Our Hognose Eggs Accidentally Summoned a Thunderstorm... 

for anyone who doesn't know or is curious, "petrichor" is the smell of rain falling on dry soil

Maybe Yumbra double clutched because she was sorry for eating some of the first clutch? Imagine your an unborn baby snake, you come down to start developing, your mom eats you, you try again, and you get the same mom.

“Afternoon Delight” is a 70’s song. When I was a little girl I asked my dad what afternoon delight was? He said it was Banana Pudding, which was his favorite dessert. For years I believed him. I sure miss my dad.

It would be cool to have an update on the mice breeding and/or some of the parts of Snake Discovery that we don’t get to see as much. :)

Afternoon Delight was done by Starland Vocal Band and came out in the 70’s. I’m 63 and I remember it was #1 in 1976 when I started high school. I actually did comment in that video about the song.

I'm just in awe with Emily's neat upside-down penmanship.

Double clutches scare me after omnomlette passed away from double clutching. :( It takes a lot of resources out of these hoggies. Girls you're awesome, but take a break!! Hope these ladies rest up after doing all that hard work. :)

Anchor man references work 60% of the time ...everytime😂

Emily caused all flooding chaos! Never underestimate her power

You should keep one of the babies and name it Storm!

It's missing rainworms. The English call them "earthworms", but in German they are called "rainworms", because they come out during rain.

I always get a little tickled whenever Umbra is brought up since one of my favourite DnD characters that I've played was a black dragonborn named Umbra. The fact that this is a rain clutch makes me laugh even more as my character was a fire-based sorceress.

You should name one of the babies “Door Dash”. You will then get your fries.

Ed's a good husband "I guess we're getting fries after this" 😂What a nice Summer vid, even with summonings

The hognose eggs manifested that storm. They have ✨magic✨. 🕯️⛈️🕯️🌸

You got a storm of Hognose eggs lightning fast! I'm blown away! You are gonna get a flood of babies. A nice lil cuddle puddle when they hatch. Those mamas need to rain in their enthusiasm for laying. They cloud stand to chill out a bit. They really brought the thunder this year

You guys went from a full basement to darn near a full warehouse.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="620">10:20</a> Emily stopped herself from swearing, a true professional. "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs this sh... this clutch." Smooth. :P

Hey em! I'm the kid in the wheelchair you met in tinley NARBC!! I was wondering if you are planning on going anywhere near Georgia for A con or something? I am also coming to the shop in a few months to meet U guys and the fam again!

Really hoping that Umbra and JoyJoy will stay healthy after laying such a massive clutch of eggs; it’s crazy that they both double-clutched, but I guess Umbra didn’t want to go down as Omnomlette 2: Electric Boogaloo.

“Ohhhhh, rainBOWS”. I giggled at “I hate rainbows”. I’m equally elderly and appreciated the reference. 🎉

Fun fact! The smell of rain is called petrichor!

We just watched this. And now there's thunder rolling. Your summoning skills are indeed epic. The storms weren't supposed to start for hours.

Emily, can you come down to South Texas and do your rain dance? We’re in a drought and our lake levels are very low. You could just travel the country to everywhere that’s in a drought and help out. Bonus, you can go herping.

Emily definitely has a talent for those little drawings on the eggs. They look eggscellent 😂

"54 Seconds Ago" Perfect timing, coming home to a new vid!

I've missed seeing the mama's enjoying their egg laying snacks :)

*watching when suddenly, thunder cracks outside* My 11 year old- "YOU SUMMONED RAIN HERE!!!"

I finished watching the video and got a notification saying thunderstorms are possible in the next few hours. I think that summoning ritual worked a bit too well 😆

Afternoon delight is a song about adult activities released in the '70s. I thought it was a funny name, although I've never seen anchorman

emily's drawing powers are growing! more powerful then any snake keeper's powers that i've ever seen!

I'm reminded of the time my friends and I did a rain dance during a community camping trip. We summoned a storm powerful enough to flood us all out, had to cut the event early lol. Do not mess with the weather!

Petrichor is the scent of 🌧️🌧️🌧️ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a>

Fun fact: as another comment mentions, the smell of rain is called "petrichor". Well, humans are able to detect rain from miles away (with some help of the wind)! Basically, when the water hits something, tiny air bubbles disperse into the air that often include the chemical geosmin, which smells like earth. Human noses are very sensitive to this chemical and can smell it in the air at concentrations as low as .4 ppb!! (for reference, 1 ppm is a general concentration of an odor humans can smell) TL;DR Humans can smell petrichor, or the smell of rain, from miles away and at concentrations as low as 1ppb!

I love you guys so much you guys made me get over my fear of snakes and now I have 2 snake’s and a bearded dragon

The "I hate rainbows" was from South Park, like way back in an earlier series. I feel old

I’m sitting on my front porch watching this video and a storm roll in, thunder in the distance. I think the clutch summoned me a thunderstorm too !

Hognose snake eggs: ice saw summon lightning at the worst time possible

Someone needs to make the clutch a Pokémon card with one of the moves being “rain dance”

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="607">10:07</a> the mac and cheese looked like Cheetos to me lol 😂

I'm sorry. I enjoyed your rendition of "Afternoon Delight" in that video. I even sang along. I should've commented.

