Ed, probably: Great customer service. 10/10.
hahahahaha lmao xD Underrated comment
10/10 would marry again
Likhi Ondov 😂 XD
Juggling three jobs, a whole house of pets and a happy marriage, while all the while being a person that puts so much positive energy out there and seems to be pretty patient and passionate and caring. Emily, you really are admirable. Thank you for all your hard work!
This video has really made me think... I too left an awesome job with shitty coworkers, and since then I've been out of batteries... Sometimes people work better on their own
1000th like!!
She is so legendary
Didn’t even go to clown school for that juggling training. Impressive, especially for juggling an entire house
Your so beautiful
Is no one talking about Cheyenne being the ring barrier at their wedding?? That's awesome!
My Dog was the ring bearer at mine
I hope she flew down the isle!
@Hi hi I also have a ball python profil pic
ya so cool
Uh, not to be that person, but its bearer not barrier
Now we need "The Story of Ed."
Yaaaaa
Yess 👁️👅👁️
The saga of Ed and his romantic rival, Jacob, and how Ed conquered his rival to win Emily's heart is a story I MUST hear about!
"How Cheyenne stole Ed's wife"
WE NEED IT
Yes, yes yes yes yes do it do it wait, I’m gonna bring it up in another video then they’ll know we want them to do that
Who tf would make a sweet lady like Emily cry 😭 How mean do you have to be.. poor Emily
IKR??!! I’m SHOCKED!!!! ASSHOLES......🤬she seems SO sweet and her and her hubby look like they have a great marriage!!
not to be political but, the fact that she was a young woman in such a high position in this society,. , . ,. , .
Rafaela Pirillo I've found women bully worse than men. Especially being a younger woman at an office type of job. At the previous clinic I worked for, the older women were the absolute worst. Rude, arrogant, and very passive aggressive
Older women don't like being bossed around by younger women in management position. My wife gets walked all over all the time by her co workers that are older because she's a manager with less experience and younger age because she actually knows what she's doing and shoes initiative. People are just dickheads
@@parisinthe30sx same for my school
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE you met Ed at PetSmart and fell in love over parrots.
You two are the cutest. 🥰🦜🦜💙💚💛
Talk about lovebirds
LukeWarmPlayz I get your joke a love bird is a type of parrot
Now Ed needs to make a vid
death 0930 agreed
Do you think the Bird did this?🤔
When you said "if I am crying on my way home (from work) it's not worth putting up with" it hit close to home..
And later: "I kinda only worked there for a week and a half."
@@SoraShadowdancer 2 years actually, loll
I love how my petsmart had a phrase "don't marry the customer " meaning dont be with them to long and you literally did marry a customer XD
Ed was your first boyfriend? That's so sweet! I always see how well you guys work together and it's always really sweet how you talk about him, I'm so happy for you guys! Honestly, such a fairy tail romance ❤️ I love your videos! Thank you for your hard work! ❤️
Idk if it is a fairy tale, or a reptile tail. Some sort of tale/tail romance, tho!
I know right!! ❤️
Kimmaline 😂
CHICKENS!
JK Caroline amazing 👍🏻
Her: eats millions of cookies everyday
Gains no weight
Me: eats 1 cookie gains 50 pounds
Thats me ill eat 1 and poof im a dought ball
She is so skinny she might eat only one cookie a week though and nothing else.
Omg that’s me and my friend,she eats like tens of thousands of cookies a day and she gains no weight I eat 1 cookie and gain 10000 pounds like wtf
Wright
;v; we're alike
Omg u can hear her kinda on the verge of tears when she’s talking about the old job :( screw those ppl if they couldn’t see how cool u were!
Yeah!!!!
I agree you should not be sad emily we humans watching a phone or a tablet are her for you 🐍🐊🐍🐊🐍🐊
Emily: I met my boyfriend
The macaws: MOMMY HAS A BOYFRIEND😝
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣how funny
It makes me so sad to think someone could ever be mean to you, you genuinely seem like the most down to earth, and kindest person there is but I'm glad that everything happened the way it was because of where you have yourself now making a living out of your pets!!!
I couldn’t agree more! She’s a doll!
I was just about in tears hearing what those people did. It seems, imo, they must’ve been either jealous of her or just plain bitter over who knows what!
Exactly what I was thinking, she didn’t deserve that :(
This video is just omg, I think I fell in love with this girl, ( not romantically, I think her and husband are adorable) her energy her passion for animals and her lovely attitude, it’s just so infectious.

agreed
Same Emily and Ed are precious

*Cheyenne squawks indignantly*
I also love reptiles now
I love reptiles always have they're amazing
I’m a bird translator and she specifically said
*How dare you mother you hath betrayed me*
Technically she IS a reptile because birds evolved from reptiles
@@SpinosaurusSnake Birds did NOT evolve from reptiles, and if you believe that, you're dumber than a pile of rocks. Birds have always been birds, reptiles have always been reptiles. Every creature was designed by our wonderful God to be only what He created them to be. Humans, which were made in God's image, did not evolve from apes, nor did whales come from cows. Evolutionists only look at 1% of the scientific facts, so how is that professional?

