Various studies from 2007- 2013 show that those who work someplace they enjoy or feel happy with are less likely to gain depression or anxiety disorders and are also more likely to perform better in work scenarios. Also working at a job you enjoy can lessen stress, aches and pains caused by stress, and help you to become a better person and a more outgoing and hard working human being.
      Have some respect and smile for someone else's succession. Respect, eempathy, and kindness will bring you anywhere you may wish in life. But you, and I stress ONLY *YOU* can change the way you act, it will be slow and hard but if you sit there wishing for other's success to become your own.

And you need desert landscapes, jungles, forests, and just about everything short of ice floes :-) And I love the idea of a crawl dome in Rex's enclosure, so little kids can crawl in and get close to the big scary alligator!

    This is so interesting!
    Emily and Ed, you are such a satisfying pair to present and communicate all sorts of topics - even those that are not primarily about reptiles - in a way that evokes and sustains curiosity and interest.
    I so hope that your reptile zoo is successful. I can't think of anyone I have watched who is better-suited to embark on such a project and adventure.
    While satisfying your own interests, you are objectively adding value to the world.
    You guys rock. (Hey...pun!)
    _About the _*_Universal Rocks_*_ habitat architects:_
    I never considered how habitat-developers fabricated materials. I was pleased to hear the guys describe that they worked to replicate/create molds from actual rocks, etc., that they sought out and discovered.
    Their behind-the scenes tour would be a _GREAT_ field-trip for so many students/clubs/groups....of all ages.

    About the weather in Wisconsin, sometimes where i live the snow can get up to about 4 or 5 inches. And sometimes even 2 inches of ice on the driveway. So i understand why you get excited when the car starts because thats how it feels down here. Gotta love the fact the hills are a curse during winter since they keep the cold packed in one spot for miles.
