- The Invert Cave is finally finished!! Who knew that invertebrates would be the first critters to move into the zoo? We LOVE how it turned out!!
Custom Reptile Habitats did a wonderful job creating the enclosures! Believe it or not, they were made from scraps from other projects, so they are recycled enclosures too! :D You can check out more of Custom Reptile Habitat's' enclosures here:

We'll also have a limited number of the invert cages available in our store!

Thank you for your concerns about people pushing the enclosures off the shelves! I forgot to mention it in the video, but we plan on drilling a hole into the shelf behind each tank, and dropping in a pin (of sorts) to act as a lock to prevent them from being able to get pushed back :)
First to this reply and you have tought me so much about snakes and reptiles I was able to get a snake!
Well my comment got.. deleted?
ok!
Hey! I'm so exited to see the zoo, And everything seems like it will be so cool to see and learn, but I'm very scared of centipedes, so I'm not as excited for that lol. I have loved this channel for a long time and for months I've been excited for this zoo. I can't wait to see how everything turns out and you all are doing so good. I love you Ed and Emily, and I can't wait to *maybe* see you all in person!! Thank you for reading this, if you do, and maybe thank you for responding. You guys inspired me to get a crested gecko named Solis, and he's a baby still lol.
That's great to hear!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how much Ed worked on his camera shyness since the start of the pandemic? We used to only catch glimpses of him and now he is in every video or so which is great since he's like a giant teddy bear!
(:
Yep a giant teddy bear, i want to hug him.huhu
Ed reminds me so much of Chris Pratt ! He’s actually so funny ! Lovely watching both of you build this amazing project ! Thanks for sharing this with the world….good luck on the launch !
We were watching an old video and he really has. Such a huge gain for us. These two sure are a special pair
Yeh definitely. Good to see more of him. Such a dude 🤜
So I read it as “introvert cave” and honestly feel like that would be an awesome nickname for it
YES! 😂♥️
I need my introvert cave now- 😂
Looks like I found where I’d be kept if I were in this zoo-
@@zocritter me too…as long as I have a book (or more) to read in my enclosure!
Hahaha
It might be a good idea to have some signs saying "please do not tap the glass" and "please keep flash off" just outside the invert cave or illuminated so people can see them.
I had that exact idea
Yes and no. Just post it before they come in.. do not tap any glass. Do you want someone to tap between your eyes? Not being an ahole goes a long way, and is also extremely simple to understand.
It would be cool if you had speakers in the cave with “cave sounds” like dripping water, the sound of bats etc
Or Minecraft cave sounds on Halloween…
@Jesi yeah😂😂😂😂 just think of people that don't even know Minecraft sounds, being spooked
Yeah that's actually a great idea
They could even play 11 if they really wanted to go to town! The kids would have nightmares tho lol, ik i did the first time i heard 11 lol
@@hwgoblin HAHAHAHAH YOUR WELCOME
When the zoo is finally populated with animals, you could set up some livefeeds on RUclips of your most active animals. Just like Monterey bay aquarium
They have mentioned a possible Rex live feed.
Ooh, an anaconda livefeed would sound interesting.
Yes
I would watch that 100%
If playing Animal Crossing taught me anything, it's an Orchid Mantis would look pretty & even stand out a bit
Orchid Mantises are beautiful.
Or a spiny flower mantis. Easier to care for, less tricky molts, same stunning flower colors.
@@cmunk13 And frankly, even cooler looking. They're like.... Pastel punk rocker mantids
Just the issue with mantises is once they're an adult they'll only live a few months :(
But I would love to see a spiny flower mantis! Mine is absolutely gorgeous
They are one of my favourite mantis to keep and to breed they really so look stunning and a very coll one for sure the females are a lot bigger than the males
Emily, so cool that you’re just calmly standing there with the spider on your hand, when you admitted to us a while back you had a fear of spiders you wanted to overcome.
I really admire people who overcome their fears. It’s very inspiring ♥️
So true
I have a friend who has Encavmaphobia (the fear of being burned) due to an incident years ago. I am a fire performer and she was ready to try playing a bit with fire. Me and a couple of our friends helped her set up and supported her along the way. She had lots of fun being in control and is actually interested in learning more stuff with a bit of guidance. Im happy to see how much she's progressed and is overcoming her fear in a safe environment.
@@Saphara aww you guys seem like amazing friends :)
I like the way you think I like it to 😊
@@Saphara that’s awesome! Props to you and your friends
18:08 They really just showed us an empty enclosure and thought we wouldn’t notice.
