For everyone who's wondering, Nick got his shirt from Hyena-agenda.com ;)
I feel you Sausage. I got cornsnake hips too
Same
And i got them fat rolls
I has fat rolls too
How did you change the topic from snakes to your hips?
cornsnake hips u got me
“they don’t really have a neck” the whole animal is a neck
Yes a snake is just a long neck. They were discovered by someone accidentally mutating a turtle and discover they could take the neck and breed it to make snakes😂😂😂
Longboi
Or a long tail
Lel
Lol so true
Can we take a moment to appreciate the glorious name that is Fatness Everdeen?
*YES* owo
Or sausage :3
but yes
🤟
We call my cat that except we say fatniss neverclean instead
lol i love hunger games
"This is the fattest snake I've seen"
Me: "that snakes not too fat?"
"Hes a corn snake"
Me: "HOLY CRAP HES HUGE"
My mouth literally fell open

Sausage is an "OH LAWD SHE COMIN'!"
Heckin chonker
Let’s take time to appreciate the name
Yup. He's pretty high on the chonk scale
About the same as one of my cats (he's supposed to be 8 pounds and he's about thirty) (we got him that way)

"She's derpy though"
Me: THE MORE THE DERPY THE BETTER
Seeing Nearly Headless Nick and Fatness Everdeen kind of made me sad, but I love rewatching these older videos in quarentine. Love y'all
blelelele
I still do the same in 2021
Did fatness die as well? I didn’t know that
@@breewood2730 yea, I think she died a little while ago

Great educational video nonetheless!

RIP Poor nearly headless nick you will live in our heart always 🐍
Miss his little bleleles.
This helped me see that my corn is slightly overweight lol. TIME TO DIET
My pueblan apricot milkshake is maybe a 6. The beginning of cleavage. Maybe I'll cut her back a little
@Lucien Salinas they wind up having too mounds on each side of the spi e running down the length
@Lucien Salinas just feed once a week an appropriate sized mouse
at and you should not have a problem
@Lucien Salinas corn snakes live somewhere between 10 and 20. More towards 20. I like getting them as babies just to go through all the phases. But I did adopt an adult female milkshake that was already 5yrs old. She has been a great snake over the past 8 years.
@Lucien Salinas if you have the time and energy to spend with it yes. It's rewarding. If you want to adopt someone's really relaxed adult snake that is in good health and tame then there are plenty of rescues on Craigslist etc.
Wow that corn... it's a literal sausage.
@@ashfreywar9862 .... oo
Was fun doing this video with you! Sausage says the camera added 10 grams so she's even skinnier 😂
Called it! Btw, love ur shirt!
Waco Dublin haha Sausage is the best. She looked salty at you guys fat shaming her
Hyena agenda shirt = furry and furry = subscribe. I subscribe now.
Waco Dublin
I can’t understand what your trying to say
Waco Dublin true!
this video helped me a lot! i took in a 4 year old corn snake yesterday, and her previous owner gave me a large tank with just a hide and water dish, and told me they'd been feeding her 3 mice every 7 days. i am a first time snake owner now, but i have done my research and im almost postive 3 mice every 7 days is excessive and she probably doesnt get much exercise roaming around her hide with nothing to climb on. She is built like jimmy at the end, like a big ol sausage link. she was due for a feeding and my dad (who has had experience with snakes) and i decided to cut her down to one mouse. she was shy and didnt want to eat for us, but i left it on a rock in her enclosure by her and left the room for about 10 minutes and in that time she ate. if she was on 3 mice a week, she obviously didnt mind only getting one last night. I am going to purchase better enrichment for her enclosure so she can climb around more and definately cut back on her feeding.
Nice! Sounds like you're going to give that snake a good, healthy home.
I know it's a year later, but I was wondering how your snake was doing? That's so sad that she was not taken care of so well, but so good that she found a better owner that did their research
There isn't much in the middle of the Venn diagram when comparing myself to my snake, but not refusing meals is definitely in there.
So my fiance and I got a cornsnake and she was underweight
We feed her every 5 days now, and we let her swim because she was super week and couldn't move around alot on her own. Now she explores her tank and climbs EVERYTHING and it becoming more responsive to us talking to her
She was a 1 when we got her a month ago, now shes a 2 on the border of a 3
I love reading things like that! Good luck to you guys 🙂
Mon - Pon aw, good on you guys for rescuing the snake, poor lil thing. Big hugs from Australia 🇦🇺
Aw good job and good luck to you and your snake!
Hope she is a 5 now.
snakes dont have ears mate
I rescued a veeery large Boa that had serious neck rolls lol. She is a beast and we are working on loosing weight. She was eating a jumbo rat every 5-7 days! So i have cut her back to every 6 week feeding and I take her out to make her move and get some exercise! Gotta get a kiddie pool and try that hydro therapy!
I just ordered two African House snakes from LLLreptile. One was ok shape wise but the other one has those folds on both side of the lower half of its body! And wouldnt eat on it own. So I am assist feeding that one with the the tail pieces of larger rats. Praying for a happy recovery!
So you just feed every 6 weeks? May have read that wrong but I dont know much about boas anyway I keep pythons. Is that healthy to wait that long? Well I guess if hes already a fatso it would make sense to feed less
@@taproductions4377 no big rats every 6 weeks everyone makes mistakes
TMA BrEeZe you don’t make sense
@@blahblah8037 big rats take longer to digest. So six weeks is fine to wait longer.
S C I understand that. I was telling the other person that they do not make any sense.
For one the lack of proper punctuation leaves me confused as to what they were trying to convey. Their lack of punctuation makes be doubt their ability to spell. Meaning, do they mean no or know?
Secondly, they responded to taproductions answering something that I can only assume is seeable by only themselves.
There was no mistake made and nothing to be wrong about. Productions asked a question and tma responded making zero sense. Just talking complete nonsense.
Your reply was a much better one for him.
“It’s not fat, it’s cleavage”.
‘Quit calling me fat... and give me a mouse’
Emily you are hilarious as well as amazing and super educational. You teach people so much about snakes and other reptiles, and you make it so much fun to learn! I wish I had a teacher like you for all of my subjects because you literally make me wanna learn everything I can just for fun. Thank you for this channel and all that you do!
My snake: Did you just call me fat?! I'm just party sized
2:15 I thought her head was right side up like that and thought “Dang she IS derpy” 😂
Anyone else just anyone else just immediately think of Rhett and Link When she said let’s talk about that when she said let's talk about that And it Immediately cut
YESSS DO DO DO-DO-DOOOOOOO
“Nearly headless nick!”
:(
rest in piece buddy :(
A mouse for him

