Any question answered...

I had to look up "herpetology" to find out what it meant and the wikipedia entry is amazing.

"The word "herpetology" is from Greek: ἑρπετόν, herpeton, "creeping animal" and -λογία, -logia. People with an avid interest in herpetology and who keep different reptiles or amphibians often refer to themselves as "herpers".[1]"

1. Ermagherd a herper
   
2. Ermagherd a herp
   
3. A "herpeton" makes me think of a huge crowd of tortoises on tiny bicycles
   
4. You can also go "herping", which I guess is what sheathy did, accidentally - [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herping[/ame]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Sorry, it's been a long day. It is still amazing, though. I hope you find a home for her. If you give her a name you should call her "Derpina".
