Hearing Xanthe's story, I couldn't help but imagine them as a pokemon trainer sending their eggs to you to grow. AHH! When Emily pokes them to check if they're alive, that gives me an idea. You're the Poke-Poke-Poke Nursery.
Hey, that first hog is one of ours! That’s the pedigree chart that came out first and the brochure is the individual feed records and such. Really cool Nikki kept all that and sent it on to you! So happy you guys have her-look forward to seeing how she folds in to the projects. Hissy has her mama’s chubby cheeks 🥰
What you sow is what you reap. You both are some of the sweetest, kindest, and most generous of people I've heard of. Thank you for accepting these snakes, not only to breed cool morphs, but expanding the gene pool of your collection. Thank you also for sharing these with us all. Nikki, Xanthie, Adrian what you did is so kind and so generous. Bless all 3 of you.
I had a fellow hognose snake owning friend in france a while back who was sad because some laws changed which classed hognoses as venamous and therefore needing a license (or something like that, if memory serves at all) so once hers passed away, she would be unable to get anymore. Was reminded of that from Xanthe's story... I wonder if more countries than France did this :( im lucky to live in the uk where we still can freely own hoggies. what a lovely idea to own them through Snake Discovery as well as sharing the dnakes with rhe world. It's a sweet gesture!
In Australia so a fair bit removed from Europe, but we have laws that mean we can't own non-native reptiles. One of my dream snakes is a hoggie, but they're illegal TvT
we're really unlucky in Brazil, you can't keep non-native exotic animals because of people releasing their unwanted pets in the wild and making an invasive animal problem, but we also can't keep native exotic animals because out of concern that it might encourage animal trafficking.
It is so lovely that people are sending projects. I can't keep any more pets as I have a disability, one bird is more than enough, so I also watch for reasons of vicarious animal keeping. I will be very much looking forward to seeing how these pairings go in the next few years.
For the female het Mercury I was thinking Marie Curie because not only does the name sound like Mercury, but she was a famous chemist and Physicist who won Nobel Prizes in both those fields
@@Charlotte.M.S 😂 Okay, I would pay $20 for Ed to try to pronounce her actual last name, but you know how badly they’d mangle it, right? Trust me, stay with Curie… (and the male could be Pierre).
For the mercury makers names you could have Venus and mars following the planet theme, or you could go with an alchemy theme and go with plumb (shortened latin name for lead) and kin (japanese for gold) since mercury was used in alchemy
I'm loving the co-breeding project with Xanthe. What a creative way to both help out the people who inspire you, yet also have your own dreams realized. I looked it up and I need a license to own a hognose in my state. (Though I don't think that law is regulated very well as I know several people who have them) I thought an artic sunburst was my favorite morph of hognose, but now mercury?! And coral?? And Frosted?? Gah! Maybe it's a good thing I need a license, I would be so broke. 😂
It's so lovely seeing positivity come back to you, as you two are such positive joyous people I'm glad that people reflect that back to you. Looking forward to seeing your new breeding projects in time!
Cleo's Kindom Colubrids is an AMAZING hognose breeder!! I have 3 snakes from her and she is super nice and answers all my weird questions. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!
Love the long name for Hissy! I also gave my hognose a long name because I couldn’t pick between all of them, so his full name is Sir Hamlet Heathcliff Hiss, or Hamlet for short. 🐍
I love learning about different hognose morphs, especially the ones you guys haven't bred much of (yet). would you guys ever consider doing a video about all the different morphs and combinations, so people know what you're going for with all these new projects?
🐍Merry & Curry🐍!!!!! For the het mercury pair, I thought the female could be Mer/Merry or Mare. But the male should definitely be named Curry 🤭. So, together, they can be our Mercury pair😆. I'm sorry, I just NEEDED to get this out of my mind 😂😂😂 I couldn't stop thinking about it 😆
I feel Xanthe on an emotional level. I LOVE hognoses but Australian wildlife laws are very strict. I do agree with our laws to keep our environment and native wildlife as safe as we can, but sometimes I do wish I could have a beautiful hognose or ball python!
For the parents that will produce Mercury morphs, if you want to go with elements, Lead and Thallium should be the names; these two elements have radioactive isotopes that decay into mercury (i.e. 'make' mercury).
As someone who only wants snakes from you guys and want both Lavender and Coral morph hognose im SUPER excited to see yall heading towards those morph breedings.
Name suggestion…. Quicksilver and Cinnabar. We live near the former Almaden Valley Quicksilver mines and actually part of the Silicon Valley area of CA. The ore mined contained Quicksilver (aka mercury back then) and Cinnabar (mercury sulfide). :D
