I am gob smacked to hear people have been trying to make “I’d love to feed your pet to my snake” comments ! They must be disturbed! She’s a lovely snake and I love the way you’ve set her enclosure up look forward to seeing lots more of her x
People are just terrible sometimes. If someone ever said to my face that they’d like to kill my girls for their snake I’d kick them out. I love snakes but some people can be just so cruel
I love both snakes and rodents, but man is that screwed up. I imagine these people would change their tune pretty quickly if someone else commented "I'd love to feed your snake to my cat/dog". Just because they're rodents and they don't live as long as other species doesn't mean their life and companionship are worth less.
So cruel and disrespectful, shows how little worth so many people put in mice and rats when they can actually be amazing pets.
……. All I can say is wow, people are cruel and rude 🫤
She’s a pretty snake. Love how you called her a safety noodle. Cute name you picked and it’s always good to pick different names because I know sometimes it can cause issues at the vet.
I used to have quite a few snakes, royal pythons, corn snakes, Cape House snakes and Western hognose. I absolutely love that egg eaters seem to be getting easier to source as I've always wanted one, if I ever got snakes again it would be an egg eater. Rue is beautiful!
Awh she's lovely 🥰 I'm definitely with you on the rodent eating snake thing, as much as I love snakes I couldn't emotionally cope with feeding rodents to them myself, I may end up getting an egg eater in the future though, or an insectivore perhaps, but I love rodents way too much to be able to feed them to a snake. Don't get me wrong, snakes have to eat too, I just don't think I could do it personally
I don't see any problem with it specially considering how fast and often rodents breed as long as you keep them in an enriched environment (as rodents are intelligent). But I couldn't personally do it either even if I loce snajes but I couldn't look at dead rodents and even worse live feed
@@teijaflink2226 well luckily there’s things for squeamish people or people who just can’t seem to do it called reptilinks. Their basically sausage links for reptiles and they are for all kinds of reptiles so you won’t feel bad about feeding rodents to them and it’s very nutritious for reptiles. Hope this helps! 😁😁
You can look into garter snakes
I was thinking that it might be an egg eating snake when you first mentioned that you got your dream reptile. It's so cool that you finally got a danger noodle! ❤🐍
Edit: Rue is adorable!
As a huge reptile and rondent lover this makes me happy because people often think that I shouldn't own both and now there is someone showing them that it is possible
Yeah honestly I really want and am planning on getting a Ball python but I get a lot of really mean comments like, well you already have the rats, and telling me it’s bad to own both but you can def love both! It’s ridiculous 😭
@@kaykinz2549 I absolutely agree! Both rats and snakes make very good pets for people who know how to care for them ❤ Just ignore the mean comments and do what you love! I can totally recommend ball pythons.
I have three rodent eating snakes (corn snake, royal python and a western hognose). I got them before I got rats, and knowing what I do about rodent mills, I’d never get another. I will keep my three as they’re here now and have to eat, but when they pass I wouldn’t get more rodent eaters, completely see why you went with an egg eating species! Of course I love my danger noodles, but as my awareness has grown I’ve been more uncomfortable
love that you called her a safety noodle, thats so cute! ♥
Ad a child I owned a blue racer snake, a red rat snake and a Boa in the past but after there long lives i chose not to own more because i didnt like feeding them live rodents. I then owned Rats and mice. I didn't know a snake existed that ate eggs. Thank you for sharing. I will be looking to adopt Rats again as soon as I finish my enclosure property. 🙏🏼🌸
Aw, Rue is so adorable! I think if I ever got/get a snake I would want an African egg eating snake. I was also the 4 year old who wanted to hold boa constrictors lol, once at an animal rescue place they had a big snake, and I was the only one of my friends who wanted to pet the snake and hold it. All the other kids ran away or watched from a distance heh.
The idea of Omlette as a potential name reminds me of Emily and Ed at Snake Discovery, who ended up naming one of their western hognoses “Omnomlette” after she was caught eating HER OWN eggs 😀
They have to be trolls for saying that they want to feed your animals to their snakes. I bet most of them don't have a snake. Just because they don't like a certain animal doesn't mean everyone one else should too.
I'm so happy you got the right snake for you!
Omg, Emi, she’s lovely! I’m so sorry people have been saying that they want their reptile to eat ur mice/rat! That must be absolutely horrible!
I have a West African, Central African and an Egyptian Egg Eating Snake, I love them so much 😊💜
I've never been a lover of snakes but you make them sound amazing. My rule of thumb if it has fur I love it. My rats are my first pets as an adult and they really are my spoiled children lol.
