For the second year in a row, our Vietnamese blue beauties had a clutch of eggs! And just like before, she laid them vertically... How interesting! We haven't seen this in any other species! Let's hope they hatch :)

Blue beauty rat snakes do remain near the eggs and defend them against predation. Most blue beauty rat snakes in captivity do exhibit post egg laying maternal behaviour towards the eggs like large pythons.
Super cool!
Aw
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the info!
No problem. Always happy to share knowledge about these wonderful snakes
It occurrs to me that when your new big incubator is up and running, you need to make the first batch of eggs Soda logos. And those blue beauties are absolutely gorgeous!
Yes!! Genius idea!
Oooh, I like this. xD
Can I just say again how happy I am that Ed is so much more comfortable on camera? The more of Ed I see the more I appreciate him as a person
Emily picked him so you know he's gotta be awesome. :) (And vice versa, of course!)
Yeah, Ed seems like a very cool person
Emily is probably a huge encouragement to him. She's not camera shy at all, and it's rubbed off on Ed it seems!!
Next step is hearing him sing!!!
@@lialvart Oh jeez, I don't know about that!! I'd love it, but he won't even sing for his wife, idk if he'd sing for fans!!
Is it just me or did anyone notice how much Cheyenne’s claws dug into Emily’s neck during the incubator progress bar. Props to you Emily for tolerating the pain for love 😘
that's what you sign up for when you get a bird, lol- especially a macaw!
I don’t have a parrot but I have a small dog and he climbs on me like Cheyenne
I was horrified for like 5 second before remembering how long Emily had Cheyenne. She probably barely notices by now.
@@Lucky-zk4ro I have a tortoise that likes to sit on my shoulder. He makes me feel like a pirate with a parrot on my shoulder 😂
@@maggiemitch2344 that’s a first for me, absolutely brilliant 😂😂
Omg the fact that the staff named the parent snakes Romeo and Juliet because Juliet likes to look down at him from her “balcony” is literally so adorable 😭
Glad to also know that they know their 'Snakespeare' with the " 2 star crossed lovers" comment too !
😐
@@kieraleah6768 what’s that face for
@@kieraleah6768 what is your problem?
@@Ixvevi Maybe they're not a fan of the connotation- both Romeo and Juliet die very young, remember? So do several other young men.
This is according to Reptiles Magazine, "Beauty snakes have been observed exhibiting post-egg-laying maternal behavior toward their eggs, similar to large pythons. It is possible that you will open the humid hide to find the female tightly coiled around 10 to 15 eggs (or up to 25 for larger subspecies)."
Can we please get a clip of Ed and Cheyenne playing together in one of the shenanigans videos? That sounds adorable. Also I am genuinely curious how birds play.
I can try to make that happen! It never occurred to me that you haven't seen Cheyenne play before 😅
We got a glimpse of Ed playing with Cheyenne in one of fan-mail opening videos! Now, to remember which one
@@SnakeDiscovery Thank you, looking forward.
Yay
I want to see it too
I will never not be impressed by Emily’s ability to draw and write perfectly upside down
Sorry I disliked it ( Btw if anyone hears I’m not trying to be mean I didn’t mean to dislike it)
Me too you mean
Yes
A
Same. I keep forgetting it’s upset down for her lol
The way you design the enclosure is AMAZING!!!! It is super pretty and practical! Hope the breeding season goes well! Please post update videos about Julia's eggs! Can't wait to see them hatch!
yes! lots of wonderful enrichment and things for them to play on!💛
Juliet**
@@-sleepydude_-.- You didn't need point it out.
@@-Sage_Pawzz I’m glad they did. I had no idea who Julia was. I thought someone named Julia gave them some eggs and this was the first time that I was hearing about it.
@@WHALEx3 Oh..
I love how the hog noses are hatching and the blue beauties are still laying eggs. 😆
At first I thought the same thing, but then I noticed that when she wrote down the date the eggs were laid it said 6/15 so that's two months ago, guess the video just got delayed because of the enclosure build-off competition.
@@jeaninelangreder9155 and the lavender hogs were last month i think
The miracles of video editing ;)
You can come over and get me a drink and I'll come home and grab it for me lol and I'll be home 🏘️🏡 and get
It was so cool to see Juliet all coiled up around her eggs and then all stretched out on the branch as she made her way up to her balcony. Really gives a good idea of just how long those snakes are!
I know it's said often, but it is incredible how well designed the enclosures are to the point that your critters feel THIS comfortable to breed repeatedly!
