Baby Milksnakes Hatching!! (Then Escaping) 

This is the most chaotic egg hatching video. Didn’t think it could get more chaotic than looking for baby garters 😂

Emily saying "lol anyway" and just continuing the video with a snakelet attached to her thumb is incredibly on brand.

Imagine being a day old, knowing nothing but silent darkness, then suddenly… bombarded by a SCREAMING SQUEALING GIANT while explosions happen in the distance. I would bite too tbfh

This egg cutting video has it all, biting babies, a daring escape and rescue, absolute cuteness, Emily having grease paint on her face

Man. Favorite season is baby season.

Emily continuing cuttin' the eggs with a baby snake eating her alive is the most Snake Discovery thing ever. LMAO

Why does the fact they keep biting you make me want one even more? They're such adorable little brats! 🤣

I know the one milk snake was bitey from the beginning but my guess is the power drill vibrations probably freaked them out, considering feeling vibrations is a main sense for snakes and something like that would probably feel like a bird trying to get to them. At least they have good survivle instincts.

For the vents on the incubator, I'd recommend glue/taping some screen mesh over the holes. Keeps airflow and prevents escapes.

*Emily and Ed:* Man, I can't wait to hatch some easy going snakes! *The Milksnakes:* Hold my beer

I'm glad all the babies were ok after their incubator adventure.

When the baby bit Emily, that was so funny because she was just casually cutting the eggs while the baby was just on there

the way the baby milksnake was chomping on you while you cut open the other egg 😂 thank you for sharing these hatching videos every single year 💖

This is the most interesting hatching video by far🤣 I go from feeling happy to see the babies hatching to suspense mid-video and to laughing at Emily and Ed's adventure in recovering the lost babies. This video really made my day💖

Ed's such a trooper for this omg

Those little milksnakes are adorable forces of nature. Glad you managed to find them all!

Now I don't feel so bad about my 3yo milk snake escaping last month 😅 He also likes to yeet himself. I think it's just in their nature lol. This was absolutely entertaining!! I'm glad all the babies were ok after their little adventure. I would love to see more baby milk snake from you guys! Anyways, have a lovely day 🖤

Just in case someone hasn't written it already, the Vulcans are a community group in St. Paul based around the ending of the Winter Carnival and the coming of spring and summer. The Winter King Boreas who presides over the winter carnival (and wintertime in general) is ousted from his position by the king of fire Vulcanus Rex and his warriors, the Vulcans, who bring the heat of summer to melt all the snow away. It's a really old tradition from like 1916, although the winter king has been around since 1888. The two kings and their respective courts are locked in an eternal battle for dominance, causing the freezing cold winters and the hot and humid summers.

3:08 is the funniest part of this video because the baby bit Emily and she just kept on going

Respect to Ed for unscrewing everything

I love how Emily starts cutting with a snake attached, lmao!🐍

I think this clutch wins the award for 'Stinkers of the Year', between the chompiness and the escape attempts and musking. 😂Glad you found 'em all!

Emily having a snake bite her and being so fine and carrying on with the video is hilarious😂😊

Watching Emily trying to cut an egg well a baby snake latches onto her hand made my day 😂 Thank you, and sorry, losing the snakes was probably very stressful

Emily getting bit and just carrying on checking out the other eggs was HILARIOUS 🤣 I’m so glad you could find all the babies! 🙂

I know I say it every time, but I love that you don't shy away from the realities of your work as responsible breeders, be it babies that don't survive to hatch, hatch with severe spinal deformities, and the late nights, the hard graft. By showing everything you are giving a much more realistic perspective of what is involved, there are too many animal-based social media accounts who only show the fun stuff, and mislead people into thinking that animal care is easy, with no downsides - and then they go get an animal, find they can't handle the realities, and there becomes more and more need for rescue/rehoming orgs. So thank you, Emily and Ed, for being open and honest with your audience!

Love the colours of the milksnakes

I am so glad you found them

I love how Emily works with snakes all day every day but was still super excited to ditch the parade for new snake babes 💚🐍

Ngl when they fell out of the bar for the first time that scared the life out of me 😅

Ed’s pitch “did you lose your small snakes in an incubator because they somehow escaped? Have no fear because ed the incubator disassembler is here”😂😂😂

They tried to play the incubator like an escape room 😂 Edit: I'm glad you were able to find them even if poor Ed had to take the incubator apart.

Darting around the bin, biting, escaping, musking, truly these snakes were the naughtiest clutch on the channel.

I’m convinced milk baby just didn’t wanna deal with his crazy siblings and was just hiding

Been waiting to see where the V came from 🤣 got to enjoy the chaos 🤣🤣🤣

Advice: Fill in the top holes of the brackets with silicone so that doesn't happen again in the future. (silicone doesn't prevent them from coming apart in the future, so there's no harm in doing it). You could also install a mosquito screen behind the vents.

