We haven't had a blood python show on Reptile Radio in a while, and last week's guest Steven Tillis was kind enough to agree to indulge us in one for this episode. However,  as cool and interesting as those girthy mid-sized beauties are, we won't just be talking bloods. So strap in and enjoy, as we find out what environmental ecology students in Florida with a taste for herpetology actually do when they're not studying for a test at school. There will be Glades talk!

At some point in the process, dedicated keepers of non-domestic species are likely to wax contemplatively on the environments from which their charges naturally hail. It's pure human nature to ponder such things; as often, part of the fascination of maintaining an exotic species is intertwined with the desire to know more about something foreign to that which we experience in our customary human-centric routines. For most folks, the itch to escape the pedestrian is scratched in the theaters...

However, there are times when finding an outstanding example becomes the impetus for keeping the species in the first place. Derek Roddy has a world-class collection of some of the finest Blackhead Pythons in captivity. Here in the US, his name is synonymous with Blackheads of the highest caliber outside of Australia, their native land. Yet lately, Derek has been...

However, occasionally somebody seemingly out of nowhere pulls the...