T h e r e i s a w a l k i n g s t i c k i n i t
@@camiandthebird3323 you missed the joke :p
@@dragonwithcoffee5686 oh i get it lol
Nice👌
Like who would do that🤔🤔
Emily's delivery of the "Step 2: ?????" meme line was SO good. That was a treat. Thank you for that.
I love how there're little photosensitivity warnings in the corner before the raves! It's these little things that really count and make me want to watch your videos even more!
Kinda wish it was in a more noticeable spot because I missed it and had to cover my whole screen waiting for it to pass.
As a note, id reccomend putting up signs that say "please do not tap on glass" because i remembee i went to a zoo once and the people in front of us were blatently harassing the animals and it aggravated me
They probably will…doesn’t mean people will actually *listen*
Good Point!! Maybe they also installed security cameras in that area as well. 🧐 (🛑✊🏼)
Agreed! And on a similar note, a sign somewhere that says “no flash photography”. I’ve seen dummies use their phone flashlights to look at critters in dimly lit enclosures, not realizing they’re that way by design. The front burrows are so cool but I can see people trying to view the spiders better and stressing them out. Everything is looking so awesome!
@@HinataElyonToph So they monitor the cameras and talk to people who are ignoring the signs, and make them leave if they won't stop bothering the animals.
@@Cyndy101 Not sure how the security cameras would help. People would not belive it and I think its kinda bit too over to add security cameras
I work at a nature center, and a little girl just came in boasting that she watched your material and she was so excited to see our snakes and crocodilians. Not only are you creating awesome content, but you’re helping heal an entire generations relationship with reptiles
This is what it is all about. Changing people's opinions one person at a time
if you can win a kid or a child over you are winning and you are helping to put a light on reptiles what is a must
I'd recommend using red LED's for the tarantulas as they don't see red light on the spectrum, so any that may be more photosensitive won't get stressed out 🥰
the "wingardium leviosa" that turned ed into pickle rick absolutely killed me. i dont know if its emily or ed who edits these, but whoever it is, thank you so much for the laugh :)
It’s Emily :}
Yeah
They look amazing, but you might want to put a strip of wood at the back so they can't be accidentally pushed out by over enthusiastic kids
I love how this comment has shown up so many times and everyone just says "enthusiastic kids" or "accident" and we're just all politely ignoring that a certain age group would absolutely just do it intentionally even just to see if they can lol.
Boost
I think the back of those enclosures is in a room that's going to be either an office or the rodent breeding room, so I think it should be okay. I totally get it, though. I love kids, but I absolutely hate it when parents allow their children to climb on stuff or bang the glass at zoos and aquariums.
Agreed
Came to say the same thing! Lol
Petition part 2; Mandy needs a framed employee of the month award
my vote is signed
Yesh
Yas
You mean "of the year" award. She's been the MVP of so many projects at this point.
Yesh
What if you put a color guide and then color coded the invert cave! Like show people where the spiders, the beetles and whatnot are, or you could color code the amount of individuals in the wild! Like green for common and red for endangered and everything in between!
that's a great idea!
that is genius
omg imagine the walking stick dancing through the rainbow light and be like "you're bugged"
i never notice our aussie accents but hearing paul and emily have a conversation. i get shocked every time how thick and prevalent they are
it’s like emily and ed always know exactly when i’m wondering about how the zoo is going - it seems like whenever i do, there’s a zoo update!!!
Wonder all the time lol
Keep wondering! Abuse your power
WONDER TOMMOROW AND THE DAY AFTER I LOVE THEYRE VIDEOS
They’re mind readers lol
ikr?
I cannot process how casually Emily is just holding a tarantula
If it helps the species of the one she's holding is considered as one of the most docile
Because they literally just sit there.
Well that kind of spider is mostly not likely to bite. And besides the spider didn't go exploring it was just sitting there.
Fun Fact: there is no recorded case of tarantulas killing humans ever
It should be noted that you should never hold a tarantula while standing if it can be avoided - had Grace become spooked by a sound or a movement, she could easily have fallen on the floor and from that height, her little spider body would have been fatally damaged 😣
When I saw the way those glass-facing caves were dark, I could immediately envision people using their phone flashlights right in there and spooking the poor things. :( Maybe with the sign for no tapping the glass, there can be no shining light in?
Yeah, that still seems to be a problem, the hides at the front not being well lit enough to see into them. Maybe (hopefully) it looks different in person?
They did see the tarantula without extra light. Ed just used the light because it didn't show up on camera
@@sw4mpy egg
Yeah, I thought of that too, its a good idea, maybe they should put a sign.
