Building a Zoo Exhibit for our Blue Tree Monitor! 

I really appreciate that they spend so much time accumulating footage for each video, and not just filming it in one take. Their dedication shows.

I know the video is suppose to be about the enclosure. But I can not get over how gorgeous that monitor lizard is. He's a living dinosaur, just...wow Of course the enclosure is amazing as well! You guys always create such wonderful naturalistic builds ♥

I can't believe how different the zoo looked without anything in it. Yall have come so far and worked so hard! You guys are worthy of everything. Thanks you so much for making the world a better place.

oh wow. Usually the camera mutes colors but that monitor is vibrant and absolutely gorgeous. That's so cool

If you haven't figured out the foraging food dish for one the glass, I'd love designing something! I make things with 3D printing and I know I've seen an Ender printer in some other videos, so I could either print it myself or send the file and you print it there!

Love seeing Rex in sploot mode. Edit: that tree monitor is gorgeous!

WOW it's so wild to just see the "before" that close to the finished product, you guys have come so far!

I think they should make episodes called the 'lost files' which would have bits and pieces of random footage they have laying around or they discovered again. A series called ' Little Monsters of Discovery' would be nice of footage of the animals getting up to mischief or trouble from any footage. Either from staff videos, guest videos or their videos. As long as someone catches the Discovery critters in the act.

Wow!! It’s so weird to see the zoo not done again! It just shows how amazingly done this entire facility was. I love you and Ed so much! I’m so happy to see how far you’ve gotten, and I wish all the best! ❤😊

Man, the support beam turned tree looks soooooo good! I can’t get over that, it looks amazing

This reminds me of the days when you were just starting the zoo, and I'd eagerly wait for new updates on how the construction was going. It really was a highlight in my life, and still is.

Having worked at a zoo, you will never be done improving, changing, remodeling, or expanding exhibits. It looks beautiful. One idea for a feeder would be to use a half a PVC pipe with caps at the ends. Sand painting or texturing the outside would make it look a little bit more natural, but having white on the inside would let people see what was being eaten and watch his tongue and claws going into the feeder. Keep up the great work!!

So lovely to see the "finished" version of it, I thought you guys had forgotten about it for a while but you proved me wrong, you had so many eggs/babies videos coming out that seemed never-ending this year so I can understand you holding back other things but I'm not complaining at all. Thanks for remembering and sharing even after so long! ~

These people care so much about there animals and are just overall great people!

It's so amazing to see you finish your wood, it has become such a trend to leave wood bare lately and we know of course the problems with rot and mold but not everyone does. Thank you for educating on more than animals today. Very cool enclosure, thank you for sharing!!!!

Y'all have worked so hard, come so far, but in this case it really does matter. Y'all deserve everything y'all have earned. Including the good will of your fans that just want to share their love and joy with you. Much love to you both and your families, human, scaley, and feathered 💖

I hope one day I can visit the Snake Discovery Zoo! It is so beautiful

I love seeing the thought process. And I love how you were able to alter the intended recipient of the home a few months in and still make it suitable! He looks SO happy and content in his new place. Genuinely gorgeous boy. I may need to look more into these guys.

That’s amazing! I’m really happy for y’all and ALL the progress you guys have been doing for the Zoo! It’s expanding and adapting to all the new animals for adoption and the rescues into great health. ❤ it warms my heart everyday to watch your channel and rewatch some nostalgia videos again.

You guys should film a video where you guys give Christmas gifts to your animals that are not talked about much do that we can give them love too (love to all you animals have a good Christmas snake discovery)

What a nice video! I just love how much hard work you guys put in this project!

Love the content has been awesome to see your evolution from your starting out to this incredible labour of love u should be so proud of! I have learned so much from u (and its ure fault I have a conda morph hog) thank you for everything ❤

It's so great to see how far you guys have come! From egg videos in your house to building enclosures in your ZOO. I really love your content, please never stop! ♥♥🐍

haven’t even really started the video, but I can’t wait!

