On this laid-back episode, I’m joined by the man Mike Schade from Port Credit Pets.

In today’s episode, we’re hanging out with the one and only Khai Phan a.k.a. Big_Lizard1o3 or the mastermind behind Mangrove Mecca. Kai is a wizard with monitor lizards especially mangroves monitors and he’s also got the whole feeder insect breeding game down to a science. We get into the details of how he raises everything from grasshoppers to roaches, crickets and mealworms and we nerd out about reptile nutrition.

We also dive into the world of breeding mangrove monitors and chat about why Khai packed up and moved from California to Texas. Plus, you’ll hear about his awesome collaborations with Reptilandia Reptile Lagoon. Thanks for watching!

On this episode, I’m joined by Tyler from The Chameleon Collective. We start off talking about how he first got into reptile keeping (spoiler: mountain horn dragons had a big role) and then talk about Tyler’s current collection and some of the species he’s working with, including the Knuckles Mountain Pygmy Lizard (Cophotis dumbara) that he’s currently breeding. It’s a really cool species that I think more people should be working with, so we spend some time diving into those.

Tyler is also an 8th grade biology teacher, so we talk about how he incorporates reptiles into his classroom and how he’s helping inspire the next generation to appreciate reptiles and wildlife.

We also talk about Happy Dragons, a group of reptile creators and educators putting out weekly episodes teaching people about reptiles. Tyler plays a really interesting role there, positioning himself as the “expert student”, asking the questions that everyone else wants answered.

And towards the end of the episode I found out Tyler is actually a parasite specialist, which opened up a whole other conversation that we only scratched the surface of — so we’ll definitely have to bring him back for a full parasites episode in the future.

On this episode, I’m joined by Nathaniel Gibson, CEO and founder of the Apollo Reptiles Co-op. We dive into the story behind the co-op, why it exists, how it originally started as a rescue, and what led to the transition into a cooperative model focused on accountability and ethical breeding standards. Nathaniel breaks down what “ethical standards” actually mean in practice and how the co-op is working to raise the bar for breeders.

We also get into Nathaniel’s personal collection, including chondros, carpet pythons, blood pythons, tortoises, and more. He’s currently in the middle of moving his reptile room and building a massive tortoise enclosure so we talk about that too! And make sure you stick around to the very end… we’ve got a special guest joining us for the final segment.

On this episode, I sit down with Jason from Ghouls and Geckos and the Gecko Exchange Podcast Network to dive into some of the more uncommon species he’s keeping with a big focus on Strophurus geckos.

Jason keeps several species of Strophurus, and we break down what makes them so interesting to work with, how he sets them up, and what he’s learned from breeding and maintaining them. We talk through enclosure design, seasonal cycling, and how he structures his reptile room around natural temperature and humidity fluctuations to keep his animals thriving.

Beyond Strophurus, Jason also works with a variety of other unique species including multiple Cyrtodactylus, Chinese cave geckos, Pachydactylus macrolepis, and even toad-headed agamas. We get into what draws him to these lesser-seen animals, how he chooses species for his collection, and what he has planned for future projects and breeding goals.

On this episode of Daffy’s Round Table, I’m joined by Preston from @Natures_in_a_nutshell one of the talented competitors at the Tinley NARBC Enclosure Build-Off hosted by Chewy & Wickens Wicked Reptiles. We chat all about what it takes to prepare for a high-stakes build like that, from the initial vision to the finishing touches. Preston walks us through the thinking behind his entry, shares the lessons he’s learned from building his own enclosures, and gives us a glimpse into his personal collection. From Schneider skinks to other underrated species, we dig into the animals that inspire him and why building the right setup can make all the difference.

In this episode, I sit down with Wally Kern, the creator behind Supreme Gecko, for a deep dive into one of the most underrated species in the hobby: Pictus Geckos (Paroedura picta).

Wally has been working with pictus for years and brings a TON of experience to the table. We break down everything you need to know about this species from husbandry and feeding to morphs, breeding strategies, egg incubation, and why pictus geckos are such an amazing project for both new and advanced keepers.

We also branch out into some of the many other species Wally keeps that don’t get nearly enough love in the reptile world. And of course, we talk about what’s next for the Supreme Gecko brand as it continues to grow and expand.

In this episode, I’m joined by a guest who truly needs no introduction—Tanner Serpa of SerpaDesign. Tanner has been inspiring keepers, creators, and nature lovers for over a decade with his beautifully crafted vivariums, aquascapes, and naturalistic builds. I’ve personally been watching his content for nearly 10 years now, so it was a real honor to finally have him on the podcast to chat. We talked about how he approaches each build from concept to completion, how he balances aesthetics with function, where he draws inspiration, and the philosophy behind building something that actually lives and breathes. We also got into YouTube strategy, content longevity, and the process of turning a passion for nature into a full-time creative journey.

Chameleons are their own niche within the niche that is the reptile hobby and I think their care & husbandry is abit of an enigma for most reptile keepers

On this episode I’m joined by one of the leading educators on Chameleons in the hobby, Bill Strand of Chameleon Academy and we dive into all things chameleons!

Did you know there were over 200 species of chameleons? Or that there were several different types of Jackson’s chameleons? We also talk about why Chameleons have such a bad reputation, is there care really as hard as people think? And ofcourse how we can do better when it comes to Chameleon husbandry!

Bill is also a leading entrepreneur in this industry with multiple different projects on the go all the time! So towards the end of the episode we also talk about the importance of having a social presence as a breeder or a business and then we just nerd out about a bunch of content creation stuff!

Enjoy!

In today's episode, we're diving into the concept of rewilding – exploring the possibilities of re-releasing species into their native habitats and whether they can truly thrive.

To help us navigate this incredibly fascinating subject, we have two incredible guests on board, Carlos Galviz and Jack Small. Were going to be using the oophaga lehmanni project happening at Cali Zoo which Carlos is heavily involved in as a case study for our conversation.

Also! I want to give a huge thank you to Dan from Amphibicast. Not only did he help set up today's episode, but he's also joining me as my co-host for this one!

Make sure you check out Episode 132 of Amphibicast. They explore the project in great detail, and it's definitely worth a listen!
