Before anything gets out of control, exotic cats (caracals, servals, etc.) do NOT make good pets. Nor do anteaters 😅 They were only attending the show for educational purposes, so we had a perfect opportunity to teach viewers about these incredible animals 🥰
I did enjoy watching this! I think you should focus on reptiles for new products, as that is your audience and the reptiles need the representation as opposed to dogs and cats - though I love them and did enjoy seeing the cutie pies you petted! The seminars would be interesting too, for those who can't get there.
Thank you for putting this out there! I clicked ready to have to make some comments. When I interned at Nashville Zoo, I talked at baby feedings and you would not believe the amount of people who think a clouded leopard would make a great pet. Like yeah a full grown female is only 35-40 pounds (males about 45-55) but these guys have canines almost the size of tigers. Nursery staff have had claws of 2-3 month olds go through compression socks.
Its too bad you cant edit the video to say any of this for people who don't read the comments. It honestly sounded like the woman who was showing you them was promoting getting these animals by encouraging me to do my research, before go ahead and adopt my own. I'm sure there is context missing but you have a lot of young and impressionable viewers who will not understand that. You are at a pet expo.
Personally I adore the puns, and I love the "underperforming" videos. You always put 100% of your selves in videos. Snakes, birbs, cooking for animals and more!
to be honest as someone who doesnt get to go to many of these things due to disability and finances, Id be one of the few folks that would love to see video of the entire event from your perspective... gives me a chance to not only see things but hear you speak to vendors, and get your feedback as well.
Same! I love all sorts of of animals but don't have the means or physical capabilities to get out to expos, so getting to see the whole of the expo is wonderful.
She'll undoubtedly be at the next show too, since Ed and Emily have made another short video of her loving their product 🤣 I'm not sure if I'd personally like it if a video I made was used to sell something without my knowledge, but they don't seem to mind so good vibes all around
Maybe there isn't demand for a podcast but I hope you guys continue "Adoptathon". It was so cool to see all the surrenders and watch them find new homes. My humble plea to continue it! 🙏❤
I would 100% listen to a snake discovery podcast about anything!!!!!! What it is like to be a business owner,animal care, what it is like to be a zoo owner, or about there animals!! Anything I would listen to it !!!
being a cat person I feel the need to re-emphasize that servals and carcals are *not* pets. Servals have territories of 4-12 miles in the wild, caracals have a minimum territory size of 22 miles in the wild and many have territories much larger. They should never be kept in homes or by private keepers. This is not a "do your research" situation, this is a "don't do it" situation.
Begs the question why are they being shown at a pet trade fair???? not much point "educating" people on an animal they "shouldn't" be keeping as pets, only in America.
To be perfectly honest with you, I enjoy watching pretty much everything you guys make. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I like watching your videos because you love making them. My favourite segments in these videos is honestly your interviews with the vendors. It doesn't have to be entirely about reptiles or birds or anything. It could be with anyone. I love seeing people talk about what they enjoy doing, and with a lot of these vendors it is 100% a passion for them. You could have made a 10 hour video of just you interviewing the vendors at the show and I would have watched the entire thing.
Personally, I love videos like this. I can’t travel to big events like that, so seeing it here on TH-cam (especially from my favorite channel) is both fun and really informative! It’s nice to have a sneak peek at products before they’re officially released so I’ll know the best ones to look out for in the future 😊 seeing new, innovative stuff like that brings a whole new level of excitement to the hobby. Also, about the enclosure that was briefly shown with a sliding knob rather than a lock; I’ve had an enclosure like that for my ball python for years now, and it’s great. There are no turning pieces or plastic bits to wear down over time. It’s much simpler than having to keep up with the key to a proper lock, especially for someone with a busy schedule or anyone who misplaces things easily. I highly recommend them
I very much love learning about new products for snakes specifically. I personally want to make snake jungle gym equipment for people to play with their snakes while their out of their enclosures.
i love that! i’m moving soon and when i have more space and pull out my old barbie hotel from storage and trick it out for my lil snakes and lizards to play on
Dear Emily, Im an adult woman, and I try to start up my own buisness too. I love watching your channel as a "normal life of buissness owners". I know Edd does a lot fo SD, but as a woman myself your a huge inspiration for me Emily!! And make me belive in myself that I can build something from ground up alone! Please do more buisness vlogs !
