White Tiger morph by 5foot16 Exotics

Adrian Haigh (Addy) to his friends of 5foot16 Exotics had some incredible morphs of Ball Pythons available for sale at the Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo this year. I loved the White Tiger morph personally, what really got me though. Adrian has a different attitude about snakes than most people I have met within the community.

Dr. DeRisi & Mark Stenglein: I.B.D & Beyond

Dr. DeRisi Howard Hughes Medical Investigator & Post Doctoral Fellow Mark Stenglein who published Identification, Characterization, and In Vitro Culture of Highly Divergent Arenaviruses from Boa Constrictors and Annulated Tree Boas: Candidate Etiological Agents for Snake Inclusion Body Disease which was published in the American Society for Microbiology caused somewhat of a stir in the reptile community. However, this stir was unfounded and was actually a result of poor journalism. As is often the case many in the reptile community and public at large both didn’t read the actual paper but based their judgements on what was reported in the news agencies. That being said, we asked Dr. DeRisi and Mr. Stenglein to come on the show and clarify just what this paper meant to the reptile community.