Hi Emily! I just want to say that your channel has taught me so much about reptiles and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome to the tree monitor world! As I was watching I was saying in my head he needed more climbing stuff and plants stuff to hide in and some nice size cork rounds, so happy to see you guys are planning that already.

I love how that turned out! I love seeing your passion for all of these different reptiles. Cable is a great name for him!

There’s so much dedication in all of your videos. Thank you so much and happy holidays!!!

Yay…..an enclosure build, my favourite kind of video 🎉🎉🤩 Thank you 😊

Cable seems like a menace and it’s great. He has a spunky personality that I bet makes him and Rex one of the coolest corners of the zoo to visit

My favorite part of keeping animals ( other then having the animals lol) is building amazing enclosures and watching them explore and forage. It's the closest thing we get from them that is appreciation and it's awsome seeing them happy and not bored. It's why we have animals, to make them have wonderful lives the best way we can. Great video .

I love your channel ever since I was a kid and congratulations of the zoo!

time travel lol i love this channel! they are amazing!

The monitor is stunning. Where did the monkey tails end up? Great enclosure

Such a cool critter! And that is a great home for him. Great work!!!

I love the blue colors! It has such a unique tongue that reminds me of an anteater!

First you guys are awesome I have been watching since 2020 and you guys have inspired me to get reptiles and I am loving it!

I loved seeing the transformation, also I think Azur would be an awesome name.

I love how much care you put into both the enclosures and the zoo itself. You can really tell the animals are happy and in good hands :D

Bluey would be a good name all the way from Australia ❤

The support beam disguise looks really good and gives real forest vibes. Great solution!

This video fast forwarded through all the transformations, MOST of the video was lost. I love nearly all your content and this just, well I was so excited and stayed up to watch it only to feel like I learned/experienced no voyage or journeys worth of information. You didn't even discuss why you decided it was better for Cable than skinks which I didn't know previously I was interested in. Then you gave a long lesson on skinks, I get invested, next thing I know skinks are out and Cable is in sans an explanation or lesson on him personally. Isn't he going to be lonely all by himself? So many questions unanswered, so many processes blatantly skipped over but worst of all I still haven't seen an enclosure build in the zoo from beginning to end more completely than Rex's, and Rex didn't even get her own elaborate video for such.

I love your videos and hope you have an amazing Christmas

wow he looks absolutely amazing in that enclosure!! his color is beautiful.

Such an amazing enclosure! It would have been cool if you guys mentioned the reason you decided to go with a blue tree monitor over the monkey-tailed skinks, just because I'm a curious person and I like knowing those kinds of things.

Hey You guys make me feel soooo much better and I just got the worst news of my life.💗

What a beautiful enclosure for a beautiful lizard!! Also I cannot get over how cute that curly tail is omg

love these vids, highlight of my day x

All I can see right now is the love and respect these people have for their babies.

What happened to the Monitor that you rescued a while back, the one that had been abandoned in an apartment with no heat? His name was Grover I believe. That Blue Tree Monitor is heckin pretty. Great enclosure!

I love this channel!!!!! I learn something new every day. I try to keep up on all there posts. They tell us everything. And post all the time. You guys are the best and have a place in my heart.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Wow!!! Cable is gorgeous

I already love him!! I love his super long tail, it never ends! 😂 And, sometimes, it's curly! I can't... It's too cute! His enclosure looks awesome, Emily!! And Cable seems to enjoy it! 😄

Monkey tails are one of my dream in the future reptiles 😍

Wow, they’re so beautiful! 😍🦎

I love your videos so much!!

Thank you for sharing everything and anything that you do! Your channel is a pure good example of hard work and making dreams come true! Beautiful work on that exhibit and everything that you do! I love hearing the crickets! Reminds me of growing up out in the bush how peaceful, calm and quiet wonderful kind of noisy crickets at night 🥰

Beautiful enclosure & really good size for your blue tail monitor... Awesome video guys ❤️

Love you videos! So entertaining and fun to watch, and you even inspire and help me learn for my wishes. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE Blue Tree Monitors!!!!!! They are my absolute favorite I'm so glad you guys have one!!! I love how their neck moves its just like a little dragon!

