I love Lyssa and Neptune’s chemistry and relationship to each other. I find myself laughing and smiling along with these two and I’m loving the balance of reptile content and other topics! Seriously thinking about planning a trip to a reptile expo just to meet them 🥹😭

First time listener. Love having a reptile podcast led by 2 ladies. I don’t own any reptiles (amphibian owner) but love the information and realness of owning exotic animals. This is a largely male dominated space so this is a lovely change. Its needed.

Little tangent here: In middle school I became obsessed with reptiles. Constantly watching videos and doing research. I was so happy when I got my first crested gecko. My family and friends, coming from kindness, just didn’t understand the love I felt for these animals. I wasn’t necessarily judged in anyway but not encouraged. So, I stopped researching and watching videos. Anyways fast forward to now, this podcast has nearly single handedly reignited my love for reptiles. It is so entertaining while talking about very important reptile topics. I love it so much I now follow all of the content from both of the creators of the podcast!!!! Thank you both so much for making me not feel alone in the reptile community.

I am a male listener and I absolutely love this podcast. It is nice to finally hear the real honest truth about reptile keeping. No fluff just open truths about the ins and outs.
