    We visited The Snake Discovery Center on Sunday 10/10/21. Everything looked amazing. We surprised our 14-year-old son Corbin for his birthday and brought him here. The kids enjoyed the experience and couldn't wait to tell their friends at school all about it. We drove 3 hours just to come and check it out! I have shared pictures with my preschool students and they were really interested and excited to learn more! I have a feeling you will get many more visitors from Northern Minnesota!

I figured you could place him with a responsible owner or help him, either way! I also sent info through Instagram! Hopefully we find a better situation for him, since he was defanged and abandoned in a dumpster.

      If not Emily maybe Kevin @ NERD will take him, he's his own veterinarian, and has TONS of experience with abused reptiles. He has a King Cobra that he rescued that had its venom glands removed and he brought him back from the brink of death

      You could also reach out to Chandler's wildlife or the folks over at NERD or heck even viper keeper as they all handle hot snakes on a regular basis.

    You asking your dad if he’s having fun and thanking him for helping and him saying “Absolutely honey!” was so sweet! I’m sure that both your parents are so proud of you for doing something you’re so passionate about and achieving such an awesome dream. I’m also so so so happy for you guys! Glad you had such a good opening, and I wish you nothing but the best for the zoo!!

    Congratulations from Arkansas! As someone who has been watching your videos since before you even bought the building, I have continued to be inspired by what you have done for outreach, animal husbandry, and being a public face for the creatures that too many people consider to be "creepy crawlies". I wish I could put into words just how much joy I feel, seeing you thrive over the years. Thank you for making that joy accessable to so many! Definitely looking forward to your future adventures, and can't wait to get up there and see the zoo for myself one day.

Life had other plans, but I get to live vicariously through your adventures! I love what you and your team are doing. I even befriended a jumping spider last year to save it from the cold winter thanks to your tutorial. Congratulations on this mega accomplishment with your zoo, your excitement, and your dedication to the animals and education! 💕
