Do you have an australian critter named Irwin yet? This guy really is a beaut! And it would be a wonderful homage to the first guy to teach us about loving reptiles before Snake Discovery was a zoo.
There was a video where they went to see some enclosures where they are made and Emily stood inside one, they said she’s about 6ft tall as she was the same size as the huge enclosure.
Ahahaha when Emily said we need a sticky note on this saying it’s not a woma python and Ed’s reply of “this isn’t a woma Python?!” The face he makes is priceless 11:40
Once, many years ago, my Mum lost her engagement ring whilst gardening. She was utterly devastated, and beat herself up about it for months. Come the spring, as the bulbs started to break through, there it was lifted out the soil by a plant growing up through the middle. Just gows to show that nature is a miracle in all sorts of ways!
I won't lie, the way Emily and Ed play around, it's so damn precious. Reminds me of how I am with my spouse and I always love to see that. You both are great 😊
plus happier animals usually lead to happier viewing experiences, its a win for everyone :) nothing worse than going to the zoo and alllll the animals are just hiding away or frightened.
Only Emily and Ed would just renovate a whole zoo exhibit and even try to painstakingly match its natural environment better than "official" zoos. Y'all are so pure and welcome to the family lil blue man
I love that your enclosures are big enough for Emily to fit in, and you put appropriate enrichment and environment for the species being homed in it. You both do a wonderful job.
Its amazing to see how well he climbs around and scales those walls given the condition his leg was in when he was surrendered. So happy he made such a magnificent recovery and now gets to live a happy life in his new enclosure.
I love @rawritsataco’s suggestion to call the monitor Irwin, but to me he seems a little too spicy for Steve. (Although he is an enthusiastic explorer, for sure!) An alternative name could be Bandit, which is the name of the dad in the Australian cartoon “Bluey”. I would suggest Bluey as a name, but in Australia that’s really what we call blue-tongued lizards rather than blue-tailed monitors, so a Bluey-adjacent moniker seemed fitting. 💙 Whatever his name, he’s going to be one happy chappy in that gorgeous enclosure!
I still really like the name Celski (as a reference to the speed* skater who recovered from a horrid gash that could've cost him his left leg, his career, and maybe even his life, and still ended up getting Olympic Bronze in 2010 despite everything) that someone mentioned from the last video, but knowing Emily's love of "normal" names, I wanted to mention that Celski's full name is John Robert (J.R.) Celski, as well as make another case here for the name! It's too perfect, it's the same leg and everything! Edit: Adding here that the original comment was left on the video of his recovery and surgery by Haley Houdini! * Edit 2: He was not a figure skater, my bad!
You could name him after Steve Irwin. Steve was once grabbed on the hand and pulled into the water by a croc. He could have easily lost a hand and was very lucky to walk away in all likelihood. Plus he was also an Aussie! I think Irwin would be a cute name for him. ❤️
@shannonleclair7411 his kids and wife still run the zoo Australia and do videos and shows still. You can search RUclips for Steve's specials you'll hear his name it's his last name.
You two are hilarious, "I'm not married now?" Ed books it out of there. The first time I saw you two I was watching a vid where Emily was doing a show for a little girl's biday party & both of you were backstage battling over chocolates someone had left out. 😂😂😂
The first I saw was probably Emily showing some snake in her home and Ed being super shy hiding behind the camera. But I fell for this channel immidiatly from the first video, Emily is an amazing reptile teacher.
I’m so happy you all decided to keep him. I hope he stays healthy and I hope he thrives. ❤ I think he loves his enclosure. Him scaling the walls was amazing
You can see how much Ed loves this dude already and it's super awesome to behold. I've always liked the name Ragnar. Can't wait to see another update and hopefully this amazing dude's permanent name. 🤘🏻❤️🔥
I'm thinking Achilles or Hephaestus (Festus for short) would be a cool name for him. Achilles because of his heel and Hephaestus had a limp so it fits. I'm leaning more on Hephaestus since he was a god and well the blue-tail monitor has a rock for offerings of food and it sounds funny to say "Oh here is your sacrifice, buddy." when you feed it
That enclosure is enrichment overload! It’s perfect for him!! The whole background is his rock climbing wall and will be great for rehabing his leg. So nice to see his progress from a sad, angry, injured monitor to an active, inquisitive, new member of the Snake Discovery family. 🦎
Being an Aussie I know of Australian slang, but I can’t go past naming him ‘Ocker’ which when seen in a positive way means an honest, laid-back, fair dinkum, fun-loving larrikin.
