Do the Doug Hannon fishing snakes work well underwater?

Is there some kind of Jobs or Volunteering for Teens to work with Reptiles (Snakes and Lizards)?

• I want a job with Reptiles preferably Snakes and Lizards, but I don't mind the occasional Turtles and Tortoises or Crocodoilians to be involved, but mainly just snakes and lizards and my reptile shop said that I can apply there if I had brought back a resume, but I'm going to try and volunteer at the SF ZOO to at least gain some experience working with wild animals for now, before I attempt to go back, but is there any kind of job or a place that I can volunteer at in Northern California (Bay Area) to work with Reptiles, I want to be an Exotic Animal Trainer when i'm older and train all sorts of animals, but I want a job with Reptiles as well especially getting to work with Snakes and Lizards. Where do you suggest that I start?

• Answer:

  I would start searching for reptile rescues in your area. They are likely to need the most help, and you'll probably learn more there than you would at any pet store. I don't know specifically what agencies there are in the bay, but a quick google search will probably give you plenty of options.
