So next time, take some "visual aids" & educate them. Seriously, it's your chance to promote the fascination we all share...& when you interest those in the
veterinary profession, it helps all their future patients & owners. An exotic vet I used to know (in another state) is a good example: all he learned in college
was the medical perspectives, and I was stunned when he asked me to teach him about incubating eggs & candling them, for example. Some of what we
keepers are best at is just careful observation: it's not only me that has taken a snake to the vet KNOWING something was wrong, but to them, the snake
appeared to be fine. (and that doesn't help at all) It's not easy having patients that give out so little information. But if they learn more about morphs, it
just might make them more interested in other aspects. We all have knowledge & skills that others don't...we all win when we share.
