The fact Onyxia is such a unique (and likely expensive morph), a healthy size, microchipped, and has a vet record... you can tell she was so loved and cared for. I’m sad for the owners, they must be missing her... but I’m glad she can be used for education and now sooo many people will get to know her!
I am not familiar with boa morphs in the slightest... but typically mostly black snakes in general in species that aren’t usually black are worth a few thousand
@@kudzu_ We would have taken her with if it was possible. She was very hard to part with. We cried. But it was ideal that Emily and Ed were willing to take her and we hope to come back to visit post-pandemic.
@@dragonheart175 The move has been extremely difficult, as to be expected internationally during a pandemic. We wanted to take her, but due to Covid shipping restrictions it would have put her life in danger and we weren't willing to risk her. Plus finding a place letting agency that would rent to internationals that also allowed reptiles was a dead end. I couldn't be more thrilled that Emily and Ed were willing to give her the best home I could imagine.
Definitely, but boas are in general quite chill around people. Not so much with younger snakes because their size makes them feel like prey, but yeah, they're quite cool.
As a fellow reptile lover, this channel makes me happy. Currently holding my blue eyed lucy, Floki. We got him from an owner who sadly kept him in a cardboard box without any proper care. Safe to say he is 5 years old, happy and healthy now :)
I love the fact that the owners loved her enough to mail the bell separately. To not have it constantly ringing next to her. She is gorgeous and so sweet 🖤🖤🖤
Seeing that snake in the bag was just like staring into a black hole. love how iridescent and curious she is. I am predicting she'll be one for the classic "Is this fud?" / "You bring fud?" tags in future videos.
DnD ideas strike from the weirdest of places, and i know that already, but i still wasn't expecting the educational snake video comments section. damn.
I'm not even kidding, when Onyxia came out of that bag it literally took my breath away. I stopped breathing for a solid 30 seconds and just STARED at her -- what a beauty. Gosh I want one
Onyxia is the most beautiful snake! I can't even with how pretty she is. Man... her old owners must have been heartbroken having to give her up. I'm glad they'll still be able to see her from time to time though. The perk of having your snake adopted by Emily and Ed.
i've never even heard of the procedure in reptiles. like, it makes sense (especially when a snake is especially important to a family or expensive) but it's gotta be a pricey microchip insertion. cats and dogs are easy because they have such stretchy skin but for snakes? wild.
@@UCVWnuJnz0LguhAS_MYI3few It actually wasn't that hard to do. Cost the same as having a cat or small dog microchipped. Just had a reptile vet do it. They pushed in between her scales and inserted it. She wasn't happy, but she shed about a week later and it stopped bothering her by the next day. The tail was the only part that didn't come off in one piece during that shed, but the spot was all healed up. After her next shed you could barely even find it.
That was actually why we decided not to sell her even though she was very expensive. We wanted her to be loved and to be able to see her from time to time and be able to visit post-pandemic. We couldn't have asked for a better home for her and are eternally grateful to Emily and Ed.
You can tell how much Onyxia's old owners loved her. Microchiped and everything. Hopefully they can find another snake/pet to give the same love to in the UK.
Sadly we had to give her up because we can't have a snake in the UK. It was really hard to find a letting agency that would even work with Internationals, let alone one that allowed reptiles too. She is desperately loved, but no new snakey will be filling the Onyxia shaped hole. That is why we are thrilled to get to see her on the channel from time to time or be able to come visit post-pandemic.
@@tyneblackburn553 That's sad there are enough resources for Reptile owners internationally, but I'm glad to here you're planning to get another snake! Pets are amazing in all forms, I have two dogs (very basic ik) and I love them so much. I know just based on my fascination with Onyxia, she'll be a star here.
@@tyneblackburn553 Landlords are not allowed to just blanket ban pets and they have to provide a good reason for you to not have one after a request. I suspect you may actually do better with asking to keep a snake compared to something like a dog or a cat due to how they are housed and how they are less likely to damage a property.
@@tyneblackburn553 I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be honest, I'm not allowed pets either(renting) so I just don't tell my landlord. I'm from Denmark but now living in the UK - if you ever need some "moving to the UK" tips, feel free to reach out. Having lived in both Australia and Canada beforehand I must say the UK is a lot less friendly towards foreigners and even after 5 years here it's still quite difficult sometimes.
You don’t know how great you are. I went to go pick up my new fish and the lady started talking about her hog nose snake. Then we started talking about your channel, and then the owner came up to us and said, “are you talking about snake discovery?” Your channel is not only good for kids (I am a kid), but it is also good for adults.
