Hello lovelies! We just finished a super busy weekend at the Sacramento Reptile Show and instead of giving you a rushed episode, we chose to sit down and have a chat about Reptile Shows/Expos. What can you expect? If you are going to buy a new pet, what should you prepare? What are some Dos and Don’ts? We talk about it all! And stay tuned because you’ll get a full episode in normal CritterCast fashion NEXT week!

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!
