I posted this on your isopod care video. But maybe 2 days late so I figured you didn’t get to see it. So I’ll post the comment here in hopes you see it 🤞🏻;
“💡Okay idea time! This might be a cool idea for the retail side of your zoo. Consider putting QR code’s next to items or pets, the QR code’s can link to your care videos on RUclips. So if someone is considering purchasing a new pet, they can just scan the code right there and see your care video for accurate information. It may help!”
hopefully they see this this is a good idea
Excellent idea!!
You genius!
Boost
OMG this is neat!
I’VE GOT AN IDEA! Instead of bats do something with epoxy/silicone and LED blue light strips to imitate cave glow-worms from the ceiling. They’re native to Australia after all! Would *totally* fit the invert cave theme too!
Everything is looking amazing! I’m so stoked for when it’s finished!! ❤️
(Edit: I’m glad to see this is not another stupid idea of mine! Thanks for helping improve that chances that SD Dream Team will see it!)
Awesome idea!
That's a really good idea!
They should do that!
Great idea
Such a good idea , glow worms are also in NZ!
Man I just realized how much Ed is now in the videos y’all remember when we didn’t even know what in the world he looked like
Which is weird because he’s really handsome! I’m glad we get to see more of his humour and personality these days too.
Yeah!!! It make me really happy to see him more
@@shestewa6581 agreed! He's super charming!
It’s been really sweet seeing him come out of his shell
I know I remember
I love how Paul and Stuart act and look like 2 proud fathers towards Emily
same
Yeah,!
And they can do that because they have taught Emily so much throughout this project of hers, Emily would not have been able to do this without Paul and Stewart or if she did do it would not have went as smoothly as it did
Stewart* also it's because they have taught Emily a lot about it so they are proud of her for doing all for it.
Love wins
I can just imagine a montage of the gnome going through the airport, flying first-class back to Dallas, and hailing a taxi back to Universal Rocks.
Travelocity commercial
Yep.
Hmmm. Try it with Southwest? After all, they had fun with a pool noodle... 🙃
I'm honestly going to be a bit sad when the updates on the facility stop because it's done. They are always so fun to watch.
Agreed!
We’ll be getting baby snake videos so though!
i do love the facility updates.
Same! Emily may have been worried at first that no one would want to watch them, but C'MON, we get to see neat herp enclosures AND get things like rootbeer wood and Patricia the Box Slayer?? Best vids to watch while waiting for hatching season videos.
Same 😭
Snake Discovery fans, three years from now, showing friends the zoo: "-And this one pole right here is named Queen LaTreefa. She guards our entry."
Queen LaTreefa, Keanu Leaves and Tree buscemi need name tags, in my opinion. Would be a funny inside joke for those crazy people who play the play/pause/play/pause-game at every video to read every hidden joke :D
@@ipanema753 agree😂✨
“oh this tree in the middle of Rex‘s enclosure yeah that wasn’t originally supposed to be there”
WAIT-
I MIGHT BE A BIT TOO EVIL
FEED ‘EM LIES ABOUT THE ZOO-
@@adeaddeity7265 Nonsense, this is a beautiful idea that everyone should participate in.
"You see, Rex actually ate several of the trees during construction, the energy she used in trying to digest them is why she's still so small as a full-grown adult."
Honestly, though, they'll *all* sound made up- Emily and Mandy wrote bad pickup lines in the walls for gods sake 🤣
As an Australian I don’t realize how strong our accents are until I hear it against other nationalities 🤣
SSAAMME
Every time they talk I question if anyone else got what they were saying 🤣🤣
I love the accent, its so much warmer sounding
literally
Same but with british
You should put a "Staff Only" sign on that black door that could be mistaken for an exit.
Perfect
Yah perfect 👍
How fantastic that Paul and Stuart, who have their own businesses, take time to help Snake Discovery. Really amazing.
Agreed!
It's definitely awesome of them! But it also gives them and their businesses some great exposure. I know I would have never visited a website for a company that sells artificial rocks if they hadn't been on this show, ha.
