I am a big animal person and I studied the behaviours of turtles since I was 14. Now I work at the Essex County's Turtle Back Zoo and have been working with turtles for around 12 years or so.

I hope I respond to my own comment in a few years when I’ve completed school and am officially a zookeeper. This has become my life long dream overnight and I won’t stop until I’m there.

Hey Zookeeper Tom - loving these videos, genuinely fun and educational. Going into animal care after 10 years in the Tech Industry (heading to college to get my smarts). Watching your videos to help with inspiration and tips. Any tips when applying for work experience? How can you stand out on your application?

Thank you so much for this video, this has truly gotten me excited and hoping to become a zookeeper, I’m definitely that creative person and I’m hoping to find experience but need to do my A- levels first before taking a gap year to volunteer somewhere or apply for an apprenticeship in zookeeping 😭

I’m doing my research portfolio for my school on becoming a zoo keeper and what degrees I could possibly have. I was thinking of a Associate degree in exotic animals and then a bachelors in animal health and science. This video was very helpful though!
