We break down the differences between what you see online versus what actually happens behind the scenes, from care routines to setbacks that don’t make it into highlight reels.

    Do we regret being Reptile Girlies? | Episode 113

    In this episode, we start with a big life update—Lyssa gets a major haircut, and we talk about the emotions, second-guessing, and confidence shifts that come with making a bold hair change. Then we dive into a more honest conversation: do we ever regret being “reptile girlies”? We talk openly about the challenges that come with reptiles becoming part of your identity—from public perception to burnout, boundaries, and the pressure that comes with being known for one thing. To lighten things up, we wrap up with a round of smash or pass: music genres, sharing our hot takes, unpopular opinions, and strong reactions to everything from nostalgic favorites to hard passes.

    Zootopia 2: Good or Bad for the Reptile Hobby? | Episode 112

    In this episode, we share our honest reactions and thoughts on Zootopia 2, breaking it down from both an entertainment perspective and through the lens of reptile keepers. We talk about what the movie gets right, what made us pause, and how films like this can influence public perception of animals and the hobby. Then we reflect back on our 2025 vision boards—what actually happened, what surprised us, what didn’t pan out, and how our goals shifted throughout the year. To wrap things up, we react to some niche (and sometimes unhinged) 2026 New Year’s resolutions, sharing our takes on which ones are realistic, which ones we secretly love, and which ones might be setting people up for chaos.
