I am gob smacked to hear people have been trying to make “I’d love to feed your pet to my snake” comments ! They must be disturbed! She’s a lovely snake and I love the way you’ve set her enclosure up look forward to seeing lots more of her x

[marzettik]

She’s a pretty snake. Love how you called her a safety noodle. Cute name you picked and it’s always good to pick different names because I know sometimes it can cause issues at the vet.

I used to have quite a few snakes, royal pythons, corn snakes, Cape House snakes and Western hognose. I absolutely love that egg eaters seem to be getting easier to source as I've always wanted one, if I ever got snakes again it would be an egg eater. Rue is beautiful!

[rowdyrats]

I was thinking that it might be an egg eating snake when you first mentioned that you got your dream reptile. It's so cool that you finally got a danger noodle! ❤🐍
Edit: Rue is adorable!

[Riminism]

As a huge reptile and rondent lover this makes me happy because people often think that I shouldn't own both and now there is someone showing them that it is possible

[PetConnectionInternational]

Awh she's lovely 🥰 I'm definitely with you on the rodent eating snake thing, as much as I love snakes I couldn't emotionally cope with feeding rodents to them myself, I may end up getting an egg eater in the future though, or an insectivore perhaps, but I love rodents way too much to be able to feed them to a snake. Don't get me wrong, snakes have to eat too, I just don't think I could do it personally

love that you called her a safety noodle, thats so cute! ♥

[sunstar]

They have to be trolls for saying that they want to feed your animals to their snakes. I bet most of them don't have a snake. Just because they don't like a certain animal doesn't mean everyone one else should too.

I'm so happy you got the right snake for you!

[dmereness]

What a lovely little lady! She's going to have a great time with you, I can tell

[margalothegreat_hams]

Aw, Rue is so adorable! I think if I ever got/get a snake I would want an African egg eating snake. I was also the 4 year old who wanted to hold boa constrictors lol, once at an animal rescue place they had a big snake, and I was the only one of my friends who wanted to pet the snake and hold it. All the other kids ran away or watched from a distance heh.

I'm really excited for this new content! I own both small mammals, mice and a hamster, and many snakes. I don't like when I tell people what I own and they say my mice are food when they're a pet.

[carolinewatson]

I've never been a lover of snakes but you make them sound amazing. My rule of thumb if it has fur I love it. My rats are my first pets as an adult and they really are my spoiled children lol.
Ps I absolutely love your t-shirt x

[Jodiescox]

Omg, Emi, she’s lovely! I’m so sorry people have been saying that they want their reptile to eat ur mice/rat! That must be absolutely horrible!

[Creatureexotics]

I have three rodent eating snakes (corn snake, royal python and a western hognose). I got them before I got rats, and knowing what I do about rodent mills, I’d never get another. I will keep my three as they’re here now and have to eat, but when they pass I wouldn’t get more rodent eaters, completely see why you went with an egg eating species! Of course I love my danger noodles, but as my awareness has grown I’ve been more uncomfortable

[stellabelikiewicz]

The idea of Omlette as a potential name reminds me of Emily and Ed at Snake Discovery, who ended up naming one of their western hognoses “Omnomlette” after she was caught eating HER OWN eggs 😀

[NowakiStar]

Congrats! Egg eaters are so interesting. She looks very healthy and relaxed. The enclosure looks very good so far and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished set up.

[angelicangelic]

Ad a child I owned a blue racer snake, a red rat snake and a Boa in the past but after there long lives i chose not to own more because i didnt like feeding them live rodents. I then owned Rats and mice. I didn't know a snake existed that ate eggs. Thank you for sharing. I will be looking to adopt Rats again as soon as I finish my enclosure property. 🙏🏼🌸

[thistlebraaanch]

Rue is a beautiful little snake. I have such a love for this species; I think they are just fab! I hope you both share fond memories together x

[bumblebee]

i knew it!! as soon as i saw your instagram stories i remembered your old “pets i want to own” or “pets i don’t want to own” video!!

[Chelchith]

I have a West African, Central African and an Egyptian Egg Eating Snake, I love them so much 😊💜
