    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.

  5. Breeding Rare Pygmy Lizards & Chameleons With The Chameleon Collective

    Breeding Rare Pygmy Lizards & Chameleons With The Chameleon Collective

    Episode #136 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I’m joined by Tyler from The Chameleon Collective. We start off talking about how he first got into reptile keeping (spoiler: mountain horn dragons had a big role) and then talk about Tyler’s current collection and some of the species he’s working with, including the Knuckles Mountain Pygmy Lizard (Cophotis dumbara) that he’s currently breeding. It’s a really cool species that I think more people should be working with, so we spend some time diving into those. Tyler is also an 8th grade biology teacher, so we talk about how he incorporates reptiles into his classroom and how he’s helping inspire the next generation to appreciate reptiles and wildlife. We also talk about Happy Dragons, a group of reptile creators and educators putting out weekly episodes teaching people about reptiles. Tyler plays a really interesting role there, positioning himself as the “expert student”, asking the questions that everyone else wants answered. And towards the end of the episode I found out Tyler is actually a parasite specialist, which opened up a whole other conversation that we only scratched the surface of — so we’ll definitely have to bring him back for a full parasites episode in the future.

    From Rescue To Co-op: How Apollo Reptiles Co-op is Changing Breeding Standards!

    Episode #135 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I’m joined by Nathaniel Gibson, CEO and founder of the Apollo Reptiles Co-op. We dive into the story behind the co-op, why it exists, how it originally started as a rescue, and what led to the transition into a cooperative model focused on accountability and ethical breeding standards. Nathaniel breaks down what “ethical standards” actually mean in practice and how the co-op is working to raise the bar for breeders. We also get into Nathaniel’s personal collection, including chondros, carpet pythons, blood pythons, tortoises, and more. He’s currently in the middle of moving his reptile room and building a massive tortoise enclosure so we talk about that too! And make sure you stick around to the very end… we’ve got a special guest joining us for the final segment.
