The students do most of the upkeep and animal husbandry on a daily basis and I just supervise them. Having so many animals in the classroom does make me a slave to the school, and I come in on the weekends and extended breaks in order to feed and take care of them, but the students love to interact and care for them.

Working on getting pictures of everything!
