[@erickarichardson1332]

"We don't have a lot of enrichment right now" Queue of 100s of Snake Discovery fans sending a bunch of fanmail with enrichment

[@Sealinkchin]

She really did tempt fate by saying that....

[@wels2342]

She should know better by now

[@Kiyeran]

but they won't open the mail for months and randomly open a ton of enrichment in the fall

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Uh oh, what did I do 😂

[@1everydayperson]

​@Kiyeran I think it's safe to send enrichment since we all know Ms.Emily will add more hognoses since she has an "addiction" to them lol

[@The-one-and-only-Fruitcake]

Emily: “I love all my snakes equally!” Hognoses:

[@ugh-abby313]

So true

[@Icanbenoone-zq9gl]

Those hognoses wanna be the favourite!

[@MilaMartinez-is9ts]

Hognoses: we are da derp rulers

[@AstridiaMoon-tc4qo]

I feel like the hogs know that 😭

[@khowler]

Glad the hognoses and other snakes are awake and no losses. I know that hits Emily so hard. I love how Emily knows so many of her snakes. I have seen breeders not give them names and though some are really random, at least you know they are loved. ❤❤❤

[@khowler]

Every snake should have a emotional support log!!!! ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@reiherptilelover]

I love how Butterscotch’s cobra face, she was like “you woke me up too early😠”, it’s so cute🩷 And so amazed by how fast the first lavender baby grew up in this couple years! He’s not a baby anymore, he’s gonna be a daddy this year!

[@13LavenderRose]

As a person who loves the idea of native species as pets (but not wild caught), I would LOVE the "boring brown" MN milk snakes!

[@grutarg2938]

My wife thought they were beautiful. She often prefers the wild type coloring.

[@jvseventeen]

Me too! They're gorgeous, "boring brown" or not.

[@savingchase]

I think they're gorgeous. I'm actually very fond of brown and its array of shades in general though haha.

[@SaoirseNaBeatha]

It's funny. Cause in Australia you don't have much choice but to get 'boring' ones. Not many people line breed, it's still a fairly new thing to do. I have a Coastal and I can't imagine him not being his natural self.

[@auroraourania7161]

Same! I'm in Wisconsin, but I think ours are not too much brighter (have sadly never seen one in the wild). The colors might be duller, but the pattern is absolutely beautiful!

[@angeltt4390]

7:37 That male (if keeping with the theme for CAT 3 and Dial Up) could be "You've Got Mail" after the notification you got when logging on to AOL dial up 🤣

[@SnakeDiscovery]

Love it! It's happening

[@lisabenden]

Hahahah! I love it! XD

[@AloneInTheGarden]

I was about to say Floppy disk 😂😂

[@MtnNerd]

If they get an unfriendly male, call him Elon because of Starlink

[@MegaBrainBoi]

​@@MtnNerd They already have a Musk turtle named Elon in their turtle tank in the zoo.

[@clownhartz]

12:36 the genuine sadness in Emily's "whaat no" was so cute lol >

[@rondahiller8541]

Loved the MBK that needed his emotional support log/decor

[@animemusicluver1]

Emily excited about waking up her snakes from hibernation is literally me talking to my hermit crabs and my cat 😂😂 So I completely understand the feeling

[@Rambogner]

You have crabs

[@caseythompson2058]

Since I gave birth 8 weeks ago I haven’t had time to watch these videos but definitely gonna catch up tonight providing I don’t fall asleep… 😂🥰

[@user-nk4li8uz8p]

congrats on your new addition!

[@haleyhamilton6884]

Congrats! The two month mark is perfect time to catch up on shows. Or it was for me anyways lol

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Congratulations ❤

[@trippinggauntlet4520]

Congratulations 💜

[@micromutt2187]

Congrats mama❤

[@arcaninetyfour2239]

The fact that you have so many breeders and still know most of them by name is very reassuring.

[@kellyharper367]

I never knew about brumation until I started following Snake Discovery. When I think of my dogs, cat, and fish sleeping for 3 months, I sure would miss them!

[@silversleeper1193]

I love how genuinely excited and in love with their snakes they are. With that many and them being a source of business, it would be easy to reduce the animals to simply “assets,” but there Emily is, immediately recognising 90% of their snakes despite looking basically identical to five others.

[@Haryah11]

When you do something you love...

[@hinrinn1788]

That is such a great thing to point out! I also love how much Ed and Emily love their snakes!

[@juliatarrel1674]

And how excited she is to say Good Morning to all of them. She's so fascinated and adoring of her snakes. It must hurt part of her heart to send each sold snake to their new human/s.

