Gary Orner of Orner Exotics joins us on this podcast episode as a first-time guest! Gary has a breeding career of over a decade in Leopard Geckos alone and many more in the reptile hobby. Gary has a vast knowledge of Leopard Gecko history and experience. In this episode, we discussed his breeding operation, business expansion, reptile shows, and collaboration in the hobby. 

Just like every episode that we do with Chirs, this is another classic! In this episode, we catch up with Chris to discuss some must needed updates on breeding and his personal life. We also receive some great gecko advice and amazing motivation as always. 

Enjoy this bonus content with Matt! 

Welcome to Season Four of the Strength In Leos podcast! We're excited to be back at it and bring you guys some great content along the way. We brought on Matt Baronak to kick off the season premiere. We discussed some of the things that newer breeders are missing and talked all about the Joker Project! 

It's the season finale of season three! To wrap up this season, we brought John Scarbrough of GeckoBoa to discuss some much-needed updates about his operation. 

Jorge Diaz of Golden Valley Reptiles joins us on this episode of the podcast for some much-needed catching up. We caught up on how this past breeding season went, talked about reptile shows, and some of the tougher tasks that come with being a Leopard Gecko breeder. 

We're back on the podcast for our fifth round table breeder talk, this time with Heidi Nielsen of Xeno Gecko Morphs and Seth Hoffpauir of Huff's Heps. In this episode, we discussed some of the breeding that we hold ourselves to as breeders. In this day of age, there are many opinions on breeding ethics, but what should you do while breeding?  

We're back on the podcast for our fourth round table breeder talk, this time with Kevin Baron of Mutant Geckos and Miles Schwartz of Impeccable Gecko. This was an awesome episode since this was the first time both have been on the podcast at the same time. In this episode, we caught up on preparations for the 2021 breeding season (since this podcast was recorded earlier in the year). We also spent some time discussing some of the other species we have in our collection and would like to keep in the future.

Seth Hoffpauir joins us for Session Sixteen on the podcast to share some big news about a line of African Fat Tail morphs that he is working with. In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty about concerns about these lines and future steps. While I had him we also got to talking about AFTs and his projects.

This episode is a continuation of the previous episode which was recorded about a year apart from each other. Shane Kelley from Small Town Xotics joins us again to catch up since the last time we talked. Coming from different parts of the larger reptile hobby, I attempted to really pic Shane's brain on the operational aspects of his hobby, leveraging relationships, and even his opinion on Leo morphs.
