Unexpectedly Babysitting our Friend's Reptile Collection

A good idea is also to talk to your exotic vet about your emergency plans. Especially for temporary situations. One year, we were hit by a freak hurricane that left us without power for 8 days in super hot weather, and I couldn’t keep my chinchillas cool. (I ran an a/c for them, since I lived in an apt.) My vet used generators during that time to stay open, and they were able to keep my chins the whole week. (& They were saints... didn’t even charge me, and every day when I visited to care for my little guys, they had already been fed and played with. The vet techs spoiled them rotten all week.

[@foxwoodjones9831]

Watching this video 7 months later, hoping your friend is doing better now. Thanks for being there for him (& his reptiles) in their time of need. ❤️❤️

[@lynniedoesinternet]

I’m so sorry for your friend’s condition 💔 I could tell just from the beginning that it was serious just by how subdued Emily was, but it hurt my heart to see how sad she got as the video went on. Thank you for filming this for us even though you’re suffering and it’s hard to have your heart all the way in it.

[@jessicabella5762]

Emily, I’ve never seen you so out of sorts. I can really see the concerns in your face. Thoughts and prayers to your friend. Take care, you’re an amazing couple.

[@KellyCampana]

Sending love and strength to the family and human who is in the hospital. Good friends who can care for your pets are hard to come by. Glad he has y'all.

[@nerdyninjatemptress]

ED’S HAIR LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! Also y’all are wonderful people for doing this friend of yours.

[@arandomthing2489]

I hope he gets better soon, he’s lucky to have you guys as friends!

[@erikasturquoisefeather4721]

Thanks for being such special people!

[@caryelizabeth624]

Oh my gosh. When Emily looked at the camera to tell her friend, "We love ya," I burst into tears. My heart.

[@munirahbakar4123]

This is a great lesson if you have or planning to have pets, especially exotic pets. Designating a competant caretaker in an emergency is a very wise plan.

[@howardmandel7930]

Just saw this video. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend for a full recovery. I had a bone marrow transplant two years ago so I know how fragile life can be.

[@sofagoat5426]

Sorry to hear about your friend. They sound very close to you because your moods have differed. Hope they get better they have my prayers 🙏

[@JDurham124]

He will be so relieved to know that his pets are in good care.

[@ariwoodward]

I hope the friend is ok! You're amazing for stepping up and taking care of them all even though I'm sure you were struggling too

[@powerfulkangaroo1679]

:0 I don’t have a snake but I never thought of having an emergency contact for my rabbit thank you, a lot of people don’t know how to properly care for them :)

[@tinkeramma]

It made me stop and think about what I'd want for my pey jumping spiders if something happened. They're weird pets even by most exotic pets standards but I'd still want them cared for.

[@KikiCuber]

I have two of my friends as my emergency contact for my dogs. They are so helpful whenever we’re traveling.

[@julian.amma97]

Is there perhaps a gofundme for the family and/or your friend's medical bills we could contribute to?

[@christinahoward367]

Yeah

[@georgenetegal7445]

Hi

[@amandastakeonit7402]

Go Fund Me is not a good operation they take a huge chunk of what is donated. It's best to just designate someone trusted that will collect and hold funds. A bank account in their name or with their name as the title and the trustee to pay towards the hospital, would be free and a better idea.

[@liliththecrestedgecko3815]

I believe they said his name. I really hope there is I would donate

[@liliththecrestedgecko3815]

@@amandastakeonit7402 idk know that. Thanks for the advice

[@ThatBoiCade]

I'm sorry about your friend and hope they get well soon, but y'all are really good friends for taking care of their reptiles until he gets better :)

[@Punkinkat]

I’m very lucky that everyone in my household loves my bearded dragon. So when I was hospitalized for a month for my major surgery they took great care of him. I’m going to make sure to thank them thoroughly tomorrow 😭

[@17andtravelling]

So sad to hear that he passed. Wishing you all the best. RIP Chad

[@TheDictionaryDuck]

Wait, he died? Nevermind, I read the community post. This is really sad.

[@daniivaa]

Oh no, I hope your friend is okay! I wish them the best and hope they recover :( But it’s an amazing thing that you are offering to help take care of their animals :)

[@kadiusfunari2802]

Emily : *holds foxsnake* Fox snake : YOU NOT MY DAD!

[@SpicyGoose.]

You guys are so awesome and I just want you to know that whatever is going on with your friend, even with how terrible that might be, you guys are super strong and kind for doing the things you’re doing for him. There is no reason to apologize for being sad either! Love you guys and I really hope those reptiles are a good reminder of the friendship between you and him over the years.

[@Frostmute19]

What a gorgeous collection, I an wishing for rapid recovery for your friend. He has excellent taste. Also that albino rosie should be nicknamed Creamsicle.

[@lj45551]

I really hope your friend starts to feeling better. He is really lucky to have y’all as friends taking care of his reptiles

[@Kaiahsavala]

Y'all are so sweet that is awesome of you and Ed I love y'all sm!! I will keep him/her in my prayers I hope he/she gets better❤

[@cordy3924]

[@aliyahneely8627]

I hope your grandma gets better

[@Me-iq4se]

Your friend is in my prayers. You guys are such good people.

[@kellykell121]

He is so lucky to have amazing friends like you all. His blue tongue sink is adorable. I love it already so much. Keep up the amazing work guys. And thank you for spreading this message. It was one we all needed to hear. Especially during the sad times we are all facing.

[@lolajoy7986]

I hope your friend recovers soon, I'm sure it provides him peace of mind to know his animals are in great hands.

[@conlon4332]

I'm sure that really helped his family that they didn't have to worry about his pets.

[@lovelife4111]

That's heartbreaking. You and Ed are very good friends. I hope your friend recovers...

[@Lozzo1390]

Wishing your friend the speediest of recovery and best wishes. He's lucky to have you guys as caregivers for his reptiles their in very good hands. You guys are amazing.

[@TheBachBabe]

It's so good that his family knew to call you. Thank you for sharing this important message. Prayers and best wishes for your friend.

[@elizajane8343]

I bet your friend is very thankful that you guys were able to step in and take care of his reptile collection. Thank goodness you guys were available ❤️

[@lizzw4216]

I really hope he’s okay, lucky his family knew what to do. I actually wrote a book like thing for family for my bearded dragon so they’d know how to care for him lol. I love skinks! Looked so chill.

[@happymom40]

I hope your friend will be ok, also you're amazing for helping take care of his animals
