In this episode, we celebrate April Fools by dressing up as each other — wigs and all — and recording the entire episode in our ridiculous lookalike outfits. We kick things off with a reptile keeper horror story about the time a snake hid a dead rat for days before it was finally discovered. Then, since it’s gardening season, we talk about plants you can grow for your reptiles or add to enclosures, including options like chia sprouts, dandelion, hibiscus, and collard or mustard greens. For our girly segment, we ask: Are you the type to have a celebrity crush? and share our first celebrity obsessions. We wrap things up by trying new Peeps flavors to see which ones are actually worth the hype.

This week we’re spilling some Reptile Keeper Confessions — and trust us, some of them are very relatable. From our own reptile keeping slip-ups to anonymous listener submissions, we’re sharing the funny, chaotic, and slightly questionable moments that happen behind the scenes of the hobby. We also chat about tips for keeping reptiles as the weather warms up, including small husbandry adjustments that can make a big difference during the seasonal shift. Plus, Neptune gives an update on Triton the chameleon and how things have been going lately.To wrap things up, we taste test a variety of Easter candy — including some very questionable jellybean flavors — and give our honest reactions. Expect some laughs, a little chaos, and maybe a few confessions that make you feel better about your own reptile keeping moments.

This episode has a little bit of everything. We start by figuring out which Hogwarts houses we belong in, plus a very important life update: befriending the neighborhood crows.

For the main topic, we talk about something that doesn’t get discussed enough in the reptile hobby — what happens after the beginner phase. The excitement of getting your first reptiles eventually settles into long-term routines, and we dive into things no one really prepares you for: when care starts to feel repetitive, staying engaged in the hobby without impulse buying new animals, mentally outgrowing beginner setups, and the temptation to chase more “advanced” or flashier species.

Then we do a taste test of new Peeps flavors and give our very serious and professional rankings.
