FOR
DIGITAL ASSISTANT
Cleaning
This will be the most time consuming duty at hand. Frequent tasks include cleaning water bowls, removing feces, watering plants, vacuuming, and washing enclosures. Gloves/tongs are always available.
Feeding
Start by preparing live insects, frozen rodents, fruits and vegetables. Then, feed hungry reptiles and ensure everyone gets to chow down.
Reptile Health
Bathe lizards, weigh snakes, exercise turtles, and simply help me check up on each animal to ensure they are healthy and thriving.
Video & Project Assistance
Although I prefer recording the majority of my videos solo, assistance with documenting projects, shooting additional footage, etc may be requested! Bonus points if you know how to work a manual DSLR!
Requirements
Location
If my nearest Starbucks is within a drive-able distance, you're good to go. You're expected to have a means of transport to and from my location.
Age
Ideally, you will be somewhat close to my age! Around approx 14 to 20 years old (I'm 18).
Passion
Experience is definitely a wonderful bonus, but it's more important that you have an interest in reptiles and amphibians.
NOT Required
Social skills & video presence
This can be a great opportunity to force yourself into an easy, yet still somewhat social environment if you have anxiety like me! I also do not plan on including you in videos, so no need to worry about "performing" for any cameras if you aren't interested.
Drivers liscense
As long as you have a means of transportation to and from me, you're good to go. You do not have to be capable of driving yourself to or from any errands I may have.
Dangerous reptiles
You never have to handle animals larger than a ball python without direct assistance. None of the animals I keep are venomous or dangerous to people.
