It's so exciting seeing the progress on the facility. It's gonna be so awesome when it's all done!
I hope you are safe and god job for getting the stuff out of the truck :)🐍
Emily and Ed, I'm sure this will get buried, but I have a question:
What's it been like to see a small little reptile business turn into something with over 2 million followers and your own facility and a full time career for both of you?
Rest up after all this, and take a day off after all that hard work- you deserve it!!
I bet it gave you the chills when you opened the “Snake Discovery” sign. It was like the culmination of all those years of hard work you put in to make this day a reality. Congratulations Emily and Ed!
It did gave me the chills!!! I told my husband once they have their Snake Discovery place 100% set up, I want go there, we're only several hours away, located in Michigan.
As someone who unloads trucks for a living, I feel your pain. You now understand the sheer joy we feel when someone says "I see the wall!" It's much more entertaining to watch people unload a truck than it is to do it yourself. But with just two people, y'all did amazing!
Same. Seeing that wall is like seeing the face of god. On the opposite end, loading, seeing a massive wall of boxes is satisfying especially when you put the straps on.
Good to hear that 👍 I was thinking about it and I thought I was confused
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't have any friends helping them with this.
i’m so over the moon by this entire project. however i’m especially touched by the fact that Rex has a place to be displayed. She isn’t exactly “impressive” with her medical issues and deformities, so the fact you guys are giving her a place in this facility shows how dedicated you guys are to the education regarding reptile care and proper husbandry and treatment of these animals. much love, and best of luck to you guys in this massive project ❤️
Rex may not be impressive in the traditional sense, but she sure is impressive in that she survived and even improved after the unfortunate way she was brought up before she came here. And it's a great learning opportunity for why you should really understand what an animal needs before you get one. Plus, she's pretty cute in a way lol
It's on pause because of COVID, but the main part of Emily's job is doing programs that educate kids. I'm sure she's wished in the past to be able to use Rex in those programs - she could teach so much to kids, about why certain animals aren't pets, and how that can be dangerous for the animal. But I bet they weren't able to use Rex in-alligator in programs because kids are unpredictable and so is Rex LOL. So being able to have a place where Rex can be more comfortable, but also interact with the kids (with safe barriers in-between) might have been their goal from the beginning.
Ed tickling Emily to wake her up is the cutest moment honestly 💚
"Sorry there was no snakes in this video!" What're you talking about? There's a snake on that sign!
Snake Discovery: opens facility
Wisconsin newspaper: tourism at an all time high where are all these people coming from?!?!
@@russellminimakeuplooks2317 wait really, so I get an even shorter drive. Where exactly is it?
@@roborat I believe around Maplewood/Oakdale, on the east side of the Cities
I still think you should put an about Rex sign next to her enclosure explaining why she is so small and why you shouldn’t keep pets like her for fun
They'll probably put signs with information about all the animals, but I'm sure that Rex' will have more personal information about her and the stunted growth
It's happening! Can't wait to see the facility guys
Does anyone else remember when they were just a small channel with maybe 2k subs? I remember, they've grown so much
@@StLucianFury Yeah you don't want to know how fast I rushed to see this video lmao
I know they have grown so much I subbed to them when they had 713,000 subs
I'm glad to see that Ed has been getting more comfortable being in front of the camera lately! Also huge props for doing all this work on the facility AND editing these longer vlog videos at the same time. I bet you're so exhausted!
One cross-country road trip and Ed turns into my dad!😅
"No, you have to wait to see that"
*Tickles you to wake you up when you're being lazy.*
What next Ed? You gonna make us eat our broccoli before we leave the table? 😂😂
I swear one day once the zoo is finished I’m going to visit.
Same my family said we’re all going we love her and have been watching for two years!
Emily; "i'm sweaty and gross."
Ed; shirt is now two shades darker from all his escaped bodyliquids.
When I did martial arts, one of our senior instructors would be sweating heavily after leading several classes. His sweat would make all these weird patterns on his shirt and he would entertain the kids by describing the patterns as like an animal or something.