Funny.. in Germany, Ocker is the term for a shade of earthy yellow colour.. Entirely unrelated, just felt like replying this to your comment X'D The word Larrikin itself sounds like a name to me, gotta name my next fish that ^^
Can I just say how much I love your channel. I have watched you since you worked from home and showed us all your sneks and co, and then building this incredible place. You have set the level for caring for animals and on top of that are entertaining and loveable people. And I know you have the respect of the reptile community as well. So much love from Finland, from a dog owner and someone who is no longer afraid of danger noodles.
Y’all are true saints. Legit just out here saving all the reptiles/animals it makes me so happy I can’t even imagine where so many would be right now if it wasn’t for your Adoption Island and of course you two adopting them yourselves. Such beautiful souls you have Emily & Ed on behalf of everyone you’ve saved and kept or found good homes for THANK YOU REALLY AND TRULY FROM THE BOTTOM OF ALL THE HEARTS THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
He looked pretty good at the end of the last video, but seeing that little dude climb all over his enclosure shows off just how well recovered he is!! So glad everything regarding his leg turned out so well 😊
I giggled way to much when Ed fake ran for it over not being married for a sec. xD Thank you guys for this video. It's a nice closure for our new Lizard buddy.
I like the names Irwin, King, and Mufasa. Mufasa is kinda random but Mufasa and Scar are brothers in Lion King and he has a scar on his leg. Love y’all’s work so much!
My half native Australian friend suggests you name him with a Native flare to the name such as Miro which means “spear”, Djalu which means “lightning”, or Daymion which means “clever” or “quick-witted”.
I'm really impressed with how well he's climbing and getting around after his whole leg infection. To think he could have had it amputated to making a full recovery, its just brilliant. Looking forward to learning his new name , he sure is gorgeous 🥰
You could put a little garden in the greenhouse and grow your own greens for the animals. Save some money on the ever expanding grocery bill. You could have your program classes help with it, a great learning experience for the kids to see where the food comes from.
I somehow came up with a good name for him a year later: Terry after Terry Fox, the athlete who lost a leg to a particularly nasty cancer at 18 and spent the last 5 years of his life on a truly massive fundraiser for cancer research. It was a cross-Canada run called Marathon of Hope. Unfortunately his cancer proved fatal. He wasn't able to finish the run, but he is rightfully honoured for the amazing things he accomplished. There's a charity run held every year in his honour, though it's called the Terry Fox Run. Even though our little guy was able to keep his organic leg, unlike the human Terry Fox, he went through a difficult recovery from a rather tough leg problem too. He's also quite the runner! ❤
Awesome new start for this guy. Rescue reptiles who have gone through intense rehab always crack me up with their rescuers - how they act so full of hate. I rescued a veiled chameleon who acted like he hated me his entire life. When he got sick (cancer) I took him to the vet. He turned some crazy colors I had never seen and hissed/bit the vet during the inspection. When they handed him back to me, he immediately put on his relaxed colors, curled up in my hands, and fell asleep. That's when I realized all that "hatred" for me was a show. He trusted me the whole time. Even the reptiles who don't do well with handling bond with us in other ways we don't realize, especially when we save them and help them feel better. My name nomination for this guy is Imhotep because he has y'all resurrecting lost body parts and bringing him offerings on a slate 😂
The first video with him in it, the name Bluey came to mind. He’s adorBs. Thanks for sharing his recovery. Y’all remind me of my spouse and me! We do not act our age nor do we need forgiveness for it either. Keep having fun and love, love love. 💖💖💖
It's great that he is doing so well! He looks really happy and healthy, especially with what happened to his leg. I believe animals are grateful for what people do for them, and I feel he is really thankful for you guys keeping him and helping him keep his leg.
With the name, how about a Australian Aboriginal name? Like Mirri meaning "The Sun", since you bring him offerings of food to his basking spot. Love how well he moves and that he was added to the Zoo family! The videos makes my day every day I see them. Thank you for the education and the fun!
I think Montgomery Montgomery, from a serious of unfortunate events, would be a good name for him (apologies if female, I haven't watched the leg surgery video yet). It looked like he likes to explore and his nickname could be Monty both referring to his name and his species.
Aww I'm so glad you made this video! I've been looking forward to it but didn't expect it to be so soon haha! I vote for the name Steve for this new monitor. A homage to the late Mr. Irwin and Australia
Love that you guys have a Doreanus on display now. They are so beautiful and amazing to watch how intelligent they are. I have a male that I have named Drax “The Destroyer’ since his tail is blue and he destroys his enclosure. 😆
He's a beauty of a monitor and a perfect addition. I love the new enclosure so perfect and huge for him to explore and use the leg. Ya'll are perfection. Irwin is a great name and a lot of others are saying the same. He's an Australian explorer.
