I'm currently in shelter medicine but I hope in the future I can work in a zoo. I already have a B.S degree in bioengineering so the two year program is all I need to work in a zoo.

I wanted to share these pics so that fellow members can see what an exam should look like from a reputable exotics vet. Most vets just know dogs and cats and don't really know anything else on herps.
That's awesome! I'm currently finishing up my B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Integrative Animal Biology. As much as I would love to go to school to be a vet (still the plan...but looking into some backups), I am also heavily considering going into a Vet Tech program when I graduate. But I would much prefer to go into Zoo medicine. So with a B.S., I would only need the two year program to do so? Cause that'd be awesome. Just sayin.

And again, thank you for sharing. I wish my vet was half that awesome. But it's neigh impossible to find a good herp vet.
