Updates to our Zoo after 1 Year!

[@jengibs]

Yall say it was a weird video, but I love these behind the scenes vids that show how much love and care you two put into the business you built.

[@redfailhawk]

right?? I'd love to see more of this sort of thing. It feels so relaxing, and it's cool to see all the work that goes into maintenance.

[@Macachee]

Who said that? Edit: Oh SD said that. 😂

That day that Emily described of them meeting in the pet shop was the Luckiest day of their life

[@crazy-Raccoons]

Team Ed!

[@thegreatandloveableperidot3268]

It’s crazy that it’s been a year. Feels like I’m still watching the renovation

[@auroraborealis9763]

Same

[@Snowpawstherian]

Yeah same

[@OPLeeAnimationsIsStinky]

Yeah, same for most people

[@I_like_eating_souls]

Yea same.

[@UnnecessaryWords303]

Yeah, it feels like yesterday I watched my first video by snake Discovery, instead it was like 3 or 4 years ago

[@cynthiaandvern]

Your customers will appreciate that you update and keep the zoo in good repair. It's really a turn off to go somewhere that animals are housed and find that things that have been in disrepair for some time haven't been taken care of. A place that looks kept up indicates to me that the animals are also in good health- anyone who watches your videos will know what an excellent job you do! Looking good!

[@Sloth743]

For sure

[@Sloth743]

I bet she appreciates that

[@loonybinreject]

I would love a video of snakes, lizards and amphibians doing their thing and Ed doing the voices of the creatures going about their lives (like when he gives them voice saying 'don't poke meh'). That would be amazing. 🐍

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

Now that is a cute idea!!!

[@theraven210]

I would love to see that video.

[@edensgraces]

i would pay to see that

[@kinleyhayes3146]

Yessss❤

[@Lozzo1390]

I would totally watch that ❤ great idea.

[@pipelinepunches]

It's so crazy to see how much Ed has become comfortable being in videos over the years!

[@GweenOfTea]

I always think back when to he’d get kinda flustered when he was accidentally put on camera by Emily 😂 he’s had such a glow up and I love seeing him much more involved in the newer videos, it really wouldn’t be the same without him

[@Trombone_vibz]

Same here ! Its defiantly been a slow, but great transfer!

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

People have been leaving this comment on every snake discovery video for at least like 3 years now haha

[@cocoworld9100]

I messed up the perfect 300 likes it's now 301 likes

[@teijaflink2226]

It's so great to see the love for animals and the dream that they both share together and that Ed's as much as Emily into and involved with the reptile zoo and the hard work he puts into it, perfect couple.

[@isabelnecessary5915]

The leeks in the ceiling shot is perhaps my favourite ever snake discovery shot of all time, very much appreciated it!

[@a.l.snyder9740]

Ive always wanted to be a vet but i was always scared of the animals dying but watching your videos of the animals gave me the understanding that its just part of life! I love watching your vids and it just encourages me more and more to become a vet! Thank you so much!!!

[@lunarvisz]

just do it

[@dolphinsoup]

yeah it's a very stressful job, i wish you luck

[@a.l.snyder9740]

​@@dolphinsoup thank you!

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

Being part of the veterinary community is an honour. To help give life and aid in their final moments. To give them dignity and be their voice. It's the best job in the world. ❤

[@bbh6212]

@A.L.snyder same.

[@Corvus408]

Those desks are not "atrocious" they're well used and well loved! A desk that is NEVER used, is spotless

[@tayloralexis282]

Omg I love Sharon and Rafiki just doing their thing no matter who is around or what time it is 🤣 shows how comfortable everyone is with zoo life 🫶

[@ukyochan]

Can’t wait to see the babies coming from that pairing!

[@keturahmagee6413]

So when did they get rafiki?

[@kaitlyn689]

“The glory…ious hole.” 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t with these two

[@spacelizard6059]

4:28 "a couple of LEAKS in the ceiling!" *camera pans to literal leeks shoved in the ceiling* comedic genius I'm dying

[@redfailhawk]

Ed explaining things is awesome. We always say this, Ed, but your fans appreciate how much you've come to embrace the spotlight. it's so nice to see your passion and enthusiasm. You remind me of my brother, who is definitely into the making and revising part of computer and electronics systems. (You two even look somewhat alike!)

