Megafauna Radio is a podcast dedicated to the education, captive care, husbandry, and breeding of the largest reptiles on earth. From Reticulated pythons and large constrictors to monitor lizards and other over sized reptilian species. We talk with the best keepers, breeders, and educators of these large cold blooded giants.
In this powerful episode of Megafauna Radio, hosts Alex Carr and Brian
Carlson sit down with The Reptile Project to discuss the shocking
rescue of approximately 60 abused and neglected reticulated pythons in
Kentucky.
What happens when dozens of giant snakes are discovered living in
conditions of severe neglect? Who steps in to save them, and what does
it take to rehabilitate animals that have suffered from improper care?
We dive into the challenges of large-scale reptile rescue, the
realities of animal neglect, and the tremendous responsibility that
comes with keeping one of the world's largest snake species.
