I was on the 2019 Croc Trip and absolutely loved it. Seeing Robert’s passion helped me figure out that I wanted to spend the rest of my life working with wildlife. I got out of the military last year and started working as a Snake Wangler on movie sets and I’m starting snake removal/rescue jobs for peoples’ houses next week. I’m also a volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center/rescue on my downtime and I’m able to work with wolves, foxes, gators, monitors, tegus, and snakes. I can’t wait to come back to Australia.
