As Jupiter's original owner, I'm so glad she got to spend her last years in such a wonderful place and that she's continuing to educate people even now. She was such a good program snake for me, and kids loved her. Well, everyone loved her. And reading through the comments here, it looks like she touched many more hearts than I ever would have thought possible.
Why'd you give her up she was so beautiful she did touch many hearts including mine rip baby girl I miss you so much😭😢
@MearaLee-fc9cs when my parents moved states they couldn't keep her and I wasn't allowed to have snakes in my apartment, so we found her another home. I guess he seriously overfed her and then gave her to SD for some reason. I missed her every day and will even more now, but I'm glad she made it to Emily and Ed instead of staying with that other guy.
I'm so glad you were able to give her to Ed and Emily! They are the most wonderful people on the planet in the world of reptiles and other offbeat animals!
So cool that you got to own Jupiter before snake discovery is awesome
Much love, thank you for allowing us all to enjoy Jupiter ❤
when Emily said "she'll be able to teach people one last time" that broke me. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace Jupiter & Brad 🐍💚
That's what finally got my tears going ❤
She will be able to teach people one last time rest in peace you two gals I love you you will be missed by all of the people who loved you
R.i.p
😭
😭
As a vet professional, there is nothing worse than losing an animal from surgery, then having to make hard decisions for another animal we love with complicated medical conditions. I'm so sorry for your losses.
i'm in school to become a vet tech, but still in the vet assistant phase of the course! if i remember correctly, anaesthesia is particularly risky for exotics like birds and reptiles. anaesthesia in itself is incredibly stressful and risky; i can't imagine yet how much is involved in monitoring an exotic patient during induction and recovery
@@dragonlover7196 all anesthesia is a risk. We can make it as safe as possible but it is never without risk
I technically lost my American bulldog who was only 6 and l don't remember life without him in surgery😢
Now I got the most crazy pet pug 🐕
I lost him due to bone cancer
@@belladeejesse4415 I am sorry for your loss, thats tough
This made me cry. The OG pair of Brad and Janet are together again. Been watching for years, and it feels like the end of an era. RIP to Jupiter, Brad, and Omnomlette. Sorry for your loss, Emily and Ed. I'm glad that you have babies to keep their legacy going.
😭😭😭😭😭
I am gonna miss them so much! But wait Omnomlette passed!?!?
@@anabelacerqueira2165Old comment so I apologize, but yes sadly Omnomlette passed away due to her accidentally double-clutching and then having a major health-crash.
The bittersweet side to it is that they decided to keep one of the babies from her second clutch.
@@TheChildofAuraReborn thank you for letting me know 🥲
I've been following for like.... 5 years now? To hear that Brad is gone, it really does feel like the end of an era.... Janet and Brad were some of the OG snakes we met...
So sorry for your loss. ❤
Same. Only the OG's and people who watch this video, will know whom they are. The new people, wont know them at all. This truly was, an end of an era.
The end of "Brad and Janet" era...I miss hearing those words from Emily a lot during the older Snake Discovery videos I started watching this channel on
Brad did not die he will soon though fly high Jupiter though
@@LorenzoLuna-cw6fzWatch the whole video
There big sweet hearts rest in peace girls
As a 23 yr old person with cancer, can confirm life just sucks sometimes. I'm the youngest person by many decades in any oncology waiting room I go into aha. Very sad to hear the news but I'm happy you let Brad live for a bit longer and I hope you gave her all the love in the world in that time 💕
I know someone suggested this last time there was a video like this but I really hope you have a memorial place somewhere in the shop or the zoo for all the animals that have passed. It'd be such a lovely thing to keep their memory going.
A memorial (maybe a plaque of names or names and pictures?) would be wonderful to commemorate all the animals that have taught so much to so many. That's a really lovely idea!
