239: The Double Standard: Cats Kill More Wildlife Than Snakes Ever Could | Phillip Lietz - AAH

Phillip Lietz of Arids Only and Project Herpetoculture discusses a wide scope of topics regarding the reptile keeping hobby, from the species of reptile that he breeds, domestication of reptiles, a little about aquaculture, and some double standards you see in various pet keeping communities. Phil talks about some of the science revolving around domestication of various reptile species, the advances that we would like to see regarding lighting, and some details of how invasive/native species interact in our world. Philip offers extremely well-thought out viewpoints on herpetoculture that every reptile keeper should keep in mind as we all progress in our hobby.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/239-phil-lietz/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Arids Only IG: https://www.instagram.com/aridsonly/Arids Only FB: https://www.facebook.com/aridsonly/Arids Only Website: http://www.aridsonly.com/Philip’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/plietz/Project Herpetoculture YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0UCdymrooiNVloQlxrW1FAProject Herpetoculture IG: https://www.instagram.com/projectherpetoculture/0:00 Introducing Phillip Lietz of Arids Only2:23 True Fauna by Faunalux3:24 Welcome Philip + Moving Updates With Arids Only13:37 New Projects and Species17:33 All About The Chuckwalla23:04 Thoughts on Herpetoculture + Reptile Keeping36:18 Domestication Of Reptiles + The Future44:50 Aquaculture vs Herpetoculture45:07 Animals At Home Patreon45:27 Aquaculture vs Herpetoculture49:43 The Link Between Animals + Parenting53:47 Double Standards in Reptiles vs Dogs/Cats59:25 The Criminal Behavior in The Hobby1:04:57 Discussion on Native Species + Advances in Science1:15:05 History of Feeder Insects + Bees in Herpetoculture1:26:50 Herpetoculture Consulting1:32:04 Closing Thoughts
