What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI like spiders a lot because they are fascinating, cool, and I would love to save spiders and help them survive.
Spiders, Tarantulas specifically. I have two and they act very different from each other. My Mexican Red Knee Tarantula - Smithi politely grabs worms from me, he digs at night and hides in his coconut shell home. Dads Houndouran Curly Haired Tarantula named Curly, I love how he runs up and grabs his prey aggressively and he digs entire tunnels and caves.
My favorite outdoor activity is playing with my dog and digging in the dirt. I also love finding new insects and having my mom identify them depending where I am in Florida like caterpillars especially the venomous bright colored ones. We love learning and trying to catch the different Lizards that live in Florida too!
