Our Tricolor Hognose Laid Eggs! *New Species for Us!* 

The number and variety of eggs this year shows how happy and comfortable your snakes are. The zoo is clearly a huge success from a husbandry angle. Keep it up!

2020 was the year of weird babies (twins, two head snakes) 2021 was the year of no one really wanting to breed 2022 is the year of amazing surprise eggs!

I am starting to feel like Emily and Ed are actually unlocking zoo hidden quests of new species eggs 😂😂 super excited and Happy to see the reptiles feel totally comfortable at your zoo, so many of them starting to lay eggs like they are on their natural habitat!! cant wait to see so many different baby noodles this year☺️☺️

The fact that almost more of your snakes from enclosures in the zoo bread unexpectedly then the ones you intentionally tried to breed just shows how amazing your enclosures are and how they really do replicate what the animal would experience in the wild so much to the point where they can breed naturally

Emily: "We have NO MORE space in the incubator." Also Emily: Keeps finding space in the incubator.

Can you imagine if Abby never found those eggs, and one day they woke up to TEN baby tricolors??

I’m so glad this year was so fruitful in terms of snake eggs!! It’s so fun to watch each of these clutched be laid and be exited for each to hatch. Also can totally tell how excited Emily is for this clutch and it’s adorable.

I Can’t wait until the eggs hatch!!! So excited to see how they look!😊

At this rate we're going to have 20 baby videos coming out, I'm here for it! Be born quicker little ones!!

That incubator is most DEFINITELY Time Lord technology!! :) Getting so excited for the babies to come.. feels like we should have been seeing some already :D Congrats on the brand new species lay.. Its gonna be fun watching you two with your newborns ^-^ Also Happy very late Birthday Ed :)

I would've ran laps around the facility full of happiness! Congrats you guys!

Theme is SoMe for sure :) My daughter and I love to watch your videos together. Thank you for keeping us entertained and teaching us lots!

The tardis of incubators always has room. I'm still surprised everytime you fit more. Yay babies!! Soooo many babies. Cannot wait to see how many of them hatch 😍

It’s such a tease seeing all of these egg videos and knowing that’s they’ve all hatched by now. I need to see the babies!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

That so awesome i cant wait for them to hatch! Oh will you be making a tricolor hognose care guide

I can't wait to see the hatching videos coming out! Counting the days already 🤩

I misread the title as “Our Hognose had Tricolored Eggs” and was slightly disappointed when the eggs were not, in fact, tricolored🤣

With the amount of eggs they've had this year, Ed and Emily better get that fridge ready for next clutch season for even the TARDIS magic from the incubator cant handle more 😂

God you are gonna have so many baby snakes. ONE YEAR I will get on your waitlist for a snek baby! So excited for the hatching videos!

Social media eggs!!! Such a pretty species!! Can't wait to see the babies.

The eggs are social media themed!!! In order: Facebook, google +, Linked in, Twitter, insta, snap, tiktok, reddit, youtube! So excited for this clutch!!!

Its obvious you guys have made an environment so comfortable and safe that everything has gotten so relaxed that they have felt like breeding. Grats, guys! so wholesome.

Hi I came across your channel just a little while ago and I'm so impressed I love your videos ❤

Congrats Ed!

Really excited for egg cuttings this year, so many new species

those eggs were buried good. would've been hilarious if they never got found and hatched in there and one day you just find a wee baby tricolor staring at you

The amount of egg laying videos has me so excited for the hatching videos 😇

i can not WAIT for the egg hatching videos!! so much variation and so many of them

Now I feel weird for saying after the slow egg year last year "I hope next year Emily and Ed get all the eggs they have space for..." I didn't think you were going to have a TARDIS as an incubator!

