Emily's casual, "Oh hi!" when Brayden walked in on her being eaten by a lizard was funnier than it should have been. Meanwhile him trying to catch cricket escapees while Ed continued to pry the lizard off with scissors, and a third person filmed it all was a pretty good summary of what it's probably like to run a zoo lol.
Calling the monitor a jerk was the most "colorful" I've ever seen Emily's language towards one of their own animals. While he was doing his best interpretation of the jaws of life. Adorable.
Hijacking this comment since it's the most liked right now: but wouldn't submerging the monitors head under water make it want to let go? Like, they wouldn't let themselves drown, would they?
@@Soph-xr4br Ah, good to hear that it's a useful tactic. I don't have lizards, only snakes, so I don't have any experience with lizards latching on hahah. However, one time one of my snakes latched onto herself while I was feeding her and she refused to let go. But once I put one drop of vinegar in her mouth she let go instantly, and still ate her meal a few minutes later!
It’s the fun of reptiles, you get used to being bit. So many times my bull snake would latch on my hand and I’d be like “aww, I’m not food you silly thing” and then later “wow, my hand kinda hurts, lol”
I can see the sub-categories now. "That's Not Food," "You Don't Belong There," and "Staff Hijinks." For all the shenanigans, Snake Discovery looks like a great workplace.
@@kimdenny7978 Like the big pool Rex had pre-Facility, ideally with a dry spot since she seems to like it and a fence or something around or on top... Also, they could block access to the feed pallets.
I may have accidentally reported this post - I hope not. If I did, my sincerest apology - I was trying to edit my own post directly above, & clicked on the wrong three-dot thingie.......
The way she always manages to make weird situations with animals positive and interesting is amazing. Emily: "You never know what could happen here!" Also Emily: Proudly saying that the Monitor would be on the naughty animal of the day board for chomping on her arm.
Yes more!!! You need a sign that says “X days since escape” on the naughty board. Maybe you should make a video showing how secure the venomous snake enclosures are so that people aren’t worried about them escaping. I’m sure it’s perfect and inescapable but I could see how future zoo patrons may want to see that they have an extra secure enclosure. Just a thought.
They did show off how they’re even more secure in the Justin timber snake video :3 they screwed on the light screen, triple foamed anything that looked even a little loose, has a 5inch glass overlap to prevent people from sticking fingers in, as well as double locks that only Ed and Emily have access too :3. Chloe just loves escaping and is super sweet (she doesn’t snap really according to some of Emily’s past videos). Notice how Emily’s hand placement on her. If Chloe snapped easily, Emily would not be holding her there but as far from Chloe’s head as possible. This video was just so much fun to watch!
1:32 I see this a lot in rabbits as well, an intact male will go in tightly closed circles around himself thinking that his tail is a female. Sometimes they get a good bite on their back and it trips them up. The look of confusion when the female they have been chasing suddenly disappears is adorable.
As someone who has worked with animals a lot over the years, I can tell this is gonna be such a fun series. The behind the scenes antics at any type of animal care facility can get so funny
OOF that bite! Love the shenanigans! I do hope Chloe gets an upgraded set-up soon. She's such an escape artist, and it's funny to watch - but I am hoping it doesn't become a never ending occurrence. For her safety and everyone's sanity, lol.
Funny you say that. I used to have a sign on our bathroom door when my daughter was a toddler that said to please keep the door closed at all times for “her safety and mom’s sanity” lol.
I think my heart stopped when you explained that if you put the ackie down on a flat surface, he would have started tearing your flesh off. Lizards are adorable but scary! Would really love to see more of this series, the staff all seem like so much fun and I'd love to get to know them better through clips like these :D
The tricolor mating with itself was great. 😂 And yay for new tadpoles! That lizard bite looked really painful. Please keep the series up. Great to see how mich fun you all have!

Thank you, for Finally identifying a behavior that has perplexed me for years. The Milk Snake moving in perfect sync with himself is something Corn Snake has done many times, usually when he comes out of his pseudo-hibernation in the middle of winter. I always thought he was just energetic after a shed or being inactive. I had no idea he was actually trying to breed with himself. I learned something today!
