In this episode of What's Herpenin'?, George, Cassie and Chris talk to Crystal and Seth from New York’s Prehistoric World Reptile Zoo. We dive into a variety of pressing issues within the reptile community, including challenges faced by exotic pet owners and the complexities of animal welfare laws. We also discuss the controversial euthanization of Peanut the Squirrel and the Zoo’s experiences with New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation.
Crystal and Seth also share some amusing anecdotes about beginner reptile owners, including unusual first pets like green anacondas and the growth of reptile appreciation in upstate New York. They discuss the role of reptile expos and the rise of reptiles as family pets, with more people embracing these animals as fascinating companions rather than fearsome creatures. The episode wraps up with a discussion on mentorship in the reptile community, the benefits of learning about pet reptiles through hands-on experiences like "zookeeper for a day," and the need for honest dialogue about reptile care challenges.
