Ed: “Iowa’s largest frying pan?!” Emily: “No we’re on a time cru-“ Emily: “That is one big frying pan”

I vote 100 pins. Considering you have hundreds of thousands of fans that don't even get to go to the shows, they're still pretty darn exclusive.

Personally I think giving out 100 pins instead of 50 is the best option. Splitting it across two days doesn't really change how many people get, and if you consider that a person might get two it decreases it.

i actually loved that they detoured to go see the frying pan 🤣

As someone who has sold at conventions that have nothing to do with reptiles, the delight over having your own trash can and power was the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen.

Hi, on the off-chance someone from the team sees this, I just want to say your community on KZfaq adores you, and if you ever need to change your video schedule, post a video every other week, or once month, or every couple of months, or never again, we love you and we understand. I can't imagine how busy and exhausted you must be managing a facility, caring and breeding so many reptiles and rodents, and maintaining a twice-weekly KZfaq schedule. That is so many different jobs! We care about you more than the product you make, so please prioritize yourself a bit. Thank you for being amazing educators, you have touched so many lives!

So nice meeting you guys! Next time lmk if you want to be shown around by a stl native :)

I had a customer come in the other day who is getting either a crested gecko or a gargoyle gecko (can't remember what she said) and after hearing that I asked her if she watches your channel, and then we had a long conversation about your videos. She's the first person outside of a friend of mine that watches your channel that I've talked to. It was really cool. Hope I can eventually make it up to see the zoo in person or even meet y'all at events like this. That would be awesome.

Ed is so sweet. Happy to see a giant frying pan, I wish more people could appreciate life like Ed.

I say give out 100 on both days. That way it gives fans a chance to get them if they can only come on the 2nd day. Plus I think you have enough fans that 200 pins would still go pretty quickly. I understand the exclusivity but 200 out of the thousands of fans you have is still pretty exclusive!

Increase the pin quantity. I don't think people would mind them being less of a limited edition since most are going to little kids.

Emily to me the day before the show: we’ll borrow a staff member if we need it :) Emily 3 minutes into the show, panickedly slamming her hands down on our table: HELP Happy to lend you Sean 😂 It’s why I brought extra staff 😉

I love how these two are always surprised at how quick their special pins go. I bet they could give out 500 and still have them be gone rapidly :P It's because we love you two! you're sweet and bright and innocent and have that purity of joy that is so hard to find sometimes.

I vote 100 pins so more people can get some since they go so fast now. A great episode guys. I have learned you need to bring extra staff and a lot more merch. Keep up all the amazing work you all do. Thanks again for being amazing role models to everyone.

I love snake discovery so much because of their hard work. You’re telling me they do a full days job of selling sales to customers, AND remembering to record for KZfaq videos, AND passing out pins, AND talking to kids with high energy all day? With a smile on their faces? I love them so much and love seeing them drink *spicy* water at the end of the video. Y’all deserve all the love

I'm in the bunny hat when they zoom in on waldo! (9:37) The show was awesome and Emily and Ed were super sweet :)

I think over 100 would be perfectly reasonable! I don’t think the value is in the limited edition-ness as much as it is in the memories in meeting you while receiving it! And they are simply adorable too. You also have almost 3 million fans so the percentage of fans that have a pin even if you do 200 is ~extremely~ small 🤣 like finding two shiny Pokémon in a row kind of odds

💚You will never see this. But I need to tell you how much you’ve improved my life. I look forward to every single one of your videos and have learned SO much from the both of you. I was here before Ed was comfortable in front of the camera, the first videos of Shyanne, and the first time we got to meet Rex. Thank you for the amazing years of knowledge and laughs. 💚

ed and emily: **films in front of pride flags** me: “…for me?” 🥺 no but like srsly seeing my two favorite youtubers just slightly including my community in their content rlly made my day, i know it might not have been planned, but thank you

I didn't stand in line to meet you guys, but it was fun seeing you guys there filming and meeting fans!

13:25 "she remembered my name" made me cackle🤣 Ed is so stinking funny!!

