We’re kicking things off this week with some bug escapee horror stories—because no matter how careful you are, feeder insects always find a way out. Then we dive into pop culture chaos and ask the big question: how are there 22 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy?! After that, it’s time for some updates—Lyssa got her nails done, and Neptune’s baby chameleons are starting to find their new homes! We wrap up by reminiscing on all the times we’ve gotten new reptiles together… and let’s just say, it’s been a lot!

This week we’re hopping into some amphibian trivia! We test each other with fun (and surprisingly tricky) frog vs. toad facts to see which ones apply to frogs, toads, or both. Then we switch gears as Neptune shows off her new festive nails and we dive into a little relationship talk—should couples celebrate both their dating and wedding anniversaries, and how do we like to celebrate?

It’s our Halloween special! We’re dressed up in inflatable dinosaur costumes and diving into all things spooky, scaly, and slightly chaotic. First, we talk about how to preserve a deceased pet reptile and the meaningful ways keepers can honor their beloved animals. Then it’s time for Smash or Pass: Halloween Movie Edition—from cult classics to modern horror, we’re sharing our hot takes. And of course, we couldn’t resist dropping a few fun dinosaur facts while in full costume..

We’re going green this week—literally! From green tree boas to green mambas and veiled chameleons, we’re talking about some of the most stunning emerald-toned reptiles out there and what makes each species so special. Then things take a turn for the personal: would we date a guy who owns reptiles? We break down the pros, cons, and potential red flags. And since spooky season is right around the corner, we’re sharing our favorite Halloween couples costume ideas—from creepy-cute to full glam.

We’re back with another colorful episode—literally. This week we’re talking about reptiles that shine in shades of yellow, including the bold yellow anaconda, the striking yellow sea snake, and even the vibrant Italian fire salamander. Then we shift into setup talk with our honest opinions on grow tents—are they a clever solution for certain reptile keepers, or more hassle than they’re worth? And finally, it’s time for Are You the Type of Girl? where we talking about joining a sorority and Lyssa shares her first-hand experience with sororities and if joining one is really worth it.
