I have a BS in zoology and four years experience in the field, yet still make bupkis compared to others with similar credentials in other fields. I commend you for your choice of profession, you HAVE to love what you do to stay in this field for long. :D

No, she is a Refuse Vacuuming Technician. Somebody has to do the dirty work!

Bahaha! Ya'll are awesome :)

But yes, it's true you have to love the profession. You won't make it in this field if you don't "want" to get up in the morning and go to work(and you work... ALOT).

What if you never want to get up in the morning and go to work..That's me!

That's awesome Evan. American kestrals are so cute.. do you have any pictures of yours?

I'd like to fly a cast of harris hawks someday. They're awesome birds.

These are the only pics of her I can find right now.

Akroma on her indoor bowperch (don't mind the mess :D)

I took these on her first flights to the fist outside. She is still on the creance in the pics, but she did her first true free flight the next day. This was about three weeks after I trapped her.

I have more with her first kill etc. but I can't remember where I put 'em.

HH are awesome birds, but my intrests are much more in the longwings, though I wouldn't turn down a nice Gos, they are just so versatile.

Wow very pretty thanks for sharing.

Longwings are cool because of their agility and speed, but I've always liked how broadwings look. I think it'd be awesome to fly a golden eagle (though you do have to jump through quite a few hoops for that one)

I'm a construction manager/superintendent for a high end custom homebuilder.
I love my job and look forward to going to work each day mainly because the company I work for is owned by an awesome guy.

As for my other job- Mom to a 16yo son, insane feline and Ozzy the bp.

My hobbies ( when I find the time) is competitive bass fishing, hockey, football and collecting sports memorabilia.

I am a manager at a smoothie bar here called Smoothie King. It is a fun job and really works with me for my school schedule. As far as other hobbies go, I don't have much anymore because of my now 3 snakes and money pit that is a 97 f-150. i like to go out and drink like most other teens but I don't overdo it anymore. I know my limits and know that it is no longer cool to see who can get the drunkest.


I have been into herps for about 3 months now and have already brought my collection from a single ball python, to adding a 2 month old BCI, and now a 4 year old BCI. The baby wasn't much of a surprise, but this older one sure is.

I lease apartments, latley is become like Melrose Place. There is over 300 residents and I think I knoe about all of their dramas.:rolleyes: Plus my co-works dramas. lol

Ohhhh Yuuuuuuuuum!!! My fav!

Don't knock it! I did B/R for 9 mo. and Mickey D's for FOUR years!!!! As a student or single mom, or whatever, they're still paychecks to help keep you going! :thumbsup:


I am a manufacturing technician in a (no-longer scandal free) hi-tech company. When I started 13.5 yrs. ago, I was an operator who ran the equipment in the cleanroom fab and we made ASICs (application specific integrated circuits)....the chips in the computers' brains. Now the technology is the printheads of the printer pens for ink cartridges.

I've had experience in metal deposition, photolithograpy, wet and dry etching. Now as a mfg. tech I work more with engineers and direct troubleshooting as well as R & D and get to spend time at a desk doing documentation and reports (or whiling away hours here getting my BP fix :D :D :love: ) instead of always in the fab. When I'm not dragging butt after the 12.5 (or more hours) in a shift, I'm taking care of my wonderful and fabulous daughter Robin (see sig) and our zoo of many species.

After having grown up on a dairy farm with 4-H, FFA and all sorts of furries and crawlies, the cats, snakes, rats, horses, are all a joy in spite of the feeding, cleaning, grooming and not often *sigh* :tears: riding. *sniff*

I'm just greatful that I'm getting the chance to allow Robin to develop a strong love for animals and she's such a loving, caring girl who enjoys the pets and caring for the different variety of snakes that we have, just as much as I do. It's a great KICK to have her so ecstatic when she hears that one of the snakes has shed, or is in blue....or that the rats are doing well and the cats are being furry-t*rds getting into things chasing each other all over the house.


BTW, Joe: I think it's AWESOME that you're a stay-at-home dad!!! Not many families have the chance to have one or both of the parents at home, and kids NEED that love, direction and support!!!!!! KUDOS! to you! :salute:
Hang in there. It's a nasty disease, but we're here for you in all things!!!!! My mom's fighting it, so I understand.....but we'll lift you and help you. Just keep up the good work and keep breeding those beautiful snakes!!!
