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.

When a Python Guru's Collection is Insanely Diverse w/ Owen McIntyre | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 102
Q: If Owen could sum up why he focuses on diverse colubrid species, what drives him?
The challenge of producing something not a lot of people can, the thrill of breeding uncommon species, and the joy of seeing successful clutches from a wide variety of lineages and mutations.
The South African Side of the Hobby w/ The Croc River Collection | Colubrid Corruption | Ep. 99
Q: What motivates you to keep and breed house snakes, especially Cape house snakes?
Rom explains that the hobby offers a unique blend of accessibility, manipulable genetics, and ongoing discovery—it's easy to start, but with line breeding and morph diversity, there is always something new to explore.
Growing Up With Pine Snakes + Reptile Educational Shows w/ Landon Links | Colubrid Corruption | 91
Q: What's your elevator pitch to someone considering getting into colubrids, especially pine snakes?
Look at these stunning animals, like the seven-foot janai with the beautiful orange head and how interactive they are compared to more commonly kept snakes like ball pythons.
Growing Up With Pine Snakes + Reptile Educational Shows w/ Landon Links | Colubrid Corruption | 91
Q: What does the future look like for you and your collection in the next 3 to 5 years?
I aim to produce all major pine snake species, with a strong focus on the Louisiana and more lineatic colas.
Growing Up With Pine Snakes + Reptile Educational Shows w/ Landon Links | Colubrid Corruption | 91
Q: What keeps you going with The Reptiles?
The spark it ignites in me for pines and colubrids is second to none, driving my passion and motivation to breed and enhance these underrepresented species' populations.