They are going to breed regardless bro
@@Rryan8065 yeah, they would probably breed regardless of the set up. But- replicating their natural habitats and providing good care can lead to better, more successful breeding.
These videos are like a time machine sometimes. Here we are with footage from June, and those eggs are probably really close to hatching by now. And in the breeding room I spotted a tag that said Japanese Rat. Would love to see that one day.
Julia taking her balcony back is such a CHAMP! The Snake Crossed Lovers is so cute!! 2:45
I know, right? The lights out once they reunited felt like the end of a theatre scene!
@@sophiecavazos7947 Yeahh Definitely! it looks like an actual scene from a movie!
I thought we were finally past the laying stage! But these snakes just keep surprising me. Looking forward to seeing even more babies
This video is from mid June
Omgosh Cheyenne 🥰 now Id seriously LOVE to see how Ed plays with her! Or even BETTER!!! an "a day in the life of boss Cheyenne" video!! 🤣 I got two caiques and I am starting to have trouble thinking of new ways to play with them.
amazing! The blue beauty enclosure is gorgeous 😍 can't wait for their babies to hatch out!
Me to I'm soooo excited
I'm glad that Ed being so natural on camera! I hope that we see him more!
I swear, Romeo and Juliet are a great breeding pair. Great looking eggs both times, and so well clumped together. And then how she wraps around and protects them. Amazing each time compared to other snakes with their eggs. Those two must be really happy with the home and care you have given them.
Well its not fair to compare their brooding behavious to new world colubrids since it's species-specific.
I ❤ Emily's videos so much 😚😚😚😚 and I'm your biggest fan
I really want to see the soda machine-to-incubator transformation. It should be it's own video at this point.😉
Saw someone who decorated an incubator and turned it into a oven haha
The blue beauty hatching video is one of my favorites so I can’t wait for these to hatch! I ❤️ there tail wags
Yay! Another blue beauty clutch. Their enclosure is one of my favorites. Can’t wait for their hatching as these were such sassy snakes last year.
The blue beauty eggs are so exciting, but that moment of Cheyenne trying to climb onto Emily is what I needed after this roller coaster of a day! 😂
Wow. I just realized I've been watching you for 4 years. You made me realize how much I love snakes and now I want to own snakes. Sadly I can't do that for a long while but it's still a goal of mine. I've learned so much from you and Ed and I wanted to say thank you. You are an amazing teacher and pet owner. :)
I just remembered that this channel literally got me through quarantine i love watching these even though i dont own a single reptile xD
Next year when you guys finish the other incubator you need to repaint this one blue to look like the TARDIS
YES!!
the way emily went "anyway!" And pulled her shirt, then Cheyenne squawked was adorable omg 14:30
Beauty snakes are one of the few colubrids that have been known to maternally incubate their eggs. An issue of Reptiles Magazine released some 20 years ago talked about one of the earliest captive clutches being incubated by the dam. Most recently someone in Europe let their cave dwelling rat snake maternally incubate with success.
Blue beauties are some of my favorite snakes! Their pattern is so beautiful.
Hi Emily and Ed! My parents said I can get a Corn Snake! It will be my first reptile. Also, an idea for the pictures on the eggs is wild west theme for something like a Hognose
Good luck with your cornsnake :) make sure you cover every spot where it might escape, they’re incredible at finding any spot at all.
@@eggchomp I know, I have been researching them like crazy!
Good luck and have fun!
@@eggchomp Yeah, we put a cage around the heat lamp to stop my snake wrapping around it. But, and you can see where this is going I’m sure, but there was a really tiny gap. No snake could get through it. You know what she did? She got through it. She dealt herself great damage getting in there. No burn marks, just injuries. We think she got spinal damage, a cute under th3 head and a cut on her tail. She didn’t make it. So BE. CAREFUL.
@@ainsleighgray5241 I’m really sorry about that. My cornsnake, my first ever snake was a baby. Thinner than my pinkie finger, I had her in a cubed exoterra enclosure. One day, I looked in and she had just disappeared. I tore the thing apart searching for her, until I realised she escaped through the tiny hole that was meant for the wires of the under tank heat mat. I only figured that out because there was some sort of musk or excretion around the back of the tank where the hole was. It’s been almost 2 years, and we never found her.
ever since you've introduced blue beauties they've been my favourite snakes! they're definitely a goal species I'd love to keep someday (just how to find a breeder in germany lol). i always get extra hyped when you show the beauties!