I’m 12 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (b type) and life does really suck sometimes-
Had stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, I hear ya. ❤Keep your head up and keep fighting!
to you and anyone else battling cancer right now, i wish you successful treatments and permanent remission
the love of my life had childhood leukemia and recovered. Keep up hope, I know it might not mean much from a random RUclips commenter, but lovely things happen everyday along with the horrors. I hope you get better or at least feel well for as long as possible and have many happy times@@WrenIsABird
It's so sad Brad wasn't able to live into her twenties, but she made it through 3 surgeries and had been battling cancer for a while. You always do everything you can and work with a great vet to provide the best medical care possible. Brad had a great life at Snake Discovery and it was just her time to go. She was such a big part of the family and I'm sure she'll be remembered fondly by many fans.
As for Jupiter, she was old and her system just couldn't recover from general anesthesia. It happens, it's very normal. You tried your best. She was such an impressive animal - a massive sweetheart in very sense of the word. She will be missed, too.
Rest in the warmth of Summer Jupiter, Omnommlet, and Brad.
Ed and Emily, I'm so sorry for your losses. Spirit be with you, and Awen inspire you.
What happened to omnomlet I was trying see if there was a vid but there isnt
@@Acesnake1783rrpassed away
What happened to Omnommlet??
Omnomelet had an accidental second clutch and passed away, she was very weak after.
@@Ballpython_love Oh no!!! She was my favorite.
Brad watching Jane strike the camera at the end like, “Yeah, that’s my girl!”
Jeez…this really is like the ending of an era for a lot of OG Snake Discovery fans. 🥺
May you rest in (still slightly feisty) peace, Brad. Say hi to Janet for us. 🖤
Nah, she just said "Yesssssssssssssssssssssss" (because she's a snake...)
This actually brought me to tears. I can't believe she is gone. Rest in paradise Brad, Jupiter, and Omnomlette. Give a hiss to Janet and Nick for us in reptile heaven 🕊️ And for all our other scales babies such as Popeye, Sabel, and Still Naughty
Brad and Janet are together again ❤
And Still Naughty! Why everyone forgetting poor Still Naughty?☹️
Hiss to Sabel for me Brad and Nupiter you both will be missed love your best loves where your not in pain and can be with whom you love
All my favs are gone now and I'm sad about that god why you take them res t in peace beautiful ones rip nick Popeye still naughty omnomlette brad Jupiter and janet you will never be forgotten
@@ashesdust227aww I loved still naughty
Rest in peace Jupiter and Brad. 😭 when she took her sticker off her enclosure, I lost it and seeing Brad's cancer lumps just did me in. 💚🐍🐍
I am a physician for humans, not animals. We have really old people, and for some of them I was the one to advise the switch to palliative care. The knowledge that we did our best to make it possible for them to pass in peace and without pain gives me a feeling of peace. I hope you can get the same, knowing that Brad didn’t have to fight and suffer.
I'm Australian, and was raised with the fear of god of snakes... yet here I am sobbing over these two sweethearts.
Rest in peace, babies
Wow I was raised to hate snakes but I now own a snake because of them I cried because I was imagining the pain of a lost one wxperialy snakes as they are a lifelong commitment
I feel ya
I am a 41 year old man and shed multiple tears over Brad and Jupiter. Thanks for all you do!
I'm 13 and whenever I was sad I would watch Brad and jupie videos on their channel and now I just can't believe it I'm in tears may they rest in peace
As a person who had a massive tumor that expanded to my heart, and even my cat had leg cancer… It’s a really hard time to go through, i was extremely lucky to live since my case only happened less than 1% of the time… 😢❤😢❤
As a person who has been watching Emily and Ed for around 4 ish years the OG snakes are all the best its so hard to let go the favorite OG pets I've lost 2 rabbits 1 snake and a dog in 6 years rip Jupiter and Brad you was loved by millions of people
As upsetting and sad as this video is, I'm definitely glad you guys took us through this little end to a journey with you. Brad and Jupiter were fantastic snakes and their legacies will live on thanks to you two and the channel
I am so sorry. I know how it feels to lose a pet, especially one you loved and cherished for years. Edit I had to wait to see who it was, rest in peace Jupiter. You were a good snake. And Brad? I can’t imagine how horrible that must be.
