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 herpetoculture-based podcast network that hosts: Animals at Home Podcast by Dillon Perron, Project Herpetoculture by Phillip Lietz and Roy Arthur Blodgett, Reptiles & Research Podcast by Liam Sinclair and Ellie Hills, and Animals Everywhere by Bryce Broom. Each show on the network brings all members of the reptile community together to discuss reptile husbandry, scientific research, breeding, 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!
