We make a Cast of our Alligator's Foot!

In today's video we make a cast of Rex's feet! Well, we try to... We sure ran into some difficulties... She just had to wiggle at the most inopportune time! But it turned out better than I thought it would, all things considered!

Story Time: At my school, we had an art teacher who was teaching how to cast molds for his students and one girl wanted to make a cast of her arm. Now this wasn't the animal safe stuff, this was the public school stuff and if you don't know, it heats up as it sets. So, while she was fine for the first part of it, she started screaming as it set and was unable to remove it without help from the teacher. In the end she had to go to the ER because of the burns on her arm and hand. And our teacher, was totally and completely fired.

Hey Snake Discovery, I've always been curious about this. My family has a cabin in Wisconsin and after a HUGE storm that brought down tree branches, I found two hognose that seemingly came from the trees. It was my first time seeing a hognose and they were scary and it was my first snake. Now because of your channel I know more about them and admire them. Do they tend to live in trees? What is their natural life like in the wild? Apologies if you've covered this before.
