    For anyone wondering, this is a great form of enrichment for animals, but not every animal will enjoy/tolerate it. I've done this with bears, skunks, beardies, snakes, raccoons, and a blue tongue skink. For the beardies, one was very patient and did really well, but the second one did not like it one bit so it was a lesson learned (it helps to use treats as motivation). It's just about knowing your animal's temperament and Snake Discovery definitely knew who this would work for and who wouldn't before proceeding. This is something a lot of zoos do with their animals as well (i.e. the penguin foot prints you can buy in gift shops and the Fiona the hippo kiss prints, etc.) The type of paint used is always (or at least should always be) non-toxic paint like the tempera linked in the description. You should always read the label and make sure it is listed as washable and non-toxic, especially when you're using it with animals that you won't immediately get to wash it off of or who might ingest it while grooming (like bears, in my experience). And for anyone wanting to try this out, I highly suggest trying out different methods. "Dunking" is good for some animals, but like what was shown in the video painting a thin layer onto an animal's feet works better for some. Alternatively, you can paint the canvas in a solid color (or multiple colors) thin layer, let it get tacky, and then have an animal walk across it or press their foot into it to get a print that way (this works well for larger animals). Using an animal as a stamp is another method too, especially for animals that don't necessarily want to move. You kind of have to figure it out as you go. My personal favorite way to do paintings is to use gold tempera on a black canvas (you can get them in most hobby stores for the same price as white canvases) or dipping an animal in a rainbow line of paint dots and letting them walk/slide across a canvas (this works well for animals who are close to the ground, like snakes or some lizards). A note to everyone as well, some animals will make bigger messes than others so always have a lot of newspaper or a quarantined off area to do this in. XD Oh, and since it is a washable paint, sealing it afterward with some kind of coat protection spray can help the painting last a long time.
    Hope that helps answer some questions.

      And animals with hands or trunks like using brushes! (Which you’d think wouldn’t include many pets, but apparently the exotic trade (at least in America) is alive and well. 😕) I have a lemur painting from the Duke lemur center; it was incredibly cute to see them just going at painting.

      @@toni-leerumsby8008 I'm assuming you're wondering what Song of Shadow meant. Sorry if you meant something else, but I'll give you a summary in case.
      Basically Rex is a rescue from a guy who kept Rex in a really small area and absolutely did not take care of her properly, which is why she has a lot of health issues such as an upturned snout.
      If Rex was not a rescue, Emily and Ed would never get an alligator as a "pet" because they're not supposed to be pets, but in this case she wouldn't be able to survive in the wild, so they're giving her the best life that is possible for her now. She even has her own room (ideally it would be all of nature but... yeah).

      Watching her get all excited for bath time when she was still living in a pool in Ed and Emily's basement is kinda cute, ngl. She was so chillax just getting scrubbed down with soap, getting her rinse, having Emily move her legs around. Emily is definitely a very important person to her, and while she may be an apex predator worthy of respect, she's also an intelligent animal capable of understanding empathy and the care that she is given.

Crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to snakes and lizards. When it comes to the branching of the tree of life, you can't make a grouping that includes snakes, lizards, and crocodilians (definitely things that most people would call reptiles!) that does not also include birds. Therefore, birds are reptiles. Most birds even have scaly feet!

    one time I left wet paint open in my room, and long story short I have green paw prints from my late dog all over (I have tile floor in my room). I put off cleaning it up for awhile, and then when we had to put him down I decided to just leave them (or at least the more defined ones). I'm probably going to clean up all the smudges, maybe outline the prints, and seal in the tiles so they don't fade when I clean the floor.
