Emily's casual, "Oh hi!" when Brayden walked in on her being eaten by a lizard was funnier than it should have been. Meanwhile him trying to catch cricket escapees while Ed continued to pry the lizard off with scissors, and a third person filmed it all was a pretty good summary of what it's probably like to run a zoo lol.

Yes more!!! You need a sign that says “X days since escape” on the naughty board. Maybe you should make a video showing how secure the venomous snake enclosures are so that people aren’t worried about them escaping. I’m sure it’s perfect and inescapable but I could see how future zoo patrons may want to see that they have an extra secure enclosure. Just a thought.

[@free2beme273]

[@theperson8049]

[@krissie2025]

They did show off how they’re even more secure in the Justin timber snake video :3 they screwed on the light screen, triple foamed anything that looked even a little loose, has a 5inch glass overlap to prevent people from sticking fingers in, as well as double locks that only Ed and Emily have access too :3. Chloe just loves escaping and is super sweet (she doesn’t snap really according to some of Emily’s past videos). Notice how Emily’s hand placement on her. If Chloe snapped easily, Emily would not be holding her there but as far from Chloe’s head as possible. This video was just so much fun to watch!

Here's a weird idea in the meantime while you guys look at the possibility of an upgrade. You clearly don't intend on moving those pallets anytime soon. I know you had (and hopefully still have) some decent quality scrap wood in the greenhouse. Might be time to make some impromptu kick boards and block those pallets off, use screws instead of staples if you want to remove the kickboards and use a pallet jack again later

Love this! It’s honestly refreshing to see that not everything goes “perfectly”, and that even you have escapees. I have always beat myself up after my Mexican Black Kingsnake got out and I never saw her again.

[@hannahhenderson1113]

Yeah. I believe the same thing happened to them with a milk snake Candy Cane. So it happens to even the best, no need to beat yourself up over it

[@halethylols3951]

@@hannahhenderson1113 I didn't know Candy Cane escaped. Aw. That's sad. She was so pretty.

[@hannahhenderson1113]

@Call to arms Well thats not the attitude we like to have around here

[@halethylols3951]

@Call to arms I'm pretty sure they are 100x more careful with the dangerous ones. Neither Ed nor Emily are stupid or careless.

[@Specters0rd]

@Call to arms You don't know the facility and their knowledge of handling them like they do so I don't think you can make the calls here. Especially since these videos and most videos are just highlights. Not the whole entire day of what's going on.

[@sydneylovesjanelle19]

Hi Emily, Ed and SD crew! Would you guys ever be able to do a video on "weird, but benign" reptile behaviours?? If I ever saw my snake trying to mate with itself, I would immediately assume there is something neurologically wrong, and run to the vet. Maybe not a "weird, but benign" vid (as every behaviour relies on context and the animal itself), but possibly a video on some odd behaviours you have seen from your reptiles. Can be either common "odd" behaviours or random ones specific to an individual reptile. I think it would be helpful as A) these actions could be documenting patterns/ behaviours we have yet to learn about in certain species. and B) as a new reptile owner I am constantly overly worried about my pets health and wellbeing and maybe a behaviour new owners may interpret as odd or worrisome could be something that is most likely a harmless quirk! Maybe you could just add them into these vids!

[@lemolea9571]

I don't think trying to mate with itself is indicative of a neurological issue (plus, if it was, Emily probably would have said) I think it's just because snakes are pretty stupid. My snake once latched onto a pair of tweezer tongs for 2 hours trying to eat them lol

[@sophiehobley828]

@@lemolea9571 that's what they're saying - they would've initially panicked over that behaviour however clearly its not a big deal and are there any other things that might seem concerning that actually reptiles do commonly. The hognose twitch is one I can think of, although if you're getting as far as putting two hognoses together and don't know about the twitch then maybe you shouldn't be putting the two hognoses together. But there must be a fair few examples

[@jessical4866]

The hognose going in figure eights was so satisfying to watch... even after you revealed the real reason. 😂 But seriously if someone loop gif-ed that, I'd watch it forever!

