I have experience looking after my own pets at home. In a house with two dogs, two cats, six guinea pigs, a rabbit, six snakes and a tortoise, that I all care for, as well as previous experience with fish, rats, gerbils, hamsters. Owning border collies has helped me develop skills in dog training and dog walking. Especially since my own dogs are nervous and have to be walked and trained in a delicate matter, making sure not to train bad habits. From owning my own small pets, I am confident in grooming guinea pigs and rabbits including, brushing fur, cutting long fur to stop it from tangling and claw cutting. My main source of knowledge is in reptiles, I own many species of snakes myself, including a milk snake, two royal pythons, two western hognoses, and a boa constrictor. From this I have gained experience handling nervous snakes, large snakes because they boa is 8 foot long, and mildly venomous snakes such as hognose as. I am confident in feeding snakes and other species such as geckos and lizards, and am not afraid of getting bit meaning I am happy to help tame the more defensive species.