[@YashaVatrushka]

yes ! the fact that most of them have names is very telling !

[@TheMysticalSerpent]

@@YashaVatrushka And the ones without names are just because they havent thought of one for them yet

[@animemusicluver1]

Ed throwing merchandise at Emily and Gary's shenanigans will *NEVER* not be funny

[@kiarakeeper2154]

It's really awesome that you have the breeding facility now. It helps keep your collection protected so you can take in rescue animals and Quarantine away from your very valuable breeders.

[@ashlynalingh]

Sunny side up is my favorite! She’s so pretty all grown up!

[@Icanbenoone-zq9gl]

Its so true!

[@SagesChaos]

Its so funny that after that corn snake broke out to many times you were just like "FINE! You can just stay out" XD

[@juliettealexander8537]

I wonder if she didn't like her "brumates" 😂😂😂

[@RiseEngel]

In regards to "nobody wants eastern milk snakes": I totally want an eastern milk snake. Yeah, they might not be as striking as other milk snakes, but I still think they're pretty in their own right. Plus they're also native to my area, and that's a bonus in my book. (I've also heard that they're trying to mimic copperheads and similar vipers, but take that with a grain of salt.)

[@Lexcoaster]

I actually would prefer them, I like those earthy colorations more than the red/orange ones. 😊

[@user-vj6ml8nf2e]

“I haven’t been able to ✨Play✨ with them for three months!😭” I love how she adores her little babies like can we appreciate how relatable and wholesome that is☺

[@TheWildShotsPodcast]

Emily went full Gollum saying "My BABIESSS" in the intro😅

[@lizziefloyd4034]

I've been wanting an Eastern milk snake! I used to work with one at a wildlife rescue, and I thought his brown/grey color scheme was lovely. Glad you guys are breeding them.

[@kumika95]

On the record I’d rewatch their commercial just for the cute factor of the reptiles lol

[@jillianbetts4306]

I feel so privileged to have been here on the channel through your expansion! When I first came to this channel, you still had your snakes in the basement and spare room of your house. Now you have a zoo and a fully stocked warehouse/web store! Congratulations on all your progress! ♥️🐍

[@TangledMind1018]

Has anyone considered buying enrichment /from/ Snake Discovery and having it delivered TO them so they get both the stuff and the profit?

[@Gangmember289]

I absolutely love how far Emily&Ed has come❤ it’s wonderful seeing someone live their dream 💭

[@schoolaccountforschool]

Love seeing how you guys have grown! I remember when you were doing videos in your own home and now you have your own facility and zoo!

[@rosemarydove199]

Plus a warehouse and website!! They’ve grown so much! :D

[@elainewood5887]

Yay!!! The start of my favorite season on Snake Discovery - Breeding Season. First comes brumation, then comes the pairing, then the little eggies laid in their perlite carriage.

[@tunnelfrog872]

I've heard Fitness gram pacer test's name mentioned before and I always loved it XD an amazing callback for those of us who had to listen to that audio every year

[@chihiro3445]

Welcome back danger noodles

[@-MadisonGacha-of1xn]

I love reptiles bc of them and I can’t wait to see the new breeding season, I love seeing the different babies Omg her reaction to being able to do Hognose’s 😭 12:42

[@rialynn1113]

I love how enthusiastic Emily is, and I can’t wait to see the indigos

[@ChrissiesHauntedBones]

Like every good Mom, Emily remembers almost all her kids names right off the top of her head 😂 --- I remember all 18 of ours, but I couldn't imagine THAT many. Emily is a Reptile Super Mom ❤

[@eklectiktoni]

DSL, Ethernet, or Coaxial would be a good name for the unnamed indigo boy.

[@OhSoUnicornly]

I like Ethernet and then he can be Ether for short!

[@Lilith-Rose]

I think twincore would be good, and a subtle reference to male reptile anatomy

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Cable, Internet and I truly liked "You've Got Mail"❤

[@fenus609]

or Landline

[@annetheelf8174]

Pearl's so big now! She has such a unique pattern, like a Mexican hognose, it's so cool!

[@I_eatkidz]

Can't believe that time goes go fast! I remeber when Mitosis laid eggs before hibernation but now it's already over! Wow!!

[@jennifermunro4374]

The indigo without a name should be called Digital Multiplex, or "DMX" for short, the communication protocol for professional lights on TV and Film sets Since Indigo's are so pretty and brighten up the world!

