Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#53-Keith McPeek
Q: What drew you to Shinosaurus and Lanthanotus, and how do you keep them.
Keith describes a long-standing fascination with aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles and emphasizes naturalistic setups with controlled temperatures, careful feeding, and observing interactions to refine husbandry. He notes Shinosaurus as shy by nature and Lanthanotus as a birdlike, territorial species that benefits from a mixed water/land habitat and careful pair bonding.
#33-Ish Quinones of IQ Exotics
Q: What are your main coastal Python projects and what do you aim to achieve in one or two generations?
Ish describes focusing on Reds with striped patterns and maintaining a pool of diverse lineages (e.g., Cypress Creek, MOG) to keep the project focused while aiming for predictable phenotypes, and he discusses potentially moving other lines to accommodate space for the Reds, ensuring breeders retain enough stock and maintain quality.
#31-Ashley Dezan Northern Lights Reptile Imports & Repti-Bites
Q: How did you get into importing reptiles and what sparked your interest?
Ashley explains a gradual path from catching frogs as a kid to acquiring and importing diverse species, driven by a curiosity about obscure reptiles and a practical pivot to breeding and importing as a business.
#46-Dave Levinson of Custom Scales pt1
Q: What is your experience with using ultrasound in boa breeding and how has it changed your approach?
Ultrasound is a valuable tool for timing, but you should not depend on it alone; you still need to watch signs of readiness and be ready to adjust based on multiple cues.
#36 - Brandon Valentine of Cult Serpents
Q: Brandon, can you summarize where you fit in herbiculture and what you keep?
Brandon describes his focus on a mix of colubrids and boas, highlighting Puerto Rican and Argentine boas, Russian burghays, rosy and rubber boas, and a strong emphasis on breeding potential rather than just keeping. He notes his long-term aim to breed some of these species while balancing the different locality lines and maintaining healthy stock.
