199: AAH Optimizing Your Reptile Collection Via Strategic Selection | Beaches Scaly Beasts

Luke Nettheim from the YouTube Channel  @BeachesScalyBeasts  joins me on the podcast today to discuss the process he used to optimize his reptile collection down to a more manageable size. Luke gives insight on how to determine if your collection is too large, and the steps to take to ethically reduce the quantity of animals in your care. Luke also walks us through a few new exciting projects he has in the works and we wrap up the episode with a chat about his enclosure background business From Bus to Box.
