Episode #150 of Daffy's Round Table. On this episode, I'm joined by David Beetham from Clubtail Exotics, Wally Kern from Supreme Gecko, and Jason from Ghouls and Geckos. Between the three of them, they're working with some really incredible and uncommon gecko species, and today we're diving deep into the husbandry, breeding, and care of those animals. We talk about everything from incubation techniques and raising babies to heating strategies, substrates, enclosure design, and how different keepers approach the same species in completely different ways. We also spend a lot of time discussing some of the rarer geckos in the hobby, including Pachydactylus species, Pristurus carteri, Paroedura picta, and many others. If you're interested in uncommon geckos and hearing how experienced breeders approach these species, this is an episode packed with information.

Episode #149 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I'm joined by Kjell from Home Ecosystems, Bjurny and PlantArt and we dive into what I genuinely believe is the future of reptile and plant keeping.We talk about Home Ecosystems, a new hardware platform that allows keepers to automate and monitor virtually every aspect of their enclosures from lighting and heating to humidity, fogging, and more all through a single smart controller.

Episode #136 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I’m joined by Tyler from The Chameleon Collective. We start off talking about how he first got into reptile keeping (spoiler: mountain horn dragons had a big role) and then talk about Tyler’s current collection and some of the species he’s working with, including the Knuckles Mountain Pygmy Lizard (Cophotis dumbara) that he’s currently breeding. It’s a really cool species that I think more people should be working with, so we spend some time diving into those. Tyler is also an 8th grade biology teacher, so we talk about how he incorporates reptiles into his classroom and how he’s helping inspire the next generation to appreciate reptiles and wildlife. We also talk about Happy Dragons, a group of reptile creators and educators putting out weekly episodes teaching people about reptiles. Tyler plays a really interesting role there, positioning himself as the “expert student”, asking the questions that everyone else wants answered. And towards the end of the episode I found out Tyler is actually a parasite specialist, which opened up a whole other conversation that we only scratched the surface of — so we’ll definitely have to bring him back for a full parasites episode in the future.

We dive into the story behind the co-op, why it exists, how it originally started as a rescue, and what led to the transition into a cooperative model focused on accountability and ethical breeding standards. Nathaniel breaks down what “ethical standards” actually mean in practice and how the co-op is working to raise the bar for breeders. We also get into Nathaniel’s personal collection, including chondros, carpet pythons, blood pythons, tortoises, and more. He’s currently in the middle of moving his reptile room and building a massive tortoise enclosure so we talk about that too!

Episode #133 of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode, I sit down with Jason from Ghouls and Geckos and the Gecko Exchange Podcast Network to dive into some of the more uncommon species he’s keeping with a big focus on Strophurus geckos. Jason keeps several species of Strophurus, and we break down what makes them so interesting to work with, how he sets them up, and what he’s learned from breeding and maintaining them. We talk through enclosure design, seasonal cycling, and how he structures his reptile room around natural temperature and humidity fluctuations to keep his animals thriving. Beyond Strophurus, Jason also works with a variety of other unique species including multiple Cyrtodactylus, Chinese cave geckos, Pachydactylus macrolepis, and even toad-headed agamas. We get into what draws him to these lesser-seen animals, how he chooses species for his collection, and what he has planned for future projects and breeding goals.

Episode #132 Of Daffy's Round Table! On this episode I sit down with Michael Gillian, co-host of the Reptile Rejects Podcast, to talk snakes, setups, and everything in between. Michael keeps a wide range of species, and in this conversation we dive into some of the more unique and underrated snakes he’s working with including Trans-Pecos rat snakes, pine snakes, and lesser-seen boas. We also get into how Michael sets up and manages his reptile room, including his approach to brumation and preparing animals for the 2026 breeding season. Michael also shares his experiences herping in British Columbia and Alberta, along with his thoughts on the rapid growth of reptile expos across Canada and what that means for the hobby.
