Abstract

The following is the first in the JNAH series in which we address a variety of topics on herpetology based on essays from our upcoming book “How to Be a Herpetologist,”. We will also answer frequently asked questions we and other professional herpetologists receive from students, colleagues, and the general public about herpetology as a career or an avocation.
