This is one of the most important episodes I have recorded to date, it is a topic that impacts us all however the majority of us avoid discussing it. Jessica Hill is today's guest and she is here to help answer the question: "what will happen to your reptiles when you die?". Part of being a responsible reptile keeper is having a plan for the worst-case scenario. In this episode, Jessica gives us a full toolkit for how to navigate preparing for the death of a keeper.