I love this so much! We just started with hoggies in August and we started with a pair that could make corals. I love mercury morphs so that is a goal I. The future and my husband loves storms so that will also be a future adventure. First comes the kids desire to make toffee glows and snows. We just got one a toffee for christmas and the other ended up with a snow. All of this started because of you guys. You inspired my girls to want snakes and to breed them. 😍
Kinda inspo... I receny was thinking of how pretty it would be to mix sable and lavender, looked it up to see if it's been done, and while yes it has it seems like only one person has! You guys totally should pair Rosy and a nice lavender (sorry I don't know the males you have of the morph lol) and see it! It's pretty dang pretty from the pictures it seems!
Hi Ed and Emily I've been watching your vids for so many years and me and my brother love you guys so much and my family loves them too! you are me and my families favourite youtubers love you guys so much!
Oh these snakes are utterly DELIGHTFUL oh my gosh! Their patterns are absolutely gorgeous! My suggestion for the Mercury-line pair would be: Helium for the male (named after Helios, the Greek god of the Sun, with the Sun represented as Gold in alchemy) and Selenium for the female! (Selene meaning Moon, also named after the Greek goddess of the Moon, represented as Silver in alchemy)
As names for the het Mercuries, I think Hermes for the male (since Mercury is the roman version of Hermes) and Quicksilver for the female (an older name for the metal mercury)!
for the mercuries: Hermes (m) or Hermès (f) (greek version of the roman name of mercury), Quicksilver (old name for mercury), or Stark (for how stark white they look)
I don’t know where in Europe Xanthi leaves but in France Hognose are considered as venomous so you need a long and expensive training to get a permit. Snake need to be microshipped and registered on a national register. You must declare if is it pet only or for breeding. In this case you will need to declare yourself as a seller and be registered as such. The only ”easy” snake to possess is the ball python. Even for a boa you need a special permit. It’s a pain the neck, as the training centers are few and most of the time far from where you leave. That’s why most of the escapees snakes found from time to time are very rarely claimed by their owners and come from ”illegal” sources and are registered nowhere.
That's interesting. In Alberta, Canada, you can't own Hognoses because they're technically native. You used to be able to own Eastern Hognoses but I don't think you can even do that anymore. I'd love a Western Hognose but unless I move, I can't own one.
Depending on the source, in Roman mythology, Mercury's parents are either Maia and Jupiter, or Dies and Caelus. Maybe the mercury makers could be named after them!
You might joke about long names/titles. They do exist. There was a Spanish Duchess that had 23 names and around 50 artistocrat titles...amont other things.
Since they make Mercury like Ed said they could both be elements. Both Zinc and Cadmium are in the same family as Mercury. You could also give them planet names like Venus, Earth, Mars. You could also name them after things that have Mercury in them. Like Thermometer, Thermostat, battery.
In Roman mythology, the parents of Mercury are Maia and Jupiter. In Greek Mythology the parents of Hermes (Greek equivalent to Mercury) are Maia and Zeus.
Away from the elemental aspect of Mercury, the roman god Mercury's greek counterpart was Hermes. Mercury and Hermes also often depicted with a Caduceus, a staff with two snakes. Mercury is associated as married to the nymph Larunda, and while Hermes tended to get around, its said his wife was the goddess Peitho
Because of your Hognose project and my curiosity, I managed to find a whole list of all the morphs. The one I was really curious about is what Lavander and Sable together would make; apparently somebody made it and called the morph combo Purple People Eater (so I joke to myself that they must've bitten straight out of the egg) Also I love the new Outro!
You can call the mercury maker hognoses ,for the boy merc and the girl ury and if you pout those two words together you get the word mercury !!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
One of the mercury babies could be QuickSilver, its another name for mercury. The other one could be named Hermes who is the Greek version of the God Mercury. ps. I'm a geek, lol with a wide variety of interests, lol!
for the Mercury female I think she should be named Larunda because in the Roman mythology she is his consort, for the male maybe go the Greek rout and name him Hermes?
It’s been a while since you guys did an unboxing video. So I have a silly idea for the het Mercury pair. For the female I thought of Amy/Ami (Sailor Mercury in Sailor moon) and for the male Quicksilver.
I was thinking for the het mercury morphs you could call them Nitrogen and Hydrogen or Cobalt and Iridium. All of them are elements so I thought it would be fun to name het mercury morphs after elements lol.
Names for the Mercuries, HG Wells (Hg is mercury on the periodic table) and Quicksilver (old timey word for mercury)!
Or the Roman God's Jupiter and Maia were the parents of Mercury., but I like your idea as well.
Or Mad Hatter and Quicksilver!
Hearing Xanthe's story, I couldn't help but imagine them as a pokemon trainer sending their eggs to you to grow. AHH! When Emily pokes them to check if they're alive, that gives me an idea. You're the Poke-Poke-Poke Nursery.

