Hatching the Smallest Hognoses of the Year!

Since you are breeding Waffle and Flapjack in hopes of getting TOFFEE hognoses, you should do a dessert/candy theme for the eggs next year.

@@Sliberry I could see that, but no one is having chocolate covered pancakes for breakfast unless you go to a kitschy diner or a kid's center like a chuck e cheese. People don't regularly eat that stuff. Our breakfast is eggs, bagels, waffles, pancakes, sausage, cereal, toast, grits, etc. The sweet stuff is for kids.

Well he definitely proved affective

[@sarhahillsburg5142]

Lumpy said "Hey! Don't count me out just yet 😤 i promise ALL my eggs will be fertile AND hatch all on they own." Lol maybe they should breed more normal. Would make more pairs who not related at all like they said which could prove better? Also idk how they price but more normals could make their snakes more affordable for 1st timers who just want cute baby.

[@loorthedarkelf8353]

They say HE'S a good breeder but that just means his partners readily accept him and he's also 100% DTF, it takes two to tango and apperently Lumpy falls under the 'sexy AND enthusiastic' category if all his partners so far have been equally receptive XD

[@snakewithapen5489]

I know for a breeder it's definitely inconvenient because you can't sell them for as much as you can make with fancy morphs and you have to wait another year to make that profit, but I always feel bad when people talk about wild types like they're such a dissapointment lol. Personally I find the wild types *much* prettier on some snakes than any other morphs, like with ball pythons and corn snakes :)

[@-Ghostess]

@@snakewithapen5489 Common boas have the prettiest wild type pattern. Especially with their big golden heads.

[@snakewithapen5489]

Personally my favorite is wild type corn snakes, they're just such a *gorgeous* amber rusty reddish color with pretty darker brown saddles, and I like them a lot more than any of the other corn morphs like anery or albino.

[@kaboomsihal1164]

it's good to get some new genetics into the breeding pool though, especially with them having some of the "fancy genes" so they are still worth breeding for fancy genes with other fancy gene snakes. Financially not that awesome but still, not the worst thing in the world imo.

[@thereptileroomeh8646]

My theory is that hogs need to do their first shed while their skin is still very humid from the egg. Being that the first shed is very thin and delicate, and hogs have quite significant keelation on their scales, they may run into issues with stuck shed if they get to dry

[@valeriepark9444]

Especially since the plains hognoses live (and hatch) in relatively arid climates. Usually July/August in the midwest is quite dry.

[@jessicakoster2543]

I wonder if the skin gets tougher with each shed. It could be to make their skin less vulnerable.

[@ediearcher7224]

Given that several other snake species don’t shed immediately out of the egg, I think it’s just a leftover mutation that wasn’t disadvantageous so it wasn’t bred out naturally

[@warriormaiden9829]

Glad that you guys have been getting some sort of sustenance during all of this craziness. If you feel that you don't have time to cook during the week, crock pot and freezer meals are your best friends. Lots of recipes freeze surprisingly well, and crock pots are amazing. You guys probably have one at home, but I'd like to recommend one for the shop as well as a small oven. Dedicate a small section of the freezer at the shop (or get a small one of those as well) and a section of your freezer at home, and fill both with pre-prepped/cooked meals. Set aside a day every other week and use that to shop and cook/prep everything. That way, you'll have food if you decide to work late or are too tired to cook when you get home. Just toss whatever in the crock pot or oven to heat and chow down when it's ready. A bit healthier than fast food, a much larger menu possible, and it's far cheaper in the long run. :)

[@gavm7075]

I'm actually in the same boat as them with the fast food era, but have been recommended this method (crockpot + similar) so much! Do you have any favorite recipes or names of foods you wouldn't mind sharing that I could look up? I always get so overwhelmed at the options as a new cook. 🥺 I would very much appreciate it!

[@khills]

@@gavm7075 chicken and wild rice soup is one of our go-to recipes, and it freezes well, too. The best thing might be to figure out what you like to eat and then look for crock pot recipes. That said, in general, Martha Stewart offers pretty foolproof recipes. They’re also accurate to time and quantity.