I still won't mess with a snake in the wild, I don't trust my ID skills and there are too many scary snakes in Louisiana, but I wouldn't mind a Mexican black king.
@@tyneblackburn553 I can’t imagine how she can be prettier in person when she is already the prettiest snake I have ever seen. I’m sorry you had to give her up.
Onyxia is super gorgeous! What beautiful iridescence! 💖 The tiny red-bellied snakes were so cute, and the lavender male looks fantastic! It's fascinating to see how kind of 'powdery' they look with that lovely tint of purple 💜
I was immediately wondering if they're gonna breed Onyxia because I'd love to see the babies transition in color as they grew, but I also wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to
@Paige Loren it would be a years long project but they could ways find a normal to breed with, and then hold some back to breed with when they've matured, because every baby would be het for momma's morphs, if I'm not mistaken.
@Paige Loren I'm not sure if the genes are recessive or not myself. I've learned a lot from Snake Discovery but I'm certainly not an expert. It seems like most morphs are recessive, so I'm just kinda assuming so given that they said Onyxia has a combination of two different morphs going on.
Oh no, only 5 minutes in and Onyxia has become one of my top biases in Snake Discovery.. She is just superbly gorgeous.. My heart was literally screaming "Gezz, i definitely need to see and hold her in person" 😍
I heard "delivered by fedex" and instantly my brain went to spins-mcgee. I'm glad you haven't seen that personage again, spinning reptile boxes and when you tell him what's in them going "oh cool!"
I think that was the "unboxing 3 new animals sent from fans!!" episode. Still love the post office box idea, they can't spin it if it's too big, more likely to actually pay attention to it being marked as fragile/live animal/etc.
I feel for her previous owners, having to let go of Onyxia must have been so hard and they clearly adored her. I'm glad she went to you guys, so they can see their beautiful baby and know she's well taken care of!!
It's actually so sweet hearing all the things Onyxia's parents set up for her previously! From the chip to the extensive records- maybe it's commonplace for snakes that aren't bought from a breeder (aka rehomed) but it's making me smile !!
Buying an animal from a breeder doesn't mean they're rehomed since you're buying then from the place they were born at. Which the owners of Onyxia did. It's actually not very normal to see such amazing care specially with the microship. Also she's quite the expensive morph so her original owners had money to spend on her wellbeing
That boa is gorgeous. Once she's settled in, you should get some video of her out in full sunlight. The iridescence was coming through just under the artificial light so in the sun she'd probably look like an opal or something. Normally I like wild type natural patterns on snakes, but the IMG morph is just so incredible.
Not the most venomous your highly likely to survive a red belly black bite , but not too lucky if you’re bitten by a king brown that’s a way bigger chance of death and even deadlier is the death adder than taipan so nope not the most venomous at all 😊🇦🇺
Hardly anyone will see this but I just wanted to say thank you because the reason that I wake up in the morning currently lives in a 15 gallon in my room his name is Jupiter and he is a baby grey banded king snake he’ll be a year old this August and I can’t wait to see him grow❤️❤️
Your channel is a life saver, literally, you guys have taught me about different snakes and that has ended up saving multiple snakes’ lives when they end up in my pool, just today we got a baby corn snake in our pool, and everyone said it was a copperhead but I knew better. The baby corn snake we released thanks you!
That Boa. Onyxia. My word. I wants one. Edit. I would also microchip this snake if I had one. Still drooling. Good naming, Ed. And so fitting that this beautiful snake made her way to you.
A red bellied /black snake at a local BBQ, would get people scurrying in all directions in Australia. However! They are stunningly marked with black shining scales , black eyes, usually a red belly, however some are found with pale pink or white bellies.. They can grow over a couple of metres and can get quite thick around the middle. Like us all, depending on the food supply...They like frogs and mice and are fairly placid. However they are venomous and look very intimidating when flared up .. Not for handling as a novice..
I know right! I was thinking the exact same thing. And then they're housing them with "brown snakes" haha. Red bellies and brown snakes... Not a great mixture.
Words can’t describe how stunning Onyxia looks even on camera! The color is insane! I am partial to hognoses, though, and that lavender male is quite the little looker.
I used to be so terrified of snakes to the point where I could barely even look at pictures of them but one day, I don’t even know why, I decided to watch one of these videos and now I think they are so cute. I don’t know if I’d be able to touch or hold one but I love looking at them.
