- Wishes & More enhances the lives of children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses by providing unforgettable experiences for them. We surprised Maddie at Wishes & More and brought her snakes to grant her wish of "wanting to hang out with reptiles for a night"! It was so rewarding to see her big smile when Doug (our boa constrictor) made a surprise appearance on stage in front of over 700 attendees/sponsors!

Hi, I'm Karla Blomberg and proudly serve as the volunteer president of Wishes & More and I'm "the Lady" in the video who 'doesn't like snakes.' I didn't think about doing it - I just did it because I knew that Maddie would love it and she did . I knew that my minutes of discomfort would be a lasting memory for her and it was worth it. Emily, thank you, thank you and thank you again from me, from Maddie and from Wishes & More. Doug you're a superstar and thanks to everyone who has commented with such kind words. After meeting Emily and seeing her video, I'm not surprised by the number of subscribers that follow her. Snake Discovery is amazing!
Great job Karla! :3
You're doing amazing, wonderful work. I'm glad there are people in the world like you.
:3
you couldn't even tell how much it freaked you out!! thank you for all that you do! everyone looked so great in their formal wear and costumes, maddie looked like she had a blast as well.
Karla Blomberg props to you for facing your fear. I could never do this I don’t like snakes or any reptile at all especially bugs and mice and rats.
Good job
Emily: * throws Doug over her shoulder and prances off *
Fairy God Mother: * collapses *
*prances* lol
Lol, so Doug DOES perform miracles!
I love how she just walked over and got Doug and was just like **'snake scarf' bye guys**
Honestly 😂😂
That's true
"She does not like snakes, but she's willing to pick up a snake for this kid." 😭 my heart ❤️❤️❤️
This was the sweetest thing.
Elle's Reptiles She deserves an award! That’s a big snake and she did fantastically!
And that's a BOA!! not an average sized snake! That's a lot of love
I’m not crying. You’re crying.
That woman made me cry. That is love and dedication.
Elle's Reptiles YUP! MT HEART WAS RACING FOR HER!!!! I PRAY FOR HER AND THE WORLD EVERYDAY!! (Why do I pray for her? Well I pray to her because she is a AWSOME person and needs some more love then she gets!) GOD BLESS ALL
9:12 Emily you slung doug over your shoulder and walked of the stage like a QUEEN
right ? omg
littleone 147 emily from snake world... Oh wait thats not right
Ikrrrr it was such an amazing moveeee
MB Pokevids s-snake discombery
:p
Doug is truly an amazing ambassador.. He'll convince anyone to love snakes
His markings are so neat. He’s gorgeous!
Except for that one dudes wife
Except my parents
@@zuzuzuzu1652 yes correct
I mean you're not wrong
That lady who really liked the way they feel was so relatable. Holding snakes is like asmr for me.
Totally dude! Especially when they like to weave in and out of my hands/hair.... it’s very therapeutic!
literally same. i’m autistic and sensory stimulation is a big thing for me, there’s a lot of sensory input i cannot stand but the feeling of snakes wrapped around me is so great.
I actually prefer how the skin of snakes feels like than it looks
@@foxxiangel6384 I'm not autistic as far as I know (I'm currently being assessed), but I do have ADHD and have sensory issues as a result. I tootally agree with you on loving how snakes feel, it's kinda like an adorable, moving weighted blanket. I wish I could get one but they only allow native reptiles as pets where I live and all our native snakes are really venomous, so unfortunately I can't.
Otherworldly oh no :(( thats unfortunate as hell!
I love how she was like “Emily can you....” and you just hopped up on the stage and you just casually chucked a boa around you like a badass
Yea broo I thought of that too! 🤣 But calling it bad "a" kinda is too um not that ( idk) uhh I'm sorry😅❤️
kamani Xgamer badd@$$? Lol
Emily is a badass
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TOO THE KIDS!!
_ pikeelution _ what
Doug is such a good little (Big!) noodle!
You two and your critters did a great thing here, and I couldn't be more proud to be your subscriber :3
I love how after Emily slings Doug over her shoulder, you see Doug's head perk up towards the crowd like "thank you, I'll be here all night"
Aww
He knows the routine, lol
I love how Emily took Doug, casually draped him over her, and walked off stage without holding onto him and Doug hanging on her shoulders
Like "yup this is my 8 foot muscle scarf. His name is Doug. Doug says hi"
Muscle scarf is probably the best description of a large snake I have ever heard/read. Thank you lol I will now add this to my vocabulary.
