Um.... nope! I was a zoology major once (basically what you have to do to be a herpetologist) and the chemistry just killed me. You have to take physics too. Now I'm a computer information systems major, and only rarely get the chance to give myself acid burns.
Er.. not to discourage you or anything. 3;8P
I think being a private breeder is more fun anyway. Theoretically.

Yeah, it's a science. You don't go get a degree in Herpetology, straight off, either, or else Herpetologists wouldn't know anything. You need to take major in something like Biology or Zoology and take it from there. And that's life, sir. For Biology I'm going to have to take Calc III, yeah, if I can make it past PRE-CALC!! No one hands you a degree for free, you have to earn it!
