Please don't let the Mandy cinematic universe end when the entirety of the facility is opened. It's been such a long journey, and we're all so invested in these characters after all these seasons.
You are so right. If ever I needed warm hearts and fun company during Covid I always knew where to go. Fantastic people with a great future ahead of them God willing.
Emily really isn’t kidding when she says price labels are the enemy. But the pro of working in a pet shop over anywhere else is being able to play with them on breaks and at the end of the day! Good luck with the shop, guys!
I work at a vape shop and we have menus instead of price tags and that is a pain in the butt. I don't miss dealing with tags when I worked for Owen's (Kroger owned).
Yeah, I work at a grocery store and back when we had paper labels I would have an 8 hour night shift taking down all the old tags and putting up all the new tags for the weekly flyer, and the day shifts would have a good hour or two replacing labels. We transitioned to electronic labels in 2019, and honestly it's pretty neat (we have a program that tells us which tags are low battery or unresponsive). It's definitely lessened the work load but with a store as big as ours there's constantly tags getting damaged from old lady's carts, and they do fall off sometimes. Looked under 4/5 aisled today and found over 30 electronic tags. I could see the electronic tags working well for a smaller merchandise area like Snake Discovery tho.
Should make a sign near randy that says something along the lines of take a selfie with randy and use a certain hashtag so you can see all the different people who have gone to the store/zoo over time
emily has been thanking everyone this entire video, and for everyone here i would like to formally thank emily, ed and all their friends and family for working so hard to get the facility open and running! congrats everyone and none of your hard work will go unnoticed or disliked
Just gonna be honest here... she was talking over my 36 year old head. I could follow along, but I'd have to refer back to old Snake Discovery videos to know what she meant.
So proud of you I work at a giant pet store retailer and it is such a nice change of pace to see a retail store with ethically bred animals, experienced staff, appropriately sized enclosures and no bs cheap food sold
Yes, I have a feeling that the future will break back down from massive overarching mega conglomerates that own everything to very small mom and pop shops again, at least I hope so.
@@rdizzy1 that's the dream. But it would have to start with our generation and future generations stop buying from the large chain stores and start supporting stores and brands that have good ethics and animal wellfare.
@@CrowCoded well I mean that will be a cycle, but mom and pop stores eventually turn into giant chains if they get to a certain point. Even Walmart and Petco started as a local business
Currently watching this video on my lunch break for a major pet store chain (as the animal care manager) and I'm seriously so envious. I would love to work at a place like their store 😭
🥺🥺🥺 the way Emily speaks to children warms my heart. She's so good with them. 13:35 made my heart melt. She's so kind and gentle. Ed and Emily both are such amazing, kind, generous people & they deserve all the success in the world at the zoo/store! Congrats you guys! I'll be making a trip to the zoo from Indiana when yall open!
It’s so refreshing to see a pet store that actually loves and cares for their animals! I went into a pet store recently and saw 2 dead animals , and many sick ones, it’s awful! Congrats on the opening!
@@silvaousnevermore7437 ugh it takes a LOT for a pet store to get investigated and even more for any fines or punishments to happen. At least in my state anywhere. It breaks my hard and makes me so angry. It’s even worse with reptiles. Organizations like the SPCA might come and take away mammals but they often don’t do birds or herps. And forget fish. Animal welfare laws in the US usually cover all vertebrates except fish 😓
@@marztheburntoutemo4919 in the US they will take surrendered reptiles i think but they dont go out of their way to seize them like they do with mammals im pretty sure. Mainly because there are just so many cats, dogs, horses, and livestock that is neglected and they focus on that.
Imagine a partnership between emerald scales and snake discovery. He could pass on rehabilitated reptiles to be sold their as a secondary shop spot while opening up space for the overflow
I won’t lie, as someone who has worked almost exclusively pet retail... I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard watching Ed struggle to catch the air
On the tags that tell you basic information about the animal I think it would be cool to have QR code’s that will send you to a care video from snake discovery for that specific animal
It's cool to see so many girls into reptiles. I remember being teased mercilessly as a kid/teen for keeping a garter snake and green iguana. At our towns local store the manager refused to sell me things because "girls don't know anything about reptiles" broke my heart. So glad times have changed.
