Hired help, Start em Young :D

[dashnu]

Out for a backyard walk with my girls. Five easterns and one baby ringneck or redbelly... All though this guy is BLACK, never seen a black one, also never found a baby so not sure if this is normal at this age. Is this any sort of rare find?

Good stuff :) ... I'm still all jealous I can't just go for a walk and meet the locals lol

[crzy_kevo]

very nice brett glad your girls are enjoying herping with you :D

[infernalis]

Brett - Baby red bellies are very dark, it fades as they age.

Looks like you all had a fun day:D

[Garter_Gertie]

The ring-necked here are very dark with a light ring. Almost black dark.

Thass MY SMART KEVIE!!!

You could do much with a degree like that... Teach (grade shcool), work for the CDNR - or whatever they're called. Get your masters and teach high school. Get your PhD and teach college OR.... RUN the CDNR Herp Department or whatever.

But whatever you do with your degree, you know you'll be happy and NOT working! Because you'll be dealing with things you love and doing things you love.

And when you love what you're doing... It AIN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU!!!

[crzy_kevo]

well i could also work with all the herps at the local zoo too but either way i would really enjoy it i think

[Garter_Gertie]

You're nuts. You THINK you'd enjoy it? We'd have to keep you from bringing home every effin' herp you'd come across! LOL!

Kevie, how old are you? Listen to one who didn't find her passion (archaeology/history) until she was in her 40's. Had I know when I was a little kid one could get a JOB and make MONEY searching or artifacts, etc., I'd be in a different situation than I am now. But no one told me I could...

Go for your passion. Make what you love your life and you'll never be unhappy. No matter how 'poor' you are.

I'm getting paid $20/day stipend at the park I work at on weekends. Doesn't even pay my gas. But it's what I want to do for a living. And if the MN Legislature ever again makes what I do a paying job, I'm in. But that prolly won't happen in my lifetime.

It's my passion, my love, me. It's where I belong and what need to do. It's my zen place.

Get your degree. Get paid more for what you love than I do. GO, BOYFIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crzy_kevo]

ya im thinking i will :D i will just have to lok into how much student loans i will need i bet its a ton and i am 22 mk :D

[Garter_Gertie]

So? What's 22? You're 20 or so years ahead of what I was.

When you do what you love, you never work.

Do it, Kevie.

[jitami]

Brett, the girls are adorable!!! Soooo awesome that she caught that one all by herself!!! Tell her congratulations for me!

Kevin, I agree, go for it now... figure out exactly what you want and do whatever it takes to get there before you start a family. Things get so much more complicated when you have little kevies to support :D

[Garter_Gertie]

OH, GOD. LITTLE KEVIES? Gosh! I can hardly handle the one I have now!

LOL!

Seriously, Kevie. You love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

[Kevin_is_a_herper12]

Right on...i'm going to school for herpetology.....I want to be like the great Jeff Corwin/ Steve Irwin (R.I.P =[)...both my role models....=]

Awsome adventure you had there...I had meself one like that today...=D
