Reptile Guild

Welcome to the Reptile Guild Podcast, where reptile keepers, breeders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge, build community, and grow the hobby. Hosted by Shane Kelley of Small Town Xotics and Josh & Alisha Harbin of Herpin Harbins, The Reptile Guild is dedicated to honest conversations about reptile breeding, husbandry, genetics, business, conservation, and the realities of life in the reptile world. Whether you keep ball pythons, western hognose snakes, boas, kingsnakes, geckos, or simply have a passion for reptiles, you’ll find valuable insights, practical experience, and authentic discussions from people actively involved in the hobby. Each episode may feature: • Interviews with breeders, keepers, and industry leaders • Breeding strategies and project planning • Reptile husbandry and care discussions • Genetics and morph-focused conversations • Reptile business and marketing topics • Community events and industry trends • Q&A sessions and listener discussions • Honest perspectives on the challenges and successes of reptile keeping The Reptile Guild was founded on a simple belief: the reptile hobby is stronger when knowledge is shared, friendships are built, and the community supports one another. Our goal is to create a welcoming place where newcomers can learn, experienced keepers can share their expertise, and everyone can enjoy meaningful conversations about the animals we love. Whether you’re working toward your first clutch, growing a collection, or simply looking to connect with other reptile enthusiasts, you’re welcome here. Building Knowledge. Growing Community.