[@xinwang8685]

I REMEMBER WHEN YOU GUYS MOVED REX OUT FROM THE POOL! I went back and rewatched a turtle video from a couple years ago and I was like OMG CHLOE'S SO TINY! Congrats and thank you for all your hard work!

[@melskunk]

I can't believe it's just been a year! It feels like the zoo has been around so much longer!❤

[@roymitchell8426]

[@Psychobathtub]

The leak pun at 4:28 has no business being that good 😂 great to see how far the zoo has come!

[@SunflowerCat1]

I know Iit was hilarious how they just acted like it was normal

[@ilppa6890]

I know, just the absolute best!

[@horsetuna]

I had to go back and watch again because I wasnt paying attention and only caught a glimpse of green. Then I burst out cacling. Excellent.

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

I have rats as pets, and I think it's really nice how much you care about ventilation for them even though they're being bred as food! Even though they may live a short life before taking their place in the circle of life, i'm glad they dont have to suffer through respiratory infections!

[@_mortiam]

lol, baby spice in the beginning like "Oh you installed a pretty, sturdy ledge? Well NOW I'm going to use the branches" 🤣

[@onewomanarmy6451]

Love how elegantly Baby Spice is draped across the branches. So freaking cute!

[@ashleemaziarz200]

something for the animal funds box! y’all are the reason i own snakes today💗🐍🐍

[@reginlightvalkirye7414]

I know this may sound weird but for all the nine months I was waiting for my daughter to be in this world I was (I still am and I'll always will) watching your videos! She is now 9 months old and when She hear your voices she smiles and clap her little hands! You're amazing guys!!

[@Popebug]

Sounds like you've got a little future herpetologist.

[@reginlightvalkirye7414]

I guess so 🥰

[@kerseykrewzoo]

Since I haven't been able to come see the Zoo in person, videos like these are very interesting for me as they give me a little more indepth look at the goings-on and some behind the scenes access as well. Baby Spice is a gorgeous reticulated python and she's definitely figured out how to best use it. Hopefully one day I'll be able to come visit in person and enjoy seeing the animals up close. Thank you Ed, Emily and Editor for filming and editing this video for us! 🤘🏻❤️‍🔥

[@itsliiiv3257]

I, too, love a good Japanese maple leaf. 😂 Happy one year!!! I can’t wait to come to the zoo one day. Hopefully this year! 🤞🏻 Edit: I would love it if y’all made a more adult second channel lol. Your grown up jokes kill me every time. “Glorious” hole. 🤣🤣

[@owlivdejong5086]

A few years ago they were interviewed on Port City Pythons pod cast and they were drinking and enjoying adult conversation. I'd love more of that.

[@dirtywhitellama]

That would be fun!

[@jvseventeen]

That would be great!! I was hoping someone else had commented about the Japanese Maple leaves lol as soon as he started talking about a "plant tent" I was like... yea that's for people who grow .. maples where they're not supposed to😂

[@victorianicholls3991]

@@jvseventeen Ohh, I didn't realize what the joke about Japanese Maples was but now I see lol

[@michaelajordan3306]

I actually like these BTS videos, it shows how hard you guys work and what responsible owners you are! Love seeing all those huge gorgeous enclosures for all the rescue babies ❤❤❤

[@torimakesmusic]

This video has me remembering the early days when ed hated being on camera. You guys compliment each other so well I am a long time fan I love your channel so much. Hope to see your place in person some day

[@acegulliver5414]

LOL The leeks in the ceiling!! 🤣 Never ceases to amaze me at how much maintenance it takes to keep a business (and zoo!) running smoothly. Glad to see you and the critters are all still doing well! Edit: spelling.

[@patchmumfilibuster7202]

Not weird at all. It is always interesting to see the maintenance side of zoos. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@guerrerofamily3163]

Thanks!

[@endrenawhite]

I was actually re-watching some videos from when you opened the zoo... It still feels insane that it's been open for a full year!

[@dldarby82]

Data point of one: I really enjoy these VLOG style videos, especially the ones involving the zoo. It's kind of like a "behind the scenes" and makes me appreciate all the work you guys put into creating an amazing place to see reptiles.