Same! I'm generally not into arborelal snakes but Blue Beauties stole my heart.
you can probably get them at hamm or houten
Ed: "God shes good looking" Romeo: "Hey back off! That is my girlfriend"
I'm sure someone in the comments already said this, but I love the idea for a new goodnight book, saying goodnight to all the animals in the zoo and Ed and Emily too!
Honestly them messing with Cheyenne is pretty adorable. Like if she didn't want them to do that she'd very clearly fight back and I'm sure with that beak she'd have a nasty bite but honestly she's just chilling and enjoying the attention. It's very cute!
I love Cheyenne so much!!! I've never been interested in birds, until I got to see Emily, Ed, and Cheyenne together... It's so beautiful... 💚
I love how shes protecting her eggs
We love watching your channel in South Africa! Emily and Ed are always so informative. 👍🏻 Thanks for the great show. 💫
😅 the amount Ed poured out after Emily did was soo funny to me!! Yay!! Baby snake clutch!!! Love Emily's drawings on the eggs! Upside down...much talent! 😍
So glad we get hatching videos again. Best season of the year
So many eggs and babies this year! Fabulous! 🥰
Yay! More babies! I want all the baby hatching videos. Even those with "unexciting" genetics. Hatching videos are the best!
Blue beauties are so cool and adorable when they hatch! I want to go to your zoo soon! You guys are amazing ♥️
Yoooo! Y'all are printing the same Oddish flowerpots that my partner made for me! I've only got the one, but snake plants (ironically enough) seem to grow really well in it, since they have stronger roots that don't stick to the ridges on the inside of the pot like a lot of more delicately rooted plants do. Which means that the snake plants are a lot easier to move to a bigger pot later on when they grow big and strong.
Emily’s excitement over new eggs was what I needed in my day. ☺️
I think it's so amazing how the snakes feel comfortable laying in the zoo, they are cared for amazingly
So wholesome content😍😍👏👏💕 seeing Emily's MAD SKILL drawing n writing upside down, the snake kisses tryna be feisty 🤣, seeing the bird trashing markers and climbing up on the shoulder, seeing The beautiful clutch of eggs! Cannot wait to see them hatched.
Every time I see the blue beauties, I just fall in love with them all over again. Here's to another great clutch of sassy noodles!
The 'spooked' egg is actually supposed to be an Embarrassed Emoji, with blushing Cheeks. But it still looks cool! You made a NEW EMOJI!
As emily notices cheyenne and she just puts her hands on her and she says bonk 💜💜💜
Hi! I keep and breed blue beauties and every time female wraps around the clutch and acts defensive. As I know that is their typical behavour.
12:57 me with my refrigerator every time we get groceries
Blue Beauties are my favorite snake in appearance; not so much in attitude 🙂. Whoever named them certainly picked out the right name. How are 13 baby Blue Beauties going to fit in that little container when they start pipping? Even the babies are long for baby snakes. It will be interesting to see them all entwined on that small space. Fun fact ... I am actually very scared of snakes, as in run screaming in the opposite direction when I see one. But I love your channel and can speak pretty fluently regarding snakes and morphs and genetics. All thanks to Snake Discovery. And very weirdly, every so often, during a hatching video, I think I should get a baby hognose (normal is my favorite with axanthic a close second - I also prefer normal to conda unless it is a super conda). But reality sets in and I remember I run screaming from snakes and think it is probably best if I stay snakeless. 🙂
I was listening to music but saw this and had to click it. At least they found this clutch early and they look good. I'm surprised Juliet didn't try to attack them. I can't wait to see how sassy the babies are this time when they hatched. They finally finished the bag, that's great. Yay, emoji clutch. The last emoji clutch was with a bullsnake clutch. Nice to see some of previous blue beauty.
I’m so excited to see the babies! I love your channel!
I love the Oddish plantholders in the background! I recently finished crochetting a lifesize one🥰🥰
I am glad the sweaters seem to be working for Cheyenne
Preserve the eggshells in resin this time. Gently rinse them out, let them dry, then you can pour resin around them. It'll look awesome.
Yayyyyy some blue beauty babies!!! I’m so excited for you guys
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM HATCHHHHHH
This is quite iconic for me. I got my first snake last year only about a month before the first clutch. And now I just bought a baby male Vietnamese Blue Beauty about 3 weeks ago.
Those are such beautiful snakes! I don't think I'd ever want to own a snake, but if I did this would be a contender.
Yay blue beauties
Emily you are a fabulous artist, I'm impressed. As an artist myself, it makes me smile to see that you like art too!! Cheyenne with the markers was hysterical!!!! If only I lived nearby, I'd absolutely love to help you guys out with getting stuff done!!! There's only one thing I know of that I definitely couldn't help with, and that's using Chlorihexidine, because I'm allergic to it!!!! Would be awesome!!!
