Deposit the checks and put it toward the rescue funds. People want to help and they know you REALLY REALLY HELP. Let them help through you guys. We all cannot be animal rescuers but we can help. 😊
Recommendation for the checks/cash from an MBA student. I’m not sure how you have “adoption island” set up business wise but you could possibly look into making it a 501c3 non profit & deposit them as the donations fans intend them to be. You could have a website for donations, which may help negate receiving them via mail. Take the LLC & the 501c3 and umbrella them underneath an S.Corp- for taxes and what not.
Yeah. Also, the reporting requirements for a 501c3 that makes less than 50k are very minimal. Setting it up isn't too hard, as long as you have a charitable purpose, which an animal adoption program certainly is. Could also help lower adoption fees, though theirs aren't that high in the first place iirc.
Ed and Emily, thank you so much for being aware of and protecting children by not showing their faces in photos etc… people don’t understand how dangerous it can be and it’s awesome to see people in a position to influence showing wisdom and leadership in child protection! Thank you!
You should cash checks that are sent to Snake Discovery. They want you to have it. You can always consider it a donation to a good cause, both animal rescue and education. Besides if you don't cash them more people will just send cash. You guys are awesome, I haven't missed an episode since I subscribed. Besides for a lot of people this is a way to feel more involved with the Awesomeness that is Snake Discovery.
11:21 I understand your sentiments about checks Emily, but if they are putting the effort in to send you one, use it for the rescue! Unless it says for a specific animal. ❤
I would say deposit or cash the checks if people are writing the checks to you then they’re likely waiting for them to be processed I work at a bank we see it all the time where a check sits in limbo for an age and the person who wrote the check is anxious or worried that it didn’t arrive one of the things we see a lot is checks getting lost in the mail or intercepted and it can cause someone to have to close down their accounts if they think the check didn’t arrive at its intended location.
Yeah I thought about account limbo too. I’m pretty sure a person can have their bank cancel an uncashed check, or it should automatically become void after 180 days. But yeah, without knowing that Emily has it and didn’t cash it on purpose, there could be anxiety thinking it was lost. Or by trying to keep an account balanced in case the check clears at a much later date than expected I would say they should cash it for the animals. It’s not like Emily (or Ed) solicits donations, so anyone who sends money must truly want Snake Discovery to have it
I would say deposit the checks and use them towards the rescue or towards vet funds or zoo upgrades. Fans, especially the young ones, probably feel very proud and/or meaningful about their donations, and I’m sure they are happy knowing that they have contributed to your zoo and rescue efforts! 💙
What you do is very important. You guys are a HUGE part of the welfare of reptiles and crawlies all over the world. When people send checks, it's because they want to help. Let them help. Us normals can't do much, but we can help you help the herps, and that matters. It seems like not depositing the checks is actually kind of rude, because these people are offering help, it's obviously important to them.
Deposit the checks and use the money toward the rescues. If someone blesses you with the money they are doing it from their heart. You guys are loved and respected.
Love the time with your feathered friends. Cheyenne kind of seems like she enjoys opening fan mail 😂. I just can’t get over how much I love seeing Ed and Emily do these videos ❤. Absolutely recommend to cash the checks and use the funds for your rescue. People give to you because they WANT to help and appreciate what you do
Like others have said, deposit the checks in an account for the animal's vet care or the adoption island animals. They want to help you help animals and whatever they send, is from the heart. You could add their names to a wall of appreciation.
The box that leaked was mine! Haha that little jar was a resin jar I made! It apparently melted or wasn’t cured all the way 😂there was resin feathers inside the jar. 😊
So Emily a fun little trick for the clicker pens. Super glue all of them open. I had a coworker that clicked alllll the time so we super glued them so she could use them. Next question, how the heck do you house train a macaw!!?!
No one has watched the whole video yet since it just came out. I just wanted to say i LOVE the old school fan mail! I miss watching the old school snake discovery. I still love the newer ways of videos as well but like this just seems more fun to watch!
Ed and Emily, thank you so much for doing all of your videos. I started watching during Covid when I was off work for a while and it got me through Covid and your videos are so much fun to watch and I’m still watching them. Thanks so much.
I'm so excited about Emily and Ed getting Tunnock's Teacakes! I love sending them to my US friends with a box of Yorkshire Tea. It's the most British experience I can send by mail 😆
Omg the fact that in the cards you opened, the special one was a snake themed legendary that can also turn into a turtle. That’s crazy to me. What odds
I think you should deposit the cheques you have and use it to help adoption island and vet fees. Some people cant own snakes or have the space to rescue. At least this way they can help reptiles find a new home and better life. ❤
Hi Emily and Ed I love y'all's new Neon Snake Discovery sign. Also Emily you said "Cheyenne is 27 years old now." I am 28 years old and so Cheyenne was born a year after me. That is cool.
I like the fan mail. My fav are the drawings and art from fans. That means so much. Also, loving the foreign packages with goodies from the world. So fun.