Exactly im WAY younger than them and I’ve had that wave including both animal and human you never get use to it even years later you still feel it I had a pet for a couple days well a spider and he was taken away from hi family to soon and sadly passed and it was unexpected even the one you plan for a while they hit hard I’m so sorry neither of them made it but just remember they aren’t suffering anymore rest in peace Brad and Jupiter
@@angiemercer9006I lost both of my cats two months apart this year. I just have 1 of my original 3. We rescued a barn kitty last month, so I have 2, but it won’t be the same. And I think one of my dogs is on her last leg. She’s 9, but she’s been slowing down even more than she normally is. She’s been acting old since she was 2 (aka barely an adult) but she’s just been older recently. Spending her days just napping, not getting into trouble or running around. 2023 has been such a harsh year for many people. Many Internet cats have passed this year, I lost two of my own, and my neighbour lost his to cancer. Only thing I can say is that you can get used to death, it doesn’t mean it hurts any less, but you definitely get used to it. Specifically in vets, nurses, doctors, and other jobs similar to those, but it’s not exclusive to those careers
Rest in peace two of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen 😭
Rest in peace Jupiter and Bradley, you will be missed
jupiter passed, bradley will be missed soon
@@phoenixrising341 they said by the time the video comes out Brad will have been euthanized sadly
yes... :(
Rip
Sweet babies I'm sooo sorry for you're loss
Both Jupiter and Brad lived long and loved lives. Emily and Ed gave them both the love and home they deserved. With that being said my heart broke when Emily said "she'll be able to teach people one last time". RIP Jupiter and Brad. You'll live on in these videos and in our hearts.
I've been watching for 3-4 years and i cant get over how sad it is see them go.
Just reading the title and seeing the intro made me sad. Cancer in snakes and others is extremely depressing!
I’ve always wanted a snake, but recently I’ve been seeing sickness and cancer is very common and that is hard. I don’t want to have to deal with a loss like that again.
Cancer in anyone/thing is never a good thing 😢 hugs
Cancer in any creature is heartbreaking, but there's sadly not much we can do about it. Hugs for all 🫂
[On a lighter note, our pfps match]
At times? I know what you mean, the wordings just…
@@Lyr1c1sg4y wdym
I was doing ok until Emily said “She’ll be able to reach people one last time” and I couldn’t stop crying 😭 I’m so sorry, they lived incredible lives and made incredible differences.
I think she said teach? But yes you could see Emily's emotion in that moment too 😢😢
Yes she will she and brad and all the others that have passed deserved to live their lives to the fullest they could rest in peace to the animals snake discovery has lost we love all of you especially you Emily and ed and your awesome employees you take care of all your animals and did the best you possibly could for them love you guys 💓💖💗❤💛💚💙💜💝💞💟
That’s when her death really hit. I don’t really remember her but I’m glad she can be appreciated, even after death.
I bet there are so many snakes and reptiles in loving, well educated, homes right now, because of Brad, and Janet, and Omnomlette - a generation of Godsnakes all around the world.
rest in peace to those amazing sneks. they were very loved and adorable. they had great lives with you,you took good care of em. we love you brad and jupiter
Lamento muchísimo lo que acaba de ocurrir en lo personal amaba ver a Bradley en los videos.... A júpiter también.... Ellas sabían que estaban en buenas manos con ustedes así que el tiempo que estuvieron con ustedes fueron felices. Emily AND Ed. Gracias por rescatar y por dar ese ejemplo de amor a los animales.
Before I “met” you guys I would have never cried over a snake. Today I’m crying over two. I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I wish I could give you all hugs right now.