@@_veronica_r Fair, wasn't paying attention to the snake, just releveling in finally having an answer to a question about my own snake's behavior. No need to be nasty.

It's actually a good idea...especially for someone considering getting an exotic pet but never had one ,besides care and such ..it shows others issues someone might come across alot of TH-camrs don't discuss ..please keep making these ♥️♥️
@@VermilionLotusthey mentioned it in another vid. It's partly why in some vids Emily has to cover her hands if she gets bit buy a snake. Yt didn't like the blood or smthn ig
This was so fun and I was laughing out loud at the snake trying to eat the leaf. I really hope you continue this series because the hijinks are such a serotonin boost (not so much Emily being lizard food but you know).
I love this series already. I don't know much on snapping turtles but seems like Chloe may need an escaped proof container, undersides of pallets can be dangerous loose sharp peices(found this out at work a few times)
Here's a weird idea in the meantime while you guys look at the possibility of an upgrade. You clearly don't intend on moving those pallets anytime soon. I know you had (and hopefully still have) some decent quality scrap wood in the greenhouse. Might be time to make some impromptu kick boards and block those pallets off, use screws instead of staples if you want to remove the kickboards and use a pallet jack again later
This is footage from back when they were still moving animals into the zoo. Chloe has her own big enclosure now (or at least that is what I have heard).

The staff should be added more into the series. They all seem so interesting to experience.. of course if they're comfortable with it but I'd love to see them more for this series... Also, since chloe keeps escaping, wouldn't it be nice to put a net mesh or something over her enclosure?
I thought they were going to upgrade her to Rex's old big pool, but then again, they are probably lacking room for something that big in their backroom area.
@@_.-._.-. on Rex’s birthday they got her a big pool to replace the kiddy pool and said Chloe would be using it once Rex was in the zoo. That pool is deeper and bigger than the one Chloe is in now
Watched this with my dad a while ago and he agreed that the monitor bite was worse than a snake bite then added "but in my experience the crocodilia family is the worse to get bit by." Its the in my experience line that gets me. This is a man who when I was 8 years old ran into the middle of the road to grab a 4 foot rat snake to show me and my little cousins. A valid conversation we have is if we should adopt a snake but we have deemed our house was too busy for them. But anyway I asked him how he knew what was worse and he said he had been bitten by a snake, a monitor, and a small alligator.
Emily now has the cutest little extremely painful wound though, and I'm envious of her future tiny dinosaur bite scar. This is GREAT!!! I love this format.
0:12 idk her name but one of the workers just in the background working out with a snake and Emily’s doesn’t care like I’m dying😭 thanks for 15 likes yall
I thought they mentioned in another video a while back that they were going to give Rex's last tub she had at home to Chloe... maybe it is too big for the office area though?
Yeah, it was silly at 1st, but obviously Chloe isn't happy in her current enclosure, and it's honestly pretty small for her size; I'd want out, too. I'm really hoping they upgrade her soon, or pay someone to if they're too busy. I absolutely love this channel, but it is kinda sad to see Chloe in such a small enclosure. 😢
I love this video and I desperately hope everyone else does too so we can watch more shenanigans! I do have a suggestion. Maybe since Chloe loves exploring so much she should get an enclosure and enrichment upgrade? She a looking a little small for that enclosure recently
Love the concept even if it's a hassle lol The Oroburus trying to mate with himself has now a special place in my heart ❤️ Love the future tadpoles already!
As someone who works at a pet store with live animals, there are Always some shenanigans going on, this series really soothes my soul to see ya’ll going thru similar situations lmao
@[ Toaster Strudel ] Thank you for reminding people of this. Too many people are ready to throw ya under the bus without even knowing the full story. 🧸👑
This is amazing content - obviously really funny, but also a really unique way to gain day to day insights about the zoo and everyone who works there! Love this series - could also translate beautifully to TH-cam shorts and TikTok if you wanted to!
