Description

Can snakes be trained? It is commonly believed that reptiles are not capable of complex learning or behavior.  Peter Amelia is the Director of Training and Media at Reptelligence, an organization that promotes low-stress handling, husbandry, veterinary care, and housing for reptiles living in human care, with a focus on the use of behavioral and environmental enrichment and training through positive reinforcement.  In the episode, Peter explains the techniques used to target train snakes as well as methods for safely using puzzle feeders to enrich your reptiles meal time!
