What was the snake you had out during the video? I’m trying to learn all the different snake names. And just for fun what is their name? He does look like a boy but I could definitely be wrong. Great vid btw!
I can acknowledge that you guys are very busy and have lots of plans and work to do but it would be very interesting and we could learn from it if you were to have/breed ball pythons/ other pythons.
emily baby snake cave idea for the thin bins get some material don't know what it would be but make sure its sturdy, then cut it to fit the size of the bin where it hugs the side of the bin and add a top and a entrance so it sits flush against the bin.
This has nothing to do with the vid but today I wrote a page on how to care for a corn snake based on research I did just so I could convince my mom to get me one. Apparently one month of chores = corn snake + the things they need.
I want to get my first snake I have geckos, but I want somthing different. I am looking at a bull snake and hog nose which would you recommend and can you make a care guide for them. Thank you
Additional method of movement: The Leap of Faith. Step 1: Be a snek Step 2: Move to the edge of the desk or shelf you are exploring Step 3: Decide that you just have to get to that window sill/shelf/chair/wall over there no matter what Step 4: Stretch several times as far as possible (wrapping your tail around an item that will not hold your weight is optional but recommended) and fail to reach the Golden Land Step 5: Yeet yourself off the safe ground (bonus points if you drag that item your tail is still wrapped around comes with you) Step 6: Trust that 1-2 hand-shaped platforms will appear just in time to catch you while also serving as must the bridge you needed to get to the Golden Land Final Step: Once you get there, look utterly confused because you don't know the area and have no idea how you got here
Can you do a video talking about the “flying snakes”? I’ve heard a lot of people freaking out about them and I would like to know more about them! Y’all are awesome! Thank you for doing what you do! 😊😊😊
I think I saw a video on this! If I remember correctly, what they do is flatten out their bodies when jumping off the trees, so that their bodies basically act as hangliders would for us and they are able to glide downward.
Me 3 years ago: No, I hate snakes they're slimy, scarey and gross!! Me today: Yay! New snake discovery video, I gotta grab my precious lil noodle out and watch it together!!
It's pretty interesting. I've heard the sideways motion is used a lot in desert enviroments as the sand gets hot and the best way to touch the ground without burning the skin is with that motion
Fun Fact: A concertina is actually an instrument! It's a larger, more boxy version of an accordian, and it's the instrument Kass from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild plays!
They're usually smaller, at least from those I've seen. Then again it depends on the size of the accordion. And I love Kass. I imagine he'll be in the sequel as I can't imagine it without him.
@@SnakeDiscovery I remember the short you're talking about, but I think it's just an accordian, because it has a rounder shape and is smaller! I could be wrong, though, as I'm getting this from a rather distant memory! EDIT: I found it! It's called "One Man Band". It's definitely an accordian, because concertinas have small buttons, and can only play one note at a time, while accordions have piano keys and can play multiple notes at once. 🙂
This was the most comprehensive explanation of how snakes move that I’ve ever heard, including a podcast segment from NPR!! Thanks for this easy to understand video!
Me: *calmly searching through yt for a video to watch* *taps on video* Emily: All of us wondered how snakes move without feet Me: *wonders how they move for first time in meh life*
Even though it’s venomous, the Gaboon Viper is one of my favorite snakes.They have this incredibly beautiful pattern going down their back. I do feel bad for venomous snakes because they’re really just misunderstood. They’re often seen as evil, and killed out of fear. I don’t know why I find such fascination in snakes, because my mom is one of those people that is absolutely terrified of them.
yea my mom said she is fine with snakes in our yard unless they are venomous and has killed snakes before for no reason other than existing and because she thought they were venomous (they were not, in fact, venomous) even though it is illegal to kill native snake species where I live (venomous or not)
@@elysedaugherty5197 One of the best things every person can do is looking up what species of snake in their state is venomous and then get familiar with how they look like, where they tend to stay, and exactly how dangerous they are. Makes it easy to stop wrongly identifying species.
@@cookie856 Theory: Snake used to have 4 legs like everything else. Then Spider came along and stole Snake's legs. That's why spiders have 8 legs, and snakes have none. XD
We have two boys and our first one moves with rectilinear most often, and our new boy moves with concertina most often. It's crazy that we're still learning such basic things about animals!
I feel like ppl just dismiss reptiles a lot, or are more interested in dinosaurs. Like I tell ppl reptiles can play, learn target training, and even learn how to use foraging toys and even some ppl who own snakes are like "nO tHeY Don'T." I also think there's more to mbd, and reptile health in general. So many times I've seen ppl say "well the necropsy showed it wasn't the infection, but weak immune system" and reptiles have GREAT immune systems, so what gives?
It just hit me how important and valuable what you are doing is. I’ve been watching out of casual interest with some ‘oh that’s cool’ moments, but I didn’t even think of how exciting this would be to a small child with that complete fascination of snakes, especially one whose family may not have the financial ability to purchase enough new snake books to satisfy their curiosity. On behalf of all the snake-fixated little kiddos out there who may not be allowed to comment on a video, thanks!
