Join us for a spirited discussion about husbandry, ethical keeping, and whether those with a platform should be models for the community—and if so, how we think they are doing? We discuss proper husbandry, YouTube reptile celebrities, and taking bites for clicks. Most importantly, we'd like to hear from you. Let us know what you think.
