Hi, I'm Karla Blomberg and proudly serve as the volunteer president of Wishes & More and I'm "the Lady" in the video who 'doesn't like snakes.' I didn't think about doing it - I just did it because I knew that Maddie would love it and she did . I knew that my minutes of discomfort would be a lasting memory for her and it was worth it. Emily, thank you, thank you and thank you again from me, from Maddie and from Wishes & More. Doug you're a superstar and thanks to everyone who has commented with such kind words. After meeting Emily and seeing her video, I'm not surprised by the number of subscribers that follow her. Snake Discovery is amazing!

"She does not like snakes, but she's willing to pick up a snake for this kid." 😭 my heart ❤️❤️❤️ This was the sweetest thing.

Emily: * throws Doug over her shoulder and prances off * Fairy God Mother: * collapses *

Doug is truly an amazing ambassador.. He'll convince anyone to love snakes

I love how Emily took Doug, casually draped him over her, and walked off stage without holding onto him and Doug hanging on her shoulders Like "yup this is my 8 foot muscle scarf. His name is Doug. Doug says hi"

9:12 Emily you slung doug over your shoulder and walked of the stage like a QUEEN

Doug: “I am a good noodle! I AM A GOOD NOODLE!!”

I love how after Emily slings Doug over her shoulder, you see Doug's head perk up towards the crowd like "thank you, I'll be here all night"

People: STRUGGLING to hold themselves together whilst holding a snake. Emily: straight up slings Doug over her shoulder.

*slings Doug over shoulder* “I’m a scarf now? Well ok” -Doug

I love how she was like “Emily can you....” and you just hopped up on the stage and you just casually chucked a boa around you like a badass

That lady who really liked the way they feel was so relatable. Holding snakes is like asmr for me.

Emily: brings snakes Also Emily: *sees chocolate* bEcOmEs sNaKe

“Emily from snake world.....wait no, that’s not right....snake...snAKE DISCOVERY” 👏🏽

The "fairy" is so nice!!! Fairy: Awkwardly balances snake😂Emily: casually slings snake over shoulder

5:11 - Missed opportunity for "Stealth Level: Solid Snake" Also, big props to Karla for taking the "hit" of handling Doug for the surprise!

The little girl saying “thanks little buddy” was the sweetest, most pure thing in this world. She’s an absolute angel. 😭❤️❤️❤️

DID ANYBODY ELSE CRY THEIR EYES OUT WHEN SHE SAID "Thanks little buddy"

Dark DARK Chocolate?!?! I've been enlightened.

Clint's reptiles once said. "The world is scary if your a noodle with a head and even scarier if your a baby noodle with a head"

My daughter actually just got her Make A Wish granted. She wanted a bunny. His name is Donut & he is the sweetest thing! She takes such great care of him! Organizations like Make A Wish & Wishes & More make our kiddos so happy! My daughter has had a life of heart surgeries, procedures, pokes & prods, & her Donut has made her the happiest kid! Us parents are so incredibly grateful & thankful! To Emily, my Emma loves your channel! My kiddos now want reptiles galore! 🤣🤣

“snake world” “oh that’s not right”

That was awesome. You could tell that woman was screaming internally the entire time, but she was such a champ holding Doug for Maddie. ❤️

Maddie: "Is this English?" me every time I see cursive

Omg Emily that confidence when you put Doug over ur back and walked away sassss🙂

"uhhh, Snake? What are you doing?" "I'm in a box."

Just to see PURE JOY for Maddie and to the Guests the smiles and excitement people will remember for a LONG TIME! Love it dressed to the 9s and hanging out with a Boa and again the smiles and expressions of folks. Priceless. Hats off Double E's!

karla: "Emily from snake world wait snake discovery" me: dies laughing

"This is perfect. I need a snake." Music to my ears. So cool that you got to participate in this. Congratulations!

Doug is such a good little (Big!) noodle! You two and your critters did a great thing here, and I couldn't be more proud to be your subscriber :3

I got tears in my eyes when the fairy said 'cause I wanted to surprise you' and the big hug.. what a touching moment and amazing initiative. You all did great

Doug: 🎵 OUT OF THE BOX! 🎵 Emliy: You have to stay in here though, I’m sorry.

Basket case? No this is a basket snek

CONSPIRACY Doug is the Boa Harry freed from the Reptile House.

"we boxed everything because its a surprise" Has SNAKE DISCOVERY on her jacket Welp so much for the stealth Rating ;)

3:47 when my reptiles realize that I didn’t bring food for them and it’s just my love and affection

Hamilton? This kid's got her priorities straight.