I find it fascinating that the snake world and the World of Warcraft community are so close; previously Saurfang and now Onyxia! Both are great names for snakes xD
Hey I want to say thank you I used to be scared of snakes and reptiles but after I found this channel you guys have really changed my life now I love reptiles thank you 🙏
I love your channel. I can’t have any snakes of my own right now, so I just watch yours. And you guys are great educators. Because of you, I was able to identify a snake outside my house as a rat snake and not a copperhead. Good luck with your zoo! I can’t wait to see what it looks like when you’re done.
those tiny red bellied snakes make me so nostalgic... I used to see them all the time in our yard in the upper peninsula of Michigan! I loved how they were different colors... tan, brown grey, and blackish. so cute!!
Onyxia's iridescence reminds me of my favorite local snake, the Texas Indigo. They eat rattlers, so we're always happy to see them in the horse pasture!
Snake Discovery : giving heart attacks to their Australian viewers since 2015. Today's edition: "these are some red bellies" Literally every Aussie in the audience will have had an instictive "NO!!!!" reaction, before realising that your idea of a red belly is a very, very different, non-bite-y, non-deadly snake, not of the red bellied black snake variety.
I look so forward to watching all your videos! Your facility updates have been my favorite of recent videos but I love them all! So excited to see the babies produced this year.
They're all so pretty! I love Onyxia, but the red bellied snakes are cute too and the lavender hognose is gorgeous! The peach / purple combination is fantastic!
There better be an Onyxia feeding video after she's done quarantine, that would be glorious haha But man, those owners loved the heck out of her by getting her microchipped and such. Shame they weren't able to keep her, but at least now people can oggle at her beauty and such
I'm so happy I found your channel a couple weeks ago!! I'm not afraid of snakes but if I encountered one suddenly in the tall grass, mostly garter snakes, it will startle me and I will run away. I could never have a snake, so I'm sorta living vicariously through you and Ed! :) I've enjoyed going back and watching all your videos and learning more and more about snakes-- I even started painting small portraits of snakes and its been so fun! I hope to have a whole rainbow of snake portraits even if their colors don't entirely exist in the wild. :)
Hi, just to let you know: Boa imperator and Boa constrictor are viewed as separate species by now. They were formerly named BCC and BCI but the imperator has received species status and is not a constrictor anymore.
I feed my redbellies mostly frozen thawed black field slugs off the end of coffee stir sticks, and they are thriving in their bioactive planted tank for over a year now. They've doubled in size and are not shy... saw some courtship behaviour recently so hopefully babies are on the way! Not a beginner snake, but definitly one of my favorite species... so sweet and gentle. Love the channel!
Perfect Name! She does look descended from the Great Black Dragon of Warcraft fame for sure. Speaks volumes of what great owners she had to be so well cared for and to take the time to make sure she went somewhere where she’ll be loved and appreciated, not just cared for. Just found your channel from Wickens Wicked Reptiles. So glad I came by!
Just wet on a long walk in the forest and we found so many garter snakes! They weren’t babies or adults but sort of in the middle, one even let us get close to it! Now that I think of it, he was probably sleeping-
I have a package to send you guys, but I didn't get it mailed out before my elbow surgery... I'll try to get it sent out sometime this week!! I think you'll BOTH enjoy it!! :) (No live animals included, promise, lol. ...or dead ones. xD)
It appears Onyxia can’t stop staring at her reflection through that camera lens. Can’t blame her, she’s oozes beauty!
She know how bootful she is- she ain’t wrong tho 👁👄👁✋✨
Absolutely! She's just stunning!

That boa is amazing. You rarely see iridescence show up well on camera but she looks so cool. I can only imagine how great she looks in person.
I know, I would really love to see Onyxia!
I love all your snakes. the new ones are gorgeous
The fact that Ed inadvertently named her means this all just came full circle
I need an iridescent sticker of Onyxia now. It would be one of the most appropriate designs to make iridescent. She's GORGEOUS.
That is such an amazing idea!
I would definitely buy!!
Or a fake pokemon card with the foil in the picture!
I would buy one for sure! She's a stunner. 😍
YASSSS!!!!
She seems like she is well socialized and is used to handled, in addition to being well cared for by previous owners.

Onyxia is what I imagine black dragons to look like, colour-wise
Only those that have overcome their evil nature and become a gem dragon instead of chromatic.
Like toothless in the hidden world!
Onyxia was a black/purple dragon from World of Warcraft

Your channel is a life saver, literally, you guys have taught me about different snakes and that has ended up saving multiple snakes’ lives when they end up in my pool, just today we got a baby corn snake in our pool, and everyone said it was a copperhead but I knew better. The baby corn snake we released thanks you!
Emily: *Opens box*
Me: MORE DEKAYS?!?!
Emily: Red bellied snakes!
Me: oh... well then- 😶
They're in the same genus, so they're pretty similar!
