Mike and Ryan are a duo from Canada who run the Instagram page, Strange Life Labs, which is a collaboration between fishkeeping and reptile keeping. Mike focuses on reptiles while Ryan focuses his energy on fishkeeping. In the episode, we discuss how the two hobbies interact with each other, what reptile keepers can learn from fish keepers and visa-versa as well as how to maintain a balanced and sustainable animal room. Mike discusses which reptile species he works with including the pros and cons of the Phelsuma species he keeps and breeds and why he believes gargoyle geckos are a more attractive pet option over crested geckos. Ryan discusses his beautiful planted community aquarium, how he maintains it, and which fish species would be best for new keepers with a reptile husbandry background.

Le nom Gecko vient du malais «Gekoq», qui est issu du cri d'un gecko indonésien. Dans certains pays, ils sont sacrés et portent bonheur. Dans d'autres, ils portent malheur. C'est notamment le cas du Gecko satanique (genre uroplatus “queue plate”) déguisé en feuille morte, ultra mimétique. Ils sont en général très appréciés car ils mangent les insectes nuisibles. Le Gecko le plus célèbre auprès des terrariophiles est le Gecko léopard. Le Gecko diurne (qui vit le jour) Phelsuma de la photo de vignette, avec son museau allongé et sa pupille ronde, est aussi une célébrité. Ils sont insectivores mais beaucoup apprécient également les nectars de fruits. ______ Photo : Phelsume (Gecko diurne à pupille ronde) ______ On aime ce qui nous a émerveillé … et on protège ce qu'on aime. _______ Découvrir tout l'univers Baleine sous Gravillon, et Mécaniques du Vivant sur France Culture : https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 Soutenir notre travail, bénévole et sans pub : https://bit.ly/helloasso_donsUR_BSG http://bit.ly/Tipeee_BSG https://bit.ly/lien_magq_lilo_BSG Nous contacter pour une conférence, un partenariat ou d'autres prestations ou synergies : contact@baleinesousgravillon.com _______   Interview : Marc Mortelmans Rédaction en chef des articles du site https://baleinesousgravillon.com : Guillaume Lassalle et Bérénice Toutant Rédacteurs : Julien Brethiot, Chloé Routa, Héloïse Caraty, Thomas Prat, Aurore Fayard, Rémi Trivellato BSG dans les Festivals : François Léger BSG sur Instagram : Audrey Tindilière Graphisme / vidéos : Elouan Plessix Montage / notices / programmation : Zeynab Tamoukh, Albane Couterot, Laure Davoigneau, Dorian Roulet

This week I am joined by Michael Heinrichs and we discuss his beginnings in the hobby, oophaga vincentei, and expanding conservation goals through the Active Conservation Alliance.  Michael started out keeping herps (specifically geckos in the Phelsuma genus) in the 1970's and he has experience in both the US and German hobbies.  In this episode we talk about the early days, and how Michaels interests in conservation evolved into his current project - The Active Conservation Alliance. We also cover Michael's experiences with Oophaga vincentei, their status in the hobby, and why they make good candidates for smaller vivariums.To support the podcast by becoming a Patron, for Merch, and a 10% listener discount off an In Situ Ecosystems vivarium visit: https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCastTo support the ACA and to learn more about dart frog conservation visit:  https://activeconservationalliance.org/Also feel free to follow Michael on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thefrogdispensary/

  Geckos! In Hawai'i? We know what you're thinking - not by natural biogeographic processes! And you're right, they are there because they are invasive species brought by humans. In this Patreon-chosen episode, we explore some of the more unusual species the island has to offer. Our Species of the Bi-Week is a splendid lizard with an even more splendid name.

Episode four is all about day geckos. We get into the lifestyles of these handsome creatures – first exploring Mauritian lowland forest day gecko’s choice of home. Following on from that, we chat about some cheeky Malagasy geckos with some peculiar dietary requirements, and then discuss the startling spread of giant day geckos on Reunion Island. Our Species of the Bi-Week is a gecko with a bizarre adaption to help it evade its foes. FULL REFERENCE LIST AVAILABLE AT: herphighlights.podbean.com   Main Paper References: Buckland, Steeves, Nik C.

