Bio Pages 

Kendall Lupton, l-o-n-g time Aqualand employee, recent graduate of the Des Moines Area Community College Herpetology Course, and proud owner of a City permit allowing him to keep snakes longer than six feet. 

Kendall works mostly the day shift.  He starts with the kittens, then checks LA's work on the morning DOAs.

We also count on him to truck out the garbage, sweep and swab the floors.  He also releases the crickets and fills in on the Rodent Room and Bird Room.

Of course, he takes care of customers during all this time and covers the fish room during LA's extended lunch hours.

At home, Kendall raises show guppies, bettas, kribensis which he insists on calling "Kirbys," and chanchitos (C. facetum, not seen very often these days).

Look for him in the smoking section or showing one of our critters to a customer.  Kendall works very well with customers.  If he doesn't know the answer, he doesn't try to snow them.  He either admits he doesn't know or tries to find out the answer.

Sometimes there is no answer.  Sometimes there are several answers that apply to different situations.  Pet keeping doesn't always fit into neat little pigeon holes.