These videos are the spirit of why I enjoy watching you guys! Always so grateful and careful to appreciate every little thing people send. You guys deserve every success you get in life, I know that for sure .
And I say this to say deposit the checks! People wouldn’t send it if they didn’t want to invest in your channel and videos, projects. Think of it as ungrateful not to- ;)
I think that the checks should be cashed and put towards adoption island. People believe in the work you’re doing and show it financially. Some people aren’t comfortable with patreon but comfortable sending checks.
Take the checks and put it towards the animals. People took the time to make sure they had enough to share. A gift is a gift. Not accepting a gift is kinda rude. Loving how Ed is snaking all the treats this time. And props to the people who all sent Ed all those clicks pens! Oh my goodness... the adorable rollypolly stuffed toy!
Personally, I would say treat cheques as a charitable donation towards the rescue program. People want to donate to a good cause and send money for the animals and do so with the intention that you accept it. I know you feel bad accepting donations but if you flip it and look at it from the perspective of people wanting to help care for unfortunate animals, turning down their support becomes the negative
Whenever my OH laughs at me for dropping biscuit crumbs all down myself, my response is always "I'm just carefully setting aside a little bit for the animals, so they can enjoy it too, because *I* love them very much"
I think you should deposit the check into the fund that takes care of animals that were given to you because the owners couldn’t take care of them anymore.
If people are sending you checks they are willingly trying to help out the animals. There is nothing wrong with accepting help. Some people, like myself, show live by giving.
EMILY!!! I love Dragons and my favorite series ever is the Inheritance Series! Paolini was I believe, 13 yrs old when he started writing Eragon. That bookmark is killer. You need healthier food girl. One should not live by chocolate, coffee and ramen, uh…alone. Love y’all. (Ed seriously has the most contagious laugh! 🤫)
I agree with other commenters, cash the checks and use them towards adoption island and other animals in your care! I just adopted Ludo from the Adoptathon stream on Sunday and we all appreciate the things you do for the animals you rescue. Sometimes people can’t adopt the animals but they still want to contribute!
I'm the one that sent the hognose from the Twisted Serpent (the owner is a fan too though). It's a pot pal! It sits on the edge of a plant pot. I use mine on my bookshelf though
Watching this video made me hungry! Loved seeing Cheyenne and Chaka. I'd love to see more videos on raising a baby macaw. Also - deposit the checks. I get the sentiment, but people do it because they believe in your mission.
omg those beef noodles are my FAVOURITE but they're so hard to find here :') And yes those snacks where from the UK!! Terrys chocolate orange is a huge staple here lol
I love the constant raas of 2 girls! Poor Cheyenne having to teach Chaka the way of fan mail opening, and also you must take the human snacks when you get the chance 🤣 Although maybe Cheyanne won't have to hide in the boxes as much
Money is just a piece of paper that says, "I see value for this thing." Sending money allows fans to be part of an animal's journey. Maybe they can't have reptiles and live vicariously through you. Maybe they would love to rescue animals but don't have the space/time/energy. Fans can't provide cages, medical care, food and staff to care for animals but they can provide the money to support those things. Part of giving is receiving and you have given so much to us, allow us to give back to you. It is generous to receive as much as it is to give.
Doritos (Frito-Lay) licence out their name to other companies in different countries. So they will usually be made by a top snack producer in each country and the flavours will be changed to align more with the tastes of each country. In my country - New Zealand they are made by Bluebird and are similar to the US but I noticed the difference after eating US ones for a while then going back to NZ - ours are not as packed with flavour. In South Korea they are made by Lotte and are slightly sweet and I couldn't get used to those at all. In Asian counties you can often find US ones that will say "imported' on the bag so you know they are the good ones lol.
Snake discovery, with the checks, you could put it towards medical/rescue expenses for the animals. we love this channel because of the family of humans, birds, reptile, and other various critters :) and we love to help out in any way we can!
Deposit the checks and put it toward the rescue funds. People want to help and they know you REALLY REALLY HELP. Let them help through you guys. We all cannot be animal rescuers but we can help. 😊
I was gonna say put it towards rescue/vet bills!
I agree with that a lot because I’m sure the people who send the checks want the checks to be deposited and put towards rescues or adoption island
Or donate to arc
Exactly! They rescue up to 12 animals a day!! Deposit the gifts given from people’s ❤s.
Set up a charity fund so people can donate directly to the rescue. And you can then donate to other animal welfare programs
Recommendation for the checks/cash from an MBA student. I’m not sure how you have “adoption island” set up business wise but you could possibly look into making it a 501c3 non profit & deposit them as the donations fans intend them to be. You could have a website for donations, which may help negate receiving them via mail. Take the LLC & the 501c3 and umbrella them underneath an S.Corp- for taxes and what not.
Smart idea 🤓👍
It's so good of you to share your expertise, this is such a loving community!
Yeah. Also, the reporting requirements for a 501c3 that makes less than 50k are very minimal. Setting it up isn't too hard, as long as you have a charitable purpose, which an animal adoption program certainly is. Could also help lower adoption fees, though theirs aren't that high in the first place iirc.

