    Breeding Green Anacondas with MegaConda! | Episode 126

    This week, we’re joined by Meghan from Megaconda, a true reptile girly making waves in the hobby with her incredible work breeding green anacondas. We dive into Meghan’s origin story — how she got started in reptiles, what drew her to one of the world’s most misunderstood giant snakes, and how she built her place in the reptile community. She walks us through the realities of breeding green anacondas, from husbandry challenges and safety considerations to what it actually takes behind the scenes to work with these powerful animals responsibly. And because we can’t stay serious forever, we wrap things up with a chaotic round of Smash or Pass: 90s Kids Animal TV Shows Edition, where nostalgia meets questionable opinions and plenty of laughs.

    Edible plants for reptiles & trying Peeps flavors! | Epsiode 124

    In this episode, we celebrate April Fools by dressing up as each other — wigs and all — and recording the entire episode in our ridiculous lookalike outfits. We kick things off with a reptile keeper horror story about the time a snake hid a dead rat for days before it was finally discovered. Then, since it’s gardening season, we talk about plants you can grow for your reptiles or add to enclosures, including options like chia sprouts, dandelion, hibiscus, and collard or mustard greens. For our girly segment, we ask: Are you the type to have a celebrity crush? and share our first celebrity obsessions. We wrap things up by trying new Peeps flavors to see which ones are actually worth the hype.

    What no one tells you after your first reptile | Episode 122

    This episode has a little bit of everything. We start by figuring out which Hogwarts houses we belong in, plus a very important life update: befriending the neighborhood crows. For the main topic, we talk about something that doesn’t get discussed enough in the reptile hobby — what happens after the beginner phase. The excitement of getting your first reptiles eventually settles into long-term routines, and we dive into things no one really prepares you for: when care starts to feel repetitive, staying engaged in the hobby without impulse buying new animals, mentally outgrowing beginner setups, and the temptation to chase more “advanced” or flashier species. Then we do a taste test of new Peeps flavors and give our very serious and professional rankings.

    African reptiles you've never heard of! | Episode 121

    We are introducing a brand-new segment where we explore reptiles from different regions around the world, starting with West Africa! We talk about some of the incredible species found there, including a lineup of venomous snakes that are equal parts fascinating and terrifying. Lyssa also debuts her newest tattoo and we get into the full story! To finish the episode, we dive into a very real girlhood conversation about “pink vs. blue jobs” — who actually does what around the house, how couples divide chores, and why “fair” doesn’t always look 50/50.
