The ENC Animal Caretakers Team (ACT) has rescued or adopted over 15 animals since 2007, and are giving them homes in the Biology Department of ENC. The collection consists mainly of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Our animals include a boa constrictor (Hercules), ball python (Slick), two corn snakes (Izzy and Pumpkin), a California kingsnake (Elvis), a bearded dragon (Eragon), a blue-tongued skink (Bandit), a Carolina anole (Camo), two tarantulas (Chili and Rico), a spotted salamander (Styx - with permit from Mass. Fish and Wildlife), two Chinese fire-bellied newts (Kaji and Mizu), a White's treefrog (Felix), and two Madagascan hissing cockroaches (Lola and Conchita). You can see some pictures of our animals in the column on the right. These animals are cared for by the team, and become ambassadors for their species as we educate our constituents about animal welfare, ecology, conservation, and wildlife.