I about died laughing when the robo-snake went straight for the space under the fridge. It's the most realistic part of that toy 🤣
You should cash checks that are sent to Snake Discovery. They want you to have it. You can always consider it a donation to a good cause, both animal rescue and education.

THIS!
Yes they should. They can △⃒⃘lways add it to the adoption island fund to help support feeding and housing the homeless reptiles.
11:21 I understand your sentiments about checks Emily, but if they are putting the effort in to send you one, use it for the rescue! Unless it says for a specific animal. ❤
For the checks, open a savings account for the rescue animals or vet bills. Also, I agree Michigan is the best state 😊
Yay Michigan! :D
I would say deposit or cash the checks if people are writing the checks to you then they’re likely waiting for them to be processed I work at a bank we see it all the time where a check sits in limbo for an age and the person who wrote the check is anxious or worried that it didn’t arrive one of the things we see a lot is checks getting lost in the mail or intercepted and it can cause someone to have to close down their accounts if they think the check didn’t arrive at its intended location.

HAHAHA REALLLL
Hi from Canada 👋 your videos made me get over my fear of snakes! Moved into a wooded area this year and herped my first red garter snake 😊
Aw, this is so cool. Congrats stranger ❤
I’m the one who sent the robot snake! I’m so glad the long box I sent it in was also very useful for other things. 😊
That neon Snake Discovery sign is completely freaking awesome!!!! 🐍 🖤 🐍 🖤 🐍 That bookmark was SWEET!!! Keep checks for USARK!!!
Love the time with your feathered friends. Cheyenne kind of seems like she enjoys opening fan mail 😂. I just can’t get over how much I love seeing Ed and Emily do these videos ❤. Absolutely recommend to cash the checks and use the funds for your rescue. People give to you because they WANT to help and appreciate what you do
Baby parrot head bobs are so cute!!
Ed watching should i open it or should I keep it sealed is SO relatable. Digglet thumbs has my heart too

OMG I LOVE THE NEW BIRB
Best of luck to y’all!!!❤
So Emily a fun little trick for the clicker pens. Super glue all of them open. I had a coworker that clicked alllll the time so we super glued them so she could use them.

