If you are interested in learning about invertebrate club and/or shifts to help take care of our inverts on campus, send us a DM! From honey bees, to hermit crabs, to tarantulas, to insect colony management, you can gain experience and husbandry knowledge working with as few or as many species as you’d like! 🐝🕷️🦂

Stephen
I’m a first year student that hopes on specializing in reptilian and avian medicine. In my free time I help run a reptile rescue and take care of my large collection of 80+ tarantulas. In addition, I have experience with keeping hermit crabs and scorpions.

Nicole
I am a first year and will be tracking the zoological medicine focus area. I love working with tarantulas and hermit crabs and have my own large hermit crab colony at home.

Meghan
I’m a second year student interested in exotic medicine, with an emphasis on small mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates. I have a variety of pets including horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, a bearded dragon, and 2 tarantulas!
