18 weeks of lectures and homework completed! ✅
Two-and-a-half-hour final exam completed! ✅

Now comes the hard part… waiting at least six days for my final exam results! I'm feeling pretty confident about my chances of passing the Husbandry and Captive Management of Reptiles and Amphibians course!

I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself for seeing this one through! It took a lot of time, studying, and dedication, and there were definitely some challenging moments along the way. But that's also what made it so rewarding!

Even after nearly 30 years of working with and caring for reptiles, I still find it amazing just how much more there is to learn. This course pushed me to expand my knowledge, introduced me to species and aspects of animal management I wasn't as familiar with, and gave me an even deeper appreciation for the science, husbandry, and conservation efforts involved in caring for and protecting these incredible animals.

I've always believed that hands-on experience is invaluable, but there's something equally rewarding about continuing to challenge yourself, broaden your understanding, and realize that no matter how much you know, there's always more to discover.

I'm definitely glad to have this one behind me, and hopefully, I'll have another certificate to add to the collection soon!

But the learning isn't over yet! This weekend, I'm jumping into my next educational adventure with a Foundations in Wildlife Rehabilitation course. I'm especially excited about this one as I continue exploring opportunities to become more involved in helping and rehabilitating our native New Hampshire wildlife.

And after that? A much-deserved break from classes, lectures, homework, and exams!

For me, continuing my education has never been about simply collecting certificates. It's about growing, becoming better at what I do, and doing right by the animals I've spent so much of my life caring about.

Always learning, always growing, and always looking for ways to better understand, care for, and advocate for these amazing animals!

What an AMAZING morning at Matthew Thornton Elementary School in Londonderry, NH!

We had the pleasure of spending the morning with their 3rd graders, presenting two separate programs so every 3rd grade class could join in on the hands-on fun and learning!

What an incredible group of students! We loved sharing our amazing animal ambassadors with them and seeing their curiosity, excitement, and enthusiasm firsthand. The fantastic questions and eagerness to learn about our scaly friends made the morning even more special!

A huge THANK YOU to Matthew Thornton Elementary School for inviting Leaping Lizards Adventure of NH to spend the morning with your students!

An extra-special THANK YOU to the Matthew Thornton Tigers PTA for making these programs possible for the entire 3rd grade! Your support helps bring engaging, hands-on reptile education into the classroom, and we truly appreciate it!

And of course, a big THANK YOU to the 3rd grade teachers for your enthusiasm, assistance, and for helping us spread the reptile love!

Learn Wild. Love Wild.

More Than a Passion — It's a Commitment!

At Leaping Lizards Adventure of NH (LLANH), reptiles and amphibians are more than just animals we work with. They're a huge part of our lives, and their care, conservation, and future are things we genuinely care about.

We're proud to personally support and be involved with organizations that share our passion and dedication to these incredible animals!

SSAR – Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles

PARC – Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation

USARK – United States Association of Reptile Keepers

NEHS - New England Herpetological Society

Being a supporting member of these organizations means something to us. It's not just about having our name on a membership list. It's about standing behind the people and organizations working to protect these species, advance our understanding of them, and promote responsible captive care and proper husbandry.

We believe that conservation and responsible reptile keeping go hand in hand, and that education plays a huge role in both.

For us, this isn't just a business or a hobby. It's a lifelong passion, and we're proud to do our small part to support the animals and the herpetological community we love so much!
