    About the Expert
    Jessica Child is an animal lover living in Colorado who cannot help but collect and learn more and more about the animal husbandry hobby. She has been keeping cats, dogs, and fish since she was a child, and began keeping amphibians and reptiles as an adult. Her newest friends include a St. Bernard / Pyrenees puppy to keep her Labs busy. She has also recently picked up more millipedes and beetles. The beetles are still grubs, munching away every slice of apple offered to them when they're not eating leaves.

    In between hunting down extra snacks for these pets, she takes time to find good fried chicken, tacos and salsa, and bread.
