Oh, that poor baby. It's so sad... they was a fighter until the end. It's unfortunate how they had such a huge kink. The fused body is just adding salt to the wound. Rest in peace, Milksnake number 4.
I know this was filmed before recent events, but I hope Ed recovers quickly and isn't in pain from his appendectomy! Loved the adorable babies, shame about that one but thank you for being so upfront and honest that breeding doesn't always go perfectly and for humanely helping that little guy pass! ❣️
Oh no, I didn’t know Ed had to have an appendectomy! I had one back in 2022, appendicitis is so painful, but luckily the recovery process from the surgery isn’t too terribly bad.
I love how Chicken Wing realizes one of Emily’s fingers isn’t food, but she has to sample every other finger *just* in case one of them *is* actually food
4 years of watching snake discovery, and i just realized that Emily is giving c-sections to the eggs in case the baby snakes cant get out on their own!
Two things I really admire about Snake Discovery are that a) you're open, honest, and educational about what to do when things go wrong, such as here when a baby snake was just not compatible with life; and b) when something goes wrong, you always look into why it happened and report your findings, including any mistakes you may have made and how you're going to improve practices going forward. The personal and scientific integrity that shows is a big part of why I keep coming back to this channel. I'm sad for the poor kinked/fused baby, but take comfort in knowing that it went as peacefully and painlessly as was possible given the situation. Thank you, Emily and Ed, for always striving to make the best possible decisions for your animals' quality of life and death, and for helping others know how to do the same.
I managed to get a baby Eastern Milksnake off a glue trap at work and brought it to the vet at our local wildlife center to get checked out before releasing it. He said they eat invertebrates until they get big enough for rodents.
I think they want them eating rodent parts so that they don’t have to switch them from slugs to rodents as the snakes get bigger. In those situations there’s going to be some snakes that insist on not wanting to eat rodents and it’s a big pain training them that this is their food now. It’s probably easier to start with rodents so that the smell is similar at all stages of their lives and they’re more likely to continue eating well for their next owners.
@@Annie_Annie__Well, yes, of course. It makes perfect sense to feed rodent parts in this case but they asked what they would be eating in the wild. I’m just repeating what the vet told me. 🤷♀️
I always appreciate that you guys don’t hide the sad and more “unpleasant” aspects of breeding. Breeding is amazing and fascinating, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows so I’m glad you don’t try to pretend that it is
i appreciate that you took such quick action to minimize the pain of the fused one instead of letting it harm itself, and that you stopped to figure out what went wrong incubating and how to improve it. that shows real care for both the snakes and proper education anout them.
It's so shocking how the baby with mold on it had such a mild kink to it, very able to survive and thrive and yet the egg that was perfectly fine (and one could argue the healthiest being separated from the moldy egg) had a deformity so extremely terrifying and sad. Imagine your belly and legs being fused but you're still somehow able to rip yourself open in your attempt to survive, that's so scary... Also yay!!! Im early!!!
With that huge fusion kink, makes me wonder if originally there were twins in it, but one got absorbed into the other sibling thus produced the fusion kink 🤔
Thank you for sharing the real ups and downs of snake breeding, and being so forthright about how animals that won’t survive are still cared for with dignity and grace. It’s a tough world out there for a noodle with a head. Feel better soon, Ed! ❤
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Reminds me of the baby Milksnakes from last year, the ones that escaped in the incubator. They were all biting and chewing - so determined, even though they couldn't even fit a pinky finger in their mouth 😆.
Just wanted to say I SO appreciate the honesty and transparency that you two put into these videos. It can be so tempting to shelter people from the realities of life and death, but it doesn’t help anything not to prepare ourselves for those situations as best we can and to deal with them in the kindest way possible to the animal. Sometimes euthanasia is a kindness, and it’s our responsibility as keepers to save the animal from suffering further when it’s plainly obvious they physically cannot survive. The more we can face reality, the better we can prepare to reduce harm as much as possible. Emily remained curious about the science behind why that snake developed the way it did, and that allowed her to learn and grow and become a better keeper.
18:47- I appreciate this ending bit, telling us what you found out. That was my first thought, if they're 5 days early, they cooked too fast! Really appreciate that you guys follow up on experiments, especially with that being the first time breeding that species, and learn from mistakes, which inevitably happen as we go thru life. Mistakes are gonna happen, all we can do is choose what we learn from them.
I'm just glad that you guys are still ethical and educate people about the proper way to end the pain for some little ones ❤😢 I also hope Ed gets a great recovery and healing process
it is upsetting that a couple of the babies didn't thrive, but i thank you for your transparency, and i commend you for doing what was right for these babies
Brown has always been my favorite color, I'll never complain about a beautiful "boring" brown snake! (My own snake is also a very good eater, and has attempted a couple of times to eat hands. One of my friends has affectionately said "He has one brain cell, and it's in the mouse he's digesting.")
"That'll make them really smelly, and hopefully tasty sounding to them." Never knew you could hear smells, maybe this was Emily's superpower before getting her nose fixed 🤣
I hope Ed is feeling better! Appendectomies aren’t fun, but the recovery is a lot better now than it used to be (assuming it was laparoscopic). I hope you’re okay, too, Emily! Being the support-person in these situations can be incredibly stressful. Try to take some time for yourselves to rest and recover this week, y’all. 💜
Sometimes nature is unkind. You do your best for all the animals in your care. Part of which is accepting when it's time to let go, and doing so with as much care as possible. Which you do. Along with learning and growing to be the best you can be, and you are doing a wonderful job. May the lil guy be curled up in a nice den in snake heaven.
Oh my gosh guys, I needed your positive energy right this moment, and boom, here you are with a new video! I was just about to go diving through the channel archives, but a new baby season video is even better! Thank you, and best wishes - especially to Ed - to the whole SD family
i love these egg hatching videos! you’re the reason i’ve shown so much interest in snakes AND the reason they’re one of my favourite animals! im always looking forward to more :D
Thank you for being open and honest about the ups and downs about the hatching process. I always appreciate your clarity and professionalism with the more difficult sides of snake breeding.
I’ve had my eastern milk for around 3-4 years now, and she’s been an excellent pet for me. Beautiful coloration, excellent appetite (she’s tried to eat me several times, just like your’s) and wonderful demeanor. Eastern milks are incredibly underrated snakes, I really hope to see them in the pet trade more.
