Schools In Los Angeles,Ca for Vet assistant?
No state (not even California) has any education or training requirements for working as a veterinary assistant. This is an entry-level position in a veterinary facility and training is typically done on the job. There are many many veterinary assistant certification programs out there, but none are legally recognized and there is no oversight body to ensure that the education you receive is valuable or even that the information is correct. If you choose to attend a veterinary assisting program, choose one that is taught by a veterinary professional (DVM or RVT/LVT/CVT) or approved by a veterinary medical association. This will help to ensure that you are getting correct information. You should also look for one that has hands-on requirements because the position requires good skills, not just knowledge. But remember that none of these programs will allow you to legally perform any more tasks than a person without any education or training. A veterinary technician is something different from a veterinary assistant. Veterinary technicians must have a degree in veterinary technology from either an AVMA accredited or the one California veterinary licensing board approved progam and must have passed the credentialing exams set by the veterinary licensing board in California. Without meeting these requirements, no one in California may use the title "veterinary technician" or "Registered Veterinary Technician" and they may not perform the tasks that the laws in CA limit to performance by an RVT. You can find a list of AVMA accredited veterinary technology programs here: http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/vette... And a list of the AVMA accredited schools in CA and the one CA licensing board approved program here: http://www.vmb.ca.gov/applicants/schl_ls...
How do you become a herpetologist?
your right there is no real course to become a herpetologist, but you can take a degree course in zoology, The modern Zoologist is exposed to a wide array of scientific techniques from biochemical to environmental using a wide variety of equipment for analysis, tissue culture, environmental manipulation etc., and involving statistics and computing. Zoology graduates are therefore well equipped for a variety of careers from field-based environmental research, fisheries and aquaculture, conservation and wildlife management, agriculture and pest control, to laboratory based work in medical research, forensic science, chemical industry, manufacturing industry and teaching. The study of Zoology provides a good basic training in Science, which equips graduates for a range of non-biological careers. then what you do is find somewhere like a zoo or museum to let you do an internship specialising in reptiles and amphibians, this the long and official way of doing it, you can sometimes get a place on a voluntary basis with wildlife organisations and go out into the field or do lab work and build experience but it will be long hours and no money but it will get you valuable life experience, the degree way does not mean you will get what you want as you will still need to do the small jobs before you get field time, but with a degree you can go on to teach, work in zoo's and museums so you can have more job openings, only if you are lucky enough to get a field study place can you do herpetology as a living but you can become an unqualified herpetologist by researching about all the different reptiles and amphibians, their care, habbitat, life cycles, if you start researching it will put you in good stead for a future job, as they will more likely choose someone who has researched before someone who just has a degree, get to know your stuff and you will make it best of luck honey

Where would I want to live in Texas?
I guess, given the variety of space in this great state, there would be a great variety of answers to this question. As I did my herpetological work in the Delaware basin, my first thought is somewhere near Lubbock. With Texas Tech, the west Texas view, the largest oak forest in the world* and other extremely interesting places nearby, I can't think of a better place. A short drive to El Capitan, a wonderous assortment of herptiles, not an unfriendly human in sight and wide open spaces, it is an easy to do something new every day. Furthermore, the geology ain't bad either. Guadalupe mountains, the Glass mountains, Carlsbad, the lava flats, White sands, ….Once over the line into NM, you can study the single species of lizard that inhabits three distinct environments and none of the three is hospitable to the residents of either of the remaining two.The single drawback in regards to your question I'd there are no ‘large’ herptiles in a real comparative sense. About the largest would be a Diamondback Rattler. But there are plenty of those.Now if you want to get further out, try Alpine and the big bend country. Sul Ross State UniversityTexas Tech UniversityAccording to TAMU -Texas Ecoregions“Today, the Big Bend region is benefiting from eco-tourism. Two national parks, Guadalupe and Big Bend, are major attractions for nature lovers. McDonald Observatory is a great destination for star gazers. Marfa is becoming known for its art community. Fort Davis is rich in history following the restoration of the Fort. Presidio and El Paso are gateways into Mexico.”*and about that forestLargest Oak Forest in the World?
What is the difference between animal science and zoology?
Animal science deals with domesticated animals - breeding, care, etc. It is a kind of applied zoology. Zoology covers the animal kingdom in general, from a purely biological perspective. Of course that is a very large field of study, so there are many specialized fields within zoology, like mammalogy, ornithology, herpetology, icthyology, entomology, etc.
Worries about zoology?
ive done a lot of research on the field and it seems ideal for me because i love both sciences and animals. but i have worries: i cant seem to find many schools who offer zoology as a major. any recomendations? is it hard to find a job once graduating? i would graduate with only a bachelors because i dont wish to go on to more schooling, but will it be difficult? and also just in general: is it hard to go to school far from home? ive never moved and i dont know what its like, but i have always wanted to. i dont want to stay in the same place for the rest of my life, or for much longer for that matter. im not talking about 4 hours away by car, not that kind of far. but 4 hours away by plane. i want to try, but i know i will miss my family just as anyone else. is it too hard or will it be worth it? any personal experiences? thank you so much, and if you know of any good zoology schools in texas, let me knoww:) thank youuu!!!!