You should make that huge spider your “elf on a shelf” and move it around all the time to confuse people
Me staying up waiting for the Friday Snake Discovery Post:
Me when Notification: SCREEE, TIME FOR SPEED
@@saharathedragon9282 U should talk to meh friend then lol. She live that series lol
Science: get 9 hours of sleep a night
snake discovery: NOPE
@Sawyer Seffern off course science would say that but we just get about 6-7 hours of sleep cause of school
Scientists be like sleep for 8 hours
Like did you meet like 1 normal internet person they don't do that
“Hey how big is that rock over there?”
“I dunno, I’d say about one Emily”
Finally! Can wait to see rexs pool! She can better have a corner to drag her toys to their death😂🤷🏻♀️
I really hope they do a rex reacts.....to see rex go from a little box to Ed and Emily's room and now the zoo. That will be awesome
It’s so amazing and fascinating seeing Emily and Ed’s business grow from a small channel to building a facility for many people to view!
Mad respect for the whole Universal Rocks Team for being able to fit all of these into one truck! And they all look incredible. Great job guys!!
Me and my dad are sooooo excited to see how the facility looks when it’s all done!
We’re from the UK and considering flighting to America just to go there (after covid has died down)
That would be awesome! I live up north of where the facility is and I am so looking forward to getting to see it and seeing everyone and everything in person!
Did anyone else get a little choked up when she revealed the snake discovery sign? It’s so awesome to see how far they’ve come!! I can’t wait to see the finished facility!
“Should we both go die?”
Relationship goals
I’m so emotionally invested in the Facility becoming a zoo, this is high key my favorite thing you guys post, I am so siked! 😁👏
Emily: Dies in the middle of unloading
Also Emily: Doesn’t seem tired at all at the end
You think? She does well in hiding it, but I do see the exhaustion-the party must have felt like a thousand tons after all that time!
I feel like I am watching someone unload their dream project right in front of me. It is amazing!
I'm so happy for you guys
When you're a Patreon backer and she's already showed footage of them with frames and decoration(somewhat): ;)
The ed favorite pieces part reminded me so much of my childhood of collecting pretty rocks and leaves omg
"This one's white!"
Our pediatrician's office had those parking lot dividers with the rock beds, and it was always our reward for being good at the doctor's, my mom would let us pick our favorite rock (sometimes I finagled two 😏)
i was in the middle of an anxiety attack when i got this notification and I'm so thankful for it.
your videos always calm me down and help me think more positively ❤
If you want to talk about it you have an internet friend here ❤️
tysm y'all 🥲 I'm doing better now, I'm trying to concentrate on being excited to see what the zoo is gonna look like!
no thoughts
only snakes 🐍
I hope she gives us a tour of the zoo on UA-cam when it's all do everything and decorated as some of us can't travel
the zoo opens on september 6th i believe, so a video will happen very soon after that!
Some Random Person: So, today we'll be opening the biggest package of stuff ever-
Emily: *Hold my corn snakes...*
You say there weren’t reptiles in this video, but I definitely saw a wild Emily basking on a warm spot and using a hide! I’m so proud of you guys, when you revealed the big sign with your logo I felt so happy for you both. This is gonna be amazing!
awesome unloading! my favorite parts was "Emily hiding in the rock" and "Emily playing dead!" also seeing Ed! keep it up you 2!
I feel so proud of you guys. I love watching all the progress. When I come to the US one day I have added visiting you guys to the list of places to see 🐍
Sadly we don’t have any snakes at all in New Zealand (and very few lizards) but I get to live out my snakey dreams through you guys 💚
Australia, my country, has enough snakes for the entire world and more.
"I like that boulder, that's a nice boulder."
Its like a magician when he pulls a cloth out of his sleeve it never ends!
You guys are such an amazing help for me right now, my mother's in hospital and my mental state has really been declining, I look forward to your videos and they are really helping me get through this time, also my royal python Remy says hi xx
@@sarahsharp8652 She's getting her strength beck again, still at the hospital but slowly getting better, thank you xx
The incredible laughing rock is the best part of it lol.
