I have a huge passion for herps. I am still learning as much as I can about reptiles. I have loved snakes ever since I was a little kid. I have a huge hero that has inspired me the most and I now have a future planned on becoming a herpetologist or maybe a zoologist. That hero just so happens to be Steve Irwin and I do watch his show. Most people call me crazy because I know the dangers of handling snakes and other dangerous animals but it doesnt scare me!!!! This is the only dream that I have had a passion this big for accomplishing. I don't want to end up having a boring life because I didn't try hard enough for my dream. Its weird when nobody wants to support you for doing something you love.
you have an awesome outlook on your goal of becoming a herpetologist/zoologist.. a lot of ppl don't understand us herp ppl and i think it's just their loss and education is the best way to help them understand us.. good luck :)
Hey i just read your profile and i think its great you want to pursue your passion. You are still young and have all the time in the world to become what you want. dont let anybody knock you for your passion no matter what it is and take whatever support you get to the fullest. You know there is no degree you can get in herpotology so you should get your degree in zoology and then take herpotolgy and specialize in herps. Either way good luck