Find it interesting from a biology/nature studies POV that it was the two eggs that needed to be cut where the babies had major kinks/passed away in the egg. Shame that you had to learn the hard way if it was the incubation temps being to high, but you know what they say, every day is a school day. Fingers crossed for next year🤞
I know this is a nice coincidence, but this being uploaded while I’m going through a really tough time and also just after a medical procedure, is so nice ♡ Yay babies!! I love baby season so much.
I want to say thank you for including the things that go wrong, both randomly and admitting when you may have made a mistake that contributed! So many people come to you for information, and your dedication to telling the good *and* the bad is why. Sometimes in these sad moments I have to pause and come back when I'm prepared, but I'm glad you don't hide them.
That was so sad. Thank you for not letting that poor baby hurt himself. Glad some of the babies still made it. Fingers crossed for better luck next year. ❤
You know it’s gonna be a good day when snake discoveries post!!!! Why do we need an appendix when it just ruptures?! I was in the hospital a little bit ago and I thought it was my appendix but it was not!
I absolutely love how transparent Emily is. Many breeders wouldn’t admit that they made a mistake with incubating the babies at an abnormal temperature for this species, but snake discovery is totally transparent about their breeding practices. Good or bad. This is an amazing learning experience about a species that not many people have had the chance to breed. We as humans learn by others mistakes. This is an amazing learning experience thanks to Snake discovery’s transparency. Thank you Emily for always allowing your audience to learn along side you during your breeding experiences ❤. While researching Dekays brown snakes, your channel was the first that I came across that actually showed the tiny babies eating. My daughter and I purchased a dekays through a not so great breeder and she ended up giving birth (now I assume she was wild caught), and because if you, those little dekays had their best chance at life!
Thank you for showing the realities of breeding. It’s a good reminder that, despite our best efforts, things can go wrong and we must be prepared to deal with it.
For your first year breeding this species, 2 out of 5 healthy babies is pretty impressive. As you said, always more to learn and keep in mind for next breeding season. I hope our little kinky baby is able to thrive and go to a good home!
Happy to see the first hatching video this season! Oof on the kink/survival odds tho :( Thank you for being open and honest with your breeding. Maybe in nature, eastern milksnake mommas go deeper into caves for cooler incubation temps?
love seeing you guys's uploads, been watching your channel for a while now and you always cheer my day up! i've been having a rough day as im struggling socially and also got fired. so seeing this in my notifs really cheered me up. thank you for being so amazing and keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing even the unpleasant parts. I had wondered about humane euthanasia of the deformed babies, but was kinda afraid to ask (or even Google it). I’m glad you have humane procedures for when it has to happen. This is a great, informative and entertaining channel! Hatching videos are my favorite.
So unfortunate about the two that didn't make it, but at least the other three hatched out relatively healthy and in good shape (aside from the minor kinks)! I'd bet the higher than normal temp they were incubated at is the culprit of the problems, so fingers crossed that the survivors thrive under your care and that next years clutch has better success.
I'm so sorry for the loss of the 2 babies. I hope the one with the kink does really well. I saw another comment, so I went and looked. I hope Ed is healing well and quickly!💙💙
Hi . You guys are practically the only channel I watch. I am excited to speak to you. I love science reptiles and animals. my name is Taya and I am 8. I used my Dad's account. my dad's name is Lee. He has lots of snake and lizards and tarantulas. I love watching your channel it's my favourite thing I watch and I think you are the best thing in the world. I have a turtle called shellington and I did have two stick bugs one called moody and the other one cutie but moody died today it made me so so so so sad 😭 I'm lucky to have one shed skin from her as a memory. I love reptiles 🐍🐊🦎 I enjoy watching your channel. Emily and Ed I love your egg hatching videos and the ones that you put in the incubator. Thank you for all your awesome videos. Love taya
The day this video was posted was my birthday and when i saw it this completed my birthday because of Emily's positivity. I have been watching snake discovery since 2017
Hello Emily, reminding you that today is Snake Day 🐍🥳, congratulations to all your scaly and cute friends, I am a fan of your program, congratulations 🥳🎉
Adorable! Milk Snakes are awesome. I recently found a Fox Snake in the wild that was maybe subadult and their pattern is similar, just with that Ratsnake head shape etc. I love any of the greyscale stuff! That said some Eastern Milksnakes are absolutely gorgeous, with more reds etc but yours should have more as they age than some eh? Congratulations on the awesome clutch!
I know this video was recorded before recent events, but I hope Ed is doing well. I love baby videos.❤ Thank you for being honest about the malformed baby.
Oh, that poor baby. It's so sad... they was a fighter until the end. It's unfortunate how they had such a huge kink. The fused body is just adding salt to the wound. Rest in peace, Milksnake number 4.
That is so sad
😭 😢
I just feel bad for him, he probably was uncomfortable and maybe in pain and yet still was alive, but now he's better, rest in peace lil guy
He's dead rn😢
It literally broke me
I was shocked, I never seen a snake fused to itself
I know this was filmed before recent events, but I hope Ed recovers quickly and isn't in pain from his appendectomy! Loved the adorable babies, shame about that one but thank you for being so upfront and honest that breeding doesn't always go perfectly and for humanely helping that little guy pass! ❣️
They call it “the miracle of birth” for a reason, it’s hard work getting born!
Oh no, I didn’t know Ed had to have an appendectomy! I had one back in 2022, appendicitis is so painful, but luckily the recovery process from the surgery isn’t too terribly bad.
As I pointed out like two or three videos ago, the day the clutch was due was pretty much the day the video came out.
Wait, how do you know about Ed’s thing? Or what happened to Ed I don’t know what it’s called.
@@izukumidoriya6201 it’s on their community tab
I love how Chicken Wing realizes one of Emily’s fingers isn’t food, but she has to sample every other finger *just* in case one of them *is* actually food
Better safe than sorry! Wouldn’t want to miss out on a delicious meal 😂
😂
Emily just casually talking while a snake tries to eat her, classic.
I wonder how Emily tastes...
4 years of watching snake discovery, and i just realized that Emily is giving c-sections to the eggs in case the baby snakes cant get out on their own!
So haven’t thought of that until I read it and then it’s like ‘duh’
… bro never realized that
That's one way of looking at it
Especially since she likes to make the cut C shaped
LMFAOOOOOO
Two things I really admire about Snake Discovery are that a) you're open, honest, and educational about what to do when things go wrong, such as here when a baby snake was just not compatible with life; and b) when something goes wrong, you always look into why it happened and report your findings, including any mistakes you may have made and how you're going to improve practices going forward.

