In it’s 5th straight year, 15 Minutes of Lame has become the powerhouse of New Breeder segments in the reptile community. Ending each year with a fun, community driven contest, our judges base their decision on contestant’s collection, their social media creativity, their ability to handle an interview and their business acumen and whether the judges think they will be around in 5 years.

Every contestant on 15 Minutes of Lame have been “invite only”. In other words you cant just request to be on the show. There has to be a buzz about you from other breeders, the judges, or in the community. More people have been to space than have been on 15 Minutes of Lame!

I want to thank all of you for making 15 Minutes of Lame the best new breeder segment in the reptile hobby!