Emily: What other animal can you feed once a week or once every other week and get away with it
Me: fish
And, they have those, too, but, you can’t really pick them up and hold them
My milksnake brings all the boys to the yard.
Yes. Puns are the best.
Omg so true except I have a simpsons python😂😁
And I’m like “It’s better than yours!”
Theyre like- its better than your
I can breed you, but ill have to charge.

Leaving a job because of the way managements treats you is one of the hardest but most rewarding things you could ever do. I worked somewhere that mistreated me and intentionally scheduled me on lousy days and leaving was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I can not stress how important it is to put your mental health before going into a job that makes you miserable. It's not worth it!
maggie angel that’s why I’m glad Emily decided to share her story with us. I feel like so many people put up with awful jobs because they think it’s “normal” and just how life is. I had an awful job before too, but I felt guilty about leaving. Luckily, I had friends who made me realize that my mental health and well being comes first. Company be damned.
I had to leave my last job because of mental health issues and still feel bad over it. My coworkers were awesome and I loved my job but the workload was so bad that I got really bad anxiety attacks on my last two days and never went back.
It sucks but at least you learn from the experiences!
I figure they were jealous of her or just plain bitter over who knows what, but, she’s got this great informative channel that I enjoy watching!
I couldn't agree more
Guarantee they were jealous of how much knowledge Emily has for wildlife..........im sure they saw her potential and were threatened. I swear i cant stand the pettiness of people. Emily is doing great being her own boss 😃❤

Emily...(andEd) you will never be boring. I have complex mental health issues and you no matter what subject matter your videos always bring a smile to my face. Your positive upbeat style is what makes people worldwide love you and your content

"Then i found the perfect job for me. A management position at a cave" . Im sorry but i lost it. Out of context this sounds too funny 😂😂
God Bless Ed; being the best hubby and supporter. NOBODY PUTS EMILY IN A CORNER.....or makes her cry
Hi Emily! I used to work at a PetSmart too, and let me tell you, that's where matches are made. One of my coworkers married a customer too and another has been dating her boyfriend who was a customer for almost two years! So if your looking for love, go to PetSmart. 😂
Wow
Noted
I also know someone who married someone they met at petsmart haha.
Wtf
It makes sense because everyone there shares at least one thing in common, ANIMALS!
I love how she says she ACQUIRES a bird.
_congratulations! _*_African Gray Macaw_*_ acquired!_
I kept thinking about that, too... x'D I guess she says 'acquire' as a catch-all term, bc some were probably bought, some were rescued, etc.
african grey parrots are not macaws
A true Pokémon master at heart 😂
What a great story. I quit a job and took a job that paid half as much due to how miserable I was at work. Best decision I ever made. Took bravery and the support of my now wife. :) Thanks for sharing your story. Much respect
6:13 Cheyenne seeks attention and kisses. There were many times before and many more to come.
Cheyenne should have her own channel.

