This Hognose Snake Laid a HUGE Clutch of Eggs!

[@maryamaliya4077]

Waffle laid 18 eggs 2 years ago when she was mistakenly paired with Lumpy. Seems like she's a very productive breeder

All adult insects DO have 6 legs, it's part of what classifies a species as an insect. However, there are some bugs with 6 legs that ARE NOT insects, like springtails! They're called entognathous hexapods

[@auroragazm]

that's what i was thinking

Its cause in the case of Hogs, their bark is worse then their bite. They'll make all that racket, and even fake strike but they rarely ever actually bite. They're just drama-queens.

My headcanon is they dismissed that as being too easy/obvious for 26, but they would totally have done it for 27 and restored & to its former place after Z 😂

[@chainilotus1117]

The fact that the dates show this footage is a month and a half behind means we will have hatching videos lasting till almost Christmas this year 😆

[@silencehollow4545]

So many snake eggs this year!! This is my favorite time of year because of all the babies!

[@ettinakitten5047]

11:16 Actually, no, no insects with more than six legs. Ed is probably thinking of arthropods that aren't insects but are commonly mislabeled as insects. There are a lot of arthropods that people commonly call insects but they actually aren't, such as spiders, isopods, etc. But true insects always have six legs. They vary in wing count from 0-4 wings, though.

[@kaleiaramirez7050]

I just wanna say thank you to Ed and Emily for taking time out of there day to show us there amazing snakes and other animals ❤🐍🦎

[@elainewood5887]

Wow! Way to go Waffle! 26 eggs is a lot and all fertile looking. So many egg videos this year, can't wait for baby season but there are still a few momma snakes that I want to lay that we haven't seen yet. So hope there are a few more egg vids still!

[@JsFawn101]

There’s a lot of eggs this year and I love them all! :) ( I’m a huge fan)

[@justree222]

Another theory that MAY be worth experimenting: maybe mama slither knows when her slither eggs are tainted & separates them from the rest of her baby slithers. Maybe take the ones that are separated from the rest of the clutch and give their eggs distinct markings or just keep them unmistakably separated… idk lol.. just a thought 💭

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

Hi Snake Discovery, I have a question about your last clutch video with Mitosis. In the clutch video, you said you paired Mitosis up with Bruh, but in the Breeding Plans video, you paired her up with Dropkick Murphy. I was wondering if there was a mixup or if Dropkick Murphy didn’t lock up so Bruh had to be pulled in? Would love to know the answer!

[@katearchibald8976]

I think it’s awesome that you guys have interns. I’m currently studying to be an engineer so we’re kinda required to have them but it’s a great opportunity to learn so much and get involved in the field of work you want to do!

If you're taking name suggestions; perhaps Ladybird and Firefly, since their first clutch was insect themed.

You should name the male bull snake "Greybeard" for his grey cheeks. It's a very geeky name anyway since there's a Greybeard in the Lord of the Rings, one in Game of Thrones, there's a class called "The Greybeards" in Skyrim, and many other geeky references from various sources. 😁

[@essiev6397]

I yelled it, my son came to ask what was up😂

[@melissasyard1212]

I love the fact that you did an insect theme, I appreciate it so much! I think you guys should give them each bug related names! Mom could be "Queen Bee" since she has yellow and brown/black coloring and dad could be "Scorpion King" since he's got the red and blackish coloring! Just my suggestion, but they should definitely get insect themed names :) The offspring could all get bug names too! I am way too excited for this clutch 🐝🦂🦋🐛🪰🦟🕷🦗🐞🪲🐜🪳🐌

Since this is an educational channel... the definition of "insect" includes having exactly 6 legs. (Catepillars sometimes pretend to have more than 6, but the rest are actually non-functioning fakes.) Crawly invertebrates with more than 6 functioning legs - spiders, millipedes, etc. - fall under categories other than insect. ;P

That was an amazing clutch! We go from lots of eggs-no slugs, to a few eggs-many slugs. You can never tell what you’re going to get. Does age of the female impact the number of fertile eggs?