[@Rarity36Rage]

I think Ed is proud of his work 2:35 He was just correcting which rack was built by whom 😄

[@freshsmilely]

Indigo Montoya is one of the best names ever. a perfectly great name to break the naming scheme. if you ever get another one for the zoo, you should keep the name going.

[@xaeverse]

i honestly wasn't paying attention for 2 seconds because i was mad at something not working, and i zone back into the video to emily saying "calm down olivia, you are fine" scared me.

[@viviana-0_0]

is your name olivia?😂

[@Snekeees]

Probably​@@viviana-0_0

[@shlumpadinkaa]

That lil commercial at the beginning was SO cute😆

[@GodisTruth914]

Yalls commercial is hilarious!!!!🤣🥰🤣

[@OhSoUnicornly]

For the male eastern indigo: Ether, short for Ethernet!

[@CalliopeKitten]

"Myy Babbies!" It sounds like "Myy Presiousss" lol Emily loves her pressiouses (I cant spell...)

[@Sophie-dd5xr]

Emotional support log 😅 love it! 😂

[@mpdaugherty8549]

The intro....her running. Hilarious 😂.

[@SaillandsDogPals]

Emily in the beggining is literally me anytime i see anything from snake discovery 😂

[@TheSeptemberRose]

Ed singing "Afternoon Delight" made me laugh out loud! I remember that dopey song from when I was a KID!😄

[@klenklan7585]

i could be wrong about the theme, but if i'm not, the third eastern indigo should be named Atari

[@BBoxCleaner]

11:51 How dare you, good sir and lady?! Those Minnesota milk snakes are gorgeous! Their background scales are practically silver colored! 😍

[@mrnate2468]

i just love seeing you two mess with each other. (Ed with the delaying of the hognoses in this case) ...you two are an adorable couple!!!

[@briannahooten8028]

The hogs are cute but bull snakes are my absolute favorite. I love there big personalities. Great video. Thanks for letting us be apart of waking up the sleepers. I’m so excited to see what you have planned for the breeding season.

[@heathersurprise3381]

I'm so excited for sunny side up babies!

[@BlackWolf_3223]

1:04 the way bro just airstriked that box LMAO

[@MamaMOB]

Props on that ad! Usually I just skip through them but that was hilarious!

[@slateportraichu5416]

Glad snakes are awake and alright! Have a nice week, Snake Discovery!

[@NatashaWinland]

See, not every woman needs a human to call their baby. Some need an animal just like Emily. They arent human children but they fill her heart with the same amount of joy.

[@billy_sklep]

I'm so excited for this breeding season ✨✨❤️‍🔥

[@redemption101caleb]

I love the black king snake. Those vibes are immaculate

[@GlaciesYin]

0:07 and this is why it's called Snake Discovery - they are Emily's babies indeed

[@user-pg5vb5pq9g]

Thumbs up if you love snake discovery!!! 🐍

[@George_41]

I’m glad that you didn’t say like the comment if you like snake discovery😊

[@youcancreatetoo6058]

The new angry sunburst hoggie girl could be Cranky Karen. You know she will not hesitate to call your manager!

[@-.S4turns_Pupp3ts.-]

It’s insane to realize how long I have been watching your channel I started watching in 2017 or 2018 That’s 6-7 years. Holy cow. I was so little! I think my all time favorite snake is nearly headless nick. He was so adorable. Honestly I cried for hours when I found out he passed away. Such an adorable soul

[@SabrinaReinert97]

I love how the normally sassy bullsnakes are always so calm when being woken up, but the normally calm hognoses are so mad about being woken from their nap 😂

[@flamingcouch-mp6de]

From what I've heard the lavender scaleless doesn't work like other scaleless combos. Lavender color is the scales while other genes the color is in the scales and skin. So lavender scaleless look like corns that are just scaleless

[@jvseventeen]

That's really interesting! Genetics are so weird sometimes with how things are separated or connected in ways you'd never imagine.

[@marianneconverse4824]

Been lurking, waiting for today’s video, and it’s wake up snakes day! Yay!!!

[@minervaporelle7114]

“Plus we have tons of snake discovery merch!” Ed “AuuGHhGH” Emily😂😂😂😂

[@InkRose101]

Today I went to my first reptile show and got to see a hognose for the first time! The lady at the booth guessed I watched your channel after my reaction to seeing their cute baby hogs and expressed my love for them! It was very special seeing those derpy cuties! As well, I got to pet a scaleless python and hold a few large species which was super special as my first time handling a snake in many years! Thank you snake discovery for feeding my snake fascination and helping my love for these beautiful creatures grow!

[@aprilflowers3421]

I think a good name for the male Eastern Indigo would be floppy disk.

