Ooh, I just had to tell someone about my new job. Since I am aiming for exotic/wildlife med, I took a volunteer job with a wildlife sanctuary 2 hours from my home (the closest one :( Anyhow I am LOVING it! I spent all day 3 feet away from bears, cougars, bobcats, lynx etc.. I held a sidewinder, played with a few baby bear cubs, played with a lynx and cleaned a million cages. Also since not many other volunteers are greatly in love with reptiles or have vet experience, I was given the medical ward. There are several large pythons and a few baby animals. Anyhow I'm having alot of fun, and learned alot about large mammals just in one day :) Anyhow TTYS

Wow... that's a long way to commute, but it sounds like a great experience. :)
