4: How to Work with Venomous and Breed Dwarf Bitis | Wilnes Goosen - AE

In this episode, Wilnes explains how he is able to keep some of the most “difficult” species (dwarf bitis) and a lot of his success with them has to do with replicating nature in captivity. Airflow, heat, localities are all things you need to consider when you want to keep an animal properly. Not every animal in the same species must be cared for in the same way, localities of the same species should be cared for differently according to where they come from. Wilnes also explains the best way to start working with venomous animals and the importance of always obtaining more knowledge! Show Notes: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/4-wilnes-goosen/
