Any of you snake biologists

Just wondering because im studying biology currently? And what do you do...

whoops i know im in the wrong forum but still ha ha any of you out there?

Moved this to General Herp for ya.


I'm not a biologist, though. :P

I, too, am working on a B.A. in Biology at the moment. I intend to use it to get into a zookeeper or ranger position, from which I can apply for grants to start a refuge for exotics and abandoned pets. (Hence the B.A. and not a B.S.)

Not many schools have a focus in zoology anymore, let alone herpetology. I believe you would have to go for a general focus and then specialize with an internship or other range of jobs. However, I'm sure there are things out there just perfect for that field, you just have to look. :)

I have my B.S in Biology, and we were offered a Herpetology class, but there was no available major for it.


You just have to keep looking around and go to the school that will offer what you want! :D

Ya im not really looking for anything in particular. Just trying to get some ideas.

there isnt really "snake bio".. more just herp stuff.. but your not going to be studying that if you are just starting out. im am majoring in animal science to become a vet and hopefully an exotic animal vet someday at a zoo. you study how the process works first then you get specific. when it comes to basic bio animals are pretty much the same.

I am also studying life sciences with an interest in zoology.

The nursing program looks pretty tempting sometimes though, so i might get derailed.

actually there is a snake bio. Biology is the study of all living things. And I have read articles of people classifying themselves as snake biologists.

The Major for Reptile studies is called Herpetology.


There are majors out there in particular colleges that allow you to major in Herpetology.