[@Riceball01]

I second the crock pot, my wife got an Instant Pot a few years back and it's proven to be so useful. We've mad all osrts of thing in it, including ribs htat literally fall of the bone, which my daughter doesn't like, she likes to be able to knaw the meat off the bone. Anway, they're so convenient, jsut a bit of prep, set the timer and you're all set.

[@warriormaiden9829]

@@gavm7075 Two of my favorites is Bean soup and White Chicken Chili. For the first, take a ham hock and toss it in. Add a good portion (a bag and a half is good) of beans, then add water. I like to use Black Turtless, Maya Cobas, or Great Northerns, but just about any bean will do. Then set it aside to cook on high. Seasonings can be whatever. We do garlic, basil, and thyme. Don't worry about salt until you dish up as there's plenty in the ham. White Chicken Chili 3 cans kidney beans (2 dark/1 light or vice versa) 2 cans great northern beans 2 cans pinto beans (substitute mayacoba beans for sweeter flavor) 1-2 cans corn 1-2 cans diced tomatoes (optional) 2-4 chicken breasts 1 McCormick White Chicken Chili seasoning packet Toss beans in large pot/crockpot, juice and all. Add corn and tomates (draining on these is optional. We drain the tomatoes, but not the corn). Add seasoning packet, stir in, and set to a simmer. In separate pot, boil the chicken. Do not drain the water, set it aside. Chop chicken, and add to everything else. Stir the chili once every half hour or so. As liquid evaporates, add in some of the chicken water. The longer it cooks, the more the flavors meld and the better it gets. Min cook time is 3 hours, no less, simply to get a good flavor. Best time is 5 hours cooked, overnight in fridge, and then reheated. 🤤 Serve with whatever you usually have with chili. We like sourdough bread bowls and a solid dusting of finely-shredded colby-jack cheese, no sour cream. However, you do you. *Note: if you are doing this for a freezer meal, use a crockpot liner. Put liner in the pot, toss everything in (including a half cup to a cup extra water) and forego the cooking (aside from the chicken. You'll want to cook the chicken). Cram in the freezer, pot and all, and let freeze. Remove liner from pot and wrap the frozen bundle well (cling wrap works fine). Store in freezer until needed. This way, you can just pull it out of the freezer, unwrap, and toss it in to cook the morning you need it without having problems with transferring containers. (Plus it makes clean up far easier. Always a big bonus. XD) If you'd like a few more, let me know! :)

[@Kaemea]

You might like my beef veggie soup. I never use measurements so I'll try to make them close. 1 - 1.5 lbs ground beef 1 package mixed vegetables (don't get the soup ones, just the regular) 1 large can V8 or comparable stuff 1 large V8 can of water 2 russet or 4 red skinned potatoes if desired 4 chicken bouillon cubes or to taste 6 beef bouillon cubes or to taste (occasionally, if I have them, I'll use the packs from ramen noodles instead.) 1-2 bay leaves to taste. Remember to remove them before eating. (guess how I know that. LOL) Any spices you enjoy, to taste. We like rosemary, thyme, and sometimes oregano. Husbunny likes sage but I'm not a fan so we split the pot) Put it all in a large crockpot and pour the V8 and water over it. Cook on low for 6~ hours. If you're home, check once to make sure that the ground beef isn't a clump. If cooking in a soup pot, same as above only cook on medium for 2-3 hours then turn to low and let simmer as long as desired.

Hi Emily. I saved a baby hognose from a flea trap in my basement, no clue how it got down there but the little boy (he has a long tail) kept flicking his tongue in and out as I gently got the trap off his belly and wrapped his tail around my finger as if to say thank you yesterday I thought it was a garter snake at first before I looked it up. He was grey with black spots so not a normal Idk which morph he was but I put him in the woods where he came from on a plant. Went to check on him about half an hour later and he was gone all safe and happy

[@-Ghostess]

In the wild more likely a normal than a morph. They have a couple regional subspecies with different colors. Emily and Ed have Westerns from the Plains subspecies (most common in the pet trade). The Mexican has a more yellow undertone, and Dusty are a more chocolate tone with their colors. Here in the southeast we get grey and black patterned Easterns, and Southerns that are grey-brown with dark brown spots, and a gorgeous red fade between spots.