Ps I absolutely love your t-shirt x
I'm really excited for this new content! I own both small mammals, mice and a hamster, and many snakes. I don't like when I tell people what I own and they say my mice are food when they're a pet.
What a lovely little lady! She's going to have a great time with you, I can tell
Awww Congratulations, Em! Lots of Love to you and adorable Rue!!!
I was so excited waiting for you to make this video 🐍 She is adorable! 💕
Aww your new snake is so cute! I originally subbed for your rat stuff, but I adore most of your other critters too! Thanks for being awesome Emi
Congrats! Egg eaters are so interesting. She looks very healthy and relaxed. The enclosure looks very good so far and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished set up.
Rue is a beautiful little snake. I have such a love for this species; I think they are just fab! I hope you both share fond memories together x
Have to laugh at the timing of this a little! My whole life I've had a debilitating snake phobia - I'd throw my phone across a room if I scrolled past a photo of one, scream and start panic sobbing in public if I saw a wild one (in my small town garter snakes were everywhere), and I couldn't even walk past the reptile section in a pet store. Just a few weeks ago my friend had me over and (carefully) forced me to meet her python Jasper. By the end of the afternoon he was chilling in my lap, and I was so smitten! And just as I shed this phobia, my favourite pet youtuber gets a lil noodle?! I would just love to boop that snoot. I shall live vicariously through you until I have the confidence to own one myself! 😍😂
I have kept snakes and rats for years love them both. She is gorgeous enjoy xxx
i knew it!! as soon as i saw your instagram stories i remembered your old “pets i want to own” or “pets i don’t want to own” video!!
I love snakes, but I've always been unsure about getting one myself for similar reasons to the ones you mentioned in the video. I don't know much about egg-eating snakes, so I'm excited to see more of Rue in your videos and learn about them.
shes such a cutie good choice.
Omg I’ve grown up with a massive love for snakes too I want an egg eater too because my mom doesn’t like having rats and a rat/mouse eating snake in the same home lol
She's a very pretty and cute snake! Welcome to the big family, Rue! 💚🐍
She is adorable! 🥰 I wouldn't want to have a snake, but I admire people who have snakes and know about how to take care of them 😄
its the same species in the documentaries i used to watch
but happy to see you do some snake care
SO HAPPY FOR YOU
she is too cute i adore her sm
I have 2 mice as well as 2 rodent eating snakes.
I love them both equally ! But I commonly get questions l like “are they … food ?!” Or people just concerned about the safety of my mice… And they always think I will eventually feed my mice to the snakes. My snakes eat F/T , and my mice are my spoiled children.
Btw Rue is beautiful! I love the look of egg eaters , and they are a very interesting species to me. I was kinda hoping you would get a snake when you mentioned a new reptile ! So this is just very exciting to see
It’s interesting that snake owners who also own pet mice get asked that, but cat owners who own both and cats would occasionally eat mice as part of their diet never get asked the same 🤔
@@Emiology yeah definitely a strange thing that happens , I’ve also noticed that.
But snakes and their owners have a huge stigma around them , and I think that’s the main issue. I have been asked if I was worried my snake would eat my rabbits or my dogs … my snakes are a California kingsnake and a Pueblan milkSnake , So no I have no worries. Lol
Honestly my rabbit , Piper , is more of a threat to the snakes lol. She can be vicious …. But I love her.
A lot of people keep pets that are predator and prey in the same house and no one really cares if you house them both responsibility. But basically people only seem super concerned and worried if it’s a snake and any rodent in the same house, no matter how safe and responsibility kept both animals are people always seem concerned (Obviously not all people !! But I have just noticed and experienced a handful of weird interactions and heard stories from other keepers)
@@KarmaKittyTs yeah I’ve only had my rats for a month now and the number of grossed out comments I’ve gotten is surprising. Like.. if they were rabbits or dogs nobody would care. But I don’t care what they think I love my babies anyway 😊
Yay a snake this is so exciting !!!!
Omg love your videos, but especially this because I am planning on getting an egg eater very soon, but I have also had rats my whole life. Keep it up!
