    Best Herp Podcast Out There
    I’m so glad I found this podcast as the hobbyist and budding herpetologist I hope to be! I learn so many new facts and cool things every single episode, I simply can’t get enough. Every interview and conversation is an enormous contribution to the community, our knowledge of reptile conservation, and urgency for outreach. I dare say this is the best wildlife/animal podcast of any kind, and I recommend it to every reptile nerd I know. I would recommend this to everyone regardless of their feelings towards reptiles, because it’s just SO fascinating.
  • Ice Age Dizzle
    Great content!!
    If you love reptiles and snakes in particular, this is the podcast! Dr. Jenkins is fantastic and has amazing guests. The Orianne Society does great things, and this podcast is just one part of it. Definitely worth following.
  • 😛💝

    I hate snakes but well done! It’s still interesting 😇

    Justice for Snakes!
    This podcast was recommended by Noah Fields, a popular herper on YouTube who has an amazing knowledge of herpetology. Definitely a great podcast if you’re interested in reptiles and want to learn more about them. Very impressive and intelligent guests, as well.

    Disappointed
    I’m sorry but I really don’t want to hear about resumes. Yes, everyone wants a pat on the back from time to time. But this was not only dull, but also not what I expected.