“No we don’t need to see that, we’re on a time crunch!” ~literally .5 seconds later Ed is standing in front of the giant frying pan~ 🤣🤣 I love this channel it never fails to entertain me

I have genuinely loved watching Ed grow comfortable on camera. His personality shows so much now and y’all’s relationship is just amazing😊

We were there in heavily pinned hats! “It would be funny if that long line were for SD”, my bestie and I said as we walked in... 😂 I hope you two are getting your well deserved sleep! Thank you for coming here & giving us in MO a chance to say hi!

Those nails were impressive! what a neat and intriguing hobby. She must be really artistic and she’s definitely talented.

Not only are you good ambassadors for the repile community with education and positivity, but you guys are a very good example of a good relationship. You joke and tease one another, have fun with each other, and still support each other. I'm sure there's stress and a few arguments here and there behind the camera but there's also communication. Thank you for being the people you are.

Lying here recovering from spinal surgery. It hurts , then Ed giggles the gold hat 😂👏🏻 I just love how over the years Ed has come right out of his shell just like a little turtle on adoption island. You both are just fantastic 💕

The largest frying pan is 6.72 m (22 ft 0.5 in) in diameter, achieved by Edirne Belediyesi (Turkey), in Edirne, Turkey, on 12 May 2018. 600 kg of calf liver was cooked in 2520 litres of oil inside the pan.

HEY EMILY! You inspired me to love reptiles. Please keep doing this! You and Ed are truly awesome people!

You guys are like human puppies, so excitable and happy "a big frying pan! pigs!"😂😂 Also how does Ed's hat hair actually look amazing?

12:09 my husband, my son and me in the background!! ☺️❤️ Thank you so much Emily and Ed for taking a few minutes out of your day to talk to us! You guys are amazing! ☺️

Emily: we’re on a time crunch, so we’re not gonna… Frying pan: F R Y I N G P A N !

We couldn't get near you guys, and I had to go sit down (old lady syndrome). Then my daughter found me and told me "There was a void in front of Ed's table but I turned around and you were gone!" So I did get to see you at least, and yell "Hi". ~Paula

Is it possible to do both changing to 100 pins (that's still pretty limited considering how huge your crowds are!) and splitting that 100 between two days? I'd also recommend maybe making a sticker of the design to give out to anyone else who didn't make it for the pin. So many people came in their hats, it'd be cool if they could get some kind of souvenir too, and stickers are fairly cheap to make! Though I also want to say it's SUPER nice of you guys to give anything at all, I know that's significant extra work and effort on your part and I'm sure the fans all really appreciate it!

Never had a snake, never wanted a snake and never wanted any lizards BUT something about Emily and Ed, their passion and love for animals, the educating they do, and humbleness keeps me watching their videos RELIGIOUSLY! I watch them as soon as they are released. I never have known so much about reptiles!!! And they give me anxiety and stress relief! Thank you Emily and Ed for brightening up my days! And for educating me throughout your countless videos! Can’t wait to see a hatching video! Thanks for sharing your journey with creating the zoo! It has been a absolute pleasure watching your growth!!! Keep doing what your doing and sharing the love u have for the animals and people!!!! Thanks again!!!

Hi Emily and Ed! Wanted to share a quick story, I was talking to my son last week, he was asking about snakes and Komodo dragons, which I was excited to share what I know with him and he mentioned he wanted a bull snake, which just happens to be the exact species I was thinking about getting. It kind of blew my mind, lol. He's 9, I told him about your channel and he said he is going to check it out. Made me so happy haha, proud dad. -Dave (Gregory, if you see this, I love you buddy!)

I, for one, was furious when Emily had to take three extra seconds and fix her hair in order to wear that silly hat. I was incredibly inconvenienced 🤣

this was perfectly timed. I had been taking naps throughout the day and saw this when I woke up. Poor Ed, he is just always tired but hey he probably still had fun. The crowd looked so intense but having fun was all that matter. pfffff yeah, cold drinks usually give you away

I had so much fun! Thank you Snake Discovery for coming to Missouri!!!! Y’all are inspirational people, and now i have a snek of my own!!! Edit: OMG IM IN IT LOL

Love how Ed has gone from never wanting to be seen on camera, to one of the Funniest guys ever.

Ed's childlike glee at seeing Iowa's largest frying man is so great

I like the idea of upping the pin amounts. I understand wanting limited edition but even if you gave it to everyone that show it would still be a limited edition to that one show and no one would miss out who made the effort to go to the show and do the special thing!