I used to think the same, but now I often enjoy TH-cam Shorts when I have few spare minutes. Add well as some of the channels I normally watch I've found a few new ones. Shorts is a good way for channel owners to keep fans interested between posting full length videos.
I cannot stand people who actually encourage other platforms to turn into whatever the hell tiktok is. Because now that's all they're going to focus on, but please go ahead and get advocating for it guys! ♡
Love this! It’s honestly refreshing to see that not everything goes “perfectly”, and that even you have escapees. I have always beat myself up after my Mexican Black Kingsnake got out and I never saw her again.
@Call to arms You don't know the facility and their knowledge of handling them like they do so I don't think you can make the calls here. Especially since these videos and most videos are just highlights. Not the whole entire day of what's going on.
I'm just a random drop in here, but I love that the snakes and the lizards, which aren't super fast and the turtle that's downright slow are so determined to have little adventures and find new hiding places. Love to hear some commentary about what inspires their wanderlust, how they feel in their time away, and why they pick the places they do to settle down again.
This was so funny and a great way to learn more about your employees. I specifically love the intro where the one decided that Doug (or Jupiter. Not sure which one) was the perfect weight to workout with😂
definitely continue this series, i love seeing the behind the scenes of the zoo, and all the mayhem the reptiles cause also hope that monitor bite is okay emily, that looked painful, you're amazing at keeping your cool
That was fascinating. Also, make some bits of wood that slot into the holes in the pallet sides that fit into place tightly so animals don't go under there, and perhaps setup a few "ideal hides" which animals might be preferentially attracted to, might give you an easier time of finding them when they do get lose.
Hi Emily, Ed and SD crew! Would you guys ever be able to do a video on "weird, but benign" reptile behaviours?? If I ever saw my snake trying to mate with itself, I would immediately assume there is something neurologically wrong, and run to the vet. Maybe not a "weird, but benign" vid (as every behaviour relies on context and the animal itself), but possibly a video on some odd behaviours you have seen from your reptiles. Can be either common "odd" behaviours or random ones specific to an individual reptile. I think it would be helpful as A) these actions could be documenting patterns/ behaviours we have yet to learn about in certain species. and B) as a new reptile owner I am constantly overly worried about my pets health and wellbeing and maybe a behaviour new owners may interpret as odd or worrisome could be something that is most likely a harmless quirk! Maybe you could just add them into these vids!
I don't think trying to mate with itself is indicative of a neurological issue (plus, if it was, Emily probably would have said) I think it's just because snakes are pretty stupid. My snake once latched onto a pair of tweezer tongs for 2 hours trying to eat them lol
@@lemolea9571 that's what they're saying - they would've initially panicked over that behaviour however clearly its not a big deal and are there any other things that might seem concerning that actually reptiles do commonly. The hognose twitch is one I can think of, although if you're getting as far as putting two hognoses together and don't know about the twitch then maybe you shouldn't be putting the two hognoses together. But there must be a fair few examples
Love the new series: the snakeanigans. Just seeing some background chaos is always fun. You should also make a map of all of chloe's hiding spots, just for funsies!
I think this is Chloe's way of saying she wants a new place to live lol. Hopefully she gets a more secure enclosure, especially with those mouse traps that were by the pallets. Not sure how tough turtles are but I'm sure a mouse trap still wouldn't feel good lmao.
@@tylerpistachio6927 That's her temporary holding tank while they work on turtle-proofing her enclosure. That video clip was actually taken a long time ago even though they just now put it in this compilation so they may have her enclosure finished by now.
I can’t wait to see more! I love all the shenanigans the reptiles got up to! Also I lost it just a little when Emily said “Jerk” I’m a long time subscriber and have never seen Emily say anything toward the animals, it was quite funny. And a quick Thank you to Ed, Emily and the staff at Snake Discovery for the lovely videos, clips and content for us to enjoy 😊
I do the same thing with my 10 month old. If I didn't, he'd quickly outpace how much I can pick up and sling around. He's already 20 lbs. Add in carseat, diaper bag, and my own purse, and... 😭
My 9-year-old daughter loves these videos and has learned so much. A friend's son was going to college and needed a home for his ball python....thanks to your videos...she is taking amazing care of him (with help).
