Explicit content warning
02/15/24 • 96 min
Jamie Woods returns to the Animals at Home Network to continue a discussion on applying tried and true aquarium concepts to herpetoculture. In the episode, Jamie discusses the current lack of biofeedback within reptile enclosures and how mixed-species enclosures may fix that. We cover the lack of hunting opportunities we give snakes in captivity and how live-feeding may be the key to triggering breeding behavior in some species. We wrap up the episode with a conversation about technology in both reptile and fish keeping and why advancing tech is not always better.

189: How To Breed Leopard Gecko Morphs | Dragoon Gecko - AAH
Rebecca Hassler is the owner of Dragoon Gecko, an EU-based leopard gecko morph breeding facility. In this episode, Rebecca discusses the use of the term "pure", and if it is appropriate to use in relation to morphs. We cover some of the differences between leopard gecko and ball python breeding, specifically highlighting the difference between working with simple vs. complex genetic traits.
