herpetoculture

We are starting a new show on MPR called Herp History. Originally, we had this show as a part of MPR but we decided to move to its own feed. We will be uploading the previous episodes before we begin new episodes. So stay tuned. 
We hope to document through the podcast the history of herpetoculture. The people that paved the way for the hobby today.  In this first episode of the series, we are talking with Keith Mcpeek. Keith has to be one of the most genuine people I know. He has a passion for not just reptiles but animals in general. We talk about his journey with reptiles from the beginning to the present day.