LOVE THESE!! This is so entertaining but also informational! Everything doesn't always go so smooth and you use these moments as an opportunity to teach us! Thanks and keep these coming!
I LOVE THIS SERIES I have watched this multiple times already and I LOVE how your employees enjoy filming stuff for you guys to share as well! They love and respect your channel as much as we do!!!!
I really enjoyed this. Long before it was illegal to do so, my dad used to rescue wood turtles from the road and bring them home. We'd keep them for a few weeks on an enclosed porch before releasing them. They all had distinct personalities & food preferences - one ate nothing but strawberries, another loved bananas. One liked raw hamburger, one liked blueberries. We hosted one who took to climbing up the screen walls of the porch. They all acclimated to being handled, letting their legs & tail tangle when picked up - they almost seemed to enjoy the view. My dad's long gone now, but I still rescue them from the road when I see them, delivering them to whichever side they seem to be aiming for.
The hognose going in figure eights was so satisfying to watch... even after you revealed the real reason. 😂 But seriously if someone loop gif-ed that, I'd watch it forever!
I think I need more, NOW!!! Seriously though, I really need more of these, this video was amazing, keep up the good work! (I'm talking about the whole team, keep up the good work!)
Love this new series! For biting reptiles, I have always used Listerine mouthwash. It doesn't hurt the animals, but they will let go pretty quick! I use the yellow one. It T's always been very successful for me.
They did recommend either Listerine or vodka for their snake bite video. Emily said they prefer to use vodka because vodka involves fewer chemicals. They tried the vodka on the ackie and it didn’t work.
1000% love this format... not super stoked about ya getting bit.. that looks like its gunna leave a mark Oooof.... Love ya'lls content.. Plz keep going!!!!
This series is perfect!! This is what I loved about the facility updates. There was progress and learning, but the shenanigans are what made those videos come to life on TH-cam. This is so open ended you could just leave it as a blooper/vlog series, you could create running themes or games, or you could choose to incorporate some educational aspects. I promise, we'll eat this stuff up no matter which way you run with it!
Emily's casual, "Oh hi!" when Brayden walked in on her being eaten by a lizard was funnier than it should have been. Meanwhile him trying to catch cricket escapees while Ed continued to pry the lizard off with scissors, and a third person filmed it all was a pretty good summary of what it's probably like to run a zoo lol.

Lmao I don't think it's escaping at this point 😂 more like Chloe's weekly walk
🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTS
Her constitutional
Love the format! Was especially entertained by the dude chasing himself (him doing the endless figure-8 was also weirdly calming to watch).
Emily now has the cutest little extremely painful wound though, and I'm envious of her future tiny dinosaur bite scar.
This is GREAT!!! I love this format.
0:12 idk her name but one of the workers just in the background working out with a snake and Emily’s doesn’t care like I’m dying😭 thanks for 15 likes yall
Hey! Just to be clear that is Kim!
16 actually
Does Chloe maybe need a bigger (possibly covered...) tub? Thanks for the awesome videos! Really enjoyed the Shenanigans!! :)
I thought they mentioned in another video a while back that they were going to give Rex's last tub she had at home to Chloe... maybe it is too big for the office area though?
Was thinking the same, maybe they could just add a dry nook onto her tub where she can hide? She's so brave and adventurous 💕
Or maybe move the board that looks to be a ramp?
Probably haven't had the time. They're crazy busy
Yeah, it was silly at 1st, but obviously Chloe isn't happy in her current enclosure, and it's honestly pretty small for her size; I'd want out, too. I'm really hoping they upgrade her soon, or pay someone to if they're too busy. I absolutely love this channel, but it is kinda sad to see Chloe in such a small enclosure. 😢
I love this video and I desperately hope everyone else does too so we can watch more shenanigans!
