Howdy Y’all and welcome to the EEARSS by Alligator Robb Podcast, produced by Terrier TV at Titusville High School.

In Season 5 Episode 18, we sit down with Cody Bartolini — a lifelong reptile professional whose journey began in the deserts of Las Vegas, Nevada, chasing snakes and lizards as a kid and turned into a career dedicated to venomous reptiles and crocodilian conservation.

Cody began his formal path in herpetology as Vice President of the Southern Nevada Herpetological Society before relocating to Florida to fully immerse himself in the reptile industry. His hands-on experience spans some of the most respected institutions in the field.

He has served as Venomous Reptile Collections Manager at Glades Herp Farm and worked at the Reptile Discovery Center & MedToxin Venom Lab. In 2010, he joined the world-renowned St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, advancing to Senior Reptile Keeper. He later became Curator of Reptiles at the Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary.

Today, Cody is Founder and Executive Director of the Reptile Preservation Institute in Melrose, Florida — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit zoological facility focused on venomous reptiles and crocodilians. His work centers on conservation, responsible husbandry, public education, and preserving species that are often misunderstood.
