I refuse to believe that this magical incubator of endless possibilities will ever be full
Haha me to lol
Same
It'll never be empty 😔 it just wasn't in life's plan
I thought it was a gag and there would just always be space lmao
Agreed.
What a crazy day for Shakira. Not only did she double clutch but also got in trouble for Spanish tax fraud
Hahaha! I forgot about the actual Shakira and was wondering how a snake gets caught for tax fraud
@@Polopony20. glad I read your comment because I was extremely lost.
Lol i was thinking the same
Hey! With a double clutch, she's got a lot of babies to support!! You'd be trying to keep every cent you could if you had that many babies too!! Mice/rats don't grow on trees, Denis!! 🤦🏻♀️😜🤣🤣
[PS: totally unrelated, but is you're name pronounced the same as the traditionally male name "Dennis" or the traditionally female name "Denise"? I'm on my phone so I can't really make out your tiny pfp and I don't like to assume.]
What happened to (human) Shakira?
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how neat Emily’s writing is UPSIDE DOWN!
She's a girl of many talents!!
i was thinking the same thing
@@ThePhoenixUnderwatercorrect!
Onyxia is as gorgeous as ever. We have about a week left from when this clutch was set up to approximate hatch date. I’m curious about what the outcome was. Can’t wait for the babies.
Hello, how're you doing...
He is absolutely gorgeous
I would love a livestream or a video showing you guys putting together the new incubator. Think it would be hecka fun to see you guys building it
I hope it's a video. Seeing as the project was started in early june, I think it's done now.
Me to
@@olingecko somebody a video or 2 ago said they visited the zoo a couple weekends ago. It still wasn't finished. But it was started. So I think thats where we're at with this video. Lol
They’ve said in previous vids that they plan on filming their progress. I can’t see why they wouldn’t :’)
Same
i think the eggs will have equal success rate. hell, before the facility eggs were incubated in a heated closet! and that would have slight temperature fluctuations every time the door is opened
That's a very fair point.
I agree. In the natural world, they're going to go through temperature fluctuations throughout the day, due to rain, etc. and yet they still manage to hatch pretty well. These are still protected from the most extreme fluctuations, nest flooding, and predation.
This is true!!!!
I think both methods could work. I do think the incubator could work faster, because the temps are less likely to fluctuate, but ultimately I think you'll get babies at some point from either source. Curious to see how this plays out, it's already been almost two months since this was filmed XD
When you've had eggs laid in the zoo and don't find them right away, I've wondered what would happen if they were just left in the enclosure. I think they'll do just fine in the enclosure and you'll have an even hatch rate between the two.
The moment we've all been waiting for- when will the incubator fill up?
So excited for all the hatching that is to come!
this year is just filled
@@Klekeec Ikr soooo many clutches
It’s been 53 days since this was filmed. Hatching videos should be starting soon.
I was starting to think that some of the incubator clutches would start hatching and free up room for later clutches.
@@nadialmuller there could be a hatching video any day now
I'm 100% here for the experiment because I imagine a lot of herp owners have enclosures and no incubators, and this will at least show whether they have a shot being kept in an enclosure. Also it will let you guys know if this is a reliable safety net for future situations like an incubator outright breaking.
Yeah. Although my own solution to incubating without an incubator is a box in a box where the layer of air in between works as a heat insulation and the smaller box is filled halfway with water with a fish tank heater set to 37°C and eggs are in the 3rd smallest box, suspended in the warm humid air. 3 weeks in and they look beautiful, no changes in shells, and the other day i even saw a tail movement while candling them
I mean in the wild they are wherever the mom layed them which would probably be roughly the temperature of the enclosure and would also fluctuate between day and night so it should probably work
@@franziskawild6981 right, but that’s not the question they’re trying to find the answer to- the question is whether it will work BETTER, worse, or stay the exact same as a normal incubator. (They definitely wouldn't chance-it if were a question of "will it work at ALL", that wouldn't be smart!)