I do have a suggestion. Maybe since Chloe loves exploring so much she should get an enclosure and enrichment upgrade? She a looking a little small for that enclosure recently
According to other replies that is quite an old video. She is in a enclosure built for the zoo now.
It was only temporary till the big turtle pond was put together
Ah! That’s good to hear then! I wasn’t aware, honestly.
@@itz_elioftw she's still in the small tub. they confirmed in a different comment.
I love this series. I'd love for it to return! I loved when the tri color tried to breed with itself. Also your comments make it even funnier!
It also shows that nothing is perfect but it works out eventually!
8:53 that casual “oh hi” just killed me I was not expecting that
Love the concept even if it's a hassle lol
The Oroburus trying to mate with himself has now a special place in my heart ❤️
Love the future tadpoles already!
As someone who works at a pet store with live animals, there are Always some shenanigans going on, this series really soothes my soul to see ya’ll going thru similar situations lmao
I love these! The best sort of 'naughty' animals, where none of them actually get hurt and are otherwise taken care of
I love that!
That was funny 😂 but your right about Chloe’s new hiding place
I think Chloe needs a bigger enclosure with a lockable lid, could that be the reason she is always escaping?
This episode was awesome.
I agree
Oh yeah she 100% needs a bigger enclosure. I wish they had a nicer set up for her. I'm sure she'd be much happier and less prone to escaping.
That and maybe a cave and basking spot. I'm only mentioning the cave because the majority of the time they found her Under things.
@[ Toaster Strudel ] Thank you for reminding people of this. Too many people are ready to throw ya under the bus without even knowing the full story. 🧸👑
@[ Toaster Strudel ] It's been like a year now though, no?
Exactly what I needed to perk up my week, thanks guys 😂😂💕💕
I love these please continue. Also question I've had since Chloe's introduction to the facility......why no barrier if she keeps escaping?
i believe thats older footage with Chloe having her own enclosure now if i'm not mistaken
They commenter on another comment that things are in the works but they haven't announced anything for it yet.
Chole the adventurer. She really gets around for someone so slow.
This is amazing content - obviously really funny, but also a really unique way to gain day to day insights about the zoo and everyone who works there! Love this series - could also translate beautifully to TH-cam shorts and TikTok if you wanted to!
Literally nobody wants youtube shorts or tik tok but okay!
@@lemonpaperplanes that’s..kind of mean
I used to think the same, but now I often enjoy TH-cam Shorts when I have few spare minutes. Add well as some of the channels I normally watch I've found a few new ones. Shorts is a good way for channel owners to keep fans interested between posting full length videos.
One of the employees, the one that filmed rhe snake eating the leaf, has shared several videos through her Tik Tok about the animals in the zoo.
I cannot stand people who actually encourage other platforms to turn into whatever the hell tiktok is. Because now that's all they're going to focus on, but please go ahead and get advocating for it guys! ♡
"That's not food."
Reptiles are two-year-olds, confirmed.
I'd love for there to be more episodes of this. Perhaps a monthly series?
yep exectly!
yes it would be so ffunny
@@lorilintner3011
You unhungry ynh y j
@@garygrimbley aA
Yessssssss
Im so impressed how you managed to stay so calm with a lizard digging into your skin!
The face told me it really, really had to hurt
6:14 “roach roach roach your boat” got me dying
Love this! It’s honestly refreshing to see that not everything goes “perfectly”, and that even you have escapees. I have always beat myself up after my Mexican Black Kingsnake got out and I never saw her again.
Yeah. I believe the same thing happened to them with a milk snake Candy Cane. So it happens to even the best, no need to beat yourself up over it
@@hannahhenderson1113 I didn't know Candy Cane escaped. Aw. That's sad. She was so pretty.
@Call to arms Well thats not the attitude we like to have around here
@Call to arms I'm pretty sure they are 100x more careful with the dangerous ones. Neither Ed nor Emily are stupid or careless.
@Call to arms You don't know the facility and their knowledge of handling them like they do so I don't think you can make the calls here. Especially since these videos and most videos are just highlights. Not the whole entire day of what's going on.
