This week we’re asking the big question: Should kids have reptiles? We dig into responsibility levels, beginner-friendly species, and what parents should know before saying yes. Then we dive into a hilarious round of deciding whether things guys do count as princess treatment or just the bare minimum — and trust us, some of these takes are bold. Finally, we wrap the episode with fun and practical stocking stuffer ideas for reptile keepers, perfect for holiday gifting season.