I'm sure they're paid not only for their products but also for their time, Paul especially was putting in multiple twelve hour days in a row, that's not something I would expect from a friend volunteering for free
With adding seating for people to rest please don't use seating which is low profile! Some people who are elderly or people who have disabilities can find it incredibly difficult to get up from a seat which is low set and if there isn't someone there to help them up they have to ask for assistance, whereas if you have seating that's not low down those people will find it much easier to have a rest and then get up independently.
Love all the work you do, the facility is looking amazing and it so cool that you're sharing the process with us!
Need both though for shorter guests
Don't make all the seating really high though, people with knee issues who can't bend them much would be in a lot of pain trying to sit too far off the ground with their knees at a 90 degree angle. Ideally there would be two or more benches at different heights.
@@raccoontrashpanda1467 I have a lot of knee issues, but I’m tall and can’t sit in low chairs or benches. Sometimes I can’t even bend to get in or out of low seats with assistance.
One of the hardest parts of accessibility is maintaining access for as many people as possible even when disabilities conflict.
What if you’re short tho 🥺
Not to forget pregnant women!
Oh once you guys open, you should totally have one of those push pin maps in the shop or somewhere where people can put a pin on the map of where they're visiting from!
Fun idea
Yes!!!! Would be awesome!!
What if it was like a magnet board with magnets that look like push-pins? Just imagining kids poking themselves
Push pin boards are a great idea for visitors like me to push pointillism pictures of dongs onto your maps
I really love this idea, but I’m kind off torn between this and another idea (not mine, I’ve seen a few others comment this), a wall where you can compare how tall you are compared to other animals. Like you are as tall as *insert snake species they have in the zoo*, or your hand is as big as *insert name of spider*. Similar to how you can match your arm span to the wing spans of different birds, maybe she could do both????? Or maybe instead off where you are from, you can put a pin where your favourite reptile comes from?
Visiting their facility is now on my bucket list. Don't know how, just that it's going to happen.
saaaaaaaaaaame
Me too but it’s a 22 hour long drive
Its in different country and some people say that the international borders will open in 2024!?
Idk if its true.
sameeee ofc i would want to be at a facility that snake discovery built but im too far away
Yes me too! I live in Australia though so it probably won't happen :/
Emily slowly adopting more and more Australianisms as time goes on is my favorite thing.
The fact the vendors she's using are so interested in the whole deal they're coming out to help is amazing!
Idk if you guys have already come up with something but in case you haven’t, I’d recommend having some periscopes for wheelchair users to see into the upper enclosures. Can’t wait until the zoo is ready 🙂
That is such an awesome idea! I had been wondering how they could include wheelchair users and kids that have to stay in their strollers. Periscopes are fun for everyone!
If I’m not mistaken I think they mentioned something similar in another update video. 🤔but just Incase they didn’t, I’m just commenting so they can see this. You could also dm them on instagram!
@@meobviously5453 I think they mentioned ledges to stand on which doesn't help wheelchair users
Such a good idea!!
Your use of Australian was spot on Emily. “Sparrows fart” was used correctly. The guys didn’t lie😄
Time stamp? I think I missed that one
@@lilybean9585 27:15
A comedian called Jonathan pie said that too
My dad in the UK always used this expression. Another popular for phrase for something tiny was ‘a gnats diddlin’
@@manetheren51627 can’t believe I missed that, I guess I’m so used to hearing it 🤣
I am just laughing that Emily didn't do an Introduction to Dav. She was like "And here is Dav doing sand painting." I am here like, "Omg, Dav is just there and he needs no introduction."
I hope he will just casually drop by and give tours or work the counter.
*Dav 😉
Lol
@@pippetandpossum Will do that 😂
@@spanishmountains4588 Honestly I hope so too. Like he just randomly shows up and works at the facility.
Kids especially-ok adults too, lol-are going to be enthralled seeing all this. So much work. Everyone involved, Emily and Ed of course, should be so proud of all their work. Everything looks incredible.
Edit: ANIMAL MAKERS make realistic creatures for movies. They might have bats.
Oooo great idea!
