  • First retic that I like

    There have been a handful of reptile podcasts that have chosen to listen to. This is the only one that I don’t think (why do I listen to this trash?) periodically. Lucas and Nathan are smart and they hold each other accountable for keeping this podcast informative. It’s not crude and I really enjoy the Fresh new topics.
