Diploma Leopard Geckos???

[packs_fan]

I was watching this video on youtube the guy is well I wont say anything do to rules on this forum. Anywho he claims he has a diploma on leopard gecko breeding from the university of Illinois, so my question is there such a thing like that or is he lieing?

I have never heard of that, and I highly doubt it since I believe there is not even such thing as a herpetology degree, let alone a degree in leo breeding.

Well you can get a degree in animal health/veterinary technology, and then go on to get a degree in herpetology (it's what I plan to do), but there is no degree that is just based on or around leopard geckos You can, however, choose to research your own area of interest once you are a herpetologist, and that area of interest could very well be leopard geckos

Here's some info on Herpetology:

I think that diploma was made on a Word document of something. Lets say a few other member have given links to his videos… I wish I could say what I think, but the rules…

I think that might be the funniest video i've watched in a really long time. The best part is when he starts getting really mad about the sand...LOL... kudos to him for making me laugh.

Oh, sometimes it is so hard to abide by the rules.

 

[Tanner505Geckos]

[packs_fan]

Yea I can understand why you all have trouble. I really cant think of many ppl that think highly of him.

That's just wrong. I looked into U of I because it's the closest school with herpetology classes.

Here is their available course list for biology: http://www.life.uiuc.edu/sib/courses.htm

Here is their undergraduate programs: http://courses.uiuc.edu/cis/programs/urbana/2008/fall/undergrad/majors.html

And their graduate programs:

I don't post on youtube, but maybe that will help some of you out.