I remember being bullied for liking spiders when I was a kid, so one day for show and tell I brought my friend's tarantula and explained why spiders are so cool, the others kids stopped bullying me but not because they respected me but because they feared me ^^' they were afraid I would let loose tarantulas in the middle school
That's basically sexist predgudgice. Some girl including me are into reptiles and know all about them. I'm really surprised I didn't get these kinds of things in my personal life yet
I love how some of the adopters have given an update. It's so awsom because you always wonder. Like how are quasimodo the snapper turtle and mad no eyed moody. And are there animals that are surrendered that they will adopt themselves for snake discovery breeding programs. The curiosity and the possibilities.
I think she said in a video, q and a maybe that the majority of their audience was between 18-30 so you're all good, their videos are great for everyone I reckon
When my boyfriend and I move back to Minnesota. We are going to make the trip to buy from you. We are planing on getting a bearded dragon or hog nose snake 💕 I can’t wait to see this place in person!!! Congratulations on opening!
No words can describe my utter respect for you guys. I'm in Scotland, I don't own a reptile, I doubt I ever will however I ABSOLUTELY LOVE learning about reptiles, about how to build a business, about what you mean to such a young generation! Keep up the great work and I hope one day I will be able to visit the facility and meet you :)
Another in Scotland who also won't get any reptiles but love this channel haha. I wouldn't mind some but my boyfriend won't even allow my cat who has to stay with my parents, so I'll never get a reptile haha
The little girl Emily that named her corn snake named Dot made me cry like a baby. My dog I’ve had forever ok 12 years died on 9/11 2019 her name was Dot. It made me feel that Dot is living on. Thanks Emily
I'm really sorry about your dog, my bf of 5 years had to put his 14 year old dog a while ago and I cried like a baby and he wasn't even my dog may Dot be enjoying treats and pets in heaven
Congratulations Emily and Ed! This is so amazing. My two daughters love watching your videos with me (especially Rex) and now you have your own store! Yay! 😊 I sincerely wish you success and happiness in your new adventure.
My partner was rushed to hospital today. The young doctor looked like 'Snake Emily' apparently! Its the only time she could ever be doped up on pain meds call someone a snake and I don't give her a scolding lol! Congratulations guys! I hope you're as proud of yourselves as I am :D
I have no idea how y’all stay so calm and cheerful during this incredibly stressful process, but I love seeing you work so harmoniously and enthusiastically together! Wishing you all the best for this new phase of your adventure. 💚
You two should add hidden qr codes In the building! They could lead to unlisted videos, and hidden content for visitors of the zoo! Secret hidden jems and videos for zoo-goers to discover and talk about!
Kind of asking allot for people who just took on so many new responsibilities. Ps don't get my wrong it's a really fun idea and I don't mean to sound like a Debbie downer I just imagine they have their hands over flowing at the moment hah
@@modest1989 Fair point. I thought it sounded like a cool idea, and it doesn't need to be implemented right away. In the end, it's up to them and what they want to do with the place. It's already looking awesome, and I'm sure itll be perfect without it!
@@alexisd8190 no no it would be unfair to the people who could visit if something fun was excluded from them on behalf of someone who can't take part regardless of anything. Come on now you sound 8 "I can't do it so no one gets to!" Try to be better than that. That's like saying don't have a patreon with added perks because I can't pay to be a member.
@@modest1989 I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen because yes it would be fun to the people that could go and it would be a cool addition so if they decided to do it obviously we couldn’t complain. I was just saying it would seem a little unfair as there’s so many of us that are unable to visit (same as so many are unable to be a member) so no I’m not being like an 8 yr old because if it happens then it happens and that’s that.
You should have a "feed an animal" program.. you can do it in both the retail and actual zoo. It's a way to get people excited about the animal while also bringing in money for food costs. 💜 of course they don't get over fed.. just on days they actually need to be fed you can give that option.
thats a really fun idea! They should do it with rex. A lot of places in FL will let you feel alligators little chopped up hot dogs on these plastic "fishing rods" (basically a stick with a string that has a plastic thing to stick the meat on and they bite it off. it would be good enrichment for rex and its really fun to do lol. and they would have a monopoly on the market for gator feedings in their local area i bet lol. you can find that all over the place in FL, but it could actually be a big draw for them in Minnesota
Yeah, nah. Feeding programs can be extremely stressful on the animals, can expose them to diseases and parasites and Emily and Ed don’t strike me as the kind of people to unnecessarily stress out their animals. Especially when you start reading about the feeding shows they have around the world. Trust me that shot needs to be eradicated. The animals aren’t there for human entertainment
Or perhaps being able to sponsor a reptile once they've gotten the zoo section open? I feel with each animal having different and specific feeding requirements and Snake Discovery having so many fans that it might be difficult to keep track of food donations. Or they have a donation bin and people can choose to leave a donation (be it money or physical products) to help local reptile charities or the store in general.
