Matthew's favorite animals include his pet tortoise and his broad head skink. They are not your typical pets, but that's what makes them great!! Reptiles are neat and so adorable with their personalities. They are the best because Matthew chose them. He loves feeding them and making sure his friends and family know all about them.
Matthew's favorite outdoor activity includes searching for new critters and observing them in their natural habitat. We love looking for monarch caterpillars on our milkweed plants and helping them thrive and grow and transform into butterflies. Helping nature have a hand up so we can all enjoy them for years to come.
