Finding Cool Animals at the US Virgin Islands!

Trying to help the giant creepy spider and getting ick-ed out by the spider at the same time had me dying 😂 so relatable

Right?! That "I'm trying to help you!" but also "DON'T TOUCH ME!" feeling😂

[@2-Minfy-3]

Im so gad i found this comment before i watched this whole video😭😭

[@SoraShadowdancer]

I would've given it a ten foot berth and not even touched it. Spiders are the reason I can't do tropical areas. Like, when that part came on my screen I held my phone as far away from my face as my arm would allow. Just, yuck.

That feeling of "OH GOD" while also trying to help a critter is SO relatable😅

[@Shadowkyne]

Cane spider is what I know those big spiders as (the one at 2:30) and they are fast! Also, incredibly scary when they just appear near the ceiling on a wall in your house at after-dark-o'clock.

[@alysker]

Omg i remember these dudes showing up whenever i thought let’s sit in the living room for the once in a blue moon my parent’s were not home… the nightmares. My non agoraphobic friends would scream and never come back to that room

[@schaynegeorge4793]

I'm Australian, we call them huntsmen. They're simultaneously chill and lazy while also being zoomy and aggressive. They can stay in the same corner for months, or they can cross a room in under a minute because you looked at them wrong

[@loorthedarkelf8353]

I found one in my shower once, scared the hell out of me 😂😂😂😂

[@Apple-ei1ms]

Cane spiders are a huntsman spider species

[@mhenderson7673]

We have a similar spider in my country and my mum has dropped several bowls of cereal because of them suddenly appearing (once one crawled out of her sleeve and onto her hand!). Super scary but harmless XD

[@Velociiraptor]

I went to Costa Rica a few months ago! Some animals I could identify were: Green iguana Spinytail iguana White throated Magpie jay Great tailed grackle (I saw a baby!) Capuchin monkey Mantled Howler monkey (almost dropped a mango on my head) Unknown jumping spider species Variegated squirrel Moon jelly Hermit crab Unknown crab species Unknown sea slugs Morning geckos (possibly) Raccoons! (They were in the restaurant!!) Unknown Seahorse Paper wasp Central America amieva Blue morpho Unknown butterflies Sandpiper Little blue heron Unknown small yellow birds

[@CrimsonWolf132]

the yellow birds might be bananaquits, they have yellow bellies and hang out on the resorts.

[@clarehidalgo]

Yeah, the green iguana are super invasive in Puerto Rico

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

Aren't green iguanas super invasive everywhere they can be? They are survivors.

[@areallyshortbrontothere]

My cousin went a few months ago too!

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

Green iguanas are native to Costa Rica. In the Caribbean, they were mostly introduced, but there is the possibility of them being carried by storms on rafts, not the man-made kind. Especially from 1 introduced island to others where humans did not bring them. They are a species that are very good survivors.

[@awesome654321]

I had no idea about jelly reproduction, thats pretty incredible! My favorite part of your channel is all the cool knowledge you share. Animals are so cool.

[@Dolce.Banana]

That tunnel adventure had me on the edge. You guys are so brave

[@StonedtotheBones13]

It helps when you have an adventure partner. Altho word of warning to others, be careful where you go, as you may be prosecuted. The real horror: lawyers

[@M16erite-cu6th]

Finally, recognition of the Mediterranean house gecko in the reptile community!

[@ithurtssogood27]

So glad you guys had some time to just have fun. Thanks for including us!

[@NaNaBooBoo24]

Yeah, they didn't include us for the tax write off & an excuse to use Patrion funds AND get paid while on their vacation cruise.

[@emmagal5659]

Emily: these spiders are not dangerous me, an arachnophobe at the verge of hyperventilating: they are if they give me a *heart attack*

[@amandastakeonit7402]

I couldn't watch that part!

[@neolithiumproduction]

Same... xD

[@IrinaGreenman]

Yeah, same. Snake Discovery and Clint's Reptiles are both helping me with my arachnophobia, but that one was still too much for me right now.

[@bluedragonwitch]

i love spiders but your comment made me laugh 😂

I gotta say this channel really fueled my spark of interest in reptiles, and now I just graduated vet school and am planning to work on exotics, especially reptiles! Hope you guys enjoyed your vacation!!!