I agree 100%. I *like* a lot of channels, but Snake Discovery is one that I also trust and respect.
Completely agree with you!
I love the respect they have for their animals. Though I wonder how many homes they can find for all the reptiles they breed
What do babies at this size eat?
@@ATLmodK They have waiting lists that seem to fill up pretty fast. So I don't think you have to worry about that.
I managed to get a baby Eastern Milksnake off a glue trap at work and brought it to the vet at our local wildlife center to get checked out before releasing it. He said they eat invertebrates until they get big enough for rodents.
Hopefully they see this, with them still being new to breeding them I'm sure they'd appreciate any tips! :D

It’s probably easier to start with rodents so that the smell is similar at all stages of their lives and they’re more likely to continue eating well for their next owners.
Makes sense! Not gonna find many pinky pieces in the wild, probably occupy the same niche as the other tiny sneks until a bit bigger!
@@Annie_Annie__Well, yes, of course. It makes perfect sense to feed rodent parts in this case but they asked what they would be eating in the wild. I’m just repeating what the vet told me. 🤷♀️
Glue traps are so cruel. I don't understand how they are still being sold.
I always appreciate that you guys don’t hide the sad and more “unpleasant” aspects of breeding. Breeding is amazing and fascinating, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows so I’m glad you don’t try to pretend that it is

