55: JTB Reptiles

Joseph Brabin in the creator of the JTB Reptiles. In this episode, Joseph talks about the electromagnetic spectrum and how to apply that knowledge to the way we heat/light our reptiles. We also discuss the inherent issues with the Pet Tube community and whether or not the husbandry advice they give is accurate and valuable. Joseph also walks us through the brumation process he uses to temperature cycle his reptiles in the cooler months.

Two Corrections From the Episode:

1. There are 6 native reptiles in the UK NOT including the amphibians.
2.  Provitamin D interacts with UVB to become D3 (rather than previtamin D)
