Exploring ethical captive management of reptiles & amphibians through the lens of biological science, conservation, and human nature. The Animals at Home Network is a nature-based podcast network and is currently the home of several podcast programs: The Animals at Home Podcast hosted by Dillon Perron, Animals Everywhere hosted by Bryce Broom, Reptiles & Research Podcast hosted by Liam Sinclair and Ellie Hills, and Project Herpetoculture hosted by Phillip Lietz and Roy Arthur Blodgett. Each show on the network brings all members of the reptile community together to discuss breeding, reptile husbandry, scientific research, wildlife conservation, and more!
In this episode, Phil and Roy have a discussion with each other! When we set out with P:H, we initially anticipated having more of these one-on-one conversations, but that’s not exactly how it all panned out. Regardless, we’d like to make these more of a regular part of the podcast. In this one, we each share a bit of our experience so far with the podcast, before diving into some broader critique of some of the issues we see herpetoculture facing. We welcome any and all feedback on this one! Have a listen! And please like, subscribe, and share this episode, if you feel so inclined.