love these kind of video! the only concern i have is highlighting those in the more "exotic" pet trade without proper disclaimers about how 9 times out of 10 they're not suitable as good pets. oh course there was that small disclaimer at the end with the serval, but i definitely think there needs to be more clear discouragement. you're pretty good on this about reptiles - you've always shown how keeping an alligator as a pet isn't a good idea - but i think a lot more needs to go into the more "popular" exotic pets that people like to buy and abuse when they cant care for them correctly, like the felines and foxes and the sort. that's my only concern! otherwise, very happy with this kind of content
100% agree - even Savannah cats, the Serval x domestic hybrid, top the charts on abandoned/surrendered cat "breeds." They are not designed to adapt to captivity :(
I was thinking this too. The amount of exotic pets sold every year is increasing because of viral videos driving demand. And of course the majority of these animals are not well cared for 😢 People impluse buy animals because they look cute in videos but are not prepared for how difficult it is to actually care for a wild animal.
Everyone please stick with domesticated animals and reptiles/amphibians!! I promise you will have a more rewarding bond with a regular dog or cat than with an exotic that is much harder to care more, will destroy your home and will be much more expensive!
I would LOVE a Snake Discovery podcast! You have so much to teach us! And you can get questions from the viewers and answer them on the podcast along with any stories that you’d like to share! There’s so much you could do with it lol
Servals are terrible pets. Servals and Asian Leopard Cats and Caracals, and their hybridized versions, are at the TOP of surrendered/abandoned felines. Many vets nationwide who work with dogs and cats will turn you away if you bring in a Savannah because it is a wild animal. PLEASE don't make more - I volunteer at a rescue and it is heart-wrenching what they go through in the pet trade! Even the lady herself said it was common for the moms to eat the young, please don't support the wildcat pet trade because they are NOT designed to thrive in captivity. Edit: I did mean percentage. They aren't likely to have a happy ending in private homes.
This this this this this!!! Exotic animals are not good pets!! Edit: exotic as in "literally a wild mammal. Like a tiger or serval." I'm sure you all can use context clues to puzzle out what I meant here.
Absolutely. I volunteer at the minnesota Wildcat Sanctuary and see the many, many hybrids, Savannahs, caracals, lynx, bobcats, etc that people surrendered or had taken from them. It needs to stop.
Domesticated animals like house cats and dogs are already such a big lifestyle commitment for the length of the animal's life. Wild animals are not the same at all in terms of the ability to live with humans in human-centered settings like our homes.
Yes! Worked in a rescue for multiple years, we got so many serval/savannah cats and bangals too :( like yeah you get a few very nice cats out of them but most are to wild and sensitive for typical homes
Honestly, I hope you do more with the rescue side of exotic animals, especially in different areas of the world, so that people have somewhere to look if they need help. The reptile product reviews are great too.
“There’s not enough demand for a podcast” EMILY WE WATCH THE JASON SHOW IF YOURE ON IT!!” Do I own or want to own a reptile? No. Do I live anywhere near MN??? No. But there I am, watching Jason freaking out if he touches a snakes tail 😂😂😂!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! I followed that channel just because of Emily and I get SO excited when he brings up an SD video and luckily the algorithm knows me well enough to know that it only shows me Emily's videos on Jason's channel 😆
I just caught one of Emily's Jason appearances yesterday. The one with the monkey skink and the rattlesnake. It was so much fun seeing him actually holding a snake.
Same here. If not for Emily, I wouldn't even know the show existed... ( I'm from the Netherlands) Watched every TH-cam video with Jason and Emily. And even the one without Jason 😂
This is an awesome video & enjoy seeing your reptile items but I myself would love to see new cat products too. A show like this is something that a regular consumer does not get to see. It would be helpful to learn of new cat products that are coming soon. I'm personally not a reptile lover, but your videos show that they are not as creepy as I've always thought them to be. I'm not going to be getting any of your creatures, but I do so enjoy your excitement & knowledge you share in your videos. Thank you, Emily & Ed, for all you do. ❤️
Watching from Western Australia here and I absolutely adore the videos you and Ed put out. The shows are a great way to educate the associated products with keeping and breeding reptiles. I don't think you need to focus on unrelated animal products. The exotic pets, there aren't enough plugging other businesses and rescues associated, this is a great option you have included.