@@IvysPoison1987 can doesnt mean it has to be tho, if they limit the amount of people who can do it per week then i dont see how it would be that bad. they show their animals for people all the time at schools and events which can be very stressful when done improperly but they seem to know how to keep contact with the public as stress free as possible.
Employ Mandy. She needs to be part of Snake Discovery forever! And so many congratulations. The store looks magnificent. Can’t wait to see what the rest will look like. You guys will be the states best attraction.
Seriously, I'm considering coming to America for them, something I thought I'd never do. I'm hoping to go to Canada sometime in the future though, so I might go then! (I live in England BTW.)
They need to put a commemorative plaque up there listing all of the names of the humans that helped put the facility together, and they need to make sure that Mandy gets an extra special mention because Mandy has showed up at least once every facility update.
Been watching the process of the store since day 1 and I’m so happy that the grand opening has finally arrived, even if it was just a soft opening weekend. I’m so proud of both of you and wish nothing but the best with the store and upcoming attractions heading your way.
When Emily's head is tilted forward...her dimples are in the shape of hearts!!! She has so much love all of it couldn't fit in her heart..so it spilled to her cheeks!!!
I came in the first weekend (I'm fully vaccinated) and I really enjoyed my visit! Everyone is friendly, obviously knows what they're talking about, and the animals are so fun to watch! I loved the little mantises and the sand boas! This was my second time meeting Emily and Ed and they are always so kind and friendly. They are the best people and truly care for their animals. @8:15 I peeped the person with a Steam Powered Giraffe hoodie! This Snake Discovery fan group is my kind of people!
Congratulations with the soft opening!!! As well as to everyone who stopped by thank you for supporting. Loved seeing the many faces of you all who belong within our Snake Discovery Community. Beyond overjoyed getting to be introduced to you all. Also hope it will become a Pokémon gym. Hopefully soon I'll make a trip over. 💕 from TX. 🐍🌎
Seeing those flowers from that fan in Arkansas to congratulate you guys on your opening made me feel so warm. You guys and all the viewers have built such a fantastic community 🥺 congratulations on retail opening to everyone involved!!! 😁🎉
I'm so happy for you guys. You all worked so hard and made your dreams come true. With hearts bigger than the moon for animals and taking the time to have some personal time with your guests is so heartwarming. I love you guys so much. I wish I lived closer to apply for a job there. Keeping up with all your success here on TH-cam has made me really save up so I can maybe one day start my own collection and try breeding one day myself. You guys are amazing and I am so proud of how you guys have grown so much throughout your progress. I can't wait to one day come down and meet you all personally and even take home a new friend from you. :) again, love you guys. Keep it up
The kids are so cute. Glad your opening went well. Looks great, you guys and your helpers did a great job on the store. Looking forward to seeing the zoo too.
I bought one of the leucistic rat snakes opening weekend!! Norman is doing great and I’m super happy with my experience at the store! So happy for you guys :)
I am so proud of Ed and Emily. Even though I haven't been with the channel since the beginning, I'm so proud to watch them and their business grow and flourish.
It's so crazy that we've all been on this journey of seeing this store actually make it to the opening week. since 2019 to now, it feels like you guys only started demo day in January. I loved watching all of these vids :)
Once the "zoo" part opens I'm make my husband take me and my siblings up to the store. We live in South Texas. So it's going to be a drive but totaly worth it. So proud of Snake Discovery. They have come so far 😭😭❤❤
As someone who plays Pokemon GO on a near daily basis, I'm excited for the arch way to be a Pokestop! Hope to be able to visit the store and the zoo in the future when I'm able to travel to the US. Congratulations on the soft opening, guys! Ya'll truly deserve this!
So proud of you guys !!! I have watched you from "How to prepare your egg snakes" And you have grow so much We as your followers love you and love everything you do ! 🦎🐍🐢🐊❤
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Can’t wait till the grand opening!! Emily I can’t believed I never noticed you never really wear makeup in your other videos. Yous seriously a gorgeous lady!!
8 minutes ago!!! Jeez, it feels like yesterday you told us you had a building! It's been so exciting to watch the progress. I'm wishing you tons of luck and joy in this facility! It looks absolutely amazing!
