Chris of Reptiles & Oddities discusses his extensive experience with reptiles in this episode, starting with his unfortunate experience at Rattlesnake roundups, then moving on to his more positive experiences with his personal species. Chris talks about the influence that these events brought to his personal reptile keeping, leading him to build his own DIY enclosures and focus on husbandry without a heavy financial burden. Chris discusses the building process of his DIY enclosures in great detail, allowing newer DIY builders to follow along and build their own. We also discuss his relationship with wildlife officials and law enforcement in his area, leading to details of his relocation jobs with various species of snake.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/228-reptiles-and-oddities/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Reptiles & Oddities Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reptiles_and_oddities/