Saw a chanel called snake TV here on youtube using the snake discovery logo thought Emily and Ed would like to be noticed
Like so they get a better chance at seing this!
They know and are trying to get it removed. :(
You can always report their channel for using a copyrighted logo.
seeing*
I reported the channel, and I recommend others do as well.
Paul and Stuart are so incredibly awesome to help so much and it makes me so happy that Emily has her invert cave. I remember the video where she talked about her background and she worked in a cave and loved it but the culture of the staff was toxic so she had to leave - now she has her own cave.
Stuart's praise made me feel like a proud parent listening to teachers say how good their children have been
me too :')
awh
I am now firmly convinced that if we had to remake THE GRAND CANYON, Stuart would get the call first. 😂
He's a very creative guy
Yeh, that wouldn't surprise me.
He’s probably already taken a mould
*takes a minute, deep breath, puts phone phone down, and gathers the crew*
"Boys, we've just been given the job of a lifetime. We've been asked to make a Grand Canyon remodel. History is about to be made."
*excited Aussie cheering*
soooooooo true
What you should do once the zoo opens is hide the gnome in a different spot every day, and kids (or kids at heart) that find him get like a piece of candy or a sticker as a price
I was thinking the same exact thing except for pickle Rick 😂
Ed filming his own segment - now thats character development!
I love how they’re going the extra mile everytime they work on a project at the facility to make sure that everything looks nice and to make sure the animals feel comfortable. Even tiny details like sand painting and coloring the sides of holes in with black sharpie. I’m SO excited to come here and see all of the animals! 👏❤️
Yup
Stuart and Paul are such good people! They get so involved with the building and are like lightning all over the place fixing the things and doing what needs doing, but they also pass along the skills needed to make it all look good too, so you can do it without them being here. Plus they get so involved with the videos too! They're so fun and silly, I love it!
Plus cameo Dav, we love you too dude ^_^
The fact that you have so many friends & family who show up & work so hard to help you guys realize your dream is such a great testament to what amazing people you are. Congrats!!
“We’re not gonna tell you were the light switch is” *proceeds to turn on the lights, showing us where the light switch is hidden* 🤣
She said that she wouldn't show us the light switch for the zoo. She showed us the light switch for the invert cave.
Stuart reminds me of a really supportive dad, saying how proud and impressed he is, helping out and teaching. Proud dad vibes
"We want to know how much abuse it can take before it falls."
Rex: "So its my turn, then?"
Underrated comment
They said "abuse" not "pure violence and chaos"
Totally!!!!!
Rex is my favorite.
Emily said abuse not Domestic violence
Do you guys remember when Emily said in the end of Facility update #1"I think we are going to make this video into two parts" And look at it now facility update #13 it is a grate thing
great* I'm sorry I had to
@@sarah.gee1 I'm a big grammar and spelling person I just had to
Yeah me to
"Oh no, I'm turning Aussie" 😂😂haha it's ok we will welcome your transition
XD
Huh
@@Moonlight-rx2lv wdym huh?
Nothing
Aussies are amazing 👍
Not sure if em or Ed will see this.
You guys and everyone need some major recognition.
Emily & Ed you guys are putting in a incredible amount of hard work between , working at the zoo , filming and editing. It's incredible. You two need a vacation once everything is running smoothly.
And of course to everyone who helped. Thus far Thank you 🙂
Can we take a second to appreciate everyone who helps with the facility, and Emily and Ed for making amazing content for us! ❤️
Yes thank you all for all the hard work. It looks great.
The invert cave looks SO SO SICK. The place is coming together fantastically. It’s incredibly cool to watch Stuart work, and awesome that Paul and Stuart have the kinds of businesses that can give that kind of attention to their customers. A++ keep up the great work!
Benches are a great addition! Not everyone is going to be able to walk around the zoo without taking a break, so now they can use the bench!
they just can't be too low profile though, since many of us can't get up from very low seats!
Its so wholesome when he compliments about the zoo she gets so happy and shy
When Emily is explaining stuff like the ventilation tube and the holes needing colored in then the screen. It all seems so "unnecessary" but in the long run it is very very necessary!! So so many things to think about and do when opening a place like this its not just pop up some cages put some animals in it and move on....
