Now, before you get to thinking this is a feature similar to articles or talks you may have seen before let me enlighten you now. This is a series that began when a colleague took a comment made by a prominent figure in the community as being misogynistic. Something was said akin to 'We need to reach out to the soccer moms of the reptile community...' Whether it was meant as misogynistic or not I am not sure. Regardless, some women in the community took offense. It got me thinking about the tendencies of some males to treat women differently and well you can now hear for yourself the results of these interviews. | 2/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Let’s talk about sex…Cricket sex that is. | Tom Houslay is a studying for a PhD at the University of Stirling, Scotland. Now while it's interesting enough that he is a native to my ancestors homeland; what really got me was his chosen field of study. Sexual selection who wouldn't be interested in that? Well this is usually about the time that Tom reveals he researches insect sex. That's right insect sex. This of course quickly opened another dialogue with Tom which started something like this... "You mean crickets are more than just reptile snacks?" I asked incredulously. I of course had to share this information with the audience of the Reptile Living Room so without further ado here is the interview. I really would encourage you to also drop by Houslay website Insects//Sex//Evolution as well as he has an incredible amount of information there which might just make you think twice about dropping that cricket into the tank to be food for a reptile. | 11/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mark Romansky Moonstone Dragons | We met Mark Romansky of Moonstone Dragons at the Las Vegas Reptile Expo where he had some of his Bearded Dragons Pogona vitticeps for sale. We spoke with Mark about various aspects of Dragon keeping and we were so impressed that we decided we had to have Mark on the show. Mark is not only a breeder of high quality Bearded Dragon Lizards Pogona vitticeps but he has been recently elected as the president of the Southern Nevada Herpetological Society. To say that Mark is actively involved in all things herpetoculture would be an understatement; when it comes to reptile legislation or any pet legislation for that matter Mark admits "I'm the first one to grab my helmet and sword and run up the hill." Another quote from Mark and my personal favorite regarding reptile legislation is "Today it's pythons, tomorrow it will be Poodles." Mark has a take on reptile keeping that sometimes flies in the face of 'conventional wisdom' and this makes him one of the better breeders out there in our eyes. So take a listen and see what Mark has to say. | 12/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
