    There's actually a college degree you can get that's related to herpetology, but I forgot what it's called...

    Re: Herpetology as a career?

    Most 'herp' careers involve a zoology degree with a specialization in varying areas, which usually boils down to a herp type of career by work experience. I go to Mich. State and they dont have a herpetology degree, but I am a zoology major and could kind of tailor that to herps by working around them moreso than other animals.

    Re: Herpetology as a career?

    My son wants to go to the University of Montana and major in wildlife biology with a minor in zoology. He'll then get his Master's in the field that he chooses to specialize in