Im so glad you found the babies and that they were safe! I could hear the relief in Emily’s voice! Im glad that both of you are so passionate about snakes!

"she's been trying to eat us, it's so cute" This was hilarious

The milksnakes woke up and were like "WE CHOOSE *VIOLENCE*"

At the facility I worked at, milk snakes were almost always the escapees. Those little turds would find their way out of their bins through the teeniest gaps, then dissappear into thin air. Sometimes we would find them right away in random places near heat sources, other times we wouldn't find them until months later. While it wasn't a super common occurrence, it happened about 4 times in the 3 years I worked there, and I heard a story about a previous escape that resulted in the snake being found in the most bizarre location - inside a bin of cut greens for bearded dragon INSIDE THE REFRIGERATED ROOM. Everyone assumed it snuck into the bin while the greens were being chopped and added to the bin, and it was put away in the fridge without anyone knowing what had happened until a very chilly snake was found by the dragon care staff. Thankfully it recovered with no adverse effects.

What a wild ride this video was! I'm glad everyone was found safely~ Oh, and one last NOM for the road. 🐍

Ngl, I was crazy worried when the babies were missing. Thank god they were all found! Such a cuties but crazy little noddles.

I'm glad you were able to find all the escapees (and learnt how your incubator works). Also, I HAVE THAT TSHIRT TOO NOW! I love it! Super comfy and cute. 🐍

Baby milksnakes are snakes of many talents: escaping, chewing, biting, and pulling Houdinis by escaping 😂😂

My first snake was a pueblan milksnake and he was also an escape artist. I did learn how to stop him from getting out, and he grew up to become a very chill, awesome pet.

Ive been binging your snake baby videos like a good Netflix show lol. Love them alll

I don’t know what I love more. Freshly laid eggs or freshly hatched eggs.

I love that my baby Josephine is biting the crap out of you, Emily! I wondered if I'd done something or she really is that much of a spazz. She has tried to escape already, too!

Every time Emily asks, do we wanna dissect the egg? Just so you know, the answer is always YES. I will always want you to dissect the egg 😂

Me singing, “my milksnakes bring all the boys to the yard…”😂 Also, every time you said “milk carton” my immediate response was, “Dolly Parton.” I’m aging myself with both of those things. I think only children of the late 80’s will get the milk carton/Dolly Parton reference.

The first snake that I looked at was a milksnake. I was told by a few people, and also through my own research, that they're not good starter snakes because they're so fast. This video has just reinforced that. I'm so grateful I went with my BP instead of that adorable milksnake!

Ed is the MVP today, good job saving all those babies!!! If you know someone with a 3D printer, maybe you could get them to make some plugs for the incubator

Who knew milksnake hatchlings are such wee hooligans 😂 Today hasn't been a good day for me, but this video really made me laugh 🐍

II have been super sick these last few days and have binge watching you guys! You have been super inspirational and I love your content. Thanks!

This was such a fun video to watch, especially since I just got home yesterday from the hospital from having surgery so seeing all these cute baby milk snakes put a smile on my face! I love these types of snakes, they're so colorful and I even have a fidget toy snake that looks like a coral snake!

It completely blows my mind that they ALL crawled into those supports, lol. Well done finding them all happy and healthy!! Love the channel - you guys are a treat!

It’s always funny when they say the date in the video And it’s months back lol. Really shows just how much content they film and how much work goes into it. Still remember when they filmed in their snake room and kitchen at home. Sending love to snake discovery!!

Man!!! That one tiny little crack in the lid gave you guys a LOT of trouble. 😂😂😂

the little snakes bite looked so cute

Omg, I actually jumped when the babies first fell out! Hahaha! I really didn't expect them to be small enough to fit in there- tiny little noodles, ain't they?! Lol

The Bitey Babies definitely have a great feeding response! P. S. If you keep some please name one Houdini for the great escape they pulled off! 😂😂😂

Oh my goodness, i jumped when they fell out. Smart little guys.

how interesting this video has turned into...cute little feisty escape artist...so glad they were all found...LOVE LOVE LOVE

Good job Ed on taking apart the incubator AND remembering how to put it back together. And GG Emily, your Egg-xit pun really made me laugh😂. Also Always disect the eggs FOR SCIENCE!

Emily, in a happy and upbeat tone: "I just like to see what *caused* the death." She is wonderful

Aaaah!! As the original creator of the hatching bingo card, I squealed when you mentioned it!! 🥰 I'll have to bring you one when I meet you at Tinley! Love, Will & Wes.

