The podcast that’ll corrupt you to buy more colubrids! This podcast was meant to be an educational tool to bridge the gap of people not knowing that some of these amazing reptiles exist, while also bringing forward keepers and breeders that I consider to be “doing it right” in the reptile hobby.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The King of Drymarchon (Indigos & Cribos) w/ John Michels | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 116
Q: What are the key care differences for Drymarchon compared to more common colubrids?
Drymarchon require stable ambient temperatures around 76-80 degrees, humidity control via humid hides, and careful moisture management due to their messy fecals; they generally do not tolerate high temperatures and benefit from a humidity gradient rather than a full thermal gradient.
Solidifying Success with Pituophis (& Scrub Pythons) w/ Steven Kush | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 114
Q: How do you decide when to reduce diversity in your collection?
I assess the breeding economics, space, and the likelihood of obtaining a stronger generation later. If removing a species frees space and allows focusing on higher-quality lines, I'll do it, but I still keep some diversity for risk management and long-term viability.
Solidifying Success with Pituophis (& Scrub Pythons) w/ Steven Kush | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 114
Q: What is your current approach to holdbacks across species, and how has that evolved?
I've shifted from overholding to being more selective, especially with scrub pythons, because I can't house CB70s and I already have more than enough breeding stock. I keep a small number of holdbacks that are truly special and potentially future leaders of the line, and I'm open to trading or letting go of others if they don't fit the plan.
When Perseverance Leads to Success w/ Andrew Hughes | The Colubrid Corruption Podcast | Ep. 113
Q: What protocols do you use for quarantining new snakes?
I use a structured quarantine with a dedicated room, at least 90 days, separate bins, hydrogen peroxide cleaning, and crypto testing with multiple fecal samples to reduce the risk of introducing crypto into the main collection.
Importing & Distributing Rare Reptiles w/ Ashley Dezan | The Colubrid Corruption Podcast | Ep. 108
Q: What is her approach to vetting buyers and handling wild-caught shipments?
She emphasizes background checks, understanding the buyer's setup and experience, and avoiding selling to unsuitable homes; she also shares that most wild-caught imports are sourced with careful vetting and that she prioritizes welfare and proper acclimation.