🤣🤣
I loved that moment too. So casual. 😆
Doug: I is da best noodle :)
"8foot muscle scarf" Love that wording
*slings Doug over shoulder*
“I’m a scarf now? Well ok” -Doug

So cool that you got to participate in this. Congratulations!

Its sooo good the listen ☺️🐍
5:11 - Missed opportunity for "Stealth Level: Solid Snake"
Also, big props to Karla for taking the "hit" of handling Doug for the surprise!
ah its a box and a snake? im still wondering what happened to gaseous snake after all this time
The little girl saying “thanks little buddy” was the sweetest, most pure thing in this world. She’s an absolute angel. 😭❤️❤️❤️
LOL cus he's twice her size :D
The "fairy" is so nice!!!
Fairy: Awkwardly balances snake😂Emily: casually slings snake over shoulder
Ikr, the comfort level was so different! 😂
When it's your first time holding an animal without legs, it's going to be awkward.
DID ANYBODY ELSE CRY THEIR EYES OUT WHEN SHE SAID "Thanks little buddy"
Yah, me!
When the message came up on the screen in english i did
I did
No but it was very sweet
“Emily from snake world.....wait no, that’s not right....snake...snAKE DISCOVERY” 👏🏽
Ahhh the old shift while caps lock is on
Rip opportunity what
Lol 😂😂😂
rude
@@karlanatior5.084 how?
People: STRUGGLING to hold themselves together whilst holding a snake.
Emily: straight up slings Doug over her shoulder.
My daughter actually just got her Make A Wish granted. She wanted a bunny. His name is Donut & he is the sweetest thing! She takes such great care of him! Organizations like Make A Wish & Wishes & More make our kiddos so happy! My daughter has had a life of heart surgeries, procedures, pokes & prods, & her Donut has made her the happiest kid! Us parents are so incredibly grateful & thankful! To Emily, my Emma loves your channel! My kiddos now want reptiles galore! 🤣🤣
That was awesome. You could tell that woman was screaming internally the entire time, but she was such a champ holding Doug for Maddie. ❤️
She’s such a baddie 🥵
I don’t think we’ve ever seen Ed’s face before. He seems chill.
Ed is great!! But when I met him at a reptile expo he wouldn't take a picture with me.
Him: People don't want pictures with me! They want pictures with Emily.
Me: *I* want a picture with you!! 😍😍😍
Him: 😳
Me: 😍
Him: 😳😳😳
Me: ...Fine. I'll get you next time.
(And I will!)
I think he is just camera shy!:)
Ed is totally camera shy. I keep encouraging him to do a video here and there, but he'd rather stay behind the scenes :P
Snake Discovery well I think he should be IN more videos. His commentary is hilarious and it always makes the videos so much better.
Max’sWorld I’m almost positive he’s shown his face, specifically in some of the videos involving driving (I believe it was a couple of their snake rescue videos)
That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It touches my heart knowing that children that were conned like that (IE; Genetics, disease, etc.) are able to see their dreams come true before they take that trip to heaven. It is truly amazing how people can do so much for certain people (Ones with terminal illness, mental illness, etc.) Even though this was not enough to fully restore my faith in humanity (In fact, i outright despise it due to the bad people who ruin it for everyone), but it was more than enough to warm my cold heart. Thank you for doing this for Maddie. Thank you.
With love,

Dark DARK Chocolate?!?!
I've been enlightened.
Well it's Satan chocolate 😋
at the Walmart in my town you can get a lindor variety pack that has the regular dark chocolate truffles, 60% extra dark and then 70% extra dark for about $10! 60% is definitely my favorite, I think it's the perfect balance.
I LOVE DARK CHOCOLATES!!
Next thing we know Void chocolate exists. It's just completely black
@@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale actually, I've had black chocolate. It's really good
Just to see PURE JOY for Maddie and to the Guests the smiles and excitement people will remember for a LONG TIME! Love it dressed to the 9s and hanging out with a Boa and again the smiles and expressions of folks. Priceless. Hats off Double E's!
