  • Today Rex gets upgraded! Since she'll be living at home with us for a couple more months (and we're tired of her popping her pools), we bit the bullet and bought her an ultra-heavy-duty pool that is finally Rex-proof!

      It probably helps that they're not food-sized and that they can read reptile body language. It would probably not be safe to have a toddler/cat/small dog in the same house as an alligator, even one whose growth is stunted to adolescent size like Rex!

    I love this, because it shows that Alligators aren't evil killing machines. She lets you touch her, clean her, and change up her room without trying to hurt you. The only time she even got aggressive was when the door touched her tail suddenly (which, instinctively, she took as an attempt to eat her), and she aborted the move when she realized it was an accident. How cool is that??

      Their video "spying" on Rex is so cute, I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, but something they said almost made me cry - alligators have a fancy transparent membrane in their eye they close so they can protect their eyes underwater but still see. When they first gave Rex access to a pool, she didn't know how to use the membrane, because she had never been in water before. She would just close her normal eyelids and barrel around the bottom of the water, knocking into things because she couldn't see. She has learned how to use the membrane since, but it just made me sad to imagine a creature so deprived of the things that should be second nature to her.

Your snakes that can get over 10ft do not belong in any sort of bins, especially snakes proven that they do enjoy climbing and such. Like I said, I see they are getting a new facility and I really hope this means most if not all of the snakes are out of bins.
      I do not dislike bins (My geckos (Crestie/Gargoyle are in bins because my house has very low humidity and they were having shedding issues, even with daily spritzing), but it is sad to see snakes in plain jane bins with just bedding and hide with no sort of enrichment. We're finally telling people that Ball pythons do not belong in bins, so I think it's time to stick up for the even bigger snakes. Yes, the snake being able to stretch out is fine, but please also give them room to climb if so.

      There's a Rex playlist and recent Rex birthday vid if you've not seen. The tl;dr is she was brought as a hatchling to the former owner's house in I think the 80s. He loved Rex, but didn't know how to take care of her. Emily got a job helping with his other pets and just omg there's an alligator and she's how old and she's fed how much? (But much more tactfully put I think). Emily tried to get her into a bigger space and eventually dude just asked if they wanted her. Right after they got married and bought a house. Imagine discussing adopting a pint sized alligator with your spouse right after you got married.

    So Rex is basically Ed and Emily's baby.

    i cant exlain how this video made me feel. i started watching in 2019, and absolutely just fell head first into your content during quarantine. seeing your old video's where ed is self-conscious about being on camera, compared to NOW, where he makes 'stud' jokes, JUSTIFIABLY SO. i cant explain it but. its a certain type of joy, knowing that we've been giving this trust with someone who DIDNT offer himself to youtube the way emily did. its truly special to me.
    and then going back and seeing JUST HOW SMALL EMILY STARTED, to a freaking FACILITY. i still remember when you were overjoyed at getting extra racks for your house around 2019-2020 because you were running out of space, and here you are with your OWN BUILDING. its just... so cool.
