I was a very sensitive, sheltered little kid, who got taunted a lot for being a crybaby. I probably would have burst into tears and asked to go home while the kids all laughed and the adults all scolded me for being "spoiled". : Which, now that I think about it, is what usually happened with Easter egg hunts I participated in every year at church. To be fair, the big kids and the little kids all went at once- the adults herded us into a huge, disorganized group, counted down, and said GO. I think they got some sick pleasure out of watching us jostle for position, stampede, fall down, knock each other over, get trampled. (The especially sadistic parents made us wear our best clothes for the most sacred day of the Christian calendar, then screamed at us after the egg hunt for getting them dirty.) The big kids, the tallest and fastest, got all the eggs, while the rest of us scrats got dirt and skinned knees. The grown-ups were all "oh well, survival of the fittest, you'll be the one to get all the eggs when you get bigger", which, in hindsight, was pretty damned twisted. Not to mention ironic- picture your Sunday school teachers standing there, teaching you social Darwinism, while the mere sight of a biology textbook was liable to make them faint. After a couple years of bumps, bruises, and heartbreak, I refused to go anymore. We stuck to hunts in the backyard from then on- no bigger kids to push us down, no fancy Sunday dresses to spoil, no shrill screams for a Mommy more worried about grass stains than broken ankles. ...I think I need to go lie down for a while.

Golden egg should be a silkworm. A safe bug they can then feed to a critter. They get an "oh eew!" moment and then fun feeding experience.

Speaking as someone great with kids, I've found that those who are amazing with kids usually don't have their own! It's soo much easier to have all that energy and love for little people when you're not constantly sapped of energy from the day-to-day stuff. When you're good with kids, you get the best part of kids and their parents get the less cute stuff like tantrums and messes. Speaking as someone who's been the favorite aunt for many, many years, I've been beloved by the little people in my life as the fun, "pays attention to me"/"does stuff with me" aunt. Now that I've adopted one of my nephews; and to be clear, despite having no plans for 2-legged children of my own, I love him and give him everything he needs and more, I still get the rotten parts of the "having kids" stuff: dirty diapers, him getting into everything, his absolute meltdowns at the smallest things- like being told not to chew on his dang sippy cup tops just breaks his little heart and then I feel like mean mom, even though he totally shouldn't be chewing on the freakin' sippy cup tops! Parenting is exhausting. And knowing how devoted they are to their animals and the fact that the zoo is their baby and they're busy, busy, busy, I very much doubt they will have any human kids. Either way, it's totally their choice and it's really a private matter.

**Suggestions for Halloween:** 1.) Turn all the lights either really low, or orange and maybe purple, and place candy bowls in front of some enclosures for trick or treating! 2.) As you have been working on, do a nighttime flashlight tour with no lights on at all! 3.) Make the zoo into a haunted house! Cobwebs to crawl under or step over, creepy tunnels to go through, fun spooky lights, the whole 9 yards!

That's one place actual interaction with animals - also Sharon - can happen. We really don't want anything dangerous or otherwise going into that tank. I can easily go on forever. I AM a wet blanket: safety first! Eye on the side of safety. Always have a larger number of staff than customer ratio on anything scary or dark.

Don’t always expect the most out of the most appealing option, don’t always look for the “shiner” options in life just because you think it looks appealing. The smallest things bring the greatest joy in life not the biggest or the prettiest.

One thing I learned making programs for kids at a nonprofit: make a detailed record of what you did to prep for the event, for the event, and specifically what you would have improved on. That way next year you have a record of what went right and what can be done better. More detailed than this video. Maybe even make note of what date you should start prepping for it so it doesn’t sneak up on you. It’s also handy because if it’s a good enough record someone else can take over the project next year or the year after and use your notes from the last year or two as a guide.

Red, White, and Zoo with Snake Discovery!!! How about for the 4th of July decorating the enclosures with window stickers and sticking to an all American red, white, and blue decor theme. Maybe if the parking lot permitted, you could have a zoo animal summer party! A few animals could be out to enjoy some sun and the kids could play with chalk, bubbles, and maybe you could set up a few carnival games. You could do raffles with prizes or a spin the wheel for them. Popcorn, hot dogs, and/or a barbecue style meal could be a special ticket to buy or a la carte.

Yup. I looked it up. I was going for a fear of some type of reptile not thinking about bunnies at all. That'll teach me not to remember my Greek names! They didn't seem to have many bunny items out now that I think about it. Huh...

Maybe picnics in the zoo for the 4th? And/or a light show in/on the building? For Halloween, you could do a trunk-or-treat type thing. Its where you set up different stations with carnival games where kids can win prizes and candy! At the schools I've worked at, we also turn it into a fundraiser with a cake walk or a raffle. Don't be afraid to ask teachers/schools near you for ideas on how to celebrate holidays in a fun kid friendly way!

