They manage to combine quality scientific info with a light and enjoyable tone! I was surprised how many times I felt ignorant about a theme I’m so passionate for… and for that I’m grateful! Great podcast, I’ve enjoyed every episode, they are long but not long enough, totally worth it!

Even though I’m not even remotely related to herpetology except having a couple of exotic pets myself, I find this podcast wildly interesting as well as educational (entertaining too, love the puns) Can’t wait for moooore episodes✨

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...Read full review »

I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn more about herpetology. As a palaeontologist it is also complimentary to what I do for research :)

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...Read full review »

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.Read full review »

Great, relaxed podcast. Lots of in-depth info presented in an easy to understand way - and thoroughly entertaining 🐊

I like this podcast for the pure effort that the co-hosts put in! They clearly love what they do and have some fantastic discussions about herpetological subjects. Unfortunately, the discussions tend become very long and overdrawn and I often zone out and lost track of what’s going on. They...Read full review »

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

Excellent, intelligent discussion regarding herpetological papers and news. Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to forthcoming episodes.

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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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.
Brack Harmon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/18
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...Read full review »

It’s a sweet as show with lots of great herpetological facts and blows your mind with the lastest and great herp research. Also a pun here and there will crack you up. Keep up the great work!
Nicholas 🦎 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/24/18
Like all good podcasts, SquaMates has a fun mix of science, banter and discussion. It's the perfect podcast to put on whilst completing other tasks where you will pick up a whole number of facts such as the taxonomic status of geckos or the correct pronunciation of 'anolis'. There are...Read full review »

They know what they’re talking about, the banter adds to the already very interesting topics of discussion, and Mark’s puns are in my pun-loving opinion delectable. I recommend this podcast wholeheartedly to anyone who has any interest in amphibians and reptiles (minus birds, which as we know are...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »
