I love herps, and I would love to work with herps for the rest of my life(I'm 16), literally. I currently breed Leopard Geckos, and I wanted to know some career choices in herpetology. Also, are there any colleges that have HERPETOLOGY as a major? Since I was in 7th grade, I knew I wanted to work with animals as a career, and study them in college. In the past year, I realized that the thing I've liked about animals my whole life is herps. I've been wanting to major in ZOOLOGY my whole life, and I know I can, but I want to know if there is anything else that would narrow it a little more towards REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS. Is it possible to make a living off of breeding herps? Any help would be greatly appreciated...please respond, thanks!