It really hit me how great it is that you are filming yourselves doing everything. I love that you guys are doing it with a few experts but mostly with friends and family. There is a lot of love going into this building
Emily: oh! We have a Mandy!
Mandy: *runs away*
Emily: ah, she’s so elusive.
she is indeed 😬 we need more Mandy in out lifes
Don’t steal her beer.
@@ilovewaffles1234 you don’t want to know what happens then lol
So cool to watch y'all develop relationships with people like Stuart & Paul. When Stuart days he's proud of Emily & Ed 🥲🥲🥲
Stewart was so sweet to Emily when she was showing him the zoo!! You could see the pride all over her face 😍
I love how Stuart and Paul are treating Emily like a daughter, it’s so cute and funny 😂❤️
Stuart's artistry is so stunning
I haven't seen the whole video, so sorry if this problem has already been solved, but Emily, contact MadeYewLook here on youtube to make some realistic bats!! I don't know for sure if she would do it, but it would be really cool. :D
Adding a comment to help call attention to this.
That's a really good idea
That’s really cool! Everyone else has amazing ideas and I’m just here like “it looks great!” 😅
Yes.
Great idea!!
It would be really cool if AntsCanada participates in the buildoff. The enclosure he creates for his ants and other creatures are super cool!
AntsCanada!!
Yes!!!
Omg yes
Considering he lives in the Philippines this year might be out but it would be cool to see him participate
Emily being so pleased at the praise reminds me of when your favorite teacher tells you you're doing well. 😁
She's so stinkin cute!
“Aussies and their knives” had me dead 😂💀
As an Aussie who has many knives and almost always has one on me I feel so called out 😅
I’m so proud of Ed for how far he’s come like from never appearing ever to now actually doing part of the videoing great job guys
You could tell Stew was a little nervous being on camera but he did his best, adorable.
Your place (needless to say) is going to be something very special. Don´t forget that Kamp Kenan has 2 very beautiful Monkey Tailed Skinks that he´s looking to rehome. I´m sure he would be very happy to see them come to your place. 🦎
Snake Discovery: Posts a video
Me: FRANTIC CLICKING STARTS
Well your name is Clicker fox so it’s not surprising 😄🙂
me too
I read that as “FRANKLIN IT’S TIME!” For som reason
@@crazycatkid8785 Ha! I didn’t think of that!
Yep😆
Hi Emily, and Ed
Paul and Stuart really make the enclosures come alive with the moss look, and all the added plants. It looks so real. Stuart was very clever making those doors to get access to the back of the enclosures.🐊🦎🐍🐢♥️ Cindy
While the tree in the isle is very kewl to walk under, please remember those of us who roll instead of walk. Hopefully there will be enough room for rollators and wheelchairs to make it under and around all these amazing places in the zoo and store. Love u guys! Can’t wait to visit!
I lowkey love this channel. And the facility updates are key favorites I cant wait to come there one day.
Yes😏😏
Me too!!
Remember when she fownd a machete
The people in front of me have 2011 in there name
I'm glad I live in Illinois, so Wisconsin is pretty close
@@ThatOneCatInATopHat LOL
Dave Kaufman just being the “paint the stuff we can’t reach” guy made my day!
me, been playing too much minecraft lately: oh no you guys left the cave too dark, things are gonna spawn
Lol
lol
Lol
Lol
Oh no Not the zombies! 😂😂😂
Stuart is so incredibly artistic. Awesome job.
I love how Aussie Paul and Stuart act because it seems so random in an American video even though Aussie tradies talk like this 24/7
Emily, now that you have acknowledged the light exists people will actively look for it.
