It would be such a cute idea for the store if you made some stickers for each of your most popular animals (Rex, nearly headless nick, etc) that said "blank approved!" And put them on their favorite snack products!
Actually, yeah it's really dangerous if you touch it for too long or swallow it. However if you crush it up really fine then mix it in a drink it should all evaporate by the time it turns into a slushie. Another trick is to put it in the freezer because the freezer is warm enough for the dry ice to disappear but cold enough so the freezee won't melt. Obviously do your own research if you plan to mess with dry ice though!
@@novaava would a barred owl eating a spotted owl be considered cannibalism? (Since they’re from the same genus) I think it would be considered cannibalism.
@@SnakeDude. I don’t think so, they yes are from the same genus that does not mean they are the same so I don’t think it would be considered cannibalism
This is such a good idea! A lot of people like snakes, but don't want them as pets because of feeding mice/rats. I think this would allow more people to try owning a snake!
@@seras2996 you can feed them frozen rodents! I’m pretty sure most frozen rodents are killed by being put to sleep by a gas or smth so nothing violent. (that is if you don’t get disgusted by dead mice and don’t mind putting them in your freezer ofc)
Hello from Australia, Blue tongue lizards are very common where we live. They would normally eat a lot of slugs and snails in their natural habitat. They would also eat lots of spiders, ants and cicardas. They love living near veggie gardens, but they are not known to eat the vegetables just the insects and snails attracted to them.
I ordered my reptilinks for the first time and got a “due to the high volume of orders from Snake Discovery please allow two extra weeks for your shipment.” Notification 😂 also the money back guarantee only applies to first time orderers and does not apply to ball pythons. Which is understandable. But here’s hoping I can convert my bps.
@@edwardhisse2687 I honestly didn't really know this until I met someone whose bp went off feed and never recovered. I literally went "... Aren't those a typical starter snake? That's scary!"
@@StonedtotheBones13 That's why I prefer corn snakes! I did not even smell like food yet my baby corn snake thought I was a snack. He would eat daily if it was up to him and I love him for it. I get easily stressed so a picky eater wouldn't be good for me even if I think ball pythons are really pretty and friend shaped
@@idiotically-everything I not very smartly want a hoggie or MBK, altho oketee corns have been on my list as well lol. Just don't get as big, tho the wonderful thing is there's a snake for everybody, like your lil corn!
@@StonedtotheBones13 Yeah. I have also been obsessed with corn snakes since I was 7 and will most likely end up breeding them in the future as a hobby. I already have a science project planned. How does Abbots okeetee morph change if you add het palmetto to the mix? That's like 4 years away, but I was planning on getting a lovely palmetto corn snake since they're an interesting morph and there should be palmetto babies near me in fall
An explanation about the Pokémon in the background for anyone curious: in the livestream they said that beginning with the Regurgitation video they are creating a ‘Survivor’ scene in the background. So everyday there will be one less Pokémon and a new Pokémon in the pot 😂😂😂
I feel, I grew up at first in a village where you can walk to the store and then when I moved we had to learn where the store was. A 35 minute expressway drive to the store so when people say its a long 20 minutes to school I think psshhhh what a baby
This is a good idea that I'm surprised no one has created before. It's essentially just like commercially prepared raw diet for dogs and cats. Good idea! Sorry for any English mistakes
@@kaelplatt thank you! I cheat most of the time and use a translator but it makes a lot of mistakes. I'm still learning, English is very hard lol but thankfully my husband is from the usa and a good teacher
There was a company that sold whole mouse sausages for snakes back in the 90s-00s. The idea was that they would be good for people who were squeamish but wanted a snake. I guess that market wasn't big enough because I don't see them anymore. Hopefully Reptilinks will do better.
@@blazertundra I heard that that company used really poor ingredients and eventually folded because people caught on. Reptilinks seems to have found a great niche though. I think they'll stick around for a while!
Some radical vegan will get offended that you're feeding your carnivorous animal actual meat, even if it's in sausage form, and will report the video to RU-vid. RU-vid will then flag and demonetize it, if not pull the video altogether.
@@hottiekitty96 Yeah, they probably come from that ridiculous community that wants to rewire carnivores and turn them into herbivores, which means they understand nothing about the environment. Respectful vegans are fine with me.
Best choice on the planet for "assist feeding" when necessary. But their training videos are really helpful to get creatures to recognize links as food.
That makes a lot of sense, I've always though that I would probably cut the arms and legs off of the mouse or rat if I assist fed, but this slim, sleek, homogeneous sausage seems like a much better idea. Especially for how much good stuff it has in it, no dust required!
Sometimes I don’t understand how Superman’s disguise can just be glasses but there was a solid 1/2 second at least when Emily took her blindfold off that I was VERY confused
Wait... aren't you the one that gave her to Emily and Ed? I am sorry you had to give her up. At least you can still see her in the videos. :) I hate the new laws :(
I have an idea on how to keep the animals from sliding! You guys could have a small cutting from a yoga mat (a rather firm one, so they don't rip it with their claws and accidentally eat any peices) and have them eat on that when you're filming on the countertop!!
