Video summary

Press to jump

0:13Earlier footage shows the mother brooding seven eggs beneath a rock in her enclosure.
1:20Emily checks the hatchlings, which emerged while she and Ed were at the Atlanta show.
2:55A week later, the babies have shed but retain their brownish juvenile coloring.
5:30Emily and Ed furnish individual bins with paper towel, water cups and cherry-blossom decorations.
7:30The adult mother's yellow, green and blue tones provide a contrast with her hatchlings.

The first shed doesn't reveal the colors Emily was expecting. Snake Discovery's new Japanese rat snakes remain grayish-brown, quite unlike their greenish-blue parents, even after a week of waiting.

All seven hatched on their own while Emily and Ed were at a reptile show in Atlanta. In "We Finally Bred Japanese Rat Snakes!!", Emily handles the wriggling youngsters before the pair prepare individual bins with paper towel, water cups and cherry-blossom decorations. A visit to their mother supplies the striking comparison: yellow, green and blue tones that show just how much their appearance can change as they grow.

The upload drew roughly 151,000 views, making it the most watched of the week's two releases. Viewers are discussing the babies' camouflage, suggesting explanations for their juvenile coloring and enjoying Emily and Ed's attempts to keep the little climbers in their bin.

The other arrival, "We Hatched the World's First TOFFENDER Hognose?! ", introduces a toffee-and-lavender combination. The description makes the title's joke explicit: this is the channel's first, not a claim to the world's first, and "TOFFENDER" is their chosen name for the combination.

Across the channel, subscribers held steady while weekly viewing reached about 3.4 million. Daily views are a little below their usual level. Among nearby animal channels, Ellie Golden Life and Raja and David are drawing larger-than-usual daily audiences.

Snake Discovery's strongest current viewing momentum belongs to the previous week's ball-python clutch video. The older lavender-hognose surprise, "WAIT… Did We Actually Hatch One?!", also remains active, giving the new toffee-and-lavender hatchling a fitting companion in the catalog.

What viewers say

I love how the baby snakes are all swarming the sides as Emily tries to secure them back in their nesting bin before moving them to the baby bins. Its like they were saying "NOOO, you left us in here for way longer than the other snakes. We finally escaped and we shall not be captured again."

Does anybody else find it super entertaining to watch Ed and Emily wrestle baby snakes back into their bin

I love how Ed is in the videos more. I have loved this channel since Rex lived in their basement, before they got the building their zoo is now in. Keep growing, keep being you. You give me a lot of joy. I only have a dog, but seeing you excited over your animals makes me happy.

In Japan, we call these guys ao-daishō (青大将), which translates to blue general (as in the military rank)! Neat snakes. I love them!
