Our Timor Monitors get an Upgrade!! 

This may sound odd, but it actually makes me glad that you leave in things like "whoops, dumped some stuff on the floor", because I feel like a lot of videos get edited and polished to the point where, when I'm trying to change the tank setup and following a video (or having watched the videos beforehand to get an idea), it's unreasonably upsetting to me when I make a mess, like oh geez, what a dunce, who makes messes like this, I'm just clearly bad at this. ..Which I realize is a ridiculous thing to think, but..it is what it is. So seeing videos that aren't edited to make everything shiny and perfect makes me feel better about it, like yeah I can do this, and if I make a mess, well I just gotta clean it up and keep going.

Okay, but using the paint tray as a water dish is a stroke of genius.

Why are you worrying about the sun going down when Ed is right there.

Ed’s singing was basically the same as the montage music. Honestly would be 100% okay if all the montage music was just Ed singing

I love how slowly ed has become more and more comfortable on the channel. It's great to see him more often! Edit: 1.1k likes, thank you 😭😭😭

I’m really excited for them to announce that the facility is finished

This Menards place should really sponsor Snake Discovery at this point.

Just a fashion aside: Emily, that blue top is sooo cute.

Ed's shirt is the most appropriate thing I've ever seen him wear. EMILY! HUG HIM ON CAMERA FOR EVERYONE WHO CAN'T!!!!!

I just love how Emily gives her small reptiles giant enclosure talk about little reptiles big world

Emily: “What are you singing?” Ed: “Music....” 😂 it was beautiful music

can we just notice that's ed's shirt says: "I'm just one big freaking ray of sunshine." *u sure are ed* Edit: OMG! Thank you for all the likes! This is the most I've ever had!

Emily's tips: Go to Menards

I love your content it’s made quarantine SO MUCH BETTER

Almost all my furniture is used. 90% came from goodwill, flea markets, antique shops and the like. Thrifting keeps things out of the land fills, also most of it is better quality than Ikea. I have a lovely 100 year old rocking chair made from oak that i just sanded down, applied a finish and made a new cushion for. All of that cost under 20$, including how much I spent on the chair! My dinning table I put together out of the top from a coffee table and the base of another, i'd found each separate and put them together and painted it all one color. The result is you get more unique and personal furniture, for half the cost of cheep mass produced stuff and you help the environment. You made that cabinet YOURS. There wont be another one just like it.

Cute lizards, gorgeous new enclosure, surprise fun shout out to a new zealand company and some cool sustainable business practices I didn't know we were doing here, but the actual standout for me is that cabinet! Ed - tell me your secret! How did you make it look so pretty??? (Like, seriously, you've said a few times I think that Ed is pretty handy with the behind the scenes DIY stuff and I'd really love to see some videos about what he does and how because that pain job in particular is lovely!)

Pro tip: Hydroton (clay balls) can be bought in bulk at hydroponics supply shops. I buy 50 liter bags for less than a dollar per liter at Midwest Hydroponics. You can never have too much of this stuff on hand when you’re setting up enclosures.

I feel like redesigning a room is the same as a snake getting an update

does anyone else love how the animals "talk"? i love it cause it's so cute to give animals a voice, and i feel like that's exactly what the animals would say! but anyways to whoever is reading this have a great weekend and stay safe!😁♥

I love how these videos basically come with the unsaid rule of "this is how to care for reptiles in the Midwest on a budget" And as a millennial snake owner in Southern illinois, I find the "theres a cheaper version at Menards" mentality so relatable! Thanks for all your help!!!

The snake plant is called 'Mother in laws tongue' here in the UK. 😂

What are you going ot do with all the extra space at home, that remains after you take all (most) of the animals to the outer place? And rex room too ? It is going to feel SOO EMPTY.

Tips for spray painting your logo onto things. Use a thin stencil mark and bring the can 6 to 12 inches away. There are quite a few sites that let you submit your logo, select your size and send you a stencil of your logo for really cheap! :)

They should defiantly sell the snake discovery awesome mix at the snake discovery building

I never thought I’d say this but... *that soil is pretty*

Emily: now you see me (puts enclousure bacground in) now you don't! Ed: *ah, that's much better...* Emily: oH, WHateVeR... My heart melted guys 😍😭

We love New Zealand being all sustainable (and being mentioned in something even if it’s literally for like 2 seconds)

Since I've been following your RU-vid channel for a year now I've actually become more comfortabke with danger noodles (snakes), thank you guys so much!❤

Ed and Emily just making lockdown and quarantine so much better!!!