Seriously Emily, Ed, I'm betting quite a few of your fans will never get to meet you in person, let alone go to an expo. Keep up what you've been doing. The 2 of you and the parents are really neat to watch!
also also: yes LOVE these videos! I like seeing you look at what's new in the reptile world! Also love looking into animals we can't usually see and get to know a bit about them. I'd focus on reptile related things and maybe more exotic pets (and why not to get them lol). There are endlessss dog and cat things. Reptile care is so different than 'typical' pet care, and based so much more on recreating the best environment for these animals.
As someone wanting to get into replies and exotic pets in general it's super helpful to see new stuff coming out that could make caring for pets a little easier
Looooved this! As part of your adult audience, I would love more of these things. Especially love seeing what you do at these as opposed to the new products, a good mix of vendors, animals and seminars!
I hope the social media seminar talked about endorsements if you use a customer's review as an ad! That seemed to be what she was suggesting, but there are legal implications for that. Love the video!!
4:00 I have that enclosure for my blue tongue skink and the lock is the best part. It's so easy to open and close and looks much nicer than traditional locks. It was easy to assemble it too.
Do you find it quite strong? My first thought was that it might jostle and fall out from the outside, but that's obviously without knowing what it's like in person.
Love this type of video. I enjoy watching all the new products and if you came across something super interesting for cats and dogs it would definitely be interesting to watch but main focus on exotic/reptiles is where it’s at.
I personally like the business/seminar videos you guys make as long as you're alright with it adding more to edit, post, etc. It gives insight into how much goes into the business as reptile breeders, educators, and content creators and thus helps your audience really appreciate what you guys do. It also gives insight in what it takes to learn new knowledge and skills as you expand your business! 💛💛💛
My favorite thing about these types of videos is seeing live animals (of all sorts including inverts) and having the vendors talk about them! A close second is talking to vendors about their products. ...so I guess talking to vendors in general is my favorite part of these videos. In my opinion it's probably best to mostly stick with exotics (I'd count birds in that group even though they're more common as pets than other reptiles), since there's already a lot of coverage about cat and dog stuff. But if you find any particularly interesting products for dogs and/or cats (like that little robot you took a video of) I'd like to see those too! Of course these are just my personal opinions, fwiw I'm not a business owner or even an exotic pet owner, I'm just an autistic zoology nerd.
I enjoy all your videos. I have no reptiles or interest in getting any, but I love learning about them from your videos. Plus it helped me get "cool Grandma"points when I visited my grandson and confidently held and enjoyed his newly acquired corn snake. Such a beautiful snake, and I had you to thank for just being able to enjoy the snake, the moment, and the connection with my grandson.
I liked the video as it is, watching you guys wander around for stuff your interested in, in the moment. It's a nice mix of focus on reptiles and chaotic-good vibes. If you guys focused only on reptiles we viewers would have missed learning about the furry animals, and the coffee guy and Cheyenne's surprize fame!
Personally, they’re so busy making videos and running their biz, I’d vote for not throwing more demands on them. Would be interested in dog/cat products only while they are at these venues, if not too much trouble. Fantastic hard working young couple deserving of all their success. Love them! ❤❤
I enjoy all your videos that aren't about cleaning or probing. Honestly, a large part of it is just Emily being a very good presenter, and there are the funny captions, with it all being about adorable animals that I don't have to take care of being a lovely bonus.
Love these videos,would love to see more with cats and new products when u go to these functions. I have 3 cats and love to see new toys, food and water dishes that come out.
Loved this video! More of this content! I'm interested in the world of animal husbandry in general so reptile, cat, dog, rodent etc products are all interesting
Loved this I would watch more about all kinds of animal products I'm not really into seminars but other people might be. I thought you did a responsible job of letting people know that the wild cays weren't suitable pets for most people😊
This was definitely a fun watch. Love seeing the updates of behind the screen activities and it also provides us an idea of what is coming out and what you are doing. I’m already pretty familiar with stuff like this but in a retail and manufacturing sense so it was awesome to see it from a pet end of it all.
lovelove LOVE your expo vids!! Even just seeing the new things, regardless of pet type or seminar!! Also it’s always great to see you talking to and giving other brands a chance to get their stuff seen to potential customers!!!
