Hatching the Smallest Hognoses of the Year! 

I mean... At least they didn't accidentally switch a female and a male... That would be way more unproductive

@@stoverthestovetop yea

🤣🤣🤣

Welp

@@Mimic_Sage_Carefully beautiful contribution to this completely intellectual conversation. We all appreciate you.❤️

Or breakfast items...since waffles and flapjacks are usually breakfast items. Candy would be really cute though....

I was thinking U.S. breakfast items, since they're dessert anyway 🤣

@@MrsKittySparrow we aren't the ones with frosting on toast lol. Also most Americans don't even eat breakfast... it's definitely not dessert

@@victoryscreeech idk the chocolate covered pancakes I ate kinda seem like a breakfast and dessert item

@@Sliberry I could see that, but no one is having chocolate covered pancakes for breakfast unless you go to a kitschy diner or a kid's center like a chuck e cheese. People don't regularly eat that stuff. Our breakfast is eggs, bagels, waffles, pancakes, sausage, cereal, toast, grits, etc. The sweet stuff is for kids.

I noticed that as well 😕

Lol

Lmao

@g h o s t I think thats a confused emoji

Heck yeah

Now I gotta rewatch the breeding plans video to see how fast she did the hognose twitch for him.

Well he definitely proved affective

Lumpy said "Hey! Don't count me out just yet 😤 i promise ALL my eggs will be fertile AND hatch all on they own." Lol maybe they should breed more normal. Would make more pairs who not related at all like they said which could prove better? Also idk how they price but more normals could make their snakes more affordable for 1st timers who just want cute baby.

They say HE'S a good breeder but that just means his partners readily accept him and he's also 100% DTF, it takes two to tango and apperently Lumpy falls under the 'sexy AND enthusiastic' category if all his partners so far have been equally receptive XD

This comment thread made me laugh so hard!

I know for a breeder it's definitely inconvenient because you can't sell them for as much as you can make with fancy morphs and you have to wait another year to make that profit, but I always feel bad when people talk about wild types like they're such a dissapointment lol. Personally I find the wild types *much* prettier on some snakes than any other morphs, like with ball pythons and corn snakes :)

@@snakewithapen5489 Common boas have the prettiest wild type pattern. Especially with their big golden heads.

@@-Ghostess oo they are pretty, and I do like the dark reddish gradation on their tails. Personally my favorite is wild type corn snakes, they're just such a *gorgeous* amber rusty reddish color with pretty darker brown saddles, and I like them a lot more than any of the other corn morphs like anery or albino.

it's good to get some new genetics into the breeding pool though, especially with them having some of the "fancy genes" so they are still worth breeding for fancy genes with other fancy gene snakes. Financially not that awesome but still, not the worst thing in the world imo.

@@snakewithapen5489 For me the California red-sided garters are one of the most gorgeous wild-types out there

Ikr! I hope they never stop doing them

It’s like adult version of egg surprises that kids are so obsessed over! Lmao!

They do a great job!

I’m addicted too.

It's easily my favorite thing they post I mean I don't skip any of their videos but this is why I subscribed!

I hope your day gets better. May the hognose babies bless you.

I hope your day gets better or at least tomorrow is better after a good sleep! Watching cute baby snakes always helps tho

I hope you feel better soon friend. I recommended the hatching playlist. So many babies.

I'm not sure how to tag all of you, but thanks so much guys! I'll stay strong. And until then, I'll stay here watching hognose babies with my own hognoses ;)

Tomorrow is a new day. Hope you a have better day to come. God bless

Same

@@paularoesch541 ii

Ya definitely

Don't you mean *egg*citing?

Especially since the plains hognoses live (and hatch) in relatively arid climates. Usually July/August in the midwest is quite dry.

I wonder if the skin gets tougher with each shed. It could be to make their skin less vulnerable.

Given that several other snake species don’t shed immediately out of the egg, I think it’s just a leftover mutation that wasn’t disadvantageous so it wasn’t bred out naturally

It’s placement might be why, it might be in the best spot to lay. Try swapping spots with it and see

@@vinny_rivera I've tried moving hides around. It's the hide he likes, not that particular spot. Ha!

@@robinsonrom I just moved my leopard gecko hide so that she would be warmer during the winter and she’s throwing a temper tantrum 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Reptiles are so funny

Maybe you can try seeing if any people who do custom 3D prints can make a bigger sugar packet holder shape for him.

I know this is very late, but try putting a bigger hide around his favorite. He'll go to find his favorite and find himself inside the bigger one as well. That's a good way to get him used to the bigger one.

This is so silly 10/10

I like your profile picture!! Gotta love the blueberry boi

@@z0mb13mu77 thanks.

lmao i had terrible timing, i was just about to go to bed! (at like 12am shhh)

Unfortunately it says the runt did not make it in the description 😥

I'm actually in the same boat as them with the fast food era, but have been recommended this method (crockpot + similar) so much! Do you have any favorite recipes or names of foods you wouldn't mind sharing that I could look up? I always get so overwhelmed at the options as a new cook. 🥺 I would very much appreciate it!

