Unboxing Tiny Snakes and a Beautiful Boa! 

Tyne here. Thank you Emily for taking in Onyxia! We appreciate it so much! You are the best! Can't wait to come and visit to see her again.

It appears Onyxia can’t stop staring at her reflection through that camera lens. Can’t blame her, she’s oozes beauty!

Can we take a minute to talk about what great owners the Onyxia’s old family is? 🥰

The fact that Ed inadvertently named her means this all just came full circle

The fact Onyxia is such a unique (and likely expensive morph), a healthy size, microchipped, and has a vet record... you can tell she was so loved and cared for. I’m sad for the owners, they must be missing her... but I’m glad she can be used for education and now sooo many people will get to know her!

Onyxia is what I imagine black dragons to look like, colour-wise

If it is possible for snakes to know how pretty they are, Onyxia knows. She totally knows.

The fact that Onyxia's tail can hold all her weight, that's incredible.

I need an iridescent sticker of Onyxia now. It would be one of the most appropriate designs to make iridescent. She's GORGEOUS.

As an australian, I hear "red bellied snake" and immediately think "NO DON'T TOUCH IT" But clearly yours are way cuter and less spicy than ours 😂

I'm not even kidding, when Onyxia came out of that bag it literally took my breath away. I stopped breathing for a solid 30 seconds and just STARED at her -- what a beauty. Gosh I want one

I love the fact that the owners loved her enough to mail the bell separately. To not have it constantly ringing next to her. She is gorgeous and so sweet 🖤🖤🖤

She seems like she is well socialized and is used to handled, in addition to being well cared for by previous owners.

That boa is amazing. You rarely see iridescence show up well on camera but she looks so cool. I can only imagine how great she looks in person.

Onyxia is legit the most beautiful snake I have ever seen! Her previous owners did such an amazing job looking after her!

Hearing Emily say all the babies will be lavender just reminds me of the times they've had surprise genetics in their clutches.

As a fellow reptile lover, this channel makes me happy. Currently holding my blue eyed lucy, Floki. We got him from an owner who sadly kept him in a cardboard box without any proper care. Safe to say he is 5 years old, happy and healthy now :)

It sounds like Onyxia was very very well looked after by her previous owners it mustve been heartbreaking to have to give her up :(

If I remember it correctly you got a snake named Saurfang and now a Onyxia. Seems like a whole collection of Warcraft names is appearing xD

Oh no, only 5 minutes in and Onyxia has become one of my top biases in Snake Discovery.. She is just superbly gorgeous.. My heart was literally screaming "Gezz, i definitely need to see and hold her in person" 😍

You don’t know how great you are. I went to go pick up my new fish and the lady started talking about her hog nose snake. Then we started talking about your channel, and then the owner came up to us and said, “are you talking about snake discovery?” Your channel is not only good for kids (I am a kid), but it is also good for adults.

Onyxia is the most beautiful snake! I can't even with how pretty she is. Man... her old owners must have been heartbroken having to give her up. I'm glad they'll still be able to see her from time to time though. The perk of having your snake adopted by Emily and Ed.

Onyxias previous owners seem to have taken such good care of her, they bell trained her and she seems so friendly and social. I love itt

That black holo snek is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while

I was very scared of reptiles until I found this channel so Snake Discovery has changed my life because now I want a reptile.

You can tell how much Onyxia's old owners loved her. Microchiped and everything. Hopefully they can find another snake/pet to give the same love to in the UK.

That boa is literally getting blue shades in light on her scales , she is beautiful

It's actually so sweet hearing all the things Onyxia's parents set up for her previously! From the chip to the extensive records- maybe it's commonplace for snakes that aren't bought from a breeder (aka rehomed) but it's making me smile !!

You know, I'm starting to think these guys like snakes.

Onyxia kinda stole my breath when Emily took her out... she's so beautiful 😍

They can just crash on you unexpectedly... that’s something that’s known to happen with: *proceeds to name all three of my favorite kinds of snakes*

That boa is gorgeous. Once she's settled in, you should get some video of her out in full sunlight. The iridescence was coming through just under the artificial light so in the sun she'd probably look like an opal or something. Normally I like wild type natural patterns on snakes, but the IMG morph is just so incredible.

Seeing that snake in the bag was just like staring into a black hole. love how iridescent and curious she is. I am predicting she'll be one for the classic "Is this fud?" / "You bring fud?" tags in future videos.

Every Australian watching had a mini heart attack when she said “red bellies” xD

Your channel is a life saver, literally, you guys have taught me about different snakes and that has ended up saving multiple snakes’ lives when they end up in my pool, just today we got a baby corn snake in our pool, and everyone said it was a copperhead but I knew better. The baby corn snake we released thanks you!

I used to be so terrified of snakes to the point where I could barely even look at pictures of them but one day, I don’t even know why, I decided to watch one of these videos and now I think they are so cute. I don’t know if I’d be able to touch or hold one but I love looking at them.

I was absolutely breathless when you showed Onyxia. She is the most beautiful snake I've ever seen!

Onyxia is absolutely stunning!! I love that the camera actually picked up her iridescence, she looks like the most beautiful oil spill ever 🥰

this channel is honestly my comfort channel it makes me so happy when you upload new videos

Snake Discovery : giving heart attacks to their Australian viewers since 2015. Today's edition: "these are some red bellies" Literally every Aussie in the audience will have had an instictive "NO!!!!" reaction, before realising that your idea of a red belly is a very, very different, non-bite-y, non-deadly snake, not of the red bellied black snake variety.

the fact that the red belly babies can co-hab with the dekays means the huge mansion upgrade they got is gonna pay off sooner than you thought!

Its hilarious to me that if u were in Australia and said 'red belly snake' you'd mean one of the most venomous snakes in the country

Onyxia is super gorgeous! What beautiful iridescence! 💖 The tiny red-bellied snakes were so cute, and the lavender male looks fantastic! It's fascinating to see how kind of 'powdery' they look with that lovely tint of purple 💜

I legit got goosebumps when she took out Onyxia. She's so stunning.

Emily: Onyxia is so curious! THE TRUTH Onyxia: I see something beautiful in your eyes Ed: Thank you- Onyxia: My reflection SAVAGE MODE ACTIVATED

I heard "delivered by fedex" and instantly my brain went to spins-mcgee. I'm glad you haven't seen that personage again, spinning reptile boxes and when you tell him what's in them going "oh cool!"

I love seeing those IMG ones. Absolutely stunning! She looks like oil, black with a hidden rainbow inside

Wow! The black female snake, has such a beautiful scales I could see the blue in her aww

Wow Onyxia is beautiful! Absolutely S T U N N I N G And the red bellies are so ADORABLE! I cant-

I was immediately wondering if they're gonna breed Onyxia because I'd love to see the babies transition in color as they grew, but I also wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to

Red bellies are my favorite snake! I'm from Northwest Iowa and growing up I found tons of these snakes in my area! Not every year, but when I did see some it was usually a couple every year. One year my dad found a large one, and she was a gravid female and we found out they were live bearers! I would love to keep some captive bred Northern Red Bellies, they are such a prominent snake of my life and bring me such joy as such sweet little snakes.

Emily’s voice straight up dropped an octave when she said “OH MY GOD ITS SO CUTE.”

Onyxia’s puppy-looking face I can’t- 😂😫🖐

As an Australian, associating the word “Red belly” with snake brings up a lot of red flags.

Suggestions: to be name the red bellies “roadrunner” -grey and “Coyote”-brown :)

I have a package to send you guys, but I didn't get it mailed out before my elbow surgery... I'll try to get it sent out sometime this week!! I think you'll BOTH enjoy it!! :) (No live animals included, promise, lol. ...or dead ones. xD)

Hardly anyone will see this but I just wanted to say thank you because the reason that I wake up in the morning currently lives in a 15 gallon in my room his name is Jupiter and he is a baby grey banded king snake he’ll be a year old this August and I can’t wait to see him grow❤️❤️

Everything about Onyxia just SCREAMS badassery and beauty vibes. Her color scheme is breathtaking!

