The Herping Hour Podcast

Welcome to Episode 16 of the Herping Hour which hears us welcome Amy and Ross of The Parasite Vet.

We are hoping to spread more awareness of Parasites in Reptiles and who better to ask than the professionals. We chatted to Amy and Ross about the importance of Parasite testing, the procedure that the samples go through and what Parasites in reptiles means.

This Episode is great for beginners and anyone who is interested in learning more about Parasites in Reptiles. We hope you enjoy listening just as much as we enjoyed recording.

A huge thank you to Amy and Ross for taking the time out of their busy schedules to share this important information with us.

Please share this episode far and wide to raise awareness of accurate Parasite representation.

Feel free to send us your feedback!

In this episode we chatted to the lovely Shelley & Rhys of MCC Couriers. We have people that ask about couriering reptiles and also those that are put off by the thought of reptiles and animals being transported. This episode is great for highlighting how a couriers end to end process works from the booking, planning and execution of each run. 

Hopefully this episode will alleviate some peoples worries and concerns, when being faced with the prospect of using a courier to transport reptiles/animals.

We hope you enjoy the episode and find it informative. Please feel free to contact us with any feedback you may have.

Episode 12 hears us chatting to Darren from Darling Balls Reptiles in our first snake related episode.

Darren has kept a variety of different Reptiles, Exotics and Inverts across the years but decided to start up a breeding project this season with both his Royal Pythons and Corn Snakes. We hear how he found his first season with snake pairings, what his hopes are for the future and his plans to create an environment as close to the wild as possible for behaviour/research purposes. As we all know, Royal Pythons are ambush predators however as part of Darrens research project, he is of the mindset that it’s possible they would eat other things and will be documenting responses to certain insects introduced in to his realistic realm.

This episode was extremely enlightening especially surrounding any licensing that you may or may not need as a breeder around the world and also whether licences are needed to keep specific species.

We are so pleased to have come together for this episode. We appreciate the effort made by everyone to join as due to all the different time zones to accommodate we was restricted with time.

In this weeks Episode we are joined by Alex & Kitty from Jelly Exotics to discuss Rescue & Re-homing Reptiles. Jelly Exotics are a fully registered charity with all the right insurances in place. Although it's an upbeat episode the issues talked about on this weeks show and the challenges faced are very real. We hear from Alex & Kitty regarding what its like to run a Rescue & Re-homing service and the highs and lows experienced on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Alex & Kitty also answer our questions surrounding what their opinions and experiences are on different matters when Reptile keeping. 

Unfortunately a lot of Reptiles end up in Rescues and need re-homing for various reasons. Some reasons are completely unavoidable and owners are often upset that it has come to needing to re-home however on the flip side, people often buy Reptiles as a spare of the moment event without researching thoroughly and get bored with them and as a result they end up in Rescues. Alex & Kitty offer out some great advise to anyone considering adopting from a Rescue and what the process is.

Content Warning - A few mild explicit words are used within this episode.

In this weeks episode we continue our Leo Lowdown series with Part 3 which hear's us chatting to Joseph of JTB Reptiles surrounding Leopard Gecko Cohabitation.

We discuss how Joseph has managed to so far successfully cohabit a 2:1 group of Leopard Geckos in a bio active environment. We chatted about the in's and out's of quarantine, introductions and behaviors with this fascinating species.

Interestingly JTB also unknowingly naturally incubated Leopard gecko eggs which became apparent once the adults had moved in to their new enclosure.

We especially enjoyed recording this Podcast, it was really interesting chatting around cohabitation and hearing Josephs thoughts and experience.
