I got a heart shaped Valentine's bowl that I melted a doorway into, so everytime I lift it up to find my Buddy, he is usually coiled in a heart shape 🥰😍 naturalizing it with styrofoam and grout then sealing it with non toxic matte finish really made it look awesome outside too!
At first i thought you did the styrofoam thing with the snake 😶😂
@@Adulting_Autistic hey my dude, i hope thats a new account, not safe to put stuff like this on the internet lol, this community is cool and all, but still
@@helenp703 Thank you. It's just my email addy. Why wouldn't that be safe?

Cereal milk depends on what cereal you eat. Cinnamon toast crunch, Coco puffs, and fruit loops yum! 🥄
Fruit loops is the best
Pugsabi Honey Nut Cheerios
Yup. Lucky Charms cereal milk is disgustingly sweet.
But weetabix absolutely not mate
@@amykelland Exactly, we aren't heathens.
I'm definitely on team cereal milk drinker. You just have to add a good ratio. I also like my cereal a bit soggy depending on the type so maybe take that into account.
I would recommend using fine sand paper on any smooth plastic before putting the silicone on to adhere anything to the bowls. The texture on the bowls before the adhesive will help the adhesive to stick to the bowls for longer. If it starts to peel I recommend pulling them immediately. Adhering anything to a smooth surface requires something to grip. Always use sand paper on the smooth surface before adhesive.
5:05 Woah, what a gorgeous looking snake
I know I was about to comment that!
It's a Mexican Black Kingsnake, I believe. They're beginner-friendly and pretty popular. They're actually a little iridescent/holographic in some lights.
They can also be hella expensive. I'd put them more as a semi experienced snake for their price, food response and maybe even strength. Cause they strong bois.
fube animations all king snakes are
omg yesss
I’m with Ed, my favorite is cinnamon toast crunch milk.
2:17 Ed has the superior intellect on this topic, cereal milk is tasty milk
I'm with Ed-cereal milk is soooo good, especially with chocolatey cereal
OMG YESSS
I KNOW RIGHT ITS amazing I have chocolate rice cereal because of my allergies and I can have rice and I really like chocolate and I have some of those bowls with the straws built in
Bleh 🤮
Yaaaaasssss
Same here
Emily: we got something
The something: *It s the elusive Ed*
Ed is the shiny of the channel.
It’s so awesome that Ed is getting more comfortable on camera. 😁
Not liking cereal milk is probably the most controversial content I've seen on this channel.
It should be a new Con-Sub episode... right alongside how to hang a roll of toilet paper.
I have to agree, I drink the milk, it's the best part
All milk is gross. No thick slimy water for me. Cereal is perfect right out of the box.
@@benneptun4054 Most people seem to prefer over. HOWEVER, if you are owned by cats, the paper must go under, making it more difficult for said cat to unroll.
Almost stopped watching when she said that
Omg that black snake is such a beauty I LOVE IT♥️
I know, isn't it??!?! I'm trying to hold back (it only took a year after subscribing to Ants Canada before I had my first colony... so I have to be careful not to get swept away. I nearly caught a jumping spider that lives with me after watching SD's jumping-spider-catching video 😂), but IF I ever got a snake I think I'd have to find out what kind this one ws 😻
@@sourcererseven3858 I think it’s a Mexican Black Kingsnake.
Can confirm, it's a Mexican black kingsnake, I know because I have one and she is as adorable as theirs
I feel like the Dollar Tree just makes their own types of snakes.
yep
Yeah...
And u por justo so col
I love you and tour videos
@@angelareyes67 Did you accidentally reply?
I'm with Ed - drink it! Especially with chocolate cereal that makes the milk chocolatey!
Sorry, I'm on Ed's side when it comes to the cereal milk
Lol I never drink cereal milk
I never eat cereal or drink the milk from it
I pour cereal and drink the milk from it but dont eat the cereal
same here. we always drink the cereal milk. I was actually surprised that some people find it gross. LOL
iBlingYoFace I agree
If you want to have the flowers stand straight up take a small plastic container, coat it with parchment paper, fill it with pebbles, put your flower stem in the middle, and fill with hot glue. You can then add a layer of bigger rocks around the top so it blends into the substrate better.
I totally love how educational you guys are, you teach so many people and whether they say it or not, we are grateful!! Thank you for sharing, it means a lot!!❤😊❤😊
Sorry Emily, I'm on Ed's side when it comes to drinking the cereal milk
I agree with Ed too I love the milk but not the cereal chunks !!!!!
Same!!!!!!!!!! I’m with Ed!
I’m on emilys
With Emily especially because my parents made me drink the milk as a child!
Same
When Emily showed the doll bed I had an insane mental image of a hognose just lounging on top like some sort of king/queen lmao.
I love this.
