Daffy's Round Table

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Daffy’s round table! 

On this episode we’re joined by another monitor legend who has been in the reptile game for very long time and has worked with some of the coolest species of monitors that you don’t commonly see.

Our guest is Micheal stefani of Mikes monitors. Join us as we discuss taming monitors down and breeding some of the rare species of monitors. 

We also discuss Mike’s methods of building enclosures and how he makes them super functional but still pieces of art at the same time! 

And Ofcourse, since it’s a monitor episode you know I had to bring Greg from the beneath exotics on to cohost this episode with me again. 

This was a super awesome episode that I think all of you monitor enthusiasts!

Hello everyone! and welcome back to episode 55 of Daffy's Round Table!

In today's episode, we're diving into the concept of rewilding – exploring the possibilities of re-releasing species into their native habitats and whether they can truly thrive.

To help us navigate this incredibly fascinating subject, we have two incredible guests on board, Carlos Galviz and Jack Small. Were going to be using the oophaga lehmanni project happening at Cali Zoo which Carlos is heavily involved in as a case study for our conversation.

Also! I want to give a huge thank you to Dan from Amphibicast. Not only did he help set up today's episode, but he's also joining me as my co-host for this one!

Make sure you check out Episode 132 of Amphibicast. They explore the project in great detail, and it's definitely worth a listen!
