- After our vacation cruise, we stayed in Florida for an extra week to find reptiles in the wild. We were not disappointed! We found so many that we have to break up the video into two parts! And you are NOT going to believe what we found in Part 2!!

The sadness in Ed and Emily after finding the snake in the road just shows how much they love and care about reptiles. They're amazing people!
😢 it makes me sad I love the noodles 😢
@@Alexandra-xd7fr Definitely not a mill. All of the animals are well cared for.
@@Alexandra-xd7fr Reptiles are very different than mammals. Please research more about captive bred reptiles before making such heinous claims. There's a reason Snake Discovery is continuously praised throughout the reptile community.
@@Alexandra-xd7fr And their ball pythons have large enclosures. They have only bred one ball python. Their breeding racks are mostly Hognose snakes, which are much smaller and don't need as many hides since they burrow.
@@Alexandra-xd7fr then get a degree and advocate better husbandry instead of being a negative commenter on TH-cam also site your sources
Ed & Emily……Thank you. I’ve lived in south Florida for all of my 62 years. I have euthanized 3 snakes that were hit by cars, still alive but way beyond help. It’s the hardest, yet easiest decisions I’ve made because I can’t stand to see any animal suffer. I’m so sorry she was gravid. That just makes it so much worse😢
Emily's "NO NO NO! LET ME LOVE YOU!" attitude is the most enthusiastic toddler with a small, fuzzy, creature attitude and I am SO HERE FOR IT!!!
Can u add a time stamp
That poor momma snake🥺 I know it was hard, but at least she didn't need to suffer any longer. You guys are very strong and brave for handling that so well.
All of the other snakes were so amazing! The scarlet snake was my favorite!
The garter snake was my favorite
This is exactly why we NEED reptile advocates like you both! I hope someday relatively soon, I can help educate people in NY about our beautiful friends. ❤
Snake be snaking
He do be snaking tho
Ed your face was showing your raw emotion and I sobbed. Emily you too. Thank you for doing what you do and thank you for keeping if it real xox much love and many hugs x
Just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content you put out so frequently! You helped me through some tough times and I'm very thankful for that!
And have funnnnnnnnn!
Gorgeous snakes. That Florida blue garter was stunning. His pungent donation is unforgettable. Thanks for sharing and caring. 🐍
It made me really anxious to see you guys standing in the middle of the road.
wow what an amazing trip! TWO different lifers!
I absolutely love herping videos, in the south more people think the only good snake is a dead one so I appreciate everything y'all do. You should totally check out north eastern Louisiana if you can.
I never liked snakes when I was younger but after watching this channel for a while, I want my own snake. Snake discovery is very informative and fun at the same time. I enjoy learning from them!
Thank you Ed and Emily for all the work that you do educating the world on snakes. Before I watch your videos I was mildly afraid of snakes and now I am completely enamored and want to do all I can to keep them safe.
Wow! That Florida Blue Garter is GORGEOUS!!! WOW! What a boy ❤
It is super sad to hear about the gravid snake. It's a good thing you found her though to help her move on. What you did saved her from possibly hours of more suffering, still sad but better knowing she's free from the pain now. Sorry you had to do that but sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do. Thank you for being amazing people!
The garter snake is so beautiful. Honestly they should have their own name like the California red-sided garter snakes. Just call them Flordidian blue garter snakes.
Thank you for being compassionate. ❤❤
i'm really glad that i started watching this channel. you have given me and so many others a lot of knowledge and appreciation for reptiles. i was already more chill with snakes, but your videos have made me think if i saw a snake in the wild i would not immediately panic!!
though obviously just watching your videos doesn't make me an expert, i definitely feel more knowledgeable :)
I truly hope our people and state were respectful and nice to you. I love your channel, and I am an avid fan of reptiles! I have nothing except love and respect for all that you both do! ❤❤❤ Please come back to Florida(but do a central FL thing 😁)!!!
Imagine. That water snake led a normal life, until tragically hit. Resulting in hundreds of thousands hearing about her and her story. Never knowing the impact its made. RIP beautiful girl. Thank you for ending her suffering.
Loved how chill the southern toad was!
Rip to that mama snake, thank you for putting her out of her misery 😢
That toad was so chill, I love her
I really enjoy your videos. I especially enjoyed your Florida trips, and the road cruising. That’s the best way to find snakes such as the Scarlet Snake like the one you found, since they primarily live underground. I herped in the Everglades for 45 years, which is why these videos are so enjoyable for me . They bring back such good memories. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
yissss i was waiting for this video!! also i was in naples while y’all were in FL and i was so bummed i didn’t get to come say hi arghhh
Awe sorry guys ... bless you both for being so loving.
the toads in the video made me so happy. As soon as the adult southern toad was shown I was audibly like " :o That's a big gorllll!!! That's a big gorl!!!" Toads are so neat. I love seeing toads.
