A variety of things, people from many different areas of study work with reptiles, everything from molecular biologists, physiologists, systematists, paleontologists, comparative anatomists, animal behaviorists, all of them find in reptiles excellent subjects of study.

You can study their phylogeny, their physiology, their DNA, their behavior, you can work on conservation programs to protect them, you can work in collections, cataloguing, filling out distribution maps. Man, there are so many things. It's just totally fascinating.
