Grew up on the family compound, which was fairly deep in the woods but with the added luxuries of electricity, running water and a barn full of taxidermied field samples.
I was in suburban Ohio before I got here though. I had a job at a zoo and my grandparents needed some help taking care of my cousin after she got hurt. So I spend my days hiding in a cramped office at the back of the reptile house in between giving children tours of The Wonderful World of Reptiles.

Sometimes I think being here might be slightly less stressful than explaining the word "hepetology" to junior high students. And then I read words like "mad alien god" and kind of miss keeping kids out of the alligator enclosures.
