    My New Job

    I posted last week that i had gotten the Job at the Phila Zoo, well this was my first week, WoW, it is amazing seeing all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on. I found myself hanging in the Reptile house (go figure), its totally awesome, yes they have snakes of all sort there on display but they have a ton more put away, mostly (rare) venimous and just nasty snakes in general that were turned in by the police from owners getting bit etc., but they do have a bunch of other snakes as well, BP's, boa's, tree boas and so on and so on.
    god what a dream job i landed...At America's 1st Zoo

    That's awesome! I happen to like my job (boat yards, full of fun crazy people) but that would be freaking sweet to land something where working with animals is an everyday part. Get us some pics!
