About this episode

Fadi Naddeh interviews Mariah from Reptifiles about reptile care and husbandry.

Episode #139 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I’m beyond excited to welcome Mariah from Reptifiles! If you’ve ever Googled a reptile care guide, chances are you’ve landed on her incredibly detailed work. We chat about how she first got into the reptile hobby, her path to becoming a reptile husbandry specialist, and how Reptifiles came to life. Of course, we dive deep into her famous care guides, how she creates them and why they’re so trusted. And we tackle reptile lighting, breaking down the mysteries of UVA, UVB, heat, and bulb types. Even after years of keeping reptiles, I learned so much on this episode and you will too! Huge Thank you to Exo Terra for sponsoring this podcast and making this episode possible.
