Episode 49: THN Host Hang-out!

I apologize for the long absence but am back in this episode discussing the current state of the reptile market and some trends that I've seen. I think it's an interesting topic and several lizard species have centered in alot of these discussions. Also, announcing a show for the Sundays in between LBR! Keep a watch for Saurian Stories to be more active in the future!

Yep, still here! I'm back from a work-induced hiatus. This episode was just me catching up with reptile happenings here and in herpetoculture in general. The chat came out in full force and we had a great conversation on a number of topics. Thank you for following along and glad to be back talking to you all again!

This was an awesome conversation. The Ready's went in depth on both the how and the why for their keeping of the Panther Chameleon. It was really nice to hear their thought process for setup, care and health of the animals. Great people to talk to! www.readysrainforest.com

50th episode! Pretty cool milestone and talking to a friend of mine about a bit of a hot button topic. UV! I like and I use Vivtech lights but I've also watched the various debates online and participated in several. This conversation was great, with Erica explaining what their products are and what they're capable of. And, importantly to me, what that allows you to do for and with your animals and their enclosures.

Sitting down with Justin to talk lizards, THN and all things reptiles! Don't forget to go to The Herpetoculture Network website and check out the raffle for Slate Reed. Drawing is Feb 27 on Snakes&Stogies!

Let's try this again. No intro, just straight into it because technology is fighting us. This was a great conversation about an iconic lizard species. The Uroplatus genus seems to take that next level of keeper dedication to find success and Yvette certainly has. Check her out on IG and at www.mistymountainphants.com

What an awesome conversation. Ron is a fixture of herpetoculture and has been integral to so much of the history of our hobby. And he was just an awesome guy to talk to. From giant Anole species to computer games and punk rock. This was a great time.

Very excited to talk to Houssam. Such a cool collection with a heavy emphasis on Nephrurus and just Australian lizards in general. He had some great insights about the hobby and I was really glad he shared those. He's also a budding field herper! It was cool to hear about some of his insights from his trip to Australia and I was happy to hear he's been herping here in the U.S.! Looking forward to seeing more pics as he gets them uploaded.

Zebra Skinks, cold water newts and dreams of giant enclosures for Dekay's Snakes! Talking with David was a blast. He has a diverse and unique collection and a perspective to keeping that I enjoyed hearing.

Ceratophora, Calotes, Cophotis, Anolis, Shinisaurus and on and on! All of the montane lizards and planted enclosures and humidifiers you could ever want! We had some technical difficulties to start the show but this was such an awesome conversation. Lizard eggs that incubate at 60 degrees!
