When we think of vivariums we almost immediately think of plants. Well planted vivariums are not only visually appealing, but in many situations plants are a vital part of amphibian husbandry.  In this episode I am joined by Zach Goodnow of Equatorial Ecosystems and we discuss some of the finer points of keeping plants successfully in a vivarium setting.  We cover topics that include lighting, water quality, substrate choices, plant selection and placement, and how to  best plant a vivarium to accommodate a specific species.  If you are looking to  up your plant game then this is the episode for you. if you'd like to support the show check out https://www.patreon.com/AmphibicastFor listener discounts on In Situ Vivariums visit https://insituecosystems.com/?ref=amphibicast

Have you ever been curious about the tarantula hobby? Well, in this episode of Thinking Outside the Glass Box I am joined by Richard of the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and we talk about all things tarantula. Richard has been keeping tarantulas for over 2 decades, he hosts the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and he runs the successful Tarantula Collective YouTube Channel.  We discuss the hobby, tarantula care, enclosure builds  and overcoming arachnophobia.  In fact, if you are an arachnophobe, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. You may be surprised by how many similarities the tarantula and amphibian hobbies share. Feel free to check out the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast for more content that includes an interview with your host -Dan Drobates - that is all about dart frogs!
