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.

What You Need to Know Before ColubridFest 2026 w/ Dr. Zac Loughman | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 122
Q: What major changes are planned for Colubrid Fest 2026 to improve attendee experience?
The conversation highlights centralized parking, a walkable hotel-and-venue setup, and on-site dining to keep attendees together, along with restructured talks and workshops to reduce downtime and improve networking.
What You Need to Know Before ColubridFest 2026 w/ Dr. Zac Loughman | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 122
Q: What makes Colubrid Fest distinct from a typical reptile show, and why should people attend via year three?
Zac emphasizes the community aspect as the core value—mentors, colleagues, and first-time attendees all benefit from genuine interaction, hands-on workshops, and a shared passion for Colubrids, which makes it more than just a sale-focused event.
Why Are Bull Snake Morphs So Fun to Work With? | The Colubrid Corruption Podcast | Ep. 121
Q: How did you get started with snakes and what drew you to Bull snakes and Pichuophis in particular?
Eric describes childhood exposure to reptiles, early experiences with pine snakes and Kenyan sand boas, and how the aesthetics and genetics of bull snakes drew him toward the Hypos and Stillwater lines as his main focus.
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.
