This week we’re asking the big question: Should kids have reptiles? We dig into responsibility levels, beginner-friendly species, and what parents should know before saying yes. Then we dive into a hilarious round of deciding whether things guys do count as princess treatment or just the bare minimum — and trust us, some of these takes are bold. Finally, we wrap the episode with fun and practical stocking stuffer ideas for reptile keepers, perfect for holiday gifting season.

It’s our 2-year anniversary episode! 🎉 We’re celebrating by looking back at all our favorite moments, milestones, and the top episodes from the past year. Then we’re putting ourselves to the test with a blind ranking of reptile chores — the ones we love, the ones we tolerate, and the ones we avoid at all costs. And to wrap things up, we’re hosting the very first Reptile Girlies Awards, honoring the funniest, wildest, and most iconic moments of the year.

We’re breaking down the real cost of keeping pet reptiles — from the basics to the hidden expenses you don’t realize until you’re deep in the hobby. Then we dive into a hilarious Reddit thread full of things guys have learned about dating women. Some are relatable, some are hilarious, and we want to share them with you. It’s part reptile budgeting guide, part internet-chaos reaction session.

In this episode, we’re catching up after a wild couple of weeks! Lyssa gives a full recap of her *epic* Halloween party — the costumes, the chaos, and everything in between. Neptune shares stories from her Caribbean cruise, including snorkeling with turtles and getting kissed by a dolphin. Then we dive into the world of blue reptiles, from electric-blue geckos to venomous vipers. It’s a mix of travel, parties, and reptile facts… basically, peak Reptile Girlies energy.

This week, we’re getting a little reflective—and a little brave. We start by talking about the emotional rollercoaster of cutting your hair shorter and why big changes can feel so personal.

Then we switch gears to the reptile world to break down the differences between snakes and legless lizards—because yes, they’re not the same thing.

Finally, we share some advice we’d give our 20-something selves now that we’ve hit 30: what we’ve learned, what we’d do differently, and what we wish someone had told us sooner.

We’re kicking things off this week with some bug escapee horror stories—because no matter how careful you are, feeder insects always find a way out. Then we dive into pop culture chaos and ask the big question: how are there 22 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy?! After that, it’s time for some updates—Lyssa got her nails done, and Neptune’s baby chameleons are starting to find their new homes! We wrap up by reminiscing on all the times we’ve gotten new reptiles together… and let’s just say, it’s been a lot!
