The Wild Type 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.

In this episode, we're catching up with a quick update on Lyssa's newest nail set before putting our reptile knowledge to the test!

We play a reptile-themed guessing game where one of us has a mystery reptile species on our forehead and has to figure out what it is by asking only yes-or-no questions. It sounds easy... until you're trying to narrow down hundreds of reptiles with just a handful of clues. Expect plenty of wrong guesses, surprising hints, and a lot of laughter along the way.

Whether you're a seasoned reptile keeper or just enjoy a good game, this episode is full of fun, friendly competition, and reptile nerdiness.

In this episode, we're mixing reptiles, pop culture, and plenty of laughs!
We kick things off by talking about Euphoria and one of the show's most memorable reptile moments. A snake is portrayed as a deadly rattlesnake... except it definitely isn't. We break down the species that actually appears on screen, why it matters, and some of the creative movie magic used to make it fit the scene.
Then we swap some of our funniest vacation stories, from unexpected mishaps to the kinds of moments that only seem to happen when you're traveling. To wrap things up, we play a round of Blind Ranking, where we have to rank different ways to eat eggs before knowing what comes next. The results are egg-actly as chaotic as you'd expect.
Whether you're here for reptile facts, behind-the-scenes TV trivia, or just a good laugh, this episode has a little something for everyone.

Neptune shares what it was like getting recognized from TikTok, while Lyssa gives an update on changes she's making to her reptile room. We also dive into a conversation about self-care and ask the question: how much is too much to spend on yourself?

On the reptile side, Lyssa shares stories from pet-sitting beetles, and Neptune gives an update on shipping out two more male baby chameleons to their new homes.

To wrap things up, we switch gears and talk about moving in with a significant other—what we've learned, what we wish we'd known sooner, and some tips for making the transition a little smoother.

It's a classic catch-up episode filled with reptile updates, personal stories, and plenty of conversation along the way.
