You should name the Burrowing python Coprolite. That’s what Fossilized dinosaur poop is called.
we had the same Idea I also commented that lol
I thought exactly this!!
Coprolite is the term for *any* fossilized poop, not just dinosaur
Good one! I love it!
Much better than my idea!
This was going to be my suggestion, so I'm glad to see it's the top comment already! He should either be named Coprolite or something based on it.
i love how Ed went from not talking on camera to yelling "BUTT!" in front of millions of people... love you guys.
I rememberrrrr top 10 character growths frfr
Poo💩💩
Lol 😆
He also appeared on camera topless when he got his tattoo so he's gotten so much more comfortable Infront of camera...he's come on so much and I love Ed .... I love Emily too they are a great pair and are definitely made for each other
We unleashed a monster!! (and are very happy we did!) 😂😂
If I remember correctly another weird trait of the Calabar boa is that it has the thickest scales of any snake, and by a wide margin too. Apparently it's to protect it when it eats baby rodents, because the mother obviously isn't going to just stand by and let that happen, and tries to drive the snake off by biting it. However, its hide is so thick it can just ignore an angry rodent biting and scratching it.
That's fascinating
:D
If I remember, I don’t care what what you remember…
That's cool
Obviously you do you commented@@TedSallisakaManThing
Legless lizards are always hilarious in Germany. We don't have deadly snakes and just one type that is slightly venomous, so snakes are technically not dangerous, but everyone still runs away screaming. Until you get that one person who walks over, goes "Huh, it's a Blindschleiche (legless lizard)" and reaches down to pick it up for everyone to see😂😂
I did that once and absolutely terrified everyone 😅
It was so fun xD
“ Kreuz Otter “ is actually venomous tho…well I thought it was I’m not very sure tho- my teacher just said that they’re deadly 😅
All I ever come across are little babys and they are always so adorable!!
We get adders in Somerset, England. Often seen them squashed by vehicles on the road as they try to warm up. Fascinating to show the kids and horrific for the Pansy adults!!
@@-Angi3_Panda- I don’t think there venomous
How about calling him Copper? Because Coprolith is the name for fossils of dung, and copper sounds like that word while also seeming innocent at first glance. Plus, just like the metal, he has an orangey coloration to him!
Ohh this is EVEN BETTER
YEAH!
*Coprolite
@@Amaranthyne I saw it the other way first in a book. It also makes sense both ways, as both are greek in origin and translate roughly the same: "stone sh*t".
@@kennyholmes5196 Fair enough
My suggestion for the burrowing boa's name is Winnie, as in "Winnie the..."
I thought the same, hehe
Winnie the poo!
This is a great idea 😂
I was gonna suggest boba but urs is soo much better😂
That’s cute, better than my suggestion. I thought of Mr. Poopybutthead.
7:50 This is probably a big part of why they're not very dangerous to humans. It seems to me that a lot of snakes whose venom is medically significant to humans are specialized for eating mammals (eg pit vipers, who have special sensory organs specifically for detecting mammals' body heat). In contrast, many of the mildly venomous snakes seem to be specialized for prey that is distantly related to mammals, such as birds or frogs, and therefore have venom that isn't really designed to affect mammals severely.
Smart!
I know that I am a bit late to naming the Calabar Boa but I love the idea of calling him Coprolite. Coprolite is fossilized feces, with this being a fossorial species and looking like poo I think it is an amazing name.
That was so original I cried
Yay Legolas! I missed her! I’m glad to see she’s doing well. Scientists actually discovered a new species of legless lizard here in California a few years ago, it’s the only species to be named after my hometown! Never seen one, but I hope I will someday!
What town is that?
@@alicecain4851I did a search for legless lizards in California and found one called the Bakersfield legless lizard, could be that
The creepy smile after the Mangrove strikes is SCARY!
They’re kinda cute
@@escaped_cephalopod I'd still keep my eye on the jumpy one... She can't be trusted! LOL
@@LeslyN08 True
Creepy pastas vibe for sure
@@danielleduey1249 legit!!
Part of my Dad´s job is counting rare species of reptiles. If you live in europe and wanna see a legless lizard you should take a rectangle of black pond liner and lay it out in the sun. Reptiles will gather beneath it to soak up warmth. But be careful with Legless lizards, they can drop their tail like most lizards when they feel threatened.
Oh dear! That is a lot of tail to lose! Hopefully, if they need to drop their tail, they only drop a small part. (And because of a predator, not a curious human).