[@Guardian_Of_Animalia]

I’ve always wanted to be a Vet and the Snake Discovery Channel has only fostered more and more love of animals and has helped me to learn more about them! Thank you so much!

[@truckerchick90]

Love these update and building work videos. It's wonderful to see all the great work you all do outside of just seeing the animals. The variations of the videos is fun to watch (and rewatch), thank you for letting us into your world.

[@sophiewilson-ou5kn]

Good job! You work so hard on your zoo, you also work so hard for your animals.

[@sammansfield21]

You 2 are one of the few examples of life partners and work partners that work. Your journey with before the zoo, building the zoo and whatever happens in the future is and will be inspirational ❤

[@MrEpaulets]

😮

[@SoRaTheSaiyan]

AC Infinity fans are top-notch. Very reliable and great for removing aroma from my "Japanese Maple Leaf" tents. 😊

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Japanese Maples sure are becoming a popular house plant recently... :P

[@Remi_da_rat]

A what

[@LPSDevon26]

I don’t think those are Japanese maple leaves 😐

[@SirKiwi13]

I'm so proud of you both. Its great to see people my age living out their dream. Does the heart good

[@TheDictionaryDuck]

I really love how far the facility has come and I'm excited to see what the future may bring.

[@8Sockhead8]

It might be a "weird video" but I love that we're still getting zoo updates cuz watching your journey with creating the facility has always been so fun and fascinating to see. Plus zoo maintenance shenanigans are always great 😂

[@elgordobully]

Love your marriage, the amount of strain these builds cause but you guys always know when to joke around ❤

[@ashtonjones5768]

It was fun to see what is needed to keep the zoo running smoothly.

[@DARCCCCI]

You guys should be so proud of yourselves! I started watching Snake Discovery sometime in late 2018. I think the first video I saw was Emily in the field explaining why you shouldn't release goldfish in the wild. I'd watch because Emily reminded me of Steve Erwin with her knowledge and enthusiasm. It's been so cool to see you all expand. You guys are so cool! Thank you!

[@adventureswithJacqui]

It always impresses me how you guys do all of the work. Yes, it makes a great vlog, but you work so hard and deserve all of your success.

[@jeannettefrye5086]

Happy first zoo anniversary!!🐍🐍💖🐍🐍 first of many, many more😊. You both are awesome!!😻

[@0o577]

Baby spice is soooo beautiful I love her pattern It looks like she’s covered in hearts

[@ninjamonkey2321]

We just got back to Kentucky from tinley!!! It was awesome. My daughter's name is Violet, and she has religiously watched your videos for about 5 years now. She is 10 years old and loves you so much. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for you being so kind to her. She was star-struck and super nervous to meet you to such a point that she could barely talk. You made tinley an unforgettable experience with just a few words. We ended up buying a pastel mystic ball python, and it's beyond beautiful. That makes 4 reptiles she owns and takes very, very good care of each of them. I truley can't say thank you enough. There are so many people in this world that wouldn't care or would dismiss her, but you did not. I was so worried she might get her feeling hurt just because some people just dont care. She is a heavy talker but the moment she saw you she got awkwardly nervous and it was so cut. My daughter and son are my entire world, and I'm so happy she got the chance to meet you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! You are a kind, educated, loving, and all-around great person in real life. I couldn't be prouder that my sweet little girl looks up to a person like you. Keep doing exactly what you have been. You're affecting the world in more ways than you'll ever know, and with luck, she'll turn become as kind-hearted as you are. She will never forget that moment.

[@CricketsMa]

Good job on taking on the big chores! Big sense of satisfaction for you. Glad we got to tag along. Thanks!

[@tmalaklaryka]

One year already?! It's just amazing what you guys achieved so far and we are all so proud of you!!! Thank you for all the fun and educational videos you upload, I'm sending you big hugs and regards form Buenos Aires!!! Pd: And i can't believe I'm just 18 minutes late 😂✨❤️😻

[@Tactical-treasures]

It’s funny how time flies because I’ve be following you channel for so long we when you guys made the zoo that felt like yesterday now it’s one year plus

[@WeebyChild.]

