The Wild Type Podcast

Why isn't your reptile eating? Whether you have a snake refusing meals, a gecko turning down its favorite insects, or another reptile that suddenly seems uninterested in food, there are several reasons it might be happening.

This week, we're talking about what to do when your reptile stops eating, the potential reasons behind a loss of appetite, and what to consider before jumping to conclusions. From environmental factors to other possible causes, we're breaking down what reptile owners should know when their animals refuse food.We're also catching up on Neptune's trip to Italy! From exploring the history of Rome to enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery of Capri and Sorrento, we're recapping the highlights, favorite experiences, and all the fun from the trip.

Our Reptiles Around the World tour is heading to Madagascar—the mecca of reptiles! We’re talking about some of our favorite reptiles from this incredible island, from species you probably already know and love to some seriously unique reptiles you may have never heard of. Madagascar is home to some of the most fascinating reptiles on the planet, and there are plenty of them we could talk about all day.

Then we’re switching gears for a little real-life conversation about moving in with a significant other—what changes when you start sharing a home, the adjustments that come with it, and the things we wish we knew beforehand.

Another stop on our Reptiles Around the World tour, and this one is a GOOD one!

We’ve officially reached the end of Monsters of God! PHEW.

In our final recap, we’re breaking down the last episode, including the capture and arrest of Anson Wong, the biggest moments from the finale, and all of the questions and reactions we’re left with now that the series is officially over.

Then we’re giving our final thoughts on Monsters of God as a whole—what we thought of the story, the reptile-related elements, the moments that shocked us, and whether the series ultimately delivered on what we were hoping for.

Why do geckos drop their tails? Why are snakes constantly flicking their tongues? And what in the world are chameleons doing when they clean their eyeballs?

This week, we’re getting into some of the weirdest reptile behaviors we’ve seen and breaking down what’s actually going on behind them. From tail dropping to tongue flicking to chameleons giving their eyeballs a deep clean, reptiles have some seriously strange ways of doing things.

Before we dive into the reptile talk, we’re also catching up on some very questionable social media etiquette—like whether it’s okay to like a collab post of your ex’s wedding when his wife is the one who posted it. Because apparently, even Instagram has rules we need to figure out.

We’re back with another Monsters of God recap—and after episodes 3 and 4, we have A LOT to say.

We’re breaking down everything that happened, the moments that shocked us, the things that left us questioning what we were watching, and our honest reactions as reptile keepers watching the story unfold.

If you’ve been watching along with us, you already know this show has given us plenty to talk about—and these two episodes were no exception.

As our reptiles grow older, their care can change right along with them. This week, we're talking about what it's like when a beloved reptile enters their senior years and how we can adjust their care as they age. We share what to look out for, how their needs can change, and what we can do to make their later years as comfortable as possible.

Then we lighten things up with another round of Smash or Pass, this time putting some of the latest nail trends to the test. From fun new designs to trends we're not quite sure about, we're sharing our very honest opinions.

New nails and a new episode of Monsters of God—and somehow the second one was even crazier than the first.

We kick things off with our latest nail designs before getting into our reaction to Episode 2 of HBO's Monsters of God. And when we say this episode was crazy, we mean CRAZY. The show takes things to a whole new level, and we're giving you our completely raw, unfiltered reaction to everything we just watched. This one definitely isn't PG-13, and there was a LOT to unpack.

If you watched Episode 2 and thought, "Did that really just happen?"—you're in good company. We're breaking it all down from the perspective of reptile keepers who have some very strong feelings about what we're seeing.

Have you ever been absolutely convinced you wanted a certain reptile, only to realize later that it just isn't the right fit for you?

We're talking about the reptile species we once thought we wanted to keep and why we've since changed our minds. From changes in our lifestyles and priorities to learning more about what these animals actually need, we share the species we've taken off our wish lists and what made us reconsider.

Then we wrap things up with a listener question about one of our favorite topics: enclosures! How big does a Leachianus gecko enclosure really need to be, and is there such a thing as an enclosure that's too big for a reptile? We talk through the factors we consider when choosing enclosure size and what matters most for creating a great environment for your animal.

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.

A few life updates kick things off, but the real conversation starts when we react to the highly anticipated first episode of HBO's Monsters of God.

As reptile keepers, we were absolutely disgusted and appalled by what we saw. We give our completely raw, unfiltered reaction to the way reptiles are portrayed in the show, the things that left us horrified, and why we felt the need to talk about it. This isn't a polished review—we're reacting as reptile keepers who genuinely care about these animals, and we have A LOT to say.

Then we completely switch gears with a much more lighthearted video of a guy attempting to answer funny questions about girlhood to see if he would survive as a girl. We react to his answers, share our own thoughts, and see just how well he understands the girl experience.
