209: Are Snake Breeding Racks a Necessary Evil? | Summer Melville - AAH

Episode 209

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 01:28:28

Summer Melville of Kinova Reptiles discusses her background in reptile keeping, enrichment knowledge, and her career path that led to working with Kinova, the world’s leading Ball Python breeder. She shares details on how Kinova works as a breeding facility, the size of the facility, and the various goals and transitions of Kinova as a whole. She also talks in-depth about how the transition from a snake living in a tub to being moved into a large PVC display enclosure can be difficult, and how to make that an easier process for your snake. Ball pythons are obviously not meant to live in tubs their whole lives, and Summer discusses how YouTube content with Kinova and the new changes to their systems may help make the transition to larger enclosures and pet homes easier.

Chuckey of Madbio discusses his experiences with zookeeping, specifically with crocodilians and monitors regarding their husbandry, training, and intelligence. He shares details about his beginnings in observing wildlife, to efforts in breeding, to now where he has a successful career in working hands-on with various species.

Invasive species are also a topic that he dives in with great knowledge, having been living in Florida which has the largest population of invasive species due to the reptile pet trade. Chuckey pushes for the proper keeping of reptiles, respect for their wild counterparts, and the importance of learning, growing, and discussing reptiles in the proper way on social media.

Thomas Marriott of Exotics Keeper Magazine discusses his recent expedition to New Caledonia to find Crested Geckos in the wild and to study the crested gecko's native habitat.

Thomas also discussed the creation of Blue River Diets, a brand that offers complete Crested Gecko diets made from natural ingredients.

165: AAH Revolutionizing Herpetoculture with the Missing Link | Danielle Inman

Episode 165

Wednesday, June 28, 2023 • Duration 01:27:31

Danielle Inman is the owner and founder of TheOtherPets.com which is a consulting agency for both private pet keepers and professionals. Danielle has an incredible amount of experience working with exotics, she was a consistent fixture on National Geographic’s Animal ER and led the Avian and Exotics team at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists for 13 years. In my opinion, Danielle has revolutionized herpetoculture with her exotics consulting agency which I believe to be a major missing link in our quest to improve the trade.