The sex of Alligator babies are partly dependant on the temperature of the cluch, it could be a similar type of question here

As much as I love these egg videos, I haven’t seen Doug in such a long time! How’s that beautiful boy doing? He’s one of my favorites💖
He's doing great! From May-August he's out at educational programs nearly every day, so we try not to bother him more for filming to give him a rest :)
@@SnakeDiscovery OH MY GOD you guys saw my comment! This is the best day of my life! 😭💖 One day I’ll make it up to the zoo, it’s only a 19 hour drive 🤪
Hello, how're you doing...
@@Catxnxmouse I felt the same way the first time Emily personally responded to ANYTHING from me, and every time since!!
"I don't have all these memorized!" Ah, I see you managed to avoid becoming a homestuck in the early 2010s, congrats 😂👏
Seeing them struggle when I could draw the symbols in my sleep certainly was an experience… i guess our PAST SINS were good for something :y
The only one I couldn't visualize/ place before they drew it was Capricorn, which feels silly bc I'm a sagg/capri cusp and gamquius was My Jam back in the day even 😂 I knew it was an N somehow but not exactly.
Before homestuck, I couldn't even reliably remember any of the signs' names except Sagittarius, bc it was my own lmao.
I became a homestuck 2 months ago...and am knitting a "zodiac" scarf while watching this
My hypothesis is if you split the clutch in half, the half that is in the incubator will hatch faster than the enclosure half and both will have an equal successful hatch rate
This is also what I think, either the incubators egg hatch faster and they have equal success rate or the incubator eggs have slightly higher hatch success rate. But I lean on the first one since it is a controlled environment
@@angelsyna That makes sense to me - If the enclosures are meant to mimic the snakes environment then that's the environment the eggs would have evolved to hatch in.
“Makes sense, it looks like water. It’s Aquarius!” - Everyone before finding out it’s actually an air sign (myself included) 😂.
Correct, but it's still called aquarius and aqua means water, so it makes sense the sign looks like waves no matter the actual element lol
@@3173_Delta Aquarius is the water bearer for a reason!
Looks like the stripe on Charlie Brown’s shirt to me.
Yes, I knew the ‘’magic incubator’’ could not have endless space. I love all of your videos.
Gotta love Ed sorta recalling Fruits Basket with the Year of the Cat stuff lol!
I love how the energy between Ed and Emily is always so fun and playful, like it’s obvious they really adore each other, which makes the content 1000 times better. Love the channel!
We should all be so lucky
Ed and Emily are the embodiment relationship goals
You guys are soooooo right
Well done Shakira for a healthy clutch!
We were so excited to see you today!! The kids couldn't get over all the animals in person. We can't wait to see what happens with this clutch. Thank you for being so amazing Emily!!
omg we should be getting hatching videos soon, You guys have done so much and it has been so fun watching every set of this journey. can't wait to see all the babies hatch.
The fact that Gemini wasn’t on one of the eggs stuck to each other is such a missed opportunity
Plot twist. It still ends up being twins
Lol
That's what I came to the comments to say. Very disappointed.
i CANT WAIT for hatching to start!!!!!!!!🥚🐍
Same!!!
Same here!! So exciting
I think it has already started because the first ones were due on the first days of this month so it's only a matter of time for us to see the noodles 🥳
The laying and hatching video bring me such life every year ☺️ Thank you for all your hard work and sharing with us! And aries gang represent! ♈💚
I'm loving the experiment idea. I'm guessing the hatch date will be a few days off, but similar hatch rate.
I just want to say I appreciate you guys for not only educating me, but for making me smile with your personalities and humor ☺️💯
Stay blessed!
I can't wait for the hatch season. SO MANY BABIES!!!!
I'm so excited for this experiment!!!! This is so fun! I think they will both successfully hatch some beautiful babies!
I can’t thank you enough for using “hypothesis” instead of “theory”. As a science nerd it gave me a HUGE smile. So many people don’t know the difference between a scientific theory and the colloquial use of the word theory. In this case, hypothesis is correct. Thank you!!
