Skink? SKINK??? As a small child he was obsessed with skinks at the various zoos we visited, so life has come full circle for him.

Animal Handling
Once Ernest accumulated 200 volunteer hours at the zoo, he was eligible for animal handling training. The TGW kids who do this will be able to handle animals at the Junior Keeper shows. On Monday he got to handle some of the "Eew" exhibit creatures (all photos from Wikipedia):

I think I'd pick anything over that skink!
Oh, wow! What a cool opportunity. My older daughter would be so into this. I think I'd be more comfortable taking photos than doing the handling.
I'm glad he is happy to do this because you wouldn't find me anywhere close to any of those critters!!
Definitely not my kind of thing, but that's great that he is able to be so involved with something he's so interested in!
My older daughter would love to be in this program!
Skinks, even the blue tongue kind, are pretty common here. Still freaked me out the first time I saw one in my yard. And I thought they were called "skanks". I wasn't so good at the Aussie accent then. ;)
