Rescuing reptiles with Jessica's Animal Friends | Episode 132

from The Wild Type Podcast · host The Wild Type Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Jessica from Jessica’s Animal Friends to talk about what it’s really like running a rescue for disabled reptiles and exotic animals while sharing the journey online. Jessica opens up about the reality of rescue work—the incredibly rewarding moments, the emotional challenges, and the heartbreaking losses that come with caring for animals that need extra support. We talk about the impact social media has had on her mission and what keeps her going through the difficult moments. And of course, we also get into what it’s like dating as a reptile girlie—because finding someone who understands your life full of rescue animals, vet visits, and reptile rooms is definitely an experience.Follow Jessica: - https://www.youtube.com/c/JessicasAnimalFriends- https://www.instagram.com/jessicasanimalfriends- https://www.tiktok.com/@jessicasanimalfriends- https://www.facebook.com/jessicasanimalfriendsGet early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://reptilinks.com/
