Don't mind me getting teary eyed when Rex was playing with her Jolly ball
Same !!! I can’t wait to see it in person one day !
SAME
Sam where.. it was just so cute. I think rex enjoyed it too
Same here 🥺 SO CUUUT
12:30
The dome is Rex's own personal human zoo. She gets too see so many fascinating humans through it.
Wow never thought of it that way but so true
such good enrichment!!!!
"Why do they get to walk around but not me?"
@@rachelm6734 Or it's the opposite - when there's a child in the pop-up tube, Rex thinks "this human is stuck in this tiny enclosure, while I can walk all the way around her. I could even swim if I wanted. This human must have such a boring life."
@@rachelm6734 (Seriously though, Rex might get to leave her enclosure sometimes for programs, but in her her old home, Emily said she never tried to escape her bedroom, even though she could see through the open door. Alligators are very territorial, Rex needs to stick to her territory so she can protect it!)
Rex is the happiest crocodilian I've ever seen in captivity, probably helped by her size. Regardless, I'm so happy to see her in such a good home doing so many natural behaviours!
She’s been through so much that she appreciates more. I’m so happy that Emily and Ed have her. She’s finally home.
Her exhibit is definitely an upgrade from the tiny box you rescued her from.
Little kid: "The fish are acting dead!" Emily:"They might not be act-"
*Uh oh spaghettios*
At that moment she knew, she fucked up
Simpsons fan?
They aren’t dead just sleeping 😀
@@kdsfhkljfnsdfo1323 ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Can we just talk about how adorable it was when Rex came to Emily when she was in the dome?,
She knows her Mommie
And when she was asleep. She woke up to go to het
That dad’s comment about Rex not listening was so wholesome
As much as I believe that reptiles can love in their own way it is really funny when you babytalk Rex and all you get back is 👁👁
Agreed and also yes. They just kinda...sit there LOL.
I honestly cried at this. Rex has been on such a journey, huh? From crammed in a little box for years and years, to a beloved character on the channel, to her own special exhibit and delighting so many kids and adults in person. It genuinely made me emotional when she was bellowing at Ed's drill. It's like she's truly at home. What a wonderful set up and I hope to take the road trip to see it one day ❤
Right? I think this is the happiest I think we've seen Rex on this channel. She looks so at peace and happy in her new enclosure. She also seems more energetic and less bored which is so fantastic for her. Really happy for her, she deserves the best!
I did to. I'm so Happy for Her. I really Hope that Rex's story teaches People, that not all animals are pets. Alligators 🐊 should be injoyed in the Wild. And only Place that can house them properly.
I got super emotional when she started bellowing, she took to her enclosure so fast
Same!!
Me too !!! 😢
“the fish are acting dead!”
“uhhh.. they might not be acting…”
I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS😂
Pe pe
Ha
2 minutes later: "The fish are acting eaten by an alligator!"
Lol I laughing so hard
When
I Was laughing I couldn’t breathe LOL 😂😂😂
Wow, death rolling the jolly ball was both very cool and impressive. I didn't know they moved that fast. She looks so happy in there.
Rex: (still and quiet)
Emily: it's like she knows she's going to a better place
Rex: (not yet awake)
"Sponsor us Jolly Ball!" - seriously, you can't have a much better endorsement than "Even an alligator can't destroy our product."
Comes back after every death! Reliable to the end and then some!
After her having 2 or 3 dead jolly balls she can get through them but it takes her ages 😂
I'm totally digging the pattern on this Jolly Ball.
That is a good claim
Jolly balls are horse toys
So exciting to see Rex in such an amazing enclosure! I'm so happy for you and for her!
hallo :D
You should do a bull snake care video 😁
Hey clint
Well hi there 😉
I can only read this in Clint's voice
The way she came right up to you while half asleep omgosh shes adorable! So happy she likes her new home and all the attention shes getting!
Ed has really grown more comfortable on film and I love that.
“The fish are acting dead!”