[@elowyndemontigny544]

This is the only channel that can post non-content related videos and I'm still happy to watch. You two are the highlight of my Tuesdays 🎉

[@PhantomKit157]

If anyone told me you were going into a tunnel of doom, I would absolutely believe that it was following a reptile 😂

[@SmexyMinion]

They would go through shelobs lair from LOTR following shelob lmao

[@bbii2121]

I love how the video just turned into a found footage horror movie half way in 😂 that tunnel was so eerie.

[@normalhuman9878]

0:58 I think that little bush on your left there might be a baby black locust tree. I’m not 100% sure if it is, but black locusts are really cool. The wood is very hard and resistant to rot, the flowers are edible despite the rest of the tree being toxic, and the wood glows under black light

[@Nepeta-Leijon]

thats awesome

[@abbybrown638]

Catching lizards with your partner seems like vacation goals.

[@CricketsMa]

Good job finding the butterflies! Sorry about the lack of reptiles. Still a fantastic trip. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@Mew2Man]

Definitely looks like an old abandoned military battery! Very familiar with the one near the camping grounds we like, Battery Russel- it's along the bike trail there so we always hang out and picnic over there. I'd never seen another though so it was weird seeing this one! All concrete and random holes, including the giant gun turret hole. We used to think it would be AWESOME for laser tag in the dark... but the random holes in the ground make that a liiiiittle too dangerous 😂 Petition to modify old military batteries to be safe for laser tag!

[@warbirdlover2766]

I watched one of those exact types of Huntsman haul a full size house gecko straight up the wall. She sat there staring at me with this gecko hanging out of her mouth like some creepy 8 legged Jaguar, lol.

[@Nepeta-Leijon]

WOW!!!

[@owlivdejong5086]

My grandparents lived on St Thomas when I was a child and we used to "hang" the lizards on our ear lobes (they bite) for pictures. The 80s were different.

[@123penrose]

Grew up in the 2000s in St John and we did the same thing

As a Jamaican 🇯🇲I was cackling at you trying to catch a ground lizard. 😂😂 They're RIDICULOUSLY quick, and are actually known for being more aggressive than evasive. You haven't felt fear till you've been chased by a Jamaican ground lizard 😅😂

[@123penrose]

I'm from St John and catching lizards was basically my hobby as a kid. They are fast! If they wanted to catch some they should have asked some local kids for help

[@TheSeptemberRose]

Wow! That was pretty brave going into that abandoned bunker! I like how you decided to just "get outa there!"

[@justicierodelaliga]

Puerto Rican here: 1- So sad you didn´t get a chance to view/catch a Coquí frog. Although I´m sure you heard it in El Yunque since they´re everywhere. 2- All my life I´ve seen those spiders and didn´t know they were Jumping Spiders. 3- The Puerto Rican Iguana...good luck. I don´t know of ANYONE that had catched one. 4- As for the milipedes I remember playing with them as a kid in school.

[@knate44]

Actually fun snail fact, even though they have both types of gonads, they actually can't mate with any snail because their shells have to be in the same direction, otherwise it is too difficult for them to "lock up".

[@bugtalk84]

Herping and finding bugs while on a cruise would be awesome, amazing fun. Emily's enthusiasm made me smile.

[@lainiecooper5556]

@@NaNaBooBoo24 Some you-tubers use their funds from KZbin and Patrion irresponsibly or in ways that don't benefit their fans, but snake discovery is not one of them. They use a lot of the money they earn to take care of their reptiles, keep up and even improve the zoo/retail center, adopt out reptiles through adoption island that had no other hope for a new life, and even do some cool pin give-aways at reptile events! I know you don't want the money people give to snake discovery to be misused and you are just looking out for others but you must remember that Emily and Ed want what is best for this chanal and its fans just like you! One last thing to keep in mind is that everyone giving money to snake discovery is doing so under their own terms and completely consensually so if they didn't like what was happening they would stop if they wanted to!

[@wesleyson21]

This reminds me of the herping I did while on my honeymoon in St John just over a year ago. I caught some small geckos and almost caught a ground lizard as well but they are so wily. I ended up catching two different green iguanas including one who was taking a dip in the ocean. He was so calm and didn't try to bite or tail whip me at all.
