These are some really terrific tips, Emily! Love the penny trick, I'll give that a try! These were all killer. See you in a few weeks! Thank for chiming in during our Livestream. It was nice seeing you there 😊
I like adding a little risk into my life 😂 (in all honesty I never wear gloves when using pH down. But for liability reasons I figured I'd suggest wearing gloves when using it)
@Enderguin58 The youtuber Sulfuric acid isn't really that dangerous to skin. Worst case scenario you'll get some pretty dry hands and a little stinging if it stays on too long. Its not like it will eat away at your flesh or anything. (At least not unless you're soaking your hands in it for hours at a time) Looking at the safety data sheet for pH down it looks like its only about a 10% concentration of sulfuric acid. That is pretty safe all things considered. Look up a youtuber named Nile Red. He has a video of him dunking his hands in a bunch of concentrated acids and you can see that they don't cause very much damage.
@Enderguin58 The youtuber It's really not very dangerous, dry hands are probably as bad as you'll get with dilute H2SO4, maybe have your skin peel if you're using it a lot. If you have particularly thin or sensitive skin it might be problematic, but that's the same story as a lot of "toxic" plants, in which some people have to wear gloves or they'll get a bad reaction and others can handle them freely without ever noticing an issue.
I absolutely love how Charlotte just kept reaching down to check out all the products, like "hm, yes, this IS a pennies, and these ARE a filter, good job hooman"
As long as they make sure they are older pennies, dogs and cats can easily get zinc poisoning from post 1982 pennies, even just 1 penny can poison a cat or small dog.
@@Jaaambb i looked it up and it says they range from western Europe to eastern Asia, they are the only snakes to live above the arctic circle, and they are they are the only snake native to Britain!
I'm getting my first snake today and it's all thanks to you I've learned so much from your channel and now my mom is confident in me getting one so thank you for teaching me all of these amazing things
Actually, quite a few of them are absolutely delicious. The principle is you just dump everything in the pot (hence the name), then let it cook. Another name for them is 'one pot wonders'. :)
Emily: so these pennies kill bacteria and viruses Me: well, time to sprinkle these copper pennies on the road, stores, and even some in my pockets just to be safe!
Additional tip for the pennies: If you find 1982 pennies, you can tell if they are copper or not by dropping them on a hard surface (like granite) and the copper will make a distinctive melodious ringing sound and the zinc ones will make a more clanking sound. You can make sure you hear the sound difference by dropping a pre and post 1982 coin. Also, copper pennies are slightly heavier (3.11g copper to 2.5g zinc) if you have a scale precise enough.
My snake tank was once an aquarium that I found in a dumpster. I disinfected it very well but there's still some calcium buildup. Will def try that sulfuric acid hack.
I love this! We are planning to get snakes here in the next couple of years and every tip we see is making us more excited to finally get them and reduce the stress of if we think we can handle it.
Thank you Emily for your videos, it spiked my interest in snakes and my parents are considering getting my a snake (after months of begging) and your videos are not only entertaining but are helping my research starter snakes
Great video! I'm considering getting a snake in a year or so, but I would rather do research before getting one(plus I'm getting a hamster so, no). Your channel has been a great help though!
Love the penny idea! I had a lot of loose change around and tried this. I could NEVER get the bowls to not feel slimy or just gross, and now they are clean.
Thank you so much for the penny hack! I take care of three geckos at my school, and sometimes it can be really hard to keep the slime out of their bowls. I'd love to see more of this type of videos!
Thank you for the cleaning tips. I think I'm switching to Purigen for my betas tomorrow! I've been watching you for quite sometime now as a way to be a vicarious reptile owner. (My husband doesn't want them and I won't bring home a pet we don't agree on.) Thank you for sharing this all with us. p.s. I always play "spot the Pickle Rick!" it never fails to make me chuckle.
Love these kinds of videos! The more ya know.... Being a new snake mom, I feel nervous all the time and am constantly looking for ways to make sure he is happy, healthy, and safe!