Yes. That was a mistake to acknowledge that it is accessible to the public. 😳
Indeed
An easy solution would be a plastic cover that needs a password to open or a.key
Every time they add something cool or dangly that will be out where the public can reach it, I say a little prayer that no guests will lean on it / poke holes in it / pull bits off of it / pick at it / stab it / kick it / chew on it / otherwise fold, spindle, or mutilate it. Probably because I’ve taught middle school for 22 years and I’ve seen the devastation that a troop of them can leave in their wake through sheer thoughtlessness. Love me some kids, but they don’t necessarily think before they act. ❤️
Middle school is essentially the same as kindergarten, except the kids are hitting puberty and know the full power of their mobility
You guys should put a small sign or a picture of an animal where Emily said that they were going to put a bench for people to sit. So that the customers can take pictures.
A cardboard cutout of Ed and Emily!!! 😆❤️
It's hilarious and wild hearing Emily adopt Aussie-isms from being around her two co-workers/art teachers for so long! Sparrow's Fart is probably my favorite! XD
The telegraph pole wrappings LOOK SO GOOD!! It's consistently impressive how much Universal Rocks people know about painting and interior designing and making things LOOK wet (which i admit would worry me without knowing it was fake!) with just epoxy and glue! The 'moss' being foam and painted sawdust was GENIUS! Never underestimate the value of showing off How To Do Things, even if it's "off-brand" or just a one-and-done event! I can TOTALLY imagine someone getting inspired to get into set design and painting from a spark of inspiration like this video!
Who just saw one of her vids 3 years ago and just keep on watching her. Keep up your good work!
I'm Australian and it seems like every day I learn a new way we mock ourselves with ridiculous expressions 😁
Hey just to let you know there's no captions. I am not deaf but for the deaf I thought I would point it out.
Love your videos!!
Bumping for awareness! I'm too excited not to watch rn but I'm probably gonna have to rewatch it later with captions because I'm pretty sure I have an auditory processing issue and I'm missing like 3/4s of what they say 😅
BUMPING
I really shouldn't be this excited over it, but I really am. I Absolutely love that you're documenting all the progress for us as well even when you're working your butts off. It makes me feel like I'm apart of all of it.
Yes!!
I remember when you almost just started, it’s so much fun to see how far you guys have come!
Also, if you weren’t already thinking about it and want to, you guys could put little speakers in spots, that play nature sounds
It's so much fun watching people work on their passion projects and getting tons of lovely people to help them....
And it also puts in stark contrast how little I'm doing with my life ;-;
….
out of curiosity, I watched the first facility update. I never realized how much it has changed until I watched it. So proud of you guys!
I may just go do that, too!
I bet once this is all finished, you will be so happy you have all this footage to look back on. You guys have put in so much work, you should be so proud of yourselves!
Is it just me or dose Emily seem nervous when she is giving the tour. At least at the beginning. She is so amazing. This is why I watch her. I relate to her sooooooo soooo much
Honestly, her generally relatable and *human* persona is likely a huge part of the channel's popularity!
IKR! They are relatable enough to actually understand. I feel like if I meet them I feel like we would all just get along
I am absolutely in awe of how much thought and creativity has gone into every single part of the facility. Every single person has committed so much to making everything perfect- it all looks amazing and every person involved has done an incredible job 👍❤️
Emily, you should definitely add something called ambient scenting which is where you introduce different scents to enhance a customers experience. so for example you can have maybe a damp smell to work with the humidity of the air or a smell of jungle or wherever the reptiles come from in that area. you can also do the same with sounds-add birds screeching or rain noises to represent the jungle or wind in trees. also lighting, it all just adds really nicely to the full experience ;)
Emily I know you probably won’t see this but I’m working on another fan mail envelope and I’m so excited to see your reaction!(i say another because I sent one back in 2018)
I sure hope she notices, Also where's the Fan mail videos?
@@jugejuju thank you! And you can find them simply by searching “snake discovery fan mail”
Woah your getting likes fast..I saw that u were on 64 now your on 67!!
@@am3Iiq oh dang
After working an 11 hour shift (when I was scheduled to work 8 hours), I was SO hoping there'd be a new SD video when I got home. Thank you, Emily and Ed!
Hope you got some good rest 🙂
Do you not worry about Rex ripping the tree up? She seems pretty tough on her pens. Especially the ones in the water.