You guys have really got me into reptiles and mantids. Me and my brother are getting a ghost and your videos greatly help me. I really hope one day I can go to your zoo and meet you. You have influenced so many people on how to do a rack system properly and just in general. I love your videos and I can not tell you how much I know now than what I did before. I've watched your videos since I was 7 on Epic in the computer room. Now, we've gone to the N.A.R.B.C expo in Arlington 3 times and hopefully this September. (Happy birthday you guys)

I like that we're getting all these egg collecting videos from May, in June/July. By the time we catch up on those, it'll be time for the babies to hatch, and the collection video will still be fresh in our memories.

i love this channel and how good the zoo is even though i can’t go there it still sounds awesome

I love the egg videos, but I’m on the edge of my seat every week thinking we are getting a hatching video!! Soo looking forward to those

Having so many eggs being laid in the zoo enclosures just proves they love their new homes. How awesome to get feedback from the reptiles like this. Good job you guys!

It's very entertaining when you guys aren't sure if there will be enough space in the incubator and then you just make more room

this is actually so cool, I've been researching tricolors because I have to write an article for an animal for science (in school) and you happen to just get tricolor eggs. Also really big fan of your videos :)

Now we really are excited for the egg cutting this year!! Congratulations Ed and Emily!! Oh forgot to add my answer: Application logos

I remember back in the days..when they tried to breed tricolour hognose snake...and Emily told that they had 2 males...and now they are actually having babies God I am excited for this year's clutches ❤️

Happy birthday Ed!!!!

Me too 🐍!Cute little baby snakes

The theme is social media... And I wish I could have some of the hognoses here in Australia. The tricolour is absolutely gorgeous and I love the lavender one. I can't wait to see some baby snakes hatching, definitely my favourite vids.

2022 - SO MANY EGGS! I know you normally put up each clutch hatching individually... But I also think once they're all hatched you should make one huge 'Baby Bonanza Special' video! I'll get the popcorn ready 🍿😅

Happy birthday Ed!

Omg congrats!

Just imagine after Ed and Emily find room for tricolor snake eggs, and after a few minutes........ We have more eggs😅

Can't wait to see the first set of babies!! Also just found out I got married on Ed's birthday! Happy belated Birthday Ed xx

Congratulations

So cute and fun to play with

01:00 This is a sure sign of how well you two care for your zoo inhabitants: They are breeding naturally! Yaaaay!!!! :D :)

Every egg laying video I’m like there’s no way they’re going to fit more eggs in there. And you do 😂

Happy birthday to you Ed

Thanks!

I clicked and it said “6s” since upload! I’ve never been this early!

It’s so exciting to see everyone adjusting well enough to feel comfortable to breed!

I caught a grass snake today! And she’s pregnant so I made her a nice and comfy container (ofc she can breathe) and I’m keeping her till she gives birth! Then I’ll keep the babies and then let her go so the babies will be more used to me and won’t be as scared it’s kinda like taming them (I’m pretty sure that grass snakes give live birth)

Ahhh can't wait for the hatching!

Kinda worried about the incubator being too tightly packed so that heat won't circulate around all of the containers 😬 fingers crossed 🤞

Ed: “I’m not going to interject while you’re drawing” Emily: “Ooo-ooo”

My favourite type of snake in the zoo laid eggs!!! Im so happy for those 10 lucky hognoses Time for my question: Have you ever hatched a snake with like two different patterns like smothered and speckled?

who else is excite for when every upload is a hatching video?!!

Emily, have you considered candling your reptile eggs? I was just thinking that if this clutch might have been on the older side, candling would show if any are fertile or have died already.

I'm so excited! There are just more and more egg videos coming! Which means there are just gonna be more and more babies. That's just perfect

Good for you 😍

Oh HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED! :)

There’s SOOOO many new species this year! So excited for the babies!

Yay! Another round of "Will these fit in the incubator"!

The magical all fitting incubator will fit the WHOLE years breeding program

Y'all are kiiiiilllliiinnnnngggg meeee with that incubator lmao

Happy birthday to Ed, and very excited for possible tricolour babies

I love your videos!

Happy birthday Ed and I love your Channel Ed and Emily I love your channel so much

I really loved that music during you moving eggs into their containers. Was great.