This was not boring at all!
I fell in love with snakes especially BECAUSE they are so easy to take care of. I often am pretty tired from work - often doing night shifts and weird sceduling - and i love to just see my corn snake chill in his favourite cork bark tube. I lived with cats and dogs quite a while, realising, i was allergic, too but it didn't really click to get a reptile. I continued with rats after i left home, and took care of them for around 5 years. Never got into birds, actually.
But once i got a snake, every other pet seems less interesting now xD
Thank you so much for sharing your background with us! This was lovely!
Lots of greetings and a happy future to you all (Emily, Ed, Cheyenne, and all the other lovely reptiles there)
8:07 CHEYENNE AT YOURE WEDDING OMG I LOVE THATTT
This was a great video! I'm planning to make a similar video in a few months when I graduate (for the last time??). So cool (and brave) of you to share all of this. You're amazing!
Clint's Reptiles I love your vids!
Clint's Reptiles Graduating? Don’t you already have a PhD, Clint?
Lifelong students that we all are!
Thank you! I have a BS and an MS, but haven't quite finished my PhD (that will change soon).
Looking forward to it, Clint!
How could you think this video was “kinda boring”? It was absolutely fascinating to hear your story, Emily! I’m so glad things turned out well for you (and Ed, and Cheyenne, and the rest of the household)! You’re always a delight to watch and listen to!
Probably they are her management and coworkers at the cave who are jealous she is so happy and successful now😂
It's just so nice to see someone after working soo hard to reach her goals❤
I'm glad you and Ed found each other! You both are amazing and him supporting you and you guys creating what you have is beautiful and amazing and brings so much good to the world!
Emily: Snake Discovery Education, RUclips, and fairs - so I have three jobs.
You forgot to mention the snake breeding too! XD
Awwwwww that's so cute
"I married a customer"♥️
Emily - you are just such a gem of a human and I have learned SO much from you. Thank you for ending up where you are today. I can’t wait to come to the facility this summer. All the hugs and love to you and the whole fam!
I absolutely adore hearing about you and Ed! I’m also very happy you can do what you love, you two bring so much joy and knowledge to the world! Your passion and care show through and through!!!
I love when Cheyenne goes dancing
I can hear ed trying not to giggle at moments how sweet c:
I can’t get over how cute your story with Ed is! Y’all met over your passion, he’s been a big supporter of your career, and he loves the animals as much as you 💖
I appreciate you sharing your own experiences with us, it give me a little inspiration and enables me to enjoy your channel and all the fascinating content you have to offer, Thank You.
One more thing Emily... Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my email about whether to get a bull, pine or gopher snake. Your expertise means alot to me and I am happy to announce that I got a beautiful male Het Albino San Diego Gopher snake this past weekend. Thank you again!!! ✌✌
How did you get her email i cant find it. I am looking to ask her some questions
I just have to ask... what was the deciding factor between a bull and gopher, specifically? I've been on that fence for a year now and I still can't decide which route to go.
Love, go to snakediscovery.com.
It’s in the 3rd paragraph.
i totally feel you there, I've quit so many jobs because of poor management and I'm a sensitive person.
Shancai I am sooooooooooooooo sorry I’m a sensitive person to I get stressed out often 🤗 but that means you have a friend
My family absolutely loves ur channel my 4 year old is already learning so much I want to thank you and tell you ur doing incredible with everything I'm from pa and I'm excited for ur facility to be up and running.
Was not at all boring and as I am new to your videos in 2021, it was really interesting to find out more about your educationaly background. And how you met Ed too - so sweet how he has supported you and shares your love of reptiles. May you have many happy years together.
Cheyenne is so good at dancing!
I see your a man of culture, bayakua togami

