So Much Pingle

Episode 26: Aussie Herps with Scott Eipper


Listen Later

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode Twenty Six!  We've had shows coming from the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and now we get to add Australia to the list.  Last month I talked with Scott Eipper, who hails from Brisbane, up in southeast Queensland.  Scott and his wife Tie own and operate Nature 4 You, and though their company they are involved in wildlife demonstrations and education, surveys, consulting, and more  Scott and I talked about his work, but it was also great to chat about herping in Australia, and some of the differences and similarities to North American herping.  I enjoyed Scott's perspectives, and I have to say that I got more than a little pumped about someday visiting Australia, and perhaps the date for 'someday' just got bumped up a little bit.
We also talked about Scott's book projects (see above photo), co-authored either with his wife Tie or with Peter Rowland.  I have the frog book, and it's pretty good - I will have to pick up more before I head over to you know where.