Love these videos. It’s such a good way of showcasing what’s out there and what’s coming up in the reptile world especially for those who can’t be there. Personally, I wouldn’t be fussed about the cat and dog items (because there are SO many videos and other information about them already). But, I am biased because I am an advocate for correct keeping of guinea pigs, I would love to see more on small animals and birds because they (like reptiles) always get looked over and the care/equipment/enrichment/cages sold by the larger companies never meet the requirements for the animal. So it would be great to see the innovations coming out for them too.
I love seeing EVERYTHING you guys put out! It's sad to hear Cheyenne's video performed so poorly, I had a lot of fun with that one! I love you guys as people, so literally any content you make is enjoyable to watch. :) Snakes or no snakes!
Loved the video! All of it is so interesting, plus we’ve watched y’all build Snake Discovery from a small program into an amazing business! We’re just happy to be a part of it all. More please❤😊
I loved this style of video!! Honestly, it was the perfect mix of new products, animal spot lights, and wholesome fun. I'm happy to see any type of animal care. You two make everything interesting because you're YOU. :)
I enjoy these videos! It's worth noting that I pay attention to some parts a lot more than others - the seminars and animals I imagine, but it is all interesting. It feels like I learn a lot about what's out there.
I love this video. I like to learn about new products. Even for cats and dogs. I also love seeing more exotic products. As I have ferrets, rats, snakes, cats and dogs.
I think a Snake Discover podcast would be an amazing idea! You could talk about specific species of snakes and their morphs and where they come from. It could be like an internet zoo exhibit. You could do interviews with other breeders, like the ones you talk to at conventions and get their takes on the reptile world in more depth than you can put in a youtube video. It would be great to use it as a spotlight for endangered species as well. There's a lot of details that you can put in a podcast that you don't have time for in your normal content because you have to squeeze in time for all the animals you feature.
I have cats and dogs, so I'd be happy to learn about new stuff for them, but I'd probably rather hear more about reptile stuff, though I also really love hearing about bird stuff, and I love your videos with/about Cheyenne. I'm sad that video didn't perform as well, because it was one of my favorites!
Yes, I do like these kinds of videos. When I would go to industry conferences, I loved the vendor floor where new items and new ways to use old items were demoed. Regarding this video, seeing the video of you, Ed, & Cheyenne was perfect. And when Ed's mom moved out of camera range, the glimpse was so quick but I thought I recognized the lady!🤣Thanks to you both for an extremely entertaining vid.
also! Yay Shane early appearance at 3:48!!! [edit: corrected "ZooMed cameo" to "Shane early appearance". I didn't see the ending with ZooMed before commenting]
I'd like to see more on isopods, if even just as part of a bioactive setup, and springtails (which are pretty much always part of a bioactive setup, even if they're the only part that's bioactive.)
Absolutely love these kind of videos. Daily life stuff is always fun to watch. Interviews with other business/pet owners, new products, or just random vlogging. The seminars themselves- not so much. But I always look forward to this style and seeing what you guys experience :D
I just like your videos in general. You guys just give good & positive vibes! Your personalities are fun & I can almost always get a smile on my face watching no matter what you're doing! I'm a cat lady always with a dog, but I like reptiles & love learning more about them! I'm very knowledgeable about dogs & cats (currently taking care of a 5 week ago kitten), but I love animals in general & I love seeing your passion for reptiles!
Before anything gets out of control, exotic cats (caracals, servals, etc.) do NOT make good pets. Nor do anteaters 😅 They were only attending the show for educational purposes, so we had a perfect opportunity to teach viewers about these incredible animals 🥰
Yea, after Joe Exotic I'm pretty conflicted about keeping wild cats.
love your videos

I personally love the videos with Cheyenne, I hope the poor numbers don’t stop you from continuing to make them!
Agreed! Cheyenne is precious and I'll happily watch anything about her anytime.
YES! More Cheyenne! And more Rex!
I loved that video! I can’t believe it did poorly! Watching Cheyenne eat food was so fun!