" With our host.. "
**Emily in her natural habitat**
' Maybe I'll host this one- "
✨✨
The eggs were laid June 6th, right? So if my math is right, as of the day this video was posted, this is day 53?
Oh man, I can't wait for the egg hatching videos!
Yeah!!!
The Lavender Hognoses are on day 85 today! (laid May 5, vid uploaded May 7) so those should be hatched by now
@@Polopony20. Yes!!! Eeee!!!!
Shakira is the best name for a bullsnake I've ever heard 😂 and its even better that she double-clutched!!
Day 10000000 of will ed and emily find another excuse to not use/put together the massive incubator in the middle of the snake room. Spoiler: we're resorting to putting eggs back in their parents enclosures 💀
I suspect I said this last time we saw him, but Mr. SYG is a gorgeous snake
I'm going to use my science class skills that I will barely need to use because of the degree I'm going for for this hypotheses:
If the temperature stays relatively consistent in the cool side of the enclosure, then the eggs should hatch equally as well as the eggs in the incubator. However, if the temperature fluctuates too much, there will be 1 to 3 eggs that won't hatch and/or hatch with with kinks.
Omg a double-clutch! I was so excited when I saw this video today!!
The first clutches were laid over 2 months ago so hopefully they'll start hatching and free up some room in your incubator
Can't wait for all of the snakelings to hatch (:
Same look forward to this every year lol .. and looks like there’s loads this year :) x
Same, I've been watching egg hatching videos from previous years because I can't contain my excitement!
Eeeek can’t wait for the eggs to hatch!
saw my first wild bullsnake last night and was able to identify it from watching your videos! thanks guys!
I love the bloopers and the beginning of the vid lol 😂😂😂
When are you guys gonna post more of those shenanigans videos the first one was hilarious
Emily scolding Ed about the egg was priceless 😂
When?
@@moomoomilk5525 69 Duuuuuude :D

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I’m a Scorpio so I’m keeping an eye on my egg and Emily I love your videos! They are so entertaining and fun to watch the snakes become cool slithery colorful animals!
Emily, I adore you so much!!! You're so funny, and so is Ed!!! I'm surprised that you haven't tried incubating eggs in an enclosure before this! ( at least that I know of ) I think it's a brilliant idea, and they will all hatch!!! Another thing maybe you could do is if you have an empty enclosure, turn the heat up, and try using it as an incubator!!! I wouldn't do that and have mom in there too, in fear that it could be too hot for her!!
I just wanted to say thank you for all you guys do. I have learned an incredible amount from you guys, and because of that, y’all gave me the knowledge, love, and passion for snakes thatI have today. And because of that, I was able to rescue a snake. I am looking for a permanent home for the snake, so read more below please if you might be near me and can help!
She is a ball Python by the name of Toast, and she’s about 2.5 ft in length I think (haven’t been able to truly measure her, so that’s an estimate.
I live in the Charlotte area in North Carolina. She’s eating medium sized frozen-thawed mice consistently.
This is her story: I have a friend who works at a popular chain pet store. She’s fantastic and none of Toasts story is her fault. Toast was bought by a young couple who seemed to have plenty of knowledge about snakes. They’d had them before, and this was a good fit apparently. Toast was in shed during the transaction. Instead of letting her acclimate to the new environment, they decided they wanted to handle her while in shed and right after the exchange. When she struck at them, they took her back in disbelief. The way this store and company operates, after a purchased animal is brought back, they can’t sell it. It becomes an adoptable. This particular location doesn’t follow that rule. Instead of keeping it and “wasting space, time, and money” they euthanize them when they return. I teared up at the thought of this snake I hadn’t even met, who didn’t even have a name, being euthanized over someone else’s ignorance.
I unfortunately can’t keep her forever. Let me know if you live in my area and have the means of taking care of her, she needs a loving forever home!
I'm not in your area, but hoping for the best for your rescue! Are you able to advertise it on Facebook groups too? Those would be guaranteed to have more people specifically in your area.
Just commenting to boost interaction with your comment! Thank you for being an amazing temporary home for Toast!