While I agree with you it is always good for the animal to be more valuable. People tend to treat them better. It's a sad fact.

In shedding so soon maybe it's a preservation thing? Maybe hognoses shed so soon because it gets rid of that fresh hatched smell so predators don't smell them instantly and therefore the babies are able to move off and hide faster. This is just a guess

The problem there is that if it had noteworthy advantages for how many babies survive, basically every snake would be doing it.

[@summerstults2326]

@@sampagano205 my apologies for a late response been a rough couple of weeks for my family. But wouldn't all snakes be live birth then seeing as how there is a tactical advantage there? Being able to get away as soon as they are born does sound like an advantage yet not all snakes are live birth.

[@summerstults2326]

It could also be a food situation. Most snakes shed right before they start feeding so it could do with something along those lines. I mean hognoses shed almost immediately after hatching even seen some hatching in shed. Maybe it is so they can start eating sooner because of their primariy food sources?

Every day I am twiddling my thumbs hoping we will get a baby vid from Snake Discovery 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I ♥️ BABY SEASON!!!

[@tea-tea5427]

AAAAAH WHY ARE SNAKES SO CUTE I LOVE DEM

[@christyraymo7913]

so sweet if runt makes it you should keep her. I know from different pets I have had that the runts are special and realy loving.

[@blizzard_potato1225]

It died :( check the description

[@luxisntlucky]

SO EXCITED I LOVE HOGNOSES so cute 🥺🤚

[@kaylamunday2108]

I dot an axolotl yesteray and its really cute, they are quite easy to care for but they can grow to about 1 and a half foot, I think they are a really good addition to people's homes

[@krisdraper793]

Emily & Ed, thank you for keeping up on videos while you have had SOOO much going on with the store and zoo! Please stop apologizing, everyone understands. There is only 24 hours in a day The runt should be named Gram/Graham if he/she makes it.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Runty's markings are so cool!

[@cacklebarnacle15]

seeing all those plain white hides and water dishes, would a colouring contest outside of the shop next spring/summer be a thing you would do? find some reptile safe paints and have the kids at the zoo run wild. you could put them up for a vote on social media and the winning kid gets a prize. and you'd have some cute individual hides and water dishes.

[@KeeperofMolgera]

That actually sounds like a cute idea. As long as they got reptile safe paints that would be a great way to get kids involved

[@MajiggerRose]

Honestly, I still so much prefer the wild type pattern for hognoses, but I get that morphs are more profitable and fun to experiment with. Best of luck for next year and thank you for still sharing what have become possibly my favorite snake species!

[@weplaytowin]

I miss you guys showing the feedings. :( Will that come back once things normalize at the facility?

[@rosettafuryiwa1159]

i think its a wird youtube thing now about showing feedings for snanks that eat roadence idk tho [ps i cant spell atm lol ]

[@kittybun8845]

KZbin flags feedings as animal abuse towards mice, even if they're already dead.

[@Ochibason]

With this missing can be a blessing is disguise. Beautiful hatch! Watch they all grow up to be HUGE!!

[@sumgolfer41]

As someone who is terrified of snakes I cannot click fast enough on new videos! 😂

[@KeeperofMolgera]

Emily is such a wonderful ambassador for snakes, has watching her videos helped at all with your fear?

[@sheilawallerseibert461]

@@KeeperofMolgera Definitely helped me. I still don't want to I run into them outside, but I have become able to handle my daughter and SIL's ball pythons now where before I didn't even want to be in the same room!

[@sumgolfer41]

@@KeeperofMolgera She is wonderful! A little bit, I’d still freak out if I saw one in or around my house.

