WOW Icygirl that sounds wonderful! I think its awesome that you want to be a herp vet! As for your experiance I totally know what you mean! I live in Kansas but herping isnt dead here, but the vet i went to was a total dits. she wanted me to spend $250 bucks for DNA testing to see if ki was a girl... she still probed her and i got the same answer you did... A very confused answer that translated into "i... I think its a girl.." GRRRRRR they totally need to go back to vet school
