    Behind the Scenes of Reptile Education Shows!

    Episode #144 of Daffy's Round Tables! On this episode I'm joined by Rae from Rae’s Reptiles, and in this episode we talk all about doing reptile education shows. We get into what it’s like bringing reptiles into schools, birthday parties, and live events, what makes a good education animal, and how to create a show that’s fun, memorable, and actually teaches people something. We also talk about how to present reptiles in a way that helps people connect with them instead of being afraid of them, and of course we talk about what goes into building a business around reptile education, and the importance of doing outreach and social media. Rae gives us some good social media strategies too. We also talk about Rae's experiences in zoos. She has worked in several zoos here in Canada and has a lot of awesome stories to share. One of those zoos is Little Ray's Nature Centre that was in Hamilton btw. Shout out Little Ray's!!!

    Why Monitor Keepers Love The Indicus Complex!

    Episode #142 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I’m joined by Nick Lillis from Unlimited Exotics, who is also one of the co-hosts of the Monitor Brains Podcast. I’m also joined by Adam Wickens from Wickens Wicked Reptiles as co-host for this one, because we’re going deep into the world of monitor lizards. We spend a lot of time talking about crocodile monitors, what makes them so unique, Nick’s experience working with them, and what it actually takes to set them up properly and keep them well. We also get into the importance of good enclosure design and why monitors need to be understood on a much deeper level than a lot of people realize. We also talk about the indicus complex, including species like the mangrove monitor, peach throat monitor, quince monitor, and others, and break down what makes that whole group so interesting. On top of that, we talk about how supportive the monitor community can be, the different groups and species of monitors, where monitor keeping might be headed in the future, and briefly touch on laws, regulations, and the importance of responsible ownership and education. Big thank you to Adam for jumping in as co-host on this one. This was a really fun conversation and a super informative episode, especially if you’ve been wanting to learn more about monitors.
