Raised With Reptiles is a reptile podcast for kids and families, hosted by Fadi Naddeh of Daffy’s Reptiles and Tyler France of The Chameleon Collective. Each episode puts a young reptile keeper in the guest seat to talk about the animals they love, how their interest in reptiles began and what it is really like growing up with reptiles. Then it is time to put their knowledge to the test with fun animal and reptile trivia games. The show gives young keepers a place to share their stories, teach us about their animals and connect with other kids who share the same passion. Whether your child already keeps reptiles or is just beginning to discover the animal world, Raised With Reptiles is a fun and educational show created for the next generation of reptile enthusiasts. Raised With Reptiles is a House Of Fauna Studios podcast.
Everything You Need to Know About Isopods with JR!
Meet JR, the young reptile and invertebrate enthusiast behind Tiny Tanks!
In Episode 5 of Raised With Reptiles, Fadi and Tyler dive into the incredible world of isopods with JR. We learn how he first became interested in these tiny crustaceans, how he cares for his colonies and why isopods are so useful in bioactive enclosures.
JR also tells us what it’s like vending at reptile expos, meeting customers and turning his passion for tiny animals into Tiny Tanks World. You may have already seen him vending at the Mississauga expos—and you can meet him at the Ottawa Pet Expo on October 24 and 25!
Of course, no episode would be complete without putting JR’s animal knowledge to the test with another round of Scale or Fail!