So glad you added that epilogue at the end - everything makes sense now! Hatching five days early, 2/5 healthy snakes, and the kinks!
Well, the third one is healthy aswell and would probably be perfectly fine in the wild, and it's kink might have been caused by the mold on it's egg.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo yeah as sad as it is to lose some, 3/5 making it isn't bad for a first attempt I think.
It's so shocking how the baby with mold on it had such a mild kink to it, very able to survive and thrive and yet the egg that was perfectly fine (and one could argue the healthiest being separated from the moldy egg) had a deformity so extremely terrifying and sad. Imagine your belly and legs being fused but you're still somehow able to rip yourself open in your attempt to survive, that's so scary...
Also yay!!! Im early!!!
It could be that the group was able to kinda spread the heat amongst themselves but that one could not? Just a guess though.
@@Ya_boi_jasper I was thinking the same. But then one in the grouping also didn't make it. 🤷🏻♀️
@@cutecats532 true. I guess we’ll never really know. Curious as to what was seen when they dissected it.
With that huge fusion kink, makes me wonder if originally there were twins in it, but one got absorbed into the other sibling thus produced the fusion kink 🤔
@@speed_demon_031 nope that was it's belly being fused together
Thank you for sharing the real ups and downs of snake breeding, and being so forthright about how animals that won’t survive are still cared for with dignity and grace. It’s a tough world out there for a noodle with a head. Feel better soon, Ed! ❤

Sameeee 😂
Bro literally. I was sooo ready for the babies to hatch
Same
Same. I'm still trying to fully wake up but I'm like "baby snakes. Must see now." 😂😅
Who needs coffee when there's bebbies
I think that mum wins the award for best attempt at eating one of the Snake Discovery lot 😂.
That finger is so perfectly snake sized and shaped! 🤣
@@alteria2714 Indeed. Emily even said "Eat my finger instead." and that snake certainly choose to take up the offer 😂.
It was definitely the most ambitious attempt in a long time.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Reminds me of the baby Milksnakes from last year, the ones that escaped in the incubator. They were all biting and chewing - so determined, even though they couldn't even fit a pinky finger in their mouth 😆.
That would be a fun video... looking back at who has tried to eat them the most. I think Pricilla (sp?) might have the most attempts at ED

Baby season yay!! Also that momma milk snake trying to eat you😂 she was really going for it
I feel like these guys should be called the Chocolate Milksnakes, because of the brown colour :).
My excitement for Shark Week has been eclipsed by my extreme excitement for Snake Discovery baby season!!!
Get better soon Ed!!! Take it easy and don’t push yourself too far! Sending hugs!
Thank you for being open and honest about the ups and downs about the hatching process. I always appreciate your clarity and professionalism with the more difficult sides of snake breeding.
Timezones are complex, but i pray for Ed to have a smooth recovery, lots of support from the community.
Did I miss something? What does Ed need a recovery from?
@@mwalton9526he had an appendicitis and is currently recovering
@mwalton9526 his appendix burst, so he had to get it removed
Much respect for how y'all don't try to cover up your mistakes, and let us all share in your learning journey!
Aww! Love the baby hatching vids. They look so cute when they peek out. They’re such pretty babies too 🥰🎉🐍
I used to watch this channel ALL THE TIME and it actually the reason snake are still my favorite animals to this day!❤
More excited that you found out the reason as to what caused the early hatching and kinks. Hope all is going well with Ed and a speedy recovery ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve had my eastern milk for around 3-4 years now, and she’s been an excellent pet for me. Beautiful coloration, excellent appetite (she’s tried to eat me several times, just like your’s) and wonderful demeanor. Eastern milks are incredibly underrated snakes, I really hope to see them in the pet trade more.
Speedy recovery Ed... you're adorable! I ❤ watching Emily baby talk the snakes! Babies... Babies... Babies... I ❤ it!!