Emily: *casually wears Doug off stage*

As a person who has a BP and is on the spectrum, I love having my BP on me. I love the feeling of him holding onto me. I really do want a bigger snake. Boyfriend says not right now. Which is understandable.

11:42 guys did you see how happy that guy was to hold that snake OMG it was so cute

I don’t think we’ve ever seen Ed’s face before. He seems chill.

Wow, this was so super cool! Doug would make a badass therapy animal 😎 Also, Maddie was so adorable, and how amazing was the Fairy Godmother lady for facing her snake fear to make a little girl happy! 👏🏻

Karla was so sweet. You could tell she was uncomfortable but she stuck it out for Maddie. Poor gal. lol Also, I can relate to that woman about the sensory stuff SO much. I use a weighted blanket and if I'm stressed, I'll hold my ball pythons. It's like the perfect hug. Hoping to get a boa someday. They seem like the perfect snake for me so far.

This is inspiring. Makes me wish I was around snakes like Doug more often. I've been more enlightened and watching these videos really puts the snakes in a positive light Thank you for showing us how these noodles can make others happy. Even if there's people who don't like snakes ;3

I have an honest question, why would anyone dislike this video? A child got to have her dream come true, what is wrong or offensive about that?

It’s a snek in a box! Doug looked so comfy in there. *RIP chocolates. Emily and Ed are good eaters!*

9:15 I just love how emily looks like the typical snake handler and causaly lets the snake chill on her freaking neck 😂🤦🏼‍♀️❣🐍

That lady did such a great job holding the snake and staying calm. Good for her that’s a really sweet thing to do for that little girl

Now that's a large box of chinese take out noodles. I bet a full size sulcata is the fortune cookie!

I had tears in my eyes when Maddie went up the stage and the whole segment ensued 😭😭😍 live your dream precious child!! You and the team who organized this are amazing!! This is so wholesome 💕

“So no one knows snakes are here” Emily you and Ed are wearing SNAKE DISCOVERY LOGO SHIRTS AND JACKETS

Ed, from a (retired) pro to another: Carry a roll of gaffer's tape. So many uses in production and it leaves no residue on practically all surfaces. If in only had a dollar for every time someone needed something gaffer taped.

This episode of Snake Discovery has been brought to you by Kleenex, because you are gonna need one! Very wonderful thing you guys did there :) Doug makes me want a boa.

Doug was such a good boy! The others were well behaved, too, but Doug was the star!

“And you Wanna See Hamilton?” “Yes.” Me: ME TOO HUN ME TOO :(

Karla: I can speak snake Me: PaRsElToNgUe

I love seeing more of Ed in action. He’s so handsome. He should show himself more in videos. Also great work from both of you. Such a great cause.

“Thank you, little buddy, I love you, too!” I’m not crying. You’re crying.

The way Doug looks up, at Emily, as he’s placed into the basket is adorable.

What you did was absolutely amazing, making someone's dream come true!! God-bless you!!

That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It touches my heart knowing that children that were conned like that (IE; Genetics, disease, etc.) are able to see their dreams come true before they take that trip to heaven. It is truly amazing how people can do so much for certain people (Ones with terminal illness, mental illness, etc.) Even though this was not enough to fully restore my faith in humanity (In fact, i outright despise it due to the bad people who ruin it for everyone), but it was more than enough to warm my cold heart. Thank you for doing this for Maddie. Thank you. With love, Lake, Central New York

Ha! I have finally seen the elusive Ed :D

Honestly, any and every time I need a pick me up, this is the best way for me to get it. You, Ed, and 'the Lady' Klara (according to the comment XD) are absolutely amazing. The fact that you two went out of your way to do this, AND the fact that she was able to push her dislike of snakes aside... it speaks volumes. Thank you so much for posting this. This is amazing~

we went to a trip at my local zoo with my school and when the snakes came out,i went mad AND convinced the person next to me to pet the boa,Prince!

Very good peformance by doug, he clearly doesn't have stage fright!!

