I need 4 more CE hours before March 31 and I’m hunting for courses that dig into species-specific enrichment — beyond basic husbandry — for parrots, small mammals, and reptiles. I’m especially after content on building rotating foraging puzzles and target training; I’ve been doing 5-minute clicker sessions with our savannah monitor and confirming basking UVI about 3.0 with a Solarmeter 6.5. Any accredited providers or recent webinars you loved that counted for your CE?
Picked up solid CE from LafeberVet and adapted their ‘tunnel roll’ idea: thick cardboard cores with a few 8–10 mm holes; our conure has to roll for pellets and the savannah monitor digs out vented feeder cups buried 5–7 cm in the dig box. Just swap hole patterns weekly and don’t park them under the basking spot so your UVI checks stay meaningful: LafeberVet: for exotic animal veterinary medicine professionals.
ARAV has an on-demand reptile enrichment webinar that covers target training and foraging builds, with CE credit available: https://arav.org/education/webinars/. For our savannah monitor, a capped PVC “treat roller” hung just off the basking zone plus a red target on a perch turned sessions into CrossFit for lizards; if arousal spikes, we switch to buried paper-cup roach caches and keep a UVI 0–1 hide on the cool side.
, finding RACE CE on enrichment is scattered; I ended up using AAV’s avian behavior/enrichment webinars (some list credit) plus a VSPN exotics session to round out hours. For your 5‑minute clicker work, start with a “station tile” the lizard targets, then shift the tile each rep; it steadied approaches and made rotating puzzle builds smoother.
