This is one of the best herpetology podcasts. They go into depth on taxonomy and it is much appreciated.

They do a much better job than some other podcasts in the nature world to keep things interesting and I love how they go into such depth about whatever topic they’re on, not to mention the HERpetelogy segment... highly recommend this one for when you have time to both listen and google concurrently. Hakuna squamata!

I am so so so happy with the HERper stories. I was crying at my desk when listening to the segment on JBP, she was one the women I studied in grade school for Women's History Month and I love her dearly. I love the pod, I’m obsessed with you lot, thank you for being my friends for a couple hours a month. :)

A wonderful blend of extremely smart, articulate, and knowledgeable discussion, friendly banter, and oh-so-terrible puns. Probably only of interest to people already very interested in reptiles and amphibians, but if you're in that set of people, you should love this.

Love this podcast! Especially if I’m on my way out to go herping! Keep up the great work guys!

I am an aspiring paleoartist and while not going into herpetology, was drawn to this podcast through my appreciation of Gabriel Ugueto, whose work is stunning. SquaMates is incredibly in-depth for being so humorous, and incredibly humorous for being so in-depth. The differing backgrounds and palpable chemistry of the show's hosts make it a breeze to listen to hours of phylogenetic debate and discussion. This was the first podcast I have ever listened to on my own accord, and I was disappointed to later learn not all podcasts are as good as this one! Keep up the amazing puns

If you like questionable herp puns, long podcasts, and herpetology, SquaMates is the right podcast for you. Mark, Gabriel, and Ethan are three enthusiastic and hilarious hosts, whose differently similar backgrounds really compliment one another as they explain/talk about new herp papers, their work, the correct pronunciation of anole, and other exciting herp tidbits and topics. Really great pod, the only thing I don’t like is that they only upload a podcast once a month, but I feel like the length of the podcast helps makes up for it.

Listened to the first two episodes so far. Great podcast. Good mix of science and humor which makes for very effective education. Delivered in a way that experts in herpetology and more casual listeners, alike, can enjoy. Excited to hear more!

The hosts are very entertaining and brilliant. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. I have high hopes for the future of this podcast.

This podcast offers a wonderful mix of herpetological goofiness and thoroughly researched and well cited science. I can’t get enough of Gabriel’s extensive taxonomic expertise, Ethan’s enthusiasm and banter about herps, and I also really love Mark’s many puns. Also Mark’s accent is rather delightful and fun to do impressions of.

What is it like sitting in a room with some herpetological obsessives? You'll find out here! It is easy listening to Mark, Gabriel, and Ethan. I found myself looking up terms they used and thinking about the topics they raised long after. You can sit back and enjoy the easy banter during that long commute or else use this as a learning tool to help your own growth. Whatever you are in the mood for!

This podcast is great for learning about the animals I've loved since I was a kid in greater detail. The first episode was a great overview of reptiles and amphibians in general, and I can't wait to go into greater detail about specific groups. Mark, Ethan, and Gabriel are charming hosts and are easy to listen to. For those who enjoy the Tetrapod Zoology Podcast and others like it, I strongly recommend this podcast as well!
