It always amazes me that Rex never even seems to try and bite either one of you. The most you get is her thrashing but she goes away from you rather than biting and that is incredible and speaks to how much she trusts you.
It probably helps that they're not food-sized and that they can read reptile body language. It would probably not be safe to have a toddler/cat/small dog in the same house as an alligator, even one whose growth is stunted to adolescent size like Rex!
Rex being so clever that she immediately figured out the ramp, and then promptly falling off the back of it is the most on-brand thing I’ve seen her do.
Emily Ask @Jayprehistoricpets on Instagram where he gets his glass from he has many alligators in a mini zoo like the one you guys are planning to build he might tell you :D
I love this, because it shows that Alligators aren't evil killing machines. She lets you touch her, clean her, and change up her room without trying to hurt you. The only time she even got aggressive was when the door touched her tail suddenly (which, instinctively, she took as an attempt to eat her), and she aborted the move when she realized it was an accident. How cool is that??
@@Beeteljuice37imo, that's a lot like a cat. Don't get me wrong, lot worse consequences you mess up with the alligator. But it seems like both he expected her movement, and she wasn't TRYING to hurt Ed. They've got crazy reflexes, and she disapproved lol.
the fact you guys rescued this alligator, changed your whole lives for her and then built an entire building to house her where she'd be happiest is really amazing. i adore you guys.
Emily Ask @Jayprehistoricpets on Instagram where he gets his glass from he has many alligators in a mini zoo like the one you guys are planning to build he might tell you :D
Yeah the whole zoo is the thing that amazes me. Like plenty of ppl would've just kept her in the guest room and been like "well it's Minnesota, can't give her like a big outdoor enclosure".
Emily comes walking into to the room with Rex and he’s hissing. Lol. Yet I love how they both talk to Rex like it’s their child or a pet in general it’s so sweet.
Their video "spying" on Rex is so cute, I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, but something they said almost made me cry - alligators have a fancy transparent membrane in their eye they close so they can protect their eyes underwater but still see. When they first gave Rex access to a pool, she didn't know how to use the membrane, because she had never been in water before. She would just close her normal eyelids and barrel around the bottom of the water, knocking into things because she couldn't see. She has learned how to use the membrane since, but it just made me sad to imagine a creature so deprived of the things that should be second nature to her.
My cat always comes over when I watch Snake Discovery videos, because Emily uses the same tone and inflection to say "good girl" that I use when talking to her.
Same I stopped watching it because I changed my account and forgot about the channel but suddenly it came in my recommendation and now I’m back in the channel
I believe this was first snake discovery video that randomly jumped onto my screen. Started to look it just because it was kind of absurd. This couple is keeping an alligator in basement and giving it scrubbing baths. What the heck, weird. Now of course I'm totally hooked to the channel and love Rex and everything to bits!
Love your channel! It's educational & entertaining. Rex's condition is so sad, but I'm so glad she's getting the care she deserves and living a great life now.
I feel like they are really gonna miss her when she’s at their facility instead of in their home. Even though they will probably see her every day, I’m sure it’s gonna take some time getting used to her not being in the basement.
21:10 Rex: "You wanna know how I got these scars?"(Joker's voice) Emily: We know you aren't that vicious Rex Ed: yeah no you can't really do anything xD I feel bad for Rex she just trynna show you how crazy she can be
This was the first vid I ever saw of Emily and Ed, been completely hooked ever since. Watch the channel almost daily now. Rewarching my faves, and catching up on old content, etc.
MY FAVORITE IS WHEN EMILY IS LIKE TALKING ON AND ON ABOUT SOMETHING *NOT IN A BAD WAY* AND THERE'S SOME ANIMAL IN THE BACKGROUND GOING NUTS, LIKE MY FAVORITE WAS WHEN THE SNAKE SLITHERED UP TO THE DOOR KNOB AND THEN WENT EVEN FURTHER AND THE CAPTION WAS LIKE "HOOMAN HELP!" LOLOLOL
Thank you for taking the time to show how labor-intensive having an alligator is! Too many people try to keep them as pets because they are small and adorable as babies (and the adults are cute, too), but they do _not_ make good pets or are practical to keep. I cackled when she went up the ramp only to immediately fall into that corner. At least she was able to get herself out of there!