REAL IM CRYING SO BAD
Right? ❤
Found would be a better word
It was mentioned in the adoptathon stream that it was Bradley's last couple of days but it doesn't make things any easier. Brad and Jupiter really lived their best lives with Snake Discovery and that's all we, as viewers/fans, can ask for. I know it still hurts deeply though. I lost my furry sidekick, my dog, April 13, 2021 and I miss her every day. I wear a necklace with her photo and a small amount of her ashes to keep her with me all the time. All the fuzzy, scaley, feathered, and smooth(? hairless? 🤔) babies sure do leave their mark on your heart!
RIP Bradley, now reunited with Janet (and Peanut, I think?), and RIP Jupiter, you big, amazing beauty!
Also, congrats Dougie boy on your new digs! Let us know what you'd like for housewarming presents! Rats, right? It's gotta be rats. 😂
Is peanut gone?
Does anyone know if Peanut is still alive?
@@Kronkgirl I think so but maybe not. I know he's elderly but I could swear I heard recently that he was gone. I only found out recently about Popeye too, from an older video where he was mentioned as having passed before the facility was finished.
I believe Peanut and Popeye both passed. Peanut before the facility, and Popeye after iirc.
I forgot peanut how dare I do that I hate my brain sometimes 😭😢😞😟😩
i really didnt think i would be crying over a snake video today but loosing brad, one of the first snakes i remember on this channel since ive been watching in 2018. im so sorry for your loss guys
Janet❤, Brad❤ and Onomlete❤ were some of my favourite reptiles on the channel 😢... We will miss you, thank you for the moments we spent with you... Rip Jupiter ❤
What!?!?!? Is omomlete died?
Yes sadly they posted on Nov 3rd in a hoggie egg video they were omnoms last babies apparently she doubled clutched and went down hill fast rip
I’m sorry you lost a friend in Jupiter, and a long time friend in Bradley. My little hognose Dunsparce died yesterday sadly so I feel your pain pretty raw myself right now.
I am sorry for your loss! 🙏🐍🌼
RIP his soul 🕊️🕊️
Sorry for your loss. Also, that was a good name for a hognose.
I'm so sorry.Heartbreaking 😢
I'm so sorry, sending hugs!
Goodbye Brad, Jupiter, and Omnomlette you are all legends and made us all happy and well educated. all of you will stay in our hearts❤
It wasn’t omnomlette, it was still naughty. I got confused and looked back and still naughty was the one who passed during burmation. I believe Omnomlette had a clutch this year
@@Night-1331 Yes it was. Omnomlette double clutched and went downhill
@@Night-1331they announced her death recently. She crashed after her double clutch this year. But I totally forgot about Still Naughty :(
@@cloudedfreedom6286omnomlette passed?? Was this announced in a video? I’m so sad I loved omnomlette 😭😭😭
@@cherndon0815 mhm, one of the recent baby clutches :(
I remember being excited to see Brad's babies when they were still in the house. It feels so long ago, but so short. I'm sorry for your losses.
Thanks for making videos about the sad and difficult parts as well as the fun parts of keeping animals. I think it’s important for people to see this and you handle it with such grace.
I'm sorry for your losses. I know Brad was one of the OG snakes. Cancer sure stinks. One of my dogs had bone cancer and had to put him him down in April 2020. Trying to find a vet at that point was hard enough. Then his brother had a massive seizure 5 months later and we lost him too. Losing pets after having them for 13+ years is devastating.
Yeah both of my mice had cancer and passed at 1 and 2 years old
My snake also had cancer I’m not sure what kind of cancer, but it was a baby lavender, she was my favorite kind of snake 😢 I miss her so much
Her name was Disney 😢
Lost a cat to bone cancer a few years ago. 😢😢😢😢
I'm so sorry. That was hell times to go through. Pets are a slice of heaven. Losing them...
Balance in life is not always "nice" 😔
Be well.
