Andrew Wyatt CEO & President of USARK takes a moment to explain to us where the reptile community stands in the current battle waging in Washington D.C. with the constrictor ban. He also explains some the aspects of the ban where Gordon Roda writes a ‘scientific paper’. I will leave it at that you just have to hear it for yourself folks. Please support USARK and their fight as they take the flag of our community to the hill. They need your support, we’re not talking lip service here get out the wallet and donate!

In this interview we got to speak with Carl Barden of MedToxin Laboratories about his work that he is doing to save lives. 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!

Justin Julander of Australian Addiction took the time to sit down with us and talk about the reptiles of Australian Addiction. He shared with us his early beginnings and gives some advice to new folks interested in getting into the herp industry.  We mainly focused on Australian Carpet Pythons in this particular interview but Justin also works with Irian Jaya Pythons as well.  Take a moment won’t you and learn a little about what it takes to maintain such an exotic addiction.  If you want to contact Justin or any of the folks from Australian Addiction its as easy as clicking the links provided.  We really enjoyed having Justin on the show and we even convinced him to come back and do an episode of Herp Chat with us later so we’re really looking forward to that too.
