[@UCVWnuJnz0LguhAS_MYI3few]

i've never even heard of the procedure in reptiles. like, it makes sense (especially when a snake is especially important to a family or expensive) but it's gotta be a pricey microchip insertion. cats and dogs are easy because they have such stretchy skin but for snakes? wild.

[@tyneblackburn553]

@@UCVWnuJnz0LguhAS_MYI3few It actually wasn't that hard to do. Cost the same as having a cat or small dog microchipped. Just had a reptile vet do it. They pushed in between her scales and inserted it. She wasn't happy, but she shed about a week later and it stopped bothering her by the next day. The tail was the only part that didn't come off in one piece during that shed, but the spot was all healed up. After her next shed you could barely even find it.

@Paige Loren I'm not sure if the genes are recessive or not myself. I've learned a lot from Snake Discovery but I'm certainly not an expert. It seems like most morphs are recessive, so I'm just kinda assuming so given that they said Onyxia has a combination of two different morphs going on.

A red bellied /black snake at a local BBQ, would get people scurrying in all directions in Australia. However! They are stunningly marked with black shining scales , black eyes, usually a red belly, however some are found with pale pink or white bellies.. They can grow over a couple of metres and can get quite thick around the middle. Like us all, depending on the food supply...They like frogs and mice and are fairly placid. However they are venomous and look very intimidating when flared up .. Not for handling as a novice..

I'm so happy I found your channel a couple weeks ago!! I'm not afraid of snakes but if I encountered one suddenly in the tall grass, mostly garter snakes, it will startle me and I will run away. I could never have a snake, so I'm sorta living vicariously through you and Ed! :) I've enjoyed going back and watching all your videos and learning more and more about snakes-- I even started painting small portraits of snakes and its been so fun! I hope to have a whole rainbow of snake portraits even if their colors don't entirely exist in the wild. :)

[@Kitchencookinspoon]

Am I the only one binge watching all of their videos so they can get extra money so they can make the building even more awesome😂

[@AbigailSmith1334]

I have watched all the Snake Discovery videos at least 7 times. You are not the only one.

[@cassandramuller7337]

I'm still hoping that you'll look into doing Moonstone (lavender/ super arctic) hognoses down the line. Cause that's a super duper stunning morph.

those tiny red bellied snakes make me so nostalgic... I used to see them all the time in our yard in the upper peninsula of Michigan! I loved how they were different colors... tan, brown grey, and blackish. so cute!!

[@vivavivaaa]

omg i didn’t even realize it was breeding season again. quarantine has felt so long but somehow time went by so fast

Well..its happened..I have fallen in love with a snake. Onyxia is absolutely gorgeous and as a former WoW player I love the name.

Red bellies are my favorite snake! I'm from Northwest Iowa and growing up I found tons of these snakes in my area! Not every year, but when I did see some it was usually a couple every year. One year my dad found a large one, and she was a gravid female and we found out they were live bearers! I would love to keep some captive bred Northern Red Bellies, they are such a prominent snake of my life and bring me such joy as such sweet little snakes.

[@mackenziew]

So Doug was my favorite snake but now Onyxia is giving him a run for his money. Boas are just so cute

Perfect Name! She does look descended from the Great Black Dragon of Warcraft fame for sure. Speaks volumes of what great owners she had to be so well cared for and to take the time to make sure she went somewhere where she’ll be loved and appreciated, not just cared for. Just found your channel from Wickens Wicked Reptiles. So glad I came by!

[@valeriaabsinthe]

There better be an Onyxia feeding video after she's done quarantine, that would be glorious haha But man, those owners loved the heck out of her by getting her microchipped and such. Shame they weren't able to keep her, but at least now people can oggle at her beauty and such

[@forrestfey]

I did not know snakes get chipped in the tail, since cats and dogs get chipped in the neck.

[@Dovietail]

OMG love redbellies! Thank you for focusing on some of the smaller, more cryptic native species. I wish you would carry even more natives in your collection so people would recognise and not fear them. 💚💚💚💚💚

Curious, as an Aussie our red bellied are venomous, are yours venomous or non venomous? TIA

@@kaitlynlyon1698 I believe their ones are non venomous. I was going to ask the same question as an Aussie, but by the way Emily handled them they seem harmless

Snake Discovery : giving heart attacks to their Australian viewers since 2015. Today's edition: "these are some red bellies" Literally every Aussie in the audience will have had an instictive "NO!!!!" reaction, before realising that your idea of a red belly is a very, very different, non-bite-y, non-deadly snake, not of the red bellied black snake variety.

[@inkwhiskers9948]

You're so right haha. And then they mention housing them with their "brown snakes" 😅
