Just for the uneducated please fill us in on the difference in a a mulit degree biologist, who both worked as zookeepers, field biologists, researchers, and graduate students. During that time they were obsessive collectors and keepers of snakes, as well as of other reptiles and amphibians, and both individuals maintained excessively large private collections of animals. Each of these avid herpetologists has accumulated in excess of 10,000 snake-years of experience. (One “snake-year” of experience equals the full-time maintenance of one snake for a period of one year.) and a scientist.Originally Posted by DutchHerp
P.S Just in case you didn't know Herpetologist are Biologist that specialize in the study of reptiles. so unless you've seen Dave or Tracy's "Minor" for all of their many degrees I'd hold off saying what they are and aren't just yet.Not to say much, but the Barkers are herpetoculturists, not herpetologists. Yes, Dave Barker has a degree in biology,
Later, Matt
