What are the responsibilities and job description for the Roach Wrangler and Caretaker position at Fear Not Tarantulas, Inc?
Yep, you read that right! Are you interested in entomology and love bugs? If so, this job might be for you!
Fear Not Tarantulas is the largest retailer of tarantulas in the country. We import and breed over 170 species and ship them across the United States. We have a beautiful shop in Virginia Beach with lots of other interesting creatures for folks to check out.
We are seeking an addition to our team who would be responsible for taking care of our feeder and pet roaches. This is a very important part of what we do because we have thousands of spiderlings to feed and need a constant supply of roaches to feed them.
Responsibilities include everything needed for successful roach breeding including:
*Ensuring there is a constant supply of roaches hatching out and that we are doing everything possible to maximize the roach breeding program.
*Cleaning roach bins each week.
*Feeding and watering roaches.
*Learning the best methods to produce the species of roaches we breed and sell.
*Documenting feeding and hatch times accurately and consistently.
If you are willing to learn about roach breeding and can take pride in being a mighty producer of roaches, then you might be a good fit for this position!
Experience with animals is helpful but not required. This is a very specialized job and training is provided. This is a part time position but could lead to full time. Hours are very flexible. Hours: Coming in at least 3 times each week between 9 and 5 any day except Friday. The total number of hours each is going to be about 10 each week. If production increases, then hours could go up. Our goal is to have enough roach production to be able to sell them to our customers on a regular basis. Once that goal is met, pay and the number of hours would increase by quite a lot.
Send resume for consideration.
