In this episode, I break down the spiciest debates in the reptile-keeping world — the topics that always light up comment sections and split the hobby right down the middle.
We dig into:
Rack & tub keeping — outdated or perfectly functional?
“Old school” husbandry advice — why some keepers are still spreading bad info.
Morph breeding — ethical concerns, genetic bottlenecks, and what the future looks like.
Venomous and giant species — who should be keeping them (if anyone)?
