I disagree with that.

If you keep reptiles you are an herpetoculturalist (or herpetoculturist).

An herpetologist is a scientist who conducts research on reptiles - research like metabolic studies, oxygen-consumption, developmental and other physiological studies. And of course, the ever popular ecology and natural history. And most herpetologists, professional or otherwise, publish scientifically vetted papers.

All just my opinion of course.