I hope toast gets a new home
@@jekylei99 thank you so much! ❤️❤️
@@86fifty I don’t have Facebook, but that’s a good idea!
More eggs!! Should be seeing hatching videos soon which I cannot wait for. Baby snakes 😍😍😍🐍🐍
Also can't believe the tardis incubator actually ran out of room! It seemed like it was never ending space.
Wow! I can already tell those babies are going to be beautiful!
"are you a pisces?"
"no i'm two fish french kissing"😊
I'm starting to get really anxious for the eggs to hatch those are always my favorite videos of the year but I'm particularly anxious now cuz I'm scared for you not to have anywhere to put a clutch of eggs and have some go bad while you're looking for a space to put them so I'm like some of these better pips soon so you have room for the next clutches
We should have some egg hatching videos next month
@@Grape08 I think August is usually when the videos start, so it's coming up soon! Last year the first eggs hatching video came on August 3rd.
Don’t worry, most of these vids are from a while ago and some have already hatched by this vid release date!! You don’t gotta worry too much, plus it seems the staff is helping out with the eggs too!
They've already had some eggs hatch, but there's so much of a backlog, that we just get more egg laying videos for a bit.
The moment we never thought would come is nigh: the infinite incubator is *finally* full.
Also Ed and Emily have finally done the star sign theme! Any fellow Aquarians in the comments? ♒️
indeed
Me
Let's goooo! We shall no longer be overlooked! 😈
Yes! Me also. "I was born in the sign of water/And it's there that I feel my best" ♒
🙋♀️
Hey I'm also a stubborn, but ever loyal Taurus ♉ too! Shakira is a superstar worthy of her name with that double clutch. Looking forward to seeing some baby bulls!
aaaah im so excited about thus clutch, fingers crossed!!!!
I hope your experiment works out! Honestly I can’t wait for hatching season and I know it’s coming up. I can only imagine the craziness you guys will experience!
I have to assume some of the eggs must have hatched already, but they are on a scheduled video release so it just seems like there’s always room for JUST ONE MORE.
I love Ed and Emily 🥰 we all know they are the best kinds of nerds!
Did anyone else hear the Fruits Basket reference? Or the Pokémon? Tauros instead of Taurus ♉ 😁🤣
So excited to see baby videos again! It's been so long
Shakira's eggs don't lie.
They'll all be healthy and happy 😊
The world will end when Snake Discovery runs out of incubator space
I think it'll have a slower hatch rate without the amount of humidity the small incubator has but otherwise I think they'll be just fine
This is so nice, I can't sleep (living in the Netherlands) and there is a new video online!! Oww yeaah! Hugs from a capricorn ♑️
Brian Kusko did it with ball pythons this year. They hatched out amazing and mama ate the whole time. It was crazy cool. Good luck love the videos
Hello, how're you doing...
Magical incubated finally meets its match ,a double clutch
I love when snake discovery posted the second I get the notification I instantly click it.🐍❤️
I'm so glad you showed Onyxia!! I've been wondering how that gorgeous critter is!
I love that Emily said Tauros as in Pokémon 😂❤️ (for reference it’s actually spelled Taurus) ♉️
Ahhh I'm sooo excited for hatching to start
I was just checking back on the first egg laying video and the hatching video should be coming any day now if I calculated correctly.
Emily's Vannah White impression was hilarious
I've been using my snake's enclosure to keep silkworm eggs warm, and I also set bread dough on top to rise since it's the warmest place in our house.
Dude y’all are amazing I watch every video and it’s awesome how much y’all know about the animals I wish I new that much I can’t wait to see the baby snaked there good look epic keep up the AMAZING work
A good experiment for people who have enclosures but not incubators.
I dunno, Shakira's enclosure seems big enought but i can't say the same for whoever feels like breeding at home.
Shakira’s hips don’t lie.
My prediction is that more eggs will hatch in the incubator, but the eggs will hatch in the enclosure too with maybe 5/6 eggs hatching in the incubator and 4/6 eggs hatching in the enclosure.
