Yes and no.

In a way you contradict yourself. You state “A veterinarian is NOT the same thing as a herpetologist”. Then you say “reptile surgery, veterinary work (injections, fecals, diagnosis) and research (both by speaking with other reptile owners, scientists, and field researchers)”. Which you practice but are not part of being a herpetologists.

Like I said, yes and no. In CA, vets. are required to consistently update their training. They don’t read or do research when they feel like it. Also, just because you have performed a surgery doesn’t make you a professional. In a way it is careless since I am sure you mostly use over the counter medicines, unless you obtain them illegally since you don’t have a license.

If you ever read up on plastic surgery and have some successful operations in Miami, give me a call.
