PH Humility, Field Herping, & The Cosmic Octopus w/ Rob Stone
In this episode, Roy and Phil have a discussion with Rob Stone! Rob is one who needs little introduction, and has been instrumental in the establishment of several species of Old World ratsnakes in US herpetoculture (among other ongoing achievements). This discussion is all about the nuance inherent in herpetoculture and field herping, and the value of approaching these disciplines with an open mind. Have a listen!

AAH Is "Natural" Keeping Even Possible? | Rebecca Bentley
Rebecca Bentley is an ichthyologist (Fish Biologist), Fish and reptile keeper and PhD student. Her studies focus on the evolution of Loricariidae (plecos) in the United Kingdom, UK. Rebecca runs the YouTube Channel “Freshwater Ichthyology” which promotes ethical, progressive and scientific advances in Freshwater Fishkeeping. In this episode, we discuss how the aquarium hobby is often sugarcoated as a good example for captive animal care when that isn’t always the, we cover the trap of thinking that just because something is an “ecosystem” or “bio-active” that it is positive or natural and we also cover the morphology of catfish as well as their natural diets.

PH Ethnocynology and Interspecies Interactions w/ David Ian Howe
In this episode, Roy and Phil have a discussion with David Ian Howe! David is an archaeologist, artist, comedian, content creator, and educator who is particularly passionate about ethnocynology – the study of the relationship between humans and dogs. We discuss everything from the process of the domestication of dogs, to the value of interspecies interactions, to some of David’s influences as a creator and educator (shout out Steve Irwin, Dave Chappelle, etc.). This episode is a bit of a deviation from our usual herp-focused content, but remains relevant to our typical subject matter and admittedly has plenty of herp discussion as well. Have a listen!

Customer Reviews
March 24,2023
You’re on point! Once the animal is taken from the wild it’s no longer that same animal. The behavior and instincts change. For example. Usually when you take a wild species of animal and handle them consistently they eventually see you as a non-threat and tolerate you. If you take the same species and let’s say if you could find that exact same animal later on it would behave the exact same way it did the first time it came in contact with you. Trying to escape or defend itself! Or what have you. You guys are awesome so glad I found this pod! What you speak is what I think!! Keep it up!
A must listen for reptile lovers!
Animals at home is a must listen for reptile and specialty pet owners! Dillon, the podcast’s host, offers consistent, very well researched, and thought provoking episodes on the state of reptile keeping and where it’s going. The show gets industry leaders and top hobbyists/scientists as guests to discuss their expertise and opinions on various animal related topics. If you’re interested in herpetology, hearing from breeding experts, and how you can improve your reptile care then check out the podcast!
Great podcast, just a bit heavy though.
First off, this is a great pod, and I listen often. Great knowledgeable people who care about the subjects every time. It is a little depressing lately though, so maybe try to fit in a few optimistic episodes between the dark “state of the hobby” episodes? Every episode here deserves to be listened to, and I’m not saying that it should stop, but the joy of herpetoculture isn’t quite coming across. I’m one person, take my opinion or don’t. Keep up the amazing work you do - share the important topics; just try to keep sight of what got you into this amazing hobby.
