The Toronto Reptile Expo is one of the biggest reptile expos in North America. But what makes an expo happen? Well to answer this question I am joined by Fadi of Daffy's reptiles and we discuss his new role as videographer and social media director for the expo. We talk about what goes into planning and promoting the brand, how the plant community became involved, and the ins and outs of showcasing vendors through social media. We also discuss the care and breeding of alpine newts, podcasting, and much much more!This week's episode is sponsored by Gray Ghosty Creations https://www.etsy.com/shop/GrayGhostCreationsTo learn more about the expo visit: https://reptileexpo.ca/To Support AmphibiCast by becoming a patron, for merch, and a 10% discount off an In Situ Ecosystems vivarium visit: https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCastAnd be sure to follow Fadi on instagram and youtube, and check out Daffy's Round Table on your favorite podcast player!https://www.youtube.com/@daffysreptileshttps://www.instagram.com/daffysreptiles/

As reptile expos become more popular around the world, there is a greater demand for healthy captive bred reptiles and amphibians. In Canada, one of the biggest expos in the country now employs a full time vet to ensure the health and wellbeing of animals on display and being sold. It's my pleasure to sit down with Dr. Alec Brown this week and discuss his role at the expo, the value of veterinary care, and ensuring proper husbandry standards are met. We also talk about his career as an emergency vet and some of the cases that he sees while working overnights at one of a handful of clinics that treats exotics.To learn more visit: https://www.alecbrowndvm.com/ and https://reptileexpo.ca/To support the podcast by becoming a Patron, for Merch, and for a 10% discount off the purchase of an In Situ Ecosystems vivarium visit: https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCast
