In this episode I interview Matthijs Hollanders (@matthijs.hollanders on Instagram). Matthijs is a herpetologist from the Netherlands that is currently studying chytrid fungus for his PhD in New South Whales, Australia. We discuss his experiences field herping in various places including Texas, Oman, Ecuador, Europe, and Australia. We also discuss herp photography, the complex nature of locating rare herps, herp behavior and habitat, chytrid fungus affects on frogs and now salamanders, and other related topics.

The goal of this podcast is to have down-to-earth conversations with people interested in wildlife. This may include biologists, naturalists, conservationists, hobbyists, hunters, fishermen, and any other outdoors folks. With any luck, this will lead to meaningful discussions and a greater sense of unity among all the different wildlife and outdoors groups. 

Follow the Instagram page @the_wildlife_experience and my personal page @thetexasnaturalist for updates. Instagram is also a good way to reach me if you have comments or are interested in coming on to the podcast.