Same what's his name oh 2 years ago... well how is he what kind of snake I got a lavender corn snake a week ago his name is Gizmo and he finally ate for me yesterday (previousley wasn't eating)
"Penny's kill viruses." Me: Then I don't need a mask or plastic suits! I need to eat Penny's and cover myself in them to stop myself from getting Corona! I know this isn't something to joke around about and I'm sorry for making a joke out of something serious but I kinda found it humorous. Sorry to anyone who has Corona.
Thank you for all your help and information. We have just purchased our first snake a Royal python and my son, 7, has named her Sophie. She is very sweet. But thank you again for the wealth of information you have given me and helped me to this point.
The purigen hack is a life saver, I watched your video on axolotls care before I got mine and I was able to save so much money (and start my tank sustainably) because of that!! Thank you guys!
Thank you so much for these tips. I just got my first snake today (Mexican black king)! Thank you for all the videos you do, they’re OHH so helpful. The rescue work you also do is very inspiring.
This was really useful because it makes my job as a soon to be reptile owner a lot easier. I was thinking of getting a pair of garter snake and I was wondering if you could make a video on how to set up and care for garter snakes? But anyways thanks for making this! This and your other instructional videos have prepped me for a scaley companion more than I can say! :)
See if she'll sit with you and watch some of these videos. I laughed hard at my son when he asked me a few years ago. Now I plan on having a few for myself.
Yeah, I remember Charlotte. You always make so much of a fuss about how much you love her, how could I forget? I knew before she said that it was Charlotte.
lol same here except hognose and ball python. I got a hognose about a month ago and my partner just brought home his new ball python last weekend. We got both from a lady who is downsizing her "collection" (I don't particularly like that word because they're living creatures, not like...stamps or pokemon cards). My hognose wasn't happy about the presence of cats, and the python didn't like being in the rack with the other pythons (who all seem perfectly happy in there, but miss thang was like "nuh uh! Get me out of here.") So we're trying to give them both living situations that they'll like better. So far, my little guy seems to be thriving. My guy's new little lady is doing a massive grump, though.
I live in the U.K. but whenever I visit a country I collect some coins from it as a souvenir, never have I been so happy to find a 1977 Cent coin from my trip to American a few years ago 😂
that penny hack was great info, Im from UK and here we have 1p and 2p which since 1992 those pennies are coated with copper. So anyone in the UK use your old 1p and 2ps. Ill soak mine in apple cider vinegar for a day or so rinse and then hot glue/silicone one in my snake water dish :)
I'm so glad for this channel because I want to have a reptile tank (not yet sure what kind as of yet, but we'll get there!) in my classroom. I've only ever had fish and mammals before, so these videos on proper care and tips/tricks for a healthy reptile are a blessing!
"Copper toxicity is a type of metal poisoning caused by an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus can occur from eating acidic foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware, or from exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources." That last part would make me nervous about doing it.
Copper isn't that dangerous in form of metal for animals. Shrimps and snails are really sensitive to copper cause of their blood. But simply by putting copper in water nothing will happend. You would need to put current through copper so it can ionize, to disolve enough copper to kill even shrimp. In low doses nothing should happend altough I wouldnt reccomend using copper bowls/tanks if you are keeping snails/shrimps/crabs.
Copper pipes are used to deliver water in a LARGE % of homes in North America. So by proxy you have already exposed them and I don't think there has been wide spread deaths reported of any creatures. However when you have stupid people run low Ph water thru lead pipes, AKA Flint, MI, well you know the out come of that.
Interesting "hacks" E & E. I know some people will freak out about the sulphuric acid but any solution in water that is < 6% will not harm you for short interval contact, you have more to worry about from those toilet bowl cleaners [Not recommended ]. At worst it will dry out your skin. Citric acid would also be another great choice for lime scale.
This was ahmazing!! I love this style of video! So helpful and life-changing!! I have a 180 gallon a 120 gal a 40 gallon and a 10 gal so those tips are ahmazing!!! Thaaankk youu moorree!!
