Rosie definitely takes after her namesake! Love her ❤

[@Julaeable]

❤

[@izzyherod6303]

Thank you for helping them acquire her!! She's beautiful and I love the name Rosie ❤❤ My sympathies for your loss of your mom ❤❤ (Edit, sorry I said grandma lol. Ed saying " Grandma rosie " threw me off lol. But now that I'm watching it again I get that he was saying she was the snake's grandma)

[@ithulah]

❤❤❤

[@chastitymarks2185]

She is gorgeous 😍, thank you for buying her.

[@Elin.Noller]

I'm guessing your mom had plenty of personality too

[@haleyhoudini]

The artist of the blue snake must be THRILLED for how much it sold for! It was a beautiful piece of art, and even more impressive that it was painted during the conference!

[@mallorypriakos7829]

I actually have 4 pieces of hers! She is incredible and so so talented. She deserves all of the credit and praise for her work😁

[@BlueHart13Art]

I would cry if I was them lol

[@YarnBird13]

I know, right! I personally think it should have gone for more, and the fact that the artist painted it during the show! All that distractions!

[@christinacapen8926]

It is very beautiful an so much talent, I'm pretty sure she often paints right at some of the events but either way she makes amazing art

[@houndgirl7365]

​@@YarnBird13 actually easier than you might think. Just put on some earbuds or headphones and art. I used to paint at the bus stop waiting to go to my art classes one just learns how to do. I do agree amazing piece😊

[@Tyranzor64]

Ed is such an animal geek, it's great. Comes to a reptile show "acquires" a puppy

[@aedoria]

not to mention geeking out about bees with the fans that gave them the honey!

[@phylliswells289]

I want to know if Ed got to keep the puppy?

[@ihatethisaccount]

@@phylliswells289 Probably not, it was likely just a joke and he probably gave back the puppy afterward. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I assume Ed and Emily are currently fairly busy people and don’t have the time to care for a puppy. It would be like having a 2nd Cheyenne.

[@reesespp3965]

@@phylliswells289 i think it was mentioned in an old video that emily as allergic to dogs unfortunately, despite how much ed wants one!

[@pandoraaaraseth1040]

I think Ed's adorable personality really showed during that interaction, it warmed my heart. "He didn't need two, so I just took this one." lmbo Ed and Emily work so much, and such LONG hours that often when Ed is on camera his energy is low. That's my favorite thing about some shows, it's like they are both reinvigorated with childlike enthusiasm (the best kind of enthusiasm if you ask me), about their lives passion. I do have one gripe though: It was dress like Ed OR Emily, and while I'm sure many dressed like Ed, none were featured...? I would have rocked a Pokemon shirt, jeans and a zip up hoodie half zipped, probably would have carried a camera and car keys since Ed is always the driver and more often than not, the videographer. It could have helped to have a lanyard with a pass of some kind around my neck (or I could have used it to hold a beloved Pokemon card 🤷), but I think no matter what way you slice it, it would ha e said ED. I'd just have to keep a fun loving smile on my face, tease my partner while looking at them and supporting them lovingly, and it would have been obvious. Lol

[@blue_butterfly645]

Emily: I want some snakes for retail. Ed: Okay! Emily: Stuff like Corn snakes, King snakes, Milk snakes and a female Mossy leaf-tailed gecko for the zoo. Ed: Sure! Emily: OH! And Hognoses! I want MORE. Ed: Oh… okay…

[@highjinx6519]

She said “all the hognoses” lol. Poor Ed 😂

[@hannahbrown9136]

That is the voice of a man mentally calculating how many more baby racks he’s gonna have to buy and fit in to the reptile room 😂

[@Snowpawstherian]

Poor Ed

[@spamham897]

Can never have enough hognoses 😅

[@LaceyAuston]

@@hannahbrown9136 lol

[@MissCatherineStarr]

We loved seeing you guys there! My daughter Eleanor still talks about meeting you every day! Also, we figured out a name for our leopard gecko. His name is Petrie!

[@JG.Fierstar]

Your daughter was so cute. ❤

[@juliefisher9361]

Emily walking through the building with kids jumping and squeaking in excitement warmed my cold, dead heart. What a great couple of role models to have kids geek out about.

[@cami5173]

Emily is a great role model for us adults too! Her outgoing and kind personality has genuinely helped me become a nicer person, and better at my job in customer services! Ed and Emily could have a channel about watching paint dry and I’d still tune in ☺️❤️

[@RayDayPlays]

Seriously! If I had someone like her and'or Ed when I was a kid, I would have never been afraid of snakes to start with! Though im grateful they got rid of my fear :D Now I think snakes are adorable and love reptiles overall!

[@WolvieXXXZandalari]

I love that Eds embraced his role on camera. I remember the days of shy Ed. Great work guys! Love ur vids!!

