Okay folks here's another.
As before, please; it's not an open debate on salary ranges for zoo personnel or the evil dictatorship of AZA-dom. It's a job position working with a great collection of herps in one of the most wildlife-rich areas in the country. If the position is not for you, please, disregard gracefully. If it's something that you might be interested in on a serious level, feel free to contact Larry Lemon/Herpetology Supervisor at larry.lemon@abilenetx.com
Thank you.
DH

OK guys, here's your shot to maybe work here...
http://www.venomousreptiles.org/articles/351
If you have questions, give myself or Doug a shout.
This is a new, primo facility in a rapidly growing zoo in an area where you literally trip over diamondbacks 8 months out of the year.
Pay isn't incredible, but the cost of living in Abilene makes up for it.
If you're a dedicated and experienced hot herp person that doesn't mind working hard doing what you love, this is a golden opportunity.
You won't hate getting out of bed and heading to work every day.
We have a very progressive collection ranging from Moroccan Cobras to Bulgarian Vipers, Panamanian Golden Frogs to Alligator Snapping Turtles.
Basically this department covers everything that isn't warm blooded; herps, fish and invertebrates- all the fun stuff.
Gotta fill this position quick!
-Larry
