Summary

I have been working with animals for a very long time, including a number of different types of exotics. I have owned 7 snakes in the past and I have also grown up with multiple other exotics like poison dart frogs and chameleons.

I also have been petsitting for a long time and know a lot about different dog breeds. I have owned Great Danes my whole life and I currently own a Great Dane/greyhound mix.

I enjoy learning new things and I do not take offense to criticism, I would rather you tell me what I am doing wrong or what I could be doing better so I can improve in my field.