I don't even have snakes, but your videos always very interesting that I end up watching everything anyway
Glad to know that cornsnakes can get "hips", lol. I think my girl is around a 4, at the moment.
Thank you, Emily! I was wondering how often to feed my ball python I'm getting soon. All the websites I looked up ranged from once every 11 days to once every 4 days. I was so confused by it so I looked on your channel, and sure enough, it was there. You always have the most helpful and reliable source of advice for a pet snake!
I really love that you just use this channel for educational purposes & you never really get involved with any of the drama of the reptile community. I know you have opinions, everybody does, I just think you’re more professional by keeping this channel educational.
2:24 no joke thought the whole thing was it’s neck 🤨
They're actually mostly.. well... torso, because if you look at a snake skeleton, most of it is ribs and you don't have ribs on your neck
Pearxly u good
Pearxly that's what people say about me
Pearxly lol
Goldenheart ! You don't? Oh shit I'm a snake...
Nearly headless nick is looking so good now! Can't wait to see more of him later. Thanks for the content!

Lmao why is this me?? 😂😂😂
We got another DemoRanch fan up in here!! Woo!! Immediately got the Creepy Cooter reference. Props to you, really made my day there.
Emily: is your snake fat? Let’s talk about that
Me: you rhyming
“I’m not fat, I have a different life choice” 😂
I know that I am very late to the party on this video, but another way to help overweight snakes is to get one of those "velveteen" blankets, just lay them on it, and because of their scales, the blanket acts like a treadmill and they can't get a grip so they just keep slithering in basically one spot. It works great and it's hilarious to watch!
i cant wait till sausage plays zelda. introducing: SAUSAGE LIIIIINNNNNKKK
If I could give this comment several likes I would
That’s perfect omg
Next Halloween costume
Aaaaahhhhh! 🥰 😱
9:09 Dat face tho

Why do I know that song is from
Leni M-B where is that song from
pfudor
Saaame!
I went to petco today and decided to go see the reptiles when I spot the ball pythons that were underweight! I decided to watch this video again and yes they really are underweight. And one of them obviously has stuck shed on its head.
"Let's talk about that" I was waiting for that GMM intro to start playing smh
I love Nick's sense of humor lol Sausage is such a perfect name n_n
And poor Milkshake is on a diet too, though I call it 'snake love handles' instead of cleavage lol
This was helpful information. Thank you

