Is it Ethical to Feed CRESTED GECKOS TO SNAKES? | Roast Session 3

In this episode, Bryce and Dillon discuss why we should offer a more natural and varied diet to the snakes in our care. This of course includes using geckos, lizards, frogs, and snakes as regular prey items. We also discuss Bryce's herping trip to St.Lucia, South Africa, and his hunt for the East African Gaboon Viper. Bryce also explains the visual difference between the East and West African Gaboon Viper. We also cover the importance of recording keeping, breeding venomous snakes, why keep reptiles, and much more!