4:15 Emily being suprised by fake rocks looking at how cool they are:
Quick question, What are you going to do with Rex’s room when she moves to the facility?
I think before they got Rex it was their guestroom, so maybe they'll make it the guestroom again but idk?
Probably rip out all the carpet, some of the drywall and check the subfloor for water damage. That's what I would do. The amount that Rex has damaged that poor room must be immense.
Buy a baby Komodo dragon and put it in there. “Sorry in-laws! Can’t stay down there! We’ve got an -Alligator- Komodo dragon down there! it works really well!”
Ed: Emily's been dead too long so I need to make sure she's ready dead
My expectation: Ed's gonna lure Emily alive with chocolate.
Ed: Just tickles her
Emily showing what we can see without unloading
Me: looking for the 2 suitcases🤣
I just realized that you're doing this all at once and I feel so bad for complaining about schoolwork
I know this is just a joke but honestly domt feel bad complaining, just because someone has it worse then you dosnt mean you cant complain even if it's just school work, this is less of a specific reply to this comment and more of just a friendly reminder.
It’s okay this is their passion not an out dated curriculum that’s beyond boring and barely useful
Guys, this is gonna look SO good when it’s done, I might even come from Rhode Island to see it. Good job Emily and Ed!
I Love to see the genuin exitement you have for all of the cool decorations! "Look at that rock!", " look att this awesome stick! Wow!", "this so My favoriter rock". It makes me so happy to see
other channels; "look at me unboxing there 8 big boxes of stuff!!"
Snake Discovery; "we're unboxing a fully-loaded, large truck of stuff!!"
I love the progress on the facility! I can’t wait to see it all finalized! Hopefully all of the Garters will be on display so my snake that I rehomed to Emily and Ed will be on display!
Love you all so much, have a wonderful day or night wherever you are!
So exciting to watch this cause like... Emily and Ed are two super hard working, passionate people who deserve the best. SO AWESOME
Hey early squad!!! I hope your having a great day! I’m here to remind you that you are loved so stay strong and keep fighting have an amazing day/night!! 💞💕💞
I was waiting for this! Can't wait to see the final result with everything ready for your grand opening!
12:23 panels and rocks and trees everywhere! while swaying a Stanley knife around lol
To the early squad reading this: Sending virtual hugs to every who needs them♡ Stay happy and safe♡♡♡
OMG tysm all for the likes!! Most I've ever gotten EVER 🤧🤧🥺🥺🥺💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I think I speak for everyone when I say that Emily’s energy is awesome!
So happy for you! I have been playing catch-up watching all the videos from the last year and so on. It’s been fun, stressful and exciting! In a weird great way you are helping me get moving and living. Thank you so much for all you, your husband and team are doing!
Emily in the thumbnail is my mental health.
Ps: I had to google what you call the "thumbnail" Because I firgot how to say it in English
I’ve never been on holiday so I think you’ve just decided where I go once the facility is done ✅ 💕
I never comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that I'm so excited about this and for you! I can't wait to visit when it's safe and you are done!
Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this video! Can’t wait to eventually visit the facility/zoo. Love you guys. -M
The 'Invert Cave' sign should be hung upside down. So it's inverted.
I love how Emily is literally brown from all the dust and dirt on those rocks and things. I can’t wait to see it out together!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could visit that, but I'm from the *Philippines* :( but I'm still happy to the ppl who get to visit there :3
Universal rocks: what do you want to get?
Emily: *yes*
I can't believed how far snake discovery has come I'm so proud
I told my girlfriend we should visit this when you open! She’s from Canada and I’m from Michigan
It’s so cool seeing the small details that you overlook in day to day life like a bathroom sign

Me: Makes sense
Love your videos Emily and Ed ♥️
“Look at this cool rock!” I love Ed.
is it just the two of them?! they’re amazing, wow.