Hi emily i really want a pet snake but cant get one becuase my mom says we have to feed it live mice and she does not want to see it but you can feed it frozen mice right?
Try to start with something small and calm, so long as your mother doesn't have ophidiophobia, a few good experience should convince her that her statement is silly(though no guarantees she will admit it). Also worth noting; if your place is large enough, dedicating a separate room to reptiles would make it very easy for her to visit without even seeing the snake, sometimes you might even see the enclosure and not realise there's a snake there, depending on the species and your specific snake. Hope this helps! PS. Based on what you said about how your mom said she "wouldn't visit" if you had one, I am presuming you don't live at home. If you live at home, getting any animal without your parents being ok with it is a bad idea.
Very useful. I liked it. Cool tricks like this are out there, just hard to find and slow to trickle out to the public - you guys blasted them out in a big way, thanks.
Purigin IS great but for those trying to save on cost and buy it in bulk, you ABSOLUTELY DO need a very fine mesh bag to contain it! The Purigen granules are very small. Enough to slip out of most generic aquarium media bags. Learn from my mistake people! Either buy it prepackaged like in the video or make absolutely sure your filter media bags are a fine grade mesh. Save yourself a lot of time, money and annoyance in the long run.
Is the PH trick safe for using in my crested gecko enclosure, the got the terrarium second hand and I spent quite a few days spanned over a month of trying to get hard water buildup off the inside with a 50/50 vinegar water solution and it worked okay, but id love to get it cleaner.
Sabrina Cozine it is perfectly safe, just remember to use a clean sponge with water to wipe off the cleaner once it has sat! I use it for my tanks that I buy used
Me: wants a corn snake that is 70 dollars Me: mom can I have 70 dollars for a snake? Mom: ok I’ll give you 70 dollars but not a penny more Me: ok Me: *watches video* Me: hey mom can I have a penny?
The pH downer trick is a lifesaver. I've been trying to scrub those spots off my snake tanks for a while with no luck, they disappear while wet but just come back every time it dries lol. I'll have to pick some of that up so I can see into my terrariums again
Would the copper harm the reptiles though? Especially if it's over a long period. I know you're not supposed to use it in aquariums because it can be harmful to fish.
Robin Jabroni That’s the other reason to continue swapping water. It will leach slowly into the water, a little won’t hurt, but a lot of copper in the water would.
Yes. Copper poisoning eventually over long term use could be a problem. I saw her put out a video today & she still does this. I really hope she realises it’s not a good idea in the long run.
Quite like this hack video which i hope you do more. This adds variety to the different videos you offer. You are learning something new here and helping improve animal life. I say it's a keeper.
I got my fist baby ball python today she is so sweet! Her name is Cali. She is on live and is going to eat on Friday but when should I swap her and how? Please help!
@@foxwoodjones9831 Most of our coins are nickel-plated, though we've also got some brass- and bronze-plated ones. Iirc those last ones are copper alloys, so do you think they'd work?
YES YES YES PLEASE GIVE US MORE HACKS...If you can/will, you could make it a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly (whichever one you want or can find enough hacks to accommodate for) series on your channel & I'd bet I'm not the only one who'd enjoy it lol
Feels bad man. I wouldn't push it too much, but snakes take very little room (like really, my barely 5 inch turtle takes up waaaay more room than a corn snake or a ball python would) and they are pretty cheap to care for. I understand your parents tho. Mine are the same way with me, lol.