My son had a ball python because of a boy scout project that ended up becoming mine when he left the house. Her name was Harrietta from Harry Potter because originally her enclosure was in a room under the attic stairs. My son had been doing live feedings that I just could not deal with, so have switched her to non-live since, but it still weirds me out feeding her tbh. Before this though, she went on a feeding strike while still being fed live, so I ended up with a rat and a mouse a few years ago. The rat ended up being adopted by a friend's child who wanted a pet, but I ended up keeping the little mouse for over a year. He became my work buddy during the pandemic. I still miss him. I called him Mr Moustafalees.
rue is such a beautiful name, my heart felt warm when i heard the name & then her cute little face popped up on the screen
Rue is so beautiful! I love her. And I can't wait to find out more about her.
I love watching the mice in the background. so cute ❤
Awww! She's so precious
So amazing!!
Ahh, Dasypeltis. My favourite kind of snake.
Awww she’s so cute!
Omg I LOVE snakes I’m sooo excited to see them in other videos ❤️
I love both reptiles and small mammals. I currently own rats and a few years ago I owned a ball python and a corn snake.
Oh, what a sweet thing! Snakes are honestly lovely and I'd adore being able to keep a hognose or a little group of garters, but herps can be tricky to keep in my area. Egg-eaters are fascinating and I'd love to handle one someday!
My heart rat is named Rue. She is a Rex black Berkshire she is getting on in age and it’s breaking my heart but she has outlived Katniss & Prim by a wide margin. I also named my bearded dragon Finnick. The Hunger Games is definitely one of my bigger obsessions.
One of my favorite book series of all time!
Omg I love them already 😭💚💚
THATS SO COOL EM!
She is a pretty gal
She is absolutely beuatiful
She is soooo cute
Rue is gorgeous! I might have to start learning about them!
Ive had some in the past . They are amazing snakes
If you need any info on them that you maybe cant find on youtube or the internet. Feel free to contact me
@@madeleinstoneman5944 where do you find eggs for them? this has been my dream species for a long time and i can't find where to get quail eggs anywhere
That’s so cool that you got to get a snake! She is really pretty!!
Omg how exciting! I’ve always wanted an egg eating snake, I love snakes but I’ve been vegan for 3 years now and the idea of feeding them rodents makes me uncomfortable, it doesn’t feel ethical to me :)
If you cant handle rodents then dont get a snake
it is ethical because snakes cannot live off of fruits and veggies. They are strictly carnivores, it would be unethical if you tried to convert them to vegan foods just to make yourself happy. Like the other commenter said, If you cannot handle feeding animals meats or non-vegan foods do not get it.
people replying saying not to get a snake if you dont wanna feed it rodents but... you literally specified an /egg/ eating snake. aka a snake that feeds on eggs not rodents lol, as for feeding snakes rodents frozen mice are generally considered the best way to feed them since the rodents were put to sleep with carbon dioxide so its not painful for them and there isnt any risk of them hurting the snakes so if you got a type of snake that isnt a picky eater you wouldnt have trouble with frozen mice but i understand the discomfort anyway
I have a question as a fellow vegan who loves snakes; where do you plan to source the eggs? I was already planning on getting rescue chickens and thought maybe I could feed any extra eggs to my other omnivorous animals. Could this work for an egg eating snake or would the eggs be too big?
@@PeacheIIe if you are worried about chicken eggs being too big, quail are actually very easy to house and take care of and i’m sure you could find some rescues pretty easily bcuz people buy them for their kids and then get rid of them as usual :(
As a fellow owner of both rodents and snakes, so happy you were able to find a species that works for you! She's lovely.
First you made me want snails AND NOW THIS!??! All jokes aside she is BEAUTIFUL. After owning rats I grew such a strong love for pocket pets and more exotic animals that you don’t see many own. Amphibians, reptiles, rodents, etc. and I may just need an egg eating snake in the future! I could never bring myself to feeding any type of rodent to one but I adore snakes. Can’t wait to see more of Rue in the future!
✨YeS i WaS RiGht✨ hehe I’m pretty happy now, she is so immensely cute! Welcome to the family, Rue!
i love her name !! i didn't know that egg eating snakes were a thing, very cool :)
Love the name Rue! :D
She is so cute 🥰 by the way I’m going to use “danger noodle” and “safety noodle” 😂👌
Garter snakes are good for people too. They can eat earthworms and fish. But not goldfish or minnows. Only feed guppies as the fish part of the diet.
I don’t like reptiles but you sound so positive I almost like them 😂😍
They should get me on shopping channel if I can sell things that well 😂
So cute xx
Rue has such a cute little face 😍
I hope you make more videos with her!
i have just today had to kind of adopt my older brothers snake lola, he’s currently living elsewhere and he can’t house his snakes so he decided i should have lola in my bedroom and stuff, however i have ratties and it’s really difficult feeding the snakes rodents, i’ve had to do it in the past many times and i’ve shed tears because of the rats, but i love snakes though, especially lola, but it kind of makes me feel like a terrible person because i have rats as pets.