Also big agree
Personally I adore the puns, and I love the "underperforming" videos. You always put 100% of your selves in videos. Snakes, birbs, cooking for animals and more!
You mean “sneks”
Ed's role within the company being "husband" implies that he is married to everyone within snake discovery😂
Isn’t he all of our husbands?
Does that mean that it’s alright for us to love him?

The Rex latte is amazing! It's not just a random alligator, it's CLEARLY Rex!
With her little upturned snout... so cute
Maybe there isn't demand for a podcast but I hope you guys continue "Adoptathon". It was so cool to see all the surrenders and watch them find new homes. My humble plea to continue it! 🙏❤
Seconded! I really love the Adoptathon streams!
I think they will do it again when it warms up and is a safe temperatures to ship that is why they stopped before

Pet dilemmas also- agony aunt style. 'My bearded dragon scratched my kiddo and they won't pet it...' sort of things
How weird I loved the Cheyenne trying different foods vid! Super happy to see it broadcasting there!
Same. Plus that food looked tasty enough for humans to eat, lol.
Me too!

I'm betting quite a few of your fans will never get to meet you in person, let alone go to an expo. Keep up what you've been doing. The 2 of you and the parents are really neat to watch!
also also: yes LOVE these videos! I like seeing you look at what's new in the reptile world! Also love looking into animals we can't usually see and get to know a bit about them.
I'd focus on reptile related things and maybe more exotic pets (and why not to get them lol). There are endlessss dog and cat things. Reptile care is so different than 'typical' pet care, and based so much more on recreating the best environment for these animals.
I love seeing what is new to the pet care community, whatever the animal might be. It's just fun seeing you two have fun!!!
Us cat owners call churu “cat crack”. lol.
I liked the format of this video. A little bit of everything. New products, other types of pets.
As someone wanting to get into replies and exotic pets in general it's super helpful to see new stuff coming out that could make caring for pets a little easier
Looooved this! As part of your adult audience, I would love more of these things. Especially love seeing what you do at these as opposed to the new products, a good mix of vendors, animals and seminars!
I hope the social media seminar talked about endorsements if you use a customer's review as an ad! That seemed to be what she was suggesting, but there are legal implications for that. Love the video!!
The expose that you guys go to are always so much fun to watch. It’s always great to see new animal reptile products coming out thanks.
I love seeing new reptile products the uvb led lights are very interesting and something that has been needed for a long time.
4:00 I have that enclosure for my blue tongue skink and the lock is the best part. It's so easy to open and close and looks much nicer than traditional locks. It was easy to assemble it too.
Do you find it quite strong? My first thought was that it might jostle and fall out from the outside, but that's obviously without knowing what it's like in person.
What enclosure is that? I really like the look of it and since this video came out I have been searching for where I can find that lock :')
Love this type of video. I enjoy watching all the new products and if you came across something super interesting for cats and dogs it would definitely be interesting to watch but main focus on exotic/reptiles is where it’s at.
All in favor of a snake discovery podcast upvote this so they know!! We would LOVE that
I personally like the business/seminar videos you guys make as long as you're alright with it adding more to edit, post, etc. It gives insight into how much goes into the business as reptile breeders, educators, and content creators and thus helps your audience really appreciate what you guys do. It also gives insight in what it takes to learn new knowledge and skills as you expand your business! 💛💛💛
For the record, I would TOTALLY listen to a Snake Discovery podcast 😂
Me too!
Me three!
Stuff like this and Cheyenne's video are definitely fun and enjoyable.
Please please please post more shenanigans! I need them. I ❤ you guys.
I also love to see it
the little servals face at 14:42 looked like it was smiling!! so cute! ❤
It’s perfect how it was. Just showing a mix of everything.
My favorite thing about these types of videos is seeing live animals (of all sorts including inverts) and having the vendors talk about them! A close second is talking to vendors about their products. ...so I guess talking to vendors in general is my favorite part of these videos.
In my opinion it's probably best to mostly stick with exotics (I'd count birds in that group even though they're more common as pets than other reptiles), since there's already a lot of coverage about cat and dog stuff. But if you find any particularly interesting products for dogs and/or cats (like that little robot you took a video of) I'd like to see those too!
