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.

This week we’re spilling some Reptile Keeper Confessions — and trust us, some of them are very relatable. From our own reptile keeping slip-ups to anonymous listener submissions, we’re sharing the funny, chaotic, and slightly questionable moments that happen behind the scenes of the hobby. We also chat about tips for keeping reptiles as the weather warms up, including small husbandry adjustments that can make a big difference during the seasonal shift. Plus, Neptune gives an update on Triton the chameleon and how things have been going lately.To wrap things up, we taste test a variety of Easter candy — including some very questionable jellybean flavors — and give our honest reactions. Expect some laughs, a little chaos, and maybe a few confessions that make you feel better about your own reptile keeping moments.

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.

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.

In this episode, we’re talking all about white reptiles, including the differences between albino and leucistic animals and why those terms aren’t interchangeable. We also shift into a more serious but important conversation about having a fire escape plan when you keep reptiles. We share how we’ve thought through emergency planning with animals in mind, what’s realistic in a high-stress situation, and steps keepers can take to be more prepared.

We’re kicking things off by talking about which concerts we’re dying to go to this year and who’s currently at the top of our must-see list. Then we get into a story time about maintenance workers coming into your home when you have reptiles, plus we read and react to a listener-submitted message that had us laughing.

We also share our reactions and predictions for Bridgerton season 4, including what we’re hoping to see and what we think might happen next. To wrap things up, we end with a classic girly segment and blind rank Pringles flavors, complete with hot takes and strong opinions.

It’s our Valentine’s Day episode! We’re talking about how we like to celebrate love, whether that’s big plans, low-key traditions, or something in between. Then we get into the weird (and sometimes aggressive) world of reptile mating behaviors — yes, including biting! We wrap things up by tackling the big question: how soon is too soon to say “I love you”?
