Better Living Through Reptiles

In this episode we sit down with Kyle Elmore of the youtube channel @popmilk for a two hour talk about herping (lurking for reptiles and amphibians), creating habitat, passionately obsessing over milksnakes, why Indigo Snakes are so chill, self-education, embracing the living world as a side-hobby, coping with habitat loss, naming milk snakes,, the glory of tin, getting bit by copperheads, being attacked by africanized bees, teaching organic chemistry, and more. Check out Kyle's stuff at @popmilk_herping (instagram) and @popmilk (youtube).  Reminder that if the ads bum you out (and they should, because they're mostly for garbage and adjusted to targeted demographics), for a measly five bucks a month you'll have access to all the Crime Pays podcast episodes on the Crime Pays Patreon at www.patreon.com/crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt

Why do some plants grow where they do? How can geology cause new plant species to evolve? Why are some plants pollinated by flies, some by bats, some by birds, and others by bees? How does a plant evolve to look like a rock? How can destroying lawns soothe the soul? This is a show about plants and plant habitat through the lens of natural selection and ecology, with a side of neurotic ranting, light humor, occasional profanity, & the perpetual search for the filthiest taqueria bathroom.