[@katbairwell]

Yes! And he bings his special brand of snark to balance out Emily's unwavering positivity

[@YarnBird13]

I first watched snake discovery in the 2nd or 1st year that they has started! I watched one of their oldest bullsnake hatching video, and then, a year ago, I stumbled upon them again, and now I have a crested gecko!

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

People have been saying this in every single comments section for the past 4 years....

[@amya-kit.Conner.version-]

@@LunatheMoonDragon fr

[@Bear_the_shepherd]

​@@LunatheMoonDragon because it's lovely seeing a comfortable, confident Ed. People relate to his discomfort and people genuine just like him as an individual and what he brings to the videos/channel. It's okay for people to show others some love. I also enjoy seeing Ed happy 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@themurrrr]

That Ed and puppy moment was just so precious ❤

[@kyrab7914]

I'm re watching and may have replayed that bc it's so adorable

[@rachelmack568]

What about calling the new blue monitor Lapis or Lazuli? It’s a blue precious stone with some gorgeous patterning like her!

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

Really glad to see you guys got another sable, I was sad after Sabelle passed away, especially since it seemed like she was Ed’s favorite and you guys were really looking forward to some sable babies. That fan is so sweet to buy one for you guys, Rosie’s gonna be a great addition.

[@YarnBird13]

That snake painting was BEAUTIFUL! That is extreme talent, (and in my opinion,) it totally should’ve gone for more! And the fact that they not only painted it during the expo, but also didn’t even get any of the money! That is amazingly kind-hearted to donate more than 4,000 dollar-worth painting!

[@peacelovewar98]

It made me really happy to hear the price started at $100 and got up to $4,400 and the baby rack started at $1,000 and went for $4,600. It showed how much people really appreciated her artwork to get it to such a high price, especially in comparison to a first of its kind rack.

[@kyrab7914]

I think she's done a piece like this before iirc. Smthn about the artist holding her own painting seems familiar. *She is I believe the artist in the vid where she got married at a show as well.

[@annetheelf8174]

I always forget how tall Emily and Ed are until they go to expos and interview people of normal heights

[@KaitlynBurtonISaGOD]

I gotta say that first girl in the meet and greet was absolutely adorable, your fans love you but I love how wholesome our community is. Hopefully one day I can fly across the pond, I'd love to attend these big shows they don't seem to have any in England

[@katbairwell]

Fellow UK fan, just saying hello, and in 100% agreement, these shows look amazing - but very dangerous to the bank balance!

[@wenglishsal]

Totally agree with your comment and the ones above mine.. As a watcher from Wales, we have nothing like this over here, but I love watching Emily & Ed, they are great.

[@KaitlynBurtonISaGOD]

​@@katbairwell ahah yeah definitely as pricey as Vegas 😅

[@KaitlynBurtonISaGOD]

​@@wenglishsal honestly I agree, these videos definitely have made me keep an eye out for anything in my area

[@yogarcia6066]

You have the International Herpetological Society Show, in Milton Keynes this year

[@AriStJohn-rp3lp]

I already love Rosie, what a strong personality

[@AloneInTheGarden]

Ironically, the first puppy my husband and I adopted together came from a reptile show in Kansas City. A snake breeder’s dog had puppies and he brought them to the show in a storage tote. 😂 13 years later, we still have him.

[@ThePhoenixUnderwater]

Ed: "I don't know which one is my wife!" That had me laughing so hard!!!! I love you guys so much!!! Looks like you had a ton of fun!!!! That shirt Calia gave you, I love it!! It may as well have Emily written all over it!!! That puppy is adorable!!! I love Frenchies!!!! Hoggie thinks Emily is a snack!!!! You will fit in perfectly with Emily and Ed miss Rosie!!

[@StarDune26]

You can tell Emily works with kids often, that first little girl coming up dressed as me would have had me sobbing, so cute omg

[@sh969]

I was kinda surprised no one dressed up as Emily in Buc-ees. I was really expecting that. Also, I love that Emily gives exposure to other breeders and different types of reptiles that they may not breed

[@ZeFroz3n0ne907]

Aw.. I think Rosie is going to give Omnomlette a run for her money. (I am so sorry for your loss, Xanthi! ❤) Sending lots of love & big hugs!

[@Ryzrr]

aye yooo thanks for letting me talk tree monitors with you! was cool seeing you guys again. I've been posting a bit of tree monitor related content to my channel recently for anyone looking ^.^ you guys will do great with those blues!

[@KumatheCatalyst]

Video idea/request(?): A video showing all the basics you need to safely and happily house a hognose! I always get nervous watching videos that give lots of different advice and I would love a tutorial from my favourite reptile nerds before I think about getting one!

[@somethingcats]

Wait a minute. That drink was left there all weekend!!! It was YOU I was at the show and im so happy i got to see you! I was the one with the blue hair who quite literally only waved and said Hi. Next time ill get the courage to talk...

[@rachelwoodward5476]

Thanks for posting this today. I really needed the distraction. I lost my beloved bearded dragon, Murdock, this morning. Thank you Emily and ed for everything you do for the reptile community. You’re videos always make me happy

11:10 There's a dog in that man's bag lol I had to go back and look because I thought it was a rabbit at first 😅 Also, fantastic timing on a video, I just woke up and it's already a horrible day so I needed a distraction. As usual, thank you guys for taking us along on your adventures and showing us all the super cool stuff/animals you get to see.

[@alfadrottning42]

Blue Tree Monitor name suggestion: Saphira. She'd be named after a dragon from the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

[@ghost.mp3]

i love those books. glad there's finally a sequel on the way

[@flame-29936]

Perfect name! ❤️

[@dingosaur-mx5nq]

The intro was amazing. Thank you guys for being a reptile community and making me wanna get a ball python and now I already have one.🎉🎉

[@ronjapettersson4240]

"I have a Corn snake in my backpack" should be the new "there's a snake in my boot"

[@YochevedDesigns]

Emily's infectious cheerfulness always makes my day. Hoggin' up all the hognoses!

[@ScreemBean]

The little black dragon was waved around so much while he talked. 😂

[@katbairwell]

I love, love how generous you guys are with your video time, sharing as many small vendors with as big of an audience as possible!

[@anndownsouth5070]

If anybody told me 5 years ago that I would watch reptile videos and "Aww cute," seeing a couple of hognose snakes, I would have told them they are nuts. But that is what I did when you showed the hognoses. Also the blue monitor is beautiful. How about Azure as a name for her or Bluey (then Ed can pretend that she is a dog)😜💕🐾

[@spamham897]

Yeah got to admit I am in the same boat lol 😂 Snake Discovery really changed my viewpoint on snakes

[@resonantmoonaudio]

Listen, the softness of a shaved leg is similar to touching a snake right out of shed. So good. I wish I could have gone to this. Would have dressed as Ed for sure! Hope you all had a great time.

[@linnywines8014]

Beautiful critters as always-I loved Rosie especially! As a name for the new Blue Tree Monitor, might I suggest Lapis Lazuli? It’s a blue gem stone

[@s.ironhart]

I have to say I love the fact that Ed and Emily are willing to and get to interview all of these different breeders and sellers. It’s definitely one of my favorite parts when watching these kinds of videos.

[@LiSSie_Lou22]

It was so generous of the donation you made toward Brian.

[@shades_of_darkness6154]

I missed that what did they do

[@LiSSie_Lou22]

Donation towards Brian at the auction. It's not on there video. I saw it on someone else's. I wish they would mention it show public support to Brian and his journey. Have there fans send some positive vibes his way. But probably won't happen unfortunately. I hope they prove me wrong.

[@YTDaimera]

The little hungry hog at the end is KILLING me. 🤣 Rosie, you little goof.

[@willow_haven3226]

Please do an updated meet all our snakes video! It'd be so interesting to see who you all still have vs your newer snakes 🐍

[@TorenSpaceQueen]

The hog noose gently putting her mouth on you was so cute

[@RichardFleming]

OK that little chompy hognose just made my day. So cute.

[@lowlifeexotics3070]

Been impatiently waiting for this!! March Tinley was sooooo awesome 💯

[@lexip24]

AWWWWW! Look at how Ed looked at that puppy, I mean, surely that’s enough to convince you! New addition to the snake discovery family? I think yes!

[@ThePhoenixUnderwater]

Emily is allergic, but seems open to the idea, as her allergies got better when she stayed with Ed's family and 2 English Setters!! I could definitely see them adopting a dog!!! I know Ed wants an Australian Shepherd, but that Frenchie, super cute, and he seemed in love!!

[@Princess_Shanie]

I’m really happy you two are taking a break from vending and can just enjoy. :)!! You two do so much for everyone and it’s time for you to do something nice for yourself and have a relaxing time!!

[@DestinyGPlus3]

Okay Okay Okay. If Ed really got a puppy, we a need an introduction and continuous update of the furry "reptile" !!!!

[@Dodl1]

I think it was just shananagan 😉

[@Heretobeyourmom]

Omg the blue tree monitor is gorgeous!!! I can’t wait for them to breed!! And welcome Rosie to the fam❤

[@Bluefoxx]

Can I just say how cute the puppy is in the man's bag at 11:11 🥺 omg!!! Can't be the only one who spotted!?

[@nataliesreptiles]

That was an amazing auction night. Such a roller coaster of emotions. Between Potter's mom, the Barczyk donations, and the fight for all the big guys to one-up each other with bids, it was a great show. I was even lucky enough to be able to get a really awesome BP from JD Constriction for a great deal. There were also so many amazing reptiles & amphibians. I jumped on a pair of Meeker Sanoran Gophers of really cool morphs that I'd seen last October at Tinley. Couldn't pass em up.