I thought that too
They’re both just as adorable!
They are just as adorable to me!
I thought the same thing 😂
That Boa. Onyxia. My word. I wants one.
Edit. I would also microchip this snake if I had one.
Still drooling.
Good naming, Ed.
And so fitting that this beautiful snake made her way to you.
I love seeing those IMG ones. Absolutely stunning! She looks like oil, black with a hidden rainbow inside
First a Saurfang, now an Onyxia? How could these names get any better 🖤
We are Warcraft fans as well and were thrilled when Ed suggested that name. :)

As an Australian, associating the word “Red belly” with snake brings up a lot of red flags.
A red bellied /black snake at a local BBQ, would get people scurrying in all directions in Australia. However! They are stunningly marked with black shining scales , black eyes, usually a red belly, however some are found with pale pink or white bellies.. They can grow over a couple of metres and can get quite thick around the middle. Like us all, depending on the food supply...They like frogs and mice and are fairly placid. However they are venomous and look very intimidating when flared up .. Not for handling as a novice..
Start running and do not stop running until you cannot see it anymore.
only deadly if they bite ya
I know right!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
And then they're housing them with "brown snakes" haha.
Red bellies and brown snakes... Not a great mixture.
Dude I was thinking that instantly 😂
They can just crash on you unexpectedly... that’s something that’s known to happen with: *proceeds to name all three of my favorite kinds of snakes*
what does crash mean?
@@definitelynotmothman6171 they die unexpectedly.
same :'O
Onyxia is beautiful! I hope this pandemic is over soon because I live near Wisconsin and would love to see her in person at the facility! 😍🐍
That black snake is jaw dropping gorgeous
this channel is honestly my comfort channel it makes me so happy when you upload new videos
IM SOO EXCITED TO SEE THE ZOO FULLY DONEE AND I LOVE YOUR SNAKES WE LEARNED ABOUT VERTABRATES AND NON TODAY
Words can’t describe how stunning Onyxia looks even on camera! The color is insane!
I am partial to hognoses, though, and that lavender male is quite the little looker.
I used to be so terrified of snakes to the point where I could barely even look at pictures of them but one day, I don’t even know why, I decided to watch one of these videos and now I think they are so cute. I don’t know if I’d be able to touch or hold one but I love looking at them.
I find it fascinating that the snake world and the World of Warcraft community are so close; previously Saurfang and now Onyxia! Both are great names for snakes xD
Hey I want to say thank you I used to be scared of snakes and reptiles but after I found this channel you guys have really changed my life now I love reptiles thank you 🙏
Wow she is such a well cared for snake! Excited to see the babies grow and im just blown away by how gorgeous that gene combo is!
I can’t wait for all of the facility to be open
Yes dame
Same
Not dame
Same but you need to be in Canada or USA to go to the facility
Me tooooooo
@HAYLEY KUHN I live in Australia and I so badly want to go their facility 😭😭
omg i didn’t even realize it was breeding season again. quarantine has felt so long but somehow time went by so fast
Omg Onyxia you’re so stunning!! And your curious face is so cute💗💗Immediately your cuteness melts my heart❤️
I'm still hoping that you'll look into doing Moonstone (lavender/ super arctic) hognoses down the line. Cause that's a super duper stunning morph.
Doctor: So how exactly did you break your finger?
Me having smashed my mouse too fast: Well it's complicated...
What does smash mean
@@mollysequoia7127 I'am assuming their pet only eats pre-killed rodents
Omg I thought you meant your reptile only eats fresh killed and I was like..oh- 😂
@@amandafaboz7387 I though for sure that's what they meant too lol
I legit got goosebumps when she took out Onyxia. She's so stunning.
I love your channel. I can’t have any snakes of my own right now, so I just watch yours. And you guys are great educators. Because of you, I was able to identify a snake outside my house as a rat snake and not a copperhead. Good luck with your zoo! I can’t wait to see what it looks like when you’re done.
Im gonna miss Safiya and Tyler's livestream but it's worth it for this
Hey I came here from there too!
OMG I LOVE SAF AND TY
U can always save this video to your "watch later" list. That's what I do sometimes haha
@@terrable9220 OMG SAME
those tiny red bellied snakes make me so nostalgic... I used to see them all the time in our yard in the upper peninsula of Michigan! I loved how they were different colors... tan, brown grey, and blackish. so cute!!
Onyxia's iridescence reminds me of my favorite local snake, the Texas Indigo. They eat rattlers, so we're always happy to see them in the horse pasture!
Smol sneks and pretty snek, yes please
Seriously can’t wait until the facility is open.
