    Best reptile podcast
    Very evidence based informative content that’s entertaining covering a variety of reptile topics! One of if not the only podcast talking about testing which is really needed in the reptile community. Thank you for all that you do!!
  • GiveUsSurvivalStories
    I love this podcast!
    Informative and entertaining while being super friendly and casual! I love it! This podcast makes me want to get more involved in the overall reptile community and my local community (PNW) as a small breeder of Ball Pythons (and soon Dionne’s rat snakes!) Thanks for putting the effort into producing this and keeping things so positive!
  • J.A.May
    Informative and fun!
    Recently discovered this gem and powering through from episode one. The hosts, Jana and Jessica, complement each other well in personality and experience. Thanks for your dedication to advancement of the hobby and and making it fun!
  • BattleRat
    Fantastic pode
    I just found this podcast and absolutely love it. Not only will this podcast have you cracking up your also going to learn something every episode!
  • Hopheadslyr
    Great podcast
    Great podcast! Love the mix of education and fun!
  • LisaFar
    Education, ball python, and other morph snake centric
    Really like this podcast, I’ve learned quite a bit about morph breeding. But, favorite is when Jessica gets nerdy and discusses topics like pathogenesis, pathogens, and hemipenis. Good stuff! NSF but they warn you
  • SimplyxTwisted
    Shining positive light on the reptile community
    Really enjoy this podcast, stumbled on it a while back and now listen to and watch (video is awesome) every time it comes out. Continually evolving and improving, great educational and entertaining content every week. Keep it up and thank you!
  • pythonbite
    Thank you!!!
    Great podcast with lots of information and laughs. Keep up the good work and thank you.
  • Jake(earthworm)Hole
    Awesome show!
    Keep ‘em coming! Love to learn reptile info, but you’ve accomplished being entertaining at the same time as well!
  • Gray Family Snakes (Roger)
    Learned a lot while being highly entertained
    The personalities and humor are great while they drop a lot of knowledge. Excellent for Ball Python breeders that may be Boa and Colubrid curious. They also convinced me to test my entire collection for Nido using RAL due to the endemic that is rarely mentioned elsewhere.
  • Mark at 403 Fauna
    Great Podcast!
    Jessica and Jana are very knowledgeable about their interests and share that with their audience in an entertaining fashion. This is a must listen if you love snakes.
  • The M1Hbuck
    Holdback rack podcast
    I’ve listened to almost all of the podcasts available. The girls are fun to listen to because they have more of a hobby approach to their businesses than others. The put a relatable spin on topics and conversations with each other. With Jessica’s degree and background education you can tell the animals interest her and that’s why she does these podcasts. Jana is more relatable to a majority of the audience because she’s learning as she goes and still able to give good input on topics. I feel with a lot of big YouTubers they are in it for the money and their channels are basically ads and that shows to the audience. The girls make it seem like a more obtainable goal and highlight the fun part of the hobby for the majority of us small breeders/collectors out there. John
  • Ryyyyann
    Humorous While keeping it real!
    These ladies are awesome. Love how the stand up for bio security and improving the industry.
  • Snakes and the Fatman
    The Holdback Rack Podcast
    I can't even believe it took me so long to hear of this show. Although I don't agree with everything these women say, I still think the talks are incredibly natural, informative, and funny. They're basically like smarter, better lookin' versions of me. Easily one of the best shows I've listened to this year.
  • asmroyaltails
    Definitely not Jana
    I actually love this podcast and listen to every episode while I’m cleaning bins or when I can’t sleep. Want to learn something while you’re laughing? We are for you! NSFW a bit weird, a bit dirty, a lot of fun!!
  • Small Town Xotics
    🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
    New listener and love every episode I’ve listened to so far. Knowledgeable hosts with splash of sass and humor. Apple apparently can’t get my name right either
  • rudygolds
    Love these hotties!
    Just started listening recently. If you don't have the details (I don't!) on all the reptile industry drama that is talked about on other podcasts, you can get caught up here. Lots of good info/potty talk :)
  • sal gomez
    Love your style!
    Been listening for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! When I listen to a podcast and it goes by quickly I know I’m super interested in the conversations. You guys are super easy to listen to and come with a lot of knowledge. Thank you for the really great content! Love the no “holdback” humor too 😂
  • Forward Motion Reptiles
    Thanks from Forward Motion Reptiles
    Thank you for being the change we need!
  • Snake Lady7
    Telling it like it is in the reptile hobby and from a women’s point or view
    Potty mouth and crass but I enjoy hanging out with the ladies every week while I clean cages.
  • Def not Jessica's husband...
    .
    I'm definitely not Jessica's husband and this is my favorite podcast in the citadel.