I'm just a random drop in here, but I love that the snakes and the lizards, which aren't super fast and the turtle that's downright slow are so determined to have little adventures and find new hiding places. Love to hear some commentary about what inspires their wanderlust, how they feel in their time away, and why they pick the places they do to settle down again.
This was so fun to watch! Emily is far more calm than I’d ever be with a lizard clamped on my arm
I know
Please keep posting these videos! This is so fun y
This was so funny and a great way to learn more about your employees. I specifically love the intro where the one decided that Doug (or Jupiter. Not sure which one) was the perfect weight to workout with😂
definitely continue this series, i love seeing the behind the scenes of the zoo, and all the mayhem the reptiles cause
also hope that monitor bite is okay emily, that looked painful, you're amazing at keeping your cool
That was fascinating. Also, make some bits of wood that slot into the holes in the pallet sides that fit into place tightly so animals don't go under there, and perhaps setup a few "ideal hides" which animals might be preferentially attracted to, might give you an easier time of finding them when they do get lose.
More!! Watched 1 and 2, can't get enough 😄
Hi Emily, Ed and SD crew! Would you guys ever be able to do a video on "weird, but benign" reptile behaviours?? If I ever saw my snake trying to mate with itself, I would immediately assume there is something neurologically wrong, and run to the vet. Maybe not a "weird, but benign" vid (as every behaviour relies on context and the animal itself), but possibly a video on some odd behaviours you have seen from your reptiles. Can be either common "odd" behaviours or random ones specific to an individual reptile. I think it would be helpful as A) these actions could be documenting patterns/ behaviours we have yet to learn about in certain species. and B) as a new reptile owner I am constantly overly worried about my pets health and wellbeing and maybe a behaviour new owners may interpret as odd or worrisome could be something that is most likely a harmless quirk! Maybe you could just add them into these vids!
I don't think trying to mate with itself is indicative of a neurological issue (plus, if it was, Emily probably would have said) I think it's just because snakes are pretty stupid. My snake once latched onto a pair of tweezer tongs for 2 hours trying to eat them lol
@@lemolea9571 that's what they're saying - they would've initially panicked over that behaviour however clearly its not a big deal and are there any other things that might seem concerning that actually reptiles do commonly. The hognose twitch is one I can think of, although if you're getting as far as putting two hognoses together and don't know about the twitch then maybe you shouldn't be putting the two hognoses together. But there must be a fair few examples
I loved this! The part that actually get me laughing out loud was when Emily said, " Oh your a jerk." 😂
I love this! more casual content, it's always fun to see animals being animals!! also gives us an idea of your daily zoo life
Love Shenanigans!! Please keep them coming!
Love the new series: the snakeanigans. Just seeing some background chaos is always fun.
You should also make a map of all of chloe's hiding spots, just for funsies!
and have a counter for how many times shes been found in the same spot 😂
@@rosatopia5256 yes that’d be great
I think this is Chloe's way of saying she wants a new place to live lol. Hopefully she gets a more secure enclosure, especially with those mouse traps that were by the pallets. Not sure how tough turtles are but I'm sure a mouse trap still wouldn't feel good lmao.
Yeah that enclosure is shameful honestly. didnt expect that from this channel
@@tylerpistachio6927 I think they said they planned on moving her into Rex's old pool? But it's been a while, hopefully it happens soon.
I was thinking the same along with, does she escape during open hours and is _that_ even safe?
@@tylerpistachio6927 That's her temporary holding tank while they work on turtle-proofing her enclosure. That video clip was actually taken a long time ago even though they just now put it in this compilation so they may have her enclosure finished by now.
@@Britttanyy She has an enclosure but that's her holding tank it's perfectly safe
I can’t wait to see more! I love all the shenanigans the reptiles got up to! Also I lost it just a little when Emily said “Jerk” I’m a long time subscriber and have never seen Emily say anything toward the animals, it was quite funny. And a quick Thank you to Ed, Emily and the staff at Snake Discovery for the lovely videos, clips and content for us to enjoy 😊
Emily is adorable. Her calm and class under the worst circumstances... just one of the most charasmatic youtubers. Great show you guys put on.