It will also blind them over time.
Used to work for an aquarium most of the fish were blind because they couldn't blink to protect from the flashes
Thank you so much for the photosensitivity warning! This is day three of a migraine of mine, and your videos have been one of the few things keeping me sane through it. My best friend had epilepsy and it’s just so nice for you guys to think of fans like us! Knowing this is a safe space for everyone is small gesture but with a meaningful impact! Thank you! (Ps. This looks awesome! I can’t wait to visit!)
Had epilepsy? What happened?
Yes I know I’m 2 years late but I’m going back to Hru all of theirs videos cos I’ve seen all of them 😂

Definitely gotta do the "Get stick bugged" meme when you get a chance lol
Dang, you beat me to it. Get Stickbugged lol
Lol
Question for you- What is stopping from someone just pushing on the front of one of the invert enclosures and it just falling off of the stand it's on? A board stop on the back would help that if this is the case. Otherwise, looks great!
I've got similar concerns
Velcro or strong magnets on the bottoms could be a good solution since it allows them to be taken out for cleaning!
@@taiitea-6936 or just something, maybe some wooden tabs that can rotate
Ok I was confused but them I realized the lips on the enclosure, you couldn't push on it and it fall but you would have to pull it, and chances are they will secure it
They added a pinned comment! It’s about this, so it should clear up your concerns
“paul has made yet another trip up to the zoo”
RETURN OF THE KING
Stan Paul
hay i had a thought are the enclosures secure so people can't push them through? Rather not have a situation where a kid pushes onto the glass and winds up pushing the enclosure through and breaking stuff.
*hey
Good thought 👍
it would need to be something that can move up and down
cuz adding just a part there would block you from taking out the whole enclouser hmm
@@CrimsonAkato you could do a strip of wood that goes up about a quarter of the way with hinges and a hook & eye lock so it will drop down when needed but would keep them in place

"Southern Emily doesn't exist she can't hurt you"
Southern Emily: 7:06
Lol
It’s crazy how time passes by. It feels like yesterday when you bought the facilty🤯. Happy for you, Emily & Ed. Hope I can visit the facility one day. I live on the other side of the world 😂
My chances of visiting (sadly) are slim to none, family are scared of at least one of the animals in the zoo (dad is always at least 10 km from a snake, mom and sis just vanish when a spider appears), I live on another continent and my parents have no interest in visiting USA sooooo… :(
Also congrats to Grace!
In case someone accidentally (or purposely) push on one of the inver caves you should put a ledge that prevents them from being pushed off in the back
Please make sure the invert enclosures cant be pushed backwards off the floating shelves! Im so excited for animals! Aaah! 😍😍😍
Edit: not trying to be rude, im legitimately concerned! Yall have been working on this project for a while and things tend to get overlooked after such a long time (speaking from experience!) 😁
Doesn’t sound rude. Just helpful constructive criticism.
Not rude, and def a note to consider.
I agree. I think you were very polite and showing concern
(:
Might consider velvet ants with the death feigning beetles. Always heard they make good tank mates
The trantualla reminded me.of this story, I was at my elementary school and there was a giant open house. More than 200 people were there and some people were doing animal showcasing. They brought out a trantualla, told some facts and asked some questons. At some point, one of them asked, " can anybody tell me what trantuallas do with their, (backside?)." At this point I remember a documentary I watched about trantuallas. My hand shot straight up and everyone looked at me. I answered correctly and everyone was pretty amazed, made me incredibly proud.
I'm so grateful that your inverts are kept in decent sized enclosures. I've seen too many zoos that keep tarantulas in small cases. You guys do such an amazing job!
I’ve seen a Gila monster in a 20 gallon, and there was four….😢
Thank you for having tarantulas lower down as well as higher up! My boyfriend is in a wheelchair and I'm more likely to be able to convince him to look at them if they're more toward his level :)
The Zoo looks so good!! I'm not really that interested in visiting the US in general but I might change my mind just to visit Snake Discovery.
I loved visiting the USA so much that I moved here. Although their healthcare is atrocious, the people have been A++
Visit San Francisco it’s amazing
I'm from Brazil and I would love to visit this Zoo. I hope someday I find a way to visit
yeah i live in england and i don’t feel like getting shot so i’ll stick to watching vlogs unless maybe one day i go
THIS IS A JOKE
If I ever have the money I’m definitely going when covid is over.
