Hey, that first hog is one of ours! That’s the pedigree chart that came out first and the brochure is the individual feed records and such. Really cool Nikki kept all that and sent it on to you! So happy you guys have her—look forward to seeing how she folds in to the projects. Hissy has her mama’s chubby cheeks 🥰

[nicolelewis]

Yay! I'm so glad to see Hissy again! I really do miss her, but I can't think of anyone (outside of her breeder) who would take better care of her. Thank you, Ed and Emily, for all that you do. I really appreciate you taking care of Queen Hissy and I look forward to seeing her produce some babies!

Hearing Xanthe's story, I couldn't help but imagine them as a pokemon trainer sending their eggs to you to grow. AHH! When Emily pokes them to check if they're alive, that gives me an idea. You're the Poke-Poke-Poke Nursery.

Names for the Mercuries, HG Wells (Hg is mercury on the periodic table) and Quicksilver (old timey word for mercury)!

[annetheelf]

For the female het Mercury I was thinking Marie Curie because not only does the name sound like Mercury, but she was a famous chemist and Physicist who won Nobel Prizes in both those fields

[katbairwell]

Xanthe, if you see this, thank you for being so kind and thoughtful as to share your (sadly) vicarious love for the more unusual Hognose morphs with the community!! Much love from fellow European (though Brexit broke my heart, Europe is where my soul resides). It is a tremendously generous thing to share your passion in this way, I hope you get many, many chances to traverse the Atlantic to visit your beautiful scale-babies. <3

Depending on the source, in Roman mythology, Mercury's parents are either Maia and Jupiter, or Dies and Caelus. Maybe the mercury makers could be named after them!

[Vickie-Bligh]

What you sow is what you reap. You both are some of the sweetest, kindest, and most generous of people I've heard of. Thank you for accepting these snakes, not only to breed cool morphs, but expanding the gene pool of your collection. Thank you also for sharing these with us all. Nikki, Xanthie, Adrian what you did is so kind and so generous. Bless all 3 of you.

The breeder of Hissy, , Cleo's Kingdom Colubrids, is an amazing breeder. I have a couple snakes from her and highly recommend them!

I had a fellow hognose snake owning friend in france a while back who was sad because some laws changed which classed hognoses as venamous and therefore needing a license (or something like that, if memory serves at all) so once hers passed away, she would be unable to get anymore. Was reminded of that from Xanthe's story... I wonder if more countries than France did this :( im lucky to live in the uk where we still can freely own hoggies. what a lovely idea to own them through Snake Discovery as well as sharing the dnakes with rhe world. It's a sweet gesture!

[katsukirenka]

I feel Xanthe on an emotional level. I LOVE hognoses but Australian wildlife laws are very strict. I do agree with our laws to keep our environment and native wildlife as safe as we can, but sometimes I do wish I could have a beautiful hognose or ball python!

[lulib]

It is so lovely that people are sending projects. I can't keep any more pets as I have a disability, one bird is more than enough, so I also watch for reasons of vicarious animal keeping. I will be very much looking forward to seeing how these pairings go in the next few years.

[TheChildofAuraReborn]

It’s been delightful seeing Rosie grow up so big. I can’t wait to see her produce her first clutch!

[debrabearxo]

Adrian and his wife are absolutely wonderful! They always enjoy talking to anyone and everyone and they love showing kids and teaching them about their animals!

[marianaalmeidaaaa]

Hey guys! Random comment, just though you guys should know.
Last month, i had a really bad panic attack. Saw a random video on youtube shorts that was supper triggering and awful. Im talking hours without proper breathing, screaming, the whole nines. The thing that calmed me? The baby snakes hatching playlist. Worked like a charm.
I know you guys sometimes think we are tired of baby snakes hatching videos, but please, never stop making them.

[tammyfrancis]

10:38 What an excellent idea Xanthe! You are so generous. I hope you enjoy the snakes!
Thank you Xanthe, because I will enjoy watching what Snake Discovery does with them!

[laramaaike]

Xanthe, I just love your idea of being part of the breeding project of SD. Such a lovely move. You are a beautiful person. And I hope we will see in the future your babies. (Bc in my eyes they are yours as well)
And WOW Nikki, that name is amazing. I thought my cat had a long name, but nope.... I love it. She is sweet, and I hope she stays sweet hahaha not hissy
Ps: Rosie is still my favourite. I love that she (normally) would chomp at Emily

[kelleyhawk]

Thank u Nicky & Xanthe & Adrian for sharing your beautiful hog noses with so many of us, who live vicariously through Snake Discovery!!!! ❤🫡💕

[AirwrekaDoesntRead]

For the mercury makers, you could do Freddie (Mercury) and Mary Austin (his long time female partner) 🥰 They're so cute!

[kioshijacakl]

These guys are the reason I love sneks. My dream snek is a sunburst or an axanthic hognose because hognoses are the cutest little sassy things.
