3:19 Ever see something as bad ass as someone flipping you off while holding a snake

[katiecurnew]

imagine having a person you really like at your house and he goes to look in your freezer or fridge and sees frozen mice

Who else doesn’t have a snake just finds her videos fun and ammuzing

Great topic! People ask me this all the time. You're doing such a great job!

Hey Emily, I just wanted to let you know that a wild snake slithered over my foot this morning and when I realized what it was (Eastern Garter Snake) I didn't freak out at all!! <3 You've really helped come to an understanding with these lil babies.

"You can usually get them to transition on your own, you just sometimes have to be more stubborn than the snake is." PROFOUND!

One time i brought a rubber rat snake to school and everyone thought that it was real, venomous, and would eat everyone in a single sitting. Like no. It's a toy the length of my forearm, real ones aren't even venomous and also they can barely choke down a rat, much less than 80 seventh graders
Edit: I was in a health/PE class in Jacksonville Florida. There probably wasn't actually 80 kids in the class, more like 60-70. But yes, the children are that dumb. What's even dumber is that it was a magnet school, preparing kids to go to medical school

As a mouse breeder, the terms y'all use for mouse sizes is hilarious.

Mine is a glutton and will eat anything 🙄 i could warm up a Cheeto and she would eat it
(No, I have not given her a Cheeto lol)

This is the first time someone has actually decently explained to me what to feed my two young corn snakes. Even the vet just said "roughly 3 times the size of the head", but I always had a hunch that was too small because the snakes didn't show a bump after feeding at all. Thank you so much for this

Playing with fire handling snakes and mice at the same time lol.

I never wrote a Comment on ur Videos but i just wanna say that about 2 Weeks ago i found ur Channel by accident and since than fell completley in love. I soaked in every Video like a Sponge and i'm craving more, now the Plottwist. I am extremly scared of Snake's and i have massive respect for them. But regardless i still watch ur Video's bc i like to educate myself about something i'm scared of. I'm still super super scared but i learnd soo much from here and maybe one day i will loose my fear due to education. Thanks for making such great Video's and educating us. Lot's of Love from Anna <3

me: doesn't have a snake or plan to get one
my brain: you need to know what size rodent to feed your nonexistent pet snake

Emily to a pinky to feed a baby hognose: OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!

[haleyneeter]

I've been researching hognose care for months and this is the first really good answer I got to feeding size! thank you soooo much for this video!

[roybraak]

wait how did you get to half a million subscribers so fast

Edit: You deserve every one of them, I meant it in a positive way :)

The chart tip is actually really helpful! It should be normalized. As a first time corn snake owner, my biggest concern was over feeding or under feeding because the size of the food seemed small. You’re videos help me fix mistakes and learn how to handle my snake in the future. Thank you so much and continue doing what you’re doing, I love the videos!!

I seen a garter snake coming home from school today and I told my mom and she freaked out I told her It was just a garter snake they can't do any real harm if I didn't find your channel I would have probably over reacted but I didn't YAY😄

[wolfyinuzuka]

Love your videos, Emily you helped cure me of my fear of the noodles 🐍
