Philippe de Vosjoli

Philippe de Vosjoli, Creator and Promoter of Herpetoculture as philosophy and discipline. One of the founders of the Vivarium magazine and the original publisher of the Advanced Vivarium line of books. That landmark series launched the trend for providing quality reptile and amphibian information. He is the author of more than 50 articles and 40 herpetoculture books, one children’s book, and two near-future science fiction books.With Bob Mailloux, Philippe was responsible for the first captive breeding of many frog species, including Chacoan horned frogs, Fantasy horned frogs, Chilean wide mouth frogs, and Joazeiro horned frogs. With Frank Fast, he discovered most of the island forms of giant geckos and the lesser New Caledonian live-bearing gecko, placing an emphasis of establishing them for herpetoculture. Philippe currenlty works with species he feels should be propagated before they become unavailable. Launching Herpeton 2019 with Allen Repashy.
