So this is where I start!!!
Hello all,
I am currently a biology student and looking to learn more about reptiles(snakes). I know a lot about amphibians and I am looking to venture into the world of reptiles. So hopefully I will learn some stuff on here as it looks like a really good forum.
That is about all I have to say for now and of course some newbie questions along the way lol 
Take care,
John

Right now I am majoring in Biology/organismal/ecology and then going to get my masters in Herpetology. Really hard though at least for me but it will be worth it in the end.
I hope to learn a lot and I see I have a lot of reading ahead of me.

Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

Thanks for the replies, I enjoy everyone's welcome. Well I plan on teaching in the future( either college professor or high school teacher) and hopefully get a PhD to research toxins(future plans) in amphibians. I could also work at a zoo or some other herp related organizations. Since I am in the process of getting a degree in just Biology, I can get into a variety of positions in related Biology fields.
The main plans right now is just getting a job.
