64: Round Island Boas
For Episode 64 of CritterCast, Cassie and Koreena slither back to the world of reptiles! But we take a slightly different approach. Instead of delving into a ton of facts, we discuss the Round Island Boa…which is a species we don’t know that much about. Why? Why would we want to dedicate an entire episode to a species we don’t know much about? Because we learned about an amazing organization called Edge of Existence, which you are definitely going to want to hear about.
