How great! Love the pics - working there must have been a great experience! What do you hope to do when you finish school?

 

[domdom22]

ah k thanks shnakey

yeah it was awesome as! Im hoping to get into marine biology or zookeeping or animal technician kinda stuff....the rep park guys suggested to me that i should join the volunteers and work there 1 day a week (instead of skool ) so hopefully ill do that and see wat happens

i really wish i got some more photos of me holding the smaller snakes like the corns and stimmys

I think you will find that the fourth pic is a yellow anaconda,and its good to see that it has grown alot since I last seen it.
They were very hard to get feeding

Hmmm, if you want to get into marine biology I think you will need to be working your bum off at school as well as volunteering at the rep park! Instead of thinking of ways to get out of school! (Sorry to sound like a mum!!!)