Thanks Emily and Ed. Pause the video right after the ribbon snake and I just wanted to say that was a first for me too I appreciate everything you do. How neat it must be. Thank you.😊
That florida garter snake is beautiful!! On the note of garter snakes- I always thought the ones around me in NEPA were mostly brownish and/or greenish in color! Which I always thought were very cool! You’re right- the differences between the same species of garter snake in different zones is insaine!
Your enjoyment in finding ANY reptile specias!!!
Thank you for doing the hard but right and kind thing by putting the watersnake out of her misery. As someone who has done the same for a variety of animals, it's a hard thing to stomach but sometimes ending further pain is all we can do. I'm glad you were there to save her an unnecessary painful and cruelly slow passing.
i love all snakes. but garters are definitely my favourites. the blue garter boy was so pretty.
They're so underrated. i wish there was more garter snake love.
Thank you for sharing the good and the bad with us. It's good for ppl to be educated on natural/invasive species, and it's good to be educated on what to do about... Well calling the department of natural resources if need be for an injured animal, and what to do if ending their suffering is necessary.
My 8th grade science teacher brought in a Scarlett king snake once. They are my favorite snake. Quite beautiful!
I've ditched my car to avoid running over a huge rat snake. I'm one of those people who see turtles in the road I stop and place them on the other side where they were trying to go. I'm sorry you had to do what you did for that female. Just know you did what was best. I had a wild caught garter snake for a while growing up. One I caught myself. As an adult I've always wanted a snake just never had the money to do it' properly. Most likely I'll always be a wantbe. Love your video's
Huge hugs to you both. I feel the sadness in you both and although this happened months ago probably since you recorded in advance, know that positive vibes and love are sent out as I watch this. You have taught ME so much, as I watch this with my son (4yr old) and I've always been very afraid of snakes. You've been teaching me otherwise, and this is what I wanted to also teach my son. I don't want my fear to be his fear. So THANK YOU.
I'm sorry you witnessed that, but also glad it was you and you were able to put the snakes to rest.
Everyone loves the baby videos... But for me nothing beats the herping videos!
I agree
That first corn was such a polite lil lady! 😂
Thank you for showing us these Beautiful baby’s, and I’m so sorry you guys had to help a Momma snake out of her misery. I’m thankful you guys were there to assist her ❌⭕️❌⭕️
That little Southern Toad made my day.
Love your TH-cam channel ❤️ You are the best TH-cam channel I watch.
Started to cry as I saw the sadness on Ed’s face over the water moccasin you helped. It would seem best to think of it as helping. No one wants to see something struggling at their death.
i live in south florida and it rains every afternoon here for some reason this summer. if you want to do ANYTHING outside it has to be during the morning
The snake with the eye infection almost made me cry. Reminded me of nearly headless nick. RIP Nearly Headless Nick.
I love how much Ed and Emily love the snakes so bad and you could realy see that they care about teaching people so it wont happen or at least hapen less . you guys are amazing
That was the nicest garter snake I’ve seen in anyones videos the blue goin thru him was stunning when it was musking the tail was flicking it everywhere.oh man from a great moment seein that garter to depressing hearin bout the water😢 upsetty spaghetti oh smile on my face again.😂
Corn 🐍 have my heart! ❤
And putting that 🐍 out of her misery had me teary. It's hard doing so, but necessary so they don't suffer.
The garter flinging around that musk everywhere omg 💀
Great trip! I agree - Thamnophis sirtalis reeally needs to be broken up a bit. Anyone interested in doing a genetics project for their masters to reclassify a species? We garter enthusiasts would love you! Also, the name "common garter" has got to go, considering the huge variation found in sirtalis!
I love this video
Id also like to add! A difference between ribbon snakes and garder snakes, garder snakes have black stripes on their lips while ribbon snakes dont
I didn’t realize that garters varied in color so much by region.
In my area they’re more green. They’re typically more of a drab green that borders on shades of brown or taupe, but some appear to be _very_ green.
Usually they’re shades of olive or army green and they have a yellowish or orange stripe down their spines.
I thought the different colored garters shown on SD and other reptile channels were from captive breeding alone.
I had no idea they were colos that existed widely in the wild.
I just figured a garter snake was a garter snake and the ones here looked the same as the ones on the other side of the country.
Thank you for sending that snake over the rainbow bridge, I hope she and her babies find happiness in snake paradise above the clouds.
As a lover of snakes I absolutely love you both. As a snake widower your videos make me want to go out and find a new friend. thank you for the videos.
You can see the emotion in there eyes when the water snake is brought up they really care about animals.
Captive Corn Snakes
are not diurnal but are crepuscular. Active at dusk and dawn. Mine is never out in the daytime.
I've been waiting for a herping video! Found this video in 2 minutes
RIP watersnake(s)
Welcome to Florida!
9:51 FLORIDA BLUE!!! The same garter species I have and plan to breed!
I have a baby corn snake and it’s the sweetest little snake and I was surprised to learn that apparently they won’t bite alot
I love snakes and keep them. People are cruel to them without bothering to learn about them and how much good they do. Makes me very sad. I try to educate friends, neighbours, and others about snakes. Loved going herping with you.
