What Is An Arachnologist & How Do I Become One?

Today I am talking to Dr. Linda Rayor from the Entomology Department of Cornell University, The President Elect of the American Arachnid Society and you may also know her from the Discovery Show Monster Bug Wars. We talk about what specifically an Arachnologist is and how someone can become and arachnologist. This is just a small clip from the 2 hour conversation we had in the latest episode of the @The Exotic Pet Collective podcast where we talk mainly about Social Spiders, Communal Tarantulas and Huntsmen Spiders. There is a link below and at the end of the video if you would like to listen to our entire conversation.
