In this episode, Rus Wilson of Aquarimax Pets gives us a full masterclass on isopods. We discuss which species would make the best display pets, how to set them up, which species work best in both arid and tropical bio-active setups as well as which species might work best as a feeder. Rus walks us through basic care, how to raise successful colonies and their evolutionary history. We warp the episode up with a conversation about garter snakes and why they make great pets.

Jonathan Hill is the founder of iPardalis, a chameleon breeding operation out of the USA that specializes in producing yellow and red-bodied Ambilobe panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis). In this episode, Jonathan talks us through some incredibly important topics that are crucial when aiming to ethically produce animals. The topics include selling fertilized chameleon eggs, keeping babies in groups, screening for parasites, and imports/reptile flippers. We also spend some time discussing chameleon genetics, specifically the challenge of producing consistent-looking animals when working with A) complex, polygenetic traits and B) an unknown dam phenotype (female chameleons do not display the bright colors that males do).

In 1980, a single specimen of a “tree monitor” was recovered from Halmahera, Indonesia. In 2005, it was determined that the specimen had originally been misidentified and the holotype specimen was actually an unidentified species. This newly discovered species was named, Varanus zugorum, common name Zug’s Monitor. This animal has never been rediscovered in the wild and has now been listed as one of the 25 Most Wanted Animals by Global Wildlife Conservation. In this episode, Scott Trageser of The Biodiversity Group tells us about an expedition he has planned with an aim of re-discovering the species. Armed with new, fascinating technology, including a DNA-inhaling drone and an advanced 3D scanner as well as past experience discovering new species, Scott and his team are determined to cross the Zug’s monitor off the 25 Most Wanted Animals list.