[@SysterYster]

lol, very funny. :D But the lizard-bite looked very painful. D: Both lizards and turtles/tortoises tend to bite and hold on, while snakes more often strike and let go. I'm totally with you there.

[@niamhduffy2012]

Exactly what I needed to perk up my week, thanks guys 😂😂💕💕

[@XPrisca150]

Love the new series: the snakeanigans. Just seeing some background chaos is always fun. You should also make a map of all of chloe's hiding spots, just for funsies!

[@rosatopia5256]

and have a counter for how many times shes been found in the same spot 😂

[@G1itchin.0ut]

@@rosatopia5256 yes that’d be great

[@mckenziepyatt8203]

I loved this! The part that actually get me laughing out loud was when Emily said, " Oh your a jerk." 😂

That bite was crazy bro

Props to Emily for educating us while being bitten by an Ackie

[@angelicMonster]

definitely continue this series, i love seeing the behind the scenes of the zoo, and all the mayhem the reptiles cause also hope that monitor bite is okay emily, that looked painful, you're amazing at keeping your cool

[@Anonymous-jz7xz]

The tri-color guy trying to mate w himself gets me every time lol

[@jellyjilli1004]

7:28 so glad to see this is an universal experience for anyone who interacts with animals regularly.

[@reptiqueen7275]

I can't tell you how many times I have had to pull non food objects out of the mouths of my reptiles

[@grenwood6551]

i cant tell you how many times i have had the "that is not food" conversation with animals and children

[@gman7585]

what about Lunar?

[@doctorwho5012]

I love this! more casual content, it's always fun to see animals being animals!! also gives us an idea of your daily zoo life

[@seanathanbeanathan]

The intro reminds me of when I used to do squats with my 18lb cat 😂

[@nicoleduckery4067]

COOL name

[@elyses6605]

I can’t wait to see more! I love all the shenanigans the reptiles got up to! Also I lost it just a little when Emily said “Jerk” I’m a long time subscriber and have never seen Emily say anything toward the animals, it was quite funny. And a quick Thank you to Ed, Emily and the staff at Snake Discovery for the lovely videos, clips and content for us to enjoy 😊

[@joninewby8375]

My 9-year-old daughter loves these videos and has learned so much. A friend's son was going to college and needed a home for his ball python....thanks to your videos...she is taking amazing care of him (with help).

[@ninalazo9056]

Please keep posting these videos! This is so fun y

[@lesnyk255]

I really enjoyed this. Long before it was illegal to do so, my dad used to rescue wood turtles from the road and bring them home. We'd keep them for a few weeks on an enclosed porch before releasing them. They all had distinct personalities & food preferences - one ate nothing but strawberries, another loved bananas. One liked raw hamburger, one liked blueberries. We hosted one who took to climbing up the screen walls of the porch. They all acclimated to being handled, letting their legs & tail tangle when picked up - they almost seemed to enjoy the view. My dad's long gone now, but I still rescue them from the road when I see them, delivering them to whichever side they seem to be aiming for.

[@SarahStilesPhotos]

Love this new series! For biting reptiles, I have always used Listerine mouthwash. It doesn't hurt the animals, but they will let go pretty quick! I use the yellow one. It T's always been very successful for me.

[@lmj2k]

They did recommend either Listerine or vodka for their snake bite video. Emily said they prefer to use vodka because vodka involves fewer chemicals. They tried the vodka on the ackie and it didn’t work.

[@racingadvisor9077]

Emily’s love for these animals is so infectious! She comes across as a really fun person. I bet Snake Discovery is an amazing place to visit.

[@3lys-forlife2014]

I love the begining when a employe walked onto screen and started training like it was nothing🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@user-li3nq3kx9y]

Hoping Chloe will get a bigger enclosure. The facility looks amazing.

[@Byvenic]

Her enclosure seems to be the entire facility at this point.

[@terrorbats5361]

I love this series and it's just started. I know you have so many baby garters that you don't do videos for them much, but this series would also be great for tiny garter updates. silliness always seems to ensue when baby garters are involved.

[@operachicken869]

LOVE THESE!! This is so entertaining but also informational! Everything doesn't always go so smooth and you use these moments as an opportunity to teach us! Thanks and keep these coming!