@@gavm7075 chicken and wild rice soup is one of our go-to recipes, and it freezes well, too. The best thing might be to figure out what you like to eat and then look for crock pot recipes. That said, in general, Martha Stewart offers pretty foolproof recipes. They’re also accurate to time and quantity.

I second the crock pot, my wife got an Instant Pot a few years back and it's proven to be so useful. We've mad all osrts of thing in it, including ribs htat literally fall of the bone, which my daughter doesn't like, she likes to be able to knaw the meat off the bone. Anway, they're so convenient, jsut a bit of prep, set the timer and you're all set.

@@gavm7075 Two of my favorites is Bean soup and White Chicken Chili. For the first, take a ham hock and toss it in. Add a good portion (a bag and a half is good) of beans, then add water. I like to use Black Turtless, Maya Cobas, or Great Northerns, but just about any bean will do. Then set it aside to cook on high. Seasonings can be whatever. We do garlic, basil, and thyme. Don't worry about salt until you dish up as there's plenty in the ham. White Chicken Chili 3 cans kidney beans (2 dark/1 light or vice versa) 2 cans great northern beans 2 cans pinto beans (substitute mayacoba beans for sweeter flavor) 1-2 cans corn 1-2 cans diced tomatoes (optional) 2-4 chicken breasts 1 McCormick White Chicken Chili seasoning packet Toss beans in large pot/crockpot, juice and all. Add corn and tomates (draining on these is optional. We drain the tomatoes, but not the corn). Add seasoning packet, stir in, and set to a simmer. In separate pot, boil the chicken. Do not drain the water, set it aside. Chop chicken, and add to everything else. Stir the chili once every half hour or so. As liquid evaporates, add in some of the chicken water. The longer it cooks, the more the flavors meld and the better it gets. Min cook time is 3 hours, no less, simply to get a good flavor. Best time is 5 hours cooked, overnight in fridge, and then reheated. 🤤 Serve with whatever you usually have with chili. We like sourdough bread bowls and a solid dusting of finely-shredded colby-jack cheese, no sour cream. However, you do you. *Note: if you are doing this for a freezer meal, use a crockpot liner. Put liner in the pot, toss everything in (including a half cup to a cup extra water) and forego the cooking (aside from the chicken. You'll want to cook the chicken). Cram in the freezer, pot and all, and let freeze. Remove liner from pot and wrap the frozen bundle well (cling wrap works fine). Store in freezer until needed. This way, you can just pull it out of the freezer, unwrap, and toss it in to cook the morning you need it without having problems with transferring containers. (Plus it makes clean up far easier. Always a big bonus. XD) If you'd like a few more, let me know! :)

You might like my beef veggie soup. I never use measurements so I'll try to make them close. 1 - 1.5 lbs ground beef 1 package mixed vegetables (don't get the soup ones, just the regular) 1 large can V8 or comparable stuff 1 large V8 can of water 2 russet or 4 red skinned potatoes if desired 4 chicken bouillon cubes or to taste 6 beef bouillon cubes or to taste (occasionally, if I have them, I'll use the packs from ramen noodles instead.) 1-2 bay leaves to taste. Remember to remove them before eating. (guess how I know that. LOL) Any spices you enjoy, to taste. We like rosemary, thyme, and sometimes oregano. Husbunny likes sage but I'm not a fan so we split the pot) Put it all in a large crockpot and pour the V8 and water over it. Cook on low for 6~ hours. If you're home, check once to make sure that the ground beef isn't a clump. If cooking in a soup pot, same as above only cook on medium for 2-3 hours then turn to low and let simmer as long as desired.

Hol up

The runt didn't make it :(

@@housespiderinthecorner awww :[

Hold a damn minute. BIG FOOT? Can I get a baby Bigfoot please.

But what's a runt?

In the wild more likely a normal than a morph. They have a couple regional subspecies with different colors. Emily and Ed have Westerns from the Plains subspecies (most common in the pet trade). The Mexican has a more yellow undertone, and Dusty are a more chocolate tone with their colors. Here in the southeast we get grey and black patterned Easterns, and Southerns that are grey-brown with dark brown spots, and a gorgeous red fade between spots.

@@-Ghostess the one I saved had grey patches down it's whole body and white in-between the patches it didn't look like a normal with they're colors. I took a picture of it laying on the plant

I mean Probably on the Toilet too

I think it’s just when she’s filming!

She uses plushies in place of reptiles when she sleeps lol

Not when she plays pokemon go. You can’t hold your pokemon while they’re battling.

@@RainbowFishSaysHello that right there is real facts

Unlike the other animals that she personally birthed. Adopted kid jokes are lame.

@@headerahelix Agreed. Mean af for no reason.