You should have some sound effects playing in the invert cave. Like ‘night’ or ‘dripping’ sounds 🤗
If you guys are worried about the light switches getting turned on and off you can get switches that use a key to turn them on and off, maybe you guys can look into them
Kids, say it with me: ANNUAL SNAKE DISCOVERY BUILD-OFF!! Omg i'm so excited to see all the creations!
You can tell Stuart is a Professional Landscaper. Also, I believe due to Child Safety issues, the Hallway Cave will have to be fully lighted especially with the Restrooms being there.
it will probably have more light from where the insects are
@@dark1alucard I think the Restroom entrance area needs to be fully lighted because you can't have Children walk in/out of a darken hallway. It's Cool there will be invertebrates exhibits but it's an utility area first and Safety is a priority.
They have a restrooms sign, but it won't be hard to get more "cave appropriate lighting" should the inspector require it
Hey I have an idea for the gnome! What if he had a small whiteboard hung on him that displayed a reptile “fact of the week”! If you put it in the back for parties then it could say happy birthday ______ or welcome to whatever group is coming in.
I love hearing Emily absorb little bits of aussie accent. I've had the same happen to me with a southern drawl in the past so I know how that happens
maaaate!!! 2 Aussies helping! bloody awesome! love the telegraph poles, when international travel opens up or Aussies in the US come to visit, it'll feel a little bit like home
Hey Emily! I just wanted to say that your videos have really helped me through a hard time. Recently when i came out to my mom as Lesbian, she called me a disgrace and has been calling me names ever since. Whenever I see your videos popping up on my notifications, my face lights up.
Thank you Emily!
i'm sorry about your mom is like that just know that you're valid no matter what anyone else says you're not a disgrace your sexuality is completely valid 💛💛💛
*Slowly grabs bat* I see that I have left a homophob alive, I shall rid of it now-
(I am also Lesbian and when I saw this comment I couldn't help but reply ovo)
@@asunflower7993 thank you
I'm so sorry that your Mom has been so hateful. I don't personally agree with homosexuality but I recognize that it's a valid life. I hope that your Mom will one day reconsider her anger and will open her heart again for you.
i feel that too. i came out as a lesbian not too long ago and my dad hasn’t talked to me since. i hope you’re doing okay!
Who cares is first, we are blessed with a cave! :D
Edit: TWO CAVES
Weeeee
Anyone else think it's hilarious that you could put all the bloopers together from videos to make a blooper life video xD
Thank goodness you guys have so many great friends and family members who are willing and able to help you get everything together for and in the Zoo!!
There has been so much work to do, you needed the small army of loyal loved ones helping out.
I love that you have brought us along on the journey of building your very own zoo! It kind of feels like we are involved, even though we aren’t able to physically help out.
You guys are all doing such an amazing job.
I'm so glad you guys did so many facility updates. Being new to the channel, I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey to the soft open, to the soon official opening.
I can't compliment Paul and Stuart (Stewart?) on their creativity and command of their trades. These gentlemen know what they're doing and they do it incredibly well.
Almost caught up on all the updates. Excellent job,everyone!
Paul and Stuart are such a pair. They're amazing working together and super funny 😁😁
I'm really interested so see how Rex's enclosure turns out. Cause right now it looks like Rex could just climb out 😆
ok but the two guys at the beginning seemed so kind and I appreciated them very much
Rex's space looks too small..I can't wait to see her in the space because I'm sure it's bigger than it looks.
It looks amazing! Y’all are very blessed to have so many friends that are willing to help! But when you are good people like Ed and Emily ,of course you have great friends!!! Love you guys!!
Paul and Stuart/Stewart really said enclosure for reptiles? No, enclosure for visitors 😊 Let’s give them some nice trees. Ty, we appreciate them :D
The objects having full conversations in the background is beauty
The invert Cave looked soo much cooler than what I had imagined. The whole zoo is just going to he amazing, Keep up the great work.🐊🦎🐍🐸🥰😁
It really is amazing to watch the process from exposed wood to faux rock/old timber. WOW. It's like magic
The Aussie references and influence make me feel right at home 🇦🇺🦘
