149: Natural Leopard Gecko Habitat | Eco-Logic Gecko - AAH Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Tom Mellor is the creator of Eco-Logic Gecko, a YouTube channel dedicated to documenting the process of recreating the complex wild habitat of leopard geckos. Tom talks us through how a negative experience he had early on in his reptile-keeping career propelled him to create one of the most appealing leopard gecko setups I have seen. We discuss how Tom collects data and information, including the plants he uses, substrate, lighting, and more. We also cover how the benefits of focusing all of your time and energy on a single animal as well as the psychology of reptile keepers.

13: R&R An Underlying Issue in the Ball Python World Also Its Solution? Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

Is there an underlying reason that there are some ball pythons that struggle in a vivarium and some that do wonderfully? The Ball python has an amazing and ever-growing community of keepers surrounding it. But not all Ball python keepers see eye to eye? Why do some find they stress in vivariums when they test it and others do not? Ball python care has many layers and in this video, we try to peel some of those layers back.

Show notes

In this Round Table episode, @MikeTytula of Alpha Reptile & Jungle Vault and Armen Keuylian of @HerpTime discuss the fascinating genus, Takydromus, commonly referred to as Grass Lizards. This genus is an easy contender for the most underrated lizard genus in herpetoculture. They possess monitor-like intelligence, they are both active in their enclosure and interactive with their keeper, and they are beautifully coloured and most importantly, they are small! In this episode, Mike and Armen cover morphology, species differences, basic care and breeding, and more!
