22: Big Snakes & "Offensive" Art w/Kina Mae Campbell of Exotic Entities Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

I first “met” Kina Mae Campbell because I was a fan of her artwork, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out she was a reptile keeper too! Join Kina and I as we discuss her diverse collection, how she chooses what she wants to breed versus what animals she deems pets, and of course we have to talk about plants a bit! I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!
