I never realize how big an enclosure is until Emily is sitting inside of it
Especially since Emily is pretty tall! I used to think she was short because Ed is taller but it turns out they're both pretty tall.
There was a video where they went to see some enclosures where they are made and Emily stood inside one, they said she’s about 6ft tall as she was the same size as the huge enclosure.
An Emily for scale 😂
I mean. For real.
ya, she is pretty tall
I won't lie, the way Emily and Ed play around, it's so damn precious. Reminds me of how I am with my spouse and I always love to see that. You both are great 😊
They are adorable!!!
Of course! You marry the person that's most fun to annoy! 😂
Exactaly😂😂😅😅
So true! 😂
The banter about the ring was absolutely adorable I couldn’t stop smiling 🥹
I just have to say I love how Ed and Emily do not force any animals that don’t want to be in the zoo to stay in the zoo. They are truly amazing people
plus happier animals usually lead to happier viewing experiences, its a win for everyone :) nothing worse than going to the zoo and alllll the animals are just hiding away or frightened.
Only Emily and Ed would just renovate a whole zoo exhibit and even try to painstakingly match its natural environment better than "official" zoos. Y'all are so pure and welcome to the family lil blue man
Ahahaha when Emily said we need a sticky note on this saying it’s not a woma python and Ed’s reply of “this isn’t a woma Python?!” The face he makes is priceless 11:40
Ikr? Ed is so frickin funny 😂
Specially him doing voices for the animals is so funny to me.
And to think he was so camerashy in the beginning 😆
I still really like the name Celski (as a reference to the speed* skater who recovered from a horrid gash that could've cost him his left leg, his career, and maybe even his life, and still ended up getting Olympic Bronze in 2010 despite everything) that someone mentioned from the last video, but knowing Emily's love of "normal" names, I wanted to mention that Celski's full name is John Robert (J.R.) Celski, as well as make another case here for the name! It's too perfect, it's the same leg and everything!
Edit: Adding here that the original comment was left on the video of his recovery and surgery by Haley Houdini!
* Edit 2: He was not a figure skater, my bad!
I really hope they choose this name it’s perfect!
That would be a really cool name for him!
This name is just perfect! I hope they picked your suggestion!
Hehe thanks for rerecommending it! I think it's perfect for this fighter :)
Another vote for J.R. / Celski!! 😍
Loving seeing Ed in more vids!! He adds so much fun to them
Its amazing to see how well he climbs around and scales those walls given the condition his leg was in when he was surrendered. So happy he made such a magnificent recovery and now gets to live a happy life in his new enclosure.
I'm thinking Achilles or Hephaestus (Festus for short) would be a cool name for him. Achilles because of his heel and Hephaestus had a limp so it fits. I'm leaning more on Hephaestus since he was a god and well the blue-tail monitor has a rock for offerings of food and it sounds funny to say "Oh here is your sacrifice, buddy." when you feed it
Commenting to boost this
Achilles is a great name for him!
Hephaestus would be GREAT
achilles was actually an idea/option in the vid where he was surrendered
Achilles and Hephaestus are both great names!
I somehow came up with a good name for him a year later: Terry after Terry Fox, the athlete who lost a leg to a particularly nasty cancer at 18 and spent the last 5 years of his life on a truly massive fundraiser for cancer research. It was a cross-Canada run called Marathon of Hope. Unfortunately his cancer proved fatal. He wasn't able to finish the run, but he is rightfully honoured for the amazing things he accomplished. There's a charity run held every year in his honour, though it's called the Terry Fox Run.
Even though our little guy was able to keep his organic leg, unlike the human Terry Fox, he went through a difficult recovery from a rather tough leg problem too. He's also quite the runner! ❤
8:40 ed manhandling things was so hilarious, like his chaotic reptile dad energy was coming out
That enclosure is enrichment overload! It’s perfect for him!! The whole background is his rock climbing wall and will be great for rehabing his leg. So nice to see his progress from a sad, angry, injured monitor to an active, inquisitive, new member of the Snake Discovery family. 🦎
You two are hilarious, "I'm not married now?" Ed books it out of there. The first time I saw you two I was watching a vid where Emily was doing a show for a little girl's biday party & both of you were backstage battling over chocolates someone had left out. 😂😂😂
ikr! that was also the first vid i watched!
The first I saw was probably Emily showing some snake in her home and Ed being super shy hiding behind the camera. But I fell for this channel immidiatly from the first video, Emily is an amazing reptile teacher.
@@teijaflink2226 my first video was her explaining the differences between frogs and toads
I love how you actually care for your reptiles and other animals, if they don't like being in the zoo then they are moved in the back and those who are more social and enjoy people watching get moved into the zoo. Much better than a lot of other zoos
It's been 2 years since I've last watched you guys. I'm glad to see nothing has changed, you guys helped me get into reptiles
Nothing has changed and EVERYTHING has changed!
But they are still Ed and Emily.
THAT will never change!
I’d name him after the vet that helped save his leg. Such a friend
Braveheart? He’s got blue on him and he’s a warrior. I love the enclosure and glad you found your ring!
I LOVE what you did with his new enclosure!! It's super awesome. And he's such a beautiful monitor!
He's beautiful and I'm so happy that he's staying at the Zoo!
I've been trying to think of "blue" names but haven't thought of anything other than Aquaman...
Yeah. Not great.
Best of luck!🍀🍀🍀
As an Aussie, I can say with authority, that he should be named Bazza. Bazza the Blue-tailed Monitor.
I am so glad you decided to keep him
I'm really impressed with how well he's climbing and getting around after his whole leg infection. To think he could have had it amputated to making a full recovery, its just brilliant. Looking forward to learning his new name , he sure is gorgeous 🥰
I loved the MTV Cribs style editing on the enclosure reveal lol
He's a beauty of a monitor and a perfect addition. I love the new enclosure so perfect and huge for him to explore and use the leg. Ya'll are perfection. Irwin is a great name and a lot of others are saying the same. He's an Australian explorer.
Sometimes I think the enclosures are smaller than they are… then Emily fits inside easily. 😂
emily and ed are really tall peeps as well
@@ghost.mp3 yeah Emily is like 6'8
@@ghost.mp3 about 5'11". I'm 5'10" and when we met we were just about eye to eye.
She put her blood ,sweat, tears ,bad words and a wedding ring😂
2:32 is so wholesome
The first video with him in it, the name Bluey came to mind. He’s adorBs. Thanks for sharing his recovery. Y’all remind me of my spouse and me! We do not act our age nor do we need forgiveness for it either. Keep having fun and love, love love. 💖💖💖
I am 67. With my son's friends I am considered as "the FUN mom"!
Or maybe "Bandit" (Bluey's dad) since he's male?
I love seeing them explore their new space for the first time - it's like unleashing a little kid into their own personal playground! ❤️
I think Montgomery Montgomery, from a serious of unfortunate events, would be a good name for him (apologies if female, I haven't watched the leg surgery video yet). It looked like he likes to explore and his nickname could be Monty both referring to his name and his species.
That's a cool enclosure! It's cool to see him running around and exploring it
I just got to finished watching the last video YYYAAAYYY perfect timing
So awesome to see him be able to do so much in his new home especially climbing on everything
Beautiful habitat for a gorgeous lizard.
Dundee! He has strong "you call that a knife?!" Energy
Ed's method of branch cutting- I cried actual tears I laughed so hard!!! Great editing!
I NEVER KNEW YOU TWO SWEAR I THOUGHT YOU WERE TO NICE TO SWEAR
His leg looks so much incredibly better. From the first video that you had when it was so swollen it looked so horrible. He’s absolutely gorgeous.
Aww I'm so glad you made this video! I've been looking forward to it but didn't expect it to be so soon haha! I vote for the name Steve for this new monitor. A homage to the late Mr. Irwin and Australia
It's great that he is doing so well! He looks really happy and healthy, especially with what happened to his leg. I believe animals are grateful for what people do for them, and I feel he is really thankful for you guys keeping him and helping him keep his leg.
Love seeing his progress video you guys are certainly the best reptile keepers on TH-cam
Awh I love him❤
Great job with the makeover.
hey early crew,
and hi emily, ed, editor and team!
so glad to see monitor looking well!
my 3 name suggestions are, Bloo-per, Monty, Eeyore.
I love seeing how much wholesome fun you guys have doing these things despite the hard work (and blood! lol)! The edit showing off the enclosure gave me a good giggle.
I've been playing a lot of Xenoblade 3, so names that come to mind are Ghondor and Vandham. Ghondor is super feisty with an attitude to match (ESPECIALLY with her mom). I don't know how to get into the details about Vandham, but he's also a super cool character. I guess they came to mind partially because they have Australian accents.
I hope the old owner is happy to see the new beautiful home that their scale buddy gets to live in now. The did the responsible thing by surrendering him when they didn't have the ability to help the medical issues that arose. It's always sad when an owner is a good owner, but problems arise that they just can't meet and that's okay and happens. This sassy guy has got a great new home and the special reptiles that snake discovery keeps with them are certainly some lucky little creatures 🥺
He’s back so quickly
What if you called him Bluey? She's also a blue Australian critter, and very popular with people of all ages!
that's a very Aussie name indeed
Chole in the background is so funny.
I absolutely love watching you guys... I've enjoyed watching all your videos ...I binge watch
He could be Eiffel after Eiffel 65 who made Blue (da ba Dee.)
Call him Whiplash. He's fast, he's got a long whip-like tail, and he came back from the brink of death
3:00 aussie here. My woma also hung off his ligh cord so he just has no light now. I taped it and everything, he just wants stealth mode
a lot of people here in the first minute
Yeah
Emily searching for her ring reminded me of when I worked at a zoo and we got in literal TONS of sand for an island for our ringtailed lemurs and the blue tarp bags they used to transport it shredded... I spent an entire day crawling on my hands and knees digging in the red sand to find all the tarp pieces! My hands were stained red!!
