2 hours and Snake Discovery is about 6-7 hours

[@devinscreaturecrew]

Legend says that Adam is still hiding there to this day and no one has found him yet.

[@aprilfurcean8302]

They did such an awesome job on this! Snake Discovery is definitely a bucket list destination for me.

Being overseas and being a native born Minnesotan, its sad i missed out on the grand opening but seeing the progress take off and seeing it turn out as amazing as it is is awesome! Can't wait until im home again to see this

I love how most of the important players in this community have all come together and help and Emily work on their project

[@taylorgarton6983]

I am so happy for Emily and Ed, words cannot even express how amazing it has been to witness their success flourish over the years. They’re finally living their dream and they’ve worked so hard! They deserve it! I’m happy to see that they got things done in time for opening day! Great video as always, Dav 🤟🏼 rattle on!

[@slothfrog21]

Every time I think of how Emily and Ed fulfilled their dream..... I tear up and that rarely happens. I have loved watching the journey from the beginning. Just amazing work with a beautiful result!

[@itsthenewsouth]

I'm gonna have to send Dav some safety glasses! So happy for Ed and Emily, this has been their dream for so long.

[@tyneblackburn553]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for showing off Onyxia! I miss her so and we live for getting to see her in videos from time to time! Lee and I are fans of you too Dav! You're fantastic! Keep up the great work.

[@amydpnw]

Thumbs up on the Rainbow mealworms ads. I usually skip over them but this one was so topical that I didn’t click through.

[@ismaelmarrero8377]

Amazing place Emily and Ed plus there team have made a dream come true for them it's been my pleasure seeing it get made and can't wait to see more amazing video's great video Dāv love the before and after clips.

[@tasazuki]

Awwww! Thanks for giving us the tour! Emily actually helped me get my first snake! She recommended the one that fit best, and even referred me to someone she trusted. Now, Eomer lives with them there at Snake Discovery! He is full of sass but the cutest Mexican Black Kingsnake!

[@moonhunter6743]

I will be making the pilgrimage from Atlantic Canada when it is safe to do so in the future! I've always wanted a chance to meet Emily and Ed at some point, and now I can do more than just see and meet them, but also support their amazing business they've poured their hearts and souls into ❤ Awesome video Dāv!

I love how much effort dav puts into his videos like bruh he filmed MONTHS before to make this video clearly been planed for agesssss

[@kerryhughes5321]

I'm in the UK and never really had their area in my travel plans but literally going so I can see the zoo and hopefully meet Ed and Emily one day. Im Terrified of snakes to the point I couldnt even look at pictures without going into a cold sweat but watching snake discovery these past few years along with another channel has really helped😊 not yet to the point I'm brave enough to hold a snake though 😅

[@Aabano_]

It’s really cool to see the zoo in another prospective! Looks so amazing, great video!

[@LuckyStone888]

17:25 Gargolyle geckos are overshadowed by Cresties, but I think Gargoyles are a much better pet species. They eat better they are much calmer and their colours are spectacular. At least in my collection.

[@jacobroth6221]

Hey, I dont ever comment on videos but I need to say this. Emily is a gem of a human being. Just a positive person and has such a good vibe. Happy for her.

[@dorabrooks76]

Looks like everything came together pretty well! I wish I could visit... This was a great tour, though, thanks! Still hoping someone (maybe Emily herself) will do a tour of _every_ animal and enclosure, because I'm greedy like that. Lol 😆 I used to spend full days at the Vancouver Aquarium, since I had to see everything and take my time. The frog display took a good chunk of the day to get through because I like to find at least one of every species, and some frogs camouflage incredibly well- some even better than the bird poop frogs shown here, though they get extra points for originality and style! 😄

[@SilverDragon67]

What an amzing video about an amzing zoo of your amazing friends 😍 Emily and Ed created a little paradise, all the cages are so beautiful and so big for the animals, it really shows their love and respect for all their creatures. Thanks for this video, I am looking forward to your next "I found a wild Emily in her natural habitat" 😁

[@nightlyoko626]

This gives me life because I’ve been following their channel for years now I’m so happy for them omg

Can't believe I saw Rex's enclosure on your channel before theirs.. but glad I finally got to. Being from SC, visiting isn't something I can do soon.

It’s unlike what I’ve seen in other reptile stores love the enclosures for each animal. How it’s made to replicate their environment. I’m glad I get to see all these wonderful places through your lenses. Thanks Dav for taking us on your journeys.

I love there place but i think one of the best touches is the native snakes they need to try and obtain all of the natives. I actually been sugesting this very same thing to another utuber with a reptile zoo. I really think whatever state your in and u have a reptile zoo it makes a great educational piece to be able to display all the natives. Great vid Dav