I love the one frame of Emily, Maddie, Doug, and the small purple haired child and just had to smile. 2 or 3 generations of girls, connected by reptiles 💚🐍
I got tears in my eyes when the fairy said 'cause I wanted to surprise you' and the big hug.. what a touching moment and amazing initiative. You all did great
Wow, this was so super cool! Doug would make a badass therapy animal 😎
Also, Maddie was so adorable, and how amazing was the Fairy Godmother lady for facing her snake fear to make a little girl happy! 👏🏻
Oh, yeah, Maddie has so much charme and wit. She's a real stage stealer. I love her.
He would definitely make a great therapy animal, I agree!
I do not like you using the a word in the public!
GET THE VEST
Mirasita Ragan dude everybody says bad words in a comment section!
I love seeing more of Ed in action. He’s so handsome. He should show himself more in videos.
Also great work from both of you. Such a great cause.
Susann Burnell agreed! Emily and Ed are such a great duo!
handsome?
@@femcelgirlfren lol
@@femcelgirlfren he is a very cute snake
@@aranielleb7718 the snake his name is Doug. The guy who we briefly chased around the table at 3:37 is Ed, Emily's hubby.
This episode of Snake Discovery has been brought to you by Kleenex, because you are gonna need one! Very wonderful thing you guys did there :) Doug makes me want a boa.
Doug is the MVR: most valuable reptile.
Yes, you win the comments section 😆
Omg Emily that confidence when you put Doug over ur back and walked away sassss🙂
😉😙
"we boxed everything because its a surprise"
Has SNAKE DISCOVERY on her jacket
Welp so much for the stealth Rating ;)
She covered it up though
@@IMINYOURWALLS.. not at that Moment tho :P
It’s a snek in a box! Doug looked so comfy in there.
*RIP chocolates. Emily and Ed are good eaters!*
you can feed them room temp or frozen thawed chocolate and they munch it on!
I have an honest question, why would anyone dislike this video? A child got to have her dream come true, what is wrong or offensive about that?
Jett Russell I can’t fathom what anyone could dislike about this. It was absolutely heartwarming.
Well someone could think that snakes shouldn’t be held and think that snakes should only be in the wild. That’s my thought though
*cough* peta
Jett Russell there’s a lot of dislike bots these days
@@madmanpecos yeah that's true
Now that's a large box of chinese take out noodles. I bet a full size sulcata is the fortune cookie!
Allen Jay she should’ve put noodle inside
I tried fortune cookies once. Kept choking on little pieces of paper though.
karla: "Emily from snake world wait snake discovery"
me: dies laughing
Maddie: "Is this English?"
me every time I see cursive
It's hard reading older people's handwriting when they give us notes at work (usually a work order or complaint (and sometimes the blessed note of moving out in a month)) because it's all in cursive. I stare at some words for solid minutes at a time until I hand it off to my older boss who can read it with ease. XD
7:48 When you read a doctor's "handwriting"
That language is greek
Who else is greek and read that me
@@hyunjins_wife_veryreal I recognized it as Greek but I had no clue what it said... "It was all Greek to me" 😜🤣
Doug was such a good boy! The others were well behaved, too, but Doug was the star!
I had tears in my eyes when Maddie went up the stage and the whole segment ensued 😭😭😍 live your dream precious child!!
You and the team who organized this are amazing!! This is so wholesome 💕
You can TELL that the people involved really cared! They really wanted Maddie to be happy. Also, that event looked super fun.
Emily: *casually wears Doug off stage*
That lady did such a great job holding the snake and staying calm. Good for her that’s a really sweet thing to do for that little girl
As a person who has a BP and is on the spectrum, I love having my BP on me. I love the feeling of him holding onto me. I really do want a bigger snake. Boyfriend says not right now. Which is understandable.
Samee, they're outstanding
Basket case?
No this is a basket snek
baskin snek...
Justin Y is so popular in the comments section of so many videos that there are parody accounts of him and his not even a youtuber
@@warlockboy3864 that's correct
It's Basket Snek airlines where we allow sneks to travel in baskets from place to place for wishes to be true!1!
Yes one case of basket snakes please. Thanks.
Hamilton? This kid's got her priorities straight.
Yes thank you. P.S I hope she got to see Hamilton with the original cast with Lin-Manuel Miranda.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON! **DUDADADA**
@@connorbower1205 I wish they did a special one for her, and she got to meet all them.