Love the video Carnt wait for the next one
Thank you Emily (and Ed) using the correct word hypothesis.... that is just awesome :D
Hi Ed and Emily I love the snakes 🐍 they are so cute 🥰
I’m a Gemini too Gemini club assembl
Gemini 3 here! Or does that make 6?!
@@SHENworks Also a Gemini! We need a club!
@@SHENworks Ha ha!! I'm not a Gemini, but I see what you did there!!!
Technically the eggs are Gemini too (not the snakes since they haven't hatched yet) since they were layed on 6/6, so I guess that makes 15 of y'all :D
Im a scorpio 👍
Funny that everyone thinks it looks like water when Aquarius is an air sign 😅 but yay more babies!! Can't wait for hatching videos!!
I loved that intro lol spoke to Emily's true nature.
You coincidently put mine ♍️ & my ♌️ husband's signs right next to each other. We love your channel & can't wait till the day we get to give a few of your sweet boop noodles a home.
Lol, nice to see another Virgo and Leo couple! XD
Draw animals on the eggs
I was confused about why Ed said about the leos, but I was like okay, maybe I misheard lol! ♌ And Virgo ♍ some of the best signs. And Tauros 😊
I will say Taurus rolled a little bit before putting it in the pearlite so I’m curious as to what will happen in two months
Glad I’m not the only one who saw that!!! Fingers crossed for baby noodle Taurus!!!
I definitely think they will all have some if not 100% success, it does depend on the egg too, like Ed pointed out that one didn't look so promising.
Ed saying the year of the cat. Love the Fruits Basket reference. Lol
Ed: hosted by…….
Emily:
Ed: maybe ill host this one
I think you should split it in half because worst-case scenario if one type fails at least you’re like not losing all of them
Honestly best intro to a video I’ve ever seen
15/10
Also...YAY!! FOR MAKING SOME PROGRESS ON THE POP MACHINE INCUBATOR! 👍👍👍
I love watching you videos and seeing all the snakes. I've been wanting to get a ball python for a while. Also I'm a Taurus too!
Can’t wait to see what the Capricorn baby looks like!!!
I WANNA SEE BABAY SNAKESSSSSSSS I'm so hyped so is my mom we watch you all the time and cant wait for baby's to start piping
Fun fact: Onyxia was originally sexed as male, but the first owner took him to a vet to have double check. The vet missexed as female, so they reached out to Snake Discovery to ask for a name. Years later, they're unable to keep "her", and hand her over to snake discovery, where she got resexed again as a male
This could also be a Homestuck clutch because the signs on the trolls shirts are the zodiac signs
was looking for someone to mention homestuck lol
I cannot WAIT for the hatching videos 😆
Great great job Emily. Gold star. 😀
So many babies this year! 😍
Can't wait to see the eggs hatch!!!!🐍🐍
What exactly is double clutching, how does it happen? Do more eggs develop after mom lays all the first clutch? I know they can retain sperm for a long time, is that how those get fertilized if they aren't paired? And it sounds like some snake may be prone to it? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just so curious!
„On the other side, some snakes you just can't stop double clutching, they will retain the sperm, and lay a 2nd clutch of eggs, whatever you do - this is natural, and most breeders learn which of their females are more prone to double clutching than others.“ So yes, I believe it’s just the mom having another clutch from retained sperm!
@raverm but from what Emily mentioned in the video it sounds like after Shakira laid the first egg, she got paired again with Mr SYG in order to ensure the second clutch will be fertilized. So it might not be retained sperm
Love your artwork.
Happy to see other video... but i'm so waighting for the hatchings
My guess is that I think they will hatch in the snake enclosure. I can't wait for ALL the baby videos. I'm SO excited.
4:23 I hope that egg that rolled a lot is okay.
I saw that too and it made me anxious
she said they were just laid that day so it should be fine. it takes 24 hours or so for it to actually matter.
If the temps stay on point and the humidity is good, I predict the eggs will incubate just fine in Shakira's enclosure! Can't wait to see!
I love how Ed referenced fruits basket with year of the cat. My favorite anime/manga, not to mention but I SCREAMED wit joy