I had a cat who was 18 in October 2019 when I had to have him put down due to cancer. I'd had him his whole life. Cancer sucks.
It's always hard to lose a pet. Cancer is horrible. At least you know Brad had the best life possible. And Jupiter had a great retirement. Thank you for sharing the the hard part of animal care. I'm very sorry for your loss.
As sad as this, I appreciate how dedicated Snake Discovery is maintaining the best lives for your animals. I don't have any snakes, lizards, frogs etc beyond wild ones that around my house, but watching your videos bring me joy.
I’ve been watching for years, and I appreciate the honesty and care y’all put into your videos. I’m so sorry about the losses you’ve suffered this year. My great grandma always told me bad things come in threes so hopefully it’s awhile till threes visit you again sending love to you and the rest of the animals at the zoo!!
I’m so sorry Emily and Ed, I know how hard it is to deal with one of your beloved snakes having cancer. She looks like she isn’t in any pain or is suffering thankfully but it’s still upsetting that her cancer is getting worse :( sadly I think the best thing to do is put her down, breaks my heart to say.
I’m so, so glad you put your animals well being and quality of life up front. RIP Jupiter!🐍❤️ And RIP Brad!🐍❤️
Sending comfort and love to you guys. Thanks for sharing your world, even the tough parts.
Owning animals brings so much joy...but nothing ever prepares you for the loss. RIP Brad 💔 RIP Jupiter 💔
Obviously you're not going to see this comment but like everyone else. I am so sorry for your loss. For Omnom, Brad and of course Jupiter. You honestly have no reason to be sorry, you show all parts good and bad and people need to see that to know what to expect. It's so sad to hear about all the loss and we hope the best for you, for Ed and everyone who mourns the loss of those lovely snakes. Take care and take your time to mourn.
Been watching for so many years now. Im so sorry for you loss 😢 may Brad live on in her babies.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love and hugs to Emily, Ed, and the staff during this difficult time.
RIP Jupiter and Brad, you girls will be missed and have made an impact on millions of people
I'm sorry for your losses. Maybe it's a small comfort to know that your videos saved my cornsnake. He was still a baby and his face was developing weirdly, and thanks to your videos I knew something was seriously wrong and took him to a specialized vet. The vet removed a pretty big tumor, you can still see the dent 4 years later and he can't see out of his right eye. He'll always have a crooked face, and his aim when feeding is terrible, but thanks to you he survived and he's living his best life
Im so sorry for you. I've been in tears watching this, i can only imagine what it feels like for you. Big hugs to you all they had the best home they could have wished for xx
RIP Brad and Jupiter. All my favorite snakes are dying. I'm literally crying 😭
Sending lots of love to Emily, Ed, and the staff during this difficult time. Its really awesome that Jupiter was able to continue to teach people even after her life ended. One of the things I have always loved about Snake Discovery is the educational component of the channel, not only educating people that reptiles aren't creepy crawly slimy things, but have personalities just like your dog or cat might.
On a happy note, congratulations, Doug, on your well deserved retirement! I hope Allie, who is obviously always a very fancy lady, knows how much of a celebrity her new upstairs neighbor is.
As someone who’s having to put down a family reptile tomorrow due to cancer as well, I’m so sorry. I hope you guys heal well from this
Im sorry for your loss :< Much love to you!
Been here since I was 6, and seeing Brad and Jupiter go…i can’t even understand how you are holding up. I grew up with you, Emily and Ed, and seeing such heartbreak and sadness hurts me too. You two are by far the best, kindest and most compassionate people I have ever seen. I hope you know that you gave Brad and Jupiter a good life and a good home. You both are my childhood, my hero’s even. And I hope you know much we, your followers, love you.
Sincerely,
Someone who grew up watching you ❤
Rest in peace Jupiter and Bradley ❤ also, I’m really glad to see Doug! Even under sad circumstances. He’s my fave. Happy retirement dude!
