You see Carl and his team milk live venomous snakes for their venom and from their work at the MedToxin Laboratories antivenin is created. So we wanted to know, not only how Carl got started but what it’s like to work with venomous species on a daily basis. Well we got the answers and whole lot more. Carl’s work doesn’t end there though oh no, he also runs the Reptile Discovery Center!

Rico has spent many years within the herpetoculture realm of Green Tree Pythons and Emerald Tree Boas.

We also learn about some of the genetics which are still being worked out as far as native populations are concerned. So, grab your notebooks folks and let’s learn together what’s involved in keeping Green Tree Pythons and Emerald Tree Boas.
