Tonight I am joined again by Amphibian Foundation Co-founder, Mark Mandica who has dedicated his life towards salamander conservation.

Folge vom 18.02.2022Episode 76. Becoming a Master Herpetologist with Mark MandicaTonight I am joined once again by Mark Mandica -Co-founder of The Amphibian Foundation. We discuss continuing education in herpetology, and how Mark has created online and in-person college level classes that are accessible to everyone. Mark also talks to us about caecilians, Pipa pipa (commonly known as the Suriname Toad) and some upcoming classes that include a course on amphibian husbandry. Having taken the Master Herpetologist Course myself I can say that I was extremely satisfied with how thorough and insightful the content was. I learned a great deal from the course and I recommend it to herp enthusiasts of all levels looking to further their knowledge base. -DanTo find out more or to enroll in a class please visit: amphibianfoundation.orgIf you would like to support AmphibiCast consider becoming a Patron and visit:https://www.patreon.com/AmphibicastFor cool AmphibiCast Merch check out https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/
