  • We're getting so close to opening!! In today's video we decorate the outsides of enclosures with epoxy and moss, we play with rocks, decorate the inside of the enclosures, and even help arrange the first-ever proposal in the zoo!!

    I love how Emily doesn't know the name of a plant that's literally called the Snake Plant, and even adds a subtitle about knowing about reptiles, not plants. I just love the irony of the statement.

      Small business owners need to stick together. Giving that landscaping company more for the slate is also letting them know the value of those rocks, so that they can make the most of what they have.

    Emily and Ed, you two are some of the most beautiful human beings on this platform. What you do for animals is like no other. Lest not underrate how AWESOME the proposal was too. Jeff has such a beautiful way with words I don’t even know him and I would have said yes! Collin and Jeff congratulations is in order for you two. May you both always feel as special and important to each other as you do right now. That kiss was so genuine, i could feel the love the through screen. Can I just say how much I love the passion that Ed & Em and snake discovery have all creatures human, reptile and other. You 1000% practice what you preach and its such a breath of fresh air in a sometimes very ugly world these days. Thanks again to you both for simply just being you

      @Mr Mole are you really comparing male lions to male humans? Humans don’t all have the same mindset. Maybe if you were gay and your partner proposed to you, you would suck them off every night, but not everyone does that? And who are you to make the rules based on male lions when you aren’t even gay?? I know someone who is gay, and I can guarantee you he does not suck off his partner every night. Do straight women suck off their husbands every night?? No. What’s the difference with gay people?

    emily always reminds me of the girl from Rio- same enthusiasm and adorable demeanor. what i love most about Snake Discovery is how the exotic pets are hardly used for click baits and ed and emily's personalities are wonderful enough to carry the channel haha

      Yes! Ever since I discovered this channel she’s reminded me of someone and I finally know who!

      I was very afraid of snakes when I first started watching. Emily’s personality ( and Ed’s as he started to get more involved) was fun to watch and I’ve slowly have become less afraid of snakes.