I especially love the many times in videos that Emily has mentioned she does not advocate for them as pets and that with Rex's disabilities due to her earlier life, she cannot be rehabilitated to return to the wild. Truly, alligators should be seen only as rescues to be cared for by those with wildlife rehabilitation training.
I would love to own a crocodilian, mainly an alligator because they seem to have the best temperament of the bunch, but only if I was rich enough to build it the enclosure it deserves, and only if it’s a rescue. I don’t understand why average people would keep them as pets 😂 like that’s my if I win the lottery goal not next pay check
As someone just discovering Snake Discovery, I am intrigued to know more about Rex's back story. So grateful that she is now with Ed and Emily as she is definitely living the best she can with whatever she has been through.
There's a Rex playlist and recent Rex birthday vid if you've not seen. The tl;dr is she was brought as a hatchling to the former owner's house in I think the 80s. He loved Rex, but didn't know how to take care of her. Emily got a job helping with his other pets and just omg there's an alligator and she's how old and she's fed how much? (But much more tactfully put I think). Emily tried to get her into a bigger space and eventually dude just asked if they wanted her. Right after they got married and bought a house. Imagine discussing adopting a pint sized alligator with your spouse right after you got married.
Alligators are FAR more chill than crocodiles. They still don't make good pets...mostly for the reasons you'll see on this channel...they're big, they make a mess, and they don't exactly eat pet food. Rex is actually undersized for her age
I've seen that mascot like 20 years ago but i can't remember where, I live in Norway...Think your school got their mascot by searching cartoon alligator or something on google lmao. edit: It's literally the first thing that shows up when you search cartoon alligator.
I love how they say " Rex has plenty of room right now in this pool..." but they continue to say "... but we want her to have as much room as possible." They aren't the kind of people to only do the minimum they have to for their animals, but do as much as possible for them. Emily, Ed youll probably never see this but I want you to know you are both amazing people. Thanks for sharing this with us all.
@@lottepepplinkhuizen9220 Because the bigger snakes still didn't have much room. I don't dislike them, but it still bothers me that the pythons and boas don't (Or did not, I've missed a few episodes) are just in big bins with no real room to do anything. It's insanely hard to find someone who does get them an actual enclosure. I see they're getting a facility and that's great!
@@frostdragon64 I don't know if Emily and Ed are breeding their larger snakes or not, but it's common for breeders to keep their animals in bins in order to maximize the space available for their animals.
@@Riceball01 I don't think they are, I think the Gopher Snakes are the largest they're breeding. Bins can be perfect for certain animals, but not all. Your snakes that can get over 10ft do not belong in any sort of bins, especially snakes proven that they do enjoy climbing and such. Like I said, I see they are getting a new facility and I really hope this means most if not all of the snakes are out of bins. I do not dislike bins (My geckos (Crestie/Gargoyle are in bins because my house has very low humidity and they were having shedding issues, even with daily spritzing), but it is sad to see snakes in plain jane bins with just bedding and hide with no sort of enrichment. We're finally telling people that Ball pythons do not belong in bins, so I think it's time to stick up for the even bigger snakes. Yes, the snake being able to stretch out is fine, but please also give them room to climb if so.
@@HerrConner627 right, not against the slash, all for it, find it hysterical, especially since I'm trans 🤣 but um, im kinda lost on how it pertains to the Friends joke. Fill the gap for me, mate?
Have you checked with some zoo's were they get their glass for enclosures? They put hippo's and polar bears behind glass (might be acrylic) so there must be something for an aligator.
i cant exlain how this video made me feel. i started watching in 2019, and absolutely just fell head first into your content during quarantine. seeing your old video's where ed is self-conscious about being on camera, compared to NOW, where he makes 'stud' jokes, JUSTIFIABLY SO. i cant explain it but. its a certain type of joy, knowing that we've been giving this trust with someone who DIDNT offer himself to youtube the way emily did. its truly special to me. and then going back and seeing JUST HOW SMALL EMILY STARTED, to a freaking FACILITY. i still remember when you were overjoyed at getting extra racks for your house around 2019-2020 because you were running out of space, and here you are with your OWN BUILDING. its just... so cool.