Hi... Sorry for your loss.
I used Omnomlette and other snakes in an activity with my students as an example to understand the way genetics work, shortly before I learnt she had passed
I'll make sure to include Brad when I teach them how cancer work, this way they're both going to teach even more kids even now.
Get some well deserved rest, I send you lots of love.
This has been such an awful year. It's sad to see Jupiter and Brad go, but I'm glad they lived the lives and do all the things that they did! It was good to see them both so lively and oblivious one last time.
So very sorry for your loss. I have followed you for years and I'm going to miss both
So sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing their stories. Sending you lots of love.
Losing a pet can be so hard. Especially when you’ve had them for so long. Hopefully you guys are okay. Rip Jupiter and Bradley
Well, I wasn't expecting to spend my Friday night WEEPING over two snakes, but here we are.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Brad and Jupiter will be remembered with love. They were such good snakes, and you gave them good lives. It's so hard when a pet crosses the rainbow bridge, but I know they went with happy memories of being well-fed, safe, warm, and loved so very much by so very many. ❤❤❤
R.I.P Brad and Jupiter. Brads angry hisses will never be forgotten, and neither will Jupiters gentleness. 😢❤
I am so sorry I know how it feels to lose somebody like that it has happened to me a lot and you guys keep strong and remember the times you had with them rest in peace
I am so sorry. I have one very elderly snake and I am happy for every moment he is still here. 28 years old and still going strong, old man Nipper.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier. Happy Retirement to Doug. I hope he enjoys delighting all the guests. He's such a good ambassador.
I’m so sorry for your loss guys 😢 what incredible little souls they were. Thank you so much for sharing them with us ❤
Rip Brad and Jupiter
I’m very sorry for your guys loss!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine recording this video and keeping it together like you did; seeing Emily blinking back tears was just… But you made sure you did the best you could by the animals, and that’s what makes you good people.
This channel means so much to me. One of my favourite channels on RUclips. Best of luck with all the animals 💚💚💚
Jupiter and brad will be missed 😢
I’ve been watching this channel for years. It was the best thing to you. You guys are the sweetest to these loving reptiles. It is heartbreaking that Brad didn’t make it. Same as Jupiter. Rest in peace to those wonderful snakes. Maybe some point in the future we can have a best moments video of each of the fan favorite passed snakes that way we all have something to turn to when we miss them💚🐍
My condolences on your losses. Even in your sadness, you are still sharing and teaching us; thank you.
As hard as this is on us, it's gotta be worse for y'all to live out. Thank you for sharing. Brad and Jupiter educated many and will be remembered not just by them, but even by so many ppl yet to come still. And they made us smile- I most remember Jupiter from shenanigans where Logan fed her with his boot rat. And Brad will def have her personality remembered in diarrhea Jane 😂 Thank you for sharing, I'm sorry for your loss
Im so sorry about Brad.
Edit: I just got to Jupiters death and I’m so sorry but she is no longer suffering and that’s good but I’m still so sorry and I hope you can get through it without to much grief. We will all miss her so much. I’m so sorry Emily. I wish I could give you a hug right now. Edit 2: I’m also so sorry about Brads death I hope it will get better soon we will all meet thinking about you❤
What about Jupiter?
@@Th3riannn_ she passed away sadly
You are right she is no longer suffering neither of them are rest in peace beautiful girls
@@MearaLee-fc9cs at least there not suffering
No they are not suffering anymore snake discovery did the best thing for Brad they put her out of pain that was the kindest thing that they could do for her
I’m so sorry for your loss. They both had the best lives with you as their humans. I will miss Brad spicy ways
Aww we will all miss poor Jupiter and love her. Even if she made it we will all be sending prayers
I’ve been around since a couple years before Janet passed, it’s hard to watch these beautiful animals that you love so dearly get old and pass on. It’s an honor to see their legacy live on in Hannah, Jane, and their other kids and grandkids ❤❤❤
I still remember watching the video where Emily talked about Janet passing, and how absolutely crushed she looked and sounded when she said it. Our animal companions mean so much, it’s always hard to say goodbye.
