I haven´t seen a translation for the German yet, so here we go:
At 9:43:
"It+s going quite well. I would say we are about half way through and I say, may another hour or so and then we are through. And I think we will win this. Or what do you think?"
"Yes, I am very happy so far. Now it´s a bit slower and easier, the hardest part is done"
At 17:15:
" We are Team Purple and we made this enclosure for active desert dwellers, for that we created different zones such as caves, passageways and on the upper levels hides and climbing opportunities. Especially for desert hunters."
Thank you for providing the translation.
Mmm dessert hunters
Thank you!
Thank you for the translation.
Thank you, German translation person, I appreciate your contributions to the comment section, know that you are cherished evermore.
:'D As a German myself I love the secrecy of the Purple Team :'D Obviously I understand everything ;)
:O
Grüß Dich
Same here, by the way, you need someone for translating? Especially the last part and the middle one where they're describing, would be interesting I guess.
@K.S.A_privat Maybe I’m just sleep deprived, maybe my bar for humor is low, but discovering today that “howdy” translates directly into German is sending me over a cliff. 😂
One of them sound like a born german, its funny, if you understand them and hear the difference😇
No offence to the youtubers, but the zoo med team absolutely crushed this challenge. Im in love with all the extremely naturalistic environments. Yall need to invite Serpa Design to one!
Yeah, it would be cool to have him in one! But I almost want it to be a longer and bigger build, with only contestants who make their living making naturalistic enclosures, so the experts can really show off.
They’ve tried inviting him in the past I think. Not sure why it didn’t work out but I’d so love to see them collaborate in the future!
Tanner Serpa is top tier... his entry into the competition just wouldn't be fair to the other contestants 😂
Yes
Tanner would shine!!
There isn't a single enclosure in here that isn't amazing to look at. The tropical ones are fantastic but I am amazed at how awesome all of the arid enclosures came out because it seemed like it would be the less interesting climate between the two. Teams Gold, Denim and Red are my favorites but I don't think I could possibly pick between the three! It was hard to narrow them that far.
Those are my favorite as well!! I agree with your whole comment
The difference in the quality of enclosures made by these professionals versus the regular build-off contestants is astounding; these are absolutely works of art that do an amazing job providing animals everything they need, while the regular entries are more gimmicky. I can't wait to see which team wins this build-off and how they do in the regular competition; I'm sure they'll crush it!
Not only is there a difference in how they were made with an eye towards the animal. But with an eye towards the keeper as well. Those enclosures would actually be practical to keep animals in the long term. Each place in those enclosures was accessible for cleaning. While also being able to make the animal comfortable and secure. That is a very hard balance to master. Really shows their experience of animal care in the long term.
so far Team Red is in the lead at 53% because of the amazing water feature. In fact the top 3 spots are Team Red, Team Yellow, and Team Orange because of the water features. there's 14 hours of voting left.
I loved team red! Voted!! Garter snakes RULE!!
Yes
I did too! GIRL POWER!
Another garter fan! I'm trying to consider the other enclosures I love but the garters are over here selling it for me 😂 they did a SUPER good job on catering to them, too! Such a nice build
Happy National Women's Day!
Go team Red!
Same.
A lot of the others went for more unusual or obscure reptiles (or amphibians), but I really appreciated that they picked a species that’s familiar to most of us and a really great species too.
Plus, they knocked it out of the park with their build. It’s beautiful!
9:43 German translations
"It's going quite good, we are about halfway done, and I think in about an hour we are going to be ready. And I think we are going to win this thing, or what do you think?" " Yes, of course. I am quite happy so far, and now it's going a bit slower and easier. The hard part is done."
(Just a ruff translation)
I DEFINITELY think Team Red Tegu won. Go Garter Snakes! And Girls! But seriously, I love their enclosure! 😁
I love how many of/ if not all the teams made so many peep holes and viewing areas. And they were so differently competitive to the regular build off lol i love this! And so many different creatures represented!
Zoo Med has fantastic customer service. I had a piece break on a front open terrarium (the lock tab). Emailed their wonderful CS team and they sent me a replacement part completely free. Shipping and everything. No hassle whatsoever. Zoo Med is AWESOME!