I legit started crying. I’m so happy for you!!! I’ve been watching you for 4 years. I love your story and your positive attitude. You’re the reason I got my ball python, Blaise. Congratulations from both of us!!!!!!! See you when you open the zoo!
Once I get my life together I plan taking a trip to visit this store 🥺 hopefully I can meet all of you wonderful people. You guys have inspired me so much 💕
i may never be able to visit as i live literally across the world (the Philippines!) but I'm glad to be part of your journey thru the videos :) congratulations!!!
Congratulations to Emily, Ed, and all of Snake Discovery for achieving the first part of your dream!! Thank you to all the friends and family who helped - I love seeing great people with an amazing mission succeed. And thanks to all the fans and supporters who were able to go; so many of us are too far away! Looking forward to seeing Snake Discovery 's continued success :)
Emily and Ed, I just wanted to say I'm so incredibly happy for you. You guys have worked so hard and honestly your facility is something I've dreamed of doing for the last 12 years. When you work pet retail there's always that part of you that wishes you could do things differently, and the adoptable and locally bred animals was always my goal, as well as having educational fixtures. You guys both deserve all the success! Man it would be a dream to come work at Snake Discovery one day, I just don't know how y'all handle the snow 👀 Ed, pro tip, the bigger bags are easier. Curling the top does let out a bit of air but is easier for the customer to open at home. And instead of cupping from the side, I literally just grab straight down and twist and I always get a nice full bag of air 👍 You'll get the hang of it!
YES- My sister downloaded some of their songs onto my Leap Pad (ipad thingy for kids from Leapfrog) when I was 7! I always liked their songs- :]] Hope you have a good day, m'dude- :] 🧡
My four year old LOVES you! She’s been BEGGING for us to come see your new place! Haha she also wants a snake really bad 🤣 wish I could get over my fear
You guys should set up a website that just displays care guides and your inventory. Later down the line you could even set up shipping! But anyways, CONGRATS!!!!!
You guy are going to be so successful it’s the whole reptile zoo, store & your new snake discovery products. So happy for you two making your dreams come true!!

@@Paulamon92 I think it is time for a new boyfriend, Who loves animals.
@@maxradford5089 I do love all the animals. I'd have loads.
Going to need an art wall there because you are literally going to have fans coming with fan stuff for you.
This comment needs to be seen that's a great idea
Fans can take pictures infont of it too!
The little girl Emily that named her corn snake named Dot made me cry like a baby. My dog I’ve had forever ok 12 years died on 9/11 2019 her name was Dot. It made me feel that Dot is living on. Thanks Emily
That's sad makes it worse on 9/11 to.
Im sorry for your lost, dot knew your love🖤
I’m so sorry for your loss , a dog is a mans best freind and I know how it feels
I'm really sorry about your dog, my bf of 5 years had to put his 14 year old dog a while ago and I cried like a baby and he wasn't even my dog
may Dot be enjoying treats and pets in heaven
I had a best friend pet named Dot as well, I named him when I was 7 and he was my best friend for a year before his unfortunate death :((
Congratulations Emily and Ed! This is so amazing. My two daughters love watching your videos with me (especially Rex) and now you have your own store! Yay! 😊 I sincerely wish you success and happiness in your new adventure.
Emily wearing makeup 😱 (don’t worry you look good it was just surprising)
Yes, however you feel best Emily, looks good with and without! (I personally prefer the natural look though in general ;) )
I know right I was like somethings diffrent and then I clicked she looks so lovely
I feel she only used enough make up for the right amount of emphasis to make her features pop! Especially her eyes!!!
My partner was rushed to hospital today. The young doctor looked like 'Snake Emily' apparently!
Its the only time she could ever be doped up on pain meds call someone a snake and I don't give her a scolding lol!
Congratulations guys! I hope you're as proud of yourselves as I am :D
Ed is a true IT guy "Im going to be in back"
I have no idea how y’all stay so calm and cheerful during this incredibly stressful process, but I love seeing you work so harmoniously and enthusiastically together! Wishing you all the best for this new phase of your adventure. 💚
even when everything is done with the zoo and stuff, we need mandy on the channel. im just gonna miss her vibe haha
Same!
Ikr Mandy is the favorite 😂
Mandy MVP! :D
Get a new boy drawing callmecarson cambridgeshire
Yessss!