I have been feeding my blue tongue skink, bindi, and she really enjoys reptilink sausages! I give her calcium dusted carrots,bananas(cuz it's her favorite),some live worms and a piece of reptilink sausage, she loves it♡
As a person who has 3 hognoses who have had reptilinks, from my personal experience none of them got hooked on reptilinks. Two of my three were terribly picky, like one went on a 6 month feeding strike so I had bought reptilinks in hopes to get them to eat. They ate the reptilinks for two feeding and that was it. I fed the leftover links to my non-picky hoggy but they all easily transitioned back to mice.
The garters like the mini links quail ,rabbit ,and frog. The shipping is a killer the minimum order is about$80 so it's good you are going to have them at the store.
I watch other you tube snake channels. But Emily is my favorite she treats the snakes with so much love and “baby talk” she has so much emotional love for these reptiles. You can tell the snakes do really love her. People say snakes as pets cannot love or show emotions like dogs but somehow Emily has that”snake mother whisperer” gift that it elicits love out of these snakes and reptiles.
I wish I could show you the screen shot I took of their website!! Go look at the notice they have on the dog treats! It says.... “We are overjoyed for the opportunity to make product for you! Due to a record breaking spring surge and an unprecedented number of orders from Snake Discovery, we are experiencing a shipping delay. Our products are hand-made to order and shipped on each Monday.” This makes me so happy!!!
Emily listing off the Megablend with Fruits and Veggies: "Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!"
When she had no glasses she was like super hero in street clothes. She put them on and it was like Spider-Man peeling his shirt off with the suit underneath.
Raichu’s jealousy seems to have escalated: they’re frying pikachu.... while ditto and wobbuffet bearing witness... they all seem waaaayyyyyyy too happy 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Loooove reptilinks! I use them for my hognose and get treats for my bearded dragon. Plus for those who are sensitive to looking at dead mice, these are great!
I explored getting these when I had an extremely picky hognose baby. I know they're an option for some, but they're ridiculously expensive & not always effective. I ended up finely mincing thawed frog legs I found at Asian markets with great success. And far cheaper. She later switched to f/t mice, and has been a great feeder ever since.
Emily is over here trying to give a review of a product while I can only focus on her shirt. It's so pretty! As someone who's all about tie-dye I am very jealous. All the different kinds of Blues are so amazing
Just a heads up, reptilinks are a lot denser than whole prey items, so you can not go by size the same as you would for a whole prey item to judge safe meal size. You need to weigh the link and compare to the prey item that is that same weight to get a feel for it first, otherwise you can accidentally give a meal size that is way too big. Something important to know if you have a snake with a regurgitation history. And yes, as mentioned, the caloric density is also higher so one must keep tabs on body condition as well when transitioning over. As for the picky eating thing; I think hognose just really like variety in their diet. Mine sometimes demands pinkies as an appetizer even though she has reptilinks as a staple. I do not feed rodents as a staple because I don't think it is species appropriate for hognose (nor are they for most Dipsadinae). I keep Dipsadinae specifically for this reason as I am allergic to rodents. Edit: Does Ed need a covid test? I hope that isn't what him not smelling the juices means.
My ball python is so damn judgy based on looks. Like, one time my girlfriend bought pinkies instead of hoppers when he was younger and he took a look at it and refused to even strike.
Yooo I don't have a reptile but the idea of making a food mix in a link form is so cool! Being able to give a reptile some variety in proteins/greens without having to buy and prep in yourself sounds much more appealing :')
I got these for my hognose last year along with the frog juice and some for my bullsnake. My bullsnake refused to try them until I broke the casing, then he fell in love.
When I was a kid, my biological dad raised me to love snakes. We had a serpentarium in our city and would visit it often, as it was just a five or ten minute drive from where we lived. I wanted to own a snake when I was little. But my uncle kept a bunch of snakes. At first I was very excited. But then.... he let me get attached to a live baby mouse before feeding it to a snake and making me watch. You can guess how that effected me. I still love snakes but I was convinced I could never own one. This and your other videos actually give me hope that I could one day own a snake comfortably without feeling horribly guilty at watching a baby animal suffer. My gf and I were talking and she's actually on board with us own a snake one day as long as it isn't a huge one, and the idea of reptilinks makes me feel so much happier. I'm so glad I was able to find your channel and discover this!
Jeez... Like yeah, you have to be prepared for the fact that the mice (or other prey) was raised for your snake to eat but... Idk to me, it's not much diff than farming. And doesn't need to be traumatic
Seeing your reptiles gobble down this food, all I can hear is my mom when I was a kid, "There is no way you could taste that, you swallowed it whole!" LOL! Your reps, just like me, so loved what we were eating we gobbled it up! Keep up the great work! Love y'all!
