I'm a current undergrad student studying environmental biology/zoology!! I'm looking to specialize in wildlife conservation in sea turtles and tortoises:) I just can't get enough. I was wondering if anyone else on this forum works with these wonderful creatures for a living. If so, how?
Aaaand because I can't help showing off pics of my babies Lucy and Lilo (they're technically not allowed in the dorms but my roommate and my RA don't mind)

Get your grad degree at a big name school under a leader in your field and make them think you are god's gift to them and their research.

I'm not kidding.

Tom, big contributor on this forum, is an animal trainer. He works with ALL animals, includes torts. I'm insanely jealous :) He recently did a post on some of his work. You can see a lot of his work in movies and commercials.

My boyfriend went to MI state! You're lucky they are letting you have your torts in the dorm ;)