Since monitors can learn their names just like crocodilians, it would be a great idea to keep his name short, simple, but unique! Something related to his striking blue tail would make a perfect name. Alternatively, you could name him after a place in Queensland, where he's native to in Aus! Such as: Mackay, (Port) Douglas, (Cape) York, Torres (Strait), Cairns, (Great Barrier) Reef, Daintree (Rainforest).
When you said "leaving him an offering" when you left the mouse on the basking stone, Xerxes popped into my head as a name for him. He may not be 7 feet tall but he is pretty long lol
He’s definitely one of the luckiest blue tailed monitors for sure! Healed up so well, and now he has a gorgeous mansion! Congrats dude🎉 and I love you😃💙 Oh and.. about his name, the other day was Steve Irwin’s birthday, so let’s name him Steve or Irwin!!
I love how you actually care for your reptiles and other animals, if they don't like being in the zoo then they are moved in the back and those who are more social and enjoy people watching get moved into the zoo. Much better than a lot of other zoos
Those tounge flicks are cute! I'm glad he all healed up and now living in the zoo in a wonderful enclosure! Edit: him lying in the baskin spot reminded me of rex when she's in a food coma. I also didn't know monitor lizards could climb like that
to repost a very well liked comment by Haley Houdini from the last video so it has the same opportunity to be seen! "Name him Celski! After the olympic speed skater who sustained a huge gash to his thigh during a race, they weren't sure he'd survive or ever be able to skate again. five months after the injury he ended up recovering fully and getting Bronze in the 2010 Olympics! Also their injuries are on the same leg, left :)" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Me when looking at the enclosure before you guys took everything out of it: that looks kinda small for a monitor.... After seeing Emily climb inside it to clean it: oh yeah. That's good. 🤣
He's beautiful and I'm so happy that he's staying at the Zoo! I've been trying to think of "blue" names but haven't thought of anything other than Aquaman... Yeah. Not great. Best of luck!🍀🍀🍀
I love seeing how much wholesome fun you guys have doing these things despite the hard work (and blood! lol)! The edit showing off the enclosure gave me a good giggle.
He is such a beautiful monitor! I think his name could Peter Parker (or even Spider-Man) because he was scaling up the walls! Anyway the work Snake Discovery does is awesome, this channel is very kind, playful, and educational. THANK YOU! 💖
Last night I had a dream that my leopard geckos duplicated themselves, one of my geckos (spinx) ended up becoming a two headed gecko instead of fully duplicating Which actually might've been safer because I dont have the space or money to add more enclosures but obviously I cant just leave two males in an enclosure together I have dreams similar to that one where my geckos accidentally get a roommate but I dont have any resources to fix it and it's a dream so it doesn't last long enough for me to actually be able to fix it so I just panic even though I know it's a dream, and in the dream I knew it was a dream and actually it was a dream in a dream and in the dream where I woke up from the original dream all three geckos where normal and spinx was really cute
Do you have an australian critter named Irwin yet? This guy really is a beaut! And it would be a wonderful homage to the first guy to teach us about loving reptiles before Snake Discovery was a zoo.
He looks like he could pull off the name Steve too!
My Woma Python at home is named Irwin 😅
Irwin is a great name snake discovery should
Irwin would be a great name
Actually I take my name suggestions back, this one is such a great suggestion!
I never realize how big an enclosure is until Emily is sitting inside of it
Especially since Emily is pretty tall! I used to think she was short because Ed is taller but it turns out they're both pretty tall.
There was a video where they went to see some enclosures where they are made and Emily stood inside one, they said she’s about 6ft tall as she was the same size as the huge enclosure.
An Emily for scale 😂
I mean. For real.
ya, she is pretty tall
Emily put her blood, sweat, tears and even her wedding ring into this enclosure! 🤣Fully committed to the Zoo I see-
HAH, nice😂
NICE
Ahahaha when Emily said we need a sticky note on this saying it’s not a woma python and Ed’s reply of “this isn’t a woma Python?!” The face he makes is priceless 11:40
Ikr? Ed is so frickin funny 😂
Specially him doing voices for the animals is so funny to me.
And to think he was so camerashy in the beginning 😆

I won't lie, the way Emily and Ed play around, it's so damn precious. Reminds me of how I am with my spouse and I always love to see that. You both are great 😊
They are adorable!!!
