Jason White of Daily Reptile News and I talk about the release of lizards, the confiscation of 60 venomous snakes, and a potential alligator sighting in Arizona.

In this interview we had the opportunity to sit down with a self proclaimed ‘dinosaur‘ and definitely an endangered species when it comes to our knowledge base within this industry which we seem to forget more of every year. I am of course referring to none other than Mr. Tom Crutchfield of Tom Crutchfield Reptiles.  Tom was very candid about what is missing in this industry today that people like himself built so many years ago. Take a walk with us as we start out at memory lane and then come forward to today where Tom sees issues that can be fixed. Do you have the answers?
