  • Welcome to The Reptile Guild | Why We Left Reptiles Unplugged
    Jun 26 2026

    Welcome to the very first episode of The Reptile Guild. In this inaugural episode, Shane Kelley of Small Town Xotics joins Josh & Alisha Harbin of Herpin Harbins to explain what The Reptile Guild is, why we created it, and what you can expect moving forward.

    We discuss: • Why we decided to move on from Reptiles Unplugged • The meaning behind The Reptile Guild name • Our vision for the future of the show • Community, education, and mentorship • The format of future episodes • What listeners and viewers can expect going forward • Our goals for bringing reptile keepers and breeders together

    The Reptile Guild was built around the idea that the reptile hobby is strongest when knowledge is shared, relationships are formed, and the community grows together. Whether you keep ball pythons, western hognose snakes, boas, kingsnakes, or simply love reptiles, we hope you’ll join us as we build something special. Building Knowledge. Growing Community.
