Thursday

Today I came in and took my room temps. I gathered 14 day old mice and 14 fuzzies. I got the feeding clip board and started recording the snakes that we were going to feed. We fed the spitting cobras in the display and in room 102. We cleaned five cages in the quarantine rooms. We fed all the skinny snakes and three that were not eating in the quarantine room. They were fed with vitamine filled mice. Then we fed the snakes in room 111 we cleaned 3 cages and also fed the baby snakes. We fed 139 snakes total. After that I went to the supply room to look for pee cups but did not find them. Then I assisted in the relocation of the lypholized venom. after lunch we extracted I helped pippet and hold the tubed snakes when I had to. I cleaned up the area I was working in and placed the venom in the freezer. Lucy showed me how to inject the mice in the back and I did it. We also had a safety meeting and we had to handle and tube the coach whip.