Happy one year! Y'all have helped me not be as scared of snakes.🎉

[@redemption101caleb]

The love you guys put into the zoo and the animals is why you deserve so much success. I never would have developed so much love for reptiles without you two. Thank you, truly.

[@LeiFaye]

Just wanna say hi from Germany, been watching for many years. I have absolutely loved watching your journey, keep chasing your dreams guys!! 🐍🐸🐢🐊🦎

[@baddkatt9223]

Running a business is tough. Love, love that you update the reptile enclosers for the betterment of the reptile. Better water bowls, ledge for Small Spice-she does love it, fan for rodent room. Yes, these videos show people to always work with your reptiles, to provide them with their best & healthiest life.

[@heatherholland1051]

Ed: Don't mind my messy desk right now." Me: sitting on bed in room watching you guys, taking a break from cleaning😅. Any who, its hard to believe its been a year already since the zoo opened. I hope there are many more years to come😊

[@jurneejay7447]

I always found the upkeep and maintenance super interesting! Thanks for sharing a deeper look into maintaining the zoo!

[@PuffPastry-ke3cm]

I just love how many of the zoo animals are rescues

[@GarmrKiDar]

I am constantly amazed by how you two are just so competent at so many different things, AND how energetic and determined you are!

[@marianneconverse4824]

I personally love zoo/facility update videos. Coming to visit from California would be a major undertaking, so these make me feel like I'm there all the time. Which I would be if I lived closer.

[@idiotically-everything]

Yeah. I live on the other side of the atlantic ocean so if I ever happen to be in the area for any reason I will make sure to visit

[@birchbarks550]

I'm currently learning to become a seamstress and at work we're currently doing needle felting which takes forever and you basically just sit around so I binged through all of your building update videos, absolutely lovely entertainment I'm also felting two milk snakes so it felt even more fitting :)

[@Diandra2011]

I so wish I could afford to take a trip out to visit your zoo! It's beautiful! 😍

[@vettebette1]

[@northernmostsnapps]

I am one those weird people that enjoys the Behind the Scenes more than the movie/series. So, this is my cup of tea.

[@rinshepard9310]

A year? Wow I thought the zoo had been around for two years already. Time really flies. I love what you guys have done! You help so many animals and educate so many people! You’re one of the reasons I fell in love with reptiles. I really enjoy watching your egg hatching and rehabilitating animals videos.

[@valeriepark9444]

It's been a little over a year and a half since the zoo portion itself opened, but yeah it's been two years since the retail area had its soft opening

[@Khunai.]

Thanks for all the wonderful videos, and the amazing care you give your creatures! It always amazes me to see these gigantic enclosures! I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. You guys rock!

[@That_One_Girl_Daisy]

It is crazy that I've been watching snake discovery 🐍 for over a year

[@JoshuaWilley]

I like these videos. It shows how well you upkeep your place and how much you care for your establishment. Great job as always! I like the maintenance videos just as much as the rescue videos, keep them coming.

[@claragreenfield6317]

I laughed way too hard about the 'leeks' in the ceiling 😂 good one. Always up for a bad pun or two 😆

[@brittanylevinson741]

One of my favorite videos. You already have so many educational videos but as a fellow business owner it’s nice to really get to see someone else put care into what they love.

[@pigeonofthenorth]

You guys have come so far in a year congratulations

[@rat_dragon]

I've been watching Snake Discovery for many years. I recently showed the channel to my family. We all enjoy the content and how excited y'all get over "the little things."

[@icecreamwolf9175]

:0 happy 1 year! Y'all are my inspiration for my love and research in snakes! I love you both!

[@annagering8430]

I really love seeing the behind the scenes videos and the improvements you make over time.

[@saga2964]

Good to see her using her new ledge! Nothing's more disappointing than getting a new something for your scale baby and it STILL prefers to just sit in the corner.

[@charliechellino4042]

Thank you Snake Discovery for all you do in the videos and also for your animals! 😊😊

[@mizzshortie907]

I have loved to watch you guys evolve from breeding in your house to completely starting and successfully running your own zoo and reptile shop! Amazing work

[@patsabol8699]

It was such a a fun video. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!