Reptilinks are great in variety, my Colombian tegu loves it. I have tried it with my bearded dragon and blue tongue skink and they will eat but is nowhere near as enthusiastic as my tegu. I finally try it on my young hognose who decided to be picky and refuse pinkies. I got the micro frog reptilink and it opens his appetite quickly. I even bought the frog juice to scent the prey items for a few of my other hogs who were being picky and they all took to it fairly well. I love that you have the option of adding quail eggs if you want to. The only negative thing is you have to spend at least 75 to have them ship. But I have plenty of animals that I always go above that. Overall great product as it gives overall balanced nutrition.
I think I’m going to try these with my corn snake. I’ve never had trouble getting him to eat mice but my parents really don’t like having dead mice in our freezer so if he likes these this might be the perfect solution
You can also try getting a second hand micro fridge to keep in your room for frozen mice. If you live near a university there's usually lots of students selling them
This seems really helpful for beardies that wont eat their salad. I've known too many and even owned one myself. Practically had to force-feed him veggies.
Rewatching some old videos and I finally thought to ask the question - how does Rex even know if she likes something? I mean, Emily and Ed are always so excited and saying they think she likes it but honestly, she just inhales the food 🤣
reptilinks are awesome! I have alot of reptiles, I haven't tried them on my snakes, but my bigger lizards love them! it's been my staple for my tegu and Savannah monitor.. they look so healthy! I've also gotten rid of having to have so many feeder bugs!
I have GREAT experiance on the frog juice my black rat snake is wild caught and i couldnt get him to eat for a while, but then while i was shopping for new stuff for him someone reccomended frog juice, i was kinda desprate so i got it, and he ate it right away! So I, being the simple minded person i am, named him bullfrog :)
@@Apokalypse456 Yeah, sadly. my mom found him in alabama. She gave it to my litle sis who was scared of him, so he was pretty much never handled. My mom was a pet store employee so she thought she knew everything. He had no heating, 1 hide he could barely fit under, newspaper bedding, a water dish that never got cleaned bc my sis is only 10 and always forgets, and the most disturbing thing is that when they put him in there, they didnt clean the tank. there was kinetic sand all under the newspaper and spots of sticky who-knows-what. he himself was in terrible condition. he had parasites, constipation, and was teribly skinny. I begged my mom and my sister to give him to me. eventually, they said yes. btw, I live in florida with my dad and step-mom. anyways, My parents were also fine with it bc i already did lots of reaserch on snakes. So once they said yes, i sent my parents everything i will need for him. He was only a baby at this time, I think around 2-2 and a half months old. when I got home, first thing i did was set his tank up. (I was in alabama over spring break, and thats when i got him and diagnosed him) now he is in a bigger tank with proper heating, enrichment, hides, and water. as soon as his parasites go away, I want to release him. and thats the story of bullfrog :)
@@angelitabecerra Yeah but feathers, fur, and (sometimes) bone isn't something people regularly eat. Some people do eat bones though. If they're fine enough it won't hurt you.
@@brittainyellis6670 there was a story about a fish that divers would regularly feed hotdogs to. Eventually it bit off a thumb. And come on. Are you blind? Tubular shaped bits of flesh, approximately finger sized. Now lower your iq and eyesight to that of a reptile. It’s not a stretch to think mistakes can be made when the pet is used to eating these.
I feed my tegu a similar sausage. Whole pray mixed with minerals,veggies and stuff like that. Its his staple diet,and i add fruit or veggies next to it. He is in great shape and healthy 😄. No need to buy any bugs anymore!
I know I’ve asked this before but could you do an updated care guide on African fat tail gecko‘s I have one of my own I’m just need to make sure I’m doing the care correct I love your videos
Rewatching this to help me determine which kind to feed my ball python (picky little thing apparently doesn't like rats, can't keep to mice forever as they're too small). Thanks Emily. So glad I remembered you made this video. Very glad you did.
Your show is teaching us all kinds of food for the animals. I learned more from you then I did in school .I love to learn from you.thank you for teaching us about the difference food that they eat.
right when emily took off the blindfold i was like wait why does she look weird, then she put on her glasses lol, i don’t think i’ve ever seen her without glasses until today
I had never heard of these. I went to the website to order some and they are backed up. Literally says because of Snake Discovery viewers! Haha! That's amazing! Thanks for giving an awesome company some great business!
We use the mega blend with quail eggs for our nile monitor, and the mega blend plus fruits and veggies for our tegu. Even used the frog mini links for a baby hognose and then frog juice to sent pinkies to get her onto mice and eating in general
I love the idea behind this, especially the smelly stuff to put them. Btw, my parents have had a large blue tongue living under their deck for several years who we have decided is the Snail Control Officer lol
Oh my gosh this is an AMAZING thing!!!! My husband is really squeamish about feeding reptiles because we're both so attached to mice, and this will be PERFECT! we eventually want a hog, so this would be incredible for the little friend, and it would be what they like to eat in the wild too!!!!!
I have an African house snake, who’s species normally eats the soft fur in the wild! Thankfully they aren’t a picky eater ( very dainty ). However since I really really love the African house snake species and hognose, I’m going to keep these in mind for future scales babies!
