| My favorite part about working at the Science Museum is the animals. This is me with Staley, a retired rat basketball star and the sweetest rat in the world. She likes to lick and she bruxes when you pick her up. |
 |
| Sometimes she sleeps in her dish. |
| Her desk. She's the coach now ^_~ |
| Some of her team. |

| A- Norm He is a normal color phase you are likely to find in wild corn snakes. B- Snow He is a true albino. He lacks all pigment. C- Grey He is an anerythstic phase. This means he lacks all red pigment, leaving him a mottled gray and brown color. D- Red He is an amelanistic phase. This means he lacks all brown pigment, leaving him a pink orange red color. |
| The Rats |
| Me, Norm, and Snow. They call me the snake girl at Camp-Ins. |

| My Favorite: The Black Rat Snake |
 |
| My mother despairs of getting me a camera phone because now she gets pictures like this. Lets say she is less fond of rats and snakes than I am. |
| The Other Reptiles |
| Eastern Fence Lizard |
| Red Eared Slider |
| Mississippi Map Turtle |
| Arachnids and Insects |
| Pink Toed Tarantula Doesn't it look like it had its toe-nails painted? |
| Rose Haired Tarantula |
| Emporer Scorpion |
| Praying Mantis (who always hangs upside down for some reason) |
| The Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches and I have a special relationship... At each camp-in this year there are classes that require 6 roaches for study. Since I was already the snake girl, the camp-in people decided I could be the one to fetch the roaches. They're growing on me, I guess. It helps to call them all "Edgar." |