Of course these are just my personal opinions, fwiw I'm not a business owner or even an exotic pet owner, I'm just an autistic zoology nerd.
I enjoy all your videos. I have no reptiles or interest in getting any, but I love learning about them from your videos. Plus it helped me get "cool Grandma"points when I visited my grandson and confidently held and enjoyed his newly acquired corn snake. Such a beautiful snake, and I had you to thank for just being able to enjoy the snake, the moment, and the connection with my grandson.
Oh, I love hearing this!! 🥺❤️
I liked the video as it is, watching you guys wander around for stuff your interested in, in the moment. It's a nice mix of focus on reptiles and chaotic-good vibes. If you guys focused only on reptiles we viewers would have missed learning about the furry animals, and the coffee guy and Cheyenne's surprize fame!
The Rex latte is ADORABLE!!! You guys are amazing and wonderful and I love each and every one of your videos...even the ones on the tarantulas....
I personally would absolutely listen to a SD podcast!! But I understand that would be a lot on top of what you guys already do!! 💚🖤💚🖤
A Podcast with you guys would be an absolute dream!
FOR REAL!
Agreed! They both know so much cool stuff and I don't just mean about reptiles.
Totally! ❤ I'd listen all day
Personally, they’re so busy making videos and running their biz, I’d vote for not throwing more demands on them.
Would be interested in dog/cat products only while they are at these venues, if not too much trouble.
Fantastic hard working young couple deserving of all their success.
Love them! ❤❤
They have appeared on podcasts before but they're too busy to have they're own podcast
I enjoy all your videos that aren't about cleaning or probing. Honestly, a large part of it is just Emily being a very good presenter, and there are the funny captions, with it all being about adorable animals that I don't have to take care of being a lovely bonus.
Especially the snake captions! 😆
Wow the rex-latte!
Love these videos,would love to see more with cats and new products when u go to these functions. I have 3 cats and love to see new toys, food and water dishes that come out.
I love these types of videos where you interview all sorts of folks. I can always learn so much from them!
Loved this video! More of this content! I'm interested in the world of animal husbandry in general so reptile, cat, dog, rodent etc products are all interesting
i loved the cheyanne video! i'm getting some of those for my bird niece and nephew
I really enjoy seeing your buddies/friends and hearing their updates about products.
All for seeing new products, and since I have cats and dogs, all for that, too!
Loved this I would watch more about all kinds of animal products I'm not really into seminars but other people might be. I thought you did a responsible job of letting people know that the wild cays weren't suitable pets for most people😊
I love these types of event videos!!! New products for sure, the seminars tend to be pointed for business owners.
I'll watch videos like this, I also watched the video with Cheyenne trying different foods too
I like seeing the new products, but particularly things about reptiles and birds.
XD so funny when Ed's mom backs out of frame. We're happy to see all families of Snake Discovery~ Don't be scared~
This was definitely a fun watch.
Love seeing the updates of behind the screen activities and it also provides us an idea of what is coming out and what you are doing.
I’m already pretty familiar with stuff like this but in a retail and manufacturing sense so it was awesome to see it from a pet end of it all.
lovelove LOVE your expo vids!! Even just seeing the new things, regardless of pet type or seminar!! Also it’s always great to see you talking to and giving other brands a chance to get their stuff seen to potential customers!!!
Love seeing the shows. I will probably never get to go to one of these so these are great to watch.
I wish more people enjoyed the video where cheyenne tried the different foods. I loved it!
1:05 lol nice Emily. Ed the husband 😂😂😂😂
Love these videos.
It’s such a good way of showcasing what’s out there and what’s coming up in the reptile world especially for those who can’t be there.
Personally, I wouldn’t be fussed about the cat and dog items (because there are SO many videos and other information about them already).
But, I am biased because I am an advocate for correct keeping of guinea pigs, I would love to see more on small animals and birds because they (like reptiles) always get looked over and the care/equipment/enrichment/cages sold by the larger companies never meet the requirements for the animal.
So it would be great to see the innovations coming out for them too.
I really liked this video. I used to go to conventions like this when I helped my father run a comic book store. I would love to see more of these.
I love to see the new gear that's coming out, exciting things technology is doing, like the sunrise/sunset feature for the lights. Brilliant.