There better be an Onyxia feeding video after she's done quarantine, that would be glorious haha But man, those owners loved the heck out of her by getting her microchipped and such. Shame they weren't able to keep her, but at least now people can oggle at her beauty and such

Wow can't believe I've been gone for 10 months! Corona was a wild ride. Good to be back! So glad to see you guys are still thriving! 😊♡

"You dare look upon the daughter of Deathwing!" -- Onyxia, probably.

I feel for her previous owners, having to let go of Onyxia must have been so hard and they clearly adored her. I'm glad she went to you guys, so they can see their beautiful baby and know she's well taken care of!!

Onyxia is absolutely stunning, I can’t even imagine how good the iridescence looks in-person!

I'm so happy I found your channel a couple weeks ago!! I'm not afraid of snakes but if I encountered one suddenly in the tall grass, mostly garter snakes, it will startle me and I will run away. I could never have a snake, so I'm sorta living vicariously through you and Ed! :) I've enjoyed going back and watching all your videos and learning more and more about snakes-- I even started painting small portraits of snakes and its been so fun! I hope to have a whole rainbow of snake portraits even if their colors don't entirely exist in the wild. :)

Onyxia made me gasp out loud. Such a stunning girl.

That Boa is insanely beautiful. And as you guys said - a camera can´t really do it justice so I can imagine how amazing she looks irl.

Onyxia is definitely my favourite 😍 about 6 or 7 years ago, my mum was getting me my first snake (my absolute dream pet) for my birthday. We live in Australia so it was a beautiful male diamond python, and I had named him Onyx after the reptile shop owner (who seemed really nice at the time) mentioned the name when we were talking about me taking Onyx home and my mum was organising all the things we needed and adding up the overall cost (which ended up being about $600 for the snake and around $700 for the handmade enclosure the owner suggested, not including the snake hook, lights, food, my snake licence and more). He offered to hold the snake whilst my snake licence was going through and I was waiting for it to be delivered in the mail. The enclosure turned up and was horrible. It had nails sticking out the bottom (the sharp end too, not the head of the nail), the thermostats didn’t work anymore and the whole thing was pretty busted up. We were obviously quite disappointed but were prepared to fix it up with some help from family to make it habitable for Onyx. I tried not to let the enclosure get me down because I was so excited to get my boy home. I had done tons of research and was ready for this experience. Finally my licence had arrived in the mail and we tried to contact the shop owner who was holding Onyx for us (at a cost of $50 a week) until I had my reptile licence. We tried contacting him and waiting for him to respond. Then contacting again in case he didn’t see the message. He never replied. He took Onyx, he took our money, he didn’t even give us an explanation. He offloaded a crappy enclosure to us and made us pay for it, as well as charging us $50 a week for a snake that would only be costing maybe $5 a week for a fuzzy frozen thawed mouse, which he had actually said directly to us, that housing the snake wouldn’t cost much after the initial purchase of all the necessities, besides of course the electricity to run their lights and purchase their food (or of course vet bills if needed in the future, but you know what I mean haha 😅). It was honestly devastating. I felt the loss of an animal I cared about before even having him in my care. I’d gotten to meet Onyx a few times and he was absolutely wonderful. I was so grateful that I would have this wonderful animal in my life and then it was just taken without a word. It’s easier now but it’s still a lingering anger that this person would do that to a 15/16 year old and her mother who was scrounging up every dollar to pay for it. The dude ended up closing his reptile store and opening a gelato ice cream smoothie bar or something 😂😂😂 I just want to say I’m so glad to see people like Emily and Ed who actually love these reptiles and care about the people they’re going to when they sell as well. They’re reliable and caring and it’s amazing. ❤️

Please, for your deaf and hard of hearing fans, please add captions to your videos. I always want to watch when they're newly published but I cannot due to this. Thanks!! Huge fan ♥️

I swear, I interrupt other videos I’m watching when I see a snake discovery notification 😂. That boa is GORGEOUS too 😭

That Boa. Onyxia. My word. I wants one. Edit. I would also microchip this snake if I had one. Still drooling. Good naming, Ed. And so fitting that this beautiful snake made her way to you.