@Remy Sleep Hi Remy, didn't know you liked friends.
Got you 300 likes btw
Very good peformance by doug, he clearly doesn't have stage fright!!
11:42 guys did you see how happy that guy was to hold that snake
OMG it was so cute
This is inspiring. Makes me wish I was around snakes like Doug more often. I've been more enlightened and watching these videos really puts the snakes in a positive light
Thank you for showing us how these noodles can make others happy. Even if there's people who don't like snakes ;3
*pureness overload* I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT! Emily you guys are easily the biggest positive channel on youtube, I love you guys so much and I cannot wait to meet you and support you through taking one of your babby snakes home (one day! Would love to pick up a false water cobra but I still have quite a lot of research in that department! And they still have lots of growing lol). You guys brighten my day/week/month/year whenever you upload, I've felt a huge release in my anxiety through watching you guys for the last year and whenever I feel down it seems to be that I just ran out of of Snake Discovery videos to catch up on and ran out of steam and need to go back and watch a few older videos.
You, Ed, the herps, and Cheyenne are better than any medicine!! Love you guys so much sorry for my ramble
“Thank you, little buddy, I love you, too!” I’m not crying. You’re crying.
Ha! I have finally seen the elusive Ed :D
Doug: 🎵 OUT OF THE BOX! 🎵
Emliy: You have to stay in here though, I’m sorry.
Do you remember that show?
I miss that show, it was one of my favorites when I was a kid
Karla was so sweet. You could tell she was uncomfortable but she stuck it out for Maddie. Poor gal. lol Also, I can relate to that woman about the sensory stuff SO much. I use a weighted blanket and if I'm stressed, I'll hold my ball pythons. It's like the perfect hug. Hoping to get a boa someday. They seem like the perfect snake for me so far.
Doug was a good little noodle I'm so proud of him. Good job you two I don't think I have a more favorite UA-cam channel keep up the good work!!! I hope you make it around Missouri some time
Honestly, this is the sweetest thing I've seen in awhile. Em, you and Ed are freaking awesome~
I just love how Emily after getting Doug back just casually puts him on her shoulder
What you did was absolutely amazing, making someone's dream come true!! God-bless you!!
Honestly, any and every time I need a pick me up, this is the best way for me to get it. You, Ed, and 'the Lady' Klara (according to the comment XD) are absolutely amazing. The fact that you two went out of your way to do this, AND the fact that she was able to push her dislike of snakes aside... it speaks volumes.
Thank you so much for posting this.
This is amazing~
ya it randomly popped up in my feed again so I gave it another watch :-)
You bring so much positivity and kindness to the world. Thank you Emily, Ed, and Doug 🐍
I'm amazed on how many people went to see the snakes and carry them. I see so many people who are afraid of them and won't even dare to look at them. This is amazing. I'm glad Maddie got her wish and it warmed my heart to know that the lady faced her fears for a moment just to please this sweet little girl 😊
I’m so happy to see more of Ed, when you go where joking around with the chocolate it made me chuckle and laugh uncontrollably 😂💕
Transgendered Muhammed ...Ed is her boyfriend
The way Doug looks up, at Emily, as he’s placed into the basket is adorable.
So friggin sweet! I grew up with a 4 and 5 foot snake, my dad was a huge reptile fan and totally loved them and babied them, so I grew up learning how to handle and respect reptiles, I love your channel and everything that you guys work towards, thank you so much for sharing, I really hope that your zoo/business/ classrooms, work out, you guys are amazing and so knowledgeable and I hope tons of people are able to learn from you guys! Again, thank you for sharing, you are all awesome!! ❤😊❤😊
THAT GIRL IS A HAMFAM LEGEND NOW! sharing to the Hamilton FB group i'm in.
Btw the text in the original letter read:
"Maddie,
Wishes & More is sending you to Harry Potter World in Sunny Florida!
Congratulations and have fun!"
Nice touch haha
Was that Greek?
@@JaelinBezel It was English, but written in the greek alphabet. A non-english speaking greek would not have been able to read it, just as an English-speaking person with no knowledge of greek characters would not have been able to read it either.

That was a very heart warming video. Thank you.
Ed, from a (retired) pro to another: Carry a roll of gaffer's tape. So many uses in production and it leaves no residue on practically all surfaces.