I've been watching you for 2 years now and I'm astonished by you, you have inspired me along my life, thank you and I love you ❤
I love seeing EVERYTHING you guys put out! It's sad to hear Cheyenne's video performed so poorly, I had a lot of fun with that one!
I love you guys as people, so literally any content you make is enjoyable to watch. :) Snakes or no snakes!
I would ABSOLUTELY love a Snake Discovery podcast!!
I really enjoyed Cheyenne's taste test! Was something different and i liked the battle of the tastes xD
Loved the video! All of it is so interesting, plus we’ve watched y’all build Snake Discovery from a small program into an amazing business! We’re just happy to be a part of it all. More please❤😊
This may seem random to most people but I love how accessible and spacious this place is ✨
The latte was amazing!!!
These are cool videos. I think the fun part is getting my to see the stuff that genuinely excites you.
I loved this style of video!! Honestly, it was the perfect mix of new products, animal spot lights, and wholesome fun. I'm happy to see any type of animal care. You two make everything interesting because you're YOU. :)
i would absolutely listen to a snake discovery podcast
Love these vids! Please do more! Products, pets, seminars, all of it! 😊
YOU GUYS SHOULD REALLY MAKE A PODCAST!!!!!!! THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!!!! DONT SLEEP ON IT!!
Agreed that’s a great idea!
I’d definitely listen. I want to hear about all the BTS.
And meet some of the staff at Snake Discovery who aren't comfortable with the camera but can happy talk all day about their pets, etc.
I enjoy these videos! It's worth noting that I pay attention to some parts a lot more than others - the seminars and animals I imagine, but it is all interesting. It feels like I learn a lot about what's out there.
You guys are always so cool and educational! Love your vids
I love this video. I like to learn about new products. Even for cats and dogs. I also love seeing more exotic products. As I have ferrets, rats, snakes, cats and dogs.
I think a Snake Discover podcast would be an amazing idea! You could talk about specific species of snakes and their morphs and where they come from. It could be like an internet zoo exhibit. You could do interviews with other breeders, like the ones you talk to at conventions and get their takes on the reptile world in more depth than you can put in a youtube video. It would be great to use it as a spotlight for endangered species as well. There's a lot of details that you can put in a podcast that you don't have time for in your normal content because you have to squeeze in time for all the animals you feature.
I have cats and dogs, so I'd be happy to learn about new stuff for them, but I'd probably rather hear more about reptile stuff, though I also really love hearing about bird stuff, and I love your videos with/about Cheyenne. I'm sad that video didn't perform as well, because it was one of my favorites!
I love that Cheyenne was on the TV! I hope even though it didn't do that well, please upload more!!!
Yes, I do like these kinds of videos. When I would go to industry conferences, I loved the vendor floor where new items and new ways to use old items were demoed. Regarding this video, seeing the video of you, Ed, & Cheyenne was perfect. And when Ed's mom moved out of camera range, the glimpse was so quick but I thought I recognized the lady!🤣Thanks to you both for an extremely entertaining vid.
The anteater 😮 his front paws 🐾 are huge 😅. Awesome critter 😄
I love Cheyenne reviewing and eating food!! I love when you have your animals try new things ♥♥
also! Yay Shane early appearance at 3:48!!!
[edit: corrected "ZooMed cameo" to "Shane early appearance". I didn't see the ending with ZooMed before commenting]
I'd like to see more on isopods, if even just as part of a bioactive setup, and springtails (which are pretty much always part of a bioactive setup, even if they're the only part that's bioactive.)
Absolutely love these kind of videos. Daily life stuff is always fun to watch. Interviews with other business/pet owners, new products, or just random vlogging. The seminars themselves- not so much. But I always look forward to this style and seeing what you guys experience :D
Wow this is for sure one of those shows that needs a *map*.
I just like your videos in general. You guys just give good & positive vibes! Your personalities are fun & I can almost always get a smile on my face watching no matter what you're doing! I'm a cat lady always with a dog, but I like reptiles & love learning more about them! I'm very knowledgeable about dogs & cats (currently taking care of a 5 week ago kitten), but I love animals in general & I love seeing your passion for reptiles!
Well played, Emily 🤣🤣
