Daffy's Round Table

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 42 of Daffy’s Round Table!

On todays episode we step away from reptiles to learn about another niche hobby. Ants!

I met Zachary from the Canada Ant Colony at one of the expos a few months ago and went down a rabbit hole of looking up ants after seeing his booth. So I reached out to him and he agreed to come on the show and teach us about ants!

We talk all about the different species of ants in the hobby, how to setup a formicarium for ants, what they eat and the interesting relationships between different species of ants.

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 41 off Daffy’s round table. 

On this episode I’m joined once again by my good friend Jenn aka Jayhayjay. 

Today’s episode is going to be a little different. Jenn and I discuss why new comers to the hobby generally stick to species like ball pythons, leopard geckos and cresties. We discuss why diversifying your keeping portfolio is important and what we as breeders can do to create a shift into popularizing other species.

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 40 of Daffy’s Round Table! 

In this episode I am joined by James of Top Shelf geckos and we’re going to be talking about collard lizards! I get into why I wanted to discuss this species in the episode but the second I saw them on James’s booths at one of the expos I immediately knew I wanted to do an episode on them. 

We get into collard lizard natural history, husbandry and James’s experiences breeding them. We also discuss the scary Devriesea agamarum where it comes from and what keepers should be doing to avoid exposing their reptiles to it.

Hello everybody and welcome back to episode 35 of Daffy’s round table. 

This week we’re gonna tackle a concept that we’ve discussed in multiple episodes and it’s also been discussed on both the amphibicast podcast and the animals at home podcast. 

I’m referring to the differences between the aquarium hobby and the reptile hobby. We’re going to be discussing the different technology and the different DIY strategies that exist in both. 

My guest for today is Greg Nikitin of Beneath The Canopy Exotics. 

Greg has been in both the aquarium hobby and reptile hobby and so has experience from both sides. He’s also an extremely talented DIY-er and can come up with a practical solution for pretty much any problem. 

This is also where beneath the canopy exotics comes into play.
