Hey Brittany, to get involved in field herping, you just go into the field and study some herps. It’s that simple. For herpetology as a career, you need to study are in biology in high school, then study herpetology in college. It’s hard to earn a decent living from just herps. I am contracted with a snake removal service up north, and I make some pretty good money thru the summer months. I also breed and sell herps, there is actually more money in breeding rats. Ha ha. I am also the reptile curator at the Chattanooga Nature Center. One would think I could earn my living thru that, but just not the case. I also have to work full time as a flt manager and I also wrestle. Try to have something to fall back on in case the herping for living thing falls thru. Good luck to you. If you want more details on finding them in the field, email me.