You two should add hidden qr codes In the building! They could lead to unlisted videos, and hidden content for visitors of the zoo! Secret hidden jems and videos for zoo-goers to discover and talk about!
Kind of asking allot for people who just took on so many new responsibilities.
Ps don't get my wrong it's a really fun idea and I don't mean to sound like a Debbie downer I just imagine they have their hands over flowing at the moment hah
@@modest1989 Fair point. I thought it sounded like a cool idea, and it doesn't need to be implemented right away. In the end, it's up to them and what they want to do with the place. It's already looking awesome, and I'm sure itll be perfect without it!
Would be kinda unfair to people like me who live in a different country so can't visit
@@alexisd8190 no no it would be unfair to the people who could visit if something fun was excluded from them on behalf of someone who can't take part regardless of anything. Come on now you sound 8 "I can't do it so no one gets to!" Try to be better than that. That's like saying don't have a patreon with added perks because I can't pay to be a member.
@@modest1989 I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen because yes it would be fun to the people that could go and it would be a cool addition so if they decided to do it obviously we couldn’t complain. I was just saying it would seem a little unfair as there’s so many of us that are unable to visit (same as so many are unable to be a member) so no I’m not being like an 8 yr old because if it happens then it happens and that’s that.
Sounds like Mandy is MVP. She’s been putting in some serious hours.
idea: hide the gnome in a different part of the facility every day as a treasure hunt of sorts
I remember when "Snake Discovery" store was just a dream. So happy to see your dreams come true! Congrats!!!!!!
I am SO glad Emily didn't stay at her "dream" job that made her cry!
Crying because I don't live in the USA and these videos are the closest ill get to visiting the shop.
Same
Of course I live in the same country but across from it
@@Mikhailsdrones where is it?
You should have a "feed an animal" program.. you can do it in both the retail and actual zoo. It's a way to get people excited about the animal while also bringing in money for food costs. 💜 of course they don't get over fed.. just on days they actually need to be fed you can give that option.
thats a really fun idea! They should do it with rex. A lot of places in FL will let you feel alligators little chopped up hot dogs on these plastic "fishing rods" (basically a stick with a string that has a plastic thing to stick the meat on and they bite it off. it would be good enrichment for rex and its really fun to do lol. and they would have a monopoly on the market for gator feedings in their local area i bet lol. you can find that all over the place in FL, but it could actually be a big draw for them in Minnesota
Yeah, nah. Feeding programs can be extremely stressful on the animals, can expose them to diseases and parasites and Emily and Ed don’t strike me as the kind of people to unnecessarily stress out their animals. Especially when you start reading about the feeding shows they have around the world. Trust me that shot needs to be eradicated. The animals aren’t there for human entertainment
Or perhaps being able to sponsor a reptile once they've gotten the zoo section open? I feel with each animal having different and specific feeding requirements and Snake Discovery having so many fans that it might be difficult to keep track of food donations. Or they have a donation bin and people can choose to leave a donation (be it money or physical products) to help local reptile charities or the store in general.
@@IvysPoison1987 can doesnt mean it has to be tho, if they limit the amount of people who can do it per week then i dont see how it would be that bad. they show their animals for people all the time at schools and events which can be very stressful when done improperly but they seem to know how to keep contact with the public as stress free as possible.
Great idea
Every time I watch this video it makes me smile. So happy for everyone. Congratulations!
“My fingers are too dumb” don’t worry Ed, so are mine lol
When he said that I was like “god that’s a mood”
Employ Mandy. She needs to be part of Snake Discovery forever! And so many congratulations. The store looks magnificent. Can’t wait to see what the rest will look like. You guys will be the states best attraction.
Seriously, I'm considering coming to America for them, something I thought I'd never do. I'm hoping to go to Canada sometime in the future though, so I might go then! (I live in England BTW.)
Can we just appreciate HOW MUCH MANDY DID FOR THIS!!! THANK UUUU ✨✨✨
They need to put a commemorative plaque up there listing all of the names of the humans that helped put the facility together, and they need to make sure that Mandy gets an extra special mention because Mandy has showed up at least once every facility update.
@@the_undead YES
Been watching the process of the store since day 1 and I’m so happy that the grand opening has finally arrived, even if it was just a soft opening weekend. I’m so proud of both of you and wish nothing but the best with the store and upcoming attractions heading your way.
