    Informative and entertaining while being super friendly and casual! I love it! This podcast makes me want to get more involved in the overall reptile community and my local community (PNW) as a small breeder of Ball Pythons (and soon Dionne’s rat snakes!) Thanks for putting the effort into producing this and keeping things so positive!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Texas Ratsnakes and Nerodia with Aaron Morris of Remes Herpetoculture
Q: Did you get into Texas Ratsnakes independently, or did you want them specifically because of something you saw on the Internet?
I started with an impulse buy in 2019, then gradually got into California-like herpetoculture, but the interest grew from their aesthetics and variability rather than a single online prompt.
Diones Ratsnakes and Other Fun Colubrids with Kevin Saunders of Under the Radar Reptiles
Q: What is your favorite locality of Dione's Rats?
I've kept a few different things, and I think the Chassen has some amazing coloration.

Q: Do you think new people can be convinced to be more chill?
New individuals in the industry often have to learn and experience the challenges for themselves.
Reptile Breeding Businesses - Burnout Endurance and Motivation with Shane Kelley
Q: How do we reduce burnout?

Breeding Colubrids with Thomas Kelty of Kelty's Colubrids
Q: Do you feel like the hog nose sells better at shows?
There's a lot of hype for hog noses, but the higher-end prices can make them hard to sell compared to corn snakes that are more accessible.
