If you don't know me...i’m Ava, Antaresia breeder, veterinary nurse, and the founder of Jurassic Wildlife - where we specialise in exotic morphs and ethical breeding and keeping practices.

In this first episode, we’re diving straight into the basics of husbandry, ethics, and the bad reptile keepers/breeders out there. We’re talking about the standards that should be non-negotiable, why enrichment should be considered a bare basic, and how too many reptile keepers and breeders are still clinging to lazy practices. I’m here to challenge the acceptable and advocate for keeping animals in a way that allows them to thrive, not just survive.

If you’re a keeper, breeder, hobbyist, or enthusiast who actually gives a damn about animal welfare — you’re in the right place!