I currently have three gerbils living in a 40 gallon, they are such great pets but their lives are so short T_T I have a very ambitious plan of turning the tank into a paludarium once they pass, and housing a few garter snacks which is another non-rodent-eating species!
Emily and Ed of Snake Discovery (on RUclips) have some egg-eating snakes, which is where I first heard of them. I've been conflicted about the idea of owning a snake after owning so many rodents, but I'm not sure I could properly source eggs for an egg eater, either. Not getting one soon anyway so I have time to think about it lol.
I love your safety noodle she is so cute I have 2 mice but still love snakes ♥
How fun!
Omg she’s so cute
I LOVE your Lion King shirt
She is so prity❤
YOU NAMED HER RUE 😭😭😭 best name. Hands down. I already love her!
Are people gonna have to start saying I’ll feed your snake to my honey badger XD
I have a doggo named Roux! Hunger games was definitely an influence on her name. I chose the different spelling because my dog is a mixture and a roux is a mixture. Plus I like the way the spelling looks more 😊
YESSSSSS U GOT A SNAKEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I LOVESNAKES!
She is so pretty!
I've been really curious about snakes that don't eat rodents, such as some that have other diets naturally or who tolerate substitutes similar to how cats have cat food. I feel the same way you do and I'm really curious to see more videos about Rue! (Love the name Rue, seen a number of characters with some version of it and they're usually great characters)
I think there are some you can give fish and chicken too, definitely interesting with snajes tgat can eat different things too.
beautifulllll >>>>>
i love snakes so much 🐍
I never thought I would even consider having own and taking care of a snake especially because I just love rodents to much to feel comfortable feeding them but Rue is the cutest thing that I may have to look more into egg eating snakes even if I never end up getting one
(Friends planning on getting a snake but I really didn't really plan on spending a ton of time with it)
I LOVE SNAKES THATS SO AMAZING🐍🐍🐍
Beautiful
I'm not a fan of snakes but they deserve a good life too. I didn't know that some snakes do not eat rodents. This video was really interesting.❤👍
Awww I love egg eating snakes honestly my dream snake. Little jealous haha but I haven't been able to find one that has been captive bread in the UK
The snake is soo cute! Also I just wanted ask, could u do a video about things rats can and can’t eat and what should be eaten as treats? Thanks!! (Sorry if u have already done this vid idea I just haven’t found it)
1:00 i can relate i have a photo of five year old me holding a ball python 😂
It feels illegal to be this early😂
Love your vids sm
I own a Boa Imperator & Ball python! I've gone thru a lot of study about a variety of snakes, but I really don't know too much about egg eaters other than it's incredibly hard to find them food. I'm glad you know what you're doing and you got a snake of adult size, I bet she'll love being with someone who cares so much. And definitely, I for example would love small rodents as pets but I can't since I'll likely always have my snakes in the same room as me... but the egg eating snake should be just fine. Even poop scenting wise, it likely just smells very different. My snakes in a room with rodents would be more of a danger to me, because they'd think it's food time every time i open the cage xD. I almost wanted to get mice so i can safely scent reptilinks so i don't have to buy anymore mice... But alas, the ball python has discovered links don't have the same texture so she refuses them no matter what even when tricks have worked previously. Better just not to get rodents w rodent-specific eaters.
i love her name!! i have a rat named rue. its such a pretty name :)
You know, there’s this company called reptilinks that gives you these sausage links that are for different types of snakes so you don’t have to feed rats or mice but I think they contain it but I’m not sure it’s super nutritious for snakes and other reptiles big and small
I don’t agree with things like that, I think snakes that eat rodents deserve to have them in the most normal form!
She's so beautiful 😍
Pretty snake I have a corn snake named Bacon Bits also have 6 snakes total
my hamsters name is yolki and i feel like that would suit her better than my hamster BUT RUE IS A GREAT NAME ITS SO AWESOME
Aww that’s an adorable hamster name 😂
That's really cool. I really want an egg eating snake but they aren't very popular by me and when I do come across one they are super expensive.
Forgot to mention that in the video but I’m glad I didn’t end up getting a baby because they are expensive 😅
@@EmiologyI would imagine and plus where are you going to find finch eggs🤔 P.S. your snake is adorable 😍
cutie!!!
I love hunger games so much ❤️❤️ and Rue is very beautiful name 😍
