148: AAH How Should We Define “Reptile Breeding Mill”? | James Graham
James Graham of Top Shelf Geckos is a small-batch reptile breeder out of Canada, mainly focused on African Fat-Tailed Geckos, New Caledonian species, and Collared Lizards. In the episode, we discuss how James is able to produce a profit while providing enriching living conditions for his breeding stock. We also discuss the controversial concept of “breeding mills” and contemplate whether or not “industrial” breeding operations could be considered reptile breeding mills.
