SNAKE DISCOVERY MERCH!

SNAKE DISCOVERY PATREON

Music by BenSound and Epidemic Sound

[aleishabarrett]

Name suggestion: Hestia, Greek goddess of Fire, hearth, home, and protecting the house. Vesta would be the roman equivalent. Phoenix is always a good shout but a touch overused for fire names however still suits her well, and another fire goddess is 'Brigid' the pagan goddess of Fire, healing, spring and renewal

[A_Swarm_of_Koalas]

Name suggestion: Boitatá. It's a mythical Brazilian fire snake. They're protectors of nature. The legend is thought to be based around spontaneously igniting swamp gas.

I knew those enclosures were big, but when Emily crawled inside I realized just how big the setups were. Really shows just how much she cares about her animals. I love it

[jerryray]

I love it when Emily gets excited about snakes doing normal snake things. She truly has so much love and passion for her animals

[kellyg]

For the boy Argentine boa, I’d suggest Zuko, especially if he’s scarred.

Keeping the hallways a bit dimmed might also reduce reflections when looking in the terrariums

2 years later and the Argentines def have strong trees, and the ledges happily were reinforced for a gravid Phoenix. From ashes to a zoo to breeding. Beautiful

Seeing not just the animals happy, but also seeing you guys so happy about being able to do this for your animals is literally making me tear up. I hope you know how much good you're putting into the world with your work 💕

[firefoxkari]

Name suggestion: Wabjet, the protective serpent goddess who sends fire to burn her enemies in Egyptian mythology

[kldkinzo]

My partner, Joey, suggested Azula for the female, and Zuko for the male (if he needs a name as well) :) love seeing all the new enclosures!!

[katherynedarrah]

I'm uber happy you guys included IUCN red list on the signs! Most places don't, and simply mention it in the text, which is kinda glossing over it.

[sassyhulk]

I'm recovering from oral surgery and comforting myself by watching you guys move the reptiles into the zoo. It's so great to see how far you've come❤

[Haydi.]

I definitely recommend having the lights dimmed when all the enclosures are done and lit up it will make viewing inside the enclosures easier and look insanely cool.

So I work at the Virginia Aquarium, and we have a softshell turtle as well. Just a little tip, if kids can't figure out which one it is, just tell them to look for the swimming pancake. It gets them laughing and also helps them find the turtle!

That's so sad the snakes had to go through that fire. I wish them the best. She absolutely deserves that huge cage.👏👏👏❤❤❤

[riptidesart]

Phenix is an amazing name for her! Also maybe Zuko for her boyfriend, since he has burn scars.

[panadayana]

"ardor" might be one for the Argentinan snakes since it means to burn with passion/fierceness in Spanish. i saw someone also commented ember which was the other thought. So happy for your guys!

[himynameisalex-]

I recently went to an aquarium and some animals didn't even have name tags much less, information so it's great to see your doing informational signs, thank you do much yall!

[annar]

I am so hooked, I have been watching these over and over again and seeing how much you love your animals, really warms my heart, I love snakes, lizards etc but I have a fear of spiders more so the ones that are large or very obvious ones, its hard to describe the ones I fear. I know they can't hurt me, especially the ones that we have here in England (Midlands) and we deal with more the house spiders and they are great for dealing with flies or other bugs but yuk.... what can I do....

To weigh in on the lighting debate, I used to work at the National Aquarium, and pretty much all of our enclosures were lit up, with almost no lighting in the hallways. It obviously came with some drawbacks, but I think it was amazing to showcase the animals. If I was in your position, I’d set the overhead lights suuuuper low, and then have the enclosure lights be the predominant light source. This also helps with animal stress, since they will see their own reflection more than a bunch of big apes walking around