They live in America (i think)
@@CatThatLooksLikeHitler Snake discovery lives in America yes. Sheltopusik legless lizards live in Europe and Asia.
Definitely love the suggestion for Mr. Hanky! It's poop related without being inappropriate for kids. Plus Mr. Hanky is awesome. So 👍
Can we make a series out of this? Top 5 coolest/cutest/derpiest/etc. animals in your zoo with some facts about them?
I knew about the mangrove snake and legless lizard, but I still love hearing you talk about them!
Great idea.
This!!
Please! 🙏
I hope so, too. I was hoping they'd get to the bird poop frogs, then realized Emily was saying weirdest *reptiles* in the zoo, not animals. I don't think they have enough amphibians to do a video on the 5 weirdest amphibs, though. I wish they had broken it down into 5 wierdest snakes, then they could follow it up with lizards, etc.
Those Shield Agamas are just too freaking cute!!!
Name idea for the boa! What about a B-name like Bobby, Barry, or Benny to match the alliteration of “burrowing boa”? For example, “Barry the Burrowing Boa” is cute and fun to say :) Love you guys!
I vote Barry
I was thinking Coprolite, as that is the name of a poop fossil...
Weird but cute!!
This is one of your best videos yet. I feel like I'm right there in one of your tours, and you're speaking directly to me. Such a warm and approachable format! You really were born to be an educator and ambassador.
I don't know if it's the same with Calabar boas but I've read that in Rubber boas the tail as head misdirect is actually used in the wild as a way to keep the mom mouse or vole distracted while the real head eats the young in the nest since it's so slow moving and cold tolerant, and that's why in wild caught specimens the tail is heavily scarred but not missing like it would be if a predator chomped it. Super interesting little guys!
When Emily said “the number one weirdest animal we have here at snake discovery is” an ad came up for fabreze so it sounded like Emily said “the weirdest animal we have here at snake discovery is fabreze!” 🤣🤣🤣
looking at the shield-tailed agama, i wonder if the weird "extra spike" is just a vestigial tail tip? not a spike and just a bit of their tail that never flattened out or shortened and so sticks out, maybe even falls off as they get older and the "shield" portion of their tail thickens and develops more?
i've never heard of them before, they really are super cute!
It was so nice seeing Legolas (lizard) on the channel again, it's been a while
Oh this is gonna be a good one :)) I really hope I can make it across the country to the facility one day soon to see everything in person
Well I can't go at all I am all the way in the UK
Same
Same! i really wanna go and see all the cool reptiles!
@@freddrick_fazbearbroski you can travel between countries
@@matthewmusco2581 I am 12 and can't travel there and bring my family just for this
In Britain, Legless Lizards are called Slow Worms, I love them ❤
I have no idea why they would ever have got that name though. All the ones I've ever seen, and I used to have them in my garden so that would be quite a few, not a single one of them could ever be called slow!
Love the legless lizard. It was so cool to see a close up of its face in the video. I had seen some pictures of these before, but this was my first time to see it in such detail.
There's some good footage on the Jason show, if you're into that kind of thing
If you go waaaay far back enough, there is at least one video where they show and mention some things about them. I can't remember if it was the same video where they have their herpy friends all try to identify animals by touch, as they are blindfolded. It was done as a party game. :) Or, I seem to recollect that they had introduced Legoless before that, but could be wrong.
Last time I was there we talked about my calabar! It was when I adopted Garth the king snake last summer
Totally jealous that you've made it to their zoo!
I only live 100 miles from Clint and haven't made it to his place yet.
It's going to happen.
If I start saving now, I'll have enough money for gas, 2 overnight hotel stays, food, plus getting into Clint's Reptile Room plus the aquarium that's close and he talks about all of the time by November 2024.
It's also a 4 person trip because I don't drive - seizure disorder - and my daughter with disabilities comes everywhere I do.
My oldest daughter and her husband are our caregivers and would love this trip, plus someday going to Snake Discovery.
Sorry I'm so rambly - it's late and I take a handful of meds at night.
Night!
Scat, Nugget, Captain's Log, Loafy, Dingleberry, Jobby, Floater, Doodie.
I think Dingleberry would be a great name for a poop snake 😅 Great video as always and I also wanted to add that because of this channel and Emily's love for hognose snakes, I got my very first hognose, a Super Arctic! Thank you guys for always educating and sharing your passion for animals ❤
i love how when you talked about the Legless Lizard's tongue, instead of a snakes tongue which flickers out and seems so menacing at time it just pops out and just.. it just slaps your arm. "Slap slap". its so cute!