Jonathan Boone, global wildlife photographer and researcher, has studied the captive husbandry and propagation of geckos since 1979. His work began at the young age of 14, when he purchased his first geckos from a local pet store and attended monthly herpetological meetings at the Tulsa Zoo. His first geckos included leopard geckos and day geckos of the genus Phelsuma. Since then, Jon's collection has expanded to include some of the rarest and most obscure geckos in the world. He has travelled globally, with field research emphasis in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and northern and southern Africa. In addition to his extensive field research, Jon has published numerous articles in popular herpetological journals. He has also assisted other authors by sharing findings as well as photographs from his husbandry experience and field research. Exploring new possibilities, Jon has pioneered several practices in gecko husbandry, including innovative cage design, nutrition and mimicking seasonal rhythms. To educate and inspire others with interest in reptiles, Jon has spoken at as well as coordinated herpetological conferences. Jon has been the first to successfully breed over 200 species of gecko, and has collectively bred close to 500 gecko species. Among his other major advances was his discovery that Colopus kochii eggs can take almost 2 years to hatch. In his efforts to further scientific research, Jon has provided nearly two thousand specimen samples to scientists, taxonomists and systematicists around the world. These specimen samples have been used to create documentation on new species, to update documentation on existing species, and to provide new localities and distinguishing characteristics between gecko species. (Taken from www.jonboone.com) Join us on GNR as we speak with Jon about how he lives the gecko dream.

Join us for a fun evening of Gecko conversation. I am joined by Julie Bergman of www.geckoranch.com and Marcia Mc Guinness of Golden Gate Geckos is my co host. Julie Bergman is one of the pioneers of Leopard Gecko morph making going back 2 decades. She is also the former president of the Global Gecko Association and author of several gecko related books and counltess articles. Julie works with many species of geckos but her true love is Phelsuma species (Day Geckos). You can check out her work at www.geckoranch.com. Please like and follow the Gecko Nation radio Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GeckoNationRadio 

Jon Klarsfeld DVM of GiantDayGecko.com joins us for a informative disscussion about Day Geckos and reptile veterinary treatments. I will be joined by a special guest co host none other than JD hartzel of herpin Time radio (a big Phelsuma fan and former keeper and breeder). Day geckos are one of the most colorful geckos to work with. They can be very interesting and beautiful pets for experienced keepers.  Reptile ailments and tratments is something we should all be informed about and I will make an effort to discuss various gecko related diseases, viruses, pathogens etc. Don't miss this sure to be historic episod of Gecko Nation Radio.  Please also like the shows facebook page at www.facebook.com/GeckoNationRadio and the youtube channel at www.youtube.com/user/GeckoNationradio

Julie Bergman of Gecko Ranch talks to us about keeping the Phelsuma sp. captive care and I must say I got one heck of an education on the Phelsuma sp. its a great piece for anyone who is interested in these jewels of the reptile world. The post Herp Chat with Julie Bergman appeared first on Reptile Living Room.

Julie Bergman of Gecko Ranch sits down with us in the living room to talk about her experiences breeding and caring for the Phelsuma species.  We learn from Julie that there used to be dog sized Phelsuma around 100 years ago and that they are not all that delicate as we believed. Julie also speaks … Continue reading Julie Bergman of Gecko Ranch → The post Julie Bergman of Gecko Ranch appeared first on Reptile Living Room.

All the members of the Exo Terra Madagascar 2006 Expedition returned home safely after spending three weeks of intense field research in the jungles and bamboo forests of north-western Madagascar. After the discovery of a new species of day gecko (Phelsuma vanheygeni) by Exo Terra Manager Emmanuel Van Heygen in 2004, during the Exo Terra Madagascar 2004 Expedition, many questions were left unanswered regarding the distribution range, behaviour and ecology of this remarkable species. In order to find answers to these questions the Exo Terra team returned to the area in June 2006.
