Hmmm let's see... since everyone is sharing!!! I am a cardiac ward clerk and love what I do. Seeing many sick people everyday sure makes you count your blessings. I am Canadian, but was raised and lived 27 yrs in Dallas Texas. I have always been a type of person that likes looking after others in life. I can remember growing up in high school and all my friends would call me the "Designated Sister" because I always would look out for them no matter what....Ha ha ha... guess that's why I work in a hospital today because I still like looking out for others.
I have always loved all types of animals and have had everything from pet rats to horses growing up. I was scared of snakes and spiders as a youngster and wasn't until my mid 20's when I purchased my first ball python. It took me awhile to get over feeding snakes rats/mice, but I realized that they have to eat just like us humans have to eat. Then I faced my fears of spiders and researched tarantula's. Back in the day, they were known as big and scared just like snakes, but in actuality they are very interesting creatures that have a bad rap!! I own 2 tarantula's today and they fascinate me. They aren't handled that much, but just observed and respected as amazing beautiful creatures. I have a very small collection of snakes that I enjoy having as my babies. They help me unwind and relax after a hard stressful day and bring peace and happiness in my life. I also have a leopard gecko that is spoiled rotten and last but not least, my one and only "Fur Child" who is a West Highland Terrier.
I have enjoyed being part of this community on this site, as well as reading and learning many different things about reptiles. Thank you for sharing your stories with me...
