139: AAH How are Reptile Products developed? NEW Reptile Lamp & Tortoise Diet | John Courteney-Smith MRSB
John Courteney-Smith MRSB of Arcadia Reptile joins us on the podcast again to the research and development process that is necessary to develop new reptile products. In his episode, we discuss the current state of herpetoculture (both the positives and negatives), new reptile technology, whether or not you should use a substrate divider in your vivaria, and the benefits and criticisms of the Deep Heat Projector. John also walks us through the development of Arcadia’s new mercury-vapor bulb (D3EVO) specifically designed for the North American market as well as their new tortoise diet (Optimised52).