Hissy’s cheeks are SO DAMNED CUTE! I can’t wait to flip thru your UA-cam account - are you more active on other social media?
@ Awesome! Yes definitely more active on Facebook and Instagram…I tend to forget I have a UA-cam channel 🤣

I live in France and I can confirm Hognose snakes are so hard to find because of the law, which is a shame 😢😢

* Marie Skłodowska (Curie)
@@Charlotte.M.S 😂 Okay, I would pay $20 for Ed to try to pronounce her actual last name, but you know how badly they’d mangle it, right? Trust me, stay with Curie… (and the male could be Pierre).
These guys are the reason I love sneks. My dream snek is a sunburst or an axanthic hognose because hognoses are the cutest little sassy things.
It’s been delightful seeing Rosie grow up so big. I can’t wait to see her produce her first clutch!
Thank u Nicky & Xanthe & Adrian for sharing your beautiful hog noses with so many of us, who live vicariously through Snake Discovery!!!! ❤🫡💕
For the mercury makers names you could have Venus and mars following the planet theme, or you could go with an alchemy theme and go with plumb (shortened latin name for lead) and kin (japanese for gold) since mercury was used in alchemy
Mars is actually a sibling of Mercury and Venus is the consort of Mars. Jupiter and Maia are the parents of Mercury.

YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO GET CORALS!
I already love Hissy. I don't know why, but I do.
This is a throwback to the unboxing from the days of yore. Awesome!
YEEEES MORE SNAKES! So excited for Coral!
Thank you Zanthy!!!!!!! Im excited for this project
The breeder of Hissy, , Cleo's Kingdom Colubrids, is an amazing breeder. I have a couple snakes from her and highly recommend them!
Names for the hypo/caramels you could do cute coffee names like Latte and Macchiato ! I love Macchiato as a name!
Cleo's Kindom Colubrids is an AMAZING hognose breeder!! I have 3 snakes from her and she is super nice and answers all my weird questions. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!
14:48 I got it: Celsius and Fahrenheit :)
Love the long name for Hissy! I also gave my hognose a long name because I couldn’t pick between all of them, so his full name is Sir Hamlet Heathcliff Hiss, or Hamlet for short. 🐍

🐍Merry & Curry🐍!!!!!
For the het mercury pair, I thought the female could be Mer/Merry or Mare.
But the male should definitely be named Curry 🤭.
So, together, they can be our Mercury pair😆.
I'm sorry, I just NEEDED to get this out of my mind 😂😂😂
I couldn't stop thinking about it 😆
11:54 I love the hypo
How have you seen it 😂😊
I feel Xanthe on an emotional level. I LOVE hognoses but Australian wildlife laws are very strict. I do agree with our laws to keep our environment and native wildlife as safe as we can, but sometimes I do wish I could have a beautiful hognose or ball python!
Omg that hypo is GORGEOUS i didnt think any morph would top toffee for me me but its definitely a contender now 😮😮😮😮
Thank you xanthy for letting us see these cute snakes
For the parents that will produce Mercury morphs, if you want to go with elements, Lead and Thallium should be the names; these two elements have radioactive isotopes that decay into mercury (i.e. 'make' mercury).
As someone who only wants snakes from you guys and want both Lavender and Coral morph hognose im SUPER excited to see yall heading towards those morph breedings.
Hi Ed and Emily, I love your hognose snakes.
Such cute hognoses, I’m excited to see what future babies they’ll create.
Mercury makers makes me think of the god Mercury (Hermes in Greek)! And his parents are Gaia and Jupiter, so those are my name suggestions!
you guy are beautiful people! how you guys care for your snakes and for people is amazing!
They're so cute
Aww very nice Xanthi! And oh my goodness I can't wait to see the other four breed. ❤
Name suggestion…. Quicksilver and Cinnabar. We live near the former Almaden Valley Quicksilver mines and actually part of the Silicon Valley area of CA. The ore mined contained Quicksilver (aka mercury back then) and Cinnabar (mercury sulfide). :D
I love this so much! We just started with hoggies in August and we started with a pair that could make corals. I love mercury morphs so that is a goal I.