I love your videos so much, my sister and I are planning to get a pet snake when we move out, but before we do that, we have been trying to learn as much as we can so we can properly take care of them, so I just wanted to say thank you for all of the things you are teaching us. (We have agreed to wait on getting the snake until we have a proper setup and understanding of what they would need)
Do you ever just sleep all day to finish that one good dream and then get up once your dream is over to tell your mom that you had a great dream??. Mom: what was your dream? Me: well it was about- 👁👄👁 erm- I. Don’t. Know. 0-0
These are some really terrific tips, Emily! Love the penny trick, I'll give that a try! These were all killer. See you in a few weeks! Thank for chiming in during our Livestream. It was nice seeing you there 😊

The man, the myth, the legend
“Put pennies in your reptile enclosures”
Me: ah yes my penny collection comes to use
I have 98 pennies that l could use on snakes
Sophia Istomin almost a dollar!
I collect pennies and have a world war 2 coin but I have a lot of old coins so guess my time has come
I just found a Canadian penny while going through my penny collection
maybe pennies aren't so USELESS after all
Do I own a reptile? No....
do I still watch all her videos religiously? Yes....

Same and one of these videos managed to convince my parents to let me get a mantis 😁
Wow, you're so pretty!
Omg me toooooooooooooooo but I’m hoping to get a woma Python soon

Meh oof
As a professional cleaner, can confirm these tricks _and_ I learned something awesome about pH down, or suphiric acid.
Ed: "Probably not one of our best ideas."
Emily: "But it looked cool right?"
That could describe 85% of the videos on UA-cam.

“Use a penny to clean your water dish” me: **laughs in canadian**
*canada has pennies. Idk if there copper tho. So I guess if you go to the us take a penny with you*
Chloe :3 Canada no longer uses pennies actually.
Sarah Skye
Ahhhh. Ok.
But were old Canadian pennies copper? If they're still able to be found then you could still use them
In recent news, pennies become scarce as Canadians rush across the border to purchase them. US mint unable to keep up with the demand.
i’ve watched so many of your videos to the point where i annoyed my parents with facts till they got me a snake. his name is charlie :)

*This is sulphuric acid, use gloves* --- Next shot --- **Emily not using gloves while using product.**
I like adding a little risk into my life 😂 (in all honesty I never wear gloves when using pH down. But for liability reasons I figured I'd suggest wearing gloves when using it)

Emily Emily please go comment on my comment
Such a cool video! I never in a million years would have guessed about the pennies. So awesome! 😊
Yeah it is an amazing trick
I absolutely love how Charlotte just kept reaching down to check out all the products, like "hm, yes, this IS a pennies, and these ARE a filter, good job hooman"
Emily : talking about snakes
The dump dinners book in the backround :
So the penny trick could be used for all animals water bowls technically to help keep down the “slime”
I wouldn't give it to dogs tho, my animal would be like "ooo snack" and eat that shit. Not to mention that one pet that ate rolls of coins
Pennies work well in small dishes but I use a copper pipe section in my Horse water trough.
If you put a penny in a dog's water bowl it might get swallowed 👎
As long as they make sure they are older pennies, dogs and cats can easily get zinc poisoning from post 1982 pennies, even just 1 penny can poison a cat or small dog.
Julie Reis what about breaded dragons could they easily swallow this?
#love this vid!!
I’m in hospital now for I got bit by an adder in Scotland.

Is copper toxicity a concern? It messes up the liver in affected animals.
I'm actually wondering the same thing
I’m concerned about this as well especially with small animals or amphibians. I definitely would not do this with frogs or toads.
"Copper toxicity is a type of metal poisoning caused by an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus can occur from eating acidic foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware, or from exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources."
That last part would make me nervous about doing it.
Copper isn't that dangerous in form of metal for animals. Shrimps and snails are really sensitive to copper cause of their blood. But simply by putting copper in water nothing will happend. You would need to put current through copper so it can ionize, to disolve enough copper to kill even shrimp. In low doses nothing should happend altough I wouldnt reccomend using copper bowls/tanks if you are keeping snails/shrimps/crabs.
Copper pipes are used to deliver water in a LARGE % of homes in North America. So by proxy you have already exposed them and I don't think there has been wide spread deaths reported of any creatures. However when you have stupid people run low Ph water thru lead pipes, AKA Flint, MI, well you know the out come of that.
