50: Koalas (and how we can help them)

50: Koalas (and how we can help them)

Hello CritterCast friends and family! It’s EPISODE 50 (can you believe it?) and Cassie and Koreena are back with a full episode. This one is jam packed. We knew we wanted to do something special and since Australia has been struggling with some pretty nasty bush fires for a few weeks, it only seemed right to talk about Koalas.

But in true CritterCast fashion, we had to dive deep to find out really what the threat is to Australian wildlife and what are responsible ways we can help. See the new tab on our website with some of the organizations we feel best about donating to. This episode also features a promo from our friends at the Hidden Wings and Bloodlust Podcast!

So we went to the San Jose Reptile Show and Cassie realized we had NEVER done an episode on Blue Tongue Skinks? How? How did we get 41 episodes into this podcast and never touch on one of our FAVORITE reptiles? This episode we remedy that and give you a quick peak into the world of the chillest, chonkiest of lizards. Though they may seem snake-like to the average onlooker, Blue Tongue Skinks are definitely lizards. Take that taxonomy!

It’s Episode 28 and we’re back in action with arguably the most iconic of pet reptiles: The Bearded Dragon! With several different subspecies and lots of stories of our own foster bearded dragon, this episode is sure to please even the pickiest of listeners. We talk about why we think beardies might be more bird than reptile, and why we agree they are a GREAT first reptile!
