"Genetics 101" is in session on Friday, March 18, at 10 pm ET! And who better to explain the basic color morph genetics than Kevin McCurley of New England Reptile Distributors? After all, we don't call him the "EvilMorphGod" for no reason.

McCurley first focused his breeding efforts on Pituophis and other large colubrids, and over the course of time the collection grew along with an interest in pythons, particularly retics and ball pythons. During the past ten years, that focus has brought myriad color morphs and combinations to the NERD collection, many of which were first bred at his facility.

Currently McCurley is also working on color morphs of monitor lizards, more specifically the Albino Water Monitors. During his interview, he will explain het, homo, percentages, and some of the basic knowledge needed for combos. Of course, with Kevin everything is always fair game, so he will gladly answer questions on any of his topics.

This year, like last, we'll be bringing you our guests in live streaming audio, with a text-based chat room running simultaneously so you can ask questions and discuss the interview with other listeners.

New this year, we'll be streaming over the Animal Wise Network, a popular, successful 24/7 channel featuring original content and interviews about animals and animal issues.