You should name him Hank for hankie the Christmas poo from South Park! Please like this comment so they see it. Sorry if someone already suggested it I haven't looked in the comments yet. PLEASE 🙏 LIKE.
I like the name Diglett for the burrowing boa!
My 10yo daughter thought the name Mud would be perfect.
Also I want to say your channel has changed her when it comes to snakes. She went from not even liking them to wanting to own one 🥰 sending love from Arizona.
You guys should make a video showing every single reptile you have in the zoo! I would love to see them!
I recently discovered the Calabar sand boa so seeing that boy was definitely my favorite
When I first saw a burrowing python I immediately thought it was a boa because of how similar it is to the sand boa which is one of my favorites. Glad to know I was right.
Such a great video Emily! Keep up the good work. You should definitely do another zoo tour.
Love the 'worm' snake. The Burrowing Boa was cute in his little poop ball. BTW love your videos.
We went to Chester zoo UK on Sunday, I geeked out at the tentacled snake enclosure. They also had a baby Komodo dragon, I found out that they are arboreal for the 1st 2 yrs.
The baby Komodo's have to hide from their parents and other predators until they get big enough on their own.
It ain't easy on any of the islands in that area.
Legless lizards are somehow even weirder than I thought. I didn't realize their tails were so dang long! That feels like a waste of space. You could fit so many guts in there, but instead you're spending extra energy maintaining a big beefy tail. I'm flabbergasted.
I am planning a trip with my boyfriend to come visit Snake Discovery! I look forward to seeing these guys in person!
Mangrove snakes look like if a sports car was a snake haha
I think a cute named would be cooper, because its close to coprolite, which is fossilized poop. Bonus points cuz he's fossorial
My name suggestion for the burrowing python/ boa is ✨turdtholomew✨
The Calabar boa reminds me a lot of rubber boas, which I think are almost weirder due to living in really cold environments on the northern Pacific Coast.
The Kukri is my favorite. But I would’ve put the Shield Tail Runner Up… fossorial is a cool word. I also didn’t know about Lateral Lines.
Awesome!
Now you have more space, are you considering breeding your own quail for the egg eating and bird eating snakes? An acquaintance of mine who had an egg eating snake got a few quail for eggs, and started selling the excess eggs to other snake owners, then someone with some kind of house snake which was refusing to eat rodents asked for a couple of hatchlings, and now he provides quail products to most of the pet shops in the area.
I’m thinking the burrowing boa could be called Kernal Hershey Squirt ?
I love this video. I have learned soooo much and you do an awesome job of teaching!
What a neat video! I loved seeing the shield-agamas and the burrowing boa, they were very cute! Legolas is always fun, we have "copper lizards" here in Sweden that are also legless lizards! Very adorable little critters! 🥰Are you considering getting the burrowing boa a mate in the future? Also, name suggestion: Muck (otherwise seconding the absolutely excellent suggestion of Coprolite that other's had) 😊
this was a great video!! love love love all of ur guys' stuff
I’m curious if the legless lizards have phantom/floating hip bones like whales do. What I mean by that is, obviously whales do not have legs, but since they evolved from animals with legs, they have hip bones that just exist within their body unconnected to their spine or any other bone structure, they just kinda float there within their body without a purpose.
I love this burrowing boa! You could go with the good old Mr. Hankey from South Park.
i swear your video quality and content keeps getting better and better!
The Binding of Isaac reference made my morning (I'm watching this the day after you posted-hope y'all avoided some of the crazy weather those of us south of you got last night, the wind startled our house awake several times). I mean why not like Boss Drip lol or Charmed Drip since he is friendly. I also lowkey immediately thought of Mr. Poopy Butthole once you said it needed to be poop related lol.
The Kukri snake was my fav. I just love how unique their teeth are compared to any other snake in the world. Fascinating!
1:18 I get to use one of these knives in a play I'm part of at school, although our fight choreographer does point out that they are really annoying to use safely on stage.
Great analogy for the expansion on the legless lizard
I absolutely enjoy the vids keep up the work I am in the UK but still love the vids hope you're having a great day or night
I saw a Calabar python once at a reptile expo, and when I looked it up later I couldn't find information on it. I was very surprised to see it in this video! Thanks for solving the mystery for me haha
I’m seriously loving your new camera!
