I got an Internship at a Refuge! (HUGE DUW)
Im a senior at FSU majoring in environmental studies. i found this small refuge through a family member, and after about a month and a half of emails, i finally got the thing. I am sooo excited, cause this is what I wanna devote my life to- helping animals. Today was my second day (only working 3 days a week, cause of school). its unpaid, but whatever. i just wanna help. only like 5 people who work there, so they NEED volunteers.
here are some pics.

monitor? i am gonna ask (beg) for them to let me make him a bigger cage. some college students left him by a dumpster, and now we need to find him a new home...which sadly is the story of most of out reptiles here.

It looks like that place could really use some help.
I'm sure it's hard being a rescue with so many animals but it looks like there is a lot of cleaning, separating of snakes, ect that needs to be done.

Re: I got an Internship at a Refuge! (HUGE DUW)
yea, up till now, they havent has the power to do anything, for a few reasons.
-i am the only male there, besides the owner who basically only does medical stuff. this SUCKS because alot of animals that need to be cleaned out like the heeeeeavy tortoises couldnt be adequately before, cause they couldnt pick them up.
-everyone there is scared of snakes, except the owner and me
-no one there knows how to use tools and build anything, cept me and the owner.
-now that i am "extra help", i hope to address all these things and help out more than they thought. i am a great builder, and wanna try to build a heated rack system to open up some space (NO SNAKES HAVE HEAT AT ALL, AND EITHER DO ANY REPTILES OR TURTLES) then i might be able to get some heat lamps and stuff to help the rest of the rep's, as well as build some cages in the space i saved from the rack.
ill even help with the cost if i have to.