So fun to see the invert cave all finished. I hesitate to even ask knowing how lighting has been the bane of your existence in these last update videos, but black light for the bark scorpions maybe??
+
You should change the colors of the invert enclosures to a danger level like red for dangerous or green for harmless
I'm getting so psyched! Closer to your opening, please make a "things to do, places to go" video for us out of towners.
When will it be open?
Emily: *Casually holds Grace like an apple*
(I got so excited when you guys named her bc I love tarantulas!! I'm so honored to share a name with such a lovely leggy lady XD and Emily's sister!)
Me whenever I see a snake discovery facility upload:
“Oh yeah, it’s all coming together”
Wow, so much progress in so little time!
Honestly Emily and her team do really put in the effort!
Ah yes my man is able to watch this in 1 minute also sorry if I’m sounding rude saying this
The enclosures look great. One note though: I know that you want the animals to be visible for customers, but I think that the Asian Forest Scorpion and vinegaroon should be given deeper substrate. My Scorpion dug a 4 inch deep burrow and loves to hang out in there. Your enclosures plenty of hides, but there is something special about seeing them dig their own burrow. Just my 2 cents.
They were saying that the substrate is about 6 inches it just didn’t look like it on camera
@@hate_watcher time stamp 5:52 but that might have been just for the curly haired tarantula.
Sorry it’s closer to 5:59
@@hate_watcher She did say that there is about an inch of the tank that goes below the "glass", while she was working on the curly haired tarantula's enclosure. Uncertain how much substrate she used per enclosure, but I trust Emily would do what is ultimately best for the animals/etc without including her own preferences into the mix if they weren't good for them.
I love that Emily is a hands on person and is helping in all phases of the installation.
No one:
Me: thinking about how much all this must cost... *Freakout intensifies*
Thats why we don't skip ads :)
They get $20,000 a month from pateron, I think they can afford them.
They actually could cost a lot just to own your own place and buy a lot of stuff that would be spending a lot of money
Y'all make sense. Thx for making me look like an idiot. (Not sarcasm) 😘💕
@@redrach09 yeah you would think that but then all the taxes they have to pay
From Canada here but when the borders are open I’d love to visit their facility it’s amazing
Wow, Emily is holding a tarantula!! Progress indeed!!
I loves seeing this update, it was very informative and it's so nice to see every step of your journey. Don't give up!
Mandy is the comic relief and true mvp of the zoo project
Don’t you guys just love how SWEET Emily is and she is MAJOR BRAVE
I've just started working in a little tropical zoo. I'm so glad I learnt so much watching you guys over the years
That sounds like a cool Job. Seeing photos of the animals would be fun.
I have been waiting….SO LONG FOR THIS
Haven't we all
But now we have it :D
Same bro
The invertebrates’ enclosures look great! So does Ed’s hair.
Woah! This is amazing! Though I'm worried about people using flashlights inside the cave, along with tapping the glass. Maybe you should have some really strict no-flashlight and no-tapping rules?
YEEE INVERTEBRATES! As an aspiring entomologist this makes me happy
Petition to add antscanada into the enclosure competition. His terrariums for his animals are so amazing
Would be cool, but he lives in the Philippines. Quiet a long travel considering the COVID concerns.
@@mpk6664 AntsCANADA lives in the Phillipines?
@@friendlyneighborhoodzealot5723 Yeah. He's from Canada, but lives in PH. He is part phillipino(spelling?) His business is still located in Toronto though.
@@momomc.thotty Thanks.
This is such an amazing job, I can't believe how great it looks! - I was thinking though, do you have any safety measures so that the tanks can't get pushed through to the other side? Since it is only on a half shelf in the back for support? What about an edge so they can't be pushed back from the invert side? Just a thought! Love you guys
I personally am very very happy to see how you made the Arizona Bark Scorpion habitat and I cannot wait to see them happily crawling around there! Tell Grace that she indeed Beauty and Grace
I knew I would have a rough time with my fear of spiders when the thumbnail had grace on it and she was the one you were holding in the intro, but... I powered through it anyway to support one of my favorite channels on youtube. The cave looks great! I'm excited to see as more inverts are put in and the zoo gets more work done.
Note to Ed and Emily : Give Mandy a full time job at the facility for being extremely helpful in both work and entertainment.
This is the highlight of my crappy week, have a fantastic day to all who read this :)
Lord, I hope people aren’t able to push those cages off the shelves from the other side! I can just see some little kids pushing up on the enclosures and one flying off! 😭
Yeah seems like they're just wedged in real tight. Some form of strap or latch against the wall probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
I assume they would of bilted them in to the wall or to the sand ? You would think ?
the enclosures are on shelves in the back holding them up for support so the people would have to push pretty hard for it to go off of the shelf
question: is there something preventing the enclosures from falling off the shelves? if say a kid gets excited and leans on the front of the enclosure?
