I wanted to tell you, my son has wanted a snake for so long. I have been terrified of them( unable to even touch them) until watching both of you hearing you say how cute they are and watching you interact with them. I have told my son he can have a snake now. I can see how beautiful they are. Thank you for sharing your love of them with us. I love watching your show, and share it with others. You both are incredible!

Ok my guess with the coffee thing is that you all went to a coffee factory. And you will now be selling in the shop your own brand of Snake Discovery coffee. Which would be super cool. Also, for animals in this video I have to say the American tree frog was my favorite. So so so cute. You all are such a great inspiration. I definitely would bring Kim, Hailey, or Abby with you all to your next show. So while you all are busy buying things or meeting fans. They can run the booth for you.

I agree, but remember, they also need employees to run the store and zoo and take care of the animals while they are gone.

Mangrove Snake names: Kintsugi and Wabi-Sabi Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, and the snakes look like they have cracks of gold running along them. Wabi-Sabi is one of the philosophies that kintsugi is very similar to which is an embracing of flaws and imperfections. (Such as a cracked piece of pottery put back together)

Lol! You’ve been fooled! They don’t really recycle those and I sure hope they don’t reuse them… Plastic CAN be recycled, but it isn’t. So you’re just using more fuels to transport trash back and forth. Single use is an atrocity but it’s called single use for a reason… I reuse water bottles a few times, Gatorade bottles are better but it’s still just loads of trash.

16:20 I am currently living in Arizona and had to have a special service called Seal Out Scorpions come to seal all the cracks in our house in order to keep Arizona bark scorpions from crawling on the ceiling above my bed at night (You do not want to get stung by one of those while you are asleep). What a surreal feeling to consider someone might buy one as a pet. I hope they go to a good homes, though. They can't climb smooth plastic and glass. However, if it does escape and you need to catch it, bark scorpions cannot see clear glass, so use a large drink glass to put over it. Then slide a sheet of paper or paper towel under the glass to trap it. Then slide something stiff like cardboard under the paper to be able to carry it elsewhere. However, be careful to not get its tail or pincers caught by the edge of the glass. They are fragile. When in doubt, use something even larger, like a glass mixing bowl.

[@hrhawesome4282]

I remember that at my primary school there was centipedes like that except more red rather than black and they lived all under the logs. All through primary school I loved bugs so I made my parents look up what it was and when I saw that it was dangerous I took it apon myself to find the logs that had them living underneath and patrol the area to make sure kids didn’t pick up the logs 😅😂I live in Australia though so that wasn’t the only thing I had to make sure the other kids didn’t touch 😅🥲.

I'm sooooo glad that you have tokay geckos. I have a cbb female and not suprisingly she's a sassy girl but I love her do much. We had tryst built up but she needed two rounds of medicine due to parasites and she's not happy that I had to catch her multiple times so we're starting over there 💙

[@inarifox8912]

I think you should name the male mangrove Jabberwacky. The poem from Lewis Carroll was the first thing I thought of when you were talking about them.

[@SevCaswell]

I was thinking Soy Sauce would be a good name for one of them too...

[@erikaswanson7072]

The Jabberwocky! I love that poem! Great name idea! And maybe Carroll for the girl then... lol

[@kmackblack]

I love that name!!! Never would have came up with it on my own but I really love it.

[@Dandylion567]

@@erikaswanson7072 Or Alice if we want to keep the character names. :)

[@sludgeskin]

For the Boiga Mangrove snakes name them Thomas O Malley and Duchess after the Aristocats!! cuz Cat Snakes !!! also thank you for talking to us about boigas, we have a captive bred one named Toadsworth :)

[@Dakotert]

Bob knew what he was doing with that logo😭😭

[@jaimebucholz1541]

LOVE tarantula cribs! Definitely recommend!!

[@dracolich6359]

For the snake names! Tiamat(F) and Bahamut(M)! Those are the dragon gods in Dungeons and Dragons

[@amberstarling5896]

We love our Keurig. We use San Francisco Bay Coffee. Their pods are like a filter and are made from plant based compostable materials. I'm so excited you have Tokays. They are beautiful!

[@katbairwell]

I love how generous with their channel time Emily and Ed are, they are so excited to share awesome breeders with their audience, and their audience with awesome breeders! If I were in the US, I'd definitely have added a couple more Morph Market follows!

[@bobbiscrittercave2348]

I love the fact that you were more concerned about getting bit by the tokay than the mangrove snake!🤣 Mangroves are beautiful, I'd love to get one someday.💜💚

[@lynnp9472]

OMG BOB !!! He totally deserves this moment. His work is beautiful.