Eds voice overs are so funny lmao. Never change hahaha. Love to you both from across the pond x
Beautiful clutch from a beautiful snake!
Maybe you guys should do a experiment to see how the eggs would do in their enclosure with mama wrapped around. It looks moisturizing enough with that dirt. It would be interesting to see how it goes and if it works.
Sometimes the parents eats their babies and the eggs. They do it in the wild too... That's why they remove them from the enclosure... It's beautiful to see the mother protecting regardless 🙂
The Incubator of Holding has done it again. Perfect!
Such a pretty and protective snake~ Awesome~👍 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Yay!!! Can't wait to see them hatch in the future!!
My daughter is a big fan! She loves watching videos where the eggs hatch. Now she wants a pet snake. 😅
Love this channel!! Im actually now getting snake, so thanks to them!
My sister showed interest in snakes for the 1st time watching this video 😍 you guys just showed her that, maybe, reptiles aren't that bad. Thankyouu!!!
this is a subject i have been wondering about , if all snakes was like "whatever take my eggs i dont care" or if there was some snakes wich where protective over the eggs like Maternal instinct , she did give up pretty easy hehe
I wonder if the eggs being laid vertically is to minimize their contact with the ground? If I'm not mistaken, fungal issues can be common in that type of climate?
Id assume being close together helps with thermoregulation
BBs always look like they bite with a smile 💜
Romeo and Juliet's enclosure is what I would call, enchanting! So beautiful.
I'm impressed with Emily's ability to not get bitten. 😄 My VBB was a nutter.
Mine is too - very sassy!
OOH! I cannot believe they're eggs!! I'm so excited and I'm very hopefully that all of them will hatch into beautiful babies!! :D
Hi I watched so many of your videos my phone broke an I forgot about this channel I remember loving the video where rex went to the vet 3 years ago i loved reptiles one year ago i got my first gecko a leopard gecko and you guys inspired me to get a gecko that I named zilla i hope you read this 🦎 and i love Cheyenne
Wow more eggs! You guys are going to be overwhelmed by babies! I like it! We need more hatching videos!
… shouldn’t you look on the underside of the waterdish just to be safe that she hasn’t accidentally glued one of her eggs up?… amazing, look forward to hatchlings 🐍
How do you decide on price points for your different snakes? If it’s too private I understand but how much do you make with all your babies. I’m am not interested in breeding I’m just curious. Again if it’s too personal I understand maybe you could say like what average snake breeders earn.
I was just here! Wished I could've seen y'all before I flew back from Minnesota, blue beauties are amazing!
1:02 a very protective mama snake hehehe
Super exciting to see another clutch. My Ruka Boy is doing very well from the first Clutch he's gotten so big.
Congratulations on the clutch! Can´t wait for hatching videos to come. :-) Btw, this was the first time I´ve seen someone play Tetris with snake babies. :-D :-D
I love ur channel Emily and ed I've been watching you guys for years you guys are awesome!!
i love how slim and long those snakes are. makes them look so elegant
Love watching your videos and seeing the baby hatching
I'm so glad the little fun "facts" /shower thoughts at the end of the videos are back!
Shout out to whoever put the “Puzzle Progress” bar on the video! That’s some grade A editing, right there. ⭐️
I love that your birdy is still wearing her sweaters!
these r one of my absolute favorite snake species. beautiful.
YAY THE RIDDLES ARE BACK! That close up shot of musk almost made me yack 😁
Snake Discovery I am a huge fan I got fan mail for you I love you videos so much I try to watch you everyday you make me happy you're my favorite KZheadr thank you for all the amazing videos
Sometime you should do an eyeball clutch, like treat the eggs like giant eyeballs and draw irises and pupils on them so you can have a lot of large oddly shaped eyeballs looking up at you.
The sarcasm at the end 😂 but i still want one of those. They are so beautiful!
I love the eyes on the vacuum 😂 I love ur channel
Oh wow, these fellas were laid on my birthday. Thats awesome, I love the blue beauties, they're so sassy all the time
Hi Emily I’m Ashleigh and I’m 10 year old, I LOVE your videos I have been watching your about a year now. You have helped me so much with what I want to do bc I want to breed snakes and lizards just like you and maybe turtles are used to kind of be afraid of reptiles well just snakes now I love them. My favorite animal that You have is probably Cheyenne I just love her quirkiness I hope you three do well ❤️❤️