Thank you for everything! I’m coming to the zoo soon! Super excited!

It was so cool to see enclosure being built up thank you Emily and Ed.

love the vids sooo much I cant miss one video

Rex looks so well!

I love your videos so much and i thank you for teaching me to love snakes and now after years of watching your chanel i have my own snake (derp) and i thank you for it because i would have never wanted a snake before i found your chanel!

I love your videos and you guys are actually the ones that made me want to get a Lazard or a snake or even both!

i love this videos

I was fully distracted from the enclosure when the monitor came out. That dude's tail is like 2/3 of his total length! It's twice the length of his body! Cable is absolutely gorgeous, a handsome man, but that tail length stunned me! XD

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT Blue is a good name 💙

Woooo So Excited!

Did I miss the reason you didn’t use the exhibit for the monkey tails? Just curious 😊 It looks amazing and cable is gorgeous ❤

even though i watched each video many times i still was surprised to see how the zoo looked before it was done! I am so pleased with how it turned out.

With everything you got going on. I see you expanding into all of the outdoor room to the left as you walk in the entrance doors.

Wow I love it

Omg I am such a big fan I love your videos!

I have been waiting so long for this video and I am so hype!

Amazing!

I love the enclosure and Rex looks so cute

We enjoy anything y’all do!

Beautiful monitor hope someday have a pair.

That came out so amazing I love it

What a handsome boy! I love the blue tree monitors! Sabzi and Basil say hello!

Hi! Hi! HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS!!

What happened to the Nile / water monitor you took in a couple years ago. Did it get rehomed? Glad you finally got the blue tree monitor.

That was really enjoyable to watch! Thank you for the tour! I know so much more about reptiles now from watching all of your videos - I didn't even know these particular lizards existed before today, so hey! That counts for something! :D

The enclosure looks awesome 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️Love it

He is stunning

WOW! That looks AMAZING! He is going to definitely liver it. Idk if h guys have a name for him but I just had an idea? It is Kyanite. That is the name of a blue rock and I thought that that was pretty cool.

I missed the zoo reno videos beacause of how much the project mesnt to them and i like seeing it again

Omg the building was so bare and empty in the first video great reminder how far its come

LOVE!

I haven't watched the full video so correct me if I am wrong but there are a few basic things that appear missing from this enclosure. Just one heat bulb that seems to be just pointed into an open area. Varanids need a bank of bulbs that will heat their entire SVL, those bulbs ideally including at least a halogen or DHP giving off that short wavelength of infra red spectrum that heats through the monitor. The uvb bulbs should also be placed along this basking zone at the optimal height for the correct reading. UV level and surface temps of basking zones are very important. There should be at least one hide box in there , ideally the viv should be full of cork tubes, having nowhere to hide will stress that monitor out as unfortunately not all visitors to a zoo obey the no banging on glass rules aswell as him not being able to get out of the line of sight of all those people. you even say he is a rehome and not friendly he defecates on you showing this, varanids get mega stressed and it will kill them if not helped. Deep humid nest boxes are extremely important for not just females but also males to aid proper shedding and also thermoregulation through heated substrate. In my opinion it is clear you have not done the correct research on this species before showing off poor husbandry to almost 3 million people. Im not trying to 'bash' the channel just would be awesome if you sorted these issues and set the example for correct husbandry to all of your subscribers and zoo visitors

the blue pops so well against the grey background

It looks so good ❤❤❤

I was really hoping to see how they made the support pillar into a tree 😅 it looks really great though! I hope they revisit the idea of a hollow log to fill with bugs, I think that would be enriching for the monitor and so fun and unique for zoo-visitors to watch

Such dedication!

Hello Love your videos❤🎉

He is SO cool!! I might have a new favorite.

Such an amazing and beautiful creature! Nice enclosure too. Would love to learn more about them and see some foraging. :)

I love the enclosure it lookedlike he or she loved it too and a name sugestion is blueberry.😀