“I- they might not be acting -“
That part 😂
For some reason reading the lower part of this comment, my head read it in a pirates voice
i died to this

Kid: she’s not listening to meee!!
Dad: it’s an alligator I don’t expect it to!
Aww seeing Rex being playful with the employees in the bubble was cute 😍
Rex moving towards Emily with her eyes still closed was the most adorable thing.
I agree! She didn't want to let momma down but just couldn't do it!
Legit started crying when Rex bellowed; that's so cool and just shows even more how much she's progressed and how happy she is with her home! So happy to see her in the zoo I wish I could visit!
Alligator bellows are one of my absolute favorite noises ever, and seeing that in this video, and seeing Emily's reaction to being able to feel it... Absolutely made my day.
Me too!
Kinda wonder if they'll be installing a speaker or something to play drill/gator sounds to encourage that on occasion. Would be super cool to hear her bellow while in the tunnel/dome!
Right now, I am crying tears of joy for her. After all the problems she had, to have the best life possible. Thank you so much!
I love that nerdy look of hers
"Fish be acting dead"
What Emily wanted to say: Quite an astute observation, besides the fact they may already be dead
I came here to point that out too. Dry humor is my favorite. 🤣
‘Might not be acting!’ Lol
When I heard someone day “fish be acting dead” I right away was like “……ya umm it’s already dead…😂”
I have notthem
Little kid: "The fish is acting like it's death :D"
Emily:"ohhh, it might not be acting... :v"
That part killed me 😂
IKR
So proud of rex! Each video I watch if you helping your animals brings me to tears!
“The fish is acting dead” (Emily)”um I don’t think the fish is playing dead” 😂
i didnt realize just how small rex actually is until she got her new enclosure. its so crazy to see her have so much room to move around and play... its heartwarming to see her so happy. we love you rex 🐊
When I saw her in person *hint thats me in the video in the dome in the green coat* I was visually shocked at the size shes only like 3 feet long before her tail.
I have noticed, since she lays on Emily's lap.
@@LinkTardis time stamp from where you’re at?
@@puglover6113 7:57
I was worried Rex's enclosure would be too small because it would be tiny for a full-grown alligator, but I don't think I realized just how small Rex is! That enclosure seems nice and big for her.
I would agree that yes that enclosure would be incredibly small for like an eight or nine foot alligator, Rex is 4 or 5 ft long if I remember correctly, so that would probably be about a good size for her
Rex's Growth was stunted because of misstreatement at her last home so she's pretty small I would guess only like 3 feet.
@@RaeDole I would have to go back and check but I'm pretty sure in one of the videos on Rex Emily said she's 4 ft long
but can Rex still grow tho?
@@arnoldszwarzenegger6832 Sadly not, she is actually quite an old girl now - she is actually older than Ed and Emily.
Rex's smile is just too cute and wholesome❤
Can we appreciate Emily the time it takes to make us happy and laugh
okay, Rex trying to "eat" the employees is the cutest thing I have seen.
In any other context this would be horrifying 😂
It’s all fun and games until you realize there’s no glass.
I think she was just weirded out by strangers
AND THEN SHE COULDN'T CHALLENGE THE DANGEROUS STRANGERS BECAUSE THERE WAS A FORCE FIELD??
How thoughtful of you guys for giving Rex some humans to watch for enrichment.
*entertainment

Oh my gosh that little subtitle that said how I look when I wake up in the morning without coffee just got me hooting 🤣😂
Oh my goodness this is so sweet! She genuinely seems to enjoy playing in front of the children, and her new enclosure 💕
I remember when this place was being considered for purchase and pre-demo. So proud of you two and how far things have come 💜💜💜
Oh wow. Yer I remember that too. It is crazy to see how it is turning out and the amount of work they have put in to this amazing place.. I am very proud of the both
Me too. Its crazy to me that i remember being so exited when they bought the building :)
So true (:
@@datgaydangernoodle1315 it was a big risk to buy it but payed off for sure
@@JPsPetNation absolutely
It's unreal seeing Rex in such a big home after all these years, I'm so excited to see her getting used to it. You should put a vinyl outline on the glass next to her backstory tag that shows how big the tiny box her first owner had her in was
YES I love this, and print out an actual size version of Rex when she was tiny and had her rubber jaw really really bad
i love this idea, it can really send awareness of what some pets have to go through
Dude this is brilliant !
