Daniel Solis of Oropel Lodge discusses his experiences surrounding nature in South America, as well as reptile keeping and breeding in the past in this episode. Daniel thoroughly talks about his dilemma with keeping reptiles in captivity, whilst appreciating wildlife as they are in the wild. He also enjoys wildlife photography, outlining a couple experiences with capturing wild reptiles in their natural habitats. Daniel Solis also runs the Oropel Lodge, a destination to see and experience wildlife and tourist activities in Costa Rica. We discuss all of the possibilities that people can experience at his lodge, from photography excursions, night life tours, ziplining, birdwatching, and so much more. This episode is perfect for people who are curious to learn how their scaled companions live in the wild, as well as potentially learn about an experience to observe it for themselves.
