Tony Wigley is the founder of Responsible Reptile Keeping which is a worldwide membership organization that aims to promote, support, and protect responsible reptile keeping. In this episode, Tony breaks down the tension between herpetoculture and animal rights groups. We discuss the importance of promoting ethical keeping (rather than keeping for the sake of it), the tactics used by animal rights groups, the reptile ban happening in Spain, whitelist proposals, and more!
