Venomous Snakes, Frogs, New Enclosures & More | Reptiles With Repticon Atlanta S04EP57 (REPTILE PODCAST)

In this week’s episode of Reptiles With Podcast, we explore why we feel disconnected from each other and from the animals we keep. Reptile expos and influencer events are missing something. Could it be similar to nature deficit syndrome? Let’s talk about how to reconnect, rebuild, and refocus the hobby toward passion, purpose, and people.

Our cohost just returned from filming a reptile documentary in Puerto Rico—and let’s just say things got wild. From jungle hikes to surprise encounters with invasive reticulated pythons, this episode of Reptiles With Podcast dives into the behind-the-scenes moments, travel stories, and what it’s really like filming reptiles in the field. We talk about the impact of invasive snakes on local ecosystems, the technical challenges of filming in the wild, and the growing problem of retics showing up where they shouldn't. If you love reptiles, storytelling, and adventure—this one’s for you.Sponsored by:MorphMarket: https://www.morphmarket.com/Dubia.com: https://dubiaroaches.com/Coco2Go: https://shop.cocodude.com/MERCH: https://modernreptileshop.com/collections/reptile-merch-for-sale1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaQN1-ZcfQ6ulG2hE41lIKw/joinSubscribe & Hit the Bell to STAY INFORMED!Timestamps:00:00 Making a Documentary26:00 Puerto Rico Stories 34:15 Other Herps FoundHostsYoshii @modernreptileshop Chuckey @madbioreptilesEric @reptiverseThe Reptiles With Podcast covers Repti-Culture with a comedic twist.

Morph Market is attacked after changing its shipping box requirements—and the reptile community is split. Are they raising standards… or pushing sellers into unnecessary upgrades? In this episode of Reptiles With Podcast, we explore the backlash and what this really means for breeders and hobbyists. Is this just an example of the community overreacting? Let’s unpack it all.Sponsored by:MorphMarket: https://www.morphmarket.com/Dubia.com: https://dubiaroaches.com/Coco2Go: https://shop.cocodude.com/MERCH: https://modernreptileshop.com/collections/reptile-merch-for-sale1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaQN1-ZcfQ6ulG2hE41lIKw/joinSubscribe & Hit the Bell to STAY INFORMED!Timestamps:00:00 Puerto Rico Documentary01:17 MorphMarket Shipping Policy23:15 Fathers Day28:00 White Rhino is Functionally Extinct 33:51 Reptile-ish Representation In Modern MediaHostsYoshii @modernreptileshop Chuckey @madbioreptilesEric @reptiverseThe Reptiles With Podcast covers Repti-Culture with a comedic twist.

One of our co-hosts just got their dream job as a zookeeper—and in this episode of Reptiles With Podcast, we break down the full story of how they made it happen. We also dive into some wild headlines: a prehistoric sea reptile has been discovered, Australian fossilized footprints reveal the earliest known reptile, and a sea turtle rehab center in Texas is doing incredible work. But it’s not all good news—Oregon Zoo was raided by police, uncovering malnourished animals, drugs, and firearms. This episode is a rollercoaster of career inspiration, animal conservation, and shocking zoo crime.Sponsored by:Repticon Reptile Shows: https://repticon.com/MorphMarket: https://www.morphmarket.com/Dubia.com: https://dubiaroaches.com/Coco2Go: https://shop.cocodude.com/MERCH: https://modernreptileshop.com/collections/reptile-merch-for-sale1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaQN1-ZcfQ6ulG2hE41lIKw/joinSubscribe & Hit the Bell to STAY INFORMED!Timestamps:00:00 Erics New Job21:38 The Gecko Gallery NYC24:34 Wet specimen: Komodo Dragon27:04 Sea Reptile Discovered in Canada28:45 Ancient Footprints from Australia reveal earliest-known reptile32:14 Sea Turtle Rehab in Texaas35:30 Oregon Zoo Raid: Malnourished Lions & Tigers, Guns & Drugs foundHostsYoshii @modernreptileshop Chuckey @madbioreptilesEric @reptiverseThe Reptiles With Podcast covers Repti-Culture with a comedic twist.
