Herp Opportunities

[Davjaureg]

Hello, I have always had a passion for reptiles, raising several iguanas, anoles, ball pythons, pac man frogs, and recently, bearded dragons and was wondering what the field of herpetology had to offer for me financially.  I reside in California and am currently on route for a Biology major.  Even though raising reptiles is something I have a real passion for, I would also need money for food on the table and other expenses. Just curious to see what sort of salaries came with this career. Thankyou in advance for the insight, David