Emily & Edd you should do a UA-cam collaboration with Rhett and Link for Good Mythical Morning! Link is named the serpent king. Y’all’s energy would match!
I would love to do that someday! We love GMM!
@@SnakeDiscovery i named my male reticulated python Cotton Candy Randy because he whispers sweet nothings in your ear and he has a mouse in a sock
@@bradleydanek3958 That is awesome. I love Cotton Candy Randy. He is creepy and yet so funny.
@@SnakeDiscoveryyou two with Rhett and Link would be *incredible*!
@@SnakeDiscovery I would love to see some kind of contest with Emily and Link versus Ed and Rhett. Emily and Link would be the funny children, Ed and Rhett would be the exasperated adults. 🤣
All of the enclosures turned out so AMAZINGLY like holy crow! It is legitimately difficult to pick who to vote for, geez. Everyone was also so nice and clearly had a lot of fun, I'm so glad. I love how different each team was, but how well they worked together to produce such a level of artistry in these enclosures.
I vote RED TEAM ! Love the snakes they built it for.
Let's go Team Red!!! Such an awesome enclosure.
Team Blue's is so cool (imo) but hardly getting any votes! I love the little cave that you can see into, I think that's really cool.
I voted for them. The underground cave won me over
I like how team orange was quick about it but they had everything they wanted so I'm not surprised they were done early
I like how team blue came together with less than what they wanted and did amazing
However I have to go with TEAM RED because they thought of red side garter snakes and built in a mini feeder pond. The animal they chose also went with the team color as an added bonus ❤
So many pass off on garter snakes it makes me sad
All the enclosures look so amazing, I'm in awe of the creativity on BOTH the desert and even the more "standard" tropical approach, the sales team really knows what they're doing. I wrote pretty much everyone on my "short list" before they were showing the last enclosure and... suddenly I realized they had already shown every enclosure and I hadn't really narrowed down my vote at all 😂
I usually work graveyard so I think I'll sleep on who to vote for and vote in the "morning"- hopefully I'll be able to narrow it down at least a little! 😆 Team Red already has me biased by bringing in my love of garters, gosh darn them
It was so hard to choose who to vote for but ultimately I was caught between Gold and Red. The mangrove environment that the Gold team did is completely amazing, although the Red team juuust edged them out for me with that gorgeous water feature; it's a garter snake paradise!
THE FACT THAT I AM LEARNING GERMAN AND COULD TELL A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT PURPLE SAID MAKES ME SO PROUD OF YOU
Yaay! I'm learning Norwegian so the words sounder familiar but they could have been saying anything lol😅
I caught a bit too ! Learning german power o/
Wow.. These enclosures are better than a lot of the ones they had from previous build offs. Zoo med really knows their products and used it to their advantage. I couldn’t choose a favorite!
How are we supposed to chose?? To all the teams, well done, the builds were ALL amazing! 💚
And thanks for showing off your skill, those builds are quite the inspiration!
They did these in 4 hours, folks! These are incredible! They are definitely the types of enclosures I hope to see in build offs. They are extremely functional and superbly done.
at 5:26 " We do not understand you, we're just speaking german" xD
As a german i loved this haha😂
It was too funny to randomely hear your native language in an english yt video haha❤
I'm partial to mangrove environments, and I've never seen that done before! I hope Team Gold wins! They're all world-class though! 🤩
Man all of the teams deserve a round of applause! All of these enclosures look gorgeous and natural. And even better they will be comfortable, enriching homes for whatever animals end up living there! So excited to see who takes the crown.
I still think that a special build-off in the future should be a big one. I'm thinking something like 6x3x3 or even 4x4x8 enclosures sizes, a build-off that takes place over 2 or even 3 days in teams of 3 or 4 people. (With access to carpentry tools and supplies) I get that the smaller enclosures are more likely to get sold in a home, but I mean, there are also larger reptiles that would love those awesomely-built enclosures too!
Such a tough pick, i was wavering between Orange and Red, but the flow of the garter enclosure is just lovely!
