Go to vet school. Make sure it is accredited first so you don't throw away your money. I went to an unaccredited college for vet techs and the degree was worthless. I have to do it again at an accredited college. Then study exotics and volunteer at places like zoos and make a name for yourself. Eventually it will pay off. Alot of hard work is involved but it should pay off in the long run. An assoc or BA in zoology is also very helpful. Because if you want to go global you better know your stuff.

As soon as is realistic, start trying to work with animals in some way. Helping in a vet's office, working at the animal shelter, volunteer at the zoo, working with a wildlife reover center, etc.
In school, get good at math and science, and general study habits.

You would have to go to regular vet school then toward the end of that you start taking more classes in your specialty. Zoology etc.
You also will do your interns in regular vet hospitals and the zoos to work with their exotics. And then you start working more with the animals in your chosen field.
Just like medical school.

train to be a vet and specialise modules in herpotology. Do placements/work experience in reptile specialist vets or places that work with reptiles.
Do lots of work experience

in case you ought to bypass all kinds of finding out.. interior the US, issues like the USMLE and so on.. then you certainly ought to shave approximately 2 years off your scientific training. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that a solid majority of scientific training is medical in nature. there is not any exchange for experience right here.
