Whenever I come across a species I haven't directly worked with I read up on the husbandry guidelines on Biaza. I am also a member of ABWAK and occasionally read the articles posted in the journals.

Continuing to develop professionally is important to maintaining exceptional performance. You can strengthen this answer by talking about species you've researched and how you came in contact with those species. Do you volunteer in a way that allows you to interact with a diverse array of species? If you utilize industry or academic journals to stay up to date with changes, consider talking about something you recently learned by reading a journal article and how it influenced the way you work.