Emily hiding inside that Rock is like Nevada hiding from counting their votes "if i hold still and don't move they probably forget about me soon"
I thought the situation was that every vote had to be individually confirmed by a judge bc they were being sued?
Me: *Watching this with my leopard gecko*
My leopard gecko: *SmIlEs*
My gecko has a torn tail bc her tankmate attacked her before we remembered that we can't house two leos together. ;w; Her name is Twiggy.
I started giggling way too hard when Emily wiped her face with her hands after popping out of the rock. She just COVERED her face in dirt and it was too adorable! Love you guys and can't wait to see how the facility turns out :D
I don’t think I’ve been this early since- Wait- I’ve never been this early!
“There’s Vines back here!”
Me: *War flash backs to Vines I watched*
I can't wait to see all the enclosures. They'll be so big and beautiful, all the animals are gonna love them
Emily: I.. I.. I don’t know
Me: Same lol
Also me: Oh wait she is the one that actually ordered the decor and the one who planned each decor thingie
Me: No insects!
Emily and Ed: Here are giant tarantulas and walking sticks.
I just thought of all those poor arachnophobes who have to use the restrooms. Getting there might be like a nightmare come true.
Maybe they should put an “arachnophobia potty” bush in the parking lot.... 🤣
@@chastitymarks2185 Seriously, I haven't watched the last videos bc of it. And no shade, I understand people like different things, and insects aren't evil, but I have a strong phobia for several kinds of them. So when I saw this video I was like OH something I CAN watch, and Em and Ed were like SIKE! I flinched xB
Emily*Dies from Unpacking*
Ed: Well, well, well Look What I have here....
The zoo is starting to look amazing! The floors really bring it together for me, with the snake discovery colours I LOVE IT!!!
Man universal rock just does such an amazing job, everything they do looks so awesome! Lotta hard work guys but going to be so worth it!!
I love that Emily apologised for not having animals in the the video. Like at this point I would watch you guys watching paint dry or something. I couldn't think of anything boring
Y’all are the hardest working duo ever. I’m exhausted just watching you! I assume after this it was shower/food time. It’s so exciting seeing your dreams come together. Thanks for sharing.
While Ed continues working after he said that Emily died, she continued dying. Lol 😂
I'm so excited to see how everything goes together
Emily becoming the first "snake" to use the hides was perfect! Love your brain girl!
Dewey and Webby ( from 2017 DuckTales ) ( vocalizing ): Teamwork makes the dreamwork !
Ed and Emily ( from Snake Discovery ) ( super exhausted ):
Teamwork takes a looonnnggg time to make the dreamwork.
* Emily died and became a rock for a while.
Me: talking to my bf
Emily: imma just upload
Me: Gtg babe snake discovery
Him: I understand.
@@Akuma-ui8ym I'm never getting a boyfriend after what happened with my last one...
I am so happy for you guys!!! Give it a bit of time, you'll be done & it'll all be worth it. Good luck and many good vibes coming your way. ❤
I’m so exited I remember seeing it when they first bought the building can’t wait to see it when it’s done👍
Omg I’m soooooo excited for the finished result I know how hard Emily and Ed have worked on this when the corona virus is over hopefully I can convince my parents to fly to America so I can come and see your facility it’s like my dream.
I am so stoked for the facility to be done and open! BTW, love that we get to see more of Ed! You guys are my favorite couple!
I clicked on this right when I saw it 😂. Loved the picture you posted!!!
For those wondering why we didn't know what we were getting: It's because we honestly didn't 😅 We and Paul (our consultant from Custom Reptile Habitats- definitely worth checking out!) gave Stuart a general idea of what we needed and then he filled the truck 😄
I have a question! Are those signs custom for your building?
Hey Em! I love your video's. Also say hi to Peanut for me!
Hi everyone st snake discovery, when does the zoo open ?
So once the facility is up and running, are you guys going to hide a pickle somewhere inside every day? 😁😁😁
Snake Discovery @ jumping spider doing :D