"Draw me like one of your french girls"
Same 😂😁👍😂🤣😂
@@markbilger2851,I thought the same thing when I saw this comment XD
I am your 420 like, I am now meme lord
I (successfully) keep and breed a trio of leopard geckos in a really big enclosure. There are 4 hiding boxes (currently just the little generic black ones), but what they really seem to enjoy is that I put artificial monstera leaves all around the top of their living area, like a canopy. They feel super secure because there are so many hiding places, and they like traveling around on the top of them when I put some mealworms up there. I feel like it's probably a somewhat natural sort of situation for them, despite everything being artifical and washable. They use the entire enclosure, and they get along extremely well because they have so many places to hide, and to dig. My Honduran milk snake also loves the monstera leaves. His cool hide is just a pile of them.
Oh! The Sponge dishes are great for lizards though. My leopard gecko has 2 and I'll find her curled up like a dog inside them it's adorable. What's even better is one of them is a Christmas penguin Sponge holder and it's her favorite one so it's like she's getting into Christmas spirit having it around haha
Hi, I work IT for Dollar Tree in their corporate office and I love knowing that my favorite animal channel used us for something so nifty! Also P.S. Ed is right about the sugar milk!
Yes, the cereal milk MUST BE IMBIBED!!! Drink it!
I'm with Ed on the cereal milk.
Yes
Me to
Yup, 100%
I agree with him
Hayden Bruce same lol
Like as a child I loved the red 'hideouts' on playgrounds cause they made me feel the safest- so idk if it’s the same with snakes or just a personal thing but yea
Cereal milk is delicious! You just get all the cereal pieces out first.
Quick tip: you can get a soldering pen from Walmart for 10 bucks! It works just as good lol!
Thank you!
I have a wood burner. It works for making holes in flower pots, so it should be okay for this.
My 3 year old son loves those straw bowls, Emily. He drinks the milk through it before he eats his cereal. He's a little weirdo lol
Smart, so the cereal won’t get too soggy. He might be on to something.
I still love the straw bowls. And my old baby spoons make great stirrers for hot chocolate
I’m 35 and love the bowls
Stephanie H the cereal would get soggy
my son does that too!!!! i have to stop him from doing it so he’s not eating soggy cereal (which he hates) 😂😂😂
Yes! Not only for reptiles and others, but for crafting!!
Thank you for an amazing channel. I’m a newbie and so far I’ve learned SO MUCH from you. Right now I’m in a phase where I’m soaking up snake information like a sponge lol. Anyway, thank you and keep up the good work 🤗🐍💕 Much love from Sweden
PS: Emelie, you have a really nice dressing style 👌
Emily you read my mind all the time! I was just thinking that I need to upgrade the size of my snakes hides but I didn't want to spend a fortune. I also agree with Ed that cereal milk is the best

I use the bottom part of a dog cage and flip it upside down for my turtle
I love getting foliage from dollar tree! I never thought about those toolboxes, though. Awesome idea! ♥️
Do you have to wash the foliage before putting it in the enclosure? Is so, how?
None of the dollar trees around me have foliage. It sucks
"so then my new strategy is just to forgot about them.... And then they're hard boiled!"
FACTS
I love that Emily calls the reptiles friends. My friend calls them creepy.😂
Thank God for yall seriously! I have had an struggle on how to cut these out perfect without injury my reptiles until I came across your website mention the wood carver. I happen to have one but never thought to use it that, best solution. Love yalls bloopers too, ur the best! 🤣
NEVER in my 26 years of life, heard someone say "cereal milk is gross ew".
i cant stan u on this, Em. I'm with Ed. Cereal milk is the BEST part of eating cereal.
I hope you misspoke there and meant, 'can't stand with you on this'.
@@amandastakeonit7402 No, I purposely typed "stan".
@@itsgray4210, that's not what I mean...I meant the order of your wording...Unless you mean to say you can't stand her.
@@amandastakeonit7402 Stan is an internet slang. People normally use it like "I stan ABC" or "I can't stan ABC no more". It's different than "stand".
If you cant stand my awful grammar, then ignore it.
Flamingeos the cereal makes it sugary!
Lol my baby snakes love those doll beds. And they look so darn cute when they lounge on them.
Yes i agree with Ed for the cereal straw bowl thing
I love the milk after having fruit loops it tastes amazing.
When I got my leopard gecko since I have a 3D printer I printed the hides
Cool
Doesn’t the material get expensive fast
It@@sparky2_0 not necessarily.my husband bought a good size roll for about $20 and has printed over 8 different good size projects and used up maybe half the roll

Knowing you guys, you probably told them--but I wonder what the cashier would have thought of your basket of purchases?? BTW, the army helmet is my favorite! 😂
When you have something like coco puffs or cinnamon toast crunch, you have to drink the milk! It's the best part
Golden Grahams too
This is so random I love it haha but also chocolate honey nut Cheerios
Hi...........Brother............
