*there arent enough herp vets out there
thats true so im hopeing i can either start my own vet clinic or be like a "floating vet" working at many vet offices on an as needed basis
thats basicly it if i cant find a college thatll let me major in both herpetology and vet studies ten ill just be a vet specializing in herpetology. (some people think i allready should have a herpetology degree tho, also at the expo i was talking with this breder who had never in his career asked him how visable was the head woble in his spyder ball python and with a different breeder and we were dscussing morphs and he was amazed how much i knew....he didnt have ton dumb anything down for me!) but i know i still got a lot to learn....
Yeah there isn't to much money in it unless you get degree in zoology or become a veterinarian that's why I'm still not sure if I'm gonna go to college or just open a pet store.
