    Re: How old do I have to be to volunteer..

    Tiffany you might want to check into your local zoo and any teen volunteering program they might run. Toledo Zoo has an amazing summertime teen volunteer program though I'm unsure of the age requirement. Just an idea though and to be honest you're unlikely to be handling reptiles but the learning experience at any zoo plus the exposure to professional keepers I think would be invaluable.

    Re: How old do I have to be to volunteer..

    Like Wes said, you would probably be better off finding a local breeder who could use the help. You will probably end up learning a lot more, and child labor laws and minimum wage laws would likely be a problem for you at a shop.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    Just do as you said, go to these places and say, "Can I volunteer and clean cages because my love for reptiles is so deep and immense."