Just got home noticed and I was like *hoognoses can summon THUNDERSTORMS?! ⛈️ 😅*

I is thundering and poring outside here in Florida this is is crazy

As a resident of Southern CA, the rain in this video has filled me with intense envy. Please send some of that west 🙏

I believe the rainbow thing was Cartman yes? lol I am 39, so a little older than you guys. Here in Colorado, last year we had the coolest and rainiest May and June I can remember my whole life (memories since about 1990). This year has been the driest.... many plants barely even grew this year and last year they had fungal problems.

Anyone else amazed that Emily can write and draw upside down? lol <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="283">4:43</a>

Ooow, heavy thunder and lightning storm just started in Hong Kong... powerful eggs!!! 🌧 ⛈️

Maybe Umbra felt bad about eating eggs from her first clutch. Also Umbra means Umbrella now since you need one when she lays her eggs

Congrats on all of the eggs this year!

Emily is my spirit animal with trying to summon the food!!! Lol That was hilarious.

A close family friend of mine's mother was the one who gave her pie recipes to the family that owned the dam store by Rapidan Dam. That was their house that went into the river. Luckily everyone was ok, and I believe they got all of their most important possessions out of the house ahead of time. I went to the dam and saw the house and later that day was when it went down. We forgive your thunderstorm summoning antics!!

the rain has been crazy weird, even in ohio haha . im so excited for the eggs!

Afternoon Delight came out in the 70s and yes I remember 😂

I LOVE THE SMELL OF RAIN ITS REALLY GOOD 🩷

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="19">0:19</a> Relationship goals, I could only wish to have a man so fun and supportive

In regards to the Afternoon Delight song, I got it and laughed and loved it! I promise! I just normally play your videos over the TV, so commenting is a bunch of extra steps! Also, I loved the Anchorman references.

can we all just think about how AWSOME this channel is!!

I loved that song in the 80s! I’m a musician so the harmonies were my fav!

Tyler Nolan had some amazing hognose babies too, tis the season! Congrats, hope for awesome babies, and hoggies everywhere woo! Also anything coconut related being used is probably best considering how much more sustainable it is than other stuff, plus anti-fungal etc.

Omg those snakes eggs are meant to hatch on my birthday 🎉❤ 🥹

This is a great surprise today. I'm feeling stressed and sore from having 7 teeth removed almost a week ago

Enjoyed seeing the view from the Snake House, and having a lovely, rainy, natural, outdoor video background for variety! 🙂☔

I've been watching for a solid year or two now and I'm close to getting my first reptile, which is, of course, a Hognose! I never would've gotten into snakes without you so thank you

I've been waiting so long for an upload 😢😂❤

Wow. Rain dance eggs.

I totally sang along with you guys on Afternoon Delight. 🤣 I LOVE Anchorman! I love lamp.

Omg so my hubby is a pretty big South Park fan and yet I was the one to show him the “I hate rainbows” bit. So good. “rainbows are those colourful things in the sky” “oooooooh raaaaainbows” “what were you talking about”

Yay! Another snake egg video!!!

Hi snake discovery I love your videos ❤❤I have been a fan for years now keep up the great work ❤❤❤

Afternoon delight does have a double connotation, if you listen to the song more than just the bit, it's kinda clearly about how he got the job done making eggs 🤣 good job

Yes Emily, a thunderstorm/ weather behind you is cool! 🤩👏🏼

I agree. The smell of rain is amazing I can’t believe I was the second person to comment

Love the vids keep up the good work🎉❤😊

Afternoon Delight was a hit in the 70s!! Some of us here do still listen to that decade!!

I love the rainstorm behind you. Best backdrop ever. 💚

Why are so many people saying first just watch the video😭

I should be sleeping, but I had to watch as soon as I saw the notification 😅

I sang along when u did the afternoon delight video! Also the rapidan dam clip was perfect! I love all ur 80s and star wars references. Great job as usual guys!!

Yeah! Rainy hognose eggs on Snake Discovery!! Makes this old soul's heart smile!

Its been so long since ive seen one of your videos… the zoo has expanded by so much?!

Stormcloud Hognose in the sky?

Ed Afternoon Delight came out in 1976 when I was in high school. Starland Vocal Band only had that one hit.

Joy and Aziraphael double-clutch... you guys are gonna get so many toffee babies! Excited to see the hatching videos!

I LOVE hog noses 😍

This is a good video of snakes!

The is what you call an “entertaining Emily”. The best FR FR.

Afternoon Delight is a 70s song. I know because I'm oldish and it's one of my favorites.

Cool vid you are my favorite RU-vid channel

They summoned Thor!

The babies are so pretty! Maybe you should keep one for remembering this day and what happened ! And maybe call it , like stormy , cloud , or thunder? Or maybe Una? .

I have so needed this today. Had to go to the dentist so needed some SD therapy to make everything better! ❤

🎶rocko's modern liiiiiiiiiiiife🎶

So cool

When I see a video like this, you guys make me smile

I knew what you referenced, and I rewatched that clip several times bc I enjoyed hearing Emily’s sound effects!! You guys did a fantastic job and it was worth it

Point of Order: The song 'Afternoon Delight' was released in the 1970s. 😉

I thought the afternoon delight reference was so obvious kt dodnt need commenting on..... PS... im 41y.o so i definitely get your more adult references.... even the "too many sticks on the dance floor" reference you made about the stick insects in a video ages ago. So please keep adding PG adult refences. I appreciate how much of this channel viewership is younger people so it needs to stay PG. You both share identical comedy interests youve made just through references. Love you both. Stay weird.

Ooooo The start of that rain looked like perfect frolicking rain. Now I wish it was raining here

Watching this from Toronto where we had serious flash flooding today 😂

I CLICKED FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY “ hognose”