This channel has successfully gotten me hooked on electro swing music

For the reptile convention pins, would it be viable to commission a second design with the same theme (ex: 50 pins with snake wearing witch hat design and 50 pins with snake wearing crown design for hat theme)? Personally, I think if there's a 100 pins or even 500 of the same design it'd still be exclusive as a large part of the fanbase isn't able to attend reptile shows. But also I imagine Snake Discovery have to consider production cost of pins, so I understand if keeping the amount under 300 pins per convention is ideal.

Emily: We need to set up though! Ed: BUT HUGE FRYING PAN!!! Love you guys!!

2:07 So subtle, yet so sweet and caring. Love you guys so much!

“What's that? A hat Crazy, funky, junky hat Overslept, hair unsightly Trying to look like Kiera Knightley We've been there We've done that We see right through your funky hat”

I was so sad I couldn't make it! I ended up not feeling well at all the day of the show so my husband went and FaceTimed me so I could see you guys and he bought me a shirt. Well, I had the shirt on 3 days later and was about to leave my house, turned off the hall light and my shirt was glowing! I slightly startled my son when I yelled, "shut the front door" 😂 so hopefully next time you come to St Louis I will be able to stop by and say hi, but your shirts are amazing, the added bonus of glowing in the dark is fantastic

I was at the farmers market this past weekend and started talking with another lady. The ladies little girl ran up to us and showed her mom her new snake. It was a little plastic snake. The little girl is so enthusiastic about her little snake and keeps talking about it. The mom said "I really wasn't expecting her to pick a snake but what are you gonna do right?" I immediately gave her the info for this channel and explained it to her. More information for a little future snake enthusiasts.

I have been gardening forever. I never had the appreciation for the snakes in my garden before watching your videos! I probably won't ever own one myself, but I watched one of your videos on a whim a year or so ago, and I've been a viewer ever since. I'm not a herper and most likely will never be, but I really like your and Dav's videos. Thanks for sharing your love and knowledge. You're both so amazing for awareness and outreach!

Hah!! Saw me at 7:58 between the blur of people. Y’all can try and guess who I am, I ain’t telling. But so great to make it into the video AND to get to talk to Ed! (Not Em, she was completely surrounded and I didn’t feel like breaking through the crowd just to bother her) Had a great time!

This much happiness is contagious, I'm smiling just watching this and I really hope to meet you guys one day

I am a huge reptile and animal fan and I started watching you guys around a year and a half ago I think? I always binge your guys' videos when im in a depresisve episode and it has always been a comfort to me. Thank you both so much for being such genuine and kind-hearted people. You have no idea how much you help. :)

You two are literally the most wholesome people I don’t know.

More pins please! I even think 100 doesn't suffice. Snake Discovery has so many amazing fans that go the extra mile to participate in the theme and meet you guys. These awesome people deserve those pins :) 👍

Oh my gosh I don't know how you survived that. It was PACKED. I don't know if you remember me but I was the one to say that I wanted a sand boa and I got one! His name is boba and he ate his first meal today!

It’s so weird seeing my city from a tourists point of view. Johnny Brock’s is probably the least safe place to go 😅 You are very welcome for the toasted ravs and you were a pleasure to work with! We hope to see you again soon!

Love the relationship you and Ed have! Its so wholesome!

Dude, Ed and Emily literally make the cutest couple EVER!!!!!!! You guys are adorable!!!!! ❤❤❤😭😭

Me a introvert hearing that people enjoy talking to people with no breaks for 7 hours. I would be passed out with in 5 minutes

I was shocked when I saw you two there the last couple hours on Saturday. If I knew you two were going to be there I would've brought my best snake sheds for you two to sign as a momento of the occasion. What really caught me off guard was how tall both of you were in person. 😵

Emily and Ed are so precious, I'm so happy to be part of this community

It's so surreal watching this video after having experienced being there that day. It was amazing getting to meet both you and Ed! We all appreciate what the two of you do for this community!

Imagine being the only cricket at a reptile convention. Talk about anxiety! 😆

Ed's enthusiasm for the everyday is awesome

I was in St. Louis too that day, but I was at the Fox Theatre watching Hamilton. Wished we could have seen you guys too.