Shame that you had to learn the hard way if it was the incubation temps being to high, but you know what they say, every day is a school day. Fingers crossed for next year🤞
Woke up to babies, the last milk snake was so sad, but the restvof the babies were very pretty :3

Yay snake hatching season is starting!!!!!!! Nothing like waking up to hatching snake videos! Sorry that there were a few snakes with kinks.
Baby hatching time!! Also hope Ed is making a speedy recovery!
Even tho I don't own a snake and only know a small bit about snake morphs and stuff I love when you guys post the hatching videos as I find them cool
I love baby snakes or any snake in general! And that’s how I got mine! I named her Corn and she’s a normal ball python that I love lol-
I haven't watched this channel in a while, I love seeing baby snakes hatch 🖤🖤
Hopefully Ed feels better ❤
+ this is SO crazy with the baby and its just interesting to see something like that
I know this is a nice coincidence, but this being uploaded while I’m going through a really tough time and also just after a medical procedure, is so nice ♡
Yay babies!!
I love baby season so much.
Emily: they are very good eaters Chicken wing: let me show you “bites Emily’s finger”
today, I learned that chocolate is a separate food group.
for Emily, yes 😂
Awe, the poor kinked babies!!😢 Hope the temperature change helps that next year!
Get well soon, Ed. Love the babies and thanks for the wonderful, humane treatment you give to all your animals.
I want to say thank you for including the things that go wrong, both randomly and admitting when you may have made a mistake that contributed! So many people come to you for information, and your dedication to telling the good *and* the bad is why. Sometimes in these sad moments I have to pause and come back when I'm prepared, but I'm glad you don't hide them.

(Edit:Thanks for 32 likes!)
I hope Ed is fine and not hurt, thanks for still filming the vid soo we can all see what’s happening there😘💖
I don't have words I just want to hug Em and Ed. Hugs and love
That was so sad. Thank you for not letting that poor baby hurt himself. Glad some of the babies still made it. Fingers crossed for better luck next year. ❤

Chocolate is now a major food group. who would have known, not sugar/carbs, just chocolate.
Thank you for showing the realities of breeding. It’s a good reminder that, despite our best efforts, things can go wrong and we must be prepared to deal with it.
For your first year breeding this species, 2 out of 5 healthy babies is pretty impressive. As you said, always more to learn and keep in mind for next breeding season. I hope our little kinky baby is able to thrive and go to a good home!

Aw I feel bad for that fused baby, seeing him try and separate at least shows he’s a fighter. RIP
Just woke up, first thing I saw on my food was babies batching. Great day already
Thanks for sharing even the unpleasant parts. I had wondered about humane euthanasia of the deformed babies, but was kinda afraid to ask (or even Google it). I’m glad you have humane procedures for when it has to happen. This is a great, informative and entertaining channel! Hatching videos are my favorite.

He has lots of snake and lizards and tarantulas. I love watching your channel it's my favourite thing I watch and I think you are the best thing in the world. I have a turtle called shellington and I did have two stick bugs one called moody and the other one cutie but moody died today it made me so so so so sad 😭 I'm lucky to have one shed skin from her as a memory. I love reptiles 🐍🐊🦎 I enjoy watching your channel. Emily and Ed I love your egg hatching videos and the ones that you put in the incubator. Thank you for all your awesome videos. Love taya
The day this video was posted was my birthday and when i saw it this completed my birthday because of Emily's positivity. I have been watching snake discovery since 2017
I’ve been waiting 3 days for this!!❤ I kept checking to see if you had posted😂
Love how nonchalant Emily is to being bitten by a milk snake. Just “oh it’s biting me” I’m guessing it doesn’t hurt much.
Poor baby thank you for helping them pass peacefully
Hello Emily, reminding you that today is Snake Day 🐍🥳, congratulations to all your scaly and cute friends, I am a fan of your program, congratulations 🥳🎉
Adorable! Milk Snakes are awesome. I recently found a Fox Snake in the wild that was maybe subadult and their pattern is similar, just with that Ratsnake head shape etc. I love any of the greyscale stuff! That said some Eastern Milksnakes are absolutely gorgeous, with more reds etc but yours should have more as they age than some eh? Congratulations on the awesome clutch!
I love snake discovery I’ve been watching it for like two years
YES. BEFORE ONE HOUR MARK.
JUST FRICKIN' MADE IT!!!! LET'S GOOOO!
FINALLY BABY SEASON 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 hope Ed is doin ok, and am under an hour
I know this video was recorded before recent events, but I hope Ed is doing well. I love baby videos.❤ Thank you for being honest about the malformed baby.
