Ask the Vet 2 is where we invited some of our past guests and our new author to relay some of the most common ailments within herpetoculture. Join Dr. Waffa, Dr. Bruce Bogoslavsky, and Christina Miller for an open dialogue which examines not only

‘Can reptiles really drink through their butt?’

We also discuss metabolic bone disease, enrichment, and much more!

Axolotls and comic books might sound like an unusual match but when you’re the author/creator of one of todays most followed web comic The Black Mudpuppy, then not only is it a perfect match, it’s a perfect match made in, well Mictlan that would be Aztec for ‘hell’. That’s right what’s more exciting than a mountain dwelling retired journalist with a bowel disruptor? You guessed it, a neotenic salamander with razor wit and more! Join our panel with Ethan Kocak as we discuss glowing proteins, metamorphoses, and much more!

In this Silver Reptile Show Anniversary Edition of the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona, Fl.  John sits down with our Executive Producer Chad Byrnes of Shamrock Reptiles and James Tintle of Tremendous Tricolors his usual co-host about what has changed over the years at what most consider the hottest show ticket of the year when it comes to herpetoculture. We get in-depth and behind the scenes somewhat on reptile shows and what they’re all about so sit back and enjoy.

08.14.14 is officially World Lizard Day which we’ve come to discover was originated by a mentor/colleague of ours.

Allen Salzberg whom many of us know as HerpDigest.org . I’ve looked up to Allen as a journalist and specifically as one who is constantly reporting on reptiles and herpetoculture as well as herpetology. No one else does this stuff. Anyway, Allen in honour of your wishes we  will proudly begin a tradition. Every year we will have a donation fund to a specific lizard conservation fund on World Lizard Day. Thanks to Allen Salzberg for starting this. Our guest tonight in celebration of World Lizard Day is none other than Mr. Class himself David of Davids Fine Geckos. David talks with us about leopard geckos and the ins and outs of morphs and much more.

Herpetological Societies have been around since herpetoculture’s earliest recorded history with the ASIH. In this episode we speak with some herp society board members about their thoughts on how herp societies have impacted herpetoculture over the years and what the future holds with the new advent of social media.