Also WOAH that boa is so pretty
Wow can't believe I've been gone for 10 months! Corona was a wild ride. Good to be back! So glad to see you guys are still thriving! 😊♡
“I am addicted to buying to snakes online”-someone on a tlc channel probably
Or Ed but with isopods lol
Is their names Emily and Ed?
@@skibur848
Yeah
@@skibur848 yes
@@skibur848 Yes, their names are Emily and Ed and they are married
Snake Discovery : giving heart attacks to their Australian viewers since 2015.
Today's edition: "these are some red bellies"
Literally every Aussie in the audience will have had an instictive "NO!!!!" reaction, before realising that your idea of a red belly is a very, very different, non-bite-y, non-deadly snake, not of the red bellied black snake variety.
You're so right haha.
And then they mention housing them with their "brown snakes" 😅
I look so forward to watching all your videos! Your facility updates have been my favorite of recent videos but I love them all! So excited to see the babies produced this year.
Wow! The black female snake, has such a beautiful scales I could see the blue in her aww
So Doug was my favorite snake but now Onyxia is giving him a run for his money. Boas are just so cute
Ikr
They're all so pretty! I love Onyxia, but the red bellied snakes are cute too and the lavender hognose is gorgeous! The peach / purple combination is fantastic!
There better be an Onyxia feeding video after she's done quarantine, that would be glorious haha
But man, those owners loved the heck out of her by getting her microchipped and such. Shame they weren't able to keep her, but at least now people can oggle at her beauty and such
I did not know snakes get chipped in the tail, since cats and dogs get chipped in the neck.
Am I the only one binge watching all of their videos so they can get extra money so they can make the building even more awesome😂
I have watched all the Snake Discovery videos at least 7 times. You are not the only one.
I'm so happy I found your channel a couple weeks ago!! I'm not afraid of snakes but if I encountered one suddenly in the tall grass, mostly garter snakes, it will startle me and I will run away.
I could never have a snake, so I'm sorta living vicariously through you and Ed! :)
I've enjoyed going back and watching all your videos and learning more and more about snakes-- I even started painting small portraits of snakes and its been so fun! I hope to have a whole rainbow of snake portraits even if their colors don't entirely exist in the wild. :)
Hi, just to let you know:
Boa imperator and Boa constrictor are viewed as separate species by now. They were formerly named BCC and BCI but the imperator has received species status and is not a constrictor anymore.
I've only seen the thumbnail and that boa looks amazing
I feed my redbellies mostly frozen thawed black field slugs off the end of coffee stir sticks, and they are thriving in their bioactive planted tank for over a year now. They've doubled in size and are not shy... saw some courtship behaviour recently so hopefully babies are on the way! Not a beginner snake, but definitly one of my favorite species... so sweet and gentle. Love the channel!
The IMF motley literally blew my mind and made me smile so big my face still hurts l. It's almost criminal for anything to be THAT GORGEOUS
Onyxia is absolutely gorgeous! My jaw dropped. I can't imagine what she looks like in person. What a beautiful snake.
Perfect Name! She does look descended from the Great Black Dragon of Warcraft fame for sure. Speaks volumes of what great owners she had to be so well cared for and to take the time to make sure she went somewhere where she’ll be loved and appreciated, not just cared for. Just found your channel from Wickens Wicked Reptiles. So glad I came by!
Just wet on a long walk in the forest and we found so many garter snakes! They weren’t babies or adults but sort of in the middle, one even let us get close to it!
Now that I think of it, he was probably sleeping-
I nearly stepped on one once! I didn’t see the lil guy and we were both equally scared!
My favorite time of day- snake discovery time!!
Omg Onyxia is STUNNING. And the little red bellies are adorable! I can’t believe how small the babies are. I can’t wait to see all this year’s babies!
Well..its happened..I have fallen in love with a snake. Onyxia is absolutely gorgeous and as a former WoW player I love the name.
I was looking for the other WoW player lol. Knew one would show up with the sneks name. :)
@@ScarlettDawnRaine same *breathes deep*
Odd groups left...even groups right...that means 1 3 5 7 left...2 4 6 8 right.
If you get aggro it means your going to lose 50 dkp cause you didn't know wtf to do..
@@NightCrystal STOP DOTS
I cant get over how beautiful Onyxia is! omg!!
I love snakes I think I’ve been watching your videos for more then 3 years and now I have subscribed with my new account love the reptiles ✨💖
I have a package to send you guys, but I didn't get it mailed out before my elbow surgery... I'll try to get it sent out sometime this week!! I think you'll BOTH enjoy it!! :) (No live animals included, promise, lol. ...or dead ones. xD)