Beautiful enclosure! Well done! I vote Stevie for his name!
I’m so impressed that you noticed which animals don’t like being in the zoo and you make them suck it up
I love you too together. It’s just so cute. :)
That was a pretty sick exhibit montage you did there.
Me when looking at the enclosure before you guys took everything out of it: that looks kinda small for a monitor....
After seeing Emily climb inside it to clean it: oh yeah. That's good. 🤣
I think naming him after spider-man's Dr. Connors would be neat.
Impressed with the improvement on the leg so he can scale the wall! Will he outgrow that enclosure?
He kind of looks like a Squirt because of his surgery. He is adorable. I love monitors
I think Hank or Pym in reference to Hank Pym would be a great reference to the monitor’s leg getting larger and then shrinking when it he got better.
HI my name is jayla I’ve been watching you guys since before you guys had the zoo! I love you guys and the reptiles so much. I went to the zoo today and saw Emily. She was talking to someone but I interrupted and asked for a picture so I just wanted to say sorry for interrupting your conversation with the other people and have a good day 😊❤ 🐍
i have loved following this story of the blue tailed lizard.. As an Aussie i would call the lizard "Bluey"
I love the idea if Steve (Irwin) plus Emily like me loves human names so it fits so well.
Glad his leg is all better. He is a beautiful boy!
6:55 it was very funny well done ed
Thank you for the wonderful videos! I never thought anything about snakes before I found your channel. I have seen every single video and know so much about snakes snd reptiles. Emily I thought you had great composure! You lost your ring and then your husband started teasing it was his chance to get away. He is very lucky to have you! I am sure he knows that. ;)
Barbossa is a great name, or Captain, for Captain Barbossa, he has a wooden leg and is my favourite character in Potc xD
This Old Tony just did a video on cordless pruners... they would have clipped that branch like nothing, but it's legit kinda scary how well they work. Like, it wouldn't hesitate to remove a finger.
I was going to say Indy, as in Indiana Jones.... But someone else suggested Irwin, and i love that too!
I loved the mtv cribs montage
Awesome video and setup
In my experience woma pythons don’t move all that much anyway. They’re a bit more of a calmer species who kind of just sit and chill in a hide or a ledge.
I adore monitor lizards, they are such a cool species. I love the intelligence you can see in their eyes, like the second Ed put him in his zoo enclosure you could see his brain start working and figuring out what was going on. He is a beautiful animal. Are you going to try to continue handling him as he was doing pretty well with it when you had to do it regularly to give meds/flush his wound etc; he may actually socialise really well with time and regular handling/interaction.
cloe:MOM MOM LOOK AT ME
lol
ED: ITS DARK AND SCARY OUT THERE
When she was in the enclosure I couldn't help but think Emily the exhibit
This is Allison her kid and I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH ! My mom and me want to go to Minnesota so bad just to go to the zoo . How did the Blue-Tail Monitor's leg get swollen and from what? Hope you sssnakeable time.
🐍( you guys are awesome)
Bluey would be a great name!!
We named our monitor Joanna (from Rescuer's Down Under) :)
Dex-Starr it’s a superhero. It is a cat but it’s got a blue tail, and some stars are blue, and the superhero cat does have a scar on its leg in the comics
Aw his enclosure looks awesome, hes definitely more fun than the python ❤
Tendy, I know it’s been a year but you said based off his leg and tendy as in tendon a part of his leg.
I loved this video. Me and my cat watch your videos together and somehow the snakes don’t freak him out.
Also I like Irwin that someone suggested. But I also like the idea of naming him after one of the spider men given how well he sticks to the walls. Peter Parker or miles morales or some version of it
When you said the platform was like a sacrifice spot i immediately thought the name odin would fit him
Spidy...lol he scales the wall like Spider-Man
Thank you for saying “so much room for activities” now ima have step brothers stuck in my head all day 😂
Omw Steve!!! Irwin I miss that guy😢
I came to suggest Jardine, Jackson, Olive, Holroyd or the Wenlock which are all rivers on the Cape York Peninsula where blue monitors live. I was also trying to see if there were any ancient aboriginal gods that sacrifices were given to, though haven't found any yet....but saw Irwin suggested by others, and that is pretty wicked.
Lou is the name of the Goanna in Fern Gully :D
Aww he's so cutte I can't wait to go for my birthday
I just remembered something random I remember when you guys drew a picture of Rex when you were building your zoo in the walls
Could be fun to do target training with the Blue-Tailed Monitor. Teach him to come right to the door at feeding time and target.
Hi Ed and Emily the scientific name for the blue tailed monitor is Varanus doreanus. So I was thinking a good name would be Dorian.
Yes
U should name him Edger also I lovveeeeee ur videos I remember when u opened snake eggs in ur kitchen lol
You should name him Jareth after the Goblin King. His pattern looks like a labyrinth!!
I just can’t help saying you’re my boy Blue every time I see him. So I’m going to keep calling him blue.
I like the name Azul for him :)
Have you named him yet? What about "Draino" since healed so well?!