For those of you who don't what Menards is, it's a combination of a Target and Home Depot. Also look up the jingle because according to Tiktok it's the Midwest anthem.

I laughed when the montage music came on and all I had in my head was ed's wom wom wooomm 😂

I love how you give tips on how to save money while setting up enclosures

"they are one with the enclosure" - emily 2020

I love eds shirt: Im just one BIG freakin ray of sunshine 😂

Am I the only one who notices all of Emily’s difference belts l

I RARELY hear about people trying to save the bogs! THANK YOU! There are so many bogs around me and they are so unique and need to be protected. Wish more people knew how much damage peat harvesting does. I hear all the time "oh we are using this because it is sustainable' and I'm like yay... then they go 'and we are throwing in peat moss' and I'm like.. nooo. Thanks again!

Me: snek Me again: o wait that’s not a snek

Can't wait for the facility, it's right next to my house omgggg

I would of loved to hear Ed's "made up music" along side the actual montage music at the end !! As always, Great video either way ❤

I love Ed sings and says its for the montage and Emily agrees but then they add a different background music lol 😆

Hey you understand the animals ......what they need and what should be there for them!!! Love you

I’m my gosh there beautiful. There scales look almost like little beads. The colors are amazing to.

The video came out when I was in school (online zoom meeting that is)so This was the earliest I could watch.I still got my daily dose of Snake discovery tho. 🙂

Thank you, Emily and Ed! I adore Timor and Acki monitors! The new bioactive cage is just gorgeous and this is now one of my favorites of your videos. There is something soothing and comforting for me about watching a pretty habitat come together, no matter which species, four-legged, finned or two-legged it is for.

"We're going to kiss in the middle....muah muah muah muah." Lol.

What happened to the mystery turtle eggs? The ones that the little girls brought over cuz kids were throwing them around

I bought a dresser on Facebook marketplace to put my snakes enclosure on! It took me a few weeks to find one with the right dimensions but I'm so happy I did it! 20 bucks vs a 400$ terrarium stand. Murry the ball python loves it!

Wow, hearing the name "Menards" is a blast from the past for me, I haven't lived near one in over a decade, and yet... the jingle is in my head now.

You know you're obsessed with pet keeping when you get excited by a big glass box

The longer eds hair is the longer ed likes to be on camera

Somehow these little guys remind me of my black cat - she blends in with a lot of stuff and then suddenly I see her derpy little face and I can’t help but smile! Just like these cuties!!

I really liked seeing these guys in the Touring your house video and I loooove their knew enclosure. It's ridiculous how well they blend with the foam background, wow!

I've always wanted a reptile but it's been a tough few years for me and I'm getting my crap together, I'm 16 and jobless and my dad wouldn't wanna pay. Oh, and my cat would go nuts. Someday I'll have a scaly friend ^^

I love you guys so much and it’s making me want all the same animals you have

LOVE how this turned out! It looks awesome and I know the monitors will love it too! 💚 So happy for you guys and your new place! I know the setbacks probably suck, but it's still so close to being a reality. I wish you the absolute best during this new endeavor and am so proud to have watched you and your channel grow. You both totally deserve all the success you're having and more. Your information is great and interesting, and your personalities are so sweet and funny. Such wholesome, educational content. AND you really care about your animals and the planet. I can't say enough how much I appreciate you and your channel. Thank you! ❤

Just gotta say Emily, THAT SHIRT IS SO CUTE!!!!

It's really cool that I didn't know Timor monitors existed before I found this channel :D

It's 12:00 at night in India and I'm currently watching this video under my blanket because I'm supposed to be asleep love you guys sm!!!

You two are awesome together. Thank you for sharing. Great video and info.

How you can tell they are midwesterners: "Just pick up some sand from Menards!"

They’re so cool! I never knew you guys had them and I’d love more videos with them! :)

Lol I love Ed so much. His “womp womp” music made my day!! 💕

I’m not a big animal lover but you literally changed me and I begged my mom for a snake for Christmas and I got one :D

They blend in so well with the background, so cute!!

Thats awesome because I was literally JUST thinking a couple day ago if u were going to do a video on them & was gonna write you about it. Lol Love it!

The screwdriver was to tuck the screen back in where it had popped out of the frame.

I love how conscious and educated you are about so many things in regard to conservation and what not. It's so important and detrimental that we have this mindset. With the substrate you used, and you two culling some invasive goldfish earlier this year. It's a mentality that should be in every pet owner especially reptiles, and fish owners (especially since SO MANY people get these pets because they think it's easier than cats, or dogs but it REALLY isn't. I still shudder thinking about how many people get fish and never even think of them as living creatures).

