194: Complete Horned Lizard Care | Dragantha's Dragon's - AAH

Listen Later

Benjamin Fabian is a German herpetoculturist and the owner of Dragantha's Dragon's, a breeding project focused on producing Phrynosoma (Horned Lizards). In the episode, Benjamin discusses what motivates him to work with such a specialized group of lizards and why he chooses to keep with "minimal interaction" between himself and his lizards. Benjamin also covers the dietary requirements horned lizards have for ants, how he collects wild ants, propagates captive ants, and how he simulates ant hills within his enclosures.