Hello, the premiere just ended, and I am here. Tomorrow is gonna be annoying ( I dont live in America but know lots of people who do ) so I will just become more educated by snakes, thank you for making it possible for me to learn more ( but most of my family are afraid of snakes )
Y mom wont let ke have one :( they think its gonna kill me but how does my gecko not kill me?! THEIR BOTH REPTILES plus noodles are pretty byt.... *i love my geico su much :3*
Aw this is so informative! My tiny noodle, Pudding, is 8 months old and my first snake, and I always referred to their movement as the caterpillar dance. Concertina locomotion is the perfect terminology for it, it describes it so well ☺️
Sophieanne Jobes2020 well idk about the eyes, but I’m pretty sure the tongue is too sense movement nearby. If you asked why the tongue shape is a fork and not what it does, then idrk
snakes don't usually have completely black eyes, they have black pupils with varying colors of iris. There are a few morphs of different species that have black irises, such as black eyed leucistic ball pythons and Diablo hognose snakes. Snakes have forked tongues because it gives them a directional sense of smell. Each tip of the tongue collects scents from different directions, and allows snakes to tell in which direction a scent is stronger. There's a little more complicated information about the anatomy in that answer but that's the basic gist of it.
The forked tongue is to sense chemicals in the air one is to sense movement and the other is to sense if it prey or predator, the black eyes are supposedly to help them see higher than grass since they are small and they cant see above grass that is supposed to help them see what moving beyond the grass
!Please read off camera and say if you like my story on camera! To: Emily and Ed at Snake Discovery I recently got my first snake! Her name is Emi and she is a three month old tessera corn snake. I found your channel because I saw a video titled “My Alligator Picks out a New Toy at the Pet Store.” I watched it because I was interested. After I watched it I watched another and another. After a week or so of watching, I realised I wanted my own snake. So I searched your channel for a video for good beginner snakes. It did not take me long to find it: the video was called “The Top 5 BEST Beginner Snakes.” I watched it and it said the best one was a corn snake. Then I noticed my birthday was a month away. I asked my mom and dad if I could get one and they said yes. I scoured the internet for good websites to get snakes from. This took me nearly three weeks. I finally found a website called BigAppleHerp.com. My birthday was in six days but my parents let me order her early. After I got her I waited a few hours and then fed her. It took her a few tries to get the pinkie but she got it. I have had her for about three weeks now and she is all mine. This is a real story This was originally going to be a letter but i don't have a printer -From Asher
I did my physics capstone on snake locomotion! I referenced a paper which found that snakes “diffract” when they encounter obstacles, and their paths looked just like those of photons interacting with a diffraction grating! It was super cool and there’s also some really interesting applications to robots and machine learning. Snakes are awesome.
That is such an awesome topic for a capstone!!!! So cool that you could combine an interest in snakes (I assume at least lol) with your major!! Sadly as a psychology major I couldn’t find a way to study reptiles in mine I’m jealous 😭
@@raeflagg8763 Study ophidiophobia. Handle a snake, and study how those with ophidiophobia react to it. Everyone reacts to fear or unease in different ways. Would certainly make for an interesting paper. 😁
Natural fiber clothing (all cotton or linen, NO POLYESTER), loosely fitting, and light colors. (My parents wouldn't turn on the AC until it hit 100F in the house. And I used to do living history encampments.) And deodorant, not antipersperent. Sweat is there for a reason.
I love your videos!! You've inspired me to get my one snake, his name is Pretzel. I love him with all my heart and we watch your vids together. (Literally, he stares at the screen when there is a vid on it lol)!
My mom already doesn't understand me when I talk about animals and if I start talking about undulation, she is just gonna think I'm making up words, or talking chinese 😂
Did the snake bite you at 1:14 where the vid cut out 😂. All I see is the snake moving its head toward your hand and it immediately cutting to you finishing your sentence.
Wow. This was really interesting. I was research snake movement for a fantasy book I'm writing. This has really been useful. Incredible to think to thing that rectilinear motion was discovered so recently. Peace.
Me: sad cause I just watched a video explaining someone's barn cat who I've grown attached to was hit by a car and badly injured RU-vid autoplay: "here have fun video about how snakes move" Me: ... *sniff* "thanks I needed this"
I love how even though you have a large audience of children that you still use the “big” vocabulary! This high school science teacher loves how clearly you describe science terms in a way everyone can understand :)
I kind a need your help I found a tortoise on the front door of our steps like to know if you know the possibilities how to deal with it because we live in a neighborhood there’s a possibility you could get a hit by a car I want to know if you know the right thing to do with the tortoise or any ideas I can do with it!
Let it go in a grassy safe area, just make sure it's actually a tortoise. Call your local wildlife rehab center or emergency veterinary clinic for advice
No idea what it is, but I just can’t grasp the physics behind serpentine movement - at least not after pushing off an object. The others I understand just fine, but I can’t really visualize what’s actually happening with that one.
Hello people of the comment section, I need some assistance! I am a beginner snake owner with 1 baby ball python. He/she (Don't know gender) Has a 10 gallon enclosure with all the necessary stuff for it. My problem is, it doesn't eat.. I've used frozen thawed fuzzies (I think that's how you spell it) and he still doesn't eat it. I am very concerned cause it's almost been a month and he hasn't ate. If anyone can help that would mean the world to me! If I need to I will post videos on updates about the snake, whatever it takes to get him eating. Thanks for the help everyone, I'll check on this comment in a day. Note: I've seen that the bedding I use, Aspen isn't good. A lot of snake owners say don't use aspen. We are planning to change but for now it's Aspen.
