Herp Medicine
How would I go about getting into the world of Herp Medicine?
Would I have to go through a basic animals training, then go on to specialize in herpetology, or is there some sort of class for that?

Re: Herp Medicine
I believe you would look at a good vet school, and then do rotations in herp internships. I'd contact a vet school to find out more details about it.

Re: Herp Medicine
Bel Rea is expensive and they are stuck up from what others that graduated with me told me after they called them.
Go to www.aza.org and it will list colleges, jobs, etc that deal with Veterinary Technicians, Veterinarians, and animal related jobs.
Stick to a nice two-year community college and you will be set. Much easier to pay for, IMO.

Re: Herp Medicine
So you only have to go to college for 2 years to become a veterinarian? I thought the process was alot longer?
