5: Troy Bumgardner – Animals at Home Network

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!

This week Phil and Roy have a conversation with Troy Bumgardner (@zookeeper_troy) of Denver Zoo. Troy is a longtime zookeeper who also has a collection of herpetofauna at home. Discussion topics include bats (!), advantages and disadvantages of zookeeping and private herpetoculture, enrichment, lighting, and more!