This is so sad. Because coincidental I’ve had a scaly friend named Pluto, I was watching this with him on my shoulder. To figure out that Jupiter is unfortunately not here with us anymore is horrible! I understand how long you had Jupiter and I hope you and the rest of the staff cope well! I’m sorry for your loss, I hope to spended as much time with Brad as possible and so did the Staff. I’m so sorry this happened Emily
:(
I'm really behind on my videos, so I'm sorry I'm only getting to this now. You are fantastic keepers and you show your love and care for all of your animals every day. This is one of the reasons that makes your channel such a joy to watch even in the hardest of times. I'm struggling through my own grief as well as I had to put my 15 year old dog down about a month ago. I had been hoping she would make it to her 16th birthday in May, but it was her time to go. I'm glad I still had her for another Christmas and that my brother got to see her in decent health before he went back home. She had been with me almost half my life and I raised her from a 2 month old puppy. My sweet cuddlebug. She'd been sick for a year and a half as her health gradually deteriorated and I had to keep track of all of her various medicines and hand feed her an assortment of foods to keep her eating. I kept fighting for her despite the emotional stress and monetary costs since she was still showing that she enjoyed her treats, and her snuggles and still had stretches of time where she was acting like her silly self, just a bit slower. During the cold snap/winter snows in January, her health tanked, and I had to start seriously considering if her quality of life had just deteriorated too far. After a particularly bad night, the vet told me she maybe had a week to live and I should begin making arrangements. I wasn't able to get her to eat after that vet visit, and the next day she had a seizure and was not herself anymore. I took her to the vet, and made the decision to give her peace after such a long fight. Pets really are such a big part of all of our families and I'm sure you're missing your scale babies as much as I'm missing my furry one (even if she had been starting to go bald in the end days). My lizards (2 leopard geckos - 1 an APTOR morph I bought from a breeder and the other a rescue - and an African Fat Tail Gecko) have been helping me to cope, but it just isn't the same. I know it's been a few months, but my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your team, and for all who are caring for the sick and elderly in their lives. I'm doing ok, and I do plan to get another dog again in the future, I'm just taking some time off of dog owning to do all of the things I wasn't able to do while I'd been caring for her.
Oh i am so sorry for you. Pets thatve been with you for so long❤️
Lots of hugs and love to you and your team❤️
I couldn't stop crying after hearing about Jupiter's passing. Both Jupiter and Brad were amazing snakes to see in your videos. May they rest in peace 🕊️
RIP Jupiter + Brad. Thank you for giving them a wonderful life, they were very lucky snakes and I'm sure they appreciated you a lot
Oh my stars! 😭 I haven't been here from the beginning but I do remember them. Hugs, loves and hisses to all at Snake Discovery from this McMinnville, Oregon fan.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I could hear it in your voice. I love Doug :) I was so excited to see him through...only thing that helped me through it.
I’m sorry guys. I’m sitting here wrapping Christmas presents sobbing. Thank you for being so kind and educational even in the face of sadness.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jupiter and Brad. As a cancer survivor, Brad's story really hits home for me. She fought so hard and she did so well. Rest in peace, sweet noodle girls.
Ed and Emily, I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that you gave these snakes wonderful lives. You took amazing care of them and educated so many people about these beautiful animals with their help. You are awesome humans.
i'm sorry for the loss you have endured this year. may next year be better, and may they always be in your heart
I’m so incredibly sorry, I can tell how absolutely devastating these losses are…sending good vibes and health for you and all the animals ❤
I'm a pet groomer and I understand the pain of a sudden loss. It hurts even if they aren't your pets. Just interacting whether it's in person or on video you form a bond with these animals. My heart goes out to the Snake Discovery team, and I hope the new year brings the positives to outweigh these negatives.