For the 4th's idea, what about a movie on the side of their building? People are usually out late because you can't start any of the fireworks until after dark and it's not dark enough until after 9 pm in July.

If it were up to Ed hiding all the eggs you would be finding eggs in random places for months lol

Love your videos so much! Long time fan here! Y'all are the reason I got my first snake (hognose) 2 years ago. Keep doing what you do but make sure to also take breaks and vacations❤. Thanks for all you do putting in effort and thought, and making people smile!!

Have you conciderd makes a round where the eggs beep so that blind and low vision kids can join too? Or would that bee too stressful on the reptiles. I don't want that but I also know its nice to be included

I added a comment about making it more inclusive for people with disabilities too. I know that there are many types of disabilities, but then why not a full day of different hours for people with different types of abilities? People are most often not completely deaf or blind but they need different environments. Low light to find objects and low sounds around them for the beaping eggs if in more difficult hiding places. Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you want it to be completely simple - at least for certain ages. Hopefully if they ever do something like this, they'll ask you for ideas.

Emily's comment on the gold egg; me; wow, that's just pure evil. awesome!

Wow the Easter event seems really fun!

I’ve been waiting for this to come out, lol

This is such a cute video! Did I get tears in my eyes watching the kiddos with Doug? Yes. Absolutely. It was THE most adorable part of the video.

It was amazing to get to really see you in your element like this Emily, I can't wait until I can come up to see the zoo in person!

Who else saw the moment that Emily knew it why it could be a bad idea to put one in the zoo enclosure, kids be crazy. Lol

You guys are the best!

glad everyone had a great time egg hunting! also, you say the leftover chocolate bunnies are for employees, but you really mean they're for Emily (we're onto you!) seriously though, it's a great idea to do events like this! not only does it get more people interested in coming to the zoo, but it also is great PR!

Lol, did you notice that when Emily was putting the prizes in the 'big prize' tub, one of the boxes was empty? She thought she was being sneaky, but we know her too well by now. XD (Not like I have a nose for sniffing out empty boxes so I can avoid them. Nope, not me... 😂)

You all are amazing! Thanks for the amazing content, Snake Discovery. I recently was able to come to your zoo! 9+ hours of driving later, we arrived at your zoo and like 23+ hours in total. It was a blast, and I hope to see your zoo again in time for a holiday/big event at Snake Discovery. This must've been so fun to host.

You don’t need to apologize for the video we enjoy all videos you put out. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. You won us over for your love of reptiles and how kind and fun your personalities are. We are here for all the content you put out

Why do you make me laugh so much you are like the funniest channel out there

Oooo yay I was dying of boredom doing finals. so glad for an upload 🥰

When you guys first got the building I used to look on your Chanel everyday for a new building update video, and i stoped watching because life got super busy, and it’s so crazy to see how you guys finished the building, love your videos!

As for holiday programs, I always loved running story time for any special occasio. and we did special 'spooky animal stories' themed guided tour (for us, it was things like the death's head and black witch moths, both of which have been seen as omens of death)

This is one of the only educational channels that is actually fun to watch, it’s the best!

Let's! Think Clint's Reptiles and Wicken's Wicked Reptiles is also fairly entertaining - and fun! LoL Kamp Kenan is a good choice too. I'll stop here but there are more out there. All of the reptile youtubers that Ed and Emily had on for their pre-Zoo-opening bio-active enclosure making contest are great examples of fun/entertaining/educational channels. If you haven't seen the contest, please do! So much fun!

You guys are so much fun. We love it soooo much

Ed was having way too much chaotic fun with this and I stand for it

I am from Germany and we have a museum that hast open one day in the vacation for children in the night. Maybe that could be a great idea for you to, because the children can learn and see more about the nocturnal animals as well.

You guys are amazing! It’s the 26 over here in Texas, but I would love to go to where you guys are and look at the zoo! Love y’all! ❤️❤️

You guys are awesome! This was amazing of you to host a hunt!

You guys are just amazing! Your care and advocacy for the animals combined with your passion for education and community are to be commended.

Awe this entire video made me smile so big the entire time!!! All these kids were so polite and sweet, and how happy people were to get something big! Love your videos so much, keeping doing that you do!!!

As someone who works with kids, it's so heartwarming seeing the kids have fun with the easter egg hunt. U guys are amazing for making these kind of events

One. I love your channel you guys are awesome Hi

I love that there is a random bug(dubia?) running around on the left in both scenes before round 3 when they are sitting stuffing eggs.. lol.

Such cute kiddos💕💕 Ed is so devious 😂

This video actually made me SO happy!! I'm so very happy the zoo is successful and that you guys are not only having your dream but benefitting your local community and fans also! This is everything I've loved Snake Discovery since 2017 or maybe earlier for! Great job Emily and Ed!

Love you guys, such a great channel