@snake discovery!!
Ehhh, the zoo is for fun. I wouldn't put something genuinely depressing to ruin it.
“The fish are acting dead “
“Well,… they might not be acting “
😂
Rex makes me not scared of alligators, and it’s true! I’m happy you took Rex and decided you would take care of her. I love your vids!❤️
I am so happy for Rex. The fact she's being so active and displaying more natural behavior, I think, means she's really happy! Her brain is being exercised even more now. It's so awesome to see
🐊
When it was being built, just on camera, her enclosure looked so small. It's amazing to see how big it is with Rex actually inside! I'm so happy for her.
That’s exactly what I was thinking watching this! She looks so happy in it too!
She's so cute, what a big baby!! So good to see her in such a pretty enclosure now, lots of space and it's clean!
Emily is absolutely amazing in so many ways I personally have always wanted to work around alligators snakes and other reptiles it has just always seemed so exciting to me I still have a lot to learn myself but emily is the cutest a truly wonderful woman
Ed: *drilling*
Rex: "so you have chosen... death"
"Face me in open combat, COWARD!"
I love that you got to lounge in Rex's pool before Rex moved in. That's the cleanest it'll ever be, after all :)
Is your pfp a corgi ?
@@ligma9853 A mighty corghuahua is he :)
Yeah lol
I’ve been watching y’all for years and I’m happy to see Rex upgraded to a pool like area!
My first time here was Sunday and I was very surprised, you would never know how nice it is inside from the outside of the building my daughter loved it!
Two things I did not expect to see today:
1. Emily in a bathing suit (love the pattern, by the way!)
2. Rex FINALLY in her zoo enclosure! She looks so happy!
There's something strangely Snake Discovery about that pattern
Rex is LOVING her new home! I find it so fascinating that she is exhibiting new behaviors in a more natural habit too…great job Ed and Emily!!!!
Can’t believe it’s been two years already since she’s moved in to the zoo! I love rewatching this video it makes me feel so happy I’d love to visit her someday
I know! So many milestones with her. I love seeing her in an enclosure specially made for her. Big enough for her. And having fun ^_^
Thank you so much for your videos. My daughter found them on her tablet and has been watching them almost nonstop the last few days. Last night we were able to see Rex via the live stream for the first time thanks to your instructions in this video. I like that my daughter can learn new things while doing one of her favorite pastimes. Watching videos!
I'm gonna write a song called "Alligator Glass Blues" that tells the tale of the struggle to obtain Rex's Glass.
That would be cool! Maybe you could link it in the replies once your done?
Yaaassssss!
@@felixking-borrero4906 Will Do.
Fun fact, since rex is female, it wasnt a territorial bellow it was a mating response to what she thought was a large male bellowing.
Ohhh cool!
"Daddy...?"
🤣
@@khango6138 hehee thats adorably funny
that kind of makes sense tbh
I know it’s super late, but y’all’s attitudes are amazing and such a great example for everyone.
Best, emotional video so far! Rex seems to love this big enclosure so much❤
She seems 1000% times happier. While her old enclosure was great you can tell this is really special for her. When Rex first saw people she was obviously so excited!
so excited that she hid behind a rock all day :D!
@@Konani_the_unicorn_queen my thoughts exactly after reading this xD She got better but she was definitely not excited on the first day lol
I am so happy for Rex. She has a pool she can't destroy, she has a whole lotta space to hang out in and she seems comfortable enough with the new kind of attention she gets! Couldn't be better!
