Talking Work experience placements.

I don't quite know how to put this, but lets stumble it out and see if it sounds o.k, hey?

I'm from Writtle college and I'm due to finish my work placement in February, so basically I'm looking for a new one.

I'm really interested in reptiles, and i was wondering if anyone knew of / owned anywhere that would be good for experience in the field in the Chelmsford area, i don't drive unfortunately, i wish i did though!

Any ideas greatly appreciated guys and girls!

I'm at a vet college, and we got a nice excel sheet with a load of placements for doing work experience with for exotic animals. Unfortuently, due to you not being able to drive, non are suitable... and its a biggish list!

One of them said they have cheap B&B's nearby... if thats an option? (RSPCA Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre & Cattery, Cheshire) and one said you could ask about staying with zoo staff (Paignton Zoo, Devon), but dont say I said anything!

This is my current one, but i think Feb. brings the time around to move on, somewhere more heavily reptile based, Reptile Masters is out in the sticks, i'd never get there, could check the other two out though!

Apparently he's wanting an evening-a-week sort of job. Else I have more in my magic list if you are interested in overseas?