Happy National Women's Day!
happy women's day to you to❤
The German dudes speaking with no motion captions is killing me 😂😂😂😂😂
Omg. Me too. It just made it a 100× funnier😂
Close caption?
@troebeliewoep Pretty sure closed captions need to be enabled. whereas motion captions appear as part of the video automatically.
@@cortneyp.1564 yep
motion caption? like Andy Serkis playing Gollum?
All enclosures turned out amazing.
Gold for the Gold! Orange should take a page out of Gold’s playbook. Less is more, and as a Floridan, I’m blown away by the accuracy of the mangroves
Everyone did an amazing job!! They truly enjoy their jobs! Thanks 🙏
Picking only one??? Oh my!!! They are all amazing! Took me forever to pick. Thanks for this.
Look at that! Living in Texas and having learned German actually came in handy!!!
I was originally going to vote denim but red did so amazing! Incorporating not only snakes but a great way to feed them aswell!
Every single one of that terrarium are incredible. They look all so well put together and taught trough it is unbelievable they are made as part of a timed challenge.
This is amazing. I love the creativity of all the teams! The enclosures are looking great!
Team Red! Love garter snakes and that enclosure is AMAZING!!
I'm flabbergasted! Every team did such an amazing job I have no clue who to vote for.
Great job on all builds. Red team is my fave ❤
These are all so amazing! It’s going to be the hardest vote yet.
All of these are incredible. Seriously can't pick just one to vote for they are all stunning! 🤩
Teams gold and orange did BEAUTIFULLY I can’t figure out which one I loved more
They all look so amazing 😮
These guys all know their stuff!!! So incredible.
Wow they are all amazing it's hard to pick which one I like most!! Well done everyone involved! ❤
My favorite was definitely team denim!
As an Australian I find it so perplexing "going for an Australian look" is that Tasmanian rainforest, central desert, coastal beach, far north tropical daintree forest, eucalyptus bushlands or plains etc. Our continent is so massive and has such diverse landscapes that could all look like completely different countries it makes me so curious as to what people think it looks like here. Where I live I can be in three vastly different landscapes if i go 30 minutes in different directions.
Love the random Nesquik bottle in the background LOL! Good luck all!
I love your channel! Visiting your zoo is #1 on my bucket list😃
it would be cool if there's also llike a "zoo med winner" voted by employees and how well they incorporated the zoo med supplies i think that would be dope
been watching the build off series from the 1st one and wow like professionals are really on another level
This is too hard to vote 😱😭 can’t we say they all win
Whoa, professionals!! Only 4 hours but all of the tanks turned out great, really beautiful! It’s so hard to decide which one is the best!
Purple's enclosure gives me wind-swept canyon vibes. Love it!
Finally, being German has an advantage!
Team orange or purple - just Wow!! 🥰
i love that hanging sphagnum moss and am going to steal that idea for my own tank.. they have my vote !
I'm so used to English in the Snake Discovery videos so I was a bit confused by the German introduction. I'm from Germany and understood it straight away, but my mind couldn't handle this surprising change. :D
Try and get ZooMed to produce bigger enclosures. Its time the industry starts giving reptiles more room 👍
Team red!!!!!
Wow this is gonna be tough...with each enclosure u showed at the end I was like o I'm gonna vote that one..then the next o no that one..and we only get one vote??? That sucks...lol
OMG! Once again I am AMAZED AT THE CREATIVITY!! I love them all! I am so impressed with the desert multi level enclosures and that red team for the garter snakes…awesome! Now to ponder over a choice!
These all turned out incredible! 😮
Looks like a bit of a landslide win but it will be interesting to see what the final results are. Loved the team’s enclosure I voted for. It just stood out as a lot of people seem to agree! 🙂
It's so interesting to see how the enclosures are quite different to the usual built offs. It is so evident that they all know their products and the enclosures look absolutely stunning! I didn't think I'd enjoy this more than the original built off, but I actually did. Outstanding work everyone!
These enclosures did not disappoint. I really like the way the hanging sphagnum moss looks!
Zoo Med is so cool for doing this, they look like a great company to work for.
