Welcome to the place for creepy crawly things!

 

If you're interested in reptiles and amphibians, or if you want to gain a better understanding of them, then you've come to the right place!  We have iguanas, turtles, frogs, snakes, lizards, geckos, skinks, and many more.  The purpose of this organization is to broaden and expand your knowledge of reptiles and amphibians, develop a true appreciation for their biological importance, and learn skills for herptile care in both their natural environment and in captivity.  We do this through games, trips, and hands-on experience.  We welcome people with all experience levels: whether you're a herp pro, or just trying to overcome your fear of snakes.  Check our our meeting schedule and stop on by!
