According to Heart and Moon, here are the seven deadly sins of reptile breeders in the last episode before winter break! Ranked from least offensive to absolute no-no's, we go over our list of red flags to watch out for when looking to buy your next scaley friend. Also, Tryn cannot pronounce 'grumpy uncle'. But that's okay. We all have our weaknesses.

In this episode we have the privilege of digging through the mind of a lifelong scientist; our very special guest Dr. Donald Johnston makes an appearance and leads us through Genetics 102!

Don has a PhD in molecular biology and holds a BS in biochemistry. He is also a friend of Tryn's, and a fellow Seasonal Naturalist with her at Northwest Trek.

We could not have asked anyone better to give us such an exciting, fun, and yet gentle dive into genetics! We go deep on some other topics, too.

So grab your coffee and have a notepad ready - we certainly learned a lot from Don during this episode, and we hope you will, too!

Today we go over the good, the bad, and the 'Ruh Ruh Raggy' about Dysecdysis (i.e. bad sheds). Since Soo was a little under the weather, Tryn did most of the heavy lifting in this episode, but your dynamic duo was no less passionate or playful as we discussed why dysecdysis is undesirable, how to prevent it, and what to do when it happens!
