The Exotic Pet Collective

This week I sat down with Ryan from Marshall Arachnids to discuss his background in zoology and animal husbandry and how it impacts his tarantula husbandry. We discuss the controversial issues of tarantula care and husbandry and why the bare minimum basic husbandry might no longer be sufficient as we learn more about these arachnids in the wild and in captivity. This episode is sure to open some minds and ruffle a few feathers.

I sit down with Sheanna, Austin and Jayzun from the Pet Bug's Department of Josh's Frogs and discuss feeding, breeding, and packaging spiders as well as what it is like working at Josh's Frogs. It was a great conversation where we really get a peek behind the curtain as to what exactly is going on at Josh's Frogs.

So what REALLY happened with Eresus Spider Shop? They came on the scene hot with a lot of awesome species and then had a MASSIVE sale! But somewhere around a few months ago things seemed to quickly fall apart leaving many customers upset and waiting for weeks for their orders to ship. Some people called it a scam, some people blamed me, but sometimes the truth is a lot more complicated than a buzz word. So let's take a deep dive with the guy that took over the business and get to the bottom of what happened, what going on now, and what the future holds for Eresus Spider Shop!

Todays guest is the AMAZING Debra Wilson. You probably know her as the longest-serving original cast member on the sketch comedy series Mad TV. She has also had voice roles in video games such as Rebecca Thane in Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Grace Walker in the Wolfenstein series, Amanda Waller in Batman: The Enemy Within and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Renata Glasc in League of Legends, General Lyons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Cere Junda in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Kit in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Sophia Akande in The Outer Worlds, Savathûn in Destiny 2, and Harbinger in Halo Infinite. She is also known for her roles in Over the Hedge,  Batman: The Enemy Within and Scary Movie 4, just to name a few, but her list of credits is MASSIVE!
 We discuss her experiences keeping tarantulas, scorpions and snakes. How she got into the hobby. And what it is like being an exotic pet keeper while working in Hollywood. This was really a treat for me and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much I enjoyed recording it.

Today I am talking to Wilderness Nate from Microwilderness.com about his experiences breeding and selling tarantulas online. He is based out of Los Angeles, CA and is a tarantula dealer to the stars. He has an interesting story on how he became a tarantula breeder and works on some cool Aphonopelma projects that not only gets some cool species into the hobby, but also helps bolster the numbers of species in the wild.
