Improve your Reptile Keeping with ONE Change - Ep. 222

Ep. 222 - Nathan Carlos Rupley discusses his experience with reptile and invertebrate keeping alongside his passion for nature in the real world; talking about his feelings behind connecting with nature and rewildling, and how that connects with the reptile keeping hobby. He shares details of his upbringing in Africa, then moving on to adapting to life in the United States, primarily discussing his viewpoints on rewildling rather than becoming reliant on the consumer oriented world. Nathan also continues to discuss various aspects of recognizing plants, using plants for medicine, and the toxicity of some plants that we could potentially use in reptile keeping or in our daily lives.
