This week I am joined by Tim Herman. Tim is well known for his specialized vivarium and marine aquarium brand -Indoor Ecosystems-, as well as for his accomplishments as an academic, and zoo professional. In this episode, Tim and I discuss how to bring high quality vivariums and aquariums to life. We also talk about his close work with caudates, the background behind the salamander ban from a few years back, Khans spray toad, why the eastern USA has such high salamander biodiversity, and much more.