Of course! You marry the person that's most fun to annoy! 😂
Exactaly😂😂😅😅
So true! 😂
The banter about the ring was absolutely adorable I couldn’t stop smiling 🥹
I just have to say I love how Ed and Emily do not force any animals that don’t want to be in the zoo to stay in the zoo. They are truly amazing people
plus happier animals usually lead to happier viewing experiences, its a win for everyone :) nothing worse than going to the zoo and alllll the animals are just hiding away or frightened.

You should name him Bluey since he is an icon, has a blue tail and is australian! Love that newer style of editing by the way!

Brilliant! Although I'm still in love with naming him Thor, Steve or Irwin 🤣
Bluey is an Australian nickname for Red heads! Perhaps they should call him
Red instead 🤣
Bluey! Bluey! Bluey!
It's a kids TV show here in Australia.
Yeah I said bluey mainly for the blue doggo
Braveheart? He’s got blue on him and he’s a warrior. I love the enclosure and glad you found your ring!
As an Aussie, I can say with authority, that he should be named Bazza. Bazza the Blue-tailed Monitor.

8:40 ed manhandling things was so hilarious, like his chaotic reptile dad energy was coming out

I am so glad you decided to keep him
Those animals are so fortunate that you put such attention into every habitat! Good husbandry is so fun to watch.
I loved the MTV Cribs style editing on the enclosure reveal lol

This is like watching Extreme home makeover but for reptiles and I love it!!
He’s back so quickly
Those tounge flicks are cute! I'm glad he all healed up and now living in the zoo in a wonderful enclosure!
Edit: him lying in the baskin spot reminded me of rex when she's in a food coma. I also didn't know monitor lizards could climb like that
I LOVE what you did with his new enclosure!! It's super awesome. And he's such a beautiful monitor!
Ed's face at 11:40 made me chuckle. It was perfect!
Yay I was waiting to see this!!!!♡
to repost a very well liked comment by Haley Houdini from the last video so it has the same opportunity to be seen!
"Name him Celski! After the olympic speed skater who sustained a huge gash to his thigh during a race, they weren't sure he'd survive or ever be able to skate again. five months after the injury he ended up recovering fully and getting Bronze in the 2010 Olympics!
Also their injuries are on the same leg, left :)"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Such a lively new addition to the zoo. I'm sure the kids are gonna love him
Imagine the blue tailed Monitor find’s the ring and then Ed is married to the Monitor,I can see it the best love story going to Netflix
Call him Whiplash. He's fast, he's got a long whip-like tail, and he came back from the brink of death
He could be Eiffel after Eiffel 65 who made Blue (da ba Dee.)
Me when looking at the enclosure before you guys took everything out of it: that looks kinda small for a monitor....
After seeing Emily climb inside it to clean it: oh yeah. That's good. 🤣
Oh my gosh yall really know how to take care of your animals. I watched blue tails recovery and it was crazy he's a trooper
He's beautiful and I'm so happy that he's staying at the Zoo!
I've been trying to think of "blue" names but haven't thought of anything other than Aquaman...
Yeah. Not great.
Best of luck!🍀🍀🍀
That's a cool enclosure! It's cool to see him running around and exploring it
I love seeing how much wholesome fun you guys have doing these things despite the hard work (and blood! lol)! The edit showing off the enclosure gave me a good giggle.
What if you called him Bluey? She's also a blue Australian critter, and very popular with people of all ages!
that's a very Aussie name indeed
a lot of people here in the first minute
Yeah
I would say, this is one of the coolest enclosures!! So amazing!
So happy to see he enjoying and exploring the space :)
He is so cute😊❤ in the scales the wall it’s so cool and I was lol the whole time
I think it should be alfalfa
He is such a beautiful monitor! I think his name could Peter Parker (or even Spider-Man) because he was scaling up the walls! Anyway the work Snake Discovery does is awesome, this channel is very kind, playful, and educational. THANK YOU! 💖
Last night I had a dream that my leopard geckos duplicated themselves, one of my geckos (spinx) ended up becoming a two headed gecko instead of fully duplicating
Which actually might've been safer because I dont have the space or money to add more enclosures but obviously I cant just leave two males in an enclosure together
I have dreams similar to that one where my geckos accidentally get a roommate but I dont have any resources to fix it and it's a dream so it doesn't last long enough for me to actually be able to fix it so I just panic even though I know it's a dream, and in the dream I knew it was a dream and actually it was a dream in a dream and in the dream where I woke up from the original dream all three geckos where normal and spinx was really cute
Chole in the background is so funny.
I think naming him after spider-man's Dr. Connors would be neat.
His leg looks so much incredibly better. From the first video that you had when it was so swollen it looked so horrible. He’s absolutely gorgeous.
