Colubrid and Colubroid Radio is a podcast on the MPR network dedicated to the deeper understanding of colubrid and colubroid snakes. On this show, co-hosts Dr. Zac Loughman and Clint Bartley interview expert guests while deep diving into the natural history, captive care, reproduction, and market of a specific species.
The goal of this show is to bridge the gap between the academic world and the hobbyist keeper. Our belief is that through the unification of these two worlds, we can build a stronger community; gain a greater grasp on proper herpetoculture; and in turn, lead a stronger effort in the conservation of the animals we all love.

Drama? None. Disrespect? Not here. This show and the values of the hosts are to bring community, knowledge, and growth to the industry.