Her name reminds me of Onyxia the brood mother of the black dragon clan in World of Warcraft. Perfect!

Wow she is such a well cared for snake! Excited to see the babies grow and im just blown away by how gorgeous that gene combo is!

First a Saurfang, now an Onyxia? How could these names get any better 🖤

“I am addicted to buying to snakes online”-someone on a tlc channel probably

I feed my redbellies mostly frozen thawed black field slugs off the end of coffee stir sticks, and they are thriving in their bioactive planted tank for over a year now. They've doubled in size and are not shy... saw some courtship behaviour recently so hopefully babies are on the way! Not a beginner snake, but definitly one of my favorite species... so sweet and gentle. Love the channel!

A neighbour saved a red belly from a lawn mower and brought her to us. She gave birth to 14 of the tiniest babies I've ever seen. They were the size of a thumbnail

Emily: *Opens box* Me: MORE DEKAYS?!?! Emily: Red bellied snakes! Me: oh... well then- 😶

I can’t wait for all of the facility to be open

The IMF motley literally blew my mind and made me smile so big my face still hurts l. It's almost criminal for anything to be THAT GORGEOUS

Onyxia is GORGEOUS!!! As soon as you pulled her out, I was like "OMG she's is beautiful!! Love her!!😊

That black snake is jaw dropping gorgeous

I'm still hoping that you'll look into doing Moonstone (lavender/ super arctic) hognoses down the line. Cause that's a super duper stunning morph.

Omg Onyxia you’re so stunning!! And your curious face is so cute💗💗Immediately your cuteness melts my heart❤️

I liked at the end how the cute brownish hognose wanted to come out. Their little faces are so cute

Im gonna miss Safiya and Tyler's livestream but it's worth it for this

I find it fascinating that the snake world and the World of Warcraft community are so close; previously Saurfang and now Onyxia! Both are great names for snakes xD

Omg Onyxia is STUNNING. And the little red bellies are adorable! I can’t believe how small the babies are. I can’t wait to see all this year’s babies!

My jaw literally dropped when you unboxed Onyxia, such an absolutely GORGEOUS snake!! 😍😍😍

This channel has not only taught me about reptiles and had me wanring my own, it has introduced me to an awesome book series! Im currently up to “The Brightest Night” in the wimgs of fire series. Thanks Emily!

IM SOO EXCITED TO SEE THE ZOO FULLY DONEE AND I LOVE YOUR SNAKES WE LEARNED ABOUT VERTABRATES AND NON TODAY

Same Emily! I'm excited for all!!

I love how Anexsia looks like she has a rainbow all the way down her she’s gorgeous

Onyxia is beautiful! I hope this pandemic is over soon because I live near Wisconsin and would love to see her in person at the facility! 😍🐍

Words can’t describe how stunning Onyxia looks even on camera! The color is insane! I am partial to hognoses, though, and that lavender male is quite the little looker.

Aww she's really curious and handleable! Beautiful girl!❤

It's amazing how much some people care for their sneks ❤ Absolutely love the Boa!!! But the lavender hognose boy is super cute too!!! Great Video as always 👍👌👏🐍💯🥳

Hey I want to say thank you I used to be scared of snakes and reptiles but after I found this channel you guys have really changed my life now I love reptiles thank you 🙏

omg i didn’t even realize it was breeding season again. quarantine has felt so long but somehow time went by so fast

those tiny red bellied snakes make me so nostalgic... I used to see them all the time in our yard in the upper peninsula of Michigan! I loved how they were different colors... tan, brown grey, and blackish. so cute!!

Onyxia is the prettiest Boa I have ever seen. Just gorgeous.