I LOVE the green on front of the cabinet!! It looks like an arboreal light flashing across the black.. super cool!

I always love these videos, highlights of my day 🥰🥳

Ed's shirt is so true he is just one big freaking ray of sunshine

Love how the enclosure turned out and the Tumors are beautiful. You make it fun to watch with your back in forth and sound affix. GOD BLESS keep up the good work.

I have a Timor Monitor (named Blue) and I have a bioactive paludarium for him. I used a lot of the types from here for his set up. Thank you. Very helpful...especially since Timors are not very common.

I think the screwdriver was used to push the mesh back into place. The mesh isn't really attached, it's just pushed into a plastic or metal frame.

This is the best! I didn't even know you had monitors.

Great video! Loving your videos during lockdown, I get so excited when they pop up on my notifications

I LOVE that you guys care about the environment!

I’m a simple person. I see snake discovery I click

I absolutely LOVE Timor Monitors and I’m hoping to get one within the next couple of months!

Awesome job guys! It's beautiful!

Adore you both! What a gorgeous tank build! Get you some big smooth stones to surround the water dish! That's how I scape water into all my bioactive builds: big rocks are bueno!

Tinting the glass is a better option. Plus you can remove it whenever

When ever Tinley opens I’m coming JUST TO MEET YOU!!!! Ur my FAVORITE RU-vid and I wouldn’t have my snake noodle if I didn’t find you! LOVE ur vids and keep it up!!!

You can make a stencil of your logo with light plastic and an exact knife. Use like plastic from those old report covers from work and college. The clear works for temporary stencils. The thicker plastic backs work for more reusable ones. Love the Timor! You guys inspire me daily! Scaly love!!! 💚💚💚

you’ve gotten so good at editing!! love watching the bioactive enclosure setups

I've never seen a reptile drink water before, it would be cool if they made a montage of all their animals drinking.

Petition to have Ed start a recording studio for siiiiick montage music maybe called Timor Tunes?

I love you are taking into account the sustainability of different substrates!

This has been my most favourite vlogg thank you.

I had to pause for a few seconds, because Ed is wearing the best t-shirt EVER! Also, if Ed ever needs another job, pro window washers earn pretty decent money from what I have been told. Especially the ones who will do sky-scrapers. *Edit I am not even sure how to ask, but on my vacation recently, we went to an animal reserve that had some reptiles that I wondered about their lighting. They had a heat lamp, but maybe they weren't kept like that outside of business hours. I didn't notice anything wrong with the actual animals, just how they were kept during our tour. I have watched your channel enough to know UV light is needed, but not when or how much. I did notice there was no UV lights on any of the indoor enclosures we saw, and that some of the enclosures seemed super-small. I have been trying to convince myself that it was only during business hours, but there wasn't much space for better habitats for more than a very few of the animals. At one point, I thought to privately send you pics I took there, but now it's been a couple weeks, I still don't know the right thing to do. Again, the animals looked very healthy from what I have learned from your channel. Just not in the best habitats. I would still share my few pics with you, but they aren't very good, I am not remotely a pro at pics. If you want them for a more educated guess, I would like them to remain anonymous from your fans.

Timor Monitor: *thinks is gonna be set free* Emily: *brings it over to the new cage* Monitor: *jumps in* "run away" Monitor: *realises its in a new cage* Monitor: "welp, i guess ill stay here"

I love the money saving tips plus the paint holder never thought that would be a good water bowl genius!❤️

That paint roller container thing is so smart! You could definitely use that for taking care of semi - aquatic plants, and maybe even toads if you get one with the right water level! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THESE AMAZING MONEY SAVING TIPS AAAAAAH

Who can’t wait for another building update!

Ok so when you put the clay balls in I though they were *chocolate* and not clay- I had low volume on for some reason-..

awwwweee they’re so happy!!! new enclosure looks awesome 😍😍🤩

Ed is Awesome 😎. Good Job Ed! Glad you rescued these beauties they have it made.😁

Omg! I’ve wanted to see them for SO LONG! Idk if you saw my requests in the comment on my other acc (Vixen Cat) but either way I’m happy :D

Emily's money saving tips: just go to Menards.

I love your vids so much! thanks for ur info and everything!

I could not help chuckling when I saw them on the background and balancing on the front lip. My Leopard Geckos do the exact same things. I have learned over the years that topographic enrichment is so import for our reptiles and really all creatures. They love to climb and crawl and dig, so good for them.