[@DragonFae16]

You guys need to bring people in the future to staff your tables while you go around buying things. After all, if you need to be in two places at once just bring twice as many people can you can cover both places! And my name suggestions for the mangrove snakes might not be hugely creative, but I think they would be funny. I suggest you name one Mani and the other Groovy, because when they're said together they kind of sound like Mangrove.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

I had no idea there were so many Bearded dragon variations til I went to a reptile show. Blue, green, leatherback, red and orange and on and on lol. Even white! Very cool stuff.

[@andrewhallock2548]

Thank you, Ed and Emily, for providing such great content for those of us interested in reptiles and inverts!

[@renae91]

aww! tokays!!! those are my favorite. they are so full of attitude.

[@potathoe1170]

For the Mangrove snakes their black sheen reminded me a lot of the comic book Character Venom (Plus they're slightly venomous!). Venom's vessel is Eddie Brock so maybe the male could be Brock and the female Edie (female version of Eddie).

[@oliviacarter5865]

Cool idea 😎

[@sayantiju]

Mangrove snake name suggestion: the biggest mangrove forests are in Sundarbans in India and Bangladesh. So sundar (pronounced Soon-door) means beautiful and Ban (pronounced Bone) means forest and also means sister... So male can be named Sundar and the female can be Bonnie? So together they are Sundarban-ie? Oh man I really hope Emily or Ed sees this

[@EvaZimney]

I love expo videos! I can never travel to attend these, but these videos let me experience it in a different way. Thank you so much!!

[@redravenriot3650]

Mango and Groovy the mangrove snakes!

[@Kiddly3000]

I hope you all had a good time here in St Louis

[@Jaybiiird]

mangrove snakes are so hecking AWESOME!! Im HYYYYYYYYYYYYYPED to see yall breed them!

[@Orcanaria21]

I got to see a huge wild tarantula at QT the other day. She was amazing and everyone that saw her pretty much went "WHOA that's cool!" and took pictures with their phones. It was cool to see that people didn't say "kill it with fire". I personally haven't seen a wild one since I went camping as a kid and I'm 27 now, so that made my week. Seeing the tarantulas you picked up reminded me of that.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

the little caramel fat tail is SO CUTE!!! She has such a pretty little face. I think her name should be Caramel. The mangrove snakes sure are cool looking! They looked blue to me to the light... maybe names like Azure and Lapis? And you're totally doing a coffee collab aren't you?

[@mei4069]

I love those names and thought of them as well :D

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

@@mei4069 thanks! Glad I’m not alone. I personally think gemstone names & obscure color names make great reptile names.

[@mei4069]

@@Chaotic_Pixie same lol! I have so many names stored in my brain I don't even remember half of em anymore lol

[@rachelm6734]

Caramel for a caramel fat tailed gecko? No offense but that's pretty uncreative.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

@@rachelm6734 well, when you have to qualify your statement, you know what you’re saying is offensive so I’m going to tell you something your parents clearly failed to teach you, “don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”… modern interpretation, KEEP SCROLLING. It may not be fanciful and wildly imaginative but it’s freaking cute and it suits her, I think, and that’s all that matters because it’s my suggestion for Emily and Ed to take or leave. Go be a troll elsewhere.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

What an amazing bunch of animals! I can't wait to come see the new ones in the zoo! Also, I had to pause the video to go look up fish scaled geckos and now I need to get one, they're SO COOL!!

[@Claire3claire3]

A name idea for one of the mangrove snakes: -Lightning because they have the yellow colors which sort of look like lightning! Also the other one could be McQueen for a cars reference

[@jadabennett7095]

Gardians of the Galaxy vol.2 is one of my favorite movies!!

[@koreabooeauty]

Bumble would be really cute for one of the mangrove snakes! Since they’re black and yellow like a bee

[@teamobi3327]

And Mango... Mango the mangrove... I made myself laugh.

[@teamobi3327]

I was apparently not very original. XD I'll read more comments next time.

[@annabelleioffe]

I think Rocco would be good name for male mangrove and Sonali for the female mangrove. They are so pretty!!! Love them!🐍😍

[@Leeka315]

FATTAILS! I have missed them on the channel simply because I saw them the first time here and fell in love and now I have one of my own

[@hadla]

I always feel sorry for all the animals stuck in the small deli cups for hours 😥 I know it’s the only way to display many at a time with limited space but still 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love bearded dragons! They always tilt their heads to look at you and always so calm! Also love the fat tailed geckos 💕 it was at a show where I held a tarantula just to get over my fear of spiders and their feet feel so weird!

[@4raccons0122]

... You are so much braver than me

[@willowheart6590]

I'm pretty sure they're fine- But at least, usually, it's only for a short while while they make it to their new home.

[@MrChomcky]

I use the reusable cups for my Keurig and the other waste I have is the used grounds. It’s really nice to make a fresh cup in a minute or two.

[@cadaverousghoul8008]

I'd love to see you interview more tarantula breeders! The Tarantula hobby is growing so it would be great to have more tarantula related content. Also I think Bonnie and Clyde would be good names for the mangroves
