Kenneth

Kenneth started with us on Hallowe’en 2008. He brought with him a driving interest in reptiles and a determination to apply his experience from the reptile hobby in the veterinary field. When he’s not caring for his assortment of lizards and insects, he enjoys reading, cooking, gardening, and longboarding. Kenneth’s ambitions are too varied and mercurial to list, but they include gaining formal education and experience in the care and study of reptiles, tarantulas, and/or insects. He has a distaste for Comic Sans.

Chrissy

Chrissy has been working with us since October 2009. Working as an Animal Health Technician, she joined our team with just over 7 years of experience at small animal hospitals across Toronto. Her interests include animal behaviour, pain management and anaesthesia. She joined our team eager to expand her experience working and learning from exotic species. She has a domestic shorthaired cat by the name of Mini Mushu. Hobbies include reading, soccer, music, and spending time with loved ones.    

Rhoda

Rhoda has been working with us since January 2010. She has worked in a small animal practice with just over 2 years experience and wanted to learn more about exotics. She is currently enrolled at the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus to become a registered veterinary technician and is completing her final year. She would love to have many pets but her cat Dante would be a very tough act to follow. In her free time she enjoys going out with friends and family and reading.
