Okay Folks. Once again, we're not looking for a 30 thread debate on the pay-scale of zoos or even how one feels about AZA on a personal note. It's simply a job description, plain and simple. Larry Lemon and Scott Deloney are working thier a$$es, off, down a staff person, while I sit home recouping from another hip replacement drinking cold drinks and watching my Steven Seagal collection, thus even I can't pitch in as usual, so let's get this position filled with someone quick before Larry loses it!
This is a great site and our last two professional herpers came from this very spot, so it can't be all that bad of a place to work! What we lack in pay- we more than make up for in fun, herping trips, and heck we even have rattlesnakes crawling about right there on zoo grounds, how can you beat that?Hmmmmmmmmmm
E-mail Larry Lemon, or myself for more info. But please, no sarcasim, if it's not for you, then so be it, let it go man.

c'mon guys, last chance.
I'm not THAT bad to work for!
A shot to work at a zoo, in the herp department, with a primarily venomous collection, while we're building a new herpatarium??
If you're interested, drop Doug(aquaherp) or myself an email!
We can discuss qualifications.
So far, all but one member of the herp staff has come from here.
