What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreSasha has a wild love for all things that crawl, swim, or slither. From lizards and frogs to snakes and scorpions, she can’t resist catching, holding, and observing every critter she finds. Rain or shine, she’s flipping logs, scaling rocks, and scanning walls with a net in hand and a sparkle in her eye. She doesn’t just explore nature—she connects with it. Her curiosity is endless, her heart is fearless, and her hands are always full of something amazing.
Sasha’s favorite animal is the snake—especially her two western hognoses, Zara and Challenger. She loves how misunderstood they are, with their goofy upturned noses and dramatic personalities. While others flinch, she leans in with curiosity and care. To Sasha, snakes are graceful, unique, and full of charm. Holding them calms her, and watching them explore brings her endless joy. They’re not just pets—they’re her scaly best friends.
Sasha’s favorite outdoor activity is something she calls “catching”—her own adventurous way of exploring the wild. Whether it’s turning over logs, crouching in desert brush, or tiptoeing through creek beds, she’s always on the lookout for critters to observe up close. From lizards to frogs to snakes, she’s fueled by curiosity and excitement. Catching isn’t just play—it’s her way of connecting with the world, one creature at a time.