Corn snakes are so pretty just in their natural state.
Looking forward to part two!
Glad to see you back in my home state!
Here I was, being jealous you can go herping. I live in the UK, so not a lot happening. Then the upsetting bit happened, and now I'm glad we don't get snakes or any other reptiles on the road. I'm so sorry you had to do that, but thank you for helping her😢😢
I actually have a pet corn snake and his name is rambo! And he’s a big boi
This is a day or two early but, congratulations on 3 million subscribers!!! 🎉👏🎈🎂
Heart breaking to hear about mama snake and it was lucky you help to put it out of its misery.
I bicycle to my job and often meet snakes and legless lizards on the way. I always try to drive past them and then move them to the side. even the venomous one. I have only hit one legless lizard and unfortantly it got away before I could stop and check it. The world need more respect for this beautiful animals.
Grew up in SoFlo, I saw many snakes there but the only snake I ever saw once was a pygmy rattle. So teeny and so feisty.
Awesomeness!
A corn snake gave me the first wild snake bite 😂 the researchers with our group laughed cause they never had a wild corn actually bite anyone
New merch idea: upsetty spaghetti with an upset snake on it.
So many cornsnakes. I would catch mine, but she is in the mood to eat everything. But I think she is ready for a 40 gallon and an size increase for food. Now I just need to decide how I'm going to decorate a new 40 gallon and acquire all the pieces. I wonder where I can find enclosure builds to inspire...
My favorite type of SD videos! HORRAY! haha
That Corn snake is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing how it got it's name, I assumed it was due to their eating rodents, and so being seen hanging around grain stores! As for the sad part, you can tell true animal lovers, because they will do the hard thing. It must have been an horrendous thing to see an animal go through, and alleviating the suffering is absolutely the ethical decision. That it took an emotion toll on you both is apparent, and speaks to how compassionate you both are, it's why we love you. I am so sorry that all involved had to go through it, I dread to think how long she would have continued to suffer had you not been the ones to come by. Much love, and deep gratitude
Next time you're in Florida I recommend checking out the Brevard Zoo. I honestly think it's one of the best "little zoos" in the country. Even if you don't make a video still very much worth a visit.
I am getting a lavender corn snake and y'all inspired me to get a snake
Herping! I hope to see more awesome animals in this one!
This hurts. I'm sorry you guys had to go through this just for the channel. You have more guts than I do.
I still remember awhile back I was on my way home from a friends house and I came across this big turtle. I don't remember what kind it was; but I do remember that it was in its shell. Well before I could turn around this truck comes along and slows down and attempted to run over the poor thing. Luckily the truck was going slow enough and the turtles shell was strong enough that instead of the truck going running over it, the turtle ended up shooting out from underneath said truck and slid down the road a few feet. The truck then turned around to try and run over it again; but I was able to get the turtle out of the road before the truck could come back. I put the turtle so far off the road that who ever was driving the truck would have had to walk a good ways to get said turtle. I also made sure the truck left the area before I left.
As for the toads the second one was most likely female. Female toads get chunky and huge. I was kind of hoping though that they would have found a Cane Toad. I have two Cane Toads and they are actually neat toads, although massive in size.
Awe seeing you guys sad about the snake reminded me that recently my boyfriend saw a turtle crossing a really busy highway and we turned around to help him and as we were trying to get to him a truck blew past us not paying attention and just obliterated him, my poor boyfriend was crushed we weren’t fast enough
That poor snake! That must have been so hard to do! Big hugs for you both!
I personally don’t really like snakes but I would never, NEVER hurt a snake intentionally
that snake at the start is very friendly
I'm so sorry for the poor momma snake. I stopped on my way out of my neighborhood recently to help a turtle that was crossing the entry to the neighborhood. I knew the curb would be hard for him so I pulled over, put my hazards on, and helped him across, up and over. Felt good and got to see a grade A cutie.
snake me too movement will be a thing in a few decades you better get to saving hahahaha
Thank you for ending that poor baby's suffering. I like to think I'd do the same, but I'm not sure I could.
you r my fav youtuber
If you ever get a scarlet snake, you should name it Rudolph because of it's big red nose
Love
I live in Gainesville fl, you should go to sweet water wetlands park, wild horses, gators, snakes galore
I love your videos
Hmm, I always thought corn snakes were called corn snakes because they eat mice which are found often in corn fields.
Hi I love your vids and it is my dream to meet you and I will hopefully soon! Keep up the good work!
2:00 bruh my snake literally only comes out at night 😂
Nice queen shirt
I will share, my daughter says "Some people call them creepy crawlies, I call them CUTEY Craawlies!"
Had to do the same thing for a copperhead I saw get hit. Caused her babies to burst out of her alive. All were in bad shape so had to go to one by one and help them the only way I could. I remember crying and saying I’m sorry to each one
That’s really interesting about ribbon snakes! A reptile shop near me has one in an exoterra by the front desk. (In UK)
You guys should you a video about us finding Sweden snakes
I mean you guys should go and look for Sweden snaks in a video
