Hey dragonkeeper!

I'm in year 12 myself, and up til end of last year i was looking into doing BSc (Bachelor of Science) majoring in Zoology at UWA (university of western australia). It's flexible how much time u spend there, to my knowledge the firts 3 years is pretty general BSc stuff, then the next few years u specialise, then specialise some more. Basically, the more time u spend there, the greater ur qualifications. So lyk i sed, i was planning on heading down that road myself then at the beginning of this year changed my mind and am now planning on going into Vet.

Vet's a 5 year course, and i've heard that the first 3 years you cover BSc stuff anyways, but its more focused to animals. Wat this means is that (because Vet is sooooo much harder to get into) you cld probably go into BSc, do 3 years BSc then get the credits to transfer to vet, or just continue with ur BSc.

It sounds lyk ur lyk me, in that u just want to no everything about herps rite away I've done quite a lot of research into different courses and stuff, and found 1 course in a uni in Texas i think it was that offers a herpetology course.

Just be patient. Lyk some hav suggested, why don't u just do the reading urself now ? Cos i no that if ur anything lyk how i was in year 10, getting urself into something on a whim generally ends in u getting over it pretty quickly lol. If ur really passionate, just do the research - thats wat ive been doing.

Tim