It’s really amazing to see the thorough cleaning and attention to every tiny detail in order to keep the animals safe. So many people treat these animals like money bags, and this is so reassuring to see.
That jollyball has been such a reliable toy of Rex's... Can't believe it's been so long since they picked it out. ; _ ; Also this interaction was soooo funny: "Your camera is submergable" "Don't do it!" "Hear we gooooo *gurgling noises*" Hahaha. Congrats on Chloe being the first one to move in to the facility officially!
i’ve been trying to get one for my dog bc she chews through literally everything (she likes to destroy, she’ll hold it under her paws and rip at stuff) and i figured if it can withstand an alligator is can probably withstand a dog, but we shall see
@@sentimentalworm I need one too! I bought one of those Tuff dog toys, designed to withstand strong chewers, and my dog had it torn open within five minutes. She's a Springer/Collie, not even a dog with huge jaws like a pitty or a Shepherd! I need gator proof toys!
Moms: "look at your hands they're so cute" to their kids People overhearing Emily talking to Rex: "look at those little hands they're so cute!" People: "oh Emily has a kid" Emily: scrubbing Rex's hands People: "oh nevermind I forgot I was talking about Emily"
So Rex is basically Ed and Emily's baby. Side note: "she's smart enough to figure the ramp out" -Ed *Rex gets head lodged under ramp, then falls under ramp*
I just stumbled upon this channel, realizing that Emily is wearing A UofM shirt. So I decided to see where she was from, only to find out that their store is literally right down the road from where I live, and opens back up in April. Can't wait to check it out! :)
Lmao I’m Canadian and and I thought by UofM you ment University of Manitoba and I was so confused as to why she went to school in Canada of all places not to mention Manitoba until I realized that Minnesota also starts with an M and to them the UofM stands for something different 💀
Rex is 34 years old!? I know her stunted size definitely throws off the age guess, but I wouldve never thought she was THAT old!!! I thought she was in her 20s!!
@@astroedits4874 now they weren’t abusive Emily says that but they just didn’t research alligators and weren’t responsible enough to keep one, pretty much in conclusion “alligators are not good pets” 🙂
Rex really lucked out finding her home with you both..I'm so glad she is so loved and taken amazing care of after so many years of not great care..she deserves you two❣️❣️
Lol love her expressions! Scrub scrub scrub... Rex: “Bluh...” “Maybe we should get her a treat!” Gator head appears from pool: “Treat? Yes. Give treats! Rexy good girl!”
“Rex will only be in here for 2-3 months” they JUST had they’re grand opening a about a week ago and Rex barely made it in. 7 months later. Good investment getting that pool 👌 ya needed it.

Great idea.

It always amazes me that Rex never even seems to try and bite either one of you. The most you get is her thrashing but she goes away from you rather than biting and that is incredible and speaks to how much she trusts you.
Also speaks to how well they watch her body language. Such great mutual respect.
It probably helps that they're not food-sized and that they can read reptile body language. It would probably not be safe to have a toddler/cat/small dog in the same house as an alligator, even one whose growth is stunted to adolescent size like Rex!
Alligators tend to shy from people rather than lunge at them, but you can never be too careful with the really big ones.

Yes, the snake being able to stretch out is fine, but please also give them room to climb if so.
The fact that Rex can climb stairs, which means other crocodilians might be able to, should scare me. But I just find this so adorable.
As a Floridian, they can climb fences too.
@@zephyr2130 okay now that's terrifying
Emily: don't go behind there
Rex: ooo this looks like a nice spot - flop-
i died at that
And there goes the gator
TBH seeing Rex face-planting behing her pool is the funniest thing I've seen in a while 😅
what has covid done to us😅
I love the sign on Rex's door!
Shenanigator:
n. an alligator that instigates shenanigans
" how do we turn it?"
Every Friends fan ever: PIVOT!!!
Lmao
Yes! A good show with good memories attached to it.
@@HerrConner627 right, not against the slash, all for it, find it hysterical, especially since I'm trans 🤣 but um, im kinda lost on how it pertains to the Friends joke. Fill the gap for me, mate?