I eat chocolate rice cereal because of my allergies and I always drink the milk because it makes it chocolate
@@Bropleaseimdying what?
Gotta go with Ed, cereal milk is the best. I even add it to my coffee.
Seems like a cheap creamer,frootloop milk and coffee
Ok now that is just gross. Even though i like cereal milk.😀😀
I like cereal milk, but not in other things.
Agree with you I always drink is the remote sub good I don’t see him up every single time because I love it
I agree with Ed on the milk straw bowl thingy.
My method for decorating hides is hot gluing river rocks (cleaned well, of course) all over the hide. Sanding the plastic before gluing can help them stick. It can be annoying to clean though
I was thinking of river rocks when I saw the sand! Yeah, probably a pain to clean but would definitely be super cool looking!
Emily Hardboiled eggs are done in 8 to 10 minutes (we get perfect eggs at 8 minutes ourselves) just a little tip ;p
I love drinking the milk, because if you eat chocolate cereal, its gonna be chocolate milk! And who doesn't like chocolate milk?
I agree with Ed on the milk, it is the best part of having cereal and who else is watching on New Year's Eve 2020?
"give the snakes some dignity" Says Ed, who regularly baby talks even the largest of reptiles, and makes funny derpy captions for them (you do it too Emily don't lie)
12:43 a background if anyone wants it
Wow 😍 its very beautiful thank you

frisky animatez OwO Pretty sure a Mexican black king snake
frisky animatez OwO A Mexican black king snake :)
Would love to see something like this for other reptiles!
“It’s to expensive to afford reptiles🙄”
chile anyways-
I agree with ed always drink the milk!!!
“My new strategy is just to forget about them... and then they’re hard boiled!” Emily’s cooking class 😂🥚
hahahaha
better at hatching eggs than cooking them
I have that same cereal milk convo with my husband every morning xD
i agree with ed on the bowls with the straw because i have one and there so coool
Hey Emily
I have a tip if the dish is too smoot you can also use a hot glue to make a pattern you let it dry and then the snakes can rub against it to remove their skin also nice to have in a video
(ps I'm Dutch so I'm not very good at English)
xx milou
i’m a quarter dutch!
Using hot glue works but when you wash the dish, the water will eventually make the hot glue stop sticking.
I think you mean too smooth, just FYI. 😊
Thanks helped
Ooh
Wait .. so you make a bowl of cereal and eat it up. Then throw away the leftover milk!? Thats the best part !
Bleh
Not really...
Dag you
I don't like ceral milk. So I just don't eat ceral with milk. If I eat it I eat dry.
As someone who used to do cashier work at Dollar Tree, this video tickles my heartstrings. ;w;
I agree with Ed about the cereal milk. It's delicious!
I'm with Ed, cereal milk is awesome especially when you finish a box and the powder at the bottom mixes in.
And if the cereal is chocolate flavor, you got some chocolate milk right there
I agreed...until you added the powder.
@@amandastakeonit7402 I have been known to take things too far 🙂
@@michaelmiller1965, hahahahaha
The way I do it is to cut the entryway with an exacting knife and then I turn on my hot glue gun and run it over the edges of the entryway to get rid of any sharp edges :)
Harry Potter...
thats verry smart
I DIDNT KNOW YOU OWNED A SNAKE
you’re a wizard
No-Pajama Panda oh i know, when I replied that I hadn’t read the second book. I’ve read the second book now I get it now, but anyways, yeah a snake would make a great pet for a parceltounge!
Here three years later to agree with Ed on the cereal milk bowl. Y'alls' channel is awesome by the way.
Cereal milk is the BEST, especially after bubblegum or chocolate flavoured cereal!
Also, this has to be one of the most naturally funny videos I have watched regarding snakes!
I love Emily's strategy for eggs but I'm with Ed you always drink the cereal milk, unless your going back for seconds.
If you use the scissor method for making the entrance, I use some sand paper to make sure it’s smooth and safe. Then just rinse/wash it before you put it in your enclosure. Also I recommend using paper towel rolls, my snake lovesssss it. Also be sure to cut the bottom so that you don’t have to worry about your snake getting stuck. 😊
I work at dollar tree and I plan on getting a king snake soon, definitely gonna be on the lookout for things I could use!
When I was a kid I put a small nativity scene in my lizard aquarium, was pretty cool watching him climb around it
I’ve never heard of someone not drinking the milk.
I dont drink the milk...🙃
Hia :p
T8 DO me
I don't drink the milk either.
I know I love the milk 🥛
Mixing sand into the silicone before applying and adding a final layer on top of that will give you a better look, a more interesting surface, and more opaque covering.
Thank you for not commenting about cereal milk!
