"someone with a degree that is more than likely outdated by the time they graduate".
Chances are a person with a degree will be able to understand "genetics" ten times better than someone who is self taught. By genetics I don't mean knowing that an albino is a boa that contains no black, but knowing how and why it happens. After all it's not just a cool looking snake, it's an abnormal boa. I guess you have also dissected a snake and have taught yourself the complete anatomy of a boa like biology students do at Berkeley. I’m sure you know the difference of a primitive and advanced species of boas. Knowing what temperature to keep a boa does not make you an expert.
If I ever meet someone who thinks they may have a boa with an infection or IBD I’ll just save them some money and recommend they see someone who has read a book and not a vet. which went to school and probably doesn’t know what he is doing since what he learned is probably outdated.