[@ashleytraub5363]

The middleswarth chips are actually from Pennsylvania! They are one of the many things I miss from back home! 😊

[@11hilkr]

Those BBQ chips are my ultimate favs. So good. Definitely a central PA delicacy.

[@elainewood5887]

Yay! A new sable. They are my second favorite after the lavenders, was bummed when Sabelle passed and we wouldn’t get to see babies but now we have a new girl!! She’s a sassy one too, that loves to eat it looks like. Will fit right in with the other girls like busty Rhonda and omnomlette lol

[@aliciagates1]

$4,300 for that snake painting? WOW! I bet the artist was super happy about that. It was a very beautiful painting.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

Omg those boas at the beginning were hilarious. All hissing! My boas never really hiss except one baby Sonoran female, and only in her cage. Poor boas, hope they calmed down! Tho I know they also can be hissy even when not actually scared and just talkative lol

[@stevenpatrickmilton1248]

The intro has me rolling how did you literally turn on the sun Emily?? 😂😂

For the blue tree monitor I think it would be cute to name her Sky 🩵 they are so cute can't wait to see the next video 😊

[@SweetSummerSewing]

You guys are awesome! I actually picked up my first baby hognose from JMG at Tinley. All because of your hognose videos lol. (also I hope you liked the stickers in the derpy rex envelope!)

[@stevenpatrickmilton1248]

I have a corn snake in my backpack sounds suspiciously like something Emily has for sure whispered conspiratorially during grade school.

[@DRAG0NSPIRIT10]

What a sweet person, to buy you a replacement sable Hognose after the sudden passing of Cybele (think that was how her name was spelt). Though with a feeding response like that I'd keep an eye on that girl during breeding time, Omnomelette might have some competition for the title of "Baby Eater" 😂.

[@kellster2193]

Your new monitor is absolutely gorgeous. I am glad she found a happy new home with you all.

[@EclecticallyEccentric]

You know you're an adult when your first thought at the little girl listing her dream reptiles was, "Save up, kid. Sunbursts aren't cheap."

[@dolly97123]

I was thinking your monitor could be named after a precious stone like sapphire, turquoise ( turq) for short, or lapis. Her scales look like beads and reminded me of the bead lizards I’d make in elementary school.

[@tracywilliams5024]

Hi Emily and Ed I use to be so scared 😱 of Snakes my little girl got me to watch your videos I am still scared of snakes 🐍 but I learn so much stuff from your videos that it's not as bad as I use to be😊

[@captnlars]

Hey Ed & Em! If you do want to go to New York, on May 7th is the Capital District Reptile Expo, in Albany, NY. It's a smaller local show, but I've always found fantastic animals there, with some real quality put into them. And I suggest naming the blue tree monitor Cricket, though I wonder if you'll still get that reference 😅

[@oriaanhunter]

I was the one who bribed them with NY gifts!! I hyped up the white plains expo since it's larger but as an Albany local I'd be THRILLED if they came to my hometown. Also don't tell me you are also a Cricket Blue fan OwO

Genuinely curious how Emily's bite turned out - when I was bit by my baby hognose, he latched on for about 3 minutes before I could get him off - my finger was totally swollen for a week and sore for about a month where he had bitten 😅 luckily it healed up with no long term consequences

[@FrokenEngstrom]

Lovely animals you're bringing home with you! Not sure if you'll see this as you have a huge amount of followers, but here goes. I'm really scared of snakes, I live in Sweden so I don't risk getting bit by any that are more venomous than regular wasps, plus we only have three species here. But still I'm super scared whenever I see one and I'm always hyperaware of their potential existence around me summertime. I don't think the fear is healthy nor justified. So I thought I'd try and treat the fear by looking more on snakes in a safe environment. Videos on KZbin is as safe as it gets! Your videos where among the first I checked out. And who knew! A couple of months later, I have all kinds of knowledge of different snake species and breeding programs, find several adorable and OF COURSE check out all your videos the minute I see you've posted something new. I even think I could hold a snake now. So thank you so megamassivemuch for your educating videos and down to earth approach!!!

[@missqueenbee98]

If it makes you feel better, in general fears have 2 reasons behind their existence which is bad experiences or lack of knowledge

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

5:27 I had to go back twice to see if that iguana they had on display was real! That's insane!

[@DrachenGothik666]

The little girl named Khalea was adorable! I had cat named Khalea many, many years ago, an orange tabby that I rescued off of a road divider. She'd been attacked by some animal and had bites all over her hind legs, poor girl. She was terrified and skinny and I loved her tons. Got her fed and happy and healed up. She even had a litter of pretty kittens! Sadly, she passed away from some mysterious ailment shortly afterwards.
