    We visited The Snake Discovery Center on Sunday 10/10/21. Everything looked amazing. We surprised our 14-year-old son Corbin for his birthday and brought him here. The kids enjoyed the experience and couldn't wait to tell their friends at school all about it. We drove 3 hours just to come and check it out! I have shared pictures with my preschool students and they were really interested and excited to learn more! I have a feeling you will get many more visitors from Northern Minnesota!

    This channel is literally the only reason I love reptiles if I hadn’t seen any of your videos I probably would have never loved snakes or lizards as much as I do now and Rex is just great it’s a great addition to the channel to have a zoo and now you’ve accomplished so much it feels like years ago since you were thinking about having a zoo

    Found this channel from one of their egg hatching and Rex videos. I think it was before the channel reached 1M subs. I wasn't really a fan of reptiles before and I wanna thank Emily and Ed for making me appreciate these animals more. So great to see how far you guys have come. Sending all the love from the Philippines 💕

    You are my spirit animal! When I was younger I loved lizards and snakes and critters and wanted to work in a zoo one day. Life had other plans, but I get to live vicariously through your adventures! I love what you and your team are doing. I even befriended a jumping spider last year to save it from the cold winter thanks to your tutorial. Congratulations on this mega accomplishment with your zoo, your excitement, and your dedication to the animals and education! 💕

But yeah, I'm happy that the two of you achieved your goal, that you had many wonderful people help and/or support this project. And I wish you two nothing but good fortune from here on out.
