Oh the love...

They love each other so much

Blogs I like and dislike.

A blog that I liked was:

http://luckydogrescueblog.blogspot.com/

My reasons for liking this blog site was because it is about a young woman named Ashley Own Hill who owns a rescued dog shelter in Missippi. I really enjoyed this blog because I share the same love for animals as the writer of this blog. She has a passion for saving dogs and truly cares for dogs. I also really like the design and theme of her blog. Its easy to read and is very informal.


A blog that I didn't like was:

http://animalblog.me/


My reasons for not liking this song is because it is only pictures, not a person who is talking telling a story or getting information. The pictures on this blog are beautiful but when you click on them it just takes you to someone's tumbler page. Personally I think a blog should be personal, not just sharing a bunch of pictures of your animals.

My future pets.

Someday when I'm living on my own I want to have lots of animals. Some of the animals I  want to have are:

• Iguana's 
• Snakes
• Several cats
• A small dog
• Chinese water dragon

These are just some of the animals I would like to have as pets someday.

Animal Science 916

I attend Century College for the Animal Science 916 program. It is a course on Veterinary Technology. I am taking this class because of my love for animals and because I want to be a Vet Tech someday. In my class we have lots of animals. We have ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters,  goats, chickens and ducks, rats, a bearded dragon, a bull snake, birds, an iguana, turtles, fish, cats, and a dog. The one thing I really enjoy about this class is being able to take care of and interact with the animals. We are assigned jobs every week to take care of a certain animals. It is kind of gross picking up animal feces and cleaning their cages but that is part of being in that career field. If I continue this class next year I will get a certificate for the class, If I do get certified then I will be able to go apply for a job at a zoo, vet clinic, and lots of other places dealing with animals. I really hope that I will be able to continue this class and get my certificate. It would be a really great opportunity for me.  Below is a picture of me and Yoda the Iguana. He was cold so I was holding him like a baby.  :)

Reptile Expenses

I love my ball python Mr.Kush. But the one thing I don't love about him is how expensive it was to get him. Fortunately I was given Mr.Kush by one of my sister's friends, who I traded my fox snake with. I had no cage for Kush when I first got him and I had to keep him in a glass jar. I was really lucky to have someone give me one of their old reptile gallon cages. The average price of a large gallon tank for a snake or lizard is around $100-$150. But the REALLY nice ones look like this:

I would love to get a giant cage someday like those ones for Mr.Kush but I don't exactly have $6,000 to spend on one. The nice thing about fancy cages are that they come with everything you will possibly need for your reptile. Most of them come with built in heat lamps and pads, vines and tree branches to climb on, and other accessories your reptile will enjoy. A majority of reptiles are used to living in a very warm or tropical climate so getting a cage that has everything a tropical climate has would be very beneficial.

This is the climate I keep Kush in.

Kush in his home. 

I have a wood log for him to sleep in which has a heat pad underneath the glass to keep him warm. I have a long branch for him to climb on, soft bedding for him to crawl around, and 2 heat bulbs that are over his cage to keep him nice and toasty warm. The temperature of his cage is about 80 F at all times.

My pets :)

I love animals and I want to go to school to be a Vet tech. I have two cats, two dogs, and ball python. When I'm older I want to have a lot more exotic pets. I personally think that  animals are way better than people, they understand you and they don't judge you.