As someone who has been playing the French horn for nine years, I almost blew a gasket when I found out you played, too. It's such an underappreciated instrument.
Both of you are so amazing! I love the joy, enthusiasm and genuine care y'all put into every video
I'm so happy about the path you ended up on because I love your videos! You are so sweet and so is Ed. And your videos are so informative without being boring at all. They're so interesting and I love it. Thanks! ❤
I thought it was cute that Cheyenne was the ring bearer at your wedding
Rip Janet the bullsnake.... anyone else in 2019?
Did she die? 😳😢
@@pc6054 Yeah, he died, i think it was some months ago :( I dont remember what Emily said exactly but before Brad and Peanut's batch of eggs were found out to be Brad and Peanut's, its mentioned Janet died some months back I believe
Me she died sadly 😞
When? I didn’t know until I read this comment! Rip Janet
Obviously we’re in 2019 you donut
You are truly an amazing person, you educate and inspire so many people including me! I have worked in a field I’m not really happy with and a person who treats me poorly and watching you and seeing you push to get to where you are working with animals and making people days better has really given me the ambition to start looking to make a change! Thank you Emily and Ed!!
Great Video Emily! I became a wildlife educator after working as a zookeeper for some years, essentially I ended up having as many animals at home as I had in my run at work so started visiting schools that where to far away to visit the zoo
Wicked Wildlife how did you become a zookeeper? What qualifications did you have to get?
Daniel Johnstone I was fortunate to learn everything on the job as I was not a great student
I started cleaning pens at a pet store at 14, then working for another reptile educator at 18 (I remember wagging school so I could work, taking animals to other schools😂) ended up working in several zoos before starting Wicked Wildlife
Your passion for your animals is very infectious. I was never interested in reptiles and yet i still watch all of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Crimz I couldn’t agree more!
Agreed! 😆
So true!😁
So happy to find your YT channel. Life takes us where we need to be, so the Cave job just was not meant to be. This is! Thanks for all you do Emily!
Emily, I have not seen one boring video on your channel. I simply love listening to you are learning from you. Keep up the good work.
My grandparents met because they had the same breed of dog 😭
lol.
Why sad face?
😂
LoL
🤣
I ended up doing a double take when I heard you had a bird named Oliver. Kind of a funny coincidence for me that you owned birds who were named "Cheyenne" and "Oliver".
@cheyenne Oliver XD
That's funny
You and Ed are an amazing team! This honestly is the first reason I got hooked on your RUclips channel by watching your relationship and how courteous and kind you are to each other.
Learning about the snakes came second to me because they’ve always scared me. Watching you both and learning from you is so much fun.
I want to come visit your zoo sometime and hold a few snakes. You make it look so fun.
It’s a blessing your cave job didn’t work out so we can all be a part of your world and you can teach so many more people!
Thank you so much for your way of being in the world and such great examples!!!
Not boring at all, it was great and inspiring to learn about the journey you took to get to where you are. Super cool, and I seriously love your husband and your passion for animals and education.
Hoping you'll be here (RUclips) for a long time to come. You're one of my favorite channels to check in with, and getting to know more about your history was fascinating.
Hello from Japan! I am a snake lover in Japan and I love your videos❤️
Thank you for sharing your story！ Amazing!
WAIT A MINUTE
I think I saw one of your little snake pesonations at a library when I was like 4 or something!!!!
cooooooool
dude thats cooool
i wish i was you
This is a very inspiring video, Emily. You make me wanna do what you do. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! You are one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever come across. Who knows how many people have gone from being scared of reptiles to loving and caring for them in any way they can because of you. You have been a very big part of my journey from super scared of snakes to helping a little garter snake across the road and relocating a tarantula and dreaming of one day owning one of those cute little hoggies. Thank you so much for sharing your passion, it is contagious and does so much for the reptile community as a whole. And tell Ed thank you for encouraging you! He is amazing as well!
Why did this make me cry? This is so uplifting! Oh my gosh my hormones. I found Emily's videos on a rare chance. I was terrified of snakes and would probably kill any snake I seen until I started watching her videos. I mean I hated snakes, but her love and appreciation for these animals have made me grow fond of them too. She does an incredible job.
Can u do like a snek meme compilation w all the *blelelelelele* and *privacy plz* and all the commentary ? I n e e d to prove to my family that danger noodles are cute and adorable 🙏🙏🙏

Why have they not done this yettt!

Yeees
It's only watching this video again 2 years later that I've noticed just how humble & shocked you still sounded that things took off and became successful the way they did. And that you were able to have your dream job whilst living & loving life & having many pets to love too! You have earned this success and happiness, revel in it. Massive congratulations & a huge well done 👏xx
Just watching this I can tell how much you put into your business and it’s really payed off 💕

Emily, you are my favorite RUclipsr. You inspire thousands of people.
Thank you so much for sharing! My husband and I got married very young and started a construction business (he is a fifth generation plasterer). We now have 3 & 5 year old daughters and I am a stay at home mom. They (and I) love critters and your channel has been an educational inspiration to them! I used to raise cockatiels, canaries and parrots and now we have a variety of pets including my 17 year old Timneh. We recently decided to pursue our long time desire into snake ownership as well, thanks in part to your channel! Can’t wait to visit you guys in the near future!
Me: searches for "mac"

you know what, just check “Baby Bullsnakes Hatching! They’re he feistiest ones EVER...” out. She’ll mention Janet dying.
Really enjoying your channel, my daughter and I are also animal lovers and have a small but growing collection of various creatures from an almost 20 year old corn snake to dogs and everything in-between. Your past job situations really resonates with me.
Thanks for your awesomeness x
It was NOT BORING AT ALL! I loved learning about how you got to where you are today! 🤩
You’re amazing, Emily. Lots of love to Cheyenne too 🤣❤️
Always a pleasure to see Cheyenne in the beginning
Not boring at all!!! It is cool to see the steps you did to be where you are today 🥰
OMG You talked as if you really loved what you did! I hope you don't lose sight of what keeps you going and if you do, I hope Ed will be there to support you again! You inspire me
Hey Emily,
I wanted so badly to geek out with you during this video! I’m in south central MN if you ever want to get together and chat about how amazing and satisfying it is to build independent educator careers and programming based on our passions. I saw you were very recently in Owatonna, just 30 minutes away from my hometown.
Congrats Emily! Almost to 1,000,000 subs! Great to hear your story, thanks for sharing!! 🐍
You are a force of nature, Emily. A true herp hero. Love what you do!
