Tonight! Tails from the Pet ER with Dr. Tony Johnson

Sunday, Feb 07, 2010

Veterinary critical care specialist Dr. Tony Johnson has seen it all... and tonight he's going to share it with you in "Tails from the Pet ER," at 10 PM Eastern Time in the Auditorium!

Dr. Johnson, a veterinary emergency care specialist and professor at Purdue University's College of Veterinary Medicine, will be talking with PetHobbyist.com's Christie Keith in live streaming audio -- a perfect "fit" for this particular guest event, since his "Tails" are long on humor -- so long, in fact, that you'd better consider this a warning not to listen with beverages in your mouth.

You won't just be listening, though -- bring your questions! You'll be able to type them into the chat room so Dr. Johnson can answer them.

To join us the evening of the chat: Registered users log in here; if you're not registered, log in as a guest here and select "Auditorium" from the drop down menu!

We'll see you tonight!

Sunday! Rainbow boa panel with Dave Colling and Jeff Clark

Sunday, Feb 07, 2010

Tonight, Sunday, February 7, at 10 PM Eastern Time/7 PM Pacific Time in the kingsnake.com chat room, Dave Colling and Jeff Clark join us for a Rainbow Boa Panel in live streaming audio.

Jeff Clark of Savannah, Georgia has been hunting and keeping and breeding snakes much of the time since his first pet snake had babies in 1964. He has kept many different species and has captive bred dozens of different ones. He has specialized in Rainbow Boas since 1989. He currently keeps 6 different subspecies of Rainbow Boas and has kept and captive bred one other Rainbow Boa subspecies. Jeff will be able to answer local specific as well as general husbandry questions.

Dave Colling started breeding Rainbow Boas back in the early 80s with the Brazilian Rainbow Boas and was instantly hooked! Specializing in the genetics and color morphs, Dave has amassed a great collection of animals that are pure stunners. Dave will be joining us to touch upon the genetics and color variations in the breeding process as well as sharing his husbandry tips.

We'll see you there!

Tonight: Venom Expert Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry

Saturday, Feb 06, 2010

Tonight at 10 PM Eastern Time in the kingsnake.com chat room, Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry will be interviewed via streaming audio by kingsnake.com site coordinator Cindy Steinle. Dr. Fry is always one of our most entertaining and popular guests. He heads a laboratory at the Department of Biochemistry in the Bio21 Institute of the University of Melbourne that specializes in the research of animal venoms.

His life in his own words: "My name is Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry and I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people alive. I get to travel the globe catching snakes! Ever since I was a small child, all I have ever wanted to do is play with venomous animals for a living. Its quite a satisfying feeling to have this childhood obsession come true. It makes my mum feel a bit better about the myriad of strange, unusual and often dangerous animals that took up residence in our household during my years at home!"

Dr. Fry is a fantastic and lively speaker, and that's why we're leading off with him for our first ever kingsnake.com chat in streaming audio!