My first and only snake is a pueblan milk snake I got off craigslist. I lost her 3 separate times in the first year 😮‍💨 so this video really hit home 😂

I've never seen Emily say "ow" before. 😂 That baby was real determined to eat her! And then Ed. Boy, this was a batch of troublemakers, huh? EDIT: OH MY GOD AN EEVEELUTION SNAKE SHIRT THAT'S BRILLIANT

These were the most hilarious babies I've ever seen, never seen a baby snake so determined to eat you. I think think these babies are convinced they're Coral Snakes instead of Milk Snakes 🤣

Of all things that could be on egg-hatching bingo cards, (spoken or no) checking eggs while a newborn snake hangs onto you by its teeth is definitely low on the expectation list XD

I discovered ya'll like yesterday, but your attitudes towards this type of thing is really quite charming. I love you guys already!!! ❤

Seem like some baby snake proofing is in order! Some screening glued to cover the vent holes while still allowing the vents to function and then tape or plug the tops of the rack supports. We all know that this will happen again!

The way you guys treat snake babies as your own babies is very heartwarming

I cannot imagine anything more stressful than loosing a clutch of baby snakes, so glad they’re all okay 🤣

You could get expanding foam to put on the top of the shelf supports, the kind that you put around windows in houses. It's an insulator, so it shouldn't have a problem with the higher temps. You can find it at any home improvement store.

I like the way that the baby milksnake was like nom nom nom at 2:48 so cute 🥰

I just love getting notifications about a snake discovery video and just completely stopping anything I’m doing to watch the video! It just makes my day!!❤

I love how Emily is like "SHes been trying to eat us its really cute!!"

I love the passion you both have! BABIES!

Recommending a camera to search the incubator so that you can detect movement out of the source, so you can spot what’s going on inside it.

One of the first things I found out when I first began to keep snakes, way back in the 1960's was snakes are super escape artists. One great thing about today is it is easy to find habitats that are mostly escape proof, but if you forget a latch or something, they are almost sure to find it. I had a six foot yellow rat snake that got loose and it was six months befor my mom found him between blankets, in a closet. Looked as good as befor the great escape and maybe even a bit plumper? Never saw a mouse in that house and were was he getting water? Oh, and a good thing for me, my mom had no problems with snakes, had even heightened my interests in them when she saw my interest in reptiles. Some of her best friends befor getting married were good friends with Bill Haas I think his name was, probably one of the most famous herpetologists in the world back then and helped me get my first boa. (Bellboa)

Emily just casually cutting eggs with a baby snake hanging off her hand 😂

Lol omg too funny when the baby latched on, and how chill you are about it ❤🐍🐍

So ferocious for baby milkshakes. Sweet bitey babies

I died every time Emily and Ed shouted “Ow ouch!” It felt relatable because I’m dealing with a red lab puppy and she is a biter!

This summer me and my family adopted a little baby corn snake which we named Ginger. She is an amazing eater and has taken five meals with us already. Thank you Emily and Ed for all of the amazing work you do!

The baby milk snake was casually trying to eat Emily while she cut open the other eggs.😂😂😂

All the snakes were so sassy 😂😂😂😂

I’m so glad all the babies are safe! I remember last year there was a baby that was never found, so the happy ending on these lost babies is most welcome. They’re such little stinkers!

The milksnakes falling into view JUMPSCARED so badly lmao

I have a milk snake right now and he is so beautiful!

that was chaos lol most wild hatching egg video so far lol. and the bitty babies.. so cute

Adorable and feisty AND really, really, really fast. First breath, first, second, third and fourth bites, etc. and complete escape artists. Name at least one Houdini and another one Bitey

They are ADORABLE!! I'm super glad they finally hatched, i was so excited for them! New member of the snake family, right? I'm ready for them to grow up and have more babies incoming!!!!!

This has to be one of my favourite videos ❤️❤️❤️ snakes forever!

Wow! It looked so cute when it was biting her hand.

I was waiting for this video, milksneks are some of my favorites! Their baby aggression was so surprising to me, but I guess it makes sense because they're certainly not camouflaged. I'm so glad you found the babies!

I definitely thought the escape would be less dramatic! So glad they were all found!

I love your videos too much especially the garden snakes, the baby ones when you have to dig around and find them those kind of videos on my favorite with the baby garter snakes

I used to rescue baby bull snakes (they are actually gopher snakes but colloquially everyone calls them bull snakes) and rattlesnakes from this cement pit near my dads house. The bull snake babies were the biteyest little shytes on the planet. Id grab them and theyd be like *bite*. And start chewing on me. And id be like hey! Im trying to rescue you from baking to death in a pit you cant get out of (it had stairs but they couldnt climb them). The tiny rattlers were always polite, didnt care about the bbq tongs I used to pick them up.
