I got an Internship at a Refuge! (HUGE DUW)

Wow, I would love to volunteer like that.

Some of those snakes are just beautiful. Where is it located, if you don't mind me asking?

I wish I could get involved in something like that! You're doin a great thing!! :rockon:

Maybe there's a few people here that could help. All 3 of my snakes came from people who could no longer care for them. I don't really go out looking for reptiles to buy. The needy ones seem to find me. The only one I'm kinda looking for is a Blue Beauty.

Awesome! The little ducklings sure are cute. :aww: I know someone that keeps pea:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: and peahens... theyr'e like giant chickens. :D

wow. thanks guys! this motivation helps me when i have to wake up at 7am on the only 3 days that i can (could) sleep in...

its in tallahassee florida by the way

It's great what your doing. But my concern is , why are they taking in rescues that they don't have equipment or funds to give better care? Snakes need heat, tortoises need light. Maybe they should request help from another reptile group or at the least only take in what they can properly care for. I am sure they are really thankful for your help though. Keep up the good work. We need more people that care!!!:)

i agree completely...what should i do? how should i ask about these things without being rude?

You could make suggestions as far as contacting another group. Or maybe you could find some way of starting a fund raiser with you and some friends pulling together. Maybe put the word out to other herpers about what they need including something about the group, their goals, practices and what they want to accomplish. It takes a lot of work, but very rewarding to see results in the animals well being. Other people are usually willing to help if there is a sincere need. :sunny:

P.S. They may want to think about setting limits on what they take in. Most people tend to shy away from groups that tend to be more collectors than rescue. Use your charm to impress on them the need to care for what they have before adding more. If your hearts in it, you can do it. Passion brings courage!!

wow. thanks alot man. im gonna talk to him on friday