Yer normally they are bolted to the wall .. and to the stand.. Good point though
This was the part of the build I’ve been biting my nails waiting to see! It looks so awesome!
Do you think you’ll add some kind of black light setting for any of the inverts that might glow? I thought it would be cool to give some of the kids those tiny weak little flashlight black lights so it doesn’t disturb the inverts as much, but helps kids see something a little extra special.
Mandy gets friend of the year award! ❤
Yessssss! I love seeing all of the updates what Emily and Ed have been able to achieve is astounding and absolutely incredible to watch their dream come to fruition.!!!
Me: Just going to bed.
Snake Discovery: Oh no you don't.
Currently watching this at midnight. High five, my sleep deprived brother
Every time! I find Snake Discovery very relaxing at bed time at least
Right?? It’s half past midnight here.
I’m so excited the animals are going into the zoo now!
Omg thank you for thinking about photosensitive people, that's really touching, we don't see it very often on the internet but it may get really dangerous specially to people with epilepsy or even people like me, autistic w/ very sensitive eyes! I'm loving to watch the facility getting more and more done every time, it'll be a blink of an eye till we see the public in there! Congrats for being so amazing
Emily:"The invert cave is done!" *Does weird arm movement*
And just as this was uploaded I went from annoyed because of insomnia to overjoyed O haven’t been able to fall asleep yet 🤩😁

Mandy seems to be able to do absolutely anything that is needed for your zoo build, enclosure set ups, absolutely anything and everything! She is amazing! So talented! Very impressive person, in my humble opinion!
The invert wall looks amazing.
One thought I had during this video was, are you guys planning on having any poison dart frogs on display?
I really hope so! They are one of the most beautiful creatures in the world, in my opinion. So many different beautiful colours.
thank you so much for the photosensitivity warnings!!
The magic wand had me laughing so hard I am crying 😂
Aww I love your nearly headless nick shirt, he was one of my favs may he rest in peace
The invertebrate cave looks phenomenal, you guys really out did yourself ☺️, walking sticks are adorable. Kind of shocked you didn’t have a place for isopods 🙃, thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always.
When the video called "update (final)" comes, I think I'm actually gonna cry. I'm so proud and happy, watching your hard work to make a really cool dream into reality. Your enthusiasm and positivity is so infectious, and you're truly having an amazing effect on the world. Bringing knowledge, assuaging fears, giving us smiles and laughs. Thank you for shining your lights on us all!
Favorite days of the week are Tuesday and Friday because that’s when you guys post
Yay I’m so happy y’all are moving along so fast I would love to come one day when the zoo opens but I live in Florida and it wouldn’t be easy to get there 😂
I live in Norway and want to come visit 😭

Wish I could see the zoo but I'm too far away! I'm still very excited to see the building completed!
Same!
I’m so happy for you, you finally have your own area for your animals to be seen and sold. Very exciting
I really like Grace's enclosure, the little cave/tunnel looks really cool!
Thank you so much for adding photo sensitivity warnings, you guys are the best! I'm epileptic and it's so nice to know that I don't need to worry about surprise triggers ❤️
Oh man this is really a part where the passion comes into play, these enclosures are so gorgeous and so much thought and effort went into this!!
Ahhhh finally :-) Can't wait for the finished zoo! I hope we will see Mandy still after everything is done and she doesn't have to build literally all kind of stuff :-)
whenever im watching your old content a new one always pops up its like you know early birthday gift
I love how many times Paul has come up to help! He seems to really want you guys to do well.
I appreciate the photosensitivity working so much! Thanks Emily and Ed!
Loving the invert cave, can't wait to see the next update on the zoo enclosures. Some millipedes and fruit beetles would look great in that walking stick enclosure!
Also think a big scrub python would be a great exhibit and something most places don't display
So happy for you can't even imagine how much work effort blood sweat and tears you put into this!!!
i got so sad when emily had a shirt of nearly headless nick
:(
Love seeing Paul!!! such a great guy helping out with the zoo!
hey emily! for the mantis enclosure, i suggest getting an orchid mantis. theyre a beautiful pink color and i think they might be good for your zoo
They're absolutely gorgeous.
If I lived in the states I would be dying to work here, so much care and attention to detail for their animals it’s awesome to see
