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!
Ben from Unseen Diversity discusses his tool, “My Vision for The Hobby” that he has created within Notion. This new project’s purpose is to find the “why” in reptile keeping, forming a plan for the future in reptile keeping and in life in general, finding how and what you will do for your goals, and more. He discusses the need in finding why you want to keep reptiles in order to prioritize them, execute your visions for the species you keep, improvements on their enclosures and care, as well as the setups you keep them in. Ben also briefly discusses his experience with various species, including the Slow Loris and other similar species like it.