*Good Mythical Morning theme plays*
but honestly imagine Rhett and Link and Snake Discovery together
I think link would die 😂
If they did make a video together i bet its going to be about snakes.
And we know how much link love snakes.
Thought Sausage was a ball python when you first shown her, wow that was a pudgy corn snake lol.
Those editor comments about being fluffy and cultivating mass were great though XD
If I was a snake I would be a snake
Mind. Blown!
Marit Rutjens holy shit
Marit Rutjens woah that's deep
Wait, I thought if you are a snake that means your a mouse. Oh my goodness, my mind has been blown.
Me too!
I've been binge-watching your videos, and while I really like them, I've noticed a disheartening trend of people abandoning their pets. I just don't see how anyone could do that in good conscious. It's good that there are people like you to rescue and rehabilitate them.
Emily always puts me in a good mood. Even when she talks about fat snakes that feel like bacon grease. Love this channel!
I wish I had a snake. I love your vids and your my favorite TH-camr
same I wish I had a snake are Emily is 1 of my favorite youtoub
That’s so rude calling my snake fat he is not fat he is fluffy
Jacob Blew snakes can't grow fluff
Are you sure your snake isn’t a ferret.
I don't know it's very fluffy and scale
Jacob Blew lol
Jacob Blew Is it named Gabriel? Is it a 1, 2 ,3 ,4, or a 5 on the fluffy scale?
"Lets talk about that" good mythical morning
It's so sad that there are so many abandoned animals of any kind. Happy you are getting them into shape.
I’m watching this video as a little review, along with some other sources, because I’ve been thinking about the weight of my snakes a lot recently. I didn’t expect how emotional it would make me when Fatniss and Nick came on-screen unexpectedly. RIP little garters.
I'm a relatively new snake owner. been really nervous about feeding my two babies (ball pythons)- how big of a rat to feed them, how often to feed them, whether or not they're getting enough nutrition or if they're getting too fat- so thank you for going into such detail about how proper weight is supposed to look! They're both eating one rat a week consistently and looking great.
2:13 I was surprised seeing her head upside-down. Then I read the "derpy" comment. xD Hahaha Actually LOLed. But missed opportunity. She's just being "herpy". ;)
“Is your snake fat? Let’s talk about that”
“GOOOOOOOOOD MYTHICAL MORNING”
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Snake discovery: *I S Y O U R S N A K E F A T*
This is extremely helpful, thank you so much! (Also I love the GMM reference I’m the beginning)
My corn is a little underweight as she is our first and we didn't know that she needed a bigger size, we've increased the size for her now and she's doing much better and slowly getting back to a healthy weight ❤
I actually adopted an Okeetee corn snake about 2 years ago now who was just the same as the corn in this video.
When the guy handed her over to me he said "as you can see she's very well looked after"... She was not. She was humongous.
She was eating a large rat weaner twice a week. I gave her snakey hydrotherapy and put her on a strict diet. She almost looks a normal weight now but I think the area just before her tail will always be a bit strange looking.
Her name is Pig :) and she is the sweetest little girl. Surprisingly a really gentle eater too.
That’s a really sad happy and cool story
Nick is a fellow Hyena Agenda fan ;) My corn snake was obese when I got her, but thankfully now we've got her down to a healthy weight. This video is really helpful to actually SEE what the body condition scores for snakes look like, versus a lot of other resources I've found that are just descriptions. Thank you!
9:01 “I’m not fat I’m big boned”
Lmao me 🤣🤣🤣
I know this video is a bit older but I just wanted to say thank you for it. I knew what to look for when it came to obese snakes but never underweight. I grabbed mine right away and noticed some of the things you pointed out for an underweight snake. I’m going to be making her meal days more frequent and possibly be upgrading her meal size in a couple months. Thank you so much for this.
Nick is so awesome for looking after these rescue noodles!
"I'm not fat, I have a different life choice." - So cute! She may be a bit of a huge chunk but she's adorable none the less! I hope she's doing better now with your friend!
Thank you for making this video! I thought our ball python Draco had gotten pretty chunky lately but I didn't realize he was overweight until I watched this. He's about a 6 or 7 so I'll be putting him on a diet and give more swim time from now on. Thanks so much for making such informative snake videos! ❤️
Thank you! My family has been considering getting a snake and this is super helpful! (Also, Pop-Eye is Soo adorable
