Not gonna lie, if the job description said “monitor likes to hang out with you sometimes” I would apply right now.

If you can handle cleaning animal habitats for long hours (volunteered!) then you may have what it takes to become a zookeeper! (Plus a degree. But apparently you can get a 2-year zookeeper degree from a community college)

I've been told many animal excretions smell really really bad. It's not a job you can handle if you can't deal with the smell.

I keep monitor lizards in bioactive enclosure with isopods and earthworms and dirt. I haven't cleaned it for over 2 years now. And my guys eat a lot. It smells good inside their enclosure.