Ed and Emily, thank you so much for doing all of your videos. I started watching during Covid when I was off work for a while and it got me through Covid and your videos are so much fun to watch and I’m still watching them. Thanks so much.
I adopted Sonic the pastel enchi! He’s so pretty! I love your vids as well
Chaka is a fitting name. He too had no brain cells. Will Ferrell's land of the lost was hilarious😂
That's exactly who she's named after 🤣
Terry's chocolate orange is amazing. I bought them all the time here in Canada, but I get the one with toffee bits.
Even though I’ve been impatient for the bull snakes, I love fan mail openings!
I'm so excited about Emily and Ed getting Tunnock's Teacakes! I love sending them to my US friends with a box of Yorkshire Tea. It's the most British experience I can send by mail 😆
The picnic with Ally is one of my fav videos too! We need more videos with Ally😻
Ed needs to stop trying to convince Emily to try the spicy foods, or else she will acquire the taste for spicy and steal all his snacks.
wow Emily nailed the pronunciation of Linnea, people usually butcher it
I love you guys so much you guys just brighten my day. Thank you for all you do.❤
My snake discovery calendar came yesterday 🎉
Omg the fact that in the cards you opened, the special one was a snake themed legendary that can also turn into a turtle. That’s crazy to me. What odds
Before this video, I didn’t realize you could give some parrots bits of certain human foods as a treat almost like a dog!
I think you should deposit the cheques you have and use it to help adoption island and vet fees. Some people cant own snakes or have the space to rescue. At least this way they can help reptiles find a new home and better life. ❤
Hi Emily and Ed I love y'all's new Neon Snake Discovery sign. Also Emily you said "Cheyenne is 27 years old now." I am 28 years old and so Cheyenne was born a year after me. That is cool.
“I just gave you some beads you know what that means😏”😂 that cracked me up
They need a Buckee’s sponsorship at this point.
I love how appreciative you both are to your fans!! Love you channel !!!
I just realized, I have not stopped smiling this entire video. I enjoy your senses of humor. Thanks for posting.
Ed and his clicky pens...😂😂😂
The Doritos my grandma gets when she comes back from Mexico is what I live for
I like the fan mail. My fav are the drawings and art from fans. That means so much. Also, loving the foreign packages with goodies from the world. So fun.
Hutton is an amazing artist!!! I am totally amazed at how good the drawing is. Wow!!!!
Love love love Twisted Serpent pot pals… I don’t have plants but I have them draped around my house and office!
All the mail from Canada shows how behind in the mail they are lol the postal service in the entire country is on strike currently
I love Twisted Serpent!! They are also perfect to style in your plants-so you have a cute lil snoot peeking out from the foliage 🐍💚
These videos are the spirit of why I enjoy watching you guys! Always so grateful and careful to appreciate every little thing people send. You guys deserve every success you get in life, I know that for sure .
And I say this to say deposit the checks! People wouldn’t send it if they didn’t want to invest in your channel and videos, projects. Think of it as ungrateful not to- ;)
will Cheyenne teach Chakka to feather-pluck? I mean, will Chakka see an older bird feather-pluck and start doing it?
I think that the checks should be cashed and put towards adoption island. People believe in the work you’re doing and show it financially. Some people aren’t comfortable with patreon but comfortable sending checks.
I love Shaka’s obliviousness to everything!
🤣
1:49 “noooo” 😂😂😂😂😂
I love seeing Chocca and Sheyenne together
Old school fan mail nice.
24:34 Wow that is so perfect that you pulled an Enamorus card. It’s a feminine legendary that has a snake like tail that goes around her neck.
And her therian forme is a softshell turtle!
@@blrdnamesThat too.
I feel like there's a lot of neurodivergent love behind the oodles of clicky pens for Ed. Reptile-loving fidgeters represent!!
Take the checks and put it towards the animals. People took the time to make sure they had enough to share. A gift is a gift. Not accepting a gift is kinda rude. Loving how Ed is snaking all the treats this time. And props to the people who all sent Ed all those clicks pens! Oh my goodness... the adorable rollypolly stuffed toy!
Martha Wells is a great author; I've read the Murderbot Diaries series and enjoyed them thoroughly!
Murtagh is a great book. Fellow inheritance enjoyer I see.
Hi I love your channel your the reason I keep reptiles now!!
when i saw the tea cakes i was pretty worried thinking you would bite into a tea leaf coin or smth. good thing it was an actual snack
Cheyenne climbing the stairs is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I love the fan mail videos!!! You never what is going to happen and the shenanigans slay!!!
I love reptiles. One of my favourite reptiles of yours is eclipses the hog nose I love hog nose they are so cute.
I love the birds 😍
Personally, I would say treat cheques as a charitable donation towards the rescue program. People want to donate to a good cause and send money for the animals and do so with the intention that you accept it.

11:42 yo that art is so pretty where can I get that
4:00 fun fact 😅😅😅
The hanging snake looks like some that i have been eyeballing that pot buddies for plants
I love being the mom that got the reptile for myself and my son enjoys our ball python through osmosis ❤
I love snake discovery so much I've been watching them for like 8 years now! You guys always make my day better!!!😊❤
My mom knows a place to get those mini chocolate oranges and I love them to bits
Let the people help. Don't feel guilty. They trust you.
If people are sending you checks they are willingly trying to help out the animals. There is nothing wrong with accepting help. Some people, like myself, show live by giving.

If you don't deposit the check you screw up their accounting and rob them of the opportunity to give to a cause they believe in. Deposit them
I love the constant raas of 2 girls! Poor Cheyenne having to teach Chaka the way of fan mail opening, and also you must take the human snacks when you get the chance 🤣
Although maybe Cheyanne won't have to hide in the boxes as much
For some reason Cheyenne walking up the stairs to bed is hilarious to me
22 min ❤ love you guys you guys are my fav TH-camrs,have a awesome thanksgiving🥔🍷🍾

Honor the spirit of giving and deposit the checks. People want to help but can't always do it except by giving money.
I have the same exact Buc Ees tie dye shirt and it's so soft!
That's a cool sign, guys !! Goodnight Chaka !!
