  • Today we make an emergency trip to our friend's house to pickup his reptiles after he was brought to the hospital. To respect his privacy we won't share who he is, but if you're watching- we love you!! You can overcome this! Your reptiles miss you! But we can watch them as long as you need us to :)
    The point of this video is to share how important it is to have a backup plan for your reptiles (or any pet) if something were to happen to you.

    Just a moment of silence please to think about how Emily has so many things going on in her life right now with the facility, has so many animals to care for herself, and goes out of her way to make sure someone else's animals are cared for properly and take care of them..................

    Hey just so you guys (Ed and Emily) know you did say the guy who was in the hospital's first name on the car ride home with his animals ("We were _____'s emergency contact"). I'm not sure if you guys want to take the video down and reupload it with that edited out or not.
    Edit: please do upvote this so Ed and Emily can see it. Out of respect for his privacy, please don't go back into the video and look for his name until they have seen the comments and decided whether or not to edit it out. Medical stuff is incredibly personal and we need to respect that.

    Even common pets, like a dog or cat- it's super important to have a back up plan. A lot of times, families either don't know how to care for animals or they simply can't or don't want to. It's sad how many pets end up in shelters due to sudden passing of their owners.

I was incredibly blessed to have a best friend who is great with reptiles (and my furry pets too) who came and took care of all of them while we were saying goodbye to my dad. She said it was no big deal, but I hope she knows how much it meant that my animals were in trusted hands while I couldn't be there.

    A good idea is also to talk to your exotic vet about your emergency plans. Especially for temporary situations. One year, we were hit by a freak hurricane that left us without power for 8 days in super hot weather, and I couldn’t keep my chinchillas cool. (I ran an a/c for them, since I lived in an apt.) My vet used generators during that time to stay open, and they were able to keep my chins the whole week. (& They were saints... didn’t even charge me, and every day when I visited to care for my little guys, they had already been fed and played with. The vet techs spoiled them rotten all week.

My cousin lived with the dog for over a year, but was unwilling to take the dog in. I flew there basically broke into my aunt's house and kidnapped the dog and stole her car.
