Cold blood runs in my veins- I was born a reptile FANATIC & have owned & bred many species throughout my life!
I grew up in the country, here in Kansas, along with my own treasurered zoo of animals & wildlife. I have always had a SPECIAL place in my heart for Common Snapping Turtles & Alligator Snapping Turtles!! I have kept them in my bedroom ever since I found & rescued a tiny baby Snapper in 1st grade!
I graduated from KU with Biology & Entomology degrees, & later earned my Masters degree in Business. I am a Scientist & Biologist, & continue to work in laboratory research fields. I am a certified Lab Animal Tech (LAT & GLP) & also on the HUMAN side, with Clinical Science (CCRP.)
In addition to being a HUGE Jeep enthusiast, my passion is educating & sharing my love of reptiles & animals, & the joy that their companionship brings to so many of our lives!
Thank you for being here, & hopefully my turtles & friends will bring some laughter, or show off something interesting!
