About Me

I have been interested in wildlife for as long as I can remember, I have kept tropical fish and all kinds of exotic animals over the years, and I have always felt that one of the best things about keeping these animals is the opportunity to sit and observe them interacting and exhibiting natural behaviours.

Because of this I have tried to create as natural and realist habitats for my animals as possible.

Over the years I have worked for English Nature as a Aquatic Entomologist, as an independent ecological consultant, I have given lectures for the Cambridge Natural History Society, carried out studies on the biogeography of Osteoglossidae (Arowana Fish), the ecology and natural history of Land Crabs, the Biogeography of Hylidae (Tree Frogs) and the natural history of Mantidae (Praying Mantis) along with many others.

I have given biology lessons for schools on fish and invertebrates, studied reptiles and amphibians in the Botwsanan bush Africa, worked in a Butterfly farm, led biology field trips and expeditions as well as designing and installing home and business computer systems and networks. Through all of this I have always enjoyed creating aquarium and vivarium habitats and often combine the two. Because of this enjoyment and passion I decided to create this podcast and blog to help spread this knowledge for all to share.
