Daenerys likes seeing and finding animals in their natural habitat. She enjoys visiting zoos and private facilities that have great conservation efforts. She doesn’t go on hikes to walk but is on a mission to find something. Whether it’s a tiny jumping spider, snakes, lizards or an alligator!!
Daenerys favorite animal is the Typhochlaena Seladonia also known as the Brazilian Jewel. She says this spider will help eliminate arachnophobia. People call her Daenerys MotherOfSpiders because she keeps thousands of tarantulas. She also has snakes, lizards , geckos, turtles and fish.
Daenerys favorite outdoor activity is to go herping. Herping is when you go out into nature looking for reptiles, amphibians and other animals in their natural habitat. She likes to look under logs and rocks for spiders, scorpions and other bugs. During the summer she’ll sometimes go out from 7pm until 7am herping.
