AmphibiCast Folgen

In this episode we once again venture outside the glass box, and into the world of chameleons. My guest tonight is the one and only Bill Strand. Bill is the host of the Chameleon Academy Podcast and operates the Chameleon Academy website. Bill has decades of experience keeping and breeding chameleons and in this episode we talk about some similarities in our respective hobbies,  husbandry issues, the role of social media in the hobby and of course, a Bill offers plenty of sound advice on how an amphibian keeper can best transition into a successful chameleon keeper. 

Stefania (AKA the Dart Frog Queen)  is my guest tonight.  We talk about her journey through  the amphibian hobby and why she created her influential Youtube Channel.  Although Stefania is not actively involved in the hobby anymore, she was kind enough to come our of retirement and share her insights with us.  Some of the topics we discuss include the importance of a good mentor, mossy frogs (theleoderma corticale), streamlining a large collection and what it takes to be a responsible hobbyist. 

In this episode Josh Coppola joins me from the UK by way of Italy. Josh and I discuss some of his experiences keeping newts and salamanders in captivity as well as how Bsal has significantly effected European salamander populations. We also discuss Josh's website salamanderland.com. Salamanderland.com contains a wealth of quality  up to date information, care sheets and husbandry insights.  I encourage you to check it out if you're interested in getting into caudates. Although we didn't have the greatest audio in the episode due to some wifi issues, this episode is still  packed with some very insightful observations and  information on all things salamander.
