Well hello there everyone! My name's Shawn and I am here exclusively to learn and benefit from the wonderfully knowledgable folks here.
I was recently hired to work in the fish and reptile section of a local petstore, despite having damn near no experience apart from a fish tank when I was 6 years old. The manager of that section and I have discussed, and wondered, at the reasoning behind hiring someone with zero experience. I hope it was my glowing personality
. Regardless of the reason for such a poor buisiness move, I am quite glad for it, as I've discovered quite the love of all our little critters and a fascination with their well-being.
Unfortunately, my current living conditions and a crappy paycheck from said petstore job, I can't afford to keep reptiles of my own, but I plan very soon on getting a Bearded Dragon and building the hobby from there.
But that won't be for a regrettably long period of time (as in longer than right freakin' now!). For the sake of my scaley charges, and our customers, and my own curiosity, I feel it absolutely necessary to know everything and anything I can about reptiles. So please help me out, if there are other forums, good websites, that anyone "in the know" can recommend to me, I would be eternally grateful. Since working there I've already learned tons, but without much hands on experience outside my 2 shifts a week, it's hard to do.
I look forward to benefiting from, and eventually contributing to, this great community.
Thanks for reading that wordy mess,
Shawn W.
