  • An asset to the hobby

    I appreciate the attitude of teachability that Dillion brings to a hobby that has it’s share of ego and “my way or the highway” mindsets. His questions seem to come from a place of genuine curiosity and a desire to understand. This leads us all to asking great questions about our motivations and our keeping strategies- without feeling called out or criticized. I know I have made some major changes, for the benefit of my animals and myself, thanks to this show. This show will make you a better k... more

  • Truly excellent EXCELLENT content. Listener for life

    I absolutely love how our wonderful host explores all aspects of exotic pet/captive animal care and research. I especially love how he explores the ethics of each corner of the reptile/invert/amphibian hobby. It really scratches a brain itch I didn’t know I had. He’s also a truly EXCELLENT interviewer. He keeps the conversation going without overshadowing the guest. He brings energy and thought-provoking questions to the discourse and you can tell he puts a lot of effort and preparation for thes... more

  • Has become disappointing

    I once really looked forward to this podcast but lately I can’t seem to get through the episodes without cringing at the lack of unbiased thought. Care and ethical advice is given like definitive answers and leaves no room for growth or remembrance of the people who made this hobby possible. Episode 210 left me so disappointed that I don’t think I can continue to listen to this show. It was nothing more than a rant with little basis in substantiated evidence and seemed like I was listening to so... more
