    Smile Herpetologist

    Hello everyone.
    Has anyone here gone to school to become a herpetologist? I am planning on being one when I grow up, and colleges of choice for hepetology?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Well, I plan to become a veterinarian with specialization in exotics, so I'd assume you could go to Michigan State, Colorado State, or Cambridge.

    Re: Herpetologist

    My plan was that me and my friend both want to go into the biology related field. I was going to go for four years and get my bachelors in biology and then find a college and get my masters in herpetology, which will prob take a couple more years.