Well, we hope she can't destroy it. xD
@@neolithiumproduction That would be both impressive and scary!
rex is like super duper smart, shes like a dog, she comes when she gets called! thats crazy!
Oohhh yes most definitely! Crocodilians in general are extremely intelligent!
Rex is cute when she swims.she is so adorable and cute and funny.
“The fish are acting dead
“They might not be acting”
The harsh reality
ah, yes, the cold slap of reality.
When you find you made a serious mistake during the aquarium setup.
11:52
it makes me so emotional to think about how rex lived years in that shoebox and now she has a huge house all to herself! no wonder she looks so happy 🥰❤
OHHH MY GOODDDD! Rex is adorable :D ❤🐊
Her bellowing was awesome too!
Rex is in a home she deserves and with a mom and dad she deserves
I honestly think Rex can feel the love pouring out of Emily's voice when she speaks to Rex. They may be reptiles, but that doesn't mean they're braindead. I'm sure she knows Emily anywhere.
Braindead? No
Capable of experiencing or understanding love? Also no
That’s reptiles for you. We humans tend to anthropomorphise our pets, but reptiles just aren’t wired like us.
@@QWERTYOP80 true, but crocodilians are some of the most intelligent reptiles around, and they’re certainly capable of positive and negative feelings. They know and respond to what they like and dislike, and Rex seems to like and trust Emily. Sure, it may not be what humans define as “love”, but it’s as darn close as an alligator can get.
@@QWERTYOP80 leave them alone, they aren't doing anything wrong
@@QWERTYOP80 Alligators might be an exception since they hang out in groups and are very intelligent
@@kittyjade16 Relax, friend. Neither is QWERTYOP80. There's nothing wrong with discussion, even if it's not in agreement. :) They're not being rude or insulting.
Everybody: Awww rex is playing with her toy
Rex: *DEATH ROLL THIS BLOCK OF PREY*
I'm so happy how you've made this, I was here when u were first building it. I'm so surprised how far you've come we'll done!
It's so amazing to see her thrive in the new habitat. You can tell just how intelligent she is!
I never knew alligators could express so much emotion. She just can’t hide her happiness, sleepiness, shyness, adorableness. Love ya, Rex. 🥰
0.0 you are right dude
:-) on the dot
The sleepy face was super adorable
Do you know that’s not that right just wrong😣
@@nicolestenzel4703 What's wrong?
It's so cool to see Rex fully underwater. Now she can actually swimm around. And she looks adorable trying to eat the fingers behind the glass!
🐍
The Kid was literally hilarious "She isn't listening to me" 💀that was so funny for no reason. Also I'm hoping to come out during my spring break just to go here, I find this all so cool. 🤩 I loved how Rex kept moving over following Emily around the enclosure, it was so cute that she was doing that 😌
Gosh she looks happier then ever! This is amazing
Y’all, she started out in a tiny box, and now look at her! 😭
It’s amazing how much she’s changed since the beginning of the channel even. She’s grown, her snout has straightened, her teeth are opaque and healthy looking! Now she has a huge gator mansion! I’m so glad that y’all were able to do this for her.
I actually got teary eyed when she was super sleepy but came over to you, Emily. She looks so happy with her enclosure and its awesome to see her barrel roll while completely floating under the water! ❤
12:45 rex is like "tornado form activate!"
11:52
kid-"The fish are acting dead"
Emily-"uh they might not be acting"
I almost cried seeing her swim around like that, it means so much that she's able to actually swim up and down and not just sit in the water, and she seems so happy it's really heartwarming
right!
This is a perfect demo of how giving an animal more space to live in and explore is always a good choice and appreciated by animals that feel safe and have their needs met. Rex had great space to thrive in her room, but now she has the room to live even more.
I love how in almost all of their videos with rex in the picture she’s opening her mouth and being like “OH MY GOD, WOW!”
I just started watching this channel and I already finding it really cool. I love animals and love watching them on RUclips.