[@THLCowgirlForLife]

I would really enjoy a photo shot episode of all the breeders. Like with either the black or white background and name tags. Plus you know at least half the video would end up as snake shenanigans. They would make fun reference images and informational pages when talking about breeding plans and egg hatching vids and genetics. It would be so fun to have little visual family trees for some of the snakes and/or genetic combinations. I have learned so much from Snake Discovery, and visuals are a very helpful learning tool.

[@janvar424]

So sweet, Bacon! I'm biased because I've experienced the joy of holding her! 💜💕

[@Pollenoverponds]

Omg! It’s FINALLY time for a sunny side up clutch! That’s so exciting!!

[@DeluluIsTheSolulu]

KZbin, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. TIME TO SEND 'EM SOME ENRICHMENT!!!!

[@animemusicluver1]

from at home, to zoo, to now a facility! can't wait to see its completion

[@winkywrocks]

I’m not super into snakes, but I love seeing people sharing their passion. Your passion and enthusiasm are what keep me coming back to your videos. I feel like I learn more than I ever thought I’d want/need to know about snakes from your videos. I’m invested now.

[@katiekane5247]

Ball Python will change how you feel about snakes. Super slow and non bitey

[@1everydayperson]

Wish i could have a snake but after watching how my husband reacted when i had to catch a very young gray rat snake that got into the house ive come to the conclusion hes very phobic about them. I was 99% sure it wasnt venomous but he was all nope so i had to do it. Hes lucky i love him!

[@domiantics]

This is so perfectly timed I was just thinking it was time to end brumation lol 😂

[@TheCouncil-zg4vp]

I vote "Lan" for the unnamed Indigo snake

[@domoniche1]

LAN, WAN, MAN, PAN, CAN...VLAN. take your pick

[@nathanielmorales8874]

How Emily says "My babies!" Made me fall off my bed😂

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

I’m so happy all the snakes made it out of brumation with no losses this year! Can’t wait to see the pairing plans soon!

[@hayleywright6585]

Idea for this years egg and baby snake videos please: when you put the baby video up, can you put a link in the description back to the egg video? I like to be able to refresh my memory of the eggs, or follow a snake’s breeding journey that year!

[@Thedragonworkshop]

Yes! I missed them so much!!!!!! I love all your snakes Edit: I’ve always wanted a snake but I can’t have one since I’m younger but I know everything to do!! 😢😢

[@scadoodle3487]

I used to work with eastern milk snakes and do education with the public about the importance of our native snakes. I've wanted to own an eastern milk ever since! I am so excited you will be trying to breed them!

[@linsey1729]

I love the videos of showing off all the snakes and their names. I'm one of those who doesn't have reptiles and enjoys them through your videos!

[@hayleylynn8466]

You never fail to make us laugh

[@rosiep8703]

Honestly, the Milk snakes are my favorite in this video. They are the same as what we have in NY. We see them often and are always fascinated by how the patterns can look so different, even when they are all the same basic colors.

[@imke5710]

I love the way emily runs in the video at the start ❤😂

[@Icanbenoone-zq9gl]

Same I replayed that like seven times😂

[@iluvbaileyspinn]

they way he threw the stuff and she fell over🤣🤣

[@juelz713]

Spicy Balls, Congratulations Snake Discovery🎉🎉

[@damienvaughn5608]

I’m so excited about this video because that means breeding plans are coming up which means ALL THE HOGS THAT WEREN’T BIG ENOUGH IN 2023 WILL FINALLY HAVE THEIR YEAR AND IM ECSTATIC

[@jeremys553]

It's the Bulls, they are my favorite. I'm so thankful to this channel for introducing the species to me.

[@GreenSkye42]

"Fine just live in the fridge" She should be named Fridge not Pixie xD

[@LieveHooijer]

😂😂“JERRY”🤣🤣

[@thehostetlerteam9693]

I love how Emily is so excited about the snakes waking up.❤❤❤❤

[@sharonk5074]

I love how the new camera sometimes picks up the lavender colour

[@Ketaminewyvdot]

I’m loving fitness gram pacer test for sure !!! Can’t wait for the pairing video 🎉

[@user-jh7lc1ww9b]

I look forward to this every year

[@Bibibiceratops]

Emily's Labrador puppy at a party energy about waking up the snakes is my fav

[@MaMa_HQ]

truthfully, i prefer the brown milk snakes over the red/orange ones. i think they are beautiful with those brown and grey tones.

[@ugh-abby313]

Yayy!!! I missed them!!!

[@Queen_of_chaos]

Yay!! Snakes out ❤