When Emily's head is tilted forward...her dimples are in the shape of hearts!!! She has so much love all of it couldn't fit in her heart..so it spilled to her cheeks!!!
This is the cutest thing I’ve read in a while aww
I came in the first weekend (I'm fully vaccinated) and I really enjoyed my visit! Everyone is friendly, obviously knows what they're talking about, and the animals are so fun to watch! I loved the little mantises and the sand boas! This was my second time meeting Emily and Ed and they are always so kind and friendly. They are the best people and truly care for their animals.
@8:15 I peeped the person with a Steam Powered Giraffe hoodie! This Snake Discovery fan group is my kind of people!
Congratulations with the soft opening!!! As well as to everyone who stopped by thank you for supporting. Loved seeing the many faces of you all who belong within our Snake Discovery Community. Beyond overjoyed getting to be introduced to you all. Also hope it will become a Pokémon gym. Hopefully soon I'll make a trip over. 💕 from TX. 🐍🌎
I could literally feel your excitement through my screen
Seeing those flowers from that fan in Arkansas to congratulate you guys on your opening made me feel so warm. You guys and all the viewers have built such a fantastic community 🥺 congratulations on retail opening to everyone involved!!! 😁🎉
AHHHHHHH!!!! CANT WAIT TIL THE ENTIRE ZOO OPENS!!! WE'RE COMING FROM MICHIGAN!!!
I want to go but I live in England so if I can I might go to there for my birthday in july
i want to i live in massachusettes
Yeah I’ll drive 14 hours when the zoo and everything fully opens just to see all the animals plus to support Emily and Ed!
i really am about to drive from jersey to go
I would absolutely be willing to drive all the way there, but I’m in Arizona, so maybe going by plane would be more reasonable
@Nathan Mitchell did you happen to see any alligators at your stay and rug addics?
@Nathan Mitchell bruh it's a joke
I'm so happy for you guys. You all worked so hard and made your dreams come true. With hearts bigger than the moon for animals and taking the time to have some personal time with your guests is so heartwarming. I love you guys so much.
I wish I lived closer to apply for a job there. Keeping up with all your success here on TH-cam has made me really save up so I can maybe one day start my own collection and try breeding one day myself.
You guys are amazing and I am so proud of how you guys have grown so much throughout your progress. I can't wait to one day come down and meet you all personally and even take home a new friend from you. :) again, love you guys. Keep it up
I was one of the 1st 10 people in the door opening day.
So excited to have this place near me.
Ed having issues with the crickets is definitely relatable, I did the same at Animal House 😂
It's amazing so many animals were adopted on the opening weekend
Its amazing they got so many amazing animals for the stores and displays
The kids are so cute. Glad your opening went well. Looks great, you guys and your helpers did a great job on the store. Looking forward to seeing the zoo too.
Eeee I swear it's coming together like a lego set
Yessir
@Amanda Lee that's so cool! Unfortunately I live In England so I can't really visit the facility
Lego sets are confusing 🙄
I bought one of the leucistic rat snakes opening weekend!! Norman is doing great and I’m super happy with my experience at the store! So happy for you guys :)
When you live all the way on the other side of the world and can’t fly over to come see the facility 🤧
I bet you have amazing things there that none of us can come see, so it all works out. Maybe after the pandemic we can all travel again. :)
You’re not the only one. :)
me too
Me too
Yeah. @snakediscovery when you opening your UK branch? ;)
Congratulations on your success! It is so heartwarming to see your perseverance and hard work pay off! ❤❤
I am so proud of Ed and Emily. Even though I haven't been with the channel since the beginning, I'm so proud to watch them and their business grow and flourish.
It's so crazy that we've all been on this journey of seeing this store actually make it to the opening week. since 2019 to now, it feels like you guys only started demo day in January. I loved watching all of these vids :)
Definitely gonna take a road trip when the zoo opens!! Y’all are worth the 23 hrs 😂💕
i live 22 hours drive away from this too! So want to take a road trip just to visit!
@@FireChildSlytherin5 I'm in the U.K and am thinking of a visit
Where is snake discovery located??
Maplewood Minnesota, I believe you can find all the information on Google 🙂
Congrats on opening like more than 4 weeks agoooo🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Once the "zoo" part opens I'm make my husband take me and my siblings up to the store. We live in South Texas. So it's going to be a drive but totaly worth it. So proud of Snake Discovery. They have come so far 😭😭❤❤
As someone who plays Pokemon GO on a near daily basis, I'm excited for the arch way to be a Pokestop!
