So far, this internship has been an amazing experience. I just finished giving medication to the last group of Bearded Dragons today. After I finished the nursery rooms, I had to give medicine to the dragons that live outside, and that was a little harder because they are so much bigger. So far I have not been bitten by a big dragon, even though some of the big ones were quite grumpy. I was amazed by the colors of the dragons outside, they get more color as they grow. The babies were a few different colors, but mostly gray/brown. The dragons outside were all so unique, they were red, yellow, white, and black.
Some skills that I have developed so far are being able to do quick calculations in my head to figure out the proper dose of medicine for each dragon, as well as gaining experience handling the dragons. I eventually figured out how to understand each dragon's behavior and predict how it will react to being handled. Today there was one dragon who was really aggressive and tried to bite me when I reached into its bin, but I managed to give it the medicine without being bitten. Now that I am done giving medicine to all of the dragons, I do not know what I will be doing. But my mentor told me that he has plenty of tasks that need to be completed