Lol yes
@@musicamatters89 it’s meant to be a hate comment towards all the straight people.🙄
Rex grumpily climbing the stairs and Emily just cheering her on with her happy kinda baby voice makes me really happy
Have you checked with some zoo's were they get their glass for enclosures? They put hippo's and polar bears behind glass (might be acrylic) so there must be something for an aligator.
Omg I love rex, she looks so constantly happy.
Shes just like
Happy birth day rex
How the hell did you do that emoji
@@bruh-dv9mm i forget it’s one of the youtube comands like [awesome] or something ill
see if i can figure it out
@@bruh-dv9mm :awesome:
[awesome]
i cant exlain how this video made me feel. i started watching in 2019, and absolutely just fell head first into your content during quarantine. seeing your old video's where ed is self-conscious about being on camera, compared to NOW, where he makes 'stud' jokes, JUSTIFIABLY SO. i cant explain it but. its a certain type of joy, knowing that we've been giving this trust with someone who DIDNT offer himself to youtube the way emily did. its truly special to me.
and then going back and seeing JUST HOW SMALL EMILY STARTED, to a freaking FACILITY. i still remember when you were overjoyed at getting extra racks for your house around 2019-2020 because you were running out of space, and here you are with your OWN BUILDING. its just... so cool.
Emily: she'll realize its no fun to go under the ramp
Rex: yeah right mom
Rex: *needs glass*
Glass Companies: And I took that personally.
JEJDMDMDJXNXN
@@Snake-be2rd yes
Yup
@@Snake-be2rd right. I wonder if the company that makes all the decor they got know a “zoo glass” seller or something
Yup
It’s really amazing to see the thorough cleaning and attention to every tiny detail in order to keep the animals safe. So many people treat these animals like money bags, and this is so reassuring to see.
Loved the 'Rex' POV Ed provided, if you could attach a go pro to her head so ew could see he world from her perspective that would be cool
You* her* :)
Well, wish granted. They did just that for her birthday this year
Why was Rex going up the stairs the most adorable thing?? 🤣🤣
Why wouldn't it be?
Fu
Fu...fully..funny
Don't know 😍😊
“Because she may break it” Pfft what no, Rex? She could never...
Rex: *has blood all over her mouth*
Emily and Ed: Aww she has lipstick on
But she does , awwww
XD
@Jacqueline Haley it's from the food they gave her, she is okay^^
@Jacqueline Haley im pretty sure it's blood from her food since they feed her raw meat
@Jacqueline Haley just finished the video lol i am now sure that it's from food
I love reptiles
Never in my life did I think that I needed to watch an alligator obediently walk up stairs but Im not complaining
6:29 Rex is like "FINE, I'll go upstairs. But I'm going to complaint about it the whole time"
That jollyball has been such a reliable toy of Rex's... Can't believe it's been so long since they picked it out. ; _ ;
Also this interaction was soooo funny:
"Your camera is submergable"
"Don't do it!"
"Hear we gooooo *gurgling noises*"
Hahaha. Congrats on Chloe being the first one to move in to the facility officially!
Lol
lol so true
i’ve been trying to get one for my dog bc she chews through literally everything (she likes to destroy, she’ll hold it under her paws and rip at stuff) and i figured if it can withstand an alligator is can probably withstand a dog, but we shall see
@@sentimentalworm Well dogs are a lot crazier than alligators and a lot more active for most breeds. So..
@@sentimentalworm I need one too! I bought one of those Tuff dog toys, designed to withstand strong chewers, and my dog had it torn open within five minutes. She's a Springer/Collie, not even a dog with huge jaws like a pitty or a Shepherd! I need gator proof toys!
Normal pet owners: '' let's go bathe our dog''
snake Discovery: '' let's go Bathe alligator''
This is stolen. Just wanna state that.
@@keoni3052 what was stolen?
I’m pretty share the comment you did
Bleeeeeh sorry I can’t spell / talk today
@@keoni3052 99
Just think, 2 years later they both have MASSIVE enclosures at the zoo😂 The amount of progress you two make is amazing X
Moms: "look at your hands they're so cute" to their kids
People overhearing Emily talking to Rex: "look at those little hands they're so cute!"