Hope to be able to visit the store and the zoo in the future when I'm able to travel to the US.
Congratulations on the soft opening, guys! Ya'll truly deserve this!
Love your profile pic
who could possibly dislike this video, i mean they probably just sit and wait for the the nicest people on youtube to post just to hate on them
Well done guys! So emotional watching this! It finally happened for you both after covid delaying everything!
So proud of you guys !!!
I have watched you from "How to prepare your egg snakes"
And you have grow so much
We as your followers love you and love everything you do ! 🦎🐍🐢🐊❤
Same :)
Egg snakes sounds so cute lol
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Can’t wait till the grand opening!!
Emily I can’t believed I never noticed you never really wear makeup in your other videos. Yous seriously a gorgeous lady!!
8 minutes ago!!!
Jeez, it feels like yesterday you told us you had a building! It's been so exciting to watch the progress. I'm wishing you tons of luck and joy in this facility! It looks absolutely amazing!
this brings me immense joy. 😭
i'm so thrilled that emily and ed has reached their dream and i hope it goes down so well.
When you're so early the time stamp doesn't even read one minute ago
I'm really psyched!
Haha same
Yep
Indeed!!! :)
8 seconds ago!
I'm here when it's 3 mins old 😂
I legit started crying. I’m so happy for you!!! I’ve been watching you for 4 years. I love your story and your positive attitude. You’re the reason I got my ball python, Blaise. Congratulations from both of us!!!!!!! See you when you open the zoo!
The pictures of rex that Nick made was insanely good!
Once I get my life together I plan taking a trip to visit this store 🥺 hopefully I can meet all of you wonderful people. You guys have inspired me so much 💕
To have a vision and to make it come to life so beautifully
i may never be able to visit as i live literally across the world (the Philippines!) but I'm glad to be part of your journey thru the videos :) congratulations!!!
Same same 🖐️😌
It’s so exciting and heart warming to see a creator you’ve followed for so long reach such a milestone
Congratulations to Emily, Ed, and all of Snake Discovery for achieving the first part of your dream!! Thank you to all the friends and family who helped - I love seeing great people with an amazing mission succeed. And thanks to all the fans and supporters who were able to go; so many of us are too far away! Looking forward to seeing Snake Discovery 's continued success :)
the cricket bagging segment took me straight back to my Petsmart days in high school. the nostalgia is real!
Emily and Ed, I just wanted to say I'm so incredibly happy for you. You guys have worked so hard and honestly your facility is something I've dreamed of doing for the last 12 years. When you work pet retail there's always that part of you that wishes you could do things differently, and the adoptable and locally bred animals was always my goal, as well as having educational fixtures.
You guys both deserve all the success! Man it would be a dream to come work at Snake Discovery one day, I just don't know how y'all handle the snow 👀
Ed, pro tip, the bigger bags are easier. Curling the top does let out a bit of air but is easier for the customer to open at home. And instead of cupping from the side, I literally just grab straight down and twist and I always get a nice full bag of air 👍 You'll get the hang of it!
"We got a new home for this amazon milk frog!"
"Whats his name?"
*"Garbage, its Garbage"*
I just wanna say, Steam Powered Girrafe is amazing and to the person who wore that sweatshirt is AMAZING
YES- My sister downloaded some of their songs onto my Leap Pad (ipad thingy for kids from Leapfrog) when I was 7! I always liked their songs- :]]
Hope you have a good day, m'dude- :]
🧡
@@TobValHjerte amazing, fabulous, show stoping
My four year old LOVES you! She’s been BEGGING for us to come see your new place! Haha she also wants a snake really bad 🤣 wish I could get over my fear
I love how many children are buying reptiles, me and my brother have two corn snakes and there actually really easy pets.
I like how real you both are. Congrats on the soft opening and because you are so real and humble you will be successful in this venture!
You guys should set up a website that just displays care guides and your inventory. Later down the line you could even set up shipping! But anyways, CONGRATS!!!!!
Found him instantly it was obvious because of how bright he was lol x3
You guy are going to be so successful it’s the whole reptile zoo, store & your new snake discovery products. So happy for you two making your dreams come true!!
Cheyenne at 14:43 is sticking her head into the frame like “move the camera back and film me.”
Wow Tiny Emily was sooo adorable! She's so well spoken✨🥺
You come so long, everyone is so proud of you and I wish I could be there