If in only had a dollar for every time someone needed something gaffer taped.
I am smiling so hard my freakin' FACE hurts! That was so good of y'all to do that; it was truly amazing. I kept seeing myself in those little girls; the very first snake I ever held was an extremely nice ball python that the local snake zoo, the Panama City Beach Snakeatorium, brought to our gradeschool when I was in first grade. I was the first kid to ask to hold one that day and if I could've kept that python I would have! Now I have three of my own, plus other reptiles; but I've never forgotten the weight and soft, smooth feeling of that beautiful snake. Thank you for giving that experience to others (and for waking a few adults up too!)
Me : can I have a green tree python
Mom : u already have a fish

This is now canon.
Bam bam BAAM! 😮 I like it!
It was a Burmese python though. But I love your thought process! Although he could have been part of the magical world...so maybe he had to take on a new identity so he wouldn't be found! Maybe you're right..
@@aliward9818 Maybe it was Doug *dressed* as a Burmese python.
@@lesliejohnson2982 that's a great point! Maybe he had to conceal his true identity when he knew he was going to be captured!

AWESOME, SNAKE DISCOVERY!
Im not crying, you are!
I have watched this everytime it gets in my recomended feed and I ugly cry every time😭
Why did this make me cry !!!! This makes my heart melt how amazing
That is the sweetest, I am in love with the princess lady and the little girl was just so cute!! This whole thing just melted my heart ❤️
I love how almost everyone just loved interacting with the snakes. I could tell it changed their mind sets on them.
I am crying all over the place. That little girl is after my own heart.
This is amazing in SO many ways.
The little girl gets her wish.
You get to be absolutely badass on stage, just wrapping the snake around your shoulders and walking out.
The patrons get to know more about snakes, and understand them better.
Ms Blomberg gets to test her courage and dedication.
It really is a win-win for all
Or a win-win-win-win ;P
I'm not Crying, YOU'RE CRYING. Stop it!
You guys are awesome for donating your time and energy.
12:54 I cried happy tears. I'm so proud of her for holding Doug that long! She wanted someone to help because he was getting heavy is all👌🏻
Aww I love snakes too! The animals not the humans.

@Jazzlyn Lipps I'm not throwing away my shot
Much respect to you and Ed for so many reasons but the fact that you helped make a dream come true for this little girl is just fantastic. Thank you!
didn’t think i could look up to you guys more but you are just great people. this is a good video.
Emily, thank you for sharing this beautiful experience! It's truly touching to see the hard work people put into making others smile. :)
4:05 THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING HAHAAH THEY WERE GONNA KNOW FROM YOUR LOGO BUT YOU A SMART NOODLE
I love seeing people who are scared of snakes actually come into contact with one and realize how cute and awesome they are!!!! (though of course if you're afraid of snakes that's ok too)
Doug was amazing, such a sweet boy. Love seeing events that can showcase reptiles in a positive light. Keep up the awesome work Emily. ❤❤❤🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Honestly, I cried, I LOVE snakes and Harry Potter just like her and would love to go to Harry Potter world and hold snakes and have snakes (I’m not allowed 😔) but she deserves to do it way more then I do. This put me in a good mood :)
Kiley Bowser you’ll get one soon, even if you don’t get it when you’re with your parents, but when you can get one you’ll get to choose everything. Trust me it’s worth the wait :)
@@insertnamehere7827 sooo so so worth it. being a kid feels like fooorrrreeeeever but i swear, it gets better! freedom to make your own choices is AWESOME!
I'll never understand why parents refuse certain pets to kids. I was never one of those kids until I wanted to get pet rats since I've always adored animals. I'm sure if I had asked for a macaw my mother would've let me, but rats were out of the question. Recently I was given the chance to get 2 and I did. Before getting them, I was depressed and wouldn't leave my room besides to use the bathroom and go to school every couple of days. My physical health and mental health was shocking, but after I got them I improved significantly. My mother fell in love with them and actively tries to convince me to get more (I currently have 5). People are scared of what they don't understand. Anyone and everyone can get over a fear, some just aren't willing to do it.
@@miadost8236 wow, that's awesome!! i'm so glad your mom realized how amazing rats are as pets! they're so sweet!!
Thank you for doing this!!!! Everyone involved in making an amazing night for sweet Maddie
