AmphibiCast Folgen

Have you ever been curious about the tarantula hobby? Well, in this episode of Thinking Outside the Glass Box I am joined by Richard of the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and we talk about all things tarantula. Richard has been keeping tarantulas for over 2 decades, he hosts the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and he runs the successful Tarantula Collective YouTube Channel.  We discuss the hobby, tarantula care, enclosure builds  and overcoming arachnophobia.  In fact, if you are an arachnophobe, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. You may be surprised by how many similarities the tarantula and amphibian hobbies share. Feel free to check out the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast for more content that includes an interview with your host -Dan Drobates - that is all about dart frogs! And subscribe to the Tarantula Collective on YouTube 

In this episode I'm joined once again by Mike Novy of Rainforest Junkys. We talk all about the care and breeding of the highly coveted  Cruziohyla crasoedopus , and later into the episode we talk about members of the Glass Frog Complex and some current issues involving legislation in the hobby. 

Microfauna are an integral part of naturalistic vivariums. Many keepers are utilizing isopods as supplemental cleanup crews and, as the hobby develops, they are becoming more and more popular. Rachel Schindler of Pet Pedes and Pods was kind enough to sit down with me tonight and share some of her insights into isopod keeping. Rachel breeds and works with dozens of different varieties of isopods and millipedes; and in this episode we not only talk about how to keep  isopods successfully as cleanup crews, but also how to keep some of the more collectible species on their own.  We also get into millipede care and the state of the isopod hobby. Feel free to follow Pet Pedes and Pods on Instagram and visit www.petpedesandpods.com
