The Wild Type Podcast

Back-to-school season has us feeling nostalgic, so we're reminiscing about our favorite—and maybe not-so-favorite—back-to-school memories before putting together a shopping list of a very different kind.We're creating the ultimate reptile shopping list and talking through the things we'd actually recommend buying for your reptiles, the things that might not be worth the money, and a few things that every reptile keeper should have on hand.Then we're keeping the summer vibes going with a fruity round of Smash or Pass! Fresh fruit vs. fruit-flavored candy, our favorite summer fruits, and plenty of other fruity debates are on the table.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://arcadiareptile.com/?utm_source=the_wild_type&utm_medium=podcast

Some reptiles have a reputation for being aggressive, difficult, or even dangerous—but how much of it is actually true?This week, we're putting some of the reptile world's biggest stereotypes to the test as we decide which reputations are completely deserved, only partially true, or totally misunderstood. From tokay geckos and reticulated pythons to chameleons and more, we're sharing our thoughts on where these reputations came from and whether they're actually fair.Before we get into the debate, we chat about the yellow tiger salamander featured in the new Toy Story movie and what we thought about seeing an amphibian make its Pixar debut. To wrap things up, it's time for another round of Smash or Pass, where we're ranking all things summer—from kayaking and paddleboarding to water parks, tubing, and everything in between.Whether you're here to defend your favorite reptile or just enjoy a fun summer debate, this episode has a little something for everyone!Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://arcadiareptile.com/?utm_source=the_wild_type&utm_medium=podcast

Are live auctions the right way to buy and sell reptiles?This week, we're sharing our thoughts on the growing conversation around live reptile auctions. While auctions have long been a part of industries like livestock and farm animals, we discuss why we don't think the same model is a good fit for reptiles. We break down some of the concerns, where we see potential issues, and what we'd rather see for the future of the hobby.Then we switch gears for another round of "Are You the Type of Girl?" This time we're talking vacation styles. Are you the type to have every restaurant booked and a color-coded itinerary planned months in advance, or do you prefer to land, explore, and see where the trip takes you? We compare our travel styles and share a few stories from vacations past.From thoughtful reptile discussions to lighthearted debates, this week's conversation has a little something for everyone.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://frostbitefeeders.com/- https://arcadiareptile.com/?utm_source=the_wild_type&utm_medium=podcast