OMG, I saw the flash of the frying pan when the video was loading. I wasn't sure until I saw it a minute later XD I live in Brandon and it's a silly attraction. FUN FACT: They use to bring it down to the park during semi-annual "The Cowboy Breakfast" until the tree they tied it to started to bend.

Right behind Ed! In the car! Girl was 100% so awesome! I know how crazy it was for all yall I felt terrible for ya! But I really hope all yall know how amazing you are! Plz dont ever over do yourself! You are such a light in society today!

Seeing all the pride flags behind emily at the start made me so happy, especially since mine was there as well Im so happy so see that you guys are supportive of the lgbtq community!

I’m so happy I came to my city gangg! It’s so much fun guys! Make sure to be safe tho. It ain’t all butterfly’s and rainbows here,

Really love your enthusiasm when you receive gifts from fans. No matter how big or small your always so excited & that’s amazing and makes people really feel good about sending them. Great channel. Love you guys.

This video made me smile so much (my country’s going through tough times rn) just seeing Emily and Ed as a couple is so cute!

I'm so excited about owning my own snake because of your videos. Thank you so much for educating people like myself.

Thanks for all the great content! You guys are awesome

Oh my gosh, the Waldo you found at 9:36 is me!! It was so nice meeting you guys!

2:20 I love you guys so much, I’m so happy I stumbled into this channel again, I watched you guys when you guys first got Rex and then the algorithm kinda took you guys away but I found your jumping spider video and it was so refreshing to see ya’ll again and see EVERYTHING you guys have done since

My social anxiety is creeping up just watching this. Glad y'all had fun!

I love you Emily and Ed! You guys are my favorite KZfaqrs. 😁❤️

I think a combination of A &B would be great. 100 pins- 50 the 1st day; 50 the next. Thanks Emily & Ed!

It was great to meet you all! I hope you liked the treats! My boss was so jealous that I went to NARBC without her. But I brought her back some merch from Tera Tiger Studio so she forgave me. I hope to be able to come to your zoo sometime in the future!

fun to watch! hope y’all having a good day today :)

Ed is so precious~ Emily is very lucky (they both are obviously).

Love it! “No we are on a time crunch.” Look at this pan! Haha

When I did the show at Salt Lake City back in March, I was at that same level of exhaustion! Big shows will ZAP your energy. They are so much fun and it's always wonderful to meet people even though I never get time to talk to people at them. That's the only thing that bums me out.

At 9:18 it was quick but I think Ed kissed Emily’s hand?! They are just the sweetest couple and it’s so cool seeing what they’ve created together and how far they’ve come as reptile enthusiasts and KZfaq influencers

Y'alls booth was way too packed lol. I waved at Ed while I walked by tho. The arachnid booth next to you was super cool! Edit: Maybe you could slow down the pins by making the theme a secret but leave clues/hints in other videos. So the people who figure it out and come dressed that way get the pins

The friend with red hair is a total dreamboat!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I can't explain how happy it makes me that y'all went to see the frying pan in Brandon. I live about an hour from there.

Love your videos keep up the great work

I love your vids so much! It really makes my day!

you were both so incredibly sweet! i was only able to be at the show for the first 90 minutes, but i'm so glad i got to meet you, and i'm glad you liked st louis!

You guys are amazing. You're so good to your fans and probably made memories for families that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your time and passion with us. ❤

You could also do a bingo system for the pins were people can roll a bingo machine and if they get a colored marble they get a pin. That would spread it out a lot more and also designate a certain area for the pins specifically so others could shop. (Not sure about stopping people from getting double...)

Hello! Because of you guys I learned to love reptiles instead of fear then :D

Yessssssssss I love watching the NARBC videos

These videos are just a joy to watch. My face hurts from smiling ♥

Love the flags in front of the Halloween store 👀🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m not on your patreon BUT seeing Sadie (so sorry if that’s spelled wrong if you see this please correct me!) with their boa gave me the idea that you could do a thing where fans can do mini segments on your channel teaching about their pets and things about their species and submitting a small clip for the channel.

it was soooo busy, I think I bought one of the last shirts. Wife was ecstatic to learn that it was glow in the dark :)

That cold can to the back was priceless thanks for the laughs 😁😁