[@TheARGblue]

Wow it has been a year! I hope one day to make it up there to see the Zoo in person.

[@neolithiumproduction]

Awe. I'm really glad Baby Spice is loving that new ledge.

[@rebeccagiesbrecht7632]

Never apologize for weird videos. We love them!!!! Also Emily please don’t make replacing ceiling tiles look so easy. It’s soo freaking hard and frustrating! Lol 😂

[@toriGutierrez-gd6om]

Emily: “WE CAN PLAY MUSIC TO THE RATS!!” Ed: “this girl is crazy .”

[@andygaff1385]

This kinda insight in the videos is brilliant, shows people it’s not all roses and fairy tails and that the road never ends!

[@cosmicowl2845]

So crazy that it's already been a year!

[@jaykneegarner2479]

For future ledge projects you might want to look into the bags of foam for setting posts. It should make your life so much easier! Just pop the divider and give it a good shake! Cut the bag and pour! It’s basically the same stuff in the can just without the waste.

[@zoeprior9896]

As amazing as I find your channel for information and how far the whole facility has come I doubt I’ll ever get the chance to visit as I’m in the uk. However, during this video I have realised I need an Ed! Loves animals ✅ is handy ✅ and loves ‘nerdy’ stuff 😂 Emily, do you think you could spare him? 😂

[@aesha382]

I can’t believe you guys do all the handy work!👍🏼Great job!😊

[@amandagardiner6065]

After Brian's cancer diagnosis I feel the need to binge watch videos from reptile keepers.

[@feuilletoniste]

Happy Zoo-versary! It’s always a delight to see you two in handy mode, rolling up your sleeves to get stuff done. You never fail to impress with your can-do attitudes!

[@benedwardson307]

Emily you have to try British chocolate it is so much better than American chocolate (in my opinion American chocolate is the worst tbh)

[@IISheireenII]

That is because American chocolate has the same stuff added in that makes vomit taste like vomit. Hershey started it (to extent shelf life or something) and other brands followed. Pretty much ANY chocolate is beter than American. British is considered very average, American is just very bad.

[@Xiporah]

I really like this! The building series may be complete, but I find the maintenance aspect interesting as well!

[@aft0000]

wow baby spice is HUGE 🤯im very curious what does a snake that big eats🤣

[@midnightsan9917]

Rabbits probably, If I remember they know a person who breeds rabbits.

[@kbg6070]

You guys are so incredibly handy! No way I could do what you did in this video I’m so impressed! All looks great too!

[@skippershikrapski6583]

Emily, would you please do an update on your rodent breeding? Any more cute colors? How is “hey you peed on me”? More soft furs? How is the parenting progressing?

[@lisetta5052]

Ed is such a cutie. I just love his cute slightly mischievous smile. I’m glad we get to see him more these days. And of course Emily is amazing too. You guys make such a great team 🤗

[@Irlydntcare]

I have loved the facility updates! I am so so happy we get another one!

[@NightwingKyra]

I remember when 4 years ago it was just snakes in your house!! I’ve been watching forever and am so happy that your zoo is so beautiful! I’ve wanted to go forever but sadly don’t live close enough to drive!!

[@lobstaluvr]

I think it's great that you do most of your repairs and building projects.

[@MorenaNama]

Oh wooooow ONE YEAR ALREADY?! 😮 really enjoyed the video ♡

[@kelleyhawk6595]

Really enjoyed seeing exactly how and what it takes to do behind the scenes!

[@gangewifre]

I really love seeing these behind the scenes maintenance videos -- it isn't glamorous but it's so cool to see the care you guys put into the zoo.

[@reiherptilelover]

I’ve learned a bunch of things from these videos, and actually I used those techniques for my parents’ house! Thank you Ed and Emily!! Btw, I looove Justin so much! He’s such a good boy, and he’s so handsome💙

[@_Fizel_]

Ha. The short vs tall person at the end is so funny. I'm short and I've been asked to get some things off low shelves for older folks and I can get under stocking shelves easier. Most of us are happy to help XD

[@moonhunter6743]

I love these behind the scenes videos. We get to see some of the realities of owning an animal-centered business. Plus it's pretty neat to see how a lot of thechanges are made 😊