Did anyone else get a little emotional seeing Rex in her enclosure. I was getting teary-eyed watching her play. 🥺
Yes! Just remembering her story while watching is... 🥺 Tearful
People: Reptiles don’t attach to certain people.
Rex: Hi, mama!
They love their people, if you bond with them well enough they are amazing
@@fireofdawn3515 yeah, I have a boa. She’ll strike at anyone except me, and she chills in my lap. I’ve had her for 12 years, with rare visitors, it’s very cute but also concerning, haha!
@@silent.cougarminecraft1380 they’re so chill with people they are used to
@@fireofdawn3515 I know, and it’s so cute :>
My gargoyle actually responds to me, and has a particular dislike for my sister. She likes me especially, and my dad as well. Then, my box turtle knows I’m the food mama, and stares excitedly when I walk by. He also really likes my mom, since she feeds him too.
I think he's thinking of his of her own room because where she poops is where the door is in the enclosure and what he poops in her old room is where the door is at your guys's house so maybe he's kind of mixing it together
I’ve always been a reptile lover but watching this makes me appreciate them more ❤
"She always seems to go after me for some reason" says Emily who has orange hair when rex was food trained with an orange Frisbee 😂
LOL now that you mentioned it
Good point, well made
Proof that the camouflage on the door is doing its job. When Emily was feed Rex the kid in the dome said "Oh Wow! I didn't know there was a [door]!" at about 9:50
I like the fact the Rex "hisses" like HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and Emily doesn't react XD
I love rewatching these “older” videos!
"She's not listening to me!"
"She's an alligator, I don't expect it to"
OMG 😂😂😂
Seeing Rex so happy exploring the opportunities of her larger enclosure makes me teary eyed. As a stunted pet-raised alligator I don't think she could have a better life than what you guys are giving her.
Hearing people "ooh and aww" over and alligator. So wholesome.
She's so happy!! Ahhh! I'm excited she loves her new space! And she decorated it how she wanted😂✨
“The fish are acting dead.”
“They might not be acting.”
😂💀
Haha but if they are
It’s so cute seeing Rex trying to eat strangers and then is like “mom is not food”
CUTE REX
Lol
Rexy
Would be much fun to be in that pool TOGETHERE with Rexie, wonder how he would behave. He doesn't play when they're watching cuz he's just observant for them or thinking maybe he'll get fed. What a beautiful, smiling, timeless animal.. And his skin looks like it's made of rocks or so, i'd just love to pet or cuddle an animal like that, looks rly domesticated, alltho i understand it's not made to be a pet. Unless you're rich and make the perfect room for him with everything & secure etc..
@@bekeneelrex is a girl. ( She)
Ed’ s ’’EEEEEAHHHHH’’ when peeling the cover off the glass was the funniest sound I've ever heard from him
I love snake discovery thank you for taking care of all your reptiles!
I'm amazed how quickly Rex adapted to having tons of people watching her. When I saw in previous videos how she'd stop playing when Emily or Ed came into her room, I did actually wonder then whether once she was on display she'd hide all the time and only come out when the zoo was closed. Turns out she only hid for 1 DAY and was playing in front of everyone by day three. She seems so happy and it's great that so many people get to enjoy her, in so far as you can ever tell, Rex seems to be enjoying them too.
I know! I wonder if she'd stop playing when Emily or Ed visited because she wasn't as used to people yet, or if she was hoping Emily or Ed might feed her... Or, if in her heart-of-hearts, she knew Emily would be mad about her spilling all the water out of her pool again, and didn't want to be caught in the act. XD
Her lil bellow is the cutest thing on earth. Didn’t know alligators could be so adorable and nice. So happy that she moved from being in a tiny box for years to being an amazing inspiration of a creature. It’s crazy to think that billions of years of evolution resulted in such a fascinating creature.
It is super cute
I’ve been whaching you guys form 9 to 12 years old😳 and I’ve never seen rex happier ☺️
i absolutely love the idea of Rex out in the public
