Yeah Zoology has its sciency moments. I much prefer the animal behaviour and ecology parts and thats what I'm doin my MSc in. Wish I had done some more hands on stuff, thats why I did the Exotics course but its good to have some sciency background too. All about finding a balance I guess!

Could i do level 4 straight away or would i have to do 3 then 4

I think you would need to do a National Diploma/Level 3 first, unless you can sort out the A-Levels...A level 4 qualification is the same as a degree!

I know what you mean! But I did it the other way round...practical then science and it was hard!

I am currently studing to be a vet nurse, and its mostly cat and dogs when we cover herps I love it but tend to know more than the teacher , can't wait till I qualify cos then I can do an exotic nursing course

Where abouts are you planning on doing your Msc? My university doesnt do any biology MSc's apart from aquatic based ones. Looking for some post graduate ideas.

'Keeping Reptiles' is an online course offered by Atikkam Academy. It introduces learners to all aspects of keeping a reptile, from understanding their biology and behaviour to issues of health and first aid. The course is ideal for all reptile owners, and particularly keepers caring for them in a retail outlet or visitor attraction.