That's so exciting! It must make you so happy that you're providing these animals with such good husbandry that they're breeding. ☺️

Easy! It's social media: FB, Google, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, Reddit, and RU-vid. Can't wait to see them hatch😁

You guys should get Ring-Necked rat snakes! (not a-lot of info about them but its there!) (habitats!) Ring-neck snakes can be found in virtually any habitat but seem to prefer wooded areas. In the Piedmont and Coastal Plain ring-necks are particularly common in moist areas including river floodplains, moist hardwood forests, and wetland edges. (egg info) A female ringneck can lay between 2 to 10 oval eggs that are about the size of a penny during the months of June or July. Multiple females have been found laying their eggs together under an ideal log. Like most reptiles, the young are born completely independent and don't need any parental care. (life info) Ringneck snake care begins with a proper cage. That means a 10-gallon cage with a mesh top that will stop the snake from escaping. These snakes require plenty of hiding places, so things like hollowed logs and caves are necessary to prevent the snake from feeling stressed. (size and description) Ringneck snakes are small -- 10 - 15 in (25 - 38 cm) -- slender snakes that are generally grayish with a yellow or orange band around the back of the neck and a yellow or orange underside. (their rarity type) Ringneck snakes are secretive reptiles. Largely due to their small size and nocturnal nature, they are rarely seen and presumed to be uncommon. However, one study conducted in Kansas suggests that they exist at densities greater than 700 - 1800 per hectare (what they eat) The diet of the ring-necked snake consists primarily of smaller salamanders, earthworms, and slugs, but they also sometimes eat lizards, frogs, and some juvenile snakes of other species. The frequency at which prey species are chosen is dependent on their availability within the habitat.

You should name the dad Buzz Lightyear! He loves himself to infinity and beyond!

Wow this is so exciting I can’t wait for these eggs to hatch / oh and the theme of the eggs is apps

Happy birthday Ed :)

Happy birthday Ed

I can’t wait for baby tricolours! They’ve been one of my favourites since I found your channel back in like 2018. Fingers crossed all babies hatch healthy

Don't worry Ed, you'll still be a decade younger than me, and you can always go and laugh at Rex for being older too! Happy Birthday (belated)

Oooooo a social media theme! I love it.

Facebook, Google+, Linked In, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Reddit, RU-vid. Theme was Social media Sites, or Internet Sites! I can’t wait to see all the egg cutting videos this year! You guys r the best and i wish you all the happiness in the world!

Nice to see that they are so happy with all the eggs! Every egg is special for them! Lovely couple 💑

I love your vids so much

Wow!! You got so many eggs! There is going to be a baby overload! Cant wait to see who else decides to lay unexpectedly! :)

It's crazy to think how many snakes have hatched already, and there are just so many laying videos that they're super backed up haha

Happy birthday 🎂

I love and I got a hognose snake thanks to you

So happy for you with all your snake babies!

Good afternoon Emily & Ed! I think the theme of the eggs is social media. You guys really got me in to reptiles and mantids at only 6yo. Now I have a boa constrictor of my own at only 8yo. Her name is Mango. She is a Sharp/Strain Albino BCI. She is about 7 months old. And I was thinking about getting a bearded dragon and/or a fat tailed gecko or a hognose. So I am doing a lot of research on Google, Reptile sites and stores online, Your channel, and many other channels.😊 And I think I might start (Maybe just maybe🙄🙏) ( If my mom even LETS ME!😡) breeding some fat tails or maybe some hogs but not right now, I think I will maybe breed some reptiles in 2-4 years from now. I hope you guys have a great summer!

Apps and you are awesome!

Can't wait until they hatch

I can't wait to see these babies when they come out!

Do they lay so many clutches in a year because they’re such short lived species compared to other snakes? So cool, congrats to you guys!

My birthday is also May 21st! I love your guys videos!!

My favourite snake

Holy cow, more eggs! I can't wait for them all to hatch!

I am so excited so many new species!!!! And cute babies!!!!! Emily and Ed you guys did a great job on the facility!!!

Happy early birthday Ed !
