Ryan Dumas is the Head Keeper of the Herpetology and Fish section at the Cincinnati Zoo and a long-time reptile keeper. In this episode, we discuss keeping reptile species that are meaningful to the keeper, life as a reptile zookeeper, and environmental enrichment. Ryan also breaks down an animal wellness rating system that allows keepers to perform an audit on their current setups to highlight which areas need improvement.