Me : can I have a green tree python Mom : u already have a fish

Wow Doug is so good being so patient with all those people! He’s just amazing. I hope he got an extra rodent for that. 🥰

‘I need a snake’ The most relatable thing ever

I just love how Emily after getting Doug back just casually puts him on her shoulder

I'm amazed on how many people went to see the snakes and carry them. I see so many people who are afraid of them and won't even dare to look at them. This is amazing. I'm glad Maddie got her wish and it warmed my heart to know that the lady faced her fears for a moment just to please this sweet little girl 😊

I love seeing people who are scared of snakes actually come into contact with one and realize how cute and awesome they are!!!! (though of course if you're afraid of snakes that's ok too)

*all those people want a snake until they learn they eat rodents* mk, just to clarify, i am noting to simply the snakes shown on camera on this video. Ball Pythons, Corn Snakes, and of course Doug :D

You bring so much positivity and kindness to the world. Thank you Emily, Ed, and Doug 🐍

Doug was a good little noodle I'm so proud of him. Good job you two I don't think I have a more favorite KZfaq channel keep up the good work!!! I hope you make it around Missouri some time

I love how Emily came to to the stage when called and just casually popped Doug onto her shoulders and walked off and that good noodle Doug turned to her and was like "Mom!!" Also the way Doug was staring and trying to get cuddles from Emily when she put him in the basket. "Mom why da heck I'm in here? You doin' me a confuse!" You can tell the way he is with Emily and Ed, and how most of the other animals they own are as well, that Emily and Ed are loving, caring and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite channels on here 🥰🐍🐊🐢🦎

Doug was amazing, such a sweet boy. Love seeing events that can showcase reptiles in a positive light. Keep up the awesome work Emily. ❤❤❤🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

Btw the text in the original letter read: "Maddie, Wishes & More is sending you to Harry Potter World in Sunny Florida! Congratulations and have fun!" Nice touch haha

I’m so happy to see more of Ed, when you go where joking around with the chocolate it made me chuckle and laugh uncontrollably 😂💕

Omg I love this kid she loves reptiles and Hamilton she is literately the younger version of me

I love how when Emily takes Doug, she just hikes him over her shoulder like a toddler!

Honestly, this is the sweetest thing I've seen in awhile. Em, you and Ed are freaking awesome~

“Why would a sweet little girl like you want to see reptiles” I know it’s for the event but that really annoys me for some reason

This made me so emotional 😭😭🖤🖤 to over come your own fear for another person..... Its so pure! Love it!

I know this is late, but Doug is such a good boy. I freaking love him 💙💙💙

*pureness overload* I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT! Emily you guys are easily the biggest positive channel on youtube, I love you guys so much and I cannot wait to meet you and support you through taking one of your babby snakes home (one day! Would love to pick up a false water cobra but I still have quite a lot of research in that department! And they still have lots of growing lol). You guys brighten my day/week/month/year whenever you upload, I've felt a huge release in my anxiety through watching you guys for the last year and whenever I feel down it seems to be that I just ran out of of Snake Discovery videos to catch up on and ran out of steam and need to go back and watch a few older videos. You, Ed, the herps, and Cheyenne are better than any medicine!! Love you guys so much sorry for my ramble

3,375 likes. 0 dislikes. I think that's the highest ratio I've seen. That was a very heart warming video. Thank you.

So friggin sweet! I grew up with a 4 and 5 foot snake, my dad was a huge reptile fan and totally loved them and babied them, so I grew up learning how to handle and respect reptiles, I love your channel and everything that you guys work towards, thank you so much for sharing, I really hope that your zoo/business/ classrooms, work out, you guys are amazing and so knowledgeable and I hope tons of people are able to learn from you guys! Again, thank you for sharing, you are all awesome!! ❤😊❤😊

You know what MY wish is? to be at a place like this and make a kids day including 700 others :) I think this is amazing, and im glad that you did this because you just made this my wish.

THAT GIRL IS A HAMFAM LEGEND NOW! sharing to the Hamilton FB group i'm in.

Everyone holding Doug was so chill, and happy :D AWESOME, SNAKE DISCOVERY!

This brings me so much happiness

I am crying all over the place. That little girl is after my own heart.

i wish my mom would let me have a snake ;-; but at 6:17 "now why would a sweet girl like you want to see reptiles?" that stung...

Honestly, I cried, I LOVE snakes and Harry Potter just like her and would love to go to Harry Potter world and hold snakes and have snakes (I’m not allowed 😔) but she deserves to do it way more then I do. This put me in a good mood :)

7:48 that’s Greek, I’ll transliterate here: Maddie, Wishes & more is sending you to Harry Potter World in Synnps Florida! Congratulations and have fun! Edit: Sorry for my rusty Greek.

What a beautiful way to make a little girls wish come true. Absolutely amazing

Harry Potter AND Snakes? We could be friends lol

Aww I love snakes too! The animals not the humans.

Friend sent this to me, love this. Doug is wonderful, all the snakes were so amazing and the folks holding them were so happy. Love all around.

Doug is the most chill beeing on this entire planet :D