Those carmel ones!are beautiful!! Especially the male!! The mercury ones are very pretty to! Cant wait to see their babies!
Mercuries are one of my dream morphs along with stormclouds. I'll definitely be on those waitlists :)
Time for Hognoses 0:31 They are so cute

I need to see more shenanigan videos come on now I love you guys...😊😊😊😊
Depending on the source, in Roman mythology, Mercury's parents are either Maia and Jupiter, or Dies and Caelus. Maybe the mercury makers could be named after them!
The two names you could do for the mercury snakes could be milkway and mercury or milky way 14:28
Oh my gosh, they are sooooooooooooooooooo cute!😻😽💗🐍
Antimony and Pewter would be cool names for the Mercuries!
You might joke about long names/titles. They do exist. There was a Spanish Duchess that had 23 names and around 50 artistocrat titles...amont other things.

I love your show I watched it every day for the last 3 years rewatching each videos
I just got my first snake at an expo and it’s a hog nose. I just loveeee him!
Away from the elemental aspect of Mercury, the roman god Mercury's greek counterpart was Hermes. Mercury and Hermes also often depicted with a Caduceus, a staff with two snakes. Mercury is associated as married to the nymph Larunda, and while Hermes tended to get around, its said his wife was the goddess Peitho

The one I was really curious about is what Lavander and Sable together would make; apparently somebody made it and called the morph combo Purple People Eater (so I joke to myself that they must've bitten straight out of the egg)
Also I love the new Outro!
So excited to see these babies in the future. I think you should name the male Mercury and the female Mystic like the gemstone Mercury Mystic.
What cool noodles! I love Rosie the Hognose
Mercury and Mars are my name recommendations!
Hermes and Peitho the Greek pairing. Hermes being the Greek switch for the Roman Mercury
Carmel for the male and the butterscotch for the female and that is awesome and for the the pair mercury morphs one can be Mercury and Solar System
Hognose ´s are my favourite snakes. They are so cute. BTW you guys helped me get a bearded dragon 🐉.😊❤
You can call the mercury maker hognoses ,for the boy merc and the girl ury and if you pout those two words together you get the word mercury !!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
You are my favorite UA-camr
Mercury is in thermometers, so call them Celsius and Fahrenheit
Well, if you use Celsius and Fahrenheit then you will need to add Kelvin and Rankine for some absolute naming conventions.
For the mercury makers...name male merk and female uri... together they are merkuri "mercury"
i think you should put hissy in a enclosure on your desk because she is da QUEEN
Mercury ore is called Cinnabar. It’s bright red colour however
I love this videos these snakes are so cute
Yay! Thank you Xanthe!❤
So Freddie and Frieda for the het mercury snakes. That's what I think.
I’m seriously snakes no I haven’t watched the entire video yet but I’m so happy😊
Hm?
You're going to eventually have so much Buc-ee's merch they'll have no choice but to partner with you
Obsessed with Hissy Elliott. Queen 👑
14:36 Mercury and Mars or Saturn and Neptune *yall can pick which one gets which, and yes, i said Mercury since thats what they are, lol*
One of the mercury babies could be QuickSilver, its another name for mercury. The other one could be named Hermes who is the Greek version of the God Mercury.
ps. I'm a geek, lol with a wide variety of interests, lol!
Huzzah noodle time ♥️♥️💚💚 those babies were sooo pretty
for the Mercury female I think she should be named Larunda because in the Roman mythology she is his consort, for the male maybe go the Greek rout and name him Hermes?
They look so derpy with those big cheeks, absolutly adoreble snakes
I’m pretty sure Busty is possibly het hypo, it would be cool to prove her out with the hypo male
Rex is my favourite ❤🐊
Xanthe had a great idea 💡.
THEY ARE SO CUTEEEEE
"Hissy...Hisdemeanor...Elliot" 😆
You got to go with Ami for the Girl and Zoisite for the Mercury Hognose Snakes.
Fahrenheit and Celsius could be good names for the mercury pair! 'cause mercury used to be in mercury thermometers.
I've been waiting for u to make cool new snakes I was so excited when i saw this video!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THESE BABIES
What a dramatic name! I love it 😂
Since Mercury used to be used in thermometers, how about naming them Fahrenheit and Celsius! 💜
It’s been a while since you guys did an unboxing video. So I have a silly idea for the het Mercury pair. For the female I thought of Amy/Ami (Sailor Mercury in Sailor moon) and for the male Quicksilver.
here at the 40 min mark😼 thank snake discovery u helped me make sure i’m prepared for getting my snake tomorrow
I was thinking for the het mercury morphs you could call them Nitrogen and Hydrogen or Cobalt and Iridium. All of them are elements so I thought it would be fun to name het mercury morphs after elements lol.
For the mercury babies, what about Hermes (greek name for Mercury) and Talaria (those fancy winged shoes Mercury/Hermes have)
30 seconds. love your vids I’ve been watching since I was little ❤❤
