Episode 140. Billy Sveen Creepers Herpeteculture
Manage episode 370636156 series 2918770
It’s always important to properly research the husbandry needs of a species before we take on its care as a keeper. An understanding of the animal’s natural history, it’s captive care needs, behavior, and longevity, is vital if we are to succeed.
Equally important though, (yet not always accepted) is the value of continuing our education and accepting that we are always developing as keepers.
This week I am joined by Billy Sveen of Creepers Herpeteculture and we discuss his approach to proper husbandry research and continuing education in the hobby. We talk about starting out with dart frogs, how to pace ourselves as our collections grow, the value that scientific papers have in our husbandry decisions, and how to look at herpeteculture as a long term process.
We also discuss Billy’s artwork, pen and ink, and the old Dover Book scientific illustrations that inspired us both.