Emily....just a tip for your eggs hun....put the eggs in the boiler, then the water, let it come to a boil and then start a timer (with them still boiling) for 7mins for a very yellow, mostly firm, but not dry yolk...or 10mins for completely hard boiled, rather light, somewhat dry yolk. I hope this helps in all future egg boilings lol
Emily saying, "My new strategy is just to forget about them... 🤷♀️
and then they're hard boiled!" 💁♀️
You and me Emily, are definitely on the same page. Although with 6 children, most of my favorite meal ideas are those you can "forget about." 🤗
Be VERY careful with those little ones with the handles, I had a bp get stuck in the handle and when he tried to back out he lost a bunch of scales. If you use them, cut the handles off.
Also cereal milk is the best part what are you even doing
I love how Emily's strategy to cook eggs is to just forget about them.
Me too
Me toooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Lol
Cool
Same
I have to agree with them I have one of those bowls and I use it for a cereal all the time
I agree with ed about the bowl with a straw i love the milk
I love how every so often you experience a small snippet of some other dimension of their lives and personalities... it's never not adorable lol
I ALWAYS drink my cereal milk! Especially if I'm eating chocolatey cereal the milk is like sugary chocolate milk! It's so good! Youre missing out Emily! Hahahaaa 😂
Tru
I only drink the milk after I eat milo cereal
True lol
Ed we agree with you! I always eat my cereal and then drink the milk after
THANK YOU! So many great idea's here!
During the summer, dollar tree gets coconut bras. You get two hatchling hides for $1. As I live in SW Florida, I am currently just cleaning out coconuts and making my own hides with real coconuts, but I am definitely tempted to buy some from dollar tree as well.
what dollar tree and where sells these
@@lapiscake1211 I have seen them at several different stores just about every year during the summer when they sell tiki themed stuff.
@@lapiscake1211 just saw them at my local dollar tree today.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yeah I agree wit Ed on the on the milk thing
i agree with Ed with the bowls the milk is SOOOOO good like that
0:44 did you just say FIELD TRIP!?
**magic schoolbus intensifies**
Please not let this be another field trip
I think I remember that
@@Hyxtera
With the Frizz. NO WAY.
But for real though. She and Ms Frizzle would get along great.
We've never seen Ed so much in one video. Awesome!!!!! Plus I'm with Ed cereal milk is awesome. And we always boil our eggs for 14 minutes. Perfect every time :)
I agree with Ed by drinking the milk of cereal is the best part
4" PVC drain caps are absolutely perfect for a water bowl in a rack setup. bulletproof, affordable, easy to clean and decently hard to knock over. avoid the round bottom ones. but the flat bottom ones are great.
2:20
Sorry Emily, I'm with Ed on this one.
I agree with Emily; cereal milk is disgusting.
*drinks the rest of the cereal milk*
1. I am 100% using the army helmet! It's so freaking cute!
2. Use an old reusable BPA free water bottle. Not the one time use ones and it has to be made out of sturdy materials. Take off the lid (or not if the hole is big enough for the snake to crawl in) and depending on how you're going to use it cut off the bottom of the bottle to make a tunnel. Decorate it if you want and what I do to keep the bottle from rolling around is to attach it to some cork bark or something else and that keeps it pretty sturdy.
I agree with Ed on the cereal milk thing
Who are you when your drink book for cereals really really good
Me: Why does that store look familiar!!!??
Also Me: Suddenly remembers Emily only lives 20 minutes away.
Lucky!!!!!!!
How do u now where she lives?
Yea how do you know where she lives?
@@charlie_gamer_313 yea really! 😐
Ryan P it says the city she lives in, in the description
I just did a dollar tree haul for my reptiles (and new giant African land snails I'm getting today!). It's the best place for foliage and hides 👍
P.s. drink your cereal milk... no wasting!
Check with your state and/or country to make sure the snails are legal. They are not legal in the US. Should "they" discover you have them, they will confiscate your entire reptile/snail/critter collection. They lay a crap ton of eggs each year. You have to be careful how you dispose of them. (I suggest the freezer). Also wear gloves when handling them due to meningitis bugs they carry. I am sure you have researched all this before hand but I hope you are not getting them where it is illegal.
@@Offutticus Yup, of course I researched; I have wanted them for 17 years and I had the breeder confirm my husbandry information. I live in Canada where they are legal to purchase from breeders that do not import. I bought 2 to be housed in separate tanks and I have all of the necessary supplies to care for them (i.e. gloves). Not all hobbyists are irresponsible 👍
And I know that they can still reproduce on their own, but it seems like it's less often compared to when they're housed together. I could be wrong on that one though
I definitely liked the cone idea I thought it was great
We got a small animal litter pan (like $3-4 at Petco), flipped it upside down, and buried under our guys substrate. It's his favorite hide!
