I couldn't make it through this one. This guy's husbandry standards are way too low for me, imagine keeping a boa in a 2 by 4 tub /: they're huge animals that need proper humidity, temperature gradients, enrichment, and climbing opportunities, they're semi arboreal. Older snake keeping standards make me sad
Yes very poor. I listened to his podcast a couple of times and that was enough for me, his husbandry is pretty crap. He's not the only one tbh, plenty of seemingly well respected and well known people keeping reptiles, particularly snakes think that's ok. What is good to hear is quite a few are talking about and implementing naturalistic type keeping and full spectrum lighting, Joe is one of them. Also Eric and Owen from MPR seem to be giving it a go and seeing the benefits too.

I agree with you a proper 40 gallon breeder is much better rather than a twenty long
Are you ever going to make “regular” non-podcast videos again? I miss them.
These podcasts are way too long for the casual viewer/keeper.