Poor babies! I’m so sorry Emily and Ed. I hope you all can stay strong through this pain.
I’m glad we got to have so many good moments with those wonderful old girls.
Yes we did have many good moments with them and all the others that have passed away ❤💖💗💙💚💛💜💓💕💟
I’ve been watching this channel so long and you guys have really allowed the animals to have such an emotional impact on us. The animals were loved and were themselves until the end. This loss is a hard one for everyone. So sorry for your losses 💔
I still remember meeting Jupiter during a class around 2018 at the U of M! I got to take a few photos posing with her and her calm personality is what made me love snakes. RIP to the two sweet babies!
This wave is taking the ogs, I’m proud of you guys for having the courage to keep going in spite of all this loss
Oh you guys, I'm so sorry. 😢 You gave them such wonderful lives while you had them. They will be missed. On a positive note, I hope Doug loves his new retirement home. He's such a good boy and he deserves it❤
I’m so sorry for your loss 😭 No one could’ve cared for these snakes better than you guys. You give them so much love and compassion. Poor babies, we’ve adored them for years. Thank you for loving them until the very end.
As for podcasts: Small Town Murder is one of my favs!
Oh this is heartbreaking I'm so sorry 💔. You gave them both incredible lives. May they both sliver free
I am so sorry about Jupiter. When I worked at a vet, we had a dog come in for a neuter surgery. He was fine before,during, and right after surgery. But just like Jupiter, he passed in the time span between checks. During the necropsy, the vet found an underlying condition the dog had. Things just happen sometimes and it sucks.
I'm so sorry for your losses but I'm glad they passed in comfy ways and in great care.
My old cat Rocket lasted us 2-3 years.. he got lost outside٫ my dad found him under are deck. A week later we found out he had a blood clot. We put him down. His sister Moon was in depression. So we got another cat٫ he got fib. Its a disease to cats٫ he was $350 we spent over $10K to keep him alive. A couple months ago we got a Maine Coon٫ he had herpes. Its getting better. We hope they live for another 20 years. But now I realize life doesn't last forever.
R.I.P Jupiter and Brad 🕊🌿
How terribly, terribly sad. Brad has been such an incredible gal to get to know, and Jupiter was just such a sweetheart! Doug will love his new digs, and he’s worked hard to earn his retirement ❤ Speaking as a vet tech student, thank you for donating Jupiter’s body for other students to learn from. Your constant work toward education goes beyond goodbye, and I’m sure I speak for many other students when I say how much you’ve impacted and inspired us! The students at your vet’s clinic gained invaluable knowledge from your gift. Sending so much love in this really sucky time.
"She'll be able to teach people one last time" hit me like a truck and now I'm sobbing. It is so hard to expect to pick up your pet from the vet but come home without them, so I'm sorry you had to go through that Emily. 💔 As for Brad... Brad & Janet are synonymous with Snake Discovery from back in the OG days before the zoo, and I'll always be thinking of them as part of your legacy. Much love to you both. I hope to come up to the zoo soon and visit Doug in his new retirement home!
I hope the vet students will know how special she was. Now she will help saving future lives.
I started crying while watching this. I am so sorry for your loss, guys. But Jupiter lived a long, great life. All thanks to you guys. She was a happy girl. And Bradley was so well taken care of. They are both great snakes! Thanks for caring for these animals, Emily and Ed.
My condolences to you. It really does come in waves--we lost three animals on the farm where I work within the last couple months
Gosh I'm so sorry to hear this. Brad and Jupiter were excellent snakes and taught many people; They have so many videos we can reference back to. It's impressive how long both of them have lived and how tame they were even with Brad's sassiness! At least they can both be with Janet and Nick. May they rest in peace and I hope you take some time to grieve.
R.I.P. sweet Brad and Jupiter😞💝💝
