Kara is a real "OG" and has a wealth of knowledge and experience from her time working at NERD, as well as the direction her passion has taken her within her own collection. Enjoy!
At what point is there too much diversity in your collection? Or at what point do you need more diversity? Tonight, I bring on two of my very best friends in the hobby; Alans Stevens of Origins Reptile and Terry Burwell of TB Snakes. We get into some collection talk, as well as off-topic species discussions (Retics, Angolans, Mourning Geckos, Rhino Rats, etc).
Just a walk down memory lane, as well as a "goings-on" of my collection, followed by a rant on people selling Calicos that haven't been proven yet.
This week I answer a patron question and bring on Drew Russell from Fun Sized Reptiles to chat day geckos.

After roughly 5 years, we bring Nick Mutton back on the show to discuss Corallus annulatus and Corallus ruschenbergerii!

We know a lot of Corallus keepers out there have a fondness for naturalistic setups and we wanted to bring an expert with a lot of experience on to show everyone the ins and outs of setting up a vivarium. We're bringing Brian Fischer on to talk substrates, plants, water, and animals. This guy knows his stuff so don't miss it!
To start off the new year, We'll have none other than Nick Mutton coming on to give us a genus break down of Corallus and when the species split from other Boids. This will be a heavier topic and we suggest you pack a lunch! It should be very interesting as Nick passes his knowledge on and we hope to talk the listerns back a million years or so.
Alright everyone, we will be talking about breeding Amazon Tree Boas and everything you will need to know to be successful. So for all of you that have questions or may just be getting into Amazons this will be a great episode, we hope you tune in and we look forward to getting some calls.