You make such happy, educational vids - I just love it so much. Learning about how some snakes have been neglected, abused, or malnourished (overweight included, malnourished just means a bad diet) makes me tear up because it's so upsetting. I'm really thankful for the rescue you run and I am so, so happy to help keep it going by being a patron. You guys are absolutely stellar. Much love.
I just got my first reptile today, a corn snake. From the pictures of him online, he looked like a 6 maybe but once I got him, I imminently knew he was a 8. He's 5 yrs old and about 5 feet but I haven't weighed him yet. I was worried about what I could do but I'll be happy to give him hydrotherapy once he's settled in lol
I have a baby ball, that wasn't eating. She's been totally different then my other two. I watched your video with the baby ball that wasn't eating. I done what you said to do, and it work great. Thanks 🤗
I just adopted a huge female ball python today and she is 4 feet long and a real chonker! 😳 This video was very helpful, thank you Emily! 😁❤️🙏
Emily: Is your snake fat?
Also Emily: Let’s talk about that.
was that a gmm reference
Hey emily, just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and keeping this channel. Its literally the best, most informative channel out there and you're the only big reptile channel I know who seems to actually care for the pets and to make sure they have PROPER enclosures with a decent size. I dont trust people who proudly show off their (cruel) rack systems thinking thats proper care. Reptiles are way too often seen as an acessoire instead of a living being. Also its obvious that you really know about the matter and give the correct and honest advice about topics. So yeah just thank you
Yes! I just got a water snake, and I love her to bits. When I was looking up vivarium sizes, care tips, etc. I saw on one website "they make great display snakes" and that made me really mad.
Thanks for this video. Id say my BP is about a 6 maybe even a 7. The whole bread loaf thing really helped, I always thought if I could see his spine at all, he was under weight. Gonna cut him back slightly so he can drop to a normal weight. Awesome video as always. Congrats on 200k
I really respect that GMM intro!😁👍 Also i love your educational and entertaining videos.😊
Thank you so much, I know this video is older but your videos are so informative and helped me a lot with my first pet snake.
I love watching your videos. They’re well thought out & very informative. I especially love the bloopers at the end, LOL! 😁 Keep up the great work! You are an indispensable asset to the reptile community! 🥰🐍
Great job taking on all your rescue animals ❤️
Alyssa words:
Backrolls? ?!!
ErisEvil bahaha
Yaaas I thought the same😂😂😂😂
"Get her Jade!"
ahem. **b A c K r O l L s ?**
Thank you for this. I haven't handled a snake since I was at school decades ago, so this is all new information to me. You presented the info really clearly with lots of good examples. These thin noodles and chubber sausages are lucky to be living with you now.
Indispensable information to learn that 'power feeding' an half the snake's lifespan... Wow! So glad I learned that before I went ahead and tried it for my new ball pythons.
DEMOLITION RANCH! Love Matt haha.
Yay!!! Nick ,missed him ..he's so boss!
Thanks for this. I've got a 2yr old Cali King and after watching your video I now know he's overweight.
Very informative.
LOVING Nick's Hyena Agenda shirt!
Is your snake fat? Let's talk about that.
*_(Plays Good Mythical Morning intro)_*
Who else noticed the cucumber in the right tank at 5:44 ???
Dragongirl2000ArtStudios It's a pickle. It's Pickle Rick. Cue all the Rick and Morty fans screeching!
It's pickle rick
Reeeeeeeeeeeeee
Its pickle Rick XD
Yap it’s rick
Woot hyena agenda! Also this video gave me the confidence that my ball is a nice and healthy weight and I'm doing a good job! Thanks for making these videos, they have taught me so much!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great info.
"I'm cultivating mass" lmao!
Idk why but seeing fat snakes makes me happy, they're so cute but Ik it's not good for them, BUT LOOK AT THOSE ULTIMATE C H O N K S
I LOVE NICKS SHIRT ITS SO CUTE AND ITS LIKE A FURSUIT MAKING SHIRT!!!
I really want a snake and all your videos are helping to educate me on snakes so if I do get a snake I'll be prepared. I just want to say thank you!
I like the teleporting guy behind you haha
If I was a snake I’d be a 9. 😂
Mind blown
Same lmao
i’d be a 2
I definitely realized that i love snakes more than i like people. Every time she said that a snake was abandoned it made me incredibly sad. Not actual tears, but misty eyes.
This is my favorite channel keep doing what you are great job emily :)