Please make more videos on Tiger Salamaders and African Fat Tails! I'm really considering getting one of the two but I really need more information!
Hi love this channel!
This People Are too Clever....🤣😭🤣 Can't stop laughing...she is showing this stuff so that she can or may get sponsorship wahahahaha..... 💯 Proof
Interesting "hacks" E & E. I know some people will freak out about the sulphuric acid but any solution in water that is < 6% will not harm you for short interval contact, you have more to worry about from those toilet bowl cleaners [Not recommended ]. At worst it will dry out your skin. Citric acid would also be another great choice for lime scale.
This was ahmazing!! I love this style of video! So helpful and life-changing!! I have a 180 gallon a 120 gal a 40 gallon and a 10 gal so those tips are ahmazing!!! Thaaankk youu moorree!!
Hi emily i really want a pet snake but cant get one becuase my mom says we have to feed it live mice and she does not want to see it but you can feed it frozen mice right?
Yea you can! But does she just not wanna see dead mice either way?
yeah they can be fed frozen thawed mice
Yes you can feed frozen or live she has a video on wich one she would recommend
Ok thanks guys 0_o
i would recommend a corn snake, they are often friendly, normaly take frozen thawed and eat smaller meals as compared to a ball python.
Can you do another reptile myths video???! Love your vids!!! ❤️
i wish i could have a snake but my mom said she wouldn't visit me if i own one. i can't tell if she joking or not because she seems so serious.
I have the same problem. Thats why im waiting until I move out and propably move to an another country before I get my own snake
I feel your pain
My whole family said that now we have 3 and they all love them

Try to start with something small and calm, so long as your mother doesn't have ophidiophobia, a few good experience should convince her that her statement is silly(though no guarantees she will admit it). Also worth noting; if your place is large enough, dedicating a separate room to reptiles would make it very easy for her to visit without even seeing the snake, sometimes you might even see the enclosure and not realise there's a snake there, depending on the species and your specific snake. Hope this helps!
PS. Based on what you said about how your mom said she "wouldn't visit" if you had one, I am presuming you don't live at home. If you live at home, getting any animal without your parents being ok with it is a bad idea.
Very useful. I liked it. Cool tricks like this are out there, just hard to find and slow to trickle out to the public - you guys blasted them out in a big way, thanks.
Purigin IS great but for those trying to save on cost and buy it in bulk, you ABSOLUTELY DO need a very fine mesh bag to contain it! The Purigen granules are very small. Enough to slip out of most generic aquarium media bags. Learn from my mistake people! Either buy it prepackaged like in the video or make absolutely sure your filter media bags are a fine grade mesh. Save yourself a lot of time, money and annoyance in the long run.
Thank you very helpful!
Is the PH trick safe for using in my crested gecko enclosure, the got the terrarium second hand and I spent quite a few days spanned over a month of trying to get hard water buildup off the inside with a 50/50 vinegar water solution and it worked okay, but id love to get it cleaner.
Sabrina Cozine it is perfectly safe, just remember to use a clean sponge with water to wipe off the cleaner once it has sat! I use it for my tanks that I buy used
Me: wants a corn snake that is 70 dollars
Me: mom can I have 70 dollars for a snake?
Mom: ok I’ll give you 70 dollars but not a penny more
Me: ok
Me: *watches video*
Me: hey mom can I have a penny?
As you can see in my profile picture I have my 70 dollar corn snake now😛 I saved 65 and my mom paid for the rest his name is Hiss Pratt
LOVED all these tips/hacks. Please do more videos like this! I'm definitely doing the penny trick!
The pH downer trick is a lifesaver. I've been trying to scrub those spots off my snake tanks for a while with no luck, they disappear while wet but just come back every time it dries lol. I'll have to pick some of that up so I can see into my terrariums again
Purigen is awesome. There is German Text :D so i know i can buy it (most likely)
Ive been looking for the purigen packs!!!! Couldnt figure out what you used on the turtle/gator tanks.!!
