Do you ever go on youtube? If you're interested go and search for ViperKeeper. Al posts videos every week of what it takes to work with hots. He breeds and provides specimens to zoos around the country.  That's where I really fell for venomous. I used to work in a lab and I'd spend all day hunched over a microscope with Al's videos playing in the background. :)

Cool!  My husband used to breed arboreal pit vipers (mainly eyelash vipers) and poison dart frogs for zoos and aquariums.  We haven't had anything hot in years... but were thinking of getting some eyelashes again.  We are down to one herp... my 12 year old daughter has a corn snake... a hearty starter snake. ;-)  Good luck on your degree.  And yes, people who will work venomous snakes is necessary... and important.  Plus, I think they are the most beautiful.

Yay! I'm only a baby herper as it were. I have currently kept small colubrids, several frogs species (mostly Hyla), and a beardie. But I have a huge passion for hots and conservation. I'm currently getting my AAS degree and want to be an exotic vet. Not enough vets are willing to work with venomous but they need love too. :)  

I currently only have two African House Snakes (2.0 Lamprophis fuliginosus) and a checkered garter (1.0 Thamnophis marcianus) The garter can be a pain in the butt. I'm convinced and early diet of goldfish gave me brain damage. XD

Yes Chizu!  Or perhaps used to be.  No longer breeding anything, but still enjoy roadcruising after a good summer rain.  What do you work with?

Any herpers on AN?

Homo toxicus

Excellent medical and toxicological documentary on the consequences of all the chemicals in our lives, on our lives and our immune systems.

(Viewed on Netflix)

Very interesting documentary playing right now on CBC radio on the consequences of the "Green Revolution" which has been ongoing since the 2nd WW.
