In this episode, the Shed Skin Scientist, Dr Ben Morrill of RGI joins me to discuss all things shed testing!  We touch on how RGI established themselves and became the market leader in the shed testing scene, and how shed testing is changing the way we breed the amazing animals.  Of course, we have to touch on the topic of the infamous DG A/B/C fiasco, and how data has proven differently along the way.  If youre in the UK and want to shed test your animals for the latest genes with RGI, then head on over to Cltch.io and create an account today! 

Join me as I sit down with the guys at Prague Morphs, and talk about all things royal pythons.  Prague Morphs are fairly new to the scene, but have made a HUGE impact already, and are already producing cutting edge clutches, time after time!  Serious thought and investment has paved the way for them, and big things are about to happen!  You dont want to miss this one!   

Join me, as I finaly get to sit down and chew the fat with Chris of Snakes and the Fatman/The Fatman Nation fame.  Chris' show goes from strength to strength year after year, and he was instrumental in helping me establish and create my very own reptile podcast.  With 30 years experience in reptiles and nearly a decade of podcasting under his belt, it was great to get Chris' unique perspective and outlook on the ball python game.  Sit back, relax and enjoy!   

You dont want to miss this one!    This episode doesnt really need any introduction, as you can see from the title!    Come and take a listen to the best in the business talk about changing his love and passion for reptiles, in to a hugely successful career, and get his take on what it takes to be successful now!     

This is a somewhat self indulgent episode, as we take a break from Ball Pythons and head in to the world of tree monitors.  Chris has been involved with reptiles from a young age, and now keeps and breeds some fantastic Tree monitor species, along with a few other little projects.  Listen to Chris' take on the hobby, his experiences and journey so far, and see what excitement the future holds for Chris.
