That's probably true most of the time but... for example, there's a fairly reputable fellow here in VIC by the name of Peter Robertson who doesn't have a PhD and runs a consultancy specialising in herp research and baseline study. There a few who wouldn't call him a professional "herpetologist". He co-supervises PhD students, advises government departments and sometimes works in closely with the museum. Really a herpetologist is someone who studies reptiles (it helps if they do it well!), not necessarily with a PhD.
