Do Reptiles have Emotional Intelligence? | Ricky Johnson

Ricky Johnson is a reptile keeper out of the UK, an admin on the Facebook group, Advancing Herpetological Husbandry, and a content creator for the HerpHQ YouTube Channel. In this episode, Ricky breaks down two of his recent educational videos that were released on HerpHQ. The first video explores the complexities of the reptile mind including, emotional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. The second video investigates the true natural habitat of leopard geckos and how wrong many of the common assumptions about their native range are. We wrap the discussion up with a quick review of the 2022 Advancing Herpetological Husbandry Conference.