@@headerahelix Have a kid (friend of friend's teen) whose adopted parents kicked him out AGAIN. HE'S NOT EVEN 16!!! Dude's mom had problems and died of overdose I think? Sooo.... wtf?!?! You bring a child INTO family, but aren't prepared to love UNCONDITIONALLY, ESPECIALLY when it's pretty obvious there's likely to be challenges he'll need HELP with.... just... AAARRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!😩🤬🤬 Just how the blooming HECK is that teen supposed to think he deserves ANYTHING, much less respect and LOVE??? I'm in a different city, so I cant help as well with school etc, but I'll do whatever I can AND my friend is committed to helping too. EVERY CHILD is an opportunity, responsibility, and a privilege for ALL people, even those who say "not my kid not my problem"... we are so connected, that just won't ever be practical again, and I do not believe it was ever right. Sorry. Rant. But, basically, yeah. Adoption does not nor has it EVER lessened the value of an individual. Full stop. 😡

Please don't feed feral animals, it's terrible for the environment (cats eat native critters) and perpetuates the issue of those poor cats living in terrible conditions, I know it's hard because we want to help the kitties but it's not good in the long run

I'm often amazed at that. Like, previous relationships I say I wanna do smthn and it's "okay", often no interest in helping. But they chose to go on this journey together, and both clearly love their animals very much. Altho after acquiring an alligator and a bajillion snakes, I mean... Zoo is prob the best way for that to go.

While I agree with you it is always good for the animal to be more valuable. People tend to treat them better. It's a sad fact. I would never breed cornsnakes for just this reason, even though I think they are some of the prettiest snakes ever. You really don't want to flood the market with snakes few people want.

it's only a disappointment because they were looking forward to having toffee babies, but they at least get a healthy clutch and proof that waffle can make a very good clutch(and next breeding season, they can find out if flapjack is good at causing a clutch)

She loves normals, it's just weren't what they were hoping for this time. Kinda like if you love both chocolate and vanilla equally, but you order a vanilla cake, and end up with a chocolate. Kinda disappointing since at the time that's not what you were going for.

Yeah, and if you're talking purely about profit, a huge clutch of 18 normals will bring just as much money as 10 specialty snakes.

I literally today was looking at morph market like "what in the hell is an Arctic? Oooo"

Right? Or restaurant gift cards? It's nice, though, that now a lot of grocery stores will do curbside pickup and delivery.

Theyre right next door to a dairy queen and a subway

The problem there is that if it had noteworthy advantages for how many babies survive, basically every snake would be doing it.

@@sampagano205 my apologies for a late response been a rough couple of weeks for my family. But wouldn't all snakes be live birth then seeing as how there is a tactical advantage there? Being able to get away as soon as they are born does sound like an advantage yet not all snakes are live birth.

It could also be a food situation. Most snakes shed right before they start feeding so it could do with something along those lines. I mean hognoses shed almost immediately after hatching even seen some hatching in shed. Maybe it is so they can start eating sooner because of their primariy food sources?

Check this video's description. The runt did not make it unfortunately..

It died :(

@@maryamaliya4077 Ah, that's sad, poor baby.

That's good protein!

The runt died :((

My best friend uses it and I've had a lot of the dinners she's made and I was really surprised at how good it is!

I really like their taco recipes, havent had one yet that I didn't like!

I have a question does the meat come with the hello fresh or do you need to go buy the meat because I always thought it only came with the ingredients and not the meats could you please let me know if it comes with the meat too or do you have to get them separately from the store to go with what's in the hellofresh box thank you

@@theresalux8185 the meat comes with it. There are occasional things that you need for the recipe that aren't in the box but most people usually have them on hand. One time it was honey. We didn't have any honey but it wasn't essential, the other time it was flour. Which luckily we had because it was essential 😅 I've moved out from my mums house and currently cooking my own hello fresh meals 😋

That actually sounds like a cute idea. As long as they got reptile safe paints that would be a great way to get kids involved

It died :( check the description

@@blizzard_potato1225 :(

Emily is such a wonderful ambassador for snakes, has watching her videos helped at all with your fear?

@@KeeperofMolgera Definitely helped me. I still don't want to I run into them outside, but I have become able to handle my daughter and SIL's ball pythons now where before I didn't even want to be in the same room!

@@KeeperofMolgera She is wonderful! A little bit, I’d still freak out if I saw one in or around my house.

Same! She's almost transformed me into wanting to get a beginner snake. But I have 3 cats and have raised rats and don't know if I can handle the feeding. I've gotten over the fear of holding other people's snakes (no herping for me though) but the feeding still makes me sick :(

I was so grossed out by snakes until I watched one of Emily’s videos last year…now I have a 7 month old albino conda Hognose! And it’s all her fault😂

It died :( check the description

i think its a wird youtube thing now about showing feedings for snanks that eat roadence idk tho [ps i cant spell atm lol ]

RU-vid flags feedings as animal abuse towards mice, even if they're already dead.

I thought the same 😥

It died :( look at the description

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