[@tatilibero3]

Same! She's almost transformed me into wanting to get a beginner snake. But I have 3 cats and have raised rats and don't know if I can handle the feeding. I've gotten over the fear of holding other people's snakes (no herping for me though) but the feeding still makes me sick :(

[@hhwatson7610]

I was so grossed out by snakes until I watched one of Emily’s videos last year…now I have a 7 month old albino conda Hognose! And it’s all her fault😂

[@snowlepord5394]

I watch the babies hatch over and over again but they are always so exiting

[@Broccolaicy]

"If you keep hognose together, They eat alot better" Sounds like you're trying to convince me with that rhymy motto 😂😂 (i don't know if you know what I'm trying to imply but 🤷🏻)

[@Aliyah0.0]

I remember the old garter birth videos and they were also 1 gram. Frickin adorable! Hope he thrives!

[@hwgoblin]

Commenting right before I found out about Deadpool: Wouldn’t it be so morbidly funny if the Deadpool baby was dead? But irl that would be sad :(

[@hebebebe139]

I thought the same 😥

[@naegwut]

I love seeing them set up the little houses

[@animemusicluver1]

If you ever have a livestream of babies hatching, definitely call it "hatching party"

[@OddLeah]

When it comes to cooking when busy, nothing beats an instantpot. Meat, gourds, rice, soup... Easy peasy! Im not sponsored, I just adore my instantpot and how much time and effort it has saved me!

[@madeline3868]

I have had to deal with too many hello fresh boxes rotting over a month as people won’t come pick them up to the point that have to slam the skip forward button during any of their sponsorship. I can’t even think of how bad it smells!

[@andrinehelenkjeldsberg1387]

You could clearly see all the veins running along the inside of the shell aswell, so cool! It would be a perfect opportunity to also explain that part, when we see blood it’s from those veins and not the baby

[@susanmanley4956]

As a property manager I have used the “eh, they will be evicted anyways” line before.

[@rikrob]

I beyond love the smell of my hognose. He's just turned 2 months, so surely it cannot be proper baby smell, but whatever it is I wish I could make air freshners with that aroma for the rest of the house. 😊 Lot of super cuties you've got in these hatchings.

[@mikkajones1493]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@owllover1237]

I've been watching these for years and every year at hatching season I have to tell myself 'no you can't have a snake, no matter how cute they are, no' but this video might have finally pushed me over the edge, the image of the little hog next to its mum wiggling over Emily's hand was catastrophically cute and now I desperately need a hognose of my own.

[@krystalandujar4888]

Love watching your videos Ive been watching your videos for a few years im scared of snakes but because of you and what you do im getting a better understanding and im getting less scared of them more and more and hatching videos are soooo cute 😍

[@AMLBF]

Congrats on your new baby snakes Waffles and lumpy! (Or Flapjack somehow…)🐍😍👏

[@Rainbowsofanxiety]

This was the first hello fresh ad I didn’t skip through.

[@A.R.T.istic77738]

I miss the feeding videos... you guys made it so educational and normal...

[@themineralmonsters]

Hey hey! Long time subscriber! We had our first ever hognose clutch and followed the "grouping them" method.. and they are eating so great. We got a bunch of runts and have to cut pinkies, but it's been awesome! Thank you for content!

[@Queen_of_chaos]

Can’t we agree that Emily & Ed make us happy and entertained with ALL the videos! ^^

[@DM-ez4em]

My daughter and I love and look forward to every video you post!!! Good luck with tour zoo!!! ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️😘❤️😘

[@lesamonroe2355]

The hatching videos are my favorite videos those baby snakes of any species are so precious and cute I love puppy breath so I would probably like just hatched smell lol thanks for the videos they always put a smile on my face

[@hmjolley]

Those are some adorable normals! The variation in colors is beautiful

[@heatherjones6490]

I think the “normals” are gorgeous. I prefer the wild colors on most snakes but it’s always so hard to find them. Also, they’re really healthy

[@foxwoodjones9831]

Man, I just love the Lump-ster. He is such a stud. Literally. 😂