7:28 so glad to see this is an universal experience for anyone who interacts with animals regularly.
I can't tell you how many times I have had to pull non food objects out of the mouths of my reptiles
i cant tell you how many times i have had the "that is not food" conversation with animals and children
what about Lunar?
6:12 did not expect it to get funnier till the "roach roach roach your boat" came in 🤣 that is a good one🤣
Who knew I wasn't the only one using my snakes as free weights. Awesome.
Not many people are talking about the girl using the snake as a weight and thank god I found one I just didnt want to be alone with it
I do the same thing with my 10 month old. If I didn't, he'd quickly outpace how much I can pick up and sling around.
He's already 20 lbs. Add in carseat, diaper bag, and my own purse, and... 😭
This was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these!!!
My 9-year-old daughter loves these videos and has learned so much. A friend's son was going to college and needed a home for his ball python....thanks to your videos...she is taking amazing care of him (with help).
LOVE THESE!! This is so entertaining but also informational! Everything doesn't always go so smooth and you use these moments as an opportunity to teach us! Thanks and keep these coming!
I LOVE THIS SERIES I have watched this multiple times already and I LOVE how your employees enjoy filming stuff for you guys to share as well! They love and respect your channel as much as we do!!!!
Good to know that I am not the only one coming back for the laughs🥰
1:00 hooray Ed’s idea actually worked
＼(￣▽￣)／
WE NEED SOME MORE OF AVA!!!
Legend has it, Kallie still has frog eggs on her fingers.
Edit: wow so many likes thank you
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dund dund duhhhhhhhhhhhh
😅 has
😅 ha hahaha 😆
We need more AVA!
I really enjoyed this. Long before it was illegal to do so, my dad used to rescue wood turtles from the road and bring them home. We'd keep them for a few weeks on an enclosed porch before releasing them. They all had distinct personalities & food preferences - one ate nothing but strawberries, another loved bananas. One liked raw hamburger, one liked blueberries. We hosted one who took to climbing up the screen walls of the porch. They all acclimated to being handled, letting their legs & tail tangle when picked up - they almost seemed to enjoy the view. My dad's long gone now, but I still rescue them from the road when I see them, delivering them to whichever side they seem to be aiming for.
Emily’s love for these animals is so infectious! She comes across as a really fun person. I bet Snake Discovery is an amazing place to visit.
My favorite line from snake discovery “ do dot we’re going back home”
😂😂
The hognose going in figure eights was so satisfying to watch... even after you revealed the real reason. 😂 But seriously if someone loop gif-ed that, I'd watch it forever!
I think I need more, NOW!!!
Seriously though, I really need more of these, this video was amazing, keep up the good work! (I'm talking about the whole team, keep up the good work!)
Love this new series! For biting reptiles, I have always used Listerine mouthwash. It doesn't hurt the animals, but they will let go pretty quick! I use the yellow one. It T's always been very successful for me.
They did recommend either Listerine or vodka for their snake bite video. Emily said they prefer to use vodka because vodka involves fewer chemicals. They tried the vodka on the ackie and it didn’t work.
1000% love this format... not super stoked about ya getting bit.. that looks like its gunna leave a mark Oooof.... Love ya'lls content.. Plz keep going!!!!
This series is perfect!! This is what I loved about the facility updates. There was progress and learning, but the shenanigans are what made those videos come to life on TH-cam. This is so open ended you could just leave it as a blooper/vlog series, you could create running themes or games, or you could choose to incorporate some educational aspects. I promise, we'll eat this stuff up no matter which way you run with it!
Props to Emily for educating us while being bitten by an Ackie
adorable series! name you new ball "Julius Squeezer"! good luck with the facility!
@Trinity Trottier 🤣 Omgosh "Julius Squeezer", so clever & goofy. I literally LOL'ed 💕
COOL name
I love how excited Emily gets when opening and holding and playing with the babies...I love all these babies...so stinking cute..😊😊😊😊😊😊
