In this episode we interview Tom Crutchfield about his incredible career with reptiles, from his many firsts in herpetoculture, his many adventures looking for wild reptiles, to some of his current projects.
Tom Crutchfield is undoubtedly one of the most well-known names in American Herpetoculture. As one of my previous guests put it, "what Tom hasn't done in the hobby, isn't worth doing". The most fascinating thing about Tom is despite his vast amount of experience in the hobby, he still continues to remain open-minded and allow the reptiles to teach him new things daily. In the episode, we discuss how/why reptiles should be kept humanely. SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/75-tom-crutchfield/
