They're Selling TARANTULAS at Josh's Frogs?

So what REALLY happened with Eresus Spider Shop? They came on the scene hot with a lot of awesome species and then had a MASSIVE sale! But somewhere around a few months ago things seemed to quickly fall apart leaving many customers upset and waiting for weeks for their orders to ship. Some people called it a scam, some people blamed me, but sometimes the truth is a lot more complicated than a buzz word.

Debra Wilson

Todays guest is the AMAZING Debra Wilson. You probably know her as the longest-serving original cast member on the sketch comedy series Mad TV. She has also had voice roles in video games such as Rebecca Thane in Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Grace Walker in the Wolfenstein series, Amanda Waller in Batman: The Enemy Within and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Renata Glasc in League of Legends, General Lyons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Cere Junda in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Kit in Ratchet &amp; Clank: Rift Apart, Sophia Akande in The Outer Worlds, Savathûn in Destiny 2, and Harbinger in Halo Infinite. She is also known for her roles in Over the Hedge,  Batman: The Enemy Within and Scary Movie 4, just to name a few, but her list of credits is MASSIVE! We discuss her experiences keeping tarantulas, scorpions and snakes. How she got into the hobby. And what it is like being an exotic pet keeper while working in Hollywood.

Phil Goss

I sit down with Phil Goss who is the President of the United States Association of Reptile Keepers, also know as USARK. We discuss the new Lacey Act Amendment in the America Competes Act and how it will impact the Exotic Pet Hobby as a whole. He also gives us updates on new developments and how best to move forward as a hobby. Q: Does this include invertebrates?Yes. We know that aquatic invertebrates are included. While the legislation does not mention terrestrial invertebrates, FWS can regulate terrestrial invertebrates (i.e., Endangered Species Act), and terrestrial invertebrates are included in the FWS definition of wildlife:“Wildlife is any living or dead wild animal, its parts, and products made from it. Wildlife not only includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, but also invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, arthropods, molluscs and coelenterates.” – FWSAlso, within the Lacey Act the term “fish or wildlife” means: any wild animal, whether alive or dead, including without limitation any wild mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, mollusk, crustacean, arthropod, coelenterate, or other invertebrate, whether or not bred, hatched, or born in captivity, and includes any part, product, egg, or offspring thereof.www.USARK.orgwww.facebook.com/UnitedStatesAssociationOfReptileKeepersYou can watch the video version of this podcast on The Exotic Pet Collective YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/ZqM--dnqIRkSupport the show

TTC Meet Up LIVE Podcast w/ Dr. Rayor, Frank Somma, Tom Patterson, Jeremy Huff & Cobweb Castles

Todays guest is Jackie Billotte, M.S. who is currently working on her PHD in the entomology department at Colorado State and received her Masters in Biomedical Sciences and Biotechnology from the University of Colorado. We have an in depth conversation about the current research into mapping the genetic sequences of tarantulas for many different applications in research, the possible medicinal value of tarantula venom and the disease it could treat or prevent, and how all this research is used to further the conservation of tarantulas in the wild. We also discuss what we can do as tarantula keepers to get involved in conservation and bridge the gap between the tarantula hobby, tarantula research, and tarantula conservation! It sounds very technical, but it was actually a  very fun and interesting conversation I am sure you will enjoy listening to!LINKS REFERENCED IN THE PODCAST:Jackie Billotte’s website: https://jackiebillotte.weebly.com/Butterfly Pavilion: https://butterflies.org/ Dr. Ruth Hufbauer’s site: http://www.hufbauerlab.org/ Greenville Zoo: https://www.greenvillezoo.com/ Southern Plains Land Trust: https://southernplains.org/ Colorado Arachnid Club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/380343932143412/ Support the show