Love team Red's enclosure. Red sided Garter Snakes are awesome. The enclosure is awesome too.
Oh my goodness! These are absolutely gorgeous! Gonna be hard to decide ❤
Aha my private german tutoring is paying off!
All the enclosures look magnificent!!! Going to be hard to choose a favourite.
Purpur Bande; ausgesighnet!
Everyone did such a great job! Voting was so hard!
I am very impressed with how much everyone knows about the species they were building for. Bravo everyone! I could not choose a winner.
Team Red and Team Gold were the best. Team Gold did a perfect rendition of a mangrove swamp and that water feature was such a clever idea. Team Red doing a whole paludarium for garter snakes just hit it right out of the park though.
These are all so good 👏👏
All contestants should be so happy with their builds! Every single one of these builds is someone's favourite
Voted. Team Purple.😊
it would be so amazing to have a video where you went around the zoo-med hq and got tips and tricks for enclosure deco
Long year Professionals really hit diff!!! Those enclosures are awesome! I wanna live in one...
I have no idea who to vote for. These are all spectacular
I've never liked so many arid tanks. Truly amazing what they did. They're so much harder to make aesthetically pleasing and those are gorgeous!
I was torn between Team Gold's mangrove set-up & Team Red's for the garter snakes. I finally went with the Team Red's garter snake build 'cuz it was just gorgeous & I have a soft spot for garters. I think the snakes will love that enclosure! Good luck, everyone!
These are so mature compared to compared to the normal entries. I hope the contender brings the spice for next year!
I've known Tom from team blue headed agamas for years, knew something like the snowmen were coming haha. They definitely made the best tank
I don't know why I was underestimating these folks. Obviously, most people wouldn't work at a reptile products company for 10-15 years, if they weren't really into reptiles. Beautiful enclosures. It's hard to decide which one I like best.
im so excited to watch this!! You guys are my favorite people to watch on youtube!!!
My favorites:
#1: Team Red
#2: Team Orange
#3: Team Gold
I'm blown away - every enclosure was beautiful, well-suited for their intended species, and practical to maintain as the keeper. True professionals!
My favorite red team their field was awesome❤❤
This was SO HARD TO VOTE ON. Even picking a top 3 is tough! All amazing builds
Ok for the desert I like the purple, but for the rainforest it’s gotta be red ❤😊
I loved all of them and it is to hard to chose ❤❤😂 but I think team gold💛, orange 🍊 , red 🌹 and blue.🦋
Love the channel
Go Teams!
I love how functional all the enclosures were!
It really shows that these employees know their stuff!
(and I of course voted for my favourite, though it was a tough choice!)
im so impressed with everyone of these enclosures! all of them get first place in my eyes! omgosh so amazing!
I honestly can't decide which is my favorite, they're all so amazing
Voted, but man that was hard to pick!!!
Oh my gosh, they are all so good. And the fact that they did all that in 4 hours... xD I'm really impressed. Voting is gonna be really difficult because I really do love them all.
Video on my birthday , yippeee 🥂
I voted Team Red, because I absolutely loved how they balanced the needs of the animal with both aesthetics and while also keeping the "view-ability" of the animal in mind. Of course the animals need should always come first, but for me it is also important to be able to keep an eye on my pets and to know where they are; if only for health reasons.
Team Purple and Denim were close seconds for me for similar reasons and because they stayed true to the arid theme by only adding plants that would make sense in an arid environment (If I had to choose between them I would go with Purple, but only because I am German and I loved the confusion they caused, hahah).
While most of the other enclosures (especially the tropical themed ones) were more "conventionally" aesthetically pleasing, I felt they were a bit overcrowded sometimes. Like the teams still some more time left and tried to improve them by adding things, but instead made it worse. Ironically we have a word in German called "verschlimmbessern" (lit. to make-worse-improve), which means "to make something worse by trying to improve it".
But lets be honest, all the enclosures were absolutely amazing and I would not be able to make an enclosure even a quarter as good as they did. It was very clear that they all knew what they were doing and had the animals best interests in mind. I look forward to seeing the winners at the Snake Discovery Build Off soon! 🐍🎉
