Im becoming awful at daily posting...

Well yesterday was a good day...I got to pet another penguin...this time it was an african penguin!  Also my bro and sis-in-law came to visit me at the zoo.  They got to see me in action with a hedgehog and also a ball python.  They got in for free with my guest passes and then I drove out so they didnt have to pay for parking either...total price of a day at the zoo 5 bucks since they wanted ice cream and fed a giraffe...SCORE!  



After work I showed them where I live and then we drove to Kentucky for some Texas Roadhouse....What can I say?  You can take the girl out of Texas, but you cant take the Texas appetite out of the girl.  yum :)

Splinter the east african pygmy hedgehog

Splinter---hes part vampire!!!!
Today was a slow morning....by 10 we had 1 person at the zoo as far as guests go....before lunch another intern and I got trained on several more animals, which is super exciting!  We were trained on:

Honduran Milk Snake

Kenyan Sand Boa

Everglades Rat Snake
Spiny Tailed Lizard
Screaming Hairy Armadillo
I was also asked to spot one of the keepers while they walked the Bennett's Wallaby meaning I held Rocco's teddy grahams and the counter for counting visitors that interact with him.  Bennett's Wallabies are the largest type of wallaby and the only difference between kangaroos and wallabies are essentially the size.