Great video guys
The burrowing boa should me named "Mr.Hankey" after "Mr.Hankey the Christmas Poo" from South Park 😂😍
Coral snakes: RED NEXT TO YELLOW, YOU DEAD FELLOW!
Also most coral snakes: red next to black, bestfriends with you, jack!
Fun fact: I had realized that the calibar pythons, or boas, have similar color scales on their tails to simulate eyes to give a head effect. (Not all have it)
Calibar boa name idea: Corn, Swirl, droplet, dropping, cutsie poopsie, Taco, Chili (Taco bell and Chili make you poop more)
I love how in the background you can just hear the frogs 🐸
I remember when you guys got first got the Kukri snakes. Ed was super excited. I think you got them for him as a suprise, if I remember right? Though I think they aren't as weird as the Kukri and need to switch spots with them on the list.
I love Sheltopusiks. I feel like they're a branch that evolved from skinks. Everything about their head reminds me of skink.
But yeah, the Calabar boa/python is definitely the weirdest. Only one in the list I've never heard of before, and definitely looks the most unique.
Binding of Isaac fan here! Dunno which version of the game you guys are playing, but the mini poops are named dips indeed. The bigger ones have weirder names haha, so my suggestion for the burrowing boa’s name is like the boss, Dingle! And there's also two other similar bosses named Brownie and Dangle!
You should name “The Number 1 Most Weirdest Reptile” professor poopy pants from the movie captain underpants!
Name idea for the burrowing boa. Pyrite! The lighter scales made me think of fool's gold and still a rocky underground name.
I have mr hanky stuck in my head for the burrowing boa 😂
We love you guys - all the way from South Africa.
Name suggestion for the poop boa = Poopoodumpadudy❤
I LOVE the legless lizard!! 😍😍😍
I think you should call the Burrowing Boa "Corn Wallace". If somebody gets the reference it will make the moment even funnier.
I have a name suggestion for the burrowing boa!
What about corprolite? Fossilized 💩? 😂😂
You can name the Mr. Hankey from South Park! 🤣
Worm... That's the first thing I thought when I saw the shape of the snake's head and tell was that they were kind of what the ends of a worm would look like.
Here in the North of Spain, I am always encountering the legless lizard. They are as long as my forearm and usually a copper gold colour. They are usually chilling and do not seem to be very scared. 🦎+ 🐍💖
your burrowing boa looks like a brownie to me!!😄😂❤
finally! I know what a lateral line is! (my school is raising fish and my teacher didn't know what it meant)
I think you should name Mr Poop Snake 'Clunk'. That's what the gladers in The Maze Runner call poop! Love your videos!
I love Maze Runner too!
Mr. Hanky! For #1 weird reptile/snake
The legless lizard kinda looks like an oversized worm 😂😂
There are these little spiky balls called gum balls they are a plant that fall from trees the extensions could be so they like those as camouflage because they fall over the place.
Mr Hankey! The Christmas Poo!
I wish you guys would come to Utah ... ive met Clint now I need to meet my two favorite reptile people
talking about rear fanged, i saw somewhere that they are doing research into garter snakes, and saying they are also rear fanged venomous
I can't believe you didn't think of Mr. Hankey.
Name idea!: Hoody Doody, or Undercover Duty
Love how the camera focuses on Emily's shirt but not on the reptile in front of it
A perfect name for the Calabar Burrowing Boa would be Mr. Hanky
You can call him MunDUNGus fletcher 😂
A lot of dinosaurs had split jaws as well! Just fyi. I found out at the houston museum of natural history 😅
The burrowing boa reminds me so much of rubber boas which are from north america XD
When Emily said “These guys are.. stupid cute!” I had to laugh so much bc of the way she said it 😂
Your videos are so many that I don’t even know how many they are😊
You could call him Scatty or Mr. Scat! 😂
A good video I didn’t know about that mangrove snake only having venom for birds as their and I was very good educational thing because I do want to get a mangrove snake It was good educational video I liked it.😊❤ I like your videos very much
I live in germany, one day I just saw a legless lizard in the wild! this was so cool!
The legless lizard just looks like one of those giant cheap sausages from the grocery store😂
Please, name him The Poopsmith. My millenial heart would explode.
The amount of butt references this video was kinda hilarious
so excited to see the calabar python on display! what a goofy, cute little guy