Would the copper harm the reptiles though? Especially if it's over a long period. I know you're not supposed to use it in aquariums because it can be harmful to fish.
Robin Jabroni That’s the other reason to continue swapping water. It will leach slowly into the water, a little won’t hurt, but a lot of copper in the water would.
no
Yes. Copper poisoning eventually over long term use could be a problem. I saw her put out a video today & she still does this. I really hope she realises it’s not a good idea in the long run.
@@QWERTYOP80 Yea had the same thought when I saw this, sad tho because it's amazing
Quite like this hack video which i hope you do more. This adds variety to the different videos you offer. You are learning something new here and helping improve animal life. I say it's a keeper.
Those purigen filters sound amazing!
Woah, that’s a big Hognose.
I got my fist baby ball python today she is so sweet! Her name is Cali. She is on live and is going to eat on Friday but when should I swap her and how? Please help!
Charlie _ Camanche I would recommend switching as soon as possible.
just try it this Friday, if she doesn't take to it i recommend trying to feed her frozen-thawed every other week, slowly weaning her off.
You also can start with feeding freshly killed rodents first if you are comfortable with that.
undead sunflower thank you 😊
Makia Stegeman thank you! 😁
Me: "Wow pennies! I need to do that!"
Also me: Lives in a country with no pennies
Are any of your coins made of copper? Then it would be the same thing.
@@foxwoodjones9831 Most of our coins are nickel-plated, though we've also got some brass- and bronze-plated ones. Iirc those last ones are copper alloys, so do you think they'd work?
YES YES YES PLEASE GIVE US MORE HACKS...If you can/will, you could make it a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly (whichever one you want or can find enough hacks to accommodate for) series on your channel & I'd bet I'm not the only one who'd enjoy it lol
Love your videos always happy to see you posted new ones .. can help but notice the cooking book in the back “dump dinners” lol love it !!
Might I mention the “Dumb Dinners” in the background
It looks like "Dump Dinners", which is a style of cooking.
Dump Dinners..
Party with Emily and Ed
What if the reptile swallows the penny??? Is that even a possibility lol
That was what I was thinking 😂
its heavy and would sink i guess, so i don't think they would be able to.
00:47 Hisssstory
I would have never thought of this, and I've been looking for a solution to all of these problems, so, definitely using these!!
That penny trick is so cool! I only have 5 reptiles, so I can't imagine it'd be too hard to find a handful of old ones
Cae ABW yea, just looked through my “childhood” piggy bank and found like 20
What type of reptile do you have?
@@reptilerant173 I have 3 leopard geckos, one Western Hognose, and a new baby gargoyle Gecko!
That’s cool!
@@reptilerant173 yeah my Hognose lives to go to the bathroom directly into her water bowl so cleanings are very frequent lol
I want a snake so badly, my parents both are fine with snakes, but they just don’t want anymore animals in the house. So that’s sad :P
Feels bad man. I wouldn't push it too much, but snakes take very little room (like really, my barely 5 inch turtle takes up waaaay more room than a corn snake or a ball python would) and they are pretty cheap to care for. I understand your parents tho. Mine are the same way with me, lol.
Yey!! 😊☺️
I love this your cool how many snakes and reptiles do you have I want to know how many pets you have just asking
Thank you so much for this video!! The penny trick will be great for my snake and me!! Please make more!!
I love your videos so much, my sister and I are planning to get a pet snake when we move out, but before we do that, we have been trying to learn as much as we can so we can properly take care of them, so I just wanted to say thank you for all of the things you are teaching us. (We have agreed to wait on getting the snake until we have a proper setup and understanding of what they would need)
LiFe HaCkS where’s the hot glue and the box cutters?
Do you ever just sleep all day to finish that one good dream and then get up once your dream is over to tell your mom that you had a great dream??.
Mom: what was your dream?
Me: well it was about- 👁👄👁 erm- I. Don’t. Know. 0-0