People: "oh Emily has a kid"
Emily: scrubbing Rex's hands
People: "oh nevermind I forgot I was talking about Emily"
That’s how I am with my chickens!
@@tessabunge7621 same with my bearded dragon 😂
@@ellie_lewis09 that's how I am with my gecko to 😂
A kid that is older than her...!
So Rex is basically Ed and Emily's baby.
Side note: "she's smart enough to figure the ramp out" -Ed
*Rex gets head lodged under ramp, then falls under ramp*
Ed: *Realizes*
Ed: your camera is submersible 😏
Camera: *moving down slowly*
Emily: Nooo-
Camera: *water noises*
Chloe: 🧐🤔
I love the noise when they were scrubbing down Rex🥰😍
They should make an “Alligator Bath ASMR” video 😂 the sounds of her scales being scrubbed is so satisfying!
You should reach out to the RAD Zoo or NERD to see who did the glass for some of their big enclosures
ya!!!! like so emily and ed can see it!!!!!
I just stumbled upon this channel, realizing that Emily is wearing A UofM shirt. So I decided to see where she was from, only to find out that their store is literally right down the road from where I live, and opens back up in April. Can't wait to check it out! :)
Where's she from so I can go there cuz I really want to
Florida?
@@bobpleasebulid Minnesota!
Lmao I’m Canadian and and I thought by UofM you ment University of Manitoba and I was so confused as to why she went to school in Canada of all places not to mention Manitoba until I realized that Minnesota also starts with an M and to them the UofM stands for something different 💀
Luckyyyyyy I'm an whole continent away 😫
Rex grew so much since the what it’s like to have a pet alligator video. I just watched them back to back and it’s a big difference!
Rex is 34 years old!? I know her stunted size definitely throws off the age guess, but I wouldve never thought she was THAT old!!! I thought she was in her 20s!!
I know right!?! She’s a little over double my age! Crazy!
He growth was stunned from a past abusive home
@@astroedits4874 They know that :)
She spent around 25 or more years in,a 4 ft box, pour baby. She deserves to be spoiled in her golden years
@@astroedits4874 now they weren’t abusive Emily says that but they just didn’t research alligators and weren’t responsible enough to keep one, pretty much in conclusion “alligators are not good pets” 🙂
She won't break this pool.
Rex: "hold my pool toys."
Hahah I'm daed boy🤣😂
Omg yessss
Wow Princess Celestia how did you get here.
Rex really lucked out finding her home with you both..I'm so glad she is so loved and taken amazing care of after so many years of not great care..she deserves you two❣️❣️
The smile on Rex’s face when you scrubbed her back. Adorable
1 half of my brain: You can't pet Rex, she's an alligator.
The other half of my brain: He Ho scaly pupper.
Ikr ur like 1 half of ur brain is like " scary alligator dont touch " but the other side of ur brain is like " so cute love her I want to pet her "
@@gregwallen9383 as a floridian there is no half of brain scared of rex
Brooke Dumboski “truest” is not a word
@@RemyVRgt This is the internet, perfect grammar isn't required so long as you can understand what they're trying to get across.
@@RemyVRgt also it is a real word
What about bulletproof glass company? Rex going upstairs was absolutely adorable!
Lol love her expressions!
Scrub scrub scrub... Rex: “Bluh...”
“Maybe we should get her a treat!”
Gator head appears from pool: “Treat? Yes. Give treats! Rexy good girl!”
Rex: Now thanks for the treats but pool must be destructed
She needs to do a commercial for Method dish soap" Method: Works on grease, tough set in stains and swamp grime".
“Woah... Ed knows how to sweep!”
“Duly noted.”
"Oh, your camera is submersible!"
"No, no, no, n-"
*glug glug glug glug*
i want to know what camera it was, haha

Imagine being one of their friends and walking in and seeing an alligator walking on The stairs where are you
Genius level

“Rex will only be in here for 2-3 months” they JUST had they’re grand opening a about a week ago and Rex barely made it in. 7 months later. Good investment getting that pool 👌 ya needed it.
