Armando Jimenez

Head Keeper of our conservation center, Armando has facilitated the care and breeding of TC's chelonians for nearly two decades. Playing a key role in managing all aspects of welfare, from dietary planning, habitat design, incubation strategies, and early rearing have allowed Armando to identify the needs of turtles not just on a species level, but individual basis for many of our shelled residents. A father of four children, Armando looks to inspire the next generation in experiencing nature and a growing admiration for wildlife.
